A Priest, Pierre Al-Rai, known for his objection to Hezbolla & support for peace, was killed by Israeli forces when he rushed to help his injured parishioners in Southern Lebanon.
Attacking unarmed civilians who provide medical aid to the injured is a war crime.

The Iranian womenβs soccer team is in danger, and many are asking Australia to give them shelter to save them from detention and potential execution in Iran for the crime of not singing the national anthem before one of their matches. What a sequence of words to have to write.

Vinay became a caricature of himself, rode that into governmental leadership, and realized the error of his ways
Let's hope he returns to the competent and harmless contrarian now that this is over
Unless he is rehired for a 3rd time

Farce, Again?
Some preliminary thoughts on the US-Israeli strikes on Iran
Important piece from Hussein Banai on how to reconcile the monstrosity of the regime in Iran, and the lack of good intentions of those who may defeat it - by insisting that if that happens - the agency of the courageous Iranian people in restructuring their future must be ensured. Simple.
