What about not cheering for either one? Or just fuckin stop with the immediate what abouts?
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.
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".
