Iran are very clever
Their ‘attack’ is being portrayed by certain people/groups as if they’re doing this FOR Gaza
It’s basically a great PR opportunity to win over many naive and emotionally volatile Muslims who will see this as Iran defending Gaza
“Wow! at least Iran is attacking Israel meanwhile Sunni states blah blah blah”
But in reality, none of this has anything to do with helping Gaza
And remember, you can’t separate the motivation from the action
Understanding WHY Iran is doing this is important and shouldn’t be ignored
Iran isn’t doing this for the sake of Gaza, it’s doing it for itself. Now I’m not here to say if that’s right or wrong, but it’s important we don’t paint this as some ‘attack’ for the freedom of Gaza - because it’s not that.
Think of it like this
Imagine There’s a hooligan outside my house throwing bricks at an old lady for 190 days
But for those 190 days I do nothing, even though I know the old lady is getting attacked every single day
Until one day, the hooligan throws a brick through my window
Then and only then do I go out and smack the hooligan
The public see this and cheer “wow look at that man! He hit the hooligan so he could save the lady from being attacked!”
When in reality, if the hooligan hadn’t thrown the brick through my window, I’d still just be sat around whilst he chucks bricks at the old lady. I only hit him because he damaged my property, I didn’t care about the old lady. If I did, I’d have done something the previous 190 days that she was being attacked
And Obviously I won’t correct people who think I did this to help the old lady, because it makes me look good!
I am Iran, the hooligan is Israel, and Gaza is the old lady
