I’m not surprised by Israel’s disgusting behavior, instead I’m sickened further and further by Western media’s framing of this and how they talk of Iran’s response; at this point I think it’s 100% fair to say that beyond most Western countries (thank you Ireland and Spain for being normal) every nation on earth (even the ones celebrating this genocide) recognize entirely that this is a genocide.
What do you even call it when the news tells you something anyone and everyone can tell is a blatant lie?
Iran has attacked military targets solely, landing critical attacks, and meanwhile for the last year and even in response to the response, Israel has attacked civilian targets. Does the news think we’re all stupid? ARE we all stupid? Are there actually that many people falling for this?
I admit I have to keep reminding myself that much of Western countries willingly pulling the wool over their own eyes is intentional because the victims here are Arabs.
I sincerely hope, I genuinely hope, I hope with all my heart I hope, that Western news gets dragged forevermore EVERY time they give their hateful interviews and talks with foreign leaders and representatives; I’ve seen some of the awesome African leaders who’ve been interviewed by American and British media, and I’ve been blown away by how amazing they are, but the media always tries to dirty their image by making them seem like dictators who crush the media or do this or that, etc. I hope Western media can NEVER again give an interview without being absolutely dragged for their complicity in this genocide, for running defense for this genocide.
And you know what else is crazy? Apparently Israelis are celebrating the attack by Iran because they believe that because no Israeli civilian died that the attack was a failure; these people are actually judging military successes literally by civilian body count; how can any nation on earth ever reason with those psychos?
Isn’t that why some yankkkees argue they won the Vietnam war?
they also argue they beat North Vietnam, chose to leave, then North Vietnam beat south Vietnam later independent to the US
I expect reactionaries to celebrate the mass killing of foreign civilians, but it’s utterly repulsive every time I see libs arguing this point. When you compare Iran and Russia’s efforts, and you see the either non-existent or exceedingly low civilian body counts, it puts it into sharp perspective how easily we could’ve avoided the shockingly high civilian deaths in the countries we invaded.
