Two wrongs don't make a right.

No one is cheering for "Iran". They are cheering for a country standing up for itself against an aggressive colonizing force bent on expansionism through violent actions currently engaged in unwarranted genocide.

Is there a non-literal way to do that?

So then what we have here is a conflict between unrepentant, even gleeful genociders, and a bigoted theocratic terrorist state... I mean. They're the same picture.

You're trying to whatabout the unjustifiable barbarism of the Israeli state Zionists who are hell bent on tying practicing Jews and the diaspora to their psycopathic crimes against humanity. Whether you realize it or not.

Is it possible to cheer an action but not the actor?

Like, if someone swims out to save a drowning kid but it turns out they were only there to dump a dead body, can I still be glad they saved the kid?

is this the definition of a straw man argument?

It's pretty "funny" the amount of people who imagine this as some "foreign conflict" between "two sides", when it's a direct continuation of USAian imperialism. It's not surprising that brainwashed libs are hating on an "official enemy". Libs and their politicians have supported these attacks on Iran for decades.

One genocides a subjugated population, the other exterminates queer folks

Just let them have their squabble, walk away, do not touch, discourage others from approaching, bad time for all

America needs to back off and not get involved

Iran does bad things, yet you cheer their actions. Curious. - Charlie Kirk

They don't even pay you to spin things on Lemmy...

I think a lot of people are glad that Israel is actually attacking somebody who can fight back now instead of more innocent defenseless children in their open air death camp.
