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.

literally executes

Is there a non-literal way to do that?

Yes. Russia executes their gay people by making their existence impossible.

Sure, but the enemy of your enemy is not automatically good.

Iran is killing civilians in Ukraine. Iran can burn.

I haven't seen much cheering on World but I imagine elsewhere those tankie triad fucks are having a fit over the Isreali strikes.

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.

'Cause of religion. Don't leave that part out. Also, remember, the US has an office of faith now. lmao

America literally executes Down's people.

So now what? We're supposed to cheer on Israel, who literally starves children, because sometimes Iran does things as bad as we do?

Twist your brain more into a pretzel, why don't you.

Oh, were they executed specifically for being intellectually disabled as a form of "societal purification" like Iran does to atheists and LGBT people, or like Israel does to Muslims?

Or did they do something else and happen to fall into a group that shouldn't be discriminated against?

Weak ass take, try something different bud
