The Muslim Brotherhood, one of the most powerful political entities in the Middle East, has rallied around Iran in the wake of Israel’s devastating strikes on the country and urged disparate Muslim groups to unite and “confront the Zionist entity”.

In a letter addressed to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday, the acting head of the movement, Salah Abdel Haq, said his group expressed “full support” for the Islamic Republic as Israel’s assault stretched into a second week.

The old fascist playbook.

Use violence against the out group. If the out group protests peaceful, falsely claim it’s violence to increase your own violence. If the out group fights back, use it as an excuse to bring all the violence you have to bear while painting your attack as an act of “defense”.

The real issue is that people are not watching mainstream media as much anymore, whole generations are now immune to the whole manufacturing consent paradigms on both the right and the left that come from the government and corporate media… hearing how cnn fox msmbc and even npr and bbc talk about how Israel’s genocide is Gaza…. I believe it’s waking us up in a way that has never happened simply because we have the internet and alternate sources of information….

Our war in Iran certainly won't spark a resurgence of ISIS, we can be sure of that. /s

Any pacific movement left over there or is it just warmongers vs warmongers ?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

Pacifists are worthless in the face of a genocidal, ethnosupremacist state seeking Lebensaum for a Greater Israel.

not much chance of pacific movements when an imperialist hegemon keeps stirring shit up over there.

If the issue is still oil, let's go follow the electric wave coming from far east then. People either start finding solutions or it will be a hell land forever.

I guess I'll avoid any comment about this from now on, it makes not sense anymore.

its about hegemony more than just oil. the petrodollar is a means to an end in that respect, thats why oil is so important.

the us will still find a way to target dissent even without oil in the mix. if we let them win and stay hegemons past the inevitable oil crisis, that is.

The only ones who have the power to end this with peace are israel.

Unfortunately they're fucked, they didn't just settle there, they want to expand too, they are like robots instructed to kill whoever they like

They managed to merge Zionism with Semitism for the common people and make them feel like Nazis or antisemites for opposing Israel. Either cancel them with force or watch them get the middle east (with the help of our nazi west governments)
