With branches in “virtually every” city and town in Iran, the Basij serve aan auxiliary force engaged in enforcing state control over society, acting as a morality police at checkpoints and parks, and suppressing dissident gathering
Nice excuse. Still prohibited under international laws. You could justify with the same rhetoric the regime attacking and killing iranians since the regime could simply claims that they was israeli agents. The video I saw also showed a kid in the entry of a mosque that was attacked
Bullshit. A country law is irrelevant during a revolution but not international laws. During a revolution attacking civilians places is still prohibited
Sure, it’s prohibited. But so what? That rule is worth as much as the paper it was written on when there’s no way of enforcing that rule. Will Bashar Al-Assad ever see any consequences for dropping barrel bombs on protest crowds and residential blocks? Will Putin ever see any consequences for invading Ukraine and butchering civilians on a daily basis, or Netanyahu for his killing spree in Gaza?
Never said I supported any of it. I only said that it will happen, regardless of what idealists like yourself think about it. I’ve had time enough to learn that extraordinary circumstances will bring the worst out in people on both sides, and any international laws can easily be bent by the right people in exchange for future support/resources/fealty. Any world leader gives exactly zero shits about someone else’s country until that country is either a threat to their own country or a potential massive boon. The age of rules-based order in the world has come to an end, and what we’re witnessing now are the super megapowers asserting themselves. It’s survival of the fittest now.
I told you that civilians infra was attacked with a kid inside and you told me laws do not exists during a revolution
I lived in tunisia during the dictator who kidnapped people critisizing him, tortured , raped and starved oppositions. I supported the revolution and went out with people to defend our country from the counter revolution but I never supported act of terrorism against anybody. So shut up and don’t act like I am an idealist or someone who always lived confortably in a safe democratic country like you are
Not that laws don’t exist. They’re just not enforced. Tunisians were incredibly fortunate to get through their revolution without further bloodshed, any other countries in the Arab spring were not. Have we seen any consequences from the international court towards any of the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in these conflicts? No. I’m on your side. Neither of us are supporting acts of terrorism. All I’m saying is that it will happen in these kinds of situations, and the world will do fuck all about it. Try not to see enemies when you’re in a discussion, I’m not your enemy
Mosques in Iran also host basiji bases.

Basijis have killed and tortured countless civilians.

International law goes out the window during a revolution - and nowadays in most other situations too.

So people can kill other people and burn civilians infrastictirew because there is a revolution. You are just supporting terrorism simple and plain
