Prove that what I said is not true. I knew you couldn't.Cult fiction
Because Iran is a threat to Israel.not sure what is the point of highlighting this for Iran?
You mean to say only US /UK democracy is democracy? Does this mean any other “elected” government is not democratic coz it doesn’t suits US/UK agenda?A look at history has me thinking Iran wouldn't be a democracy, at least not the kind we have.
The Pahlavis took the throne by a coup themselves in 1925 and despite the existence of a parliament, Iran was still a semi-autocratic state. It's also worth noting that the Shah was only briefly out of power between '51 and '53.
of course we could then add in the conflicting ideals sweeping the region at that time with the battles between nationalists, west focused progressives, communists, and Islamists and it is quite likely that simply eliminating 1953 would not make significant change to the themes there.
But it's easier to simply blame the UK/US and pretend that Persians/Iranians were just helpless pawns.
In this case the focus should be on “threat to Israel” not on women empowerment and human right.Because Iran is a threat to Israel.
Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, none of them are a threat to the West. Neither was Iraq under Saddam.
But Iran is a threat to Israel. And that's all that matters.
Not really. I think China recognizes the Taliban as a legitimate government. That is about it.Why so much fuss about this? US and western countries recognise Taliban as a govt of Afghanistan and these things are pretty normal in Syria laws followed by Taliban?

2 million Palestinians who live under Israeli rule are refused citizenship, the return of their land and the right to vote.All Arab Israeli citizens have full voting rights as well as all the same other rights as Jewish Israeli citizens have.
Israel is apartheid and committing genocide.At last you are admitting that Iran treats their visible minority citizens like shit, including the 8,000 Jewish Iranian citizens. Israel treats all of their citizens equally.
But as you rightly point out they are not citizens. Israel, like every other sovereign state in the world, has the right to bestow citizenship on whomever they choose, arbitrarily or not. It doesn't matter. I said that unlike Iran, which even you said treats their minority citizens poorly, Israel treats all of their citizens equally and this statement is accurate. Jump up and down and scream all you want, but that is the reality.2 million Palestinians who live under Israeli rule are refused citizenship, the return of their land and the right to vote.
I just did.You can't argue that everyone gets to vote by refusing citizenship to the indigenous population, Shazi.
Israel treats all of it's citizens equally which is the opposite of apartheid. They are under no obligation to treat non-citizens, who, BTW, do not even reside in Israel, the same as Israeli citizens. It's a ridiculous claim.Israel is apartheid and committing genocide.
You just described apartheid.It's a reality that you need to deal with. It is Israel's right to decide who become citizens. The Palis are not citizens and hence, do not get to vote. It's a rather simple concept.
Your arguments are idiotic, Shazi.Israel treats all of it's citizens equally which is the opposite of apartheid. They are under no obligation to treat non-citizens, who, BTW, do not even reside in Israel, the same as Israeli citizens. It's a ridiculous claim.
The UN passed resolution #1761 condemning S. African apartheid.
Let me know when they pass resolutions like that regarding Israeli apartheid and genocide. Until then, you can, with all due respect, STFU.
All citizens of Israel are treated equally. The antithesis of apartheid.You just described apartheid.
The UN speaks for the world and they have not said that Israel is apartheid. They said that S. Africa was apartheid with resolution #1761. They have not said that with Israel. No resolutions. You're shooting blanks again.Your arguments are idiotic, Shazi.
Israel is apartheid and the world recognizes it as apartheid.
Too late, you showed how Israel withholds citizenship of its indigenous population to maintain its apartheid state.All citizens of Israel are treated equally. The antithesis of apartheid.
As you note, the UN speaks for the world.The UN speaks for the world and they have not said that Israel is apartheid.
Frank, I think your exchanging with a BOT.As you note, the UN speaks for the world.
The UN says Israel is apartheid.
HRW notes that the UN's court, the ICJ ruled Israel is apartheid.

World Court Finds Israel Responsible for Apartheid
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an advisory opinion on July 19, 2024, with significant consequences for human rights protections in Palestine under Israel’s 57-year occupation.

Thank you for agreeing that they are not citizens, they do not have the right to vote and that Israel has the absolute right to bestow that right on whomever they want and for whatever reasons they choose. Just like every other sovereign state on the face of the earth.Too late, you showed how Israel withholds citizenship of its indigenous population to maintain its apartheid state.
