Iran Revolution Thread

A detour from the usual Ojai news, but something I wanted to shed some light on...

It's getting very little media coverage, but the revolution occurring right now in Iran is truly remarkable. Andrew Sullivan has been exhaustively covering Iran for months, including the recent escalation on December 26th, providing fascinating coverage of an historic event. Here's an AP overview. What say you?

In this season of new beginnings would people please take a moment to consider giving 750,000 children (&700,000 adults) a new beginning in Gaza? They have not been allowed the basic necessities of life for over 2 years in an illegal blockade that is partially funded & armed by U.S. taxpayers. Many have seen their homes and loved ones blown to pieces. The Fourth Geneva Convention outlaws the collective punishment of civilians so this is a war crime & a moral outrage.

Please join in solidarity with the children this week, much as we did at the Berlin wall & against apartheid in S. Africa. Please boycott, divest & sanction (BDS) any person, country, or business that profits from illegal occupations. Please contact your politicians & support the Dec. 31 march on the Gaza wall.

Awesome that you posted this, Tyler! The events of the last 6 months in Iran have been extraordinary! I encourage anyone who is interested in human rights ~ or who wants to witness up close a remarkable group of unarmed people peacefully (and with unbelievable dignity and bravery!) go head to head with one of the most brutal dictatorships of the world ~ to follow what is happening. And you are right ~ Andrew Sullivan at The Atlantic has been tireless in his coverage! Free Iran! V V V
