And Israel, on the other hand, is a paradox that doesn’t add up.
They claim to revive ancient Jewish traditions, but the state's run by globalist-friendly leftists who larp tradition while pushing progressivism.
They wave the Torah in one hand and wave rainbow flags with the other.
No joke: there are Israelis who legit admire Stalin — *Stalin* — just because he helped in WWII.
How is that a 'Jewish homeland'?
It’s neither traditional nor modern, just a patchwork of narratives slapped together for political convenience.
Iran, for all its flaws, at least has a coherent national identity tied to its ancient soul.
But nah, for some people, Israel = the right-wing theocratic traditionalist utopia.
Oh yeah, and Iran and Israel were allies not that long ago. Imagine explaining that to a Reddit-brained geopolitics nerd.
