Leftists in the U.S. are seriously confused. While Iranians around the world celebrate the death of the thuggish Ayatollah Khamanei, who ruled their country with an iron fist, liberals in the U.S. are condemning President Donald Trump’s war to liberate the Persian nation.
Opposition to the U.S.-Israel joint attack on Iran was broad and swift, powered in part by Trump Derangement Syndrome — if he’s behind it, they’re reliably against it — and also tinged with antisemitism.
The smoke had not yet cleared from the bombings in Iran before Democrats started shrieking their objections, with Connecticut Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy, for instance, calling it ‘dangerously illegal and a mistake of staggering scale,’ and denouncing the president as a ‘would-be dictator.’ Murphy has also called Israel’s policy in Gaza and in the West Bank ‘immoral’, and recently announced that he would not support additional military aid to Israel.
Anti-Israel Democrats in the House were especially strident, with ‘Squad’ member Rashida Tlaib from Michigan posting, ‘It’s clear that the genocidal govt of Israel doesn’t care about children + human life including our own loved ones in the military.’ She also posted, ‘The government of Israel is addicted to bombing hospitals, schools, refugee camps which are all war crimes.’
