      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?

        “You shouldn’t be cheering either of them” is the whole point of the post. If I saw people suddenly being pro-Israel, the meme would be about them. I only saw people cheering Iran, hence the meme.

          is the whole point

          Dissenting against supporters of Iran doesn’t automatically assume the position of dissenters against Israel. Supporters of Israel could also share that sentiment.

          Let’s not forget that Israel fired at Iran first this go around

            The Israel stans are gone buddy, at least from the places I personally frequent. Iran stans are present and accounted for, see how controversial this post has become.

            If I saw people suddenly become pro-Israel and start full throatedly defend that country, the meme I posted would reflect that.

              Point me at these “Iran stans” please. All I see are people that make a distinction between the genocidal supremacist colonial apartheid regime and a repressive theocratic dictatorship (which lest we forget got power thanks to US meddling) that for all its flaws is helping the resistance against a genocide and people whose analysis starts and stops at “both sides bad”.

                And just like that they disappeared to not answer. And if they do it will be with someone they antagonized into saying what they want to prove to themselves their point.

                They just wanted to fight against people they thought was morally justified and made a post to make them come to them to do so.
