It's not so much cheering on Iran, but not giving a shit about Israel. Like, Israel just attacked Iran, they reap what they sow.

Eh, one side is committing genocide, has been ethnically cleansing Palestinian, continually attacking neighboring countries, and effectively murdering gay people as well (do you think the 2000 pound bombs make an exception for gay people?) and the other side is a theocracy with all the flaws that come with that. When it comes down to it, Israel is far, far worse than Iran. You can support parties you're critical of.

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.

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.

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.

For me it’s my indigenous ass watching American kids cheer Iran and preach to me about colonialism and genocide.

In this conflict I learned to take no side, except the one of the victims who didn't ask to be involved.

Dystopian dictatorships fighting each other is a good thing, no?

Fuck both Israel and Iran (as in the states)

Two wrongs don't make a right.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think either strikes were good, but I do think that there's a double standard, Israels strikes were fine, but Iran's aren't?

L take dude. I'm cheering the trump elon beef too but I hate both those freaks.

I personally dislike it because civilians will die over it but maybe less than if they didn't fight back and show isreal consequences? Idk I'm just an idiot. But fuck the leaders tho.

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.

ofcourse i do. our cops are racists thugs and i detest them. but in a fight between them and some serial pedophile child murderer, no doubt i will be cheering for the cops and handing them redbull until the pedophile is dead.

and israel is exactly that, they find joy in murdering an innocent family for fun and then block/bomb medical aid so that injured kids die a painful death. if they survive somehow then they do their best to starve them to death.

[–] candyman337@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Crazy that both these countries exist in the way that they do because of the us
