He is using a language that was mainly developed by Israeli and has Israeli on its core team, this is a flimsy excuse not to merge a PR. Laravele itself probably already has Israeli contributors too…

Doesn't change that people will be able to use this against him in the future, perhaps violently.

Meanwhile, no one here would even think of violating US export controls against North Korea... when the consequences are likely just prison time. Armchair tough guys.

Iran is repressive, and fraught with problems, but it's not a dictatorship. There's a reasonably intricate bureaucracy, much of which is semi-democratic: for example, the supreme leader's preferred presidential candidate doesn't always win. The current president, Rouhani, is a moderate, and is not especially liked by the hard-liners. It's pretty crazy that your comment comparing it to North Korea and insinuating that…

How does this work considering PHP is heavily made up of code from Zend (which was an Israeli company) Can Iranian-built websites not use PHP?

If that's not enough, the "investigators" will create the "evidence" or find "witnesses" who can claim you've said/done horrible* things so they can quickly handle the punishment. Astute observers will see s…

The circular dependency was seeded by supreme leader. If A = B & B = C Then A = C. He hand picks the nominees for presiden…

So is US. Last time I checked it was not possible for an outsider (third party candidate) to participate in US election. Forgot about outsider, look what they did to Bernie Sanders. Both 2016 and 2020. Should I explain more? Let alone third party candidates like Jill Stein. You have really bought the brand of bs the media is selling you don’t you?
