The radical Islamic revolutionaries were backed heavily by America during the Cold War as a check agaisnt Communism spreading to the Middle East. The current state of the Middle Eastern values is due to American Intervention in the region, because radical regious governments are better than Communist Governments in the eyes of Global Capital.
Like Iran
I was more referring to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan that the USA backed against the Soviets there. In Iran the USA backed the Shah, which was over thrown by the Islamic Revolutionary Front in 1979.
Counterpoint: the Ba'athists in Iraq were also heavily backed by America, even though they were pan-Arab Socialists.
...that were willing to start a war with leaning-towards-Russia Iran
The fact remains that America was supporting a socialist regime in a war against a theocracy - which really contradicts the claim made above that America was always supporting theocracies against left leaning regimes.
Yes.

Sorry, but from that thread alone it seems (to me) that you believe it because it's popular in our most unpopular place called Fediverse. I don't bring it because I'm against you, but to provoke you to dig deeper and grow more clever than me in the end.
I feel like jewish occupation wasn't an occupation in our sense of the word when the already existing population of jews began to grow long before WW1, or WW2. It only became a problem when they were harrassed and harrasing when they grew, when they legitimized their state thanks to other states and their shareholders, when they became an autonomous state to fuck their neighbors over and expand.
You said somewhere in the thread that they could chose any other land. Do native americans have this priviledge to choose the land of their long gone natives? They fight for it in court. Jew nationalist picked them by Tora, and because it was a fucking desert no one cared about that much.
And do you really connect to one side more than another? These dirty throatcutters and rapists may seem to suck just as much as these cleen-shawed indiscriminate bombers. Both kiss their kids returning home, because they killed worthless untermensch. One got close-and-personal and another just dropped there a bomb.
I don't see anything of them being a party to side with. None of them are lefties. Just deranged maneaters.
And I want to be proven wrong after you study the subject, as I'm too stupid to get it, it seems. If you debunk it line by line, you can post it on .ml. I'm drunk and depressed, but I won't delete or edit this comment. Go on, if you'd like to remind me of it. I'm, as a non american, has too much trouble to sympathize with Hamas. To me, they are not representatives of the Gaza and the Bank, and are banking on terrorizing whoever their funders from bigger states find an (economical or ideological) enemy in.
