    Just yesterday Piers had on some Mossad agent claiming to be Iranian saying that Iran was conscripting 12 year olds because that was the only defense they had left.

      How does that not translate to “our soldiers are gunning down 12-year-olds” even if it was true? Wonder how many magat military families are proud of their kids for that. Fuckin wild

        Because the audience they are messaging doesn’t care. Their audience is racist bible thumpers that elect people people like Lindsay Graham & Randy Fine. Many of them are sociopaths who think it is fun to kill & torture small things like animals. Heck, Piers has on Rudy Giuliani during a recent episode who at least in one speech I remember tried claiming that Palestinians are taught hate and given guns as soon as they’re born. If that isn’t some wacko shit that should be called out whenever they try to speak then I don’t know what is. Kids aren’t taught to hate people. Heck, parents that try to teach their kids hate usually create kids that just hate their own parents. If people in Iran hate America, it isn’t cause the country is full of radical parents that teach their kids to hate America.
