Essential viewing for anyone feeling an urge to comment on Iran. Masih Alinejad is utterly extraordinary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytW4...

Excellent from Kuenssberg this morning, particularly on Iran.

Just know the people of Iran will appreciate your thoughtfulness. I spent some time with some diasporic Iranians today in the UK. They understand the complexities, but it’s not for us to rain on their parade.

Iranians celebrating on the streets of Manchester today, the biggest love to you all. May peace come to the people who own the proud heritage of Persian culture. May it come quick, and may it endure.

Once again, Americans have no problem diverting attention from the suffering of people in the Middle East, as long as those causing the suffering are not Jewish. See the comments.

This is not about you and your country. Thousands are dead.

This is the most likely. A lot of the accounts are linked with South East Asia

Iranian taxi driver tonight who really didn’t hold back about what’s going on. Tens of thousands dead in a matter of weeks, as many as 80k. The people need support they’re being slaughtered in Iran and they still fight. We have to do more

“From this day forward”. I like this. I think it’s probably extreme from my perspective, but that simple statement makes it so much more feasible and legally defensible.

I think you’re right in part. My point was too broad. And it’s not just about Muslims, because not everyone wants to be in Iran. But I think I’m right to say a lot of people do, but they want freedom to practice or not as they see fit along with economic stability.

They were absolutely brilliant. A totally deserved win. I really didn't think it was going to happen. Fair play to them, they just couldn't properly turn against one another. It's very hard to last as long as they did.

#TheTraitors Yes! The best finale since the first series. I wanted them to win from the start. What an amazing finale. Stephen and Rachel were amazing. I'm so, so glad they won together.

cool

This is the problem with shallow values. If you're willing to trample all over your values in order to express your values, one has to wonder, what are your values?

He's probably the most important strategic ally of things keep turning to shit with Trump.

I'm not over there. You're occupying stolen territory. I've never been there. Deal with your own problems first. Stop trying to steal Greenland, stop invading Latin America. Seriously. Sort yourself out. I am Iraqi Jewish and British Irish. I have never colonised anyone. Jeez, these white people.

I think I know the answer already, but is Trump okay?

Right, what’s that got to do with me

And on the left. Let’s be real here.

The fact you think your tin-foiled BS wouldn’t be considered a conspiracy theory isn’t surprising at this stage. Pretty much nothing would be. You people are are just a funhouse mirror reflection of MAGA. As always, anti-fact. Pro-violence.

Jesus. This is the level we’re dealing with.

I identified racists.

They’re two side of the same coin. Ignorance. Extremism. Populism. Commitment to disproven conspiracy theories. Ugly.

This is the only correct response

It is crazy the excuses white tankies use, you’re right

Literally have nothing to do with Israel. You’re mad at Jews in America for a foreign country’s actions. You are the definition of MAGA

Gosh you're so right. I can't imagine how xenophobe would be when called a racist. Specificity matters. I am so sorry. You are a xenophobe and an antisemite.

I don't know how they do it every time on #TheTraitors. Always such a loveable bunch of people. Never really like seeing any of them go. Harriet was an absolute legend. Maybe could have held back a little, but it was great for TV

Jews are a people defined by common ethnic heritage. Judaism is a religion. Islam is a religion, but it often faces unfair prejudice because of the ethnicity of its members. If you disagree, that's fine. Weird. But that's your deal.
