Political Memes

I saw plenty of headlines about the invasion of Lebanon. It just happened first, so the newer headlines would be about the thing that just happened

Sounds like something an antisemite would say! Why do you hate jews instead of the barbarian brown people, antisemite?

to be clear, the iran government is basically oil backed terrorism and human rights abuses. Yeah fuck iran.

I wouldn't trust a single thing iran says.

The republican party is pushing bills through the lower branch that enshrine real antisemitism through Zionism. That's where US media and politics are at regarding the genocide.

They're somewhat different. Our news media doesn't properly question our security agencies (they basically stopped doing this after 9/11), and Israel is our strongest Middle East alley, so they tend to present the Israeli narrative of the war with little or no scrutiny. That being said, given the sheer amount of destruction and death caused by the Israeli bombings, our media really can't ignore the suffering of the Palestinians this time. They're still far too deferential to Israel's justification for the suffering, but they're not ignoring.

Have you heard about them bombing Lebanon yesterday though, or even for the last few months? It got a passing mention and only in the context of "this might cause Iran to respond". And there's a few more flags on that picture.

This depends a lot on where you are. This is a heavily partisan issue so you'll likely find rural Republicans who haven't seen many people IRL who have issues with the bombing of Palestine.

I don't think that's true. Because Biden won't be able to resist. We'll have US troops on the ground and he'll still be saying Hamas is blocking the peace process.

Israel and Iran going for a real war, would make the currently bad situation even worse.

For who? It'll create more bad situations, but the currently bad situation in Palestine will get better, if anything. I know everyone is afraid of an all out war in the Middle East but in the long term it's one possible way to collapse the status quo and make way for a more sustainable future for the region. War is bad, but it's not worse than a warmonger getting to steamroll everyone else and Israel needs to regain the fear of God (and their neighbors) before there's ever a chance for peace. Egypt and Syria proved it in opposite directions in 1973.

Edit: A weaker Iran would also help countries like Lebanon and Iran gain some real independence (and turn the tide against Assad); they're definitely not sinless here.

jews are white now?

Ozma is anything but a troll. They're highly consistent in their political beliefs, and generally knows the topics they post about. Not everyone you disagree with is a troll or a foreign agent.
