I talk a lot about injustice of women and marginalized groups, politics, mental health, male violence against women, animal rights.
I have one cat and he hates everything.

The Islamic regime in Iran is not a friend of Palestine.
Their support comes with political agendas and power plays. True support for Palestine means standing with the people’s rights and liberation not using their struggle as a tool for regional influence or sectarian control.
