I think there’s a little bit of conflation happening in terms of the demographics each of us is trying to talk about.
The conversations I’m talking about are pre-war, when there wasn’t even hint of the US or Israel attacking Iran. Some of these people are very new to my city at the time, they moved less than a year ago. They are currently devastated at what is happening to their home country.
The girls school was definitely bombed by the US and Israel. That is undeniable fact and anyone who wants to deny that cannot face the truth.
There is a lot of propaganda around this war, and around any war. But I do not appreciate you trying to invalidate the voices of people who were born and raised in that country, spent the vast majority of their lives there, still have family and friends there, and personally experienced the kind of hatred and violence that comes from a religious government. I don’t mean to attack you personally but you’re demonstrating a complete lack of recognition of the moral complexity. That the current Iranian government is terrible and has committed horrific crimes against its own people, but that does not justify foreign powers attempting a racist coup for their own benefit and spreading propaganda about it.
