    The reason that our media have incessantly repeated Iran-backed this, Iran-controlled that for decades is to convince us that Iran is the big bad guy behind the small bad guys terrorizing good guy Israel.

    By now it should be obvious that Israel never was the good guy. Israel is a US-backed genocidal, fascist, settler-colonial state seeking Lebensraum for a Greater Israel. And the supposed “bad guys” have just been trying to survive under threat the of the small imperialist state, Israel, a state which only exists thanks to significant, continued support from the big imperialist state, the US.

    General Wesley Clark 📺 “7 countries in 5 years”: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran

    That is why Iran accurately, metaphorically calls the US the “Great Satan” and Israel the “Small Satan”.
