I’m no Israel supporter but fuck the IRGC. I hope Iranians can at least get a regime change out of this. Death to khamenei and death to all the IRGC leadership. I hope they all become kotlets.
Let’s hope for the same in Israel. Both need it badly.
Likud is the *left right of the governing coalition. They need regime change badly.
Edit: not the right of the coalation madly enough
I mean, fuck Hamas too. They’re far right fundamentalists. But fuck Israel so much harder. And for the time being the enemy of my enemy, etc.
Iran has been in the region for over 4000 years. The source of the problem is more recent and Western.
“I’m no Nazi Germany supporter, but fuck the British Empire. I hope the British can at least get a regime change out of this. Death to the King and to all the British leadership. I hope they all become beef Wellington”
- bzz after the battle of Dunkirk.
WTF LMFAO. Iran is way closer to Nazi Germany than the British under Churchill which it doesn’t resemble in any way.
Churchill the man behind the Bengal famine? The man who denied Palestinian sovereignty? That Churchill?
Yeah, but he was a white westerner, and to the rascist liberals on .world, that makes him a good guy.

I think you downvoted me but acknowledge I make sense? Well if you think make sense, perhaps consider actually heeding the advice to look through the world with different contextual lenses
Israel is Nazi Germany in the analogy.
Let them both be nazi, don’t argue that. Btw, nazi=bad is ina way trivializing the situation. Let’s held each state accountable of their own crimes.
Could you actually read the comment I was replying to before diving in?
Oh, I only meant to add to the ongoing full thread…
well you comment doesn’t really make sense in context of the full thread.
You are an Israel supporter.
Absolutely not. Iranians are celebrating the death of some of those killed in the strike.
Israelis are celebrating the Iranian strikes on Tel Aviv.
This is you.
No, I mean their literally celebrating that some of the fuckers were killed who contributed to repressing the hijab protests
Go to YouTube and search any video about Iran and watch it. Check what women are wearing. Come back then.
Well, Iran has the right to defend itself
Nice. Iran has the right to defend itself.
Iran also should have the right to chose their own leaders. But they don’t. Which is too bad. If they weren’t stuck with a Supreme Dictator making their decisions then they wouldn’t even need to be defending themselves right now.
They do not because do you know who overthrew the Iranian democracy in 1953?
From the podcast I’m listening to, sounds like it was Teddy Roosevelt’s grand son.
From the gay people they execute and the female protesters that they disappear?
Additionally did I have a right to defend or retaliate after you guys wrecked my country and treated my people like scum? Cause if so, death to America.
From the genocidal Zionists which killed more gay people in one year than Iran since its inception.
Go simp for Zionists on Reddit.
It’s wild, im indigenous and have never had so much hate and racism thrown at me by white leftists who are perching to my brown ass about genocide and colonialism, as I have these pat two years. The rest of us around the world are shaking our head at you guys, your right wingers have been toxic for a long time, but the African left decided to follow suit this year. Non American leftists think you guys are all extremists now
Iranian women are protesting and they want nuclear weapons https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QT8-500J7lo
Oh man it’s gonna be a good day when Israel falls.
This website is collectively completely deluded. Every thread on this topic I see people (I’m assuming tankies and/or actual Hamas supporters) fantasizing about Iran destroying Israel with is… just laughable from an objective PoV.
I despise the Israeli government but regardless of my feelings towards them, their military is so much more advanced than Iran’s, it’s not even comparable. And they have the backstop of a US carrier group, in case something does go wrong.
Unfortunately it’s all feelings and no facts on this website. Makes it really hard to actually engage with people.
I don’t believe anyone is saying Iran is capable of doing it, just that it’d be a good day when it finally does happen.
Israel has all the best toys from their sugar-daddy America. Of course a handful of out-dated Iranian drones won’t do shit.
In the last 24 hours I had the pleasure of interacting with multiple users who are 100% sure Iran is stronger than Israel.
All empires eventually collapse, and an empire is like a large cake, most easily diminished at the edges. Israel will fall sooner or later, like the Crusader states and like French colonization in Algeria. It took 198 years for the Crusader states to fall, 132 years for Algeria to be liberated from brutal French colonialism. We may all be long dead when it happens but it will happen.
Look man, people just want to experience a little optimism and fantasize about good things happening in the world. We don’t care if it is realistic or not. It keeps hope alive.
Better than being a hopeless doomer about everything.
Better than being a hopeless doomer about everything.
How can any change happen if there is only a limited willingness to perveive reality and analyze it?
By allowing people to relieve some stress and engage in a little revolutionary optimism every now and then, even if it is far fetched and not realistic, so that people can retain their mental health and remember what it feels like to actually have hope about something in this shithole of a world we find ourselves.
You can’t change anything if you don’t have hope for a brighter future. This builds hope, even if it has to reach for it.
Not everything at every waking moment needs to be analyzed in depth. At this current moment, none of us could affect the outcome of this situation anyway, so let people fantasize.
Magical thinking won’t save us.
Never said it would, but neither will you being a wet blanket to people who are just trying to make the best of a shit situation that they cannot affect in any materially significant way at this current moment.
And FYI, that “magical thinking”, does help bring change. A movement without hope is a movement that is doomed to fail. Look up “revolutionary optimism” and its importance for keeping up morale.
The easiest way to break an army is to break their spirits. If yours is already broken, then you are no help to anyone.

