Nah, they hyped up the weapons of mass destruction claim same as everyone.
Meanwhile suspicion is growing that Iraq might actually be actively producing mass weapons of destruction.
The German daily, "Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung" reported recently about a new nuclear programme. Relying on trustworthy reports of the Federal German News Service (BND) from January, the newspaper said that Iraq was buying "nuclear relevant basic chemicals".
Intelligence sources had also found indications that Iraq is continuing with its "Bio-Toxin-Programme" and is "building a mobile B-weapons capacity", the newspaper said.
This could mean that Iraq could achieve the high nuclear status of 1990.
Impressively short considering how dangerous it is to hold the secular actions of the secular Israeli government to scrutiny in America without being called an anti-semite.
You forgot to condemn the Organization for Islamic Cooperation and most Turkic and Muslim countries for their silence on the Uyghur genocide. Muslims don’t care for one another like the West cares for them. They only pretend to care about Palestinians because they are antisemitic.

No its usually money lol. KSA and every surrounding country will happily continue to literally kill people who stand in their way whether it be against Israel or even basic human rights which they deny by denying citizenship unless you're born to a citizen.
Most of the Muslim countries were also caught buying munitions and spyware from Israel too.
Also you shouldn't put "West" into one category. Some countries do care about Muslims to varying degrees. Germany is pretty nice. USA only cares if you've become a citizen, otherwise screw off. France has always said screw off, and loves to exploit Africa well after colonialism ended.
Both UK and France convinced the USA to also be complacent in the Bosnian genocide, something the USA had no political reason to support like how they support Israel. All because UK and France didn't want a Muslim country in Europe.
So Muslim countries and Muslims in general are afraid of China but not the West or India? It seems odd they aren’t speaking up on it but the West is. They are speaking up about everything else but the West mostly isn’t.
Go do that and continue trying to legitimize your ability to speak for everyone.
Imagine if cause I spoke English I spoke for all English speaking people. That would be considered ignorant, racist and likely I'm probably not right.
Also it is the 21st century. You can just google translate stuff you doing this proves no sense of legitimacy so I dunno after you're done maybe jump off that wall too?
then defends all actions by governments and countries who claim to be leftist too
Tankies don't even need that. They just need the country to not be part of NATO and its allies. See their support for Russia, despite Russia being straight-up right-wing authoritarian with no pretence to leftism.
It looks like the closest thing the US is genociding is temporarily separating children from parents to ensure they're actually parents and not traffickers and to confirm their history.
Here's more for those wondering. It doesn't meet genocide definitions. It received major lashback when they did. A federal judge halted it.
What's changed between when genocide was uncovered and now? What makes biden's policy less genocidal than trump's? Or have you always been a genocide denier, even when the concentration camps and their conditions first saw a bunch of coverage?

I just root my understanding in reality and verifiable sauce. Like I did while nobody else followed suit.
At least 5. Arguably the Israel-Gaza situation, Russia- Ukraine, Sudan(also with Russian involvement), China's treatment of the Uyghurs, and Myanmar's treatment of the Rohingya.
Obviously, those screeching loudest about genocide X, are inevitably entirely quiet about genocide Y, while accusing country Z of hypocrisy. I haven't named any sides, but if anyone reads this comment and thinks I'm talking about them, perhaps it's time for some introspection.
Not that whataboutism is particularly relevant for those suffering. But hey, why would anyone let human suffering and nuance get in the way of some political point scoring, real politik or a nice online shouting match.
Meanwhile we walk ever closer towards the precipice of the climate apocalypse. If it's isn't already too late.
Hamas wants to genocide Israel (literally in their founding document) but failing miserably. Absolutely guilty of a war crime or two.
Israel is very likely guilty of a number of war crimes due to proportionality, failure to minimize civilian casualties, and reasonable cause for infrastructure damage and blockades. The fact they have only killed off something like 3% of the population with this much damage and overwhelming force means they aren't committing genocide, or they are doing a pretty poor job of it. Individuals and small groups are likely killing off civilians and should be held to account (public hanging is a good way to do it) but question the broader Israeli goal.
Hamas absolutely guilty of war crime (clear cut), could add genocide if they were winning, Israel unsure as much less clear cut. Could they be - absolutely.
God damn it, why are there people that think that genocide is competition in effectiveness on every damn side?
Primary genocide requirement is intent. And out of five definitions, only one involves outright killing.
Read the convention before arguing about genocide. (1)(2)
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group
