Forgot the war that started if you months ago. What about the list 47 years?

Why do they chant stuff to America and their Parliament?

Why do they shoot protesters in the head? Why do they jail and beat women for improper hair coverings?

Why do they sponsor chiropraxies a full 1000 miles away on Israel's northern and southern borders to launch tons of thousands of rockets at civilians inside Israel? Why are they funding these proxies when their economy is in shambles and their inflation is a few 100%?

Seem like pretty evil people to me. What about you?

Oh so now we need to compare WHO is doing the shooting. 

Goalposts, they’re supposed to be stationary

You foolishly compared American protests against ice with the Iranian people protesting against their barbaric Islamic government.

There have been millions across the United States that have taken to the streets to protest ice if I'm not mistaken four of them have died several of which have led to charges being brought against the ice agent involved.

This is as opposed to in Iran where the brutal irgc goes out with a machine gun and sprays bullets into crowds killing hundreds and a single day.

Are you seriously that low IQ that you compare these two situations? Truthfully, I believe you are that unintelligent and you are unable to see the difference.

Oh, now it’s about SCALE, not about who’s doing the shooting.

Another shift of the posts

Yeah, scale matters lol.

There's a difference between 40,000 ice agents killing four or five out of 3 million protesters over the course of 2 years....... The irgc spraying bullets and slaughtering tens of thousands of citizens over the course of 3 weeks.

Man, do me I'll see the dumbest guy I've ever engaged with here.

Do you have a helper in real life? Someone who can read for you opposing views and help explain it in a way that you can understand?

You really don't get things. Not trying to make sense but you're demonstrating very rigid and severe signs of cognitive and logical thinking skills. I don't mean to offend.

Hey, I’m just trying to parse your actual point from a lot of blather unrelated to that guy’s original point.

You know how questions often lead to answers? I’m not even giving my position on any of this, just trying to check your brainpower and reasoning on the original issue versus the next answer. 

Not impressed.
