seriously, this level of ignorance and lack of basic understanding is remarkable. The entire world has been literally making fun of Germany (mostly to overcome the feeling of disgust) for starting every statement regarding Iran with “Iran must” -“do this and that” -
Putting aside the absolute smugness and sheer stupidity and hypocrisy of these statements, there are now probably thousands of literal memes (“must” also happens to mean yoghurt in Farsi) circulating the internets pointing out this German government’s absolute disregard for international law and it’s utterly absurd and unnecessary statements about this conflict - but Hans-Peter, in charge of Germany’s social media presence since 1977, apparently hasn’t received the fax about Iran not giving a flying fuck about Germany’s rogue government yet.
To the Canadian Prime Minister who, instead of condemning U.S. blatant aggression and warmongering, chose to appease Washington by reframing a threat to "annihilate" Iran as merely "speaking the language of war":
Mark Carney must understand that time is too ruthless to let the shelter of illusion & hypocrisy endure forever. A day will surely dawn when those who sought refuge in the long shadow of American bullying—believing that mimicking the language of the mighty could shield them from the claws of power—will stand bare before the truth. They will learn, too late, that averting their eyes from reality and bartering away their dignity and self-respect buys no salvation. It only strips them naked, leaving them utterly defenseless before the very force that demands their submission.
Perhaps, in that hour of reckoning, they will look upon Iran and finally comprehend. They will see that the nation they once conspired with empires to crush was the solitary guardian of a sacred flame. By standing unyielding against coercion, it kept a torch burning in the dark—a torch that, if allowed to die, would leave humanity with nothing but the cold embrace of naked force, burying the civilized and humane altars of reason beneath the brutal logic of might.

If you’re a progressive who supports Palestine it’s fine.
If you’re a Muslim who supports Palestine you’re automatically Hamas. The Islamophobic tropes are clear. Mamdani has never supported Hamas or said anything antisemitic.
Netanyahu on the other hand is an anti Arab bigot.
After spending several minutes attacking the mayor of New York City, Netanyahu brandishes a weapon his assassination department used for a massive terror attack
