Just checking—you feel the United States is full of religious zealots? And these zealots are conducting this war? You think Israel is fighting because of religion?Keep in mind there are Arab citizens in Israel as well, including Christians and other faiths. Which religion are they fighting under? Is Israel not responsible for defending all of its citizens from being annihilated (which Iran openly supports)?
Yes, there are Evangelicals in the USA that feel that Israel must be defended at all costs because of biblical interpretation. Catholics do not share that viewpoint as they differentiate the “people of Israel” vs the modern 1947 State of borders and country.
Let’s remember it’s not called Iran. It’s the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic Republic has funded IEDs, vests, vehicle borne delivery, etc. They may not have done vests directly, but definitely by proxy. You cannot by default sidestep the religious context that Iran operates under.
Persia was not this way.
