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.
So.. all the other times Israel has been on the receiving end of violence are what exactly? Not worth it? Why, pray tell, those times do not count specifically?
Is there a particular characteristic of the Israeli population that makes those times not count for your metrics?

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.
I'm not "apologizing for genocide", I'm pointing out that people cheering on a state that tortures atheists and LGBT people is wrong. Fix your head.

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.
Yeah no, I've seen people are cheering for Iran, hence the meme.
A country which happens to be Iran, another perpetuator of genocides
Someone can be an ally of circumstances, it doesn't mean we don't oppose them anymore. It just means we have a common enemy
Currently? Does one genocide beget another? Is one more okay than another? Is Iran running around trying to take over it's neighbours? Sit down.
Iran literally funded, trained and protected the Taliban for years so they could take over Afghanistan as soon as the Western troops left. So yes, Iran is running around trying to take over its neighbours!

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?
But Israel is not expanding into Iran or bombing civilian areas (yet). If we're purely talking about Israel - Iran conflict, you have to do some serious brain gymnastics to wish for IRGC to win. Best outcome here is the fall of Iranian islamic regime and people can take back their freedom
I have no clue how much this will hurt Israel, but I have my doubts the pain will be big.
If we’re purely talking about Israel - Iran conflict, you have to do some serious brain gymnastics
You have to do at least as much gymnastics to ignore the context surrounding this conflict though.

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.
Kamala Harris has entered the chat...
Purity politics is the only kind some people understand.
Exactly. It's possible to see a fight between two drunk idiots and just hope that they both get hurt and nobody else does.
We don't have to take sides unless you know one of them personally.
And I don't know either of these cunts.
Iran has been markedly polite to Israel for years in the face of Israel’s non stop delusional aggressions. No one is shedding tears for Israel today, but it’s not about the past. It’s about the recent and Israel needs to acclimate to a new world where the US can’t save them.
Iran has been bankrolling Hamas and Hezbollah. Not sure that counts as polite. They've avoided direct conflict with Israel, but that's not out of politeness it's because Israel has nukes and the idf behaves like a honey badger on meth.

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.
Yes, functioning brains can experience cognitive dissonance
It’s not cognitive dissonance if you’re deliberately holding the two ideas. It’s only cognitive dissonance when you try to keep their black and white thinking and can’t find any reconciliation between the two.
There's a difference between carpet bombing an entire country (also not defensible) and deliberately removing gay people from your population using the legal system.
Yes, and carpet bombing is entirely more evil. Iran is the lesser of two evils here. Isn’t that what liberals said we should always strive for? The lesser of two evils?

Two ideas? In this economy?
Your last paragraph is really out there, making Israel worse because they may have accidentally killed more gays?
How about we don't cheer on either? How about we don't cheer at all? Innocent civilians are dying because a bunch of dictatorial egomaniacs want to feel powerful. I don't care what their nationality is, people are dying, I'm not cheering anyone.
Fuck the Israeli genocidal government
Fuck the Iranian murderous hateful theocratic dictatorship
Fuck the murderers from Hamas.
Take all of those against a wall and you finally might have a chance at actual peace there.
I'm not cheering, I'm crying for the people
How is it accidental? They are committing genocide. All of their murders are purposeful. Also, I never said anything about cheering, I said I critically support Iran's defense against Israeli aggression.
Btw, I agree with you. The ruling class is responsible for all of this, and unless we remove them and make it impossible for a class system to exist, we will perpetually have war.
All I'm saying is that if someone attacks me, intent on my annihilation, you don't get to say how I fight back.
whos being annihilated? its not the israelis. you are saying its ok to fight back to a bully who threw the first punch without acknowledging it was the bully and his rich friends who started it in the first place.
"Hey I only killed your mother and father and then took over your house but you fight back against me?! DIE!"-- thats israel
I think we’re agreeing but something got lost. I was trying to say that Israel is the bully and it’s ok to fight back against them.
my apologies, i am jewish and muslim (mother and father) and this scenario hits a sore spot. I don't want anyone to have to go through what they are going through. And I thank you for your candidness.
its a never-ending conflict and I feel hopeless about it
accidentally
"woops accidentally carpet bombed an entire neighborhood didn't know there was a gay person there! tee hee!"
maybe if we overthrow their government again for oil money the iranians will learn better, right pheonix?
I'm not cheering for either of them and wish they both get what they deserve.
