EDIT: READ THE SIDEBAR BEFORE COMMENTING HERE
There’s now going to be a war against Iran, and the US media is portraying Iran as the aggressor, even though Israel blew up Iran’s embassy. THAT should have been a call to end support for the genocidal ethnostate of Israel and call for a ceasefire, but instead we’re doubling down on support.
Also, friendly reminder that Israel would not be able to do this without US support. Biden could have ended this, but chose not to.
What is your defense now? How can you still justify supporting this genocidal maniac? How low is too low for you? How much suffering is too much? How many lives have to be ended or destroyed because of Biden? How much is enough that you are willing to protest, speak out against it, or at the very least not defend it in some deranged manner with “aT lEaSt He’S nOt TrUmP.” People are dying. Imagine being the caliber of person who can excuse this and say this, or even approve of him and say he’s doing well.
Literally the only way to look the other way is by convincing yourself that Iranians and Palestinians aren’t really human. “Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds” – maaaannnn I used to think this was a bit overstated, but it’s really no exaggeration at all, is it?
Edit: Lol at the right-wing neolibs who can’t help but parrot their genocide-defending bullshit in spaces where they’re not welcome. Thanks for providing examples of exactly what this post is about. Imagine thinking the person who is literally making a genocide possible is also the person who is “best for Palestinians.”
I definitely hope you’re right. This headline makes it sound bad, but if you read further it does seem that Iran’s response has shown remarkable restraint, considering the circumstances, and I’m hoping Israel will take the out.
But I too am a bit cynical, considering Israel and the US’s history of going full scorched-earth at the slightest provocation.
