You mean the 40-50K in Gaza or the hundreds of thousands in Iraq?
I went to war in Iraq for a lie that helped destabilize the Middle East on behalf of big oil and big money. The same big oil and big money that gave the Shah of Iran a billion that he took to the USA after leaving the country in a mess with starving folks.
No one in the Middle East wanted this
So why are we doing this?
So because public opinion on Israel is at its lowest and continuing to decline over the genocide of a lot of innocents in Gaza and the non-stop misinformation by the President of Israel pushing us to war in Iraq, Libya and now Iran....we are going to attack Iran so that we can install the son of this former corrupt "King" (Shah) and big oil can grab contracts?
In WWII, we fought for freedom. Now we send soldiers to protect money, resources and to help the rich get richer. Huge difference.
