What kind of world do we live in that sports players have to make these statements instead of members of government doing whats needed.

[–] BussyCat@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Sports players have a chance to give a message to a very large group of people. More people will see this then if an Iranian member of parliament makes a protest and Iran has condemned the attack numerous times

Hmm i don't wanna make a statement on the matter.

Brother, that is literally your job.

Its amazing how shitty the US is behaving, to the point where the theocratic authoritarian government of Iran is looking like the good guys.

It's an authoritarian theocracy. How the fuck is the bar to be better than them so low, yet they still fuck it up?

Iran murdered Thousands oft protestes a few months ago.

We all know that they don't care about their people.

Not questioning that they killed protesters, but I've yet to see any kind of reputable sources backing up the absurd totals that some have reported.

The US is also an authoritarien theocracy. In god we trust

It's not "shitty", that's just pure evil. And then the double tap. US is just pathetic on a whole another scale.

And behaving? It's not the first time they've done something like this.

I hope the world never lets them forget all the atrocities they've caused but we know how the pitty patty moral astroturfing, victim blaming, strawman, narcissism, ignorance that appears every time defending it.

Wow, what a great point 🙄

Same playbook as know gaza. Ok Israel do bad stuff but have you considered Hamas terrorists rape babies?

I even heard they killed 30000 people according to the people that bombed them 2 weeks later

Man if they’re able to merk 30k people in less than 3 days the Zionists would be getting notes from them instead of bombing them.
