You don’t need to sit there and try to decide whether 12,000 people murdered in Iran by the regime is accurate or not. All you have to know is that the regime itself has admitted to killing thousands — something they have never admitted to doing in such a short period of time, ever. And it is a historical fact that they always undercount. Always. So if you still want to engage in atrocity denial after the regime itself has admitted to it; after they have broadcast images on state TV saying that the dead were “ordinary Iranians” (not Mossad agents, as they usually claim); after they have told parents to keep their sons and daughters at home — then you are simply a horrible person who hates the United States and Israel so much that it is clouding your judgment and leading you to hurt Iranians who are just fighting for their freedom. Iranians who have never met a Mossad agent or intelligence officer. Iranians who have never communicated with a CIA agent or officer. People who were simply sick and tired of living under the regime’s suffocating rule and tried to do something about it. And to be clear, I don’t care that you hate the United States and Israel — but I do care that you are allowing that hatred to cloud your judgment in this case. And I have consistently advocated against military intervention in Iran. I am anti-monarchist, and I have never engaged in atrocity denial. So if you’re one of the people sitting there mocking the murder of Iranians by the regime, or trying to come up with excuses for why it happened, you can’t use any of these things against me to diminish what I’m telling you.
