Iran: Security forces used rape and other sexual violence to crush “Woman Life Freedom” uprising with impunity

--As an aside, it really is a tragedy how the western so-called progressive left has completely abandoned Iranian women opposing the regime for their insane human rights violations; because they view the IRI as fellow travelers in their goal to destroy Western civilization.

It isn't even a giant surprise Victor doesn't know basic realities about IRI human rights violations, as the western press has mainly a "see no evil, hear no evil" policy when it comes to the IRI.

And now that he does know, I have no doubt he will just hand waive away this behavior, be completely indifferent, and still perceive the IRI as "based" because they are trying to destroy Israel and the US.

thats really bad. I dont think that that gives Israel the right to do war and genocide and rape though.

I was talking about the motivation for the wall and its effect, not what people hoped the effect would be. The effect has been less contact between ordinary Israelis and ordinary Palestinians. The alienation has made dehumanization easier. It makes peace harder.

Exactly what Hamas intended when it bombed the crossings.

I don't think Hamas leadership wants peace anymore than Netanyahu does.

weird, bc they keep saying they want peace and agreeing to cease-fire deals.

‘Death sentence’: Asbestos released by Israel’s bombs will kill for decades

'Peace walls' are and have long been a thing in Northern Ireland, particularly in Belfast. They're mainly now tourist attractions, covered with decorative murals, which American visitors like to take pictures of and shake their heads at, but they're still there, because people worry about what might happen if they weren't when a riot kicked off.

Of course the difference in Northern Ireland versus the West Bank is that the people on both sides are citizens with full and equal civil rights.

That just means they want the Israelis to give them a breather while they rebuild their capability.

convenient

I have a feeling Sinwar's plan is to hold out as long as he can and then eventually off himself in an underground bunker Hitler-style.
