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
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
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.
evil genocidal pedophile colony
I'm unfamiliar with what would make Israel a particularly pedophilic country. Can you explain that bit?
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”
i find a lot of queer people have the same issues as feminist white women, “which is how can i make this about me?”
Me when people are cheering on Israel, a country that literally executes innocent children
haven't you heard, Gaza isn't friendly to gays, that's why it's ok to bomb all the people of gaza indiscriminately, including the gays.
me when people like you conveniently start to pretend to care about gay people only when something happens to Israel
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.
Are we confusing governments for the civilians who live under their rule?
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.
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?
