    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.

      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?

        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.

      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.
