      What about this post then? Why didn’t OP take that stance when making this post? Why are you just not directing your whataboutism at me?

        “You shouldn’t be cheering either of them” is the whole point of the post. If I saw people suddenly being pro-Israel, the meme would be about them. I only saw people cheering Iran, hence the meme.

          is the whole point

          Dissenting against supporters of Iran doesn’t automatically assume the position of dissenters against Israel. Supporters of Israel could also share that sentiment.

          Let’s not forget that Israel fired at Iran first this go around

            The Israel stans are gone buddy, at least from the places I personally frequent. Iran stans are present and accounted for, see how controversial this post has become.

            If I saw people suddenly become pro-Israel and start full throatedly defend that country, the meme I posted would reflect that.
