I'm increasingly confused by my stance on this whole situation now.

I saw the people holding signs yesterday with a picture of Ali Khamenei and the slogan 'choose the right side of history' and instantly thought they were ****ing idiots. Nothing about the regime in Iran is the right side of history. But then the current Israeli government certainly isn't the right side of history, the US acting as world police isn't either and Hamas claims are somewhat flimsy as well.

It's a 4 way fight now with none of the main players as the good guys. Even in the nuanced world of geopolitics there is usually one 'side' that is the least bad. Sadly the biggest victims will, as always, be the innocents on all sides (probably excluding the US unless some cannon fodder is sent in).
