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
Did you know you can do both? Cheer the dick holes getting bombed by the dick holes? True story. Cheering dick holes is bad mmmkay.
Same when people started calling Hamas “freedom fighters”.
I refuse to believe these people are really tbh. Or they’re just mentally deranged vocal minority
Does it matter if it’s Iran? They are still the victims here. Israel is downright genocidal, and won’t stop in Iran!
“Lesser-evilism for me but not for thee”
something something Palestine something something something.
Iran has multiple orders of magnitude on its hands - gay or otherwise - than any country that supports Israel.
If you can understand why people cheered on the British Empire during World War Two - even though it was one of the most brutal, genocidal entities in history - but can’t understand why people would critically support Iran now, you are just a white supremacist.
Are we confusing governments for the civilians who live under their rule?
People are cheering on Iran out of pure spite, not out of genuine support for Iran.
The American people are tired of our government spending out tax dollars to support a genocide and then gaslighting us about it when we call them out. They are also persecuting dissenters on it. This has happened under both Biden and Trump, though Trump has leaned more on the persecution. We are fucking sick of it.
There is satisfaction in seeing someone stand up to genocidal Israel, even if the party doing so is despicable in their own right. I think people would greatly prefer getting behind a western democracy taking a stand, but we’re at a point where people will take what they can get. Especially with it being clear that the aforementioned western democracies aren’t going to do shit against genocidal Israel.
To non Americans, watching Americans trying to lead the charge against genocide, colonialism and unjust wars is a clown show to me. Especially because it will all be forgotten the next time the U.S invades another country. I’m not against any of these ideas, I just want Americans to shut it and fix their own shit right now

Speak for yourself. Iran has consistently been politically, diplomatically, economically and morally opposed to the Zionist entity since before I was born. I wish westerners had a shred of the empathy towards Palestinians that they pretend to have for gays in scary brown people countries when said countries oppose US interests. If you care so much about LGBT rights, go and fucking join an org in your home country, I’m sure you have plenty of far-right people committing hate crime against LGBT in your country, if not outright legalising it in the government.
Stop pointing fingers and start uniting.
I haven’t seen much cheering on World but I imagine elsewhere those tankie triad fucks are having a fit over the Isreali strikes.
Dystopian dictatorships fighting each other is a good thing, no?
Fuck both Israel and Iran (as in the states)
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.
Supporting Iran limits the ability of Israel to commit to their genocide, support Israel only enhances their capability to genocide and supporting neither only benefits Israel which make use of their partnership with the west
Hate Iran all you want, despise them, that’s fine, but we need to pick anything at this point when the alternative is Israel
It might be better for the gays in Israel, but what about the gays in Palestine, or simply the people within Gaza?
You can reform a state to treat gay people like humans, you can’t reform a genocidal state
Was Germany a Genocidal State 80 years ago? Have they reformed? Did we do it, or did they reform themselves?
Supporting the lesser of two evils is how we ended up in this mess. A vote for the lesser evil is still a vote for evil.
It’s okay to condemn both, we don’t need to support one side over the other.
Germany is a pretty bad example, they were completely dismantled and rebuilt after WWII.
No, the people in germany remained the same and lots of nazis went on working for the government.
Was Germany a Genocidal State 80 years ago?
Yes
Have they reformed?
No, they’re overwhelmingly supporting Isntreal’s genocide of Palestinians
Did we do it, or did they reform themselves?
They famously were defeated in a war after losing millions of soldiers thanks to the Soviet Union
Supporting the lesser of two evils is how we ended up in this mess
No, the west consistently supported the greatest evil: the zionist entity. Iran was well in its path towards progressivism in the 50s-60s, secularism and democratic reform were popular under Mosaddegh, and the west famously toppled their government through economic and less tasteful means because the UK wanted to keep exploiting Iranians for cheap oil.
The western allies in World War Two were a lesser evil though (and more evil than modern Iran)! Would you have refused to support them against the Nazis?
I personally would wait for Iran to stop beating women to death for not dressing a certain way before I defend them, but that’s just my principles.
Again with this? Women in Iran don’t get beaten up for not covering their hair. Many don’t and go by their daily lives.

One genocides a subjugated population, the other exterminates queer folks
Just let them have their squabble, walk away, do not touch, discourage others from approaching, bad time for all
America needs to back off and not get involved
America needs to back off and not get involved
Luckily our commander in chief is already busy fighting wars against Canada, Greenland, Panama, and the United States.
Israel has exterminated more queer people in the last month than Iran in the last twenty years.
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?
Coverage has been pretty even handed by the news outlets I use, not so much from the lemmings gallery.
