Let's face it Iran is indiscriminatly hitting Israeli civilians targets including schools using cluster bombs.....

[mids2019]

Iran is firing missiles into heavily populated Israeli towns and have abandoned the pretence of targeting anything military.....this is just pure terrorism and does make you think what would happen if Iran did manage to develop a nuclear weapon.

Just hoping more of the missile launch sites can be taken out and this terrorist regime falls.

It’s not ‘plain untrue’, that can’t be said. Yes it’s uncertain and perhaps everyone will disclaimer who they think the biggest exporter of terror is with an imo

In fact your ‘plain untrue’ is just as certain as the opposite. So that can’t stand either.

As for the bolded part if I could give refuge to a woman or girl who was about to have acid thrown in her face, raped until near death or eyes or other bodily parts gouged out then yes I’ll put the kettle on rn, she can sit at my table.

Even better the leaders responsible for it are gone and she gets to enjoy the freedom she wants in Iran. I just saw a very moving video from an Iranian photojournalist explaining what she and others have endured, it’s horrendous.

Because people are not very bright and there is a severe lack of joined up thinking. The same people cheering on this war (often, but not always right wing) are often the very same people who are the most anti immigration (right wing).

Not many scientists on here!

That makes absolutely no sense @EasternStandard.

In what way? What’s the problem for you

This kind of stuff just glosses past the brutality of 47 years.

It's highlighting the likely impact of the war - an increase of violence in Iran as the regime attempts to tighten its grip, followed by a humanitarian crisis, followed by a greater surge of people crossing into Europe.

'All think tanks serve the aims of whomever funds them'

This 100%.
I was just googling their funding. Lots of funding from Western/Western allied governments, including Qatar, US government grants and people such as the Bill Gates. What a surprise! Also unsurprising that Maloney goes from working for a massive oil company to working for a think tank that tends to follow Big Oil's preferences. I wonder how she managed to get the job.

Quite right
and a pp stating as none of us on here support the IRGC on here we can therefore all agree the incorrect statement being discussed is therefore fine to stand feeds into that hate.
and no. The poster has not proved the remark as accurate even once.
If a post is called out as Inaccurate why not admit that.
Why not take it down
Better to not feed the hate

You have completely missed the point yet again. I'm not sure if you do it deliberately or if you genuinely misunderstand repeatedly.

Which statement are you referring to?

Same to you.

This kind of stuff just glosses past the brutality of the Israelis in Gaza.

See what I did there?

Any greater surge of people crossing into Europe will be down to the US and Israel bombing them.
The humanitarian impact of that is already clear to see.

Today RTT

Yes there’s a few. Most agree on major sponsors of terrorism if not the biggest.

Plus the top exporter line.. hard to argue against.

Exactly. It's tragic.

This doesn’t reflect what I said in my post at all.

Because no one has said what is in your post.

But Hitchens Razor is not......

Ahhh. I see :-)

Yeah, straight to funding for me too. I ain't that keen on them in general. And if there are so many people being paid to think about this stuff, why does stuff like this keep happening ? But hey, there are some that do well researched articles.

Yes they have
suggest again
RTT
im posting based on past comments. I can’t be answerable if you can’t see them I’m afraid.

I know the past posts it’s been going on for some time, your post doesn’t reflect what was said.

I’m not going around in circles here Eastern
If you cant see it that’s not my concern or responsibility because it’s not like the posts referred to were that long ago
If I was, however, referring to something posted days ago I’d happily paste it for you to help.

Having been part of the discussion I can see what you posted didn’t match what anyone else was saying.

As for not going round in circles and moving on from the biggest / major discussion I don’t see why everyone can’t agree on the IRGC being brutal and exporters of terror. That’s enough to base a discussion on and it can move forward.
