Selection bias.

Those who choose to leave Iran, often do so because they don't like the government. Supporters are less likely to leave.

In Iran, he polls slightly better (~45%, 2023) than Trump does in the US.

Pluto is a planet, Columbus discovered America, deoxygenated blood is blue, camels store water in their humps, gum stays inside you for 7 years if you swallow it, the Great Wall is visible from space, the tongue has individual zones for detecting flavors, and Iraq definitely has WMDs.

Don't fault them for misunderstanding. After all, we can only actually use 10% of our brain.

You aren't entitled to membership or the facilities of any club.

It's like trying to play tennis at a private basketball court then acting surprised when you get told to leave.

Just go to the tennis court, bud.

Yeah, why is a heavily sanctioned island nation still reliant on oil? They should just make solar panels! It really is quite unusual and problematic to still require fossil fuels in this day and age. With a population about the size of Ohio, their country sure is significant contributor to climate change. I'm sure they'll be just fine without oil.

This is like saying libs should join the NRA or the Proud Boys. I'm sure they will appreciate your "diversity of thought".

It's not as if liberal or unaffiliated gun clubs don't already exist.

That's not a crime.

Yeah, everyone seeing this knows the poster's heritage, favorite food, and post address.

There is a difference between "Chinese families" and "my Chinese family". Maybe you would understand if "Chinese" was replaced with "Black".

It's just plain bigotry.

In fact, it is gangs/militia backed by Israel who are systematically stealing aid. Not to mention the thousands of casualties directly caused by the GHF indiscriminately firing on masses of starving people.

Non-EU citizens travelling to and from the Schengen area will now have to pass through a new biometric Entry/Exit System (EES), which starts operations from Sunday. The new system removes the requirement to manually stamp passports and instead creates digital records that link a travel document to a person’s identity using biometrics.

He has one of the largest platforms of any left wing creator, and uses it to parse through misinformation in traditional media, and also regularly hosts fundraisers that raise millions of dollars for charity.

OMG, such a bad dude.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP)

Now, as Israel faces another unprecedented crisis in a war with Iran, Netanyahu appears rejuvenated. With the U.S. lending its support against a threat he has devoted his life to confronting, Netanyahu is demonstrating a resurgent confidence that could signal a new turning point in his lengthy political career.

Even as Iranian missiles pound Israeli cities, Netanyahu, 75, has the chance to salvage his sagging political fortunes and reshape a legacy punctured by Hamas’ attacks, a corruption trial and a history of divisive rule. If he succeeds, it will cement his reputation within Israel as a political wizard who can rise from the ashes.
