Not at all. Iraq’s broken economy is due to Bush trying to force Iraqi economy to privatize after 2003. Iraq made a trade deal with Iran that they bragged would be very lucrative for both countries. It’s not warfare like you called it.

Complaining about Iran having too much influence in Iraq is like complaining that the Vatican has too much influence in Ireland.
Iraq is not the same as Iran. While the countries now have close economic ties, Iraqi politicians have bo interest in changing Iraq’s government to copy Iran’s.
“They did their job correctly this time” doesn’t erase a lifetime of them failing to do so. For every professional example like this I see many more that do the opposite.
Didn’t Biden promise to retaliate for any American killed overseas? Oh, except when Israel does it.
You mean like how South Africa pretended black people weren’t citizens and instead citizens of Bantustans that they conveniently set up? Yeah that’s how Israel does it in their apartheid too.
Calling Israel a democracy is stupid when it has Jim Crow style laws at best and apartheid at worst. They don’t let most Palestinians vote and keep them on bantustans.
Historically, Israelis starts a massive bombing campaign in the day after US elections, and keeps it up nonstop until the day before inauguration. It’s almost an occurrence every four years by this point.
Yes they had schools and hospitals built using that money, which Israel bombed.
Blinken has zero credibility. He’s been hammering Palestinian negotiators in public and trying to speak soothingly to Netanyahu, all because he’s folllwing Biden’s orders. He’s literally putting Israeli lives over those of Americans.
I believe there was one departing from Turkey and the Turkish government stopped them.
Even the Israeli government pretends to be sad that journalists die covering wars. They’re more extreme than this?
Darn it X. There’s mirrors but I don’t know where to look. Regardless this wasn’t some hearsay, I saw the video posted too.
The original video is linked in the article. Looks pretty damning to me.
No. Germany can recognize Jewish lives and the worldwide Jewish community without needing to play into the hands of a rightwing apartheid state and getting involved smack in the middle of their political dispute. This isn’t hard; it’s like being able to say Black Lives Matter without having to support and endorse the controversial policies of Louis Farrakhan.
This is idiotic. Gandhi hated that Pakistan split off and said that he recognized their existence but would never recognize their “right” to exist.
That’s not even an international policy. Does Castile have a right to exist? Does Kashmir? Does Kurdistan? Why doesn’t Germany demand the same for others?
Reddit was in a frenzy over the claim on October 7 itself. The major basis behind it was a video of an Israeli prisoner with what appeared to be blood on the back of her pants. The major worldnews sub banned anyone who questioned the claim. Weeks later it turned out that the blood on her bottom was because she had cut her ankle and was sitting or kneeling in the back of the truck and got it on her pants, not that she had been raped like many assumed.
Hamas doesn’t exactly pick the most civilian-free areas to set up their base of operations either.
IDF headquarters is in the center of a civilian area in Tel Aviv. By Israeli logic, is firing missiles at Tel Aviv a legitimate military objective? Netanyahu’s bunker is in a crowded civilian area too, why is he using human shields?
The issue here is that the IDF believes Israeli lives are FAR more important than Palestinian lives. How much? They actually have calculated how many Palestinian civilian deaths are acceptable to protect one Israeli soldier.
Netanyahu said since November that even if all hostages were released he was going to invade anyway and not stop the war.
That’s not necessarily love for Palestinians, it’s more like anger against the Israeli far right.
