    I haven't seen the right screaming when there's Republican legislators passing anti-BDS legislation all over. That's the purest form of censorship targeting primarily people on the…

    I get what you're saying but the other side of the coin is maybe the society at large is rejecting them. And they need to understand that they're not guaranteed an audience, If the…

    I feel like non encrypted messengers like Telegram/Discord/Zoom shouldn't even be in the running here as alternatives.

    You're right. The US has a history of supporting death squads all over the world for over 70 years, longer then the Islamic Republic even exists. The fact that ISIS celebrated his …

    The fact that they don't like or trust the US does not mean they also don't want peace. If your idea of peace however is the US antagonizing in the region, (Iran's backyard if you …
