    There is concept on the left called “critical support” it broadly means we agree with that one thing you are doing, but we also do not agree with other things.

    In this case we can say: For sure killing LGBTQ+ people is not good, but striking a country that is currently carrying out a genocide is a good thing.

    P.S. if you have better source for critical support please send.

      Iran’s not shooting missiles in defense of Palestine, just in retaliation for Israel shooting at them.

      But there’s certainly a level of “oh, is blowing up an apartment building a bad thing? Then WTF have you doing???”

        And why is Israel shooting at Iran? Maybe because Iran is geopolitically opposed to the naziest state in this century, and that’s an awesome thing in and out of itself?

        Good point, I still think that no matter (for this case at least) why are they doing it for, they are opposing Israel, and that is a good thing.
