soon as the whole middle east is one heap of rubble, burnt to the ground, isra-el will capture it all and build its wanted greater-isra-el on it. they want land all the way to euphrates and they will get it, even if it costs all American and middle eastern young men (and women).

The CENTCOM air strikes against Iran were not done at the behest of Israel. They were done to protect American interests on the world stage. Iran was a Chinese asset: 90% of its oil went to China, and Iran opposes US interests in the region. It also killed many Americans and vowed to do it again. It threatened to block US access to oil. Iran had to be taken out. It was a victory for the USA, and it also happened to liberate millions of Iranians from brutal Islamic tyranny.

All Americans should be celebrating this historic shift of the balance of power in favor of the USA, but apparently Tucker Carlson and groypers would prefer to take the side of Leftists and one of the USA's greatest enemies, Iran -- the country that screamed "Death to America!" for 47 years, held Americans hostage, and murdered American servicemen. Amazing.

This goes way beyond the legitimate argument for American isolationism, which can be rationally debated (it stands in opposition to the Monroe Doctrine). Antizionism is irrational and emotion-driven. It is definitely not pro-American when it ends up taking sides against the USA in this case. This is not another "forever war" like Iraq; this was a strategic air strike to decapitate the leadership of an enemy of the USA. Trump gets that the USA needs to be dominant on the world stage because bad actors -- namely China -- are engaged in asymmetric warfare against the USA. Taking out Iran was a blow to China.

The Leftist responses to the Iran strike have made so-called "progressives" Leftists who opposed it (like Ilhan Omar and Mamdani) lose all credibility (like they had any to begin with). They are now actively siding with absolute evil. This is also true of Carlson and groypers. Taking the side of some of the most evil tyrants in world history just to indulge some anti-Israel obsession is not a good look.

The reference to human trafficker Epstein is emblematic of the groyper conspiracy theory that he worked for Mossad. No declassified files or official reports released confirm an operational link, but meanwhile, the allegation is repeated ad nauseam as a way to libel Israel. Tucker Carlson falsely alleges that Israel discriminates against Christians but ignores the fact that Iran systematically persecutes Christians while Israel has more freedom of religion than any country in the region.

Anti-Jewish bias today takes on the more socially acceptable form of anti-Zionism, but it is typically not a legitimate criticism of the policies of the state of Israel; it's just a veiled way to blame Jews for everything. For example, the fiction that Jews created socialism. Socialism arose out of the French Revolution and 19th-century anti-capitalism, a response to the high social cost of industrialization. The first socialists were Utopian thinkers Robert Owen, Henri de Saint-Simon, and Charles Fourier (none Jewish, all of Christian background). Yet somehow, socialism gets blamed on all Jews because a few thinkers like Marx or Adorno happened to have that ancestry. They also happen to be men, so should men as a whole be blamed? Antisemitism is no more legitimate than misandry.

Millions of easily deceived people believed lies defaming Israel because scapegoating Jews satisfies a dark unconscious desire to blame a high-profile minority, providing a simple explanation for complex problems. This is why those who blame Israel have a double standard whereby they ignore Islamist violence and discrimination, though it is far more egregious than anything done by Israel. To employ a Girardian analysis, identifying the "Zionist entity" as the primary source of global injustice, disparate groups (who might otherwise hate each other, e.g., Leftists, Islamists, groypers) can find a miraculous consensus. For Leftists and Islamists, casting the Jewish state as the ultimate villain, they can project their own sins onto Israel, allowing them to feel purified and morally redeemed. Groypers fall for this as well, despite claiming to defend the West. In reality, they are helping those who would tear down the West.

If you support the USA and MAGA, you will understand that this was a huge win for the USA. The people to mock are the Leftists who take the side of Iran, like Ilhan Omar. There are actually some pretty good memes on that.
