Please don't interpret my criticism of the Iranian regime as sympathy for the Israeli one. While they had a right too respond to the Hamas attack, they long ago exceeded anything like a reasonable response. I don't know if the death and destruction meted out by Israeli forces meets the strict definition of genocide, but the term has been abused as much as "woke" has, rendering it down to an epithet to be tossed at people we don't like. Regardless, whether it is a genocide or not, it makes no difference to the 70,000+ Gazans who have died since this started.
Ironically, while the Iranian government may not be targeting civilians in other countries, the same can't be said about their own people. And, the groups it supports (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis) have no such qualms either.
