The US Soldiers Killed In This War Were Not Heroes

This Is Even Dumber And Crazier Than The Iraq War Reading by Tim Foley:

This Is Even Dumber And Crazier Than The Iraq War

This is the new George W Bush. Trump is what Bush metamorphoses into when it emerges from its red cocoon. The crazier the US empire gets, the more insane its managers are becoming.

They are everything they accuse Iran of being. They are dangerous religious fanatics. They cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons. They are the tyrants. They are the monsters.

Iran Is Morally Superior To The United States Reading by Tim Foley:

Iran Is Morally Superior To The United States

Iran is better than the United States. The United States is worse than Iran.

We’ve never had the experience of seeing our child’s shredded body after a blast and thinking about how we’d carefully helped them dress that precious body for school just hours before.

White House officials reportedly want Israel to provoke Iran into attacking US military bases in the region, because it will make Americans more willing to go to war.

It's not okay to be a grown adult and believe US military interventionism to topple a middle eastern government will lead to peace and harmony. If you believe this, you should be shouted down and shunned like the scum you are.

Diaspora Iranians are not some kind of magical elf creature who is incapable of error. They're normal human beings like everyone else, and many of them are stupid assholes who need to be told to shut the fuck up.

To be clear, not one single person sincerely believes that "from the river to the sea" is a genocidal or antisemitic slogan. They're just pretending to believe that in order to get new laws passed which crush free speech that is critical of a genocidal apartheid state.
