Is not like we have only 2 options. Their is some people organized for emancipation and against their own states in both Iran and Israel. Campism forget people in focusing on states. That a shame that somme commies took this path : "the freedom of the workers will be build by the workers themselves " - 1st international statutes
It’s called critical support. I can support both Iran’s self-defense from genocidal maniacs while simultaneously criticizing them for their human rights abuses. It’s something that people with a functioning brain can do - hold two ideas in their head at once.
Besides, Israel has killed more gay people in the last year just through sheer numbers of the people they’ve exterminated than Iran has ever.
Fun fact. Irans executions of gay people in its entire history didn't happen until after the Islamic revolution. Before then and all the way even before the rise of Islam, whatever state that occupied Iran now all had harsh laws against homosexuals...
But enforced none. Not during pre-Roman times, Roman times, early Islamic era, medieval Islamic era, modern Islamic era. None. Not until the 80s did it happen.
It means Iran absolutely can return to a time when homosexuals were at least ignored by the law.
No one is cheering for "Iran". They are cheering for a country standing up for itself against an aggressive colonizing force bent on expansionism through violent actions currently engaged in unwarranted genocide.
Iran does bad things, yet you cheer their actions. Curious. - Charlie Kirk
I think a lot of people are glad that Israel is actually attacking somebody who can fight back now instead of more innocent defenseless children in their open air death camp.
They don't even pay you to spin things on Lemmy...
Listen, years ago I rode with Juárez against Emperor Maximilian. I lost many chickens but I thought it was worth it to be free. When Porfirio became President, I supported him – but he stole my chickens. Then came Huerta and he stole my chickens. Then it was Carranza’s term, and he stole my chickens too. Now comes Pancho Villa to liberate me and the first thing he does is steal my chickens.(…) What makes one different from the others? My chickens don’t know. All over the world revolutions come and go. Presidents rise and fall. They all stole your chickens. The only thing to change is the name of the man who takes them.

Or for a more modern version
The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace: They never are.
literally executes
Is there a non-literal way to do that?
Yes. Russia executes their gay people by making their existence impossible.
