I don't think people are cheering on Iran, I think they're cheering for Israel to be on the receiving side of violence for once.

If a country that was more progressive than the US (not hard to find one) started bombing the shit out of New York City, would you be like “well, they deserve it for their transphobia”?

Do you realize that Orthodox Jews consider women to be inferior to men? Like, they won’t even shake a woman’s hand.

Sacha Baron Cohen, Zionist shithead though he is, actually got chased down the street in Israel by an angry mob for playing his flamboyant gay character Bruno. He had to yell “I’m a Jew I’m a Jew” to keep from getting the shit kicked out of him.

Israel is literally committing genocide RIGHT NOW. I’m sure there are plenty of gay, trans, nonbinary Palestinians who have head their limbs blown off, if that’s really what upsets you.

The genocide apologism is so obvious it’s sad. You point to one issue that will make liberals go “oh no, scary Muslims!” and you run with that. Fix your heart.

You guys also realize gay people in Gaza are also persecuted, right?

Purity politics needs to end. Some of you MFs need to learn strategy, and play a game like Civ. If Iran harasses Israel, bully for us. Two of the worst people we know are now fighting, we should celebrate this reprieve.

Exactly. It's possible to see a fight between two drunk idiots and just hope that they both get hurt and nobody else does.

We don't have to take sides unless you know one of them personally.

And I don't know either of these cunts.

It’s called critical support. I can support both Iran’s self-defense from genocidal maniacs while simultaneously criticizing them for their human rights abuses. It’s something that people with a functioning brain can do - hold two ideas in their head at once.

Besides, Israel has killed more gay people in the last year just through sheer numbers of the people they’ve exterminated than Iran has ever.

Two ideas? In this economy?

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?

What about Israel, a country that literally executes an entire nation of people, the Palestinians?

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago (5 children)

What about not cheering for either one? Or just fuckin stop with the immediate what abouts?

No one is cheering for "Iran". They are cheering for a country standing up for itself against an aggressive colonizing force bent on expansionism through violent actions currently engaged in unwarranted genocide.

A country which happens to be Iran, another perpetuator of genocides

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

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.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (9 children)

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.
