It just makes no sense to me. What's their meter to specify whether a group/person is a terrorist or not?
And what kind of criterion in the world doesn't count Netanyahu not a terrorist?

As one comment in the sub said, it's almost more Zionist than r/Israel. There are insults thrown at anyone who stands up for Palestine or anyone from Hezbollah. Is the consensus among Lebanese that they want nothing to do with the war and are content with becoming a complicit country like Jordan? Has Israeli terrorism succeeded?

This is Official, certified Fresh by the Resistance, because nowhere else does a Madali stand vigilant over these fucking hasbara freaks.

I'll send you a link to my comment on r/ propaganda sub, the one place I'd at least hope to have users see propaganda, but no. The topic immediately felt like hasbara propaganda, but looking in his profile, it was even worse, he is also pretending to be 15 and grooming kids,

I'm only showing you this to tell you that they don't even bother covering their tracks anymore, because everyone has been so propaganized against.

Like I said, hasbara are obsessive, but so am I.

This place is guaranteed hasbara free (sometimes they are let in so we can play dumb and study them).

Edit: I think they deleted the thread and posters who replied to me deleted their comments. Can you imagine the state we are in? Protecting a child groomer because it benefits Israel. What the fuck, right in front of my eyes.

In Turkey (I am Turkish) we don't consider ourselves Middle Eastern (actually we hate how there kinda is a Anglo-European global conspiracy to Middle-Easternize us), and we don't consider Iran Middle Eastern in particular, i.e. we generally think of the Arab countries when we hear Middle East.

Do Iranians consider themseles a Middle Eastern people?

Hello lovely people of Iran,

Iran is a really nice country with beautiful culture and I have observed that it is family oriented which is really nice. People value their family and they go everywhere with their families. Some people even define you by your family or what kind of family you have. This can be important in public eye. So how about single women who happened to be have a bad family or lost family member and end up living alone, can they have a secure and happy life in Iran by living alone ? Or people would have different opinions about them ? I am just curious about your observations.

It's really hypocritical we can't provide and do Business with Russia because they are supposedly the 'bad guys in the war with Ukraine and we're being Isolated because of it but they can help out and provide Israel and Ukraine..... The bias and the double standards.

What exactly are they? Western Media and Enes Kanter (or as I call him “Anal Cunt”) say they are a moderate political movement that does charity, while Erdoğan’s media calls them a dangerous cult. I don’t trust either so I want yo know from a Pro-Iranian Turk’s perspective. Are they like Turkish MEK?

United States is a failed occupied state, with an anti democratic culture.

It's very strange that citizens from such a pariah dying empire, come here to lecture us on voting, gays, and hijab.

Laughable.

theres videos going around of iran leader dead or in a coma, then i go on twitter and see videos of protesting i understand that im. using zionist app filled with fake news but could someone explain whats happening in iran or if there even is anything going on in iran.

First of all, before anything, let's just get the 'American are brainwashed' out of the way.

American propaganda, via its media, games, music, movies, social media, etc, are global. Everyone is exposed to it.

However, in addition to that, non Americans are also exposed to their own domestic and regional propaganda.

So take these as an example:

1. An American only exposed to American propaganda

2. An Iranian America who gets the above plus anti-iranian propaganda (such as manoto, Iranian American music, etc)

3. Iranian western lib who gets above plus local lib propaganda (Iranian cinema, pop music, social media influencers, etc)

4. pro Iranians who get above plus domestic propaganda (Irgc channels, leaders speeches, resistance videos, etc)

As you can see, the further you get away from the Americans, the more exposed you get to additional propaganda.

Due to extensive reach and power of western propaganda, it is impossible for an anti-american not to be exposed, but the opposite is not true, as an American could live his life and never consume any media from Iran or Russia or China.

That is, for example, everyone knows who Michael Jackson is, but millions of Americans won't know any non-American artist.

Therefore, logically, since non-Americans are exposed to more information, Americans are the most brainwashed.

I wrote this so that American visitors to this sub start having some humility because it is getting slightly embarrassing to watch.

For the pro Iranian diaspro, both Iranians and non, know that your job is very hard.

American propaganda is like an onion. Each time you remove a layer, thinking you arrived at an answer, you realize that answer itself was planted, so you then have to remove that layer.

A lot of this comes to language control. As we know, I can not talk about certain topics, whether historical, religious text, or social, when it comes to certain groups related to Israel. Even typing this on reddit, I feel like I have written some blaspheme.

Almost all established knowledge should be questioned and overturned. Take something simple as a hate crime. This is not something eastern and makes no sense.

An action should be a crime, not what is in my heart. If a person beats someone up, the act of violence should be a crime, I do not need to know if in his heart, he loved the guy's tribe or didn't. Or if someone murders a homosexual, the fact that a human being was killed is a crime.

These are very important, because we have normalized the idea that what is within us should be public.

It is not so.

I do not have to make my inner emotions known. Not in a court of law, not pressured by the social norms. What is in my heart is between me and my Beloved. I might share it with my wife sometimes, if I desire.

Also, you do not need to be factually correct. It is nothing to be ashamed of to be wrong. It is not an unethical issue. Do not allow them to bully you into that. Be confidently wrong, it is your right. At worst, people can say you are ignorant of the facts, that's it, being ignorant of facts is not a moral deficiency.

Do not let them bully you into playing by the rules they set up, and which they brazenly break and expect you to follow them. This sub is an example. They ban us everywhere, but come here to guilt us into allowing all kinds of debate, because they know decent, truthful people do not shy away from conversation so they abuse that trust. Therefore, be indecent with indecent people. Be dishonest with dishonest people. Be cruel with cruel people. Do not fall for their lie of "we do not want to be like them". You are not. The action is not important, it is the target of your action.

That is all for now. More Ted Talk next week.

My grandmother who lives in Iran passed away today and my mother is the only one of her family who lives in America. Due to travel time/costs she's not able to go to Iran on such short notice to attend the funeral. She's very devestated and I wanted to do something/bring something customary, in the context of Iranian culture. We don't have family in America so I just want to do my best to be part of her grieving process in a way that's more familiar to her to better respect the loss of our loved one. Are there any customary things I should keep in mind or do for her? I'll take any advice, I haven't ever had to experience death within the context of my culture, so I feel a little lost. I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference, but her family is specifically from Tabriz and we speak Turkish.

Thank you in advance.

TDLR: what are some customs/traditions to honor the loss of a loved ones
