Monotheism at war with itself

Posted

To the editor:

This is what happens when three despot-led countries tee off in a cauldron of international violence.

No compromise. No intelligence. No consideration for humanity. Just one threat and escalating military action after another with no end in sight.

Netanyahu, Trump, Khamenei.

Three strumpets walking the streets at night looking for new clients to make them rich and famous. Three clowns in a three-ring circus entertaining their customers for a very high price. Three politicians unwilling to return power to the people and do what is right for the rising generations.

The story of this war will make good constitutional curriculum for any country that loves peace, citizen participation, morals, ethics, integrity, science, children, education, public health, small business and religious observance.

In other words, not Israel, not the United States and not Iran.

    Your commentary is entirely inaccurate. There is no comparison between Netanyahu, Trump, and Ali Khamenei, who, thanks to Israel and the United States, is currently in the abode of the dead, Jahannam.

    Khamenei has sworn death upon Israel and the United States.

    He brought destruction upon himself and his country, Iran.

    Peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, not fanaticism and hatred.

    Peace is not the way of the despots.

    Netanyahu and Trump are not despots.

    The United States and Israel have paused military actions against Iran for a two-week period in the hope of reaching a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

    If Iran genuinely wants peace, it will negotiate a peaceful solution to the current situation.

    Hopefully, Iran’s leadership will wisely choose peace!

    Iran was twice attacked by the U.S. while negotiating with them. "Word Man" might try using words that make statements that have some basis in reality.

    @Kimball Shinkoskey - You nailed it! Three clowns who derived their power from religious zealots.

    Trump from Evangelical Christians

    Netanyahu from Ultra Orthodox Jews

    Iranian "supreme leaders" from Islamic extremists

    Biden was a fool to support Netanyahu, a war criminal. Trump is an even bigger fool to have joined in Netanyahu's genocidal campaigns. If the US continues to fight Israel's wars, we will never be at peace.

    What kind of sick individual calls the Pope "weak" and "terrible", posts an image of himself as Jesus and sends a message that he will destroy an entire civilization on Easter Day? Donald Trump, who else!
