It’s so funny reading most comments here, knowing that they’d be celebrating and saying this is good if it was Netanyahu. But when it’s a maniacal islamist declaring his goal to be the destruction of US and Israel, it’s suddenly very nuanced.
- wiseowise 7mo agoIt's not nuanced at all. Both deserve death row.
- hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 7mo agoDon't worry, if you say maniac and islamist enough times everyone will understand your view point and change their minds about what it means to blow up middle eastern countries.
- pydry 7mo agoNetanyahu committed genocide. The worst crime humanity can commit. It's not actually very funny how many people go very far out of their way to try and downplay that.
- muzani 7mo agoThey don't downplay it anymore, they're justifying it.

- nailer 7mo ago> Netanyahu committed genocide No he didn’t, you made that up.
- bigyabai 7mo agoThe charges are not made-up, he just hasn't been tried on them yet: https://www.icc-cpi.int/defendant/netanyahu https://www.icc-cpi.int/defendant/netanyahu
- elif 7mo agoI'm all for upholding international law and holding tyrants to justice. I am also in favor of the US Constitution's separation of powers. I would be equally pissed if Netanyahu died at the expense of rule of law.

- konart 7mo ago>maniacal islamist declaring his goal vs >maniacal 'whatever you call him' actually committed to methodically wipe out his neighbor
- esalman 7mo agoThe first one is crippled by US sanctions, second one propped up by US taxpayers.

- dralley 7mo agoAn almost bigger irony is that most of those complaining would almost certainly have lamented in the past about leaders sending their nations poor to fight instead of going after each other directly. But now "that's illegal" (not just the war, but specifically the decapitation strikes)
- jimmydoe 7mo agoIf you do care the number of people will die bc of the sudden death of their leadership, then the reaction makes sense. Israel society will still function if its far right leadership was taken out suddenly, Iran society will collapse and become unpredictable and miserable if rev guard were suddenly removed without quick replacement or resolution.
- righthand 7mo agoThey’re still bombing Tehran right now.[0] It’s not over. What is there to celebrate? I hope Netanyahu and Trump both die today but I’d prefer they were prosecuted not blown up with missiles. Do you think I should celebrate their deaths when the day comes? They’re both maniacal men who have beliefs and have gotten people killed for no reason.

- agb123 7mo agoNo one liked the ayatollah, but if you think the president can go to war without congressional approval then you are unamerican. On top of that, the younger generation of the IRGC is more extreme than the current one, and there has never been a successful regime change by only using an air campaign. Dummies might point to Kosovo or Libya, but the opposition in those cases were armed. In Iran, the opposition is about to get slaughtered and oppressed further, unless we get boots on the ground.
- nielsbot 7mo agoI saw some news that the US and Israel have been killing existing leftist opposition india’s Iran because they want to install the Shah’s son.
- hnuser847 7mo ago> if you think the president can go to war without congressional approval then you are unamerican The last time congress declared war was 1942. That ship long ago my friend.
- OkayPhysicist 7mo agoAnd, probably not coincidentally, 1942 was the last time the US got involved in a conflict that we can be proud of.
- xenospn 7mo agoThis reminds me of a quote I heard earlier this week - “if they’re brown, it’s culture. If they’re white, it’s genocide”
- troad 7mo agoIt's funny how being partisan makes one "know" all these unknowable, evidence-free hypotheticals about the other side. Must be nice, to replace the difficult art of getting things done in politics with merely spectating at a soccer match. Team Green or Team Blue? Get your bumper stickers and profile emojis.
- sosomoxie 7mo agoObviously, given that Netanyahu is the face of the entity at the root cause of all of these problems.
- Alex_L_Wood 7mo agoOh, please enlighten us what is the entity, don’t be a coward!
- sosomoxie 7mo agoIsrael of course, I'm sorry I thought that was clear. I do not shy away from stating the obvious.
- whyage 7mo agoSo Israel is at fault of the Iranian government slaughtering 30,000 of its citizens just last month?
- sosomoxie 7mo agoIsrael is at fault for spreading those false rumors, yes. Just like Iraq having "weapons of mass destruction". Same people lying to drag the US into unjust wars.
- whyage 7mo agoOh, so the Iranian government didn't shoot its own citizens en masse? It's just Zionist propaganda? Interesting
