all those of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC or Sepah) which it has funded to attack innocent Israelis since Israel was founded in 1948. Netanyahu, criminal before his people or not, is still defending Israel. Israel did NOT start the latest Hamas attack. Hamas and its backer, Iran, did. Remember that.

This is a believer war. If Israel defends itself by destroying Iran's MEANS of destroying Israel, that is its right. The defender in this war is not equal to the attacker; Netanyahu is not a madman. It is Khomeini and his Shia who refuse to live and let live with the Jews of the Middle East.

Taking a side against Netanyahu is to take the side of Shia Iran. Is that what you want? You can't use the "both sides" argument in a war that has a clear attacker and defender. The same goes for Ukraine.

No armchair generals of America who have not faced lifelong existential threat -- none of them can have it both ways.
