Which is hilarious because for decades the party line has been to not allow the Iranians because they’re not rational. They still aren’t but neither is Israel.
Israel has right extremists in its government but it’s still a democracy with functioning justice and free elections, as opposed to Iran. Not very different from the USA, who also had governments destroying the lives of millions of people, but it’s still a (flawed) democracy.
Even when ethnic cleansing isn’t actively going on, it’s not a democratic state if any group of people native to the land are banned from voting, can’t travel freely, and have a separate justice system that applies only to them. Iran wouldn’t have been in the state it’s in if the US hadn’t staged a coup there because they didn’t like the leftist leader people democratically elected.
Here’s what everyone should be worried about given this talk:
Israel has nuclear weapons, and the U.S. has worked hard to ensure opposing countries like Iran would not be able to have them.
And now Israel’s government is under the thumb of a bunch of genocidal maniacs who don’t give a shit about anything.
I’m thinking we all ought to invest in civil defense, or have some kind of plan B.

Nobody’s free until everyone is free. Apartheid governments are not functioning democracies.
And war crimes. Don’t forget the long history of war crimes.
That’s what my last sentence implied.
