Iran had no problem recently killing thousands of their own citizens for speaking out against the regime. Israel and Iran are both evil regimes.
A 2024 UN report classified Iran's 1981–1982 massacres of political/religious dissidents as genocide and crimes against humanity, aimed at purifying society.
Key Historical and Current Context:
1981–1982 Massacres: Initiated by the Cultural Revolution, this purge of non-Islamic elements resulted in thousands of deaths and was categorized by the UN Special Rapporteur as genocide.
Iranian militias also conducted ethnic cleansing in Syria.
Persians look down up on the Arabs and both Arabs and Persians look down upon the Palestinians.
Both of these things can be true at once, Israel is a evil country hostile to its neighbors and Iran is a evil country hostile to it's neighbors.
