An interview with Masih Alinejad — one of Iran’s most prominent dissidents — on the Western elites' moral failure, the regime’s massacres, and President Trump’s looming decision
Masih and her fellow Iranian protesters are so brave. I wish that I thought that I could be as brave. I hope and wish that this time there will be enough momentum to topple the disgusting old men who run the thoroughly nasty Iranian regime. It's high time there was a reality check on the protesters here in the West, that they could open their eyes and see the reality of the connection between the Iranian regime and Hamas, Hezbollah etc.
This was a really hard read because it just hits reality into us to realise how lucky and to a certain extent spoilt we are that we grow up in the environment that we are in plenty of food money friends freedom everything you can think of we have. While the same people just like you and me gave to grow up without anything and literally have to die for freedom hoping that it'll make a better life for their kids and grandchildren!!💓 We have to learn so much from them to just be thankful for everything we have and even if not everything is perfect for us every day just think of them what they have to go through on a daily basis and you'll realise how much you truly have!!💓 .
Hi Nadav, between us is a wonderful and important addition to my daily news rave. I just wish I had a possibility to forward it into several WhatsApp groups that I think would immensely benefit from the content and partly also subscribe to between us. Wouldn’t there be a possibility to have your members share the content a couple of times per month for free? I’m quite sure this would also benefit the subscriptions.
Hi Mima - at least half (and probably more) of my content is completely free, including this piece. It not blocked by paywall. As to the the paid subc only pieces- substack does not allow at this point gift articles, unlike the NYT for instance.
I have been following Masih for a couple of years and she is just forced that needs to be reckoned with. The fact that a Russian presence was also involved in one of the assassination attempts just seems to not matter. It is just astounding to me that all of my friends who screamed about Me Too and oppression are completely silent on Iran whilst continuing to focus on Palestine and not even seeing how inverted the whole thing is. Russia, Iran, Hamas - they are all linked and all waging wars - in Ukraine, the Middle East and very actively (and largely ignored) in Africa.

I am sympathetic to the cause of Iran and the long-suffering Persian people, but relying on the word of Metamucillini is never going to work out well.

There is no West. America has gone fascist.
