When Iranians chants 'death to America, death to Israel' do they also not want actual death to Israel? Would Iran stop chanting if Netanyahoo was replaced or if Israel was better with it's tax dollars? Iran very much literally wants Israel (Iran's little satan) and Israeli's dead. It makes no sense that someone tat calls for the US (the great satan) would only literally mean what they are saying in the second half and as applied to the lesser evil/little satan. I don't base my worldview and understanding on propaganda videos. Iran doesn't allow their own citizens onto the internet because Iran understands the internets propaganda value. I do base it on leaders/religious leaders words and teachings. Iran's beleive the USA is the great satan and needs to be destroyed. Like they also preached Rushdie should be murdered because he wrote a book they didn't like. Stop with the gasslighting 'Iran doesn't mean what they say, what they fund'. Chanting “death to X” is not normal diplomatic speech. Iran has chosen (what some claim but I don't see it) ambiguous speech for 40+ years. They could have changed it to something more direct. They didn't for a reason. I can't even bring myself to type 'death to I__n' in return to highlight how charged that speech is. If I wrote that on an Iran thread, would you consider it just 'political messaging'? In this thread and the other thread I was responding to similar "I’m sure destroying their civilization will help them a lot." comments referring to speach by trump. I highlighted Iran's words/position on the elimination of my society and it's very real impact on me. I kept on topic to the discussion, didn't just interject some sort of talking points/propaganda, and it is not a trope to reflect back the exact words that Iran proudly chants. But ironically it is a trope to interject 'trope' to try to devalue discussion you don't like. |

Trump said the quiet part out loud - what the US and israel have been doing for decades. There's no backing away from this. Yet some people are concerned about vague chants, unbelievable.
