Jesus Christ guys, seriously pretending like Iran are good guys is just nuts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (1 child) Obviously not but the wording make it out that Iran's attacked is "unprecedented" against Israel, despite being retaliatory, and Israel didn't "attack" Iran but rather "responded". I'm certainly not implying Iran is "good" but journalism is already telling you who is "innocent". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago Right? Like we all saw that Iran was going to for tat, and their attack was pretty much neutralized. At this point Israel is just accelerating the conflict. I don't want to believe our media is biased either, but like let's take a moment and remember that we've been told the reason Iran and the Taliban hate us is because we have and love freedom. Like seriously, take a moment if you were alive and conscious in 2003 and what messaging we got then. It's so stupid. permalink fedilink source parent
