AltMedia
This community is a mirror of the AltMedia subreddit at https://old.reddit.com/r/AltMedia.
Until January 2nd, 2025 the 'WorldNews` subreddit, with 40 million users automatically subscribed, had an 'Israel at War' livethread constantly at the top.
This community was founded to dissent from this forced perspective, and present the Palestinian and anti-establishment position in general.
This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearsheimer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.

Oh the sweet Iranians in power, so nice.
/s
If Iran wouldn't have repeatedly publicly claimed their aim was to nuke Israel out of existance, maybe Israel wouldn't have bombed their soon to be ready nuclear facility and top management?
If we are going by public claims, then Iran is a saint compared to Israel. So then going by the claims of top israeli government officials, what fate would be, by your standard, justified to befall the Israelies?
Public claims?
Read a history book and stop your whataboutism.
So which one of the 250000 wars and genocides by usa and its military outpost should we talk about?
Am currently reading. That of course has nothing to do with the topic. Yes public claims. This is also not whataboutism, it just shows nicely that you are a hypocrite. Whataboutism would be me saying to disregard one because of other, Im saying that yes one is bad, but of course the other is so much worse. Lets stay consistent.
If Iran were to obtain a nuclear weapon, it would stabilize the Middle East by providing a deterrent for Israel's psychopathic aggression and malice. They are the only powerful country actively supporting Palestinians in their resistance to this aggression. Everyone should support Iran and its nuclear ambitions.
Hoping a theocratic dictatorship will "stabilise" anything is like saying that if we kill everyone there will ve peace.
Edit: "if the nazi germany had nukes it would have stabilised europe"
No it isn't. And by the way "If we kill everyone there will be peace" is the essential, core ideology of Zionism.
Aaah okaaay! That clears it up then...
Propagandised beast or paid agent?
Wrong again, free person living in a democracy.
You do it for free?!
Protecting democracy all day every day, for free.
So you're paid?
Is this satire?
Why?
Its a bit amusing.
Thinking war is amusing, what a douche.
Lol, your inability to keep to the topic is. What were we talking about?
Let's ignore our opinions of Iran and look at JUST the media coverage.
Was Israel widely condemned for bombing Iran and killing a hundred civilians? No, not at all. It was framed as a justifiable preemptive strike.
Was Iran widely condemned for responding to the unprompted attack? Yes, absolutely. How dare they retaliate!
If someone publicly repeated that they were going to murder you, you're not magically justified in murdering them first.
The "civilians":
Oh yeah, I forgot about those precision missiles Israel has that hits an apartment building but only kills military targets.
Israel isn't Ukraine. They don't give a shit about collateral damage.
