Does it matter if it's Iran? They are still the victims here. Israel is downright genocidal, and won't stop in Iran!
Oh no, Iran, which tortures atheists, executes LGBT people, and beats women to death had something bad happen to them, poor babies -🤡
Oh damn their domestic policy harms innocent civilians, so therefore bombing innocent civilians compeltely unprovoked is justfied 🤡
You either don't know what's been going on, or you do and don't care. Either way, I don't see the substance of interacting with you further.
Oh we're quoting the IAEA?
-Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

Very nice point, it's almost like the meme is pointing out neither state is "the good guy", and nobody should be rooting for either of them.
Up until two days ago, I thought it was pretty well established that Iran was an evil state that oppresses its citizens and funds terror groups. If tomorrow a bunch of people started talking about how green the sky is, you'd see a distinct uptick in how often I post about how the sky is blue.
Pointing out Iran is an evil state after people start acting like it isn't is not an agenda. Spam replying my comments in multiple subthreads where you aren't replied to kinda feels like a really weird one though. Note added.
You are clearly too immature to be here. Take a break.
Are you forgetting to switch between your sockpuppets? Or just intentionally spamming me with the same hours old account XD
I'm not allowed to be concerned with Israel fucking around with nuclear reactors and potentially creating a cherbobyl level meltdown illegally bombing them because Iran is a "bad guy"?
What is this "good guy" "bad guy" politics you're talking about?
I'm not 3 you can use a bigger word.
I think the better way to analyze this situation is as "attacker" and "defender".
Someone is starting a war, violating an international border, and instigating the first attacks. Who is it?
that is kind of where I am I feel badly for the families affected who are like us However, I have no sympathy for the governments of Iran and Israel Seriously - they are not my business. HOWEVER I support the refugees entering my community.
I see you've given up pretending you don't just support Israel.
Replying to and deliberately misinterpreting every comment someone makes is not the sign of a healthy mind.
Then you should stop doing it
this agreement is a farce. Look what happened to Ukraine the moment they signed their nuke rights away.
Israel has nukes, has never signed the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty, won't allow IAEA to monitor them, and repeatedly ignores a 1981 UN SC resolution on the matter.
Iran, horrible theocracy as it is, has signed the NPT and has been actually engaging with the international community, even though it is being ratfucked on every turn. Basically, they had a deal with the West, that was guaranteeing it would not develop nuclear weapons, that Israel's biggest ally, the USA, just unilaterally cancelled a few years ago.
Weirdly enough, the actually horrible repressive theocracy has been behaving as a rational actor. And it is absolutely fair to say that it's "misbehaving" in the nuclear issue is ...our fault. We had a deal. We had every chance to normalize. We tore up the deal. And now our ally, that is completely unaccountable, has broken every bit of international law and is an entirely bad faith actor in the region, is attacking them.
I'm not cheering for the Iranian government. I'm more terrified for the lives of the brave progressive Iranian youths who stand up to the mullas and are now being bombed. But, my brother in Lemmy, the Iranian regime are not the crazies here.
You mean that Iran doesn't follow the treaty that TRUMP BROKE?
No, I actually mean that building nuclear weapons is a very clear provocation to your enemies. Previous kid was arguing that Israel started bombing Iran for no reason. Building nukes is a pretty compelling reason to bomb a country from a realpolitik standpoint.
My overall point is that both states are awful and deserve each other, and you shouldn't cheer either of them on. There is no "good guy". Anything else unclear?
honestly-- does not Iran deserve to develop nuclear defense as russia, pakistan, israel, india, france and britain? MID european nations currently appreciate US defense/bases.
By your logic you’d support bombing the United States and Israel out of existence, right? Or at least whoever did would be fully justified?
Israel has bombed Iran because MAYBE they COULD develop nukes. And hadn't the orange turd broken the deal with Iran they wouldn't try to build nukes.
I don't know when everybody decided "their government does bad things = they should die" was a woke take
Oh look at that, you don't actually care about Iranian LGBT, women, and atheists. You just see them as a way to justify murdering Iranians, including Iranian women, atheists, and LGBT people.
Imagine if Putin had said he was invading Ukraine because they descriminate against Trans people? They would all be wearing Z patches and talking about the Ukrainian orcs
"Those women and LGBT arabs are being oppressed! We should murder them!"
Persians, in this case.
but this example is just an argument you won in your head. It's not reality.
You're only just learning the concept of "analogies" I take it.
analogies only work if you don't make up shit that would never happen
I'm not sure where you got that idea from, but it's absolutely false
do you think people hate putin because of his appearance or some shit? you know pretty well its his actions that make people hate him. attacking a soverign nation is a constant with Both Russia and Israel. Consistency is not a strong point with you i see.
I'm perfectly consistent, your projecting your own hypocrisy.
"but I did eat breakfast this morning"
Wtf happened here?
Oh really? Thanks for clarification it's not some random fella named Iran who beats women to death and tortures gay people and atheists, I feel even sadder to see people rush to defend a country that does that.
ME nations pretty much all suck when it comes to female civil rights, gay rights.. Let me introduce you to the US Bible Belt.
There's no them. You can't blame a whole group of people for being evil, that's how you get Auswitchz.
That's bad but their attackers have killed tens of thousands of children as well as other noncombatents and seem intent on starving a city of two million people.
