No, it doesn’t SEEM fair. Do you want to kill the tax credit for R and D? The carry forward for past years that weren’t profitable? The depreciation allowed for building new factories? Is the answer to right wing populism left wing populism?

You have a valid point but why say Israel pays the IOC? No country pays the IOC. The IOC pays the countries by selling broadcast rights.

The antisemitism (Jews: sneaky, conspiracy, monied) pushes so many would-be allies away.

You average a pro-Iran post every 1.5 weeks for the 3.5 months I went back. You’re a paid shill, not a real community member. Nice work getting this many followers.

Ohhhh….you’re a paid troll for Iran. I was confused but now everything tracks.

What does “murder isn’t criticism” mean?

The penalty for changing your religion is death. The penalty for assembly to address your government is death. The penalty for doctors who treated wounded protesters is imprisonment (and we’ll see…maybe torture or death).

Some conflate moral shortcomings (USA and west has many) with moral equivalency (no government critic would rather live in Iran than in the West).

I don’t think your post will age well when the videos come out. If there is one thing we learned from Minnesota: when everyone has a camera, useful idiots who repeat the party line in the early days…not a good look

To write this post the same day you also post “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” is a level of contradiction or self deception that I am unable to comprehend.

Your logic is impeccable. Government kills civilians at scale. Blacks out internet to make it difficult for accurate figures to emerge. Outside groups take a guess that is unlikely to be accurate but is a better guess than believing the regime. Those groups are at fault as Western groups.

Iran “may have carried out one of the worst state-sanctioned massacres of unarmed civilians anywhere in nearly a half century” NYT…but according the heartbreaking replies below, the real danger is other countries medaling. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/o...

Im a Jew and former Zionist trying to convince my family to abandon Zionism. The not-so-subtle antisemitism, like this OP, from the anti Zionist movement makes it so much harder. This must be how politically conservative gay folks feel when they support the policies of group that disdains them.

I neither support Israel nor their repression. It’s heartbreaking.

I know it when I see it: the not so subtle suggestion of a conspiracy….the notion of dual loyalties and duplicity…I’m just more used to seeing it from the right.

I am also against colonialism, but to say, “yeah, they’re hunting down protestors in hospitals, but at least it’s home-grown oppression”….these are obviously people who only ever lived in places where no government hunted protesters in hospitals. What is wrong with you people (bots?)

You speak for Jews?

If they are never charged, are you sure you want your federal government publicly releasing their names and emails? Take that precedent to its logical conclusion under this regime.

I can’t BELIEVE I agree with Blanche. Where is the libertarian left? There is no guilt by association and I don’t want the federal government to publicly release the names of people who hang out with criminals. I feel like everyone on my side has lost their mind and is channeling Alex Jones.

It is 100% a slur in this context. It was added after the fact to a headline to imply that there was something untoward about the person who kept the cables secret, as if by conspiracy. Substitute any other religion or race into that headline … are you comfortable?
