Sorry, Iran has a "responsibility" to defend itself.
And America's decision to slaughter Iranian schoolchildren was completely optional. It happened only because Israel convinced Trump that there was an easy win available.
Americans should be grateful that Iran has shown great restraint in their response.
By any definition of the word? Weird how "any" means israeli sources only. Everyone else agrees on it being a genocide. The israeli government is so brazen about it that it is funny to see your comment in 2026 it seems straight out of 2023
The UN defines genocide, in part, as "deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction in whole or in part."
This accurately describes Israel's multi-faceted genocide against the Palestinian people.
It is a genocide. It is mass murder. It involves direct violence, starvation, destruction of economic possibility, and it is morally abhorrent.
> your solution is the slaughtering of millions of Jews
The destruction of Israel does not mean the murder of Jews. A government can be replaced without killing everyone in the country. History is full of examples of this. Genocides are considerably _less_ common.

Where is the part in genocide when the supposed "genociders" are allowing 4000 calories of food a day into the people they supposedly want to destroy, as well as providing things like polio vaccines? And where the number of civilians killed by one of the most lethal militaries resulted in deaths at a 1:1 civilian to combatant ratio, a number completely unheard of in modern warfare?

Are you being serious now? And when the Jews say they like their democratically elected government, what exactly will happen when an outside force attempts to "destroy" it?
Sorry, no country has a right to anything. We should do what's best for ourselves. This isn't it.
Humans have rights. Countries have responsibilities.

Iran purposefully slaughters thousands of its own protestors. The US made a grave mistake and accidentally hit that school.
If you can't understand the difference, you're beyond help.

Iran hasn't shown restraint, their military is just not very capable. But I 100% don't think it was a good idea to attack Iran https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49037704

So if the US was invaded we wouldn't be justified in fighting back?
States have rights in the way corporations have rights. They don't. It's just a game of legalese to justify crimes. Rights are for living things
If the US were invaded, I would agree with fighting back and possibly nuking whoever attacked.

Israel hasn't committed genocide by any definition of the word, but I really enjoy that your solution is the slaughtering of millions of Jews.
> then it is for the best if their country is destroyed entirely
Deep, deep thoughts, man.