Well if the dictatorship is overthrown in Iran, that would be fantastically great. If Israel also gets rid of its terrible PM, that would be good too. Maybe both the people of Iran and Israel can both come out winners.
Rant in agreement, not directed at you: I got banned from /c/progressivepolitics for sharing a dozen reputable links with the most obvious history of Iran in the last 50 years. Fuck Iran. Fuck their government. Fuck bigotry. Fuck classsism. And fuck you antisemites looking for any enemy of the Jews to cheer on. You’re transparent, full of shit and argue in bad faith. Best case this place is flooded with Russian bots. You know, the ones pushing the Ukraine with the Jewish leader are the Nazis, Russians? And now the Jews, who Russians fucking adore, are the Nazis everywhere. Jfc. Clearly Israel’s regime and Likud are fucking deplorable. Don’t pretend you care about Palestinians more than an excuse to pipe up about the Jews. I fucking hate this site. I think I’m done. Siding with fucking Iran?!?! On anything?! The West should fucking level their nuclear infrastructure and pull a Nicaragua on their government if Israel doesn’t succeed first. Fuck that shithole terrorist funding country. Bc we care about rehoming all the exiled Persians, right? Bc the migrants? Right? Bc we care about them no matter where they’re from, right? So women can wear bikinis and get doctorates, right? So people can be gay and practice the religion they want, right? Disingenuous bullshit motherfuckers on here. Rot in hell you Nazi tanky bootlicking fucks and fuck you fake leftist preachy privileged little shits. Iran is not good. They have lots of enemies that are as shitty as them, but only the Jews getting you cheering for Iran. Read a fucking history book or a fucking news article from literally less than a year ago, and see who you’re cheering, you ignorant cunts.
I feel ya.
You fail to realize all of the countries Israel has been attacking working together, like how Germany fell. It’s just a matter of time.
Anyways. You’re free to leave.
Oh sure, Iran is super popular in the region. I’m sure all their allies will be riding to their defense any day now.
Oh don’t get me wrong. Fuck Iran. But fuck Israel too. They have been attacking everybody around them.
it’s an excuse for extremists to indulge conspiracy fantasies and hate jews openly
You don’t have to be an extremist to hate them…
Fuck Israel.
seems like you’ll be next in line to commit an act of terror for the cause
Seems like you are okay with the mass killing of innocent people and are simply projecting.
when was it? jews moving into palestine?
Lmao, go away little man.
Its crazy right? I’m so tired of reddit alternatives being taken over by lunatics. So tired man.

