You don’t have to love the theocracy to understand Iran is the victim, not the aggressor, and that Israeli and US lies are being used to justify attacks against and isolation of the Iranian people. Iran is not the axis of evil, it just hasn’t been a US ally since it overthrew the US-imposed Shah.

People are in for a rude awakening if they think most "assaults on police officers" are real. We've seen teenagers charged with felonies for tapping police chiefs. A cop can start a brawl with you, throw you to the ground, and then charge you with assault. This is America.

Despite the disavowals, we know the Israeli military is intentionally starving Gaza as a means of committing genocide. How do we know? Because they are doing the same thing to Palestinian prisoners—as documented by Jonathan Pollak, whose friend Nidal Hameel is being intentionally starved to death.
