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

(+) Yeah! (+)

It just goes to show they don't really care about Palestine their primary purpose was just hating Jews the whole time.

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.

Nah, they probably think a country is committing genocide with impunity and another evil country that got attacked by the genociders is retaliating, and that's why they're cheering. Because Israel is being treated normally for once. When you attack another country, you typically get attacked back.

They could hate Jews, but I don't think that's the most obvious or likely explanation here.

Those people need to be deported asap

Does that include far right US politicians cheering for the destruction of Palestine?

Maybe these people thought it was in defense of Palestine?

That whole area of the world has been a fucking mess for thousands of years. Wish we'd just stay out of it instead of making it worse.

think i still have some old 261ers tagged as Iran simps...

Wtf? What in the world

Graham described the conflict as a religious war and called on the Israelis to level the place.

Gaza is going to look like Tokyo and Berlin at the end of world war two when this is over. And if it doesnt look that way, Israel made a mistake, he told Fox News.

That was a sentiment echoed by another Republican senator, Tom Cotton.

As far as Im concerned, Israel can bounce the rubble in Gaza. Anything that happens in Gaza is the responsibility of Hamas, he told Fox News Sunday in reference to a warning by Winston Churchill about the dangers of the nuclear arms race leading to a war that will make the rubble bounce.

Senator Marco Rubio called for Israel to respond disproportionately.

The Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, told a campaign rally in Iowa that one way or another Palestinians were all complicit in Hamass crimes.

If you look at how they behave, not all of them are Hamas, but they are all antisemitic, he said.

Max Miller called on the Biden administration to get out of Israels way and to let Israel do what it needs to do best. He said there should be no rules of engagement.

It could just be them hating Israeli's rather than Jewish people as a whole.

Strangely leaving out the undisputed fact that Iran is the primary backers of hamas

UNFUN FACT!

Iran is closer than ever to having nukes, thanks to Donald Trump.

At this point, given their other actions as a group, they absolutely do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Strangely leaving out the undisputed fact Bibi himself let funding flow to an obvious terrorist organization to keep the Palestinians divided.

Bro, I explicitly called Iran an evil country. They're not the good guys, what do you want?

Or that Iran is the #1 proponent of the sanctity of embassies and consulates.
No, divert your lying eyes from the fact they had a clown car of Islamic Revolutionary Guard members in a "civilian" building near the border with Israel!
Just remember it was still a consulate building on paper, no matter what it was being used for in reality, and that Iran values the sanctity of consulates and embassies more than any other nation in the history of Earth!
They would NEVER attack one themselves as long as you ignore history before 1981

These people are absolute fucking lunatics

If youre cheering on Iran, you are not a progressive. Youre an anti-Semite.

Here -- I'll help you understand with something I said earlier!

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.

Yea thats not why I pointed out that they fund hamas.

I pointed it out because your implication that Iran was fairly retaliating from an unprovoked attack.

And I said that people are happy because Israel is being treated as other countries would

No, but if youre willing to overlook - lets be honest, whitewash - Irans repeated violations of international law and abysmal human rights record because Israel Bad, then you definitely get a sideeye from me.

Says the one overlooking the fact that Israel is currently committing a genocide in Gaza.

People are happy some Jordanians got killed and a 7 year girl was put in the hospital.

What a bunch of sick freaks.

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?
