I did not see the US butchering 30k protesters in 2 days.
And no, stop your American exceptionalism, ICE is not the same.

The US mostly isn't interested in butchering it's own citizens, slavery is the approach we went with À la the U.S. prison system.
We killed far more Indigenous Americans than that. I agree with you on the prison system though.

I hate to break it to you, but US prisons, while maybe worse than Scandinavian ones, are on par with France, and way better than like 70% of the world.
This is not a competition who has it worse. You can acknowledge terrible things that IR does without trying to portray yourself as a victim.
You are conflating issues. As a foregone conclusion the U.S. bombing the sovereign citizens of Iran is acceptable to you, only afterwards are you and other's justifying this by cherry picking recent events. If Iran hadn't just killed protesters, it'd be because they were working on nukes, or because they've launched missiles across borders.
You blind yourself to the dozens of countries around the world doing these things and worse every day while picking and choosing enemies that are acceptable for the United States to attack like al la carte menu items. Justifying those attacks is an after thought.
> are on par with France, and way better than like 70% of the world.
French system is quite different from USA one. And the 70% of the world claim is based on what exactly?
> on par with France
The US per-capita incarceration rate is ~5x that of France.

Your threshold for desiring regime change is the murder of 30,000 people?
Nah you just bully your allies and illegally tariff the entire world, no biggy
You didn't see anyone butchering 30k protesters in 2 days, because that didn't happen.
I did see. It is sad that you've decided to look away.
It definitely did happen, it might have been 40k.

I don't think you intended to use this the way you did
You don't understand: they are getting held in civil detention before being sent back to the country they came from on a chartered plane!
True but a lot of people would like to see Netanyahu and Trump replaced with other leaders.
Protesters that took to the streets, according to what I read, because the US president said he would back them. Sounds like he led them to a slaughter to generate justification.
Protests started way before Trumps tweet.
Second, why are you legitimizing gunning down thousands of people?
I'm delegitimizing the US president saying things he can't back up, causing death, and getting the US into another war that the American people didn't ask for.

I mean we just killed a bunch of children. So give it a bit of time I’m sure we can get those numbers up.
Trump is the kind of person who would kill protestors to stay in power. We all know it
Have we forgotten the huge amount of covid deaths?
I'm so over the reddit shit on hn.

If you instigate a war you are responsible for all casualties.

This is the Zionist modus operandi. Bomb civilian targets, then claim it's a "stray weapon". When the truth comes out, just ignore it. Zionists have been the aggressors in this region since Zionism was invented.
