You should be more passionate in opposing them because this shit is the closest we've ever been to WW3 and Israel only seems interested in further escalation.
Gee, I wonder why that is. It couldn't be that Israel doesn't give a shit about equal rights, being a fascist ethnostate themselves, surely. This isn't a "both sides" situation, Israel is clearly the aggressor, and no good can possibly come from this.
It's interesting that your instinct is to assume some level of good faith on Israel's part. Perhaps you should examine that?
The standard of violence is set by the oppressor. It's a clear double standard that you speak charitably about Israel's attacks on civilians immediately before dismissing others for theirs. Not to mention the massive difference in scale.
We've been far closer to WWIII in the past.
Iran is not (enough of) a Russian ally.
Iran has been helping Israel's enemies—Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Assad gang—and chanting "Death to Israel" (and "Death to America") for decades. When it comes to needlessly killing Arabs, I'm not sure who's worse: US or Iran.
I don't really: at least not these past several years.
Perhaps I should.
2 wrongs don't make a right.
You might have an argument there: the legitimate-targets-to-innocent-civilian ratio of Hamas on 7 October 2023 versus Israel's response.
Your whole position is that Iran's wrongs justify Israel.
