      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.

        Just to put the scale of this into context, the strike on the girl’s school wasn’t the first thing they did, those three strikes were among the first 700 strikes carried out on day one (1200 in the first 36 hours).

      Try asking the guy to criticise Israel for all the civilians they’ve killed and you may find that it’s actually not that easy, which is strange, right?

      this is coming from someone who’s pro palestine and anti israel and anti war as a whole.

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