Following deaths of several high ranking officers in Damascus strike attributed to Israel, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps vows revenge against its 'enemies'
I’m fine with criticizing both, and agree there are no “good guys”. Iran is not some paragon of virtue, but then we’re finding out that few nations actually are - even those that loudly claim they are.
I mean, yes fascists are bullies who cry when they get hit back but history isn’t on the side you are picking. Israel is a far-right nation plagued by ideals of racial superiority and apartheid. They’ve been abusing Palestinians for many decades, creating the conditions that led to Oct. 7th (which I’m not trying to excuse, Hamas are awful). Speaking of Hamas, Netanyahu even kept Hamas in power as a matter of policy so as to divide Palestinians and keep them from statehood. Many Israelis place some blame on him for the current conflict. So you’re both right and wrong.
It’s important to remember that there are no ‘good guys’ in this whole shit show.
Iran was probably involved in the October 7th attacks. Some media even reported the IRGC claimed it was a reprisal for the death of Soleimani, although Hamas (and later Iran) denied it.
Just because the Israeli government is filled with Jewish supremacists and fascists, doesn’t mean the Iranian’s are the good guys. For example, they tortured and executed up to 30,000 political prisoners in 1988, a similar death toll to Israel’s in Gaza.

Can you guys please stop using forty to eighty year old atrocities to justify current ones please?
It makes it really really hard for me to pretend that y’all are actually bloodthirsty.
