The same is true of Palestinians and Hamas though: https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/03/22/poll-hamas-remains-popular-among-palestinians/

So weird, how people rally to support those attacking the people who've recently done them grievous harm.

There are tons of anti-war protests in Israel. You're just not hearing about them because you don't bother to look.

Yeah, unfortunately Lemmy is a magnet for far leftists and anti-American extremists. It’s got the opposite problem of some other social media platforms.

I don’t mind it at the end of the day. They make themselves pretty obvious, and once you realize what they are, they’re pretty pathetic.

I named one. Now you’re on about something else entirely. Go back to IS, troll.

Which were all prompted by 9/11 and various other terrorist attacks on the U.S. and its allies.

You can trace the line of cause and effect back as far as you want. Who you think are the “good guys” be the “bad guys” in this will always be biased.

Perhaps. On the other hand, conservatives love supporting Israel and attacking Muslims, so maybe that'll balance things out? Regardless, I don't an increase in oil prices will tip the scales anywhere near as much as direct U.S. military involvement would. It's a complex calculus.

The point is that by directly attacking Israel, Iran already has opened that warfront.

Directly attack Israel and it will directly attack back?

I don't think Bibi's choices will affect the U.S. election, only if Biden chooses to get American forces directly involved, which is not what's happening.

To cripple a country that is actively supporting terrorists? Less oil revenue significantly hampers Iran's ability to support terrorism around the Middle East.

Anyone else notice Stacey only has four fingers on her right hand?

Temporary ceasefire = "Okay, we finished our turn of attacks, now pause while we resupply, only we get to attack, not you!"

You’re the one demonstrating it.

I can't help someone with such a tiny worldview.

Which actions are you speaking of, specifically?

Canada.

No one is forcing Iran’s dictators to remain dictators. They could become benevolent leaders or simply flee the nation. Israel gains relatively little from creating a power vacuum in Iran that will likely just be filled by another Israel-hating regime. They gain much more by destroying Ming the current regime’s ability to attack Israel.
