Sooooo what's up here... trying to guilt the left into slaughtering Palestinians because Islam must be stopped?

I remember when the cl0wns did this about Afghanistan... ladies in burqas and stuff... tossing gays off roofs... the US was going to free them... etc... Bibi recommended that we stop Afghanistan by attacking Iraq... and we turned Iraq from secular into a theocracy.

In fact... one could argue that in 1953 by interfering in their democracy... with a coup and the installation of a brutal regime... We don't know how to fix their Muslim problem... the more we mess with them... the more radicalized they become.

Quelle surprise! The Israeli's continuing conflation of Judaism and Zionism will be the end of Bibi's reign.

What BS! Not a word about the poor woman who will be beaten and probably already tortured? Do you support Iran and Afghanistan's treatment of their women? It sure seems like you do by giving them a 50 year pass to do as they wish to their women because the USA was bad to them in the past. Sure, the CIA was evil to them but how in the hell does that mean they can treat their women like cattle. Maybe Islam would do better by not subjugating their women into cattle and marrying off their little girls? Naw, just keep giving them a pass for this crap.

Women are treated worse than they treat cows there.

Cows are not beaten for not wearing burkas when they sing.

Don't you worry. Christian White nationalists are fighting their hardest to subjugate our women into cattle.

Best of luck America!

It's true though. Iran and Afghanistan would be a lot different if the UK, US and USSR weren't screwing over those countries for decades. Look up pictures of Iran and Afghanistan in the 1950s. A lot of it is like looking at 1950s America.

There's no excuse for Iran and Afghanistan's treatment of women but I think it's pretty fair to lay blame on their regimes and how they became that way.
