Your comment seems to suggest you support the idea of Iran regime going down?

Yet in the same breath, you criticize Iran for saying that 'US and Israel should cease to exist'.

Given Israel currently has nuclear weapons, Israel is currently committing genocide (helped and funded by the US), the atrocities that Israel have committed over the last 70 years (setting aside the fact that it is an apartheid state, and is an occupying force, continuing to steal Palestinian land to this day), and the fact that the US has killed more innocent civilians in recent history (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan) than Iran has...

Why the double standard?

And before I get accused of being a Khamenei supporter (Westerners tend to not like nuance on these topics) - I hate the Iranian regime. I agree there needs to be a regime change. At the same time, I also think there needs to be a regime change in Israel, as no government since it's inception has been for peace - the only PM they had that was doing the bare minimum towards it was killed by an Israeli.

The definition of genocide has been fluid lately. Can you clarify what you mean, exactly?

Has it? Interesting. Wasn't aware of this phenomenon.

> Israel is currently committing genocide

Israel does not commit genocide by any objective metric.

> the fact that it is an apartheid state

And it is not an apartheid state as can be evidenced by the fact that Arabs and other cnthincal minorities, e.g., Druze or Cherkessians, reach highest positions in politics, academic, and private enterprises. You can simply google things like "notable israeli arab judges" and get results that disprove this whole idea of "apartheid".

> and the fact that the US has killed more innocent civilians in recent history (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan) than Iran has...

This is strange argument. So, if US did bad things, others should do them to?

You do not have to be Khamenei supports, it is enough to have double standards. From your own comment it is clear that you see the whole IP conflict without any nuance. For example, you ignore all the injustices jews suffered from the hands of Palestinians even before 1948. So, I will ask the same question you asked:

Why the double standard?

It's not genocide, it's a special murdering operation.

yeah, not going to entertain genocide denialism in 2026. You can at the least state it's plausible, and I'd take you seriously. The rest of your drivel is a deliberate misreading of my post.
