    Really, you’d rather support Iran, a nation where women are beaten and killed for not covering themselves completely? How is Israel the blight in the region, besides being the easy target completely surrounded by countries that hate it for being different aka not Muslim and being a democracy that supports LGBTQ?

      Because Israel is an apartheid, settler colonial nation in the middle of an ethnic cleansing campaign and Iran isn’t.

          It’s been called an apartheid state by multiple NGO’s, South Africa, and UN investigators. This includes Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Yesh Din, and B’Tselem.

          Amnesty international wrote a while report on it. To summarize they keep them segregated and fragmented, and have a bunch of laws and policies to restrict movement of travel, where they can live, citizenship, preventing it through marriage, where they can drive and things like that Meanwhile, they have laws characterizing Israel as a Jewish state, the Right of Return for Jewish people, expanding settlements for Jewish people in the West Bank, and it goes on. The evidence is very extensive.
