That's right. Hosting military bases of the overlords that impose crippling sanctions that impoverish a nation on false premises is quite far away from a neutral country.
I didn't hear the neighbouring countries complain when Iran got attacked economically/financially and then later military.
They’ve given mixed messages. You see the new talking points being echoed down thread [1].
> Iran has been quite conscientious about taking responsibility
There is no singular Iran. The President apologized. Then the IRGC hit more targets in neutral nations. (Again, unless we use the new definition of neutrality which means everyone is an enemy.)
Here's (1) a reference from a relatively credible source with a lot of context. There's a section dedicated to the number you're looking for.
Worth adding that the regime claims around 3000 were killed while not allowing any independent investigation and also completely blocking the internet for days and arresting reporters. Mighty suspicious indeed.
But that is besides my point. Even if we go with the regime's number and compare it with the casualties of the war (2), you can get a picture of the scale of the massacre compared to an actual war against US freakin army!
Leaving the 'aryan' and 'white' bit aside there are mountains of things that are common between Indians and Iranians -- the system of classical music, musical instruments, mythological characters, food, and of course language.
I'd appreciate if you didn't spam the same link all over my comments, once is enough. And as for "forensic architecture", please visit their website and go over who these people are - especially the Palestinians from Ramallah and self proclaimed "activists". This is by no means an unbiased organization.
Then don't go asking for a report in all of your comments on this page where you have, once is enough.
Forensic Architecture is one of the most reputed organizations for this line of work.
Their reports are read with great deal of respect here on HN and they cover more than this conflict. If they don't count as credible and competent, nothing will satisfy you -- the moral equivalent of covering one's eyes and ears.
So I will appreciate if you stop this sham of yours of asking for a citation.
While you are at it, do better than ad hominem. I am still waiting to hear an argument about the content of the extensive and methodical report.
For HN audience, the report was discussed on HN here
"Can't say too much, but I'm one of the world's biggest experts on the Middle East, and basically everyone accusing Israel of genocide (so all the NGOs, the journalists, all these other people with their lying eyes) is wrong. And Forensic Architecture are basically shills (one of their team members comes from Muslamistan, need I say more)."
Do you guys hear yourselves? Your posts being flagged all over should give you an indication of how it sounds.
> Then don't go asking for a report in all of your comments
Your link that you posted everywhere was to a single comment before you edited it (on all comments!) to point to something else. So not only did I not ask for a report, but you can't even be consistent with your own spam.
The links that I posted as a reply to you, are all there, unedited, repeated as you noted and as a response to you asking HN members for reports of IDF targeting civilians.
For someone claiming low effort, you still haven't done any better than ad hominem about the report.
I have wasted more time on you than you deserve. So that's it from me to you.
If US takes down their democracy and downs their domestic passenger jets, fight a proxy war with chemical weapons through Saddam Hussein that alone kills 20~30 thousand, no country is going to respond to that with flowers in their hair.
Loved your link, but I doubt it is going to change anyone who thinks Israel and US are doing the god's work here.

Not exactly the behaviour of a fair neighbour.
