I agree with you that it's not Iranian but I also agree with the other commenter that statement about "Lebanon" is misleading. That's all I'm saying. Regardless of the fact that Hazbollah may have de facto control of Southern Lebanon, it's still inaccurate to simply refer to them as "Lebanon".

    Hegemonic media refers to zionists as "israel" all the time. And they NEVER say "american-backed" zionists/israelis. That's far more widespread and dangerously misleading as usual.

    Ok... and? That doesn't make this statement accurate.

    In my view it's always better to specify an organization rather than a nation. When we talk about nations it often allows people to conflate the government or a faction within it with the entire populace, who may or may not support those actions.

    Its better for Israel to pretend southern Lebanan is not northern lebanon, is what you mean libertylizard, so zionists can steal the land, murder all the civilians with the excuse of every literally single structure and civilian in southern Lebanon being "Hezbollah".

    There's a repeated pattern in your comments Liberty Lizard. You reliably take the capitalists side on some vaguely moralistic ground that doesnt hold up to the same scrutiny being applied to the west. Its utterly dishonest.

    Excerpted from your other comments:

    And I did acknowledge that I agree Iranian morality policing should be condemned, so it’s not like I’m trying to defend them, just talk about a related issue.

    I do agree that the Cuban medical system is impressive. I just wish they would not lock up so many people. Would make their system as a whole a lot more interesting if they had actual political freedoms.

    Truly unhinged comment. I'm literally criticizing this statement specifically because it more easily allows Israelis to dehumanize Lebanese people by assuming they're all identically dangerous Hezbollah soldiers, rather than a diverse group of people each with their own unique actions and ideas. So it's actually the opposite of what you're claiming here.

    And criticizing violent police states is not taking Capitalists' side lol. In fact, the Iranian government is capitalist, so if you unquestioningly defend them in every way, you are the one who is taking the capitalists' side.

    In the context you omitted I was attempting to point out the hypocrisy of condemning Iranian morality police while ignoring the similar policing in the West, but that's not too convenient to your made-up narrative, is it?

    Congrats, you are everything that is wrong with the online left.
