    Iran Admits to Murdering Protesters in Cities Across Country .....

    Iran admitted on state television Tuesday that its security forces murdered what it called "rioters" in cities across the country after mass demonstrations over a spike in government-set gasoline prices.

    “The acknowledgment came in a television package that criticized international Farsi-language channels for their reporting on the crisis, which began on Nov. 15,” the Associated Press reports.



    The New York Times reported over the weekend that the number could be higher.
    Altogether, from 180 to 450 people, and possibly more, were killed in four days of intense violence after the gasoline price increase was announced on Nov. 15, with at least 2,000 wounded and 7,000 detained, according to international rights organizations, opposition groups and local journalists.

    “It’s something pretty unprecedented event in the history of the human rights violations in the Islamic Republic,” Mansoureh Mills, an Iran researcher for Amnesty International, told AP.....snip~

    And Trump is the problem........

    BTW this is why you don;t give these people $100 million dollars and allow them to police themselves. God knows what that money went towards.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    From the OP:

    The New York Times reported over the weekend that the number could be higher.
    Altogether, from 180 to 450 people, and possibly more, were killed in four days of intense violence after the gasoline price increase was announced on Nov. 15, with at least 2,000 wounded and 7,000 detained, according to international rights organizations, opposition groups and local journalists.


    A senseless slaughter of those who dare to speak out against the religious nuts.

    This is even more reason to heavily sanction Iran. The mullahs are out of control.

    I agree its not our problem but it should be noted thats how Muslim nations and China and others maintain their rule by murder and violence.

    We have those in america that will praise and defend regimes that murder their own people to control them and keep control over israel that never does that. Its baffling

    Israel is not some shinning beacon of purity here. They keep control via force. Excusing their methods as defensive in nature is only part of the story.

    Israel isn't killing its own people for protesting their Government. So try a different equivalency argument.

    I didn't bring up Israel...

    You don't consider Palestinians that live within territories occupied by Israel to be the people of Israel? Interesting. OK. You must support Israel giving that land back to the Palestinians.

    Israel kills people in territories that are occupied by Israel for protesting their Government.

    Better?

According to a 2017 survey by University of Haifa professor Sammy Smooha, 16% of the Arab population prefers the term "Israeli Arab", while the largest and fastest growing proportion prefers "Palestinian in Israel". 17% prefer "Palestinian Arab", rejectin


    As to the territories. The welfare of the majority of Palestinians is in the hands of the PA. Oh and now Hamas who they voted into office.
