That's a good thing; Iran is evil in case you forgot
- hostile reminder that government != people of a given country
  
  there is some opposition, not much, and you won't hear from them a lot because communications out of the country are tightly controlled and iranian security apparatus is on the more hostile end of scale, but there is something. iranian emigrants tend to be pretty liberal
  
  I've worked with a few Iranians during college and grad school and they were all awesome people. I just with the government if their home country wasn't evil and create the need for them to escape
- Ah you mean the Iran that was doing perfectly well and was a beacon of progressiveness until the United States overthrew their democratically elected government in the 50s?
  
  It is not the argument if they were evil before the US intervened
  
  You can not change the past and currently they are a oppresive religious dictatorship
  
  The Shah had his secret police making people disappear and using torture. He was not a beacon of anything.
  
  Ahhh, yes, let's dig up events from 70 years ago as justification for their current behavior!
- I'm with you on that.
  
  The US' support for Israel is disgusting but...this is not an example of it. Can't even imagine what would follow if all their bombs landed but I know it wouldn't be good for the world even if Israel deserves it.
  
  Israel deserves innocent civilians to be killed?
- The fact that you can seriously call a country "evil" means you are stupid.
  
  Let's keep the conversation civil and on an adult to adult level, please. i.e., assume that the other commenter is arguing in good faith. Universal warning, my Universal Soldiers.
This meme transcends races. There are many Black Israelite political groups in the US and they don't like Israel, either, in fact, they want to move in on/annex territory from whoever lives there, because they think they're the true inheritors. It will never be sorted out for anyone, so let's meme instead. Detente through superior visual jokes.
Naah don't represent Israel as a black dude. They'll say that you're antisemitic or something
- There are black jews so its ok.
  
  Yeah, about that and being ok... "Israel gave birth control to Ethiopian Jews without their consent"
  
  "Israel has admitted for the first time that it has been giving Ethiopian Jewish immigrants birth-control injections, often without their knowledge or consent."
  
  "The drug in question is thought to be Depo-Provera, which is injected every three months and is considered to be a highly effective, long-lasting contraceptive."
  
  "Nearly 100,000 Ethiopian Jews have moved to Israel under the Law of Return since the 1980s, but their Jewishness has been questioned by some rabbis. Last year, the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who also holds the health portfolio, warned that illegal immigrants from Africa “threaten our existence as a Jewish and democratic state”.
  
  "The government had previously denied the practice but the Israeli Health Ministry’s director-general has now ordered gynaecologists to stop administering the drugs."
- What, you wanna do them a favor or something?
