Let's be very clear here:

One party is the USA and Israel raining death on Iran, and the other party is innocent Iranians dying in said rain.

@gomp@lemmy.ml thinks "neither party deserves any good luck."

Wars are by definition conflicts between states, so the parties are obviously US and Israel on side and Iran on the other.

Of course you are free to use the term "war" with whatever made-up meaning best suits your narration (the US have been doing it at least since 9/11), but please respect the people who correctly use the dictionary meaning and don't put words in their mouth.

Also, you shouldn't jump to conclusions and accuse anyone of war crimes (or any other crime) unless there is proof. Yes, this also applies to people who have shown not to be above committing or supporting actual genocide.

If you allow yourself to throw around baseless accusations out of spite, then you can't complain when the MAGA imbeciles do the same (and you are better than they are, or aren't you?)
