Analyses and video evidence emerged over the weekend showing that the air strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ Primary School on February 28—that killed over 160 girls aged 7 to 12—was carried out by the US military.

The girls’ school in Minab is in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province close to the Persian Gulf. The school was effectively pulverized by multiple blasts, and many of those killed were obliterated and could only be identified through DNA analysis. Footage showed bodies and body parts partially trapped under collapsed floors, alongside scattered schoolbags, notebooks and dust‑covered textbooks.

    Ah yes, “Everybody from a place is as bad as the worst people from that place.”

    Wow, with that logic, I guess you’re all Viktor Orbán. How’s that feel? Fair?

    I suppose attacking Iran was okay then, because everybody there is Khamenei.

    Surely, we’re on the road to ending global conflict and understanding each other as people now! /s

    Emotionally labelling an entire people by their power-lusting “leaders” is the first step to dehumanizing each other and shooting each others’ families at their whim. We can be better than this.

      You’ve misinterpreted why they stated they are Hungarian.

      They’re identifying what they’ve experienced from interactions with another country’s people as a Hungarian with Viktor Orban in charge.

        I’m open to this interpretation. If that’s what they were going for then I didn’t mean to be too aggressive. Thanks for bringing this up. <3

        The context of the entire chain is holding people accountable for what their leaders did. HK65 seems okay with that and is very much in a position to not be throwing stones if we judge others on this.

          They’re not throwing stones. They’re identifying with the helpless predicament many people under terrible regimes feel.

          HK65 would like to change Hungary, but they can’t, but know people on the outside still expect they will change the system though.

          The key word is “sincerely”. That turns the message from a dismissal of the nuance of how democratic a system is, to an understanding that people in other nations in a sense flatten the countries internal fights between regime supporters and opponents.