To all of their victims.
Since Zionist colonialism began, the region has been drawn from one conflict to another. It operates like a cancerous tumor.

Canada is there as well. You can tell because they send each other the same statement “Israel has the right to defend itself” when they literally started an attack, and committing a live streamed genocide.
The statement, of right to self defence, is already proof they are guilty. Imagine someone shoot a few people, and the first statement when police arrive is: “I have the right to defend my self”
So, in a situation when a mob, armed with knives, start shouting: "Let’s kill him!” and surround a person, holding a rifle
- you are defending the mob scums, shot 1 by 1 by the dude. Who was the one openly threatened.
You are delusional and have an alternative view on self-preservation.
More (worse) than that, it’s fair to suggest you have 0 understanding how the law works (the right for self-defense, plausible threats etc.).
Good luck calling me you racist names. I’m guessing you are one of those, holding the knife TOO. 💁So, in a situation when a mob, armed with knives, start shouting: "Let’s kill him!” and surround a person, holding a rifle you are defending the mob scums, shot 1 by 1 by the dude.

Create alternative history and lie about historical event
Call someone delusional online
Accusing them of calling you name
Play the victim when no one even allude to use force against you
I see, you are either delusional - or extremely challenged in basic searching of historic data.
Let me help you! There is a readily made list of events of varying degrees of disgust and terror, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Quds_Day_demonstrations
Try counting the number of times Iranian officials (and their sock pupets, like hesbollah) give barbaric statements about destroying Israel and praising the deaths of the people.
So much of “alternative history” there! 🤦 You are welcome, you toxic lunatic!
Spoken like a true genocidal idiot
Excised? What the actual fuck?
Do you think the population of these countries support this shit?
The title suggest that Israel’s bombing in the first place was New Hope?
I doubt they can beat the US, but I hope Iran wins.
Terrorists like Israel need to be eliminated.
I’d rather prefer both sides losing.
And then a proper democratic revolution on both sides again.
Now do Russia and Ukraine
Lemmy straight up cheering theocratic terrorists
Israel, Iran, or the US?
Yes.
The Iranian regime is fucking awful, the Israeli one is just even more awful such that Iran still seem like the good guys in comparison. Its like two assholes fighting, they’re both assholes but one clearly started it.

