Isn't it crazy we're at the point where people are actively cheering on Iran

When did anybody do that? This is a very disingenuous reading of what I said. Nobody is cheering because they think Iran is awesome. They are cheering for Israel getting some kind of consequence, particularly given the contextual irony of the phrase "Israel has the right to defend itself".

Also you do recognize that criticism/dislike of the state of Israel is not antisemitic, right?

Disliking Israel absolutely could be seen as being anti Semitic by the official definition. Its why tend to err on the side of caution and criticise specific policies / actions / the government.

My biggest issue is the fact that people seem to hate the Israeli people alongside the government. Like they decided this whole battle lol

Understanding that Iran retaliating is valid is one thing.

Cheering and celebrating it is another thing entirely. I dont know if these people necessarily have the right motives

Not even close. People actively despise the state of Israel for their repeated violation of international law with seemingly no consequences. One major line is "Israel has the right to defend itself". Well if Israel does -- so does Iran. Also lets not walk out that tired "If you hate Israel you hate Jews" rhetoric because its demonstrably false.

Try use the same logic with Palestinians.

really scary how every day i seem to see one more person i generally considered to be overall ok on here revealing they're perfectly fine with brown people being massacred as long as democrats tell them they shouldnt worry about it

this

wake up sheeple

ofc youll have some anti semites in that group but I know many Jews that despise the Israeli govt and treatment of Palestinians so saying all those people hate Jews is just pure stupidity- a very Benny Shaps take

youll always find a subset of people cheering it on, no one here ITT has done so; the only positions taken by people here is that a defense from Iran is understandable given the circumstances, given Israel assassinated Iranian army staff on foreign soil. Subsets if the Israeli populace are hardly innocent, when it comes to cheering on the genocide of Palestinians. Heck they even have songs with little kids promoting it. If youre going to criticize one side at least extend it over to the other side.

theyll call those people like Norman Finkelstein self hating Jews.

I'm not talking about palestine now am I? Don't change the subject. I generally don't give a shit about the issue so I won't comment on who's wrong or right but the most vocal people I see are people actively hating Israeli people.

So we're going to pretend like Iran was just minding their own business prior to the embassy strike and like they weren't supplying Hamas and Hezbollah?

Of course because Finkelstein is the only person called a self-hating Jew by Zionists /S

This. You cant instigate an attack against a countrys top generals on foreign embassy soil and not expect some form of retaliation.

Of course
You only cares when it's Israeli, not their victims.

A group called Al Quds Committee Detroit held an April 5 protest outside the library along Michigan Avenue in support of Palestinians that featured several speakers. During the protest, some could be heard on a livestream of the rally chanting in Arabic "Al-mout li Amreeka," which means "Death to America," and also "Al-mout li Israel," or "Death to Israel." Such chants are sometimes used in Iran or by Iranian-backed groups to protest U.S. foreign policy. Protests held in Michigan over the years by the Al Quds Committee tend to feature speakers who praise Iran's leaders. It's unclear who uttered the chants Friday.

Boy if you don't take your Twitter using ass.....

Try use the same logic with Palestinians.

Who is blaming the Palestinian people?

The ideal scenario would be for both sides to wipe each other out.

The ideal scenario would be for both sides to wipe each other out. There is no room for religious fanatic nations. It's also the only scenario that secures long term peace in the region, let it escalate amongst themselves.

Or what, tough guy?

Everyone who brought up October 7th

Ideal for who? Certainly not anyone currently living there. Why do people keep posting such psychotic shit

To paraphrase something youre so fond of saying are you suggesting criticizing Hamas is anti-Palestinian?

My biggest issue is the fact that people seem to hate the Israeli people alongside the government. Like they decided this whole battle lol

This is a shockingly myopic view of the proxy war that's been orchestrated by Iran for the last two decades.

In a broad sense, there are two types of nations in the Middle East. Stable nations with functional economies who collaborate with the international community. This is your Saudi Arabias, Israels, Iraqs, Qatars, Omans, ect.

Then there are you broken states run by fundamentalist military juntas or terrorist organizations. They have nearly non-existant economies and their only significant interactions with the international communities is exporting raw resources and taking international aid. This is your Yemens, Syrias, Jordans, ect.

Essentially every stable country hates Iran, and every broken country works with Iran. This is because Iran has been funnelling tons of weapons, ammo, and military advisors into the hands of the absolute worst actors in basically every cobflict zone in the Middle East, including Hezbollah and Hamas, which is directly relevant to Israel. Iran is an enemy to stability and peace in the region. There is simply no other way to put it.

Iran has essentially been firing rockets into Israel for literal decades now. Think of all the Israeli deaths that Iran is directly responsible for over the years. If there was no Iran, there would be no massive Hamas terrorist attack. They would not have had the weapons and training necessary to embolden them so, and the likely explicit backing of Iran behind the scenes. While I fundamentally disagree with Israel's approach to Palestine, it is utterly absurd and hypocritical to look at this situation and say "Well, Israel should have just not provoked Iran!"

Passionate about shit you're only getting info on a need to know basis. Shit is ridiculous.

Holy fucking shit, read this fucking post

You're a hypocrite when it's only allowed to be applied to Israeli.

Who tf even said I'm only applying it to them??? His thread is about Israel... what the fuck

I'm not talking about palestine now am I? Don't change the subject. I generally don't give a shit about the issue so I won't comment on who's wrong or right but the most vocal people I see are people actively hating Israeli people.

The alternative/current situation is far worse.
