    “You shouldn’t be cheering either of them” is the whole point of the post. If I saw people suddenly being pro-Israel, the meme would be about them. I only saw people cheering Iran, hence the meme.

      is the whole point

      Dissenting against supporters of Iran doesn’t automatically assume the position of dissenters against Israel. Supporters of Israel could also share that sentiment.

      Let’s not forget that Israel fired at Iran first this go around

        The Israel stans are gone buddy, at least from the places I personally frequent. Iran stans are present and accounted for, see how controversial this post has become.

        If I saw people suddenly become pro-Israel and start full throatedly defend that country, the meme I posted would reflect that.

          Point me at these “Iran stans” please. All I see are people that make a distinction between the genocidal supremacist colonial apartheid regime and a repressive theocratic dictatorship (which lest we forget got power thanks to US meddling) that for all its flaws is helping the resistance against a genocide and people whose analysis starts and stops at “both sides bad”.
