Harrowing first-hand accounts of women being dragged from the streets of Iran and detained by security services have emerged as human rights groups say country’s hijab rules have been brutally enforced since the country’s drone strikes on Israel on 13 April.

A new campaign, called Noor (“light” in Persian), was announced the same day the Iranian regime launched drone attacks against Israel, to crack down on “violations” of the country’s draconian hijab rules, which dictate that all women must cover their heads in public.

Hours later, videos verified by human rights groups showing women and girls being forcefully arrested by agents of the notorious Gasht-e-Irshad (“morality police”) flooded social media along with stories of beatings and assault.

These are the people that the leftists want to continue to govern Gaza and the West Bank... sickening.

I doubt anyone wants the people of Gaza to be under thumb of a religious fundamentalist regime.

And I don't think anyone wants them to get murdered by Israel either.

Generally I'd say those are two things I wouldn't want for anyone.

"These are the people" makes it sound you are generalizing an entire group of people because of the actions of a few. I'm sure you'd also feel how sickening it is to suffer prejudice because someone of your ethnicity or religion is an abuser or a pedophile. Food for thought!

Eh, I’ve seen people on here claiming Oct 7 was a valid act of resistance. That’s supporting the Iranian government by proxy.

Israel killed most of the people on Oct 7th with their own helicopters.

Yeah and fire can’t melt steel beams. I’d buy a few friendly fire incidents, but “most”? You’re a loon.

I'm a loon. Sure, we'll see. Also, the conspiracy theory is "jet fuel can't melt steel beams." Take a look into the Hannibal directive, if you haven't already.

Show me a link of helicopters gunning down "most" of the Oct victims and you're not a loon. Otherwise, you a loon. Don't make shit up.

You read wtf I wrote. Hannibal directive.

Edit: ask yourself why they buried all of the cars involved in October 7th. If

Nothing you’ve linked shows that most of the deaths were inflicted by friendly fire, let alone helicopters.

You’re not worth engaging with.

And you're not worth being engaged to.
