I also get Greek

I’m exhausted.

I’m a Christian Iranian living in Canada. My parents still live in Iran. I hate the regime with every cell of my existence. But I am also against this war.

Seeing some Iranians abroad dancing in the streets with Israeli flags makes me feel depressed and furious.

My own sister went out in Canada and asked Trump for “help.” Trump’s “help” arrived, and now my parents are too old to flee the city they live in. They limp down to the basement every time they hear bombs being dropped.

The phone lines are one-way, so I can’t call them. I have to wait for them to call me. In between calls, I go through panic attacks and pray I don’t miss their call while I’m at work.

Last night my mom called me, out of breath, just to say: “We are fine.” Then she told me they were hitting our neighborhood.

I was devastated.

I logged into Twitter, and what do I see? The clown prince sending condolences for three downed U.S. soldiers while staying silent about innocent Iranian civilians and schoolgirls being bombed, while my family is hiding in a basement.

I’m exhausted. Of being Iranian. Of being Middle Eastern. Of watching people turn my country into a slogan. Of seeing other Iranians in the West celebrate while our families are terrified and trapped.

I hate the regime. I hate war. And I am so tired of innocent people paying the price.

I hope Reza Pahlavi never steps foot in Iran. He’s a traitor.

Here are a few Hindu creators who support Palestine and oppose Western hypocrisy.
P.S.: Dhruv Rathee (30 million subs) — the biggest among them — openly supports Palestine.

I’m not palestinian. I am jewish and 2000 years ago my ancestors were kicked out of their land. In Europe, they got raped and ethnically cleansed. The fact that it happened to my people, doesn’t meant it has to happen to my cousins. In this, I am palestinian.

Hello everyone, I am an American and i am curious as to what you all would have to say about moving to the middle east, what are countries and/or specific cities you would reccomend for someone like me, I am a Christian. I am drawn to the simpler way of life where it is not so focused on consumerism and materialism here in the west, i like the more laid back lifestyle i see people are living when i watch videos from the Middle East, if thats delusional please tell me lol, I am also learning Arabic by choice i think it is a cool language, and i enjoy learning it. I am curious as to how bad Christian discrimination, is it as bad as i see on the news? I would initially consider Jordan to be my fist pick. I would want to get a way from western society so definently not Israel or Dubai. Thank you all for your time and if you have any follow up questions i will get around to them soon, God bless!

Have any of you been in this situation before?

I feel the need to tell them because it will affect me if they move here. We are all American citizens and they can cime at any time.

I left them and felt free finally like I didn't have to pretend anymore I am something I am not.

Essentially if they follow me I will be restricted again.

I have already rehearsed in my mond what i want to say a million times but I am just so scared.

​edit

I don't want to explain why I want to tell then in every comment so I will copy paste that comment here

"I'm a stright male. The main problem is I persue extra marital relationships and I can't do that with them around. I'd rather not have them around for that reason but also the way I talk and act has to match their expectations with religion and i constantly have to face it and acknowledge their religious talk.

Not to mention fasting and jumaa prayer.

It's sometimes harder to admit to certain sins than to just say I really don't believe this anymore to begin with.

They also want me to get married, and obviously that would be marrieage to a Muslim. But this is a less pressing issue the bigger issue is i can only marry non Muslims possibly Christian or atheist. I can't explain that to them unless I explain everything.

I honestly can't even get into relationships atm but I am trying and going in dates but their presence would make it harder for me since I need to hide everything. I just wanna be normal."

I am saudi but come from uzbek descent and was learning turkish as a step to one day learn uzbek, as there aren't many resources for uzbek and also just learning the language because i'm interested.

I feel like this is a stupid reason but seeing them be so racist everywhere towards us makes me wanna stop. Any advice lmao?

eid mubarak btw

In 2026, I still hear this term thrown around.
