To be fair Guardian was one of the few (maybe only) main stream media outlets that had regular articles on Gaza calling it a genocide/ethnic cleansing/war crime. It wasn't ofcourse an editorial stand point but they allowed their writers to express this opinion. BBC on the other hand is a different story...

Even if it's true, "My noble protests" vs "their violent riots." What ever could she be protesting? I'm sure you'll tell me the CIA is behind it.

I'm not rooting for Iran, but after we murdered hundreds of school children on like day fucking 2, I have been rooting against the US.

If there is a way we can lose without Iran winning, then that would be ideal.

Putting aside the tankies, I think a lot of people are just rooting for Iran because they want to see Trump's stupidity blow up in his face. It's not really about wanting Iran to win so much as it is about wanting the US to lose, because that kind of arrogance and belligerence deserves a downfall.

And, of course, there are plenty of people who are rooting for Iran because the Iranian people are already struggling under an oppressive government and don't deserve to then get bombed into the stone age by an angry, insecure man who just wants to make his dick feel big. Rooting for Iran and rooting for the Iranian government are not actually the same thing after all.

Exactly. No matter who wins the “operation” it’ll be the bad guys.

Is it okay to think the regime in Iran is bad, but still root for them in the war because they are the underdog, and were seemingly behaving under the Obama era agreement?

And then be worried because now the Iranian regime will probably end up getting nukes, and that will mess with the power balance in the region/world.

And think that it's not all bad that the world can end up being forced to ditch fossil fuel because of this war.

And then think Iran are assholes for supplying drones and other stuff to Russia.

It's complicated when so many things (mostly bad) are happening.

Edit: I forgot to add the worry that this war can end up triggering WW3.

I'm rooting for Iran, not because they're Iran, but because they were attacked and are fighting back.

Fuck the United States.

I think it’s more people not want to fight the pedo-state of Israel’s war for them, rather than “rooting for iran.”

Israel a million times more an adversary to the U.S. than Iran is.

So you would rather Iran loses to the US and instead of being able to follow the path of self-determination, they become a brutal puppet of the US?

Because that’s what supporting Iran means, it doesn’t mean you agree with their government. It means you want Iran to win it’s defense against America and for the people to rebuild their lives.

Prior to the US’ unprovoked attack, Iran was in the midst of massive societal upheaval and liberalisation. That has now been sidelined for decades as military and theocratic hardliners have all the pretext to force their will onto the people in the name of national security.

Although Palestinians >>> Israelis.

(I refer to the fact that most Israelis [and also non-Israeli Jews] believe that there are no innocents in Iran, is not about hating people just because of it)

True.

So anyways, are you going to tune in for the live execution we have coming up?
