I'm not cheering for either of them and wish they both get what they deserve.

What about Israel, a country that literally executes an entire nation of people, the Palestinians?

What about not cheering for either one? Or just fuckin stop with the immediate what abouts?

What about this post then? Why didn't OP take that stance when making this post? Why are you just not directing your whataboutism at me?

In this conflict I learned to take no side, except the one of the victims who didn't ask to be involved.

Is it possible they are both just very very bad?

[–] PTSDwarrior@lemmy.ml 1 points 24 minutes ago

They are. And I fear the Iranians are just going to circle the wagons and it will strengthen the evil Islamic pedophile regime. The Israelis will do the same.

Aye my good Ronno, that is exactly the point I am trying to get across in the meme!

I think the key difference being the people of the country. Idk for sure, but it seems one side has 80% of people supporting genocide, and the other side is doing their best to disobey bullshit Islamic laws like hair coverings.

It's not so much cheering on Iran, but not giving a shit about Israel. Like, Israel just attacked Iran, they reap what they sow.

Eh, one side is committing genocide, has been ethnically cleansing Palestinian, continually attacking neighboring countries, and effectively murdering gay people as well (do you think the 2000 pound bombs make an exception for gay people?) and the other side is a theocracy with all the flaws that come with that. When it comes down to it, Israel is far, far worse than Iran. You can support parties you're critical of.

I think the more morally sound position is to not support either of them (Zionists and Islamists).

Me when a guy in a white supremacist administration makes a nazi salute and the ADL goes "no, it wasn't"

Me when an interest group which for decades has cried out against genocide and targeted ethno-religious persecution actively and deliberately proclaims it is going to eliminate an entire ethno-religious group from a large area of land

Me when people are defending that
