True on your first point, but their religion aligns better with liberal values so they get a pass. But excellent point.
There is a way to stop them, Israel is doing it. You kill all their scientists, generals and leadership and the facilities where this is being developed.
I don’t defend Israel actions in Gaza, but I think their actions towards Iran are very much justified in the grand scheme of things. Do I wish we could solve this without death and destruction? yes, but I also don’t trust that Iran will act in good faith and will stop developing the weapons even if they pretend to reach a diplomatic solution. The only way to stop them is to defeat them in such a way that they cannot recover.
"Liberal values" like having an explicitly religious/ethnic state, not having due process, having second class citizens, not respecting international law, etc. Yup. Sounds liberal to me. Maybe I don't remember hewbrew school too well but I don't think this was covered.
I did say “aligns better” not perfectly. I’m not defending them anyways, im just saying if I have to choose between one or the other, I know which one I prefer.
The one committing genocide?
