Nobody is saying Iran is good, this war if anything has solidified the rule of the hardline ideologues in its Government, by killing off a bunch of the more moderate ones. And all this bombing is definitely going to convince the local population that you are the good guys, right? Is it any wonder why the people haven’t risen up against the Iranian regime? And all that is not to mention that the war has handed the regime control of the Strait.

And it’s fair for people to point out that the the US and Israel starting the war was illegal under international law and exactly the same crime most of the world is sanctioning Russia for… Just because you don’t like the target, you can’t ignore the facts.

I think it depends on what you classify as siding with Iran. I don't support any part of Iran's regime, but they didn't start this war. I don't support any part of Iran's regime, but this war seems to have empowered rather than destroyed the most objectionable parts of Iran's regime. I don't support any part of Iran's regime. But the actions of the US and Israel in this war have breached a lot of international rules that we would decry if it were Russia or China - and in doing so have created much more risk for countries in Eastern Europe and Taiwan.

Israel and America sure managed to set the bar low didn't they?

I don't know anyone saying "Iran good." That's just a straw man. Both Israel and Iran can be bad simultaneously.

Well, he must have deleted it, then, because there is literally no mention of Hezbollah in this thread. Nobody with at least half a brain is saying that Iran is in any way a good guy.

They did post this:

> I’m a developer who has to deal with Zionism every day. We’re speed running IBM and the Holocaust. Commenting about it is the very least I can do.

> I have zero issue with Hezbollah.

The parent comment, from OP, which was flagged, was questioning GP about Iran's support for Hezbollah IIRC.

I do not share any values with Zionism which include: genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, imperialism, systematic rape, torture, censorship, bribery and blackmail.

I’m a leftist and certainly Muslims will be against their own slaughter. There are plenty of right wingers who hate Zionism too though. Zionist’s only allies are the heavily propagandized baby boomers, and even they are shifting away from Israel.