Do you really want Iran to have nukes though?
Just because Israel are horrible, doesn’t automatically make the people they’re fighting the good guys.
Honestly no but if I lived in a country or bloc without nukes myself I’d want my government to get them because its the only way to not get randomly regime changed whenever the US, UK or Russia feels like it. Totally understandable why they would want them.
Was Iran actually producing nuclear weapons?
Haleu fuel is pretty common that’s enriched up to about 20%. Highly enriched fuel is still used for nuclear power on aircraft carriers that use 93% enriched U235.
Iran is definitely just trying to make weapons but wanted to at least give some examples of higher enriched fuels
Being that we know Iran sells weapons to Russia, I wonder where it would be cheaper to produce weapons. Would it be cheaper for Russia to pay to have certain things created elsewhere or in Russia. We know a lot of Russia’s weapons in the past were built in what now is Ukraine. Examples would be their Aircraft Carriers, destroyers, etc. Hell one of their main Aircraft Carriers was named Kiev
Every credible comment I’ve read says they’re in the process of developing them, the only group who says otherwise is Iran themselves.
They havent been in the process of developing them. They have been enriching Uranium to the level needed for developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran has always been “close” to develop nuclear weapons over the past years, to ensure that it can do so to defend itself in the case of an attack. Now with Israels unprecedented attack, it is more likely that Iran sees the need to actually develop a nuke to protect its existence.
Israel knows this and keeps pushing to quickly get the US involved beyond a point of no return and fight the war against Iran for them.
They have been enriching Uranium to the level needed for developing a nuclear weapon.
Isn’t that part of the process though?
It is a prerequirement.
If you produce thick steel sheets, that is a requirement to build tanks, but it doesnt mean you are building tanks.
Now if you start welding those sheets together in a tank shape, while making all the other stuff that you find in a tank, now you are building a tank.
So if Iran starts building specific parts for nukes and processing the enriched Uranium in a way that is suitable for making a warhead, that would be building a nuke.
So if Iran starts building specific parts for nukes and processing the enriched Uranium in a way that is suitable for making a warhead, that would be building a nuke.
Which is precisely what they’re doing, unless you actually believe they want that level of enrichment for a power plant.
Israels attack follows a report from the IEAE stating that Iran has likely started the race to a bomb. They (Iran) have also recently expelled UN oversight from their enrichment sites.
I’m not defending Israel but what does that look like to you? Sure seems like for some people their hatred for Israel is clouding their objective judgement.
Israels attack follows a report from the IEAE
And that report follows a document leak showing the IEAE actively passing on confidential reports from Iran directly to Israel.
Do you really want Iran to have nukes though?
Iran has the right to defend themselves. Without nukes, they’re going to end up like Iraq, Libya, or the countless other countries that Israel and the US felt like destroying. They’re champing at the bit to smash Iran to pieces and it’s not going to stop at limiting nuclear capabilities.
Most definitely. I want every country on Earth to have their own nuclear weapons. It’s the ultimate deterrent.
Funny how liberals never say this about Ukraine and Russia. It’s only when non-whites fight back that they start bloviating about “both sides bad”
Funny how tankies always think “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. They have no capacity for nuance.
Well I never said that, so you’re just straw-manning because you can’t address what I actually said.
And again, funny how this “capacity for nuance” didn’t come out for Ukraine, only for the non-white country. Almost like liberals are ultimately just white supremacists.
“non-whites fight back” is an interesting way to describe the fucked up, nuke happy, Ayatollah regime that’s plaguing Iran.
Imagine thinking this was remotely similar to Ukraine and Russia.
Don’t worry, I understand that - while it may seems to be an analogous situation on the surface - Ukraine a White country and Iran is not, and to Western liberals, that makes all the difference in the world.
Ukraine a White country and Iran is not
And yet Iran is literally where the “Aryians” originated who were idolized by Hitler.
, and to Western liberals, that makes all the difference in the world.
Here is the actual thing that makes all the difference in the world. It would be racist to think that Iranians don’t deserve human rights and freedom, which implies they aren’t as good as people in the west.
Russia, Iran - dictatorships.
Ukraine - democracy
Israel - democracy (but moving away)
The fact that you consider Israel a democracy when it denies millions of its subjects, not just the right to vote, but all rights at all, further demonstrates that you’re just a white supremacist.
It’s only when non-whites fight back that they start bloviating about “both sides bad”
To be thinking that Iranians aren’t good enough to deserve human rights and democracy because they aren’t western/white sounds racist.
The human right of being carpet bombed by a genocidal ethnostate…
given how the US lost so many recent wars, I wouldn’t consider the US a military power.
they are great at funneling taxpayer money to shareholders pockets. but they can’t win against the protest people in the world.
they invade, try to set up a puppet state, then leave with the tail between their legs.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
Ironically, many have tried (so now we know the result. And the proverb)…
This. People don’t like it when I say the US is a Paper Tiger. uS power doesn’t come from its military strength but from its economic strength.
If pushed hard, it would crumble. The only reason the US has military bases all over is to scare those countries into submission to exploit their workforce. Yet, all those bases are fucking expensive to just maintain. If those countries resisted, then the US loses its economic strength gained from their exploitation, and its military crumbles when it cannot afford to satisfy both it’s military contracts and maintain its presence abroad.
Not to mention the internal turmoil when the citizens experience the affects on society when the oligarchy can’t subsidize the consumerist lifestyle anymore. Thought that’s happening already thanks to the imperial boomerang.
you taught me the term “paper tiger” thanks.
You are welcome, prehistoric arthropod from the Cambrian period.

We both know it’ll be residential areas Israel targets. They already blew up a residential area in Tehran in their first attack.
so where did the rockets from iran go down last night?
