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.
America literally executes Down’s people.
So now what? We’re supposed to cheer on Israel, who literally starves children, because sometimes Iran does things as bad as we do?
Twist your brain more into a pretzel, why don’t you.
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.
Yeah, when a country persecutes queer people they lose the right to defend themselves from countries building weapons caches in their boarders. Then using those caches to blow up civilians.
That’s why I’m in favour of bombing London and Florida.
Do you see how fucking stupid you are?
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?
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.
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.
Ay yes, Iran, so progressive
Yes this is what the Iranian government y’all god-damn mental broads are cheering on does
Disgusting
The issue is that you’re acting as if the people who were always in favour of the Iranian government wouldn’t have cheered anyways, and that people just turned “pro iran” after they bombed Israel, when that is clearly not the case.
You are going to see people who are in favour of the Iranian government cheer on, but that doesn’t mean that they are people who weren’t in favour of the Iranian regime suddenly turned pro Iranian government.
What about Israel, a country that literally executes an entire nation of people, the Palestinians?
yeah yeah let’s go war! morons. USA executes poor people, gay or not. how is that for equality and representation?
In this conflict I learned to take no side, except the one of the victims who didn’t ask to be involved.
