    Thanks much better context, the rest is just… true so I was confused on if it’s a dude calling for the death of Israel or just a dude against zionistic imperialistic expansion of Israel into his country who is rightfully pissed.

    But yeah, rabid dog pretty normal metaphor so I would give them the benefit of the doubt, not like weird hyper specific no one else would use that type metaphors/dog whistles/etc.

      Anytime. Just in case clarification helps, Khamenei is the supreme leader of Iran, and Iran and Israel do not share a border.

        Neither do Britain and India… or Britain and Palestine… nor… a lot of places imperialism has sprawled to. To assume they stop the genocide at Palestine is silly.

          I see no reason to subscribe to this theory.

          Edit: and you were taking about expansion, not genocide…

            I mean, the genocide is for expansion. They want Palestinians dead to take their land. There are forms of expansion other than occupying land: colonies and such, as I doubt they do actually expand physically that far.
