We all know that you have gone muslim. that's ok, we don't need to live with you. But you really should leave Israel out of your delusions.

That's a 4 year old opinion piece, that you are treating like it's fact set in stone.

your magnificent outrage and the bunch of buls** you just wrote is a sign of ignorance and nothing more.
Your attempt, at several discussions including this one, to present yourself as an enlightened individual who cares for human rights is just absurd due to your desire to see Israel and its people in flames.

This discussion revealed your nature as a hypocrite who favors certain indeviduals over the others.
Best regards mate. I hope you won’t turn to isis like many of your friends.

For those in the US who are interested:

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/our-man-in-tehran/

I heavily recommend this documentary series, which has been adapted for American tv. Thomas Erdbrink is a reporter for NYT amongst other news sources, and this series 'Our man in Tehran' has been lauded with multiple awards in the Netherlands. A very nice outlook on life in current day Iran. Note that this is quite the exception, as he got permission to film freely without escort in Iran. That permission took 5 years to achieve.

They are all fucked over there in the sense of mentality and finding resolution

Ironic how religion is a primary cause of hate and distrust in those regions

I am agnostic now and I say good riddance to belief in the imaginary and the ridicule it provokes

(CNN)Dozens of children, many believed to be under the age of 10 and on their way to summer camps, have been killed after a Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a school bus in northern Yemen on Thursday.

The bus was struck as it was driving through a market in the rebel-held province of Saada, according to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV.
At least 43 people were killed and 63 injured in the strike, according to the Houthi-held health ministry.

The International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) said that a hospital it supports in Saada had received 29 dead bodies of "mainly children" under 15 years of age, and 40 injured, including 30 children.

"(The hospital) is very busy. They've been receiving wounded and dead since the morning and it is non-stop ," ICRC head of communications and spokesperson Mirella Hodeib told CNN.

Houthi media broadcast graphic footage appearing to show the dead bodies of children. Another video showed a young boy carrying a UNICEF backpack being escorted to a hospital, his face bloodied as medical staff tried to treat his injuries.

Witnesses that CNN spoke to said the attack could be heard from neighboring districts.

The Saudi-led coalition called the airstrike a "legitimate military operation," and a retaliation to a Houthi ballistic missile that targeted the kingdom's Jizan province on Wednesday night, according to Saudi Arabia's official news agency.

It's weird to me how little coverage this war is receiving on cable news. It's been horrific.

while i agree that it needs more coverage i kinda get the lack of it. it's confusing as all hell to the existing narratives.

"iran is moderating, we're now radicalizing them" [saudi's attack] "fuck"

"trump is bowing down to the saudis" [the last 4 presidents have bowed down to the saudis] "fuck"

i dont think the media can handle the quagmire that is the middle east in real time. Syria is a mess still, Israel and Palestine are quarreling, Iraq seems somewhat onboard with sanctions on Iran but is likely aiding them behind closed doors, 2 powers in the region beefing but in a satellite country, ISIS vs Al Queda vs State military etc.

the average person in the US sadly doesn't know enough in their knowledge base to make sense of what a war in Yemen means nor who if anyone we should root for to win it. The media has tried for decades to just call for peace, and it hasn't done much.

gotta sub to /r/worldnews and browse BBC world to get even a sniff of this shit, no where on any big media's page.

Crazy story about an Iraqi spy who infiltrated ISIS.
