    What group currently calling Jihad against Israel has not openly recieved funding from the Iranian state, going back to 1992?

    The answer is none. Every group calling for Jihad and Jewish genocide in the region has received monetary support from Iran.

    Why is that?

      Because Israel and Iran are enemies and have been in a state of semi-war for ages? And because Israel is an Apartheid state whose raison d’etre is ethnic cleansing?

          Literally yes. The state of anti-Semitism in the middle east is a direct cause result of Israeli Apartheid.

              Uh yes? Iran is oppressive as fuck, but yeah they’re not an Apartheid state, and hell even if they were. At least Iranian women get citizenship and the right to a fair-ish trial.

                  Man we have a genocide going on in Gaza.

                  Admittedly I don’t know much about the state of Kurds in Iran, but again we have a literal genocide in Gaza. What little I have read doesn’t mention anything that intense in Iran.

          Talking about the “initial fault” in this conflict is moot. We’re at a point, where both sides can reasonably point to some events in the past and blame the other side for the conflict.

          Fact is, Iran is a theocratic dictatorship and its allies are religious fanatic militias, while Israel is a liberal democracy, supported by pretty much all of The West™. Of course the expectations towards Israel regarding human rights and international law are slightly higher. And let’s be honest, what Israel is doing right now is certainly not helping calming the situation, or even making long term peace.

                Iran is authoritarian and theocratic, and the people there don’t love that.

                I feel like one of these things is worse than the other. indefensibly, past the fucking moral event horizon, ‘kill them all and then shoot the bodies to make sure they’re dead’ levels of worse.

                world war three isn’t, like, acceptable. theres no defense for that sjit, especially with some of the military hardware they now have.

            but iranisnt trying to start world war three, and they aren’t trying to do a genocide, so theyre the sensible allies here.

            unless you want a global thermonuclear war. then by all means; back the Zionist terror forces.

            I don’t know if I fully buy that argument.

            If somebody supports Israel, they are supporting a genocide based on perceived land needs of the Israeli people.

            If somebody supports Palestine, they are supporting a genocide based on the outright extermination of the Jewish people, funded by Iran and Qatar.

            I don’t think we can get anywhere unless all of us as leftists acknowledge that the Jews of Israel will be in the same position the people of Palestine are in right now if we don’t thread the needle of support and guess what? We are not fucking threading that needle.

                  they’re not concerned about antisemitism if they’re equating Jewish identity with a genocidal fascist apocalypse cult that draws protocols of the elders of Zion fan art on everyone’s maps.

      if the kapostanis stopped saying every Jew is aligned with them, or people stopped listening to them, I’m sure there would be a lot less antisemitism.

      the problem is the Zionist genocide orcs. its always the Zionist genocide orcs scrawling 'protocols of the elders og zionc fan art on our maps, then defending themselves from the things they’re doing from the boom they’re using as a checklist by saying we’re just accusing them because its in an old dumb czarist book. which they’re using as a checklist.
