    Yeah, not considering Israel as “clearly the good guys” while they commit genocide is antisemitism.

    I know this might be difficult for some people, but it is absolutely possible to be critical of both sides in a conflict. It is also possible to see it as good that Iran is containing Israel from implementing its greater Israel dreams, annexing most of the Westasia region, while condemning Irans repression against its people and the violent influence expansion targeting non Shias in Iraq and Syria.

    But of course Israel and its allies try to paint things in “good” vs. “evil”. This way there needs to be no condemnation of the actions of the “good guys”, no matter how blatant crimes they are and there needs to be no consideration of the motivations of the “evil guys”, no matter how legitimate their interests are.

      This is seriously one of the best takes I’ve seen on this situation. Most people seem to get hung up on this idea of there always being a “hero” and “villain”. Not every situation has a hero.
