    Kind of inane of me to add, but I like how this guy has started doing “praywalls” and openly threatening his readers to leave unless they donated to Palestine.

      This is the first post I encountered on the blog. It makes the point. Praywall huh?

          Damn good post, and I will forgive the ask/threat.

          It’s not the most salient point of the article, but this quote lands solid:

          As this Iranian lady says, “We stand here to the very last drop of our blood. We won’t submit to neither submission nor negotiations. We’re only here to avenge our leader, only this! They have to pay! And they have to pay with their blood. We’re the children of Seyyed Ali. We’ve eaten the bread and salt of this land.” Iran actually has more educated women than America, and they don’t seem to want to be liberated by known sex traffickers.

          Edit: although your reply is marked seven hours ago, I only received it in the last two. Perhaps admin can take a look and see if this is a Lemmy issue, since other replies seemed to appear for me in a timely manner.
