I've tried to show Coach that the whole idea of Iran being these evil "terrorists" that the world is better without, because FREEDOM, is a simplistic take for boomers like himself. The US has backed many Islamic terror groups and continues to do so. The first image I put up here is from the ending of Rambo III. These mujahideen were "brave freedom fighters"
when they fought the Russians!, Russia of course being an US enemy. These people turned into the Taliban.
Here's Berletic's take on Hamas. I wrote earlier that Bibi is accused of funding Hamas through Qatar prior to Oct 7. Many suspect Oct 7 was allowed to happen so as to have a pretext to ethnically cleanse Palestine and starting a war against Iran.
IRAN - Hamas Demands Iran Stop Striking US Arab Proxies and Why You Shouldn't Be Surprised
▪️BBC calls Iran "key ally," though Iran is an ally to the Palestinian cause, not Hamas itself - Hamas being of the Muslim Brotherhood, a US tool used to encircle and set the stage for this war to begin with;
▪️Hamas' Oct 7, 2023 op into Israel served as pretext for not only Gaza's erasure but for wider war against Iran & its allies;
▪️Iran is striking these Arab nations now because they host US forces & are politically captured by the US serving as extensions of the US;
▪️Hamas is ACTUALLY funded primarily by these US' Arab proxies, especially Qatar - NOT Iran - Qatar hosts the largest US military presence in the region;
▪️I warned about this on Oct 7, 2023, regarding what Hamas really was & what its purpose was actually for and now here we are again;
▪️I say "again" because during the US proxy war on Syria, Hamas actually sided and fought together with US backed terrorists against Syria and its Russian, Iranian, and Hezbollah allies;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_HamasThe Israeli government has been involved in assisting or empowering the Palestinian political and military organization Hamas at various points in its history.[a] This support continued during and in spite of active military hostilities between the two sides.
Israel has supported Hamas to make it impossible for a more moderate or secular Palestinian authority to form which could lead to pressure for a two state or one state solution. Israel simply wants the Palestinians out. The land belongs to them, because G-d said so, a G-d they may not actually believe in.
