The U.S. killed more schoolchildren in one strike, on the first day of the war, than Iran has killed including combatants and civilians over the entire six months. It's complete insanity to frame them as equal.
If the Islamic Republic of Iran was truly evil, it would not be at war with the United States and Israel. It would be a firm ally of both those entities.
It is true that Iran has a level of domestic dissent. I know that from personal experience, because I have attended anti-government demonstrations in Tehran as an observer of the actions of both the protesters and the security forces, and I can say with confidence that militant protest demonstrations are tolerated by the regime so long as they stop short of physical violence.
We also know that when dissent erupted into violence early this year, it was incited and directed by the CIA and Mossad. One of the reasons we know that is because Donald Trump has demanded reparations for US troops killed or injured in the course of the war against Iran, and also for the insurrectionists who died in the February conflict. That was a clear acknowledgement that the insurrectionists were US assets. You don't demand reparations for someone else's losses.
It remains the case that public opinion in Iran is deeply divided between groups that I term the "Khameneis" on the one hand and the "Kardashians" on the other, and at times the conflict manifests in violence. But it is worth noting that less than 4000 died on both sides in the disturbances of early this year. Compare that with the 700,000 who died in the US civil war.
Those like myself who have actually lived in Iran and who don't have any loyalty to the iniquitous Pahlavi dynasty are able to see through the barrage of anti-Iranian propaganda in western media such as the Guardian.
Given that the west has been trying to strangle Iran to death since 1953, and arguably long before that, Iran is a remarkably open society which tolerates a greater range of political opinion than anything that I have seen in the west. An Iranian victory is vital for the future peace and security of the world in the face of the criminally insane behavior of Trump, Netanyahu, Hegseth, Rubio and all their henchmen. Those on the left who choose this moment to attack Iran are doing the work of Trump and Netanyahu, and they know it.
A big part of the approx. 4000 deaths was instigated by CIA and Mossad agents who were among the protester. Pompeo and an Israeli TV channel or one of its officials also said that CIA and Mossad were present during the uprising. The violence demonstrated by the "anti-government" protesters was extremely barbaric. They beheaded police officers and set them on fire. Another indicator of the type of barbaric violence only Israelis are capable.
As we watch Israel's genocide in real time, as we understand more about what the Epstein class does, as we learn more about the illegal, unprovoked war against Iran, these people defend the western empire?
It needs to come crashing down, and we ordinary people have to learn to see things through a lens of justice and not loyalty to empire, and figure out how to compensate all those who have been wronged.
We also have to figure out how to look after ourselves and each other while the empire disintegrates.
Thank you for this latest column -and all the others as well. Each time I read your publication I become more depressed and more hopeful at the same time. If only every human being on earth could be exposed to such writing , we might have a chance of getting out of this mind prison that most of our governments and cultures keep us in.
It wont change this Propaganda has been force fed, ingrained and digested in the world
psyche for centuries and has been accepted as facts and the Truth ,since these racially Superior folks left their own Homeland to go Discover other non Europeans in their own land all over the globe.
Winston CHURCHILL::
I do not apologize for take over of the region by the Jews from the Palestinians, in the same way I don't apologize for the Whites taking over America from the Red Indians, or the takeover of Australia from the Blacks.
Its natural for a superior race to Dominate and Inferior one.
It's ironic that if the majority of sheeple would just follow the Golden Rule, instead of PEDOE Pastors & Priests who are Govt Approved by the Rothschilds-Epstein Class, we might just figure out how to FIX problems like Homelessness in the USA, or Medical Bankruptcy, or Private Prisons Slave Labor...
The Rothschilds-Epstein Class uses some religions & their Authority Figures to control the Goy Peasant Breeders & Canonfodder Soldiers. How many Rothschilds Kids have PTSD from doing 3 tours of duty on a US Naval ship, with 6" of sh!t in the latrine and surviving on moldy bread and rancid "meat?" This is the SAME US Navy that has a War Dept "Budget" of 1.5 TRILLION Dollars- and Trump wants MORE.
Btw, Barron Trump is EXEMPT from Military service because he is TOO TALL. He is 6'7" and the height limit for a recruit is 6'8." So...President Bone Spurs murders 165 Iranian school girls as a blood sacrifice for Mizz Izzy, but luckily Barron Trump wont have to worry his pretty lil' knowing about it. No PTSD or homeless, drug addict Vet-life for Barron! Whew!
WHO are Americans, Australians, Canadians and Europeans NOT ALLOWED to criticize?
Americans can say the most vile thing about Russia, China, England, France,etc. Americans can say anything they want about the USA!
BUT - Americans and Westerners are NOT allowed to criticize One Special Sparkle Princess Country who is the #1 SAFE HAVEN FOR PEDOES- FACT.
In the USA, using the "pedoe slur" is considered an Antisemitic Comment. Umm, so... Zionists are just admitting that they either abuse or PROTECT child abusers?
Wow... and the Good Goy Sheeple at their Good Goy Church go, "Bahhhh," and bow their heads.
It isn't our religious neighbors who are the problem... Look Up.
It's the Rot at the Top.
The Rothschilds-Epstein Class is building Our CAGE and Their new workforce...
Thank you Caitlin. Many people and myself think this u.s./israel Genocide of Palestine was the precursor to global population control of life and death. Touch a button and kill 5 million eaters in one area, touch a button and force millions to buy a product. War what is it good for absolutely nothing except profit : (
In my 86 years I have often found that those who profess to no religion, are so very often much more Christian in their actions and attitude towards others, while those self pofessed religious ones are hard on everyone and without an act of kindness for anyone. And the "born agains" so full of themselves that they want to pray over you- although the reason they came to your door had nothing whatsoever to do with religion.

I often wonder which race he thought of as superior, because to me, their actions are so often inferior.
For all the 'herd followers;' get a life and try helping the world become better.

We cannot generalize. Many religious people are good people. Just to name one, Cardinal Pizzaballa (but he sure isn't the only one).
In my 86 years I have often found that those who profess to no religion, are so very often much more Christian in their actions and attitude towards others, while those self pofessed religious ones are hard on everyone and without an act of kindness for anyone.
