Now consider how the world would react if ANYBODY were to bomb America and murder Americans and American children, with the excuse that "Trump is evil and Republicans must be overthrown".

While we all agree with that, nobody would ever consider that would justify the bombing of a (white) nation.

So why is it so easy for some to completely suspend any rational sense of humanity to justify bombing Iran's capital, killing in just one example well over 100 out of only 170 people from just one single girls school out of countless other targets, with the exact same justification?

The answer is chillingly simple: Islamophobia. Hate and division which allows us to see other people as "not people".

If this had anything to do with expelling "evil leaders" then the same justification could be used to bomb the US. The same justification could be used to bomb Israel. But it only applies when the people of the nation are "not like us".

Prime Minister Carney's statement on this matter reeks of racism.
