A scene of devastation in Minab, Iran, as parents waited to know the fate of their young daughters after the bombing of a girls’ elementary school killed over 100.

[eyewitness accounts from Minab and Tehran]
Mohammed Shariatmadar stood outside the wreckage of the Shajareh Tayyiba girls’ elementary school in Minab, in southern Iran on Saturday morning, unable to process what he was seeing. His six year-old daughter, Sara, a second grade student, was among dozens of girls killed when the school was bombed in the first few hours of the war launched by the U.S. and Israel on Iran.
In the immediate aftermath of the strike he remained standing in the shade of a cracked wall, staring at the ground and ignoring the commotion around him. He didn’t approach the building, which had been sealed off, but he didn’t move away either. His hands knotted together, then separated, then knotted again, in a repeated motion. Every time a paramedic emerged or an ambulance moved, he quickly raised his head, then returned to staring at the ground. He asked no one a direct question. He was only waiting for his daughter’s name to be called.
When families were finally directed to a gathering point to receive the bodies of their children, he slowly moved forward. When asked if he needed help, he shook his head silently and waited for his daughter’s body to be brought out.
Death to Israel.
Death to the USA.
Rogue terrorists nations that intentionally murder children.
Death to the state, long live humanity.
When americans and israelis prove they’re not sheep i’d agree, until then Death to USrael.
I really don’t know a state that isn’t somehow following the European settler colonial model of resource extraction and capital accumulation, there are states that try to invest in more sustainable ways to keep that process going but I can’t help but feel like the way empires developed on the Eurasian landmass was toxic and we’ve never really broken away from it. I’m looking forward to reading Fosters book on Epicurus and Marx, I love the idea of the garden.
Nah every state is pretty bad the two you mentioned are particularly bad at the moment, but at the end of the day we’re all one one planet facing the same problems.
Actually, no, we don’t face the same problems. You and I don’t have have to live in fear that we’ll be murdered by a drone, or won’t be able to get food tomorrow, or could get an infection and there won’t be antibiotics available at the hospital.
Yeah much worse due to the work I’ve done I have to live in fear of assassination. I’m not aloud to work a normal job. You don’t know me you don’t know what I’ve done. Humanity has massive problems that will effect every one climate change is already starting to reek havok and the state of our environment is decaying faster than any one thought. Are my immediate material problems the same as a guy in the Congo who’s forced to open a Cobalt mine in his backyard where he’s slowly beong poisoned due to the excessive heavy metals in his blood? No are out fates bound together because we live on the same planet yes.
You don’t know me or what I’ve done.
Wondering how you respond to people saying “fuck cancer”
I mean its a horrible disease, I donate blood platelets and on the stem cell donor list for a reason. I wish we were spending all the millions of dollars that were blown up this weekend were spent on cancer research and not being used for regime change and war.
