Tehran “is the principal source of regional instability and terror,” declare G7 leaders in a joint statement.

The leaders of the G7 countries on Monday issued a joint statement saying Iran should not have nuclear weapons and affirming Israel’s right to defend itself.

I never had much hope, but come the fuck on. Statements like these unironically make me want to cheer for the fascists.

Stay fascist, Israel.

I don’t see it. I don’t find it gross at all, and wouldn’t find the opposite version gross either if I saw it on c/womensstuff or something.

Again? Also Yemen carried out something resembling blockade without even having a navy, so I wouldn’t bet on force working if they were to go through with this.

Reason Gulf money prevailed indeed.

Zionists being pro-imperialism. Who woulda thunk?!

From what I understand from your message it looks like to me that this is all something like a game for you people to virtue signal.

No? What do you even mean by whitewashing him? The atrocities he commits just aren’t relevant to the topic at hand, so they’re not brought up.

Edit: Funny how you got Khomeini and Khamenei mixed up.

Wow, TIL. I thought their names were both Khomeini but that makes more sense.

I mean screw the men responsible for your misery, but Iran is objectively the good guy when it comes to Palestine. We don’t have quite as much opportunity to shit on Khomeini now that Assad isn’t around, but we still hate him don’t worry.

Some (not all or even most) socialist outlets have a soft spot for Russia, which is stupid but doesn’t affect their other reporting AFAIK.

Likewise, Iran must halt its retaliation immediately and drop its escalatory threats to attack US and UK bases.

Apparently defending yourself is the peak of insanity now.

I was going to say this is manufacturing consent, but given this is recent news I guess I can’t complain.

I mean if they really just wanted to make sure military information doesn’t reach Israel they wouldn’t impose the death penalty; the excessive punishment makes it clear this is going to be used to suppress unrelated dissent.

Many Arab Spring revolutions did work; they were just swallowed by counterrevolution later.

Bidet, hands down.

I am going to be watching with a not insignificant amount of glee when AfD manages to take power in Germany specifically because of shit like this.

Note that Iran is theorized by the West without evidence to want nuclear weapons; it’s not in any way established fact that they’re trying to make them.

Sustained ans resistance are the keywords here. We’re talking general strike and occupying your state capitol’s (or DC’s if you can get there) city square for weeks, not a slightly angry parade like the ones we saw in April.

Eh, if it was any other US president I’d agree, but not Trump. Trump’s masters are Putin and tech broligarchs.

The other person explained the excuse. The real reason is: Netanyahu’s government was in danger of dissolution in the Knesset and before the attack only survived with two votes, so netanyahu’s auto-coup required another push.

They’ve either already made them or are truthful about not wanting to make them.
