I think they are holding off the last Ayatollah's funeral so they can have a two for the price of one next week. |  |

Replace "Ayatollah" for "Chief Rabbi" and most people would say that was a deeply offensive antisemitic comment. |  |

An interesting commentary on the regime. I’ve no idea on its accuracy or bias.
https://theconversation.com/ay
What is obvious is that this state in its current form is oppressive, odious and Stone Age. It exports terrorism and embodies what I consider to be some of the worst aspects of human beings.
As far as I’m concerned I’ve no problem with every one of that evil regime being killed given what they are, have done and will do.
But no, I don’t think Trump’s playground electioneering adventure with no plan is justifiable or will be successful. I actually think he’s made it worse for the people, ensured that the country will acquire a nuclear weapon and will use it.
Solution? I wish I had one. That part of the world feels like war without end with the innocent paying the bill.
What should the UK do? Free itself over time from the US, build defence industries instead of flogging them off and arm itself to give itself half a chance of being left alone.
It’s no solution, won’t stop the generational killing in the Middle East, but I can’t think of anything better |  | | |

How do you square Iran's missile systems which they've managed to develop during decades of heavy sanctions, their military tactics to hold the global economy in a head-lock and their almost sole support for a state undergoing a genocide with being Stone Age? | |

As far as I'm aware, the Chief Rabbi isn't the head of state of a murderous dictatorship.
The spiritual influence thing in 2019 was not great, but somewhat pales into comparison with the Ayatollah's naughty list. [Post edited 24 Mar 1:25]

You're right, the Chief Rabbis - I think there are two of them - are not heads of state. They are the highest ranking religious figures in the country promised to the people of Israel by God, so I suppose they have some influence of Jewish culture. To my knowledge (and I'm happy to be proven wrong) they have remained completely schtum about the ongoing genocide being carried out by their peaceful religion. | |

Towards its own population: Primitive, crude, controlling, subjugation, murdering, imprisoning, muzzling. Towards other countries: imposing, threatening, dismissive, disrespectful, parasitic. Throw backs. Evil.
There are plenty of words better than comparing to people of 3 million years ago. A comparison to peoples of 2500 years ago or 1500 would be more appropriate.
A better question is whether it is right for me to apply the values I have grown up with on another country or culture.
To the point, the subjugation of their own people and the desired imposition of their despotic will on others is why I use a term like Stone Age. The people of Iran (historically Persians with all that rich history) are of course just as intelligent as anyone else, which makes the imprisonment of its own people all the more sad.
They are of course able to utilise and be used by other countries to buy and develop their weapons of varying degrees of sophistication. They even exported them to another country to aid its unjustifiable attempt to invade and take a country that isn’t its.
In terms of military tactics, they are more political than anything else and hardly match the sophistication of Napoleon or Caesar. They border a choke point which is an obvious, easy target and I fail to see that crudely bombing surrounding countries will be anything but counter productive.
I assume you are referring to its support of Palestine. I don’t want to get into that, but my instinct and out of date knowledge of ancient history tells me their actions over time since 1979 are driven more by the desire to eradicate Israel than any love for the Palestinians or altruistic reasons.
Just thoughts. But I’m happy to be corrected by those who know the history and politics of the region far better than me. [Post edited 24 Mar 9:27]
