        Right now its hard not to see them in a good light based on their targeting, the things they’re saying and the things they’re doing.

        That cannot be said for the americans.

          Victims can always be bad guys. A burglar that gets shot by police is a victim, but still a criminal. That does not make him a good guy. Just that he did not deserve to get shot, only arrested.

          Saying otherwise is just tribalism and human nature forcing an us vs them narrative.

          The US and Israel uses that to their advantage, as does Iran, the Saudi, the UAE, Quatar, British Empire. They count on it in fact to get support for the bad things they do.

          Regarding legal targets for the war, its worth nothing that none of the participants have ratified the Rome Statute that would allow for them to be prosecuted for war crimes in the ICC.

            A burglar getting shot is not a victim, nor Iran is a burglar on any context. A more accurate analogy would be the US being a burglar that shoots the family of the house theyre robbing. The family shooting back the burglar in no way makes the burglar a victim.
