      And neither have most of the Iranian people, fuckwit. But you know the biggest difference between most Israelis and most Iranians? Iranians have almost universal no access to firearms. Meaning they have virtually no way to throw off the shackles of their dictatorship. So when Israel would rather laugh and bomb Iran. Its infrastructure. It’s desalination plants. Etc. instead of clandestinely getting weapons to Iranians in hopes they might protest and overthrow those fucking mullah dogs … don’t act surprised when some of us actually won’t bat an eye if surprise or shed a tear for Israel when it gets hit. I don’t feel bad for bullies getting their comeuppance. I won’t feel bad here either.

      The USA’s first target in Iran was a school for girls.

      The USA’s first target was to kill civilians.

      If you’re cheering the the USA in any of this, you’re cheering for death. No one is defending what the Iranian government has done to their civilians. But it’s not the USA’s job to be the world police, bomb little girls trying to get an education, tank the global oil economy, and send their own citizens to die in an illegal war.

      Maybe take a step back. I’m queer, married to a trans person. Palestine doesn’t support me or my right to live. I don’t care I would prefer to take the higher ground in thinking Palestinians deserve a right to live.

      Iran was uprising over their own government. Now they don’t have power, food is limited, and their govenment is still killing them while the USA bombs their schools.

      Fucking great alternative.

      Same. But people want to feel righteous I guess and celebrating civilian victims is an outlet for that.
