Then defend yourself, asshole. You’re so goddamned brilliant and bold and true? Buy or build your own weapons. Shoot down your own drones and missiles. You want your kids to go die colonizing Gaza and the West Bank and Iran, be my guest, but our children don’t need it. The United States military is not the solution to the last seventy-five years of mutual trauma your Zionist bullshit cultivated, or to your personal legal problems. Man up, then.

Dude, you do realize you’re too black to be Tony Blair, right?

There are forces in all three places, Iran, Israel, and the US, who would like to see a conflict like this really jump off, though. If you want to prevent a wider war, it’s those factions you should be watching, not the sky. As for me, I’m idly chillin’ with a brew in the ‘bite each other’s dicks off loool’ camp.

I mean, in the span of half a year we’ve gone from “Israel has a right to defend itself (against a mass shooting)” to ‘Israel has the right to murder 33,000+ people, ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank, use famine as a weapon, target journalists and aid workers, and bomb anyone in the region as and when they wish without consequences (using western heavy weapons).’ But this is somehow about hostages and “defeating Hamas.” I call that gettin’ swindled and pimped.
Ain’t nobody benefited from the US / Israel alliance except Israelis, defense contractors, energy corporations, repression tech brokers, religious extremists (of all stripes), and generations of intelligence folk who use Israel to do the dirty shit that the US can’t be caught doing in the region. It’s an imperial outpost that has brought nothing but problems for the people of the United States. If it wants to become a state, fine. Do the paperwork. Otherwise fuck off and deal with your own shit.

I mean, as far as I’m concerned anything that gets done against Iran’s regime is a win for freedom and justice, but this old US trick of talking out of both sides of your mouths with regard to political violence, of using airstrikes and then crying victim when it lands at your doorstep, ain’t gonna work if we’re going to fix this world. If Israel didn’t want a war with Iran, it shouldn’t have attacked Iran. If you don’t want a war with Iran, don’t help Israel attack Iran. It’s not complicated.

Regardless of circumstances, let’s not pretend that Iran is some sort of victim. Israel’s strike on a group of Iran’s military leaders was a net-gain for everyone who matters, regardless of why. Iran is a theocratic fascist regime that murders children as a matter of policy. If one allies with or facilitates that, one has forfeited the right to continue to exist in a social space. One is a weed waiting to be plucked from the garden. Not for what they are but for what they choose to do. Fuck ‘em.

Anyway, remember that Iranian uprising with the murdering young girls situation? And remember when I was like: ‘hey, guys, this would be a great time for the US to show its support for the people of Iran in their time of need?’ And all the beautiful people were like: ‘neoliberal nonsense blah blah blah state structures must persist those people do not matter bleep bloop blop women power diversity will prevail bleep bloop?’ Yeah, that was a hoot, wasn’t it? lol 😆
