    Rafic Hariri was truly a great man.. He funded business start ups, rebuilt Lebanon and funded thousands of scholarships for Lebanese students.. and he was a beloved 'son' of king Abduallah of KSA.. His murder by Assad was a turning point. Now Iran is threatening his son who is also a good man.

    Yup, that's what the media machine is for, that is it's purpose; to push raging hypocrisy as the norm. There is now no appreciable difference bewteen a lie and the truth, you are to accept being lied to as legit.

    The OP states the exact same but uses Iran instead of the USA. I just substituted "USA".... making the point, which obviously goes over your head ... that the USA also supports terrorism.

    There was no reference to China, Russia or any other nation. This does not mean they are not also guilty.

    Since I have now explained the obvious to you ... quit pretending otherwise.

    I do not see a quote of mine backing up your claim "You are the one who hates the USA and loves terrorists." <Mod Edit- Rule 3>

    You are the one trying to apologize for the US support for terrorists by trying to demonize via taking an obviously sarcastic comment as something other than what it was. Then when you are given clarification you continue to make the same nonsense claim feigning disingenuous ignorance.

    LOL ... anyone who presents information that conflicts with the mainstream propaganda you have ingested you label as "anti American".

    Newsflash. Those who cry "terrorism" while supporting a Gov't that supports the 911 terrorist group (Al Qaeda/Al Nusra) are the real "anti-Americans".

    Do you think it is Patriotic for our Gov't to support the group that did 911 ? Is this what "Patriotism" is to you ?

    After the agreement Iran did reduce its hostile attitude toward the U.S. a considerable degree. I'm not familiar with any law binding Iran to cease shipping arms to other nations or any agreement Iran has signed stopping their missile tests. I know of no treaty or agreement preventing any nation from conducting arms sales business around the world. The U.S. and Russia are the world's worst offenders if that were true. I see no value in holding Iran to standards we ourselves don't live up to. That's hypocritical. Also, can anyone really feel Iran reneged on the nuclear agreement when Trump made it so publicly clear he was the one breaking that agreement? How can we assault Iran for underhandedness when we're the ones breaking our word? That's hypocritical too. Iran is no stellar example of moral integrity, but under Trump, neither are we.

    So we should allow Iran to build nukes to sell to terrorists? They are the world's largest supporter of terrorism.

    Pin that on Obama and Clinton. I still don't know why that happened. The American left should never be in a position of power again.

    Did you ever stop to consider that Obama might be worried how the Mullahs might be empowered to reduce human rights even more once they subdued the demonstrators, and he didn't want to inflame the situation more by having the U.S. publicly stand with the demonstrators, who the CIA was telling him were going to lose in the power struggle there. Politics are complex, and we can't always publicly support what we privately hope prevails.

    The US is the biggest supporter of terrorism. They installed a fascist murderous regime when removing the elected president of a secular Iran. They also put Saddam in place to rage a WMD war against their own people and Iran. And that is just what they did to Iran.

    I do pin it on Obama/Hillary but, these two are just puppets of the Establishment - international financiers/Oligarchs, political elite(red and blue) and deep state bureaucracy.

    While you are correct to wonder how this happened....and you are not alone

    Virginia Senator Thanks Syrian President Bashar Al Assad for Saving the Lives of Christians
    Open Letter of U.S. Senator Richard H. Black to President Bashar al-Assad Acknowledges US Support to Terrorists
    https://www.globalresearch.ca/virgi...ad-for-saving-the-lives-of-christians/5384338

    (Do read the rest of Richard's letter) ... then you have Rand Paul, Tulsi Gabbard and the the rest that tried to re-instate the bill (repealed by Obama in 2013) that banned funding of terrorist groups.

    So while you are not alone in questioning WTF- why are we arming Al Qaeda (including with stuff like shoulder launched surface to air missiles - perfect for civilian aircraft) ... do you not also question the utter and almost complete MSM silence on this well known and poorly kept secret/elephant in the room. ?

    This is what I find most troubling... even more troubling than our support of terrorists. In the former case they are funding a proxy war against another nation... in the latter case the war is against the US citizens.

    This complete control of the Oligarchs over the MSM - Left, Right, and Center is beyond troubling. Sure - Obama and Hillary are gone but the Establishment stays the same and nothing has changed except the a few minor talking points intended to keep the raging masses divided while at the same time stimulating them to vote either Red or Blue... not because they even like their own party so much but because the other party is so hated that they will vote for what they dislike in order so that what they dislike even more does not get in.

    At some point the raging masses (hopefully sooner rather than later) are going to figure out that a vote for either red or blue is a vote for their continued sodomization.

    Trump is following the same Establishment plan as was in place when Obama was President. Things look a little different on the outside but, nothing has changed on the inside.

    Genocide is a subset of Ethnic Cleansing.

    https://www.infoplease.com/askeds/ethnic-cleansing
    The Question:
    What's the difference between ethnic cleansing and genocide?

    The Answer:
    Genocide is the systematic destruction of part or all of a specific group of people. Ethnic cleansing involves the removal of a specific group of people from one's midst, whether through genocide or mass expulsions. Both are recent terms for practices dating back to antiquity; "genocide" was coined in 1943, while the more euphemistic "ethnic cleansing" caught on as an English phrase in the 1990s.

    Notice these posters will attack Israel for allegedly "creating" hamas as if to admit hamas is scum, then defend hamas to the hilt when its actions are under discussion. Their goal is to attack Israel no matter what it does or does not do; its enemies are innocent sheep, and all those who disagree with them are paid. I've found the ignore function to be a most effective tool at whittling down the noise from the various non-interesting, non-useful posters to a tolerable level.
