Justice for Men & Boys 
she was spot on about Iran, or rather the extremist regime and not the general population. Didn’t help with the americans and their appeasement approach, especialy obama giving them money.
I was living in the middle east when obama was elected and was asked to write a report( on behalf of my ex wifes laws firm ) on the general response to obama from the middle east., to simplify they didn’t trust him.
no one wants to engage in a “regime change” when various parties have tried in the past and it does not end well( after the last attempt created the current regime)
we can only help the Iranian population decide for themselves and make the changes they want, whereas Israel will likely also make the changes they need to protect themselves.
we’ve seen this in the UK of the infantilsed people in varying issues( gender the most famous of all ), refusing to be robust in their critical thinking
There are no winners in any of this on both sides, people will die in order to suit the agenda of a small minority..

We are blown around like so many helium balloons these days because we in the “west”, or those who provide leadership( not just political but social and moral) have forgotten or don’t know what huge efforts it has taken to achieve our current state of material ease and security. On the island of Ireland we still have an uneasy peace with lots of special arrangements in place to keep the lid on and defuse divisions that fueled a series of wars on that island in the pervious century. Where simple appeals to economic or material advancement counted for little against strongly held religious/historical and forms of vendetta beliefs motivated too many. You’d think with that experience so close to home we’d grasp the powerful force that such “psychology” plays can play. If we did think about that experience we’d “get” the real problem in dealing with regimes who are convinced that their “revolution” is God’s work, genuinely believe they will live eternally in paradise if killed in doing God’s work and believe vengeance is a virtue that will exalt them. We are so easily bullied because we play a game of trade embargoes or “international law” or diplomacy while the idealogues are playing for Gods and eternity, honour and revenge.
Less dramatically the ideologues who worship “historical inevitability” or “intersectionality” play a long game that deftly undermines our own hard won cultural treasures by constantly chipping, chipping, chipping away at Freedom, Justice, moral equality, tolerance, debate, kinship; knowing that these are fragile things took centuries to grow and mature; yet are “taken for granted” as if they always existed. Feminists being a prime example of gradual steps to barbarism achieved because the ideologues have a religious devotion to their “de construction” while the protectors of this so hard won heritage do not perceive the danger because they can’t conceive of the depth of belief.

Though slightly off topic can I remind readers of Phillips’ book “Sex Change Society” from the late 1990s (so not about “Trans”) which has the virtue of being written by a former “progressive” including feminist and so gives an insiders view of how our key institutions became so “woke” (again long before the term).
