Nobody is out there crowing about the superiority of Iran. Or how Iran is sooooooo great.
It's just schadenfreude. It's a quadruple heroin overdose of schadenfreude directly in our veins. We've screamed and cried and protested and called reps and done everything we could for 2 years while watching a genocide live on TV. For 2 years.
It's very cathartic to see that evil genocidal pedophile colony get its shit rocked. I cheered watching a hypersonic missile hit the Israeli Pentagon and I'll keep cheering.
Israel hit first. They called it preemptive but it was premeditated. Big difference. They punched above their weight now the hit dog is hollering. The very moment Israel sues for peace and comes to the table with concessions I'll support the violence coming to a negotiated end. And not a moment before. Until then. Pound them into fucking sand. Twist the goddamn knife.
Chump can get involved if he wants but I won't go die for Israel. Not for all the money held by the Forbes 500. If they call a draft I'll dodge it.
Iran has the right to defend itself.
Me when a guy in a white supremacist administration makes a nazi salute and the ADL goes "no, it wasn't"
Me when an interest group which for decades has cried out against genocide and targeted ethno-religious persecution actively and deliberately proclaims it is going to eliminate an entire ethno-religious group from a large area of land
Me when people are defending that
Is the Iran regime bad? Yes. Are they colonial outpost that is actively committing genocide? No. Are the Iranian people settlers like the Israelis? No.
Who is dragging the US into war with Iran and potentially WW3? Israel.
Does this help maybe?
Because the opposite side is Israel, a country that literally executes medics and children
That doesn't mean you have to support Iran, a country that literally executes women and gay people.
In this conflict I learned to take no side, except the one of the victims who didn't ask to be involved.
Are we confusing governments for the civilians who live under their rule?
I love Iran's queers and feminists. I hope they come out of this conflict better off than they went in.
who is cheering them on? im fairly displeased with this whole 'US getting sucked into a regional war because of Israel ' situation
For me it’s my indigenous ass watching American kids cheer Iran and preach to me about colonialism and genocide.
I hope they both lose.
So then what we have here is a conflict between unrepentant, even gleeful genociders, and a bigoted theocratic terrorist state... I mean. They're the same picture.
You're trying to whatabout the unjustifiable barbarism of the Israeli state Zionists who are hell bent on tying practicing Jews and the diaspora to their psycopathic crimes against humanity. Whether you realize it or not.
Crazy that both these countries exist in the way that they do because of the us
Genocide executioners vs LBGTQ haters...
Why show support for either?
Two wrongs don't make a right.
