  • It’s a very difficult situation with both(many) sides appearing willing the influence the facility and bias of the news cycle.

    I would generally advise listening to many, expert sources that are extremely factual and try to understand and highlight motives and goals. A one sided view usually is tainted by propaganda. Even the Russian war of expansion/aggression against Ukraine has sensible motives for the people in charge.

    Or don’t. Better for the mentals. Just distrust everyone, in particular the people railing against Jews. A lot of people still harbor deeply antisemitic sentiment below a veneer of factual criticism of Israel. Islamophobia is a giant problem too, but people are more openly hateful there.

    I wish I knew a solution to improve the factuality of the conversation on Lemmy and social media at large.







  • Good luck. There is no easy way to peace now that Iran has realized the terror of closing Hormuz and the power it provides.

    There is no way back to the old status quo. And the regime change was botched so badly that more radical people are in power now. Beheading an enemy does not in fact mean victory.

    Also Israel/the Jews are considered an enemy of the state by some hard liners in Iran and must be displaced from Israel/Palestine. This means that the more radical government is likely to be a guarantee for continued low to mid level conflict.
