Iran’s Revolutionary Guards vowed on Sunday to target ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war with ‘Israel’ and the United States continues.

“If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force,” said the Guards on their website Sepah News.

    Well, the official number from the Iranian government is a little over three thousand. Is that an acceptable number of your own citizens to mow down during a protest?

    If so, where is the cutoff where you have mowed down enough of your own citizens where it’s unacceptable?

    If not, why does it even matter, as we both agree they wontonly killed an unacceptable number of their own citizens, whether than number is three thousand or forty thousand?

            I didn’t say we did. I, in fact, agreed we didn’t. I asked what the numbers would have to be in order for them to not be a moral tragedy, and you responded that “it doesn’t matter because we don’t have the numbers.”

            I already agreed we didn’t have the numbers. We can estimate, but that we don’t have them is certainly a fact. I’m agreeing with you.

            So, my question was, absent any sure numbers, what would be an acceptable number of your own citizens to mow down at a protest? And then, do you think it likely that number was exceeded?
