This is a case where the "both sides are equal" is true.

Absolutely not. The Iranian regime has a lot of blood on its hands, both at home and abroad, but it doesn't even come close to the sheer amount of evil exercised by Israel and America. The worst thing the Ayatollah regime has ever done was support the Assad regime during the Syrian Civil War. That's obviously evil as fuck, but it looks downright cute compared to Israel's literal genocide and America's War on Terror (let alone its even worse historical crimes). In this class of absurd evil, killing a few thousand people is literally a rounding error.

Im assuming youre not counting domestic evils, then.

Like I said, compared to the sheer scale of horror inflicted by these countries' foreign policy, a few thousand dead protesters is a rounding error. What domestic evil committed by any of these countries compares to this?
