There's no way you actually believe women reporters should feel obligated to wear whatever culturally conservative men tell them to, so I don't know what you're even trying to do here. Okay she's not a hero for wearing what she wants to wear, so what.

They say a family working makes about 1500 bricks a day to make little more than 4 dollars, so a child probably contributes in the 100's. That article was a sad read.

Ah yes the famous issue of the arab world in the 1950s-1960's, Jihadis and Syria.

Also, because of his oppression, incompetence and fascism he solidified Israel in the region and his prisons were the nucleus of Islamism, his example would be followed by other arab fascist regimes to much greater and brutal lengths.

Lol then again I wouldnt be surprised if you preferred a loser who lost big-time to Israel and turned his country into a backwards military shithole police state because he said some mean things about islamists, that's were your priorities are.

It was him failing and eating poo poo that killed arab secularism and solidified reactionary right wing in the region.

economic mismanagement, horrible corruption, poor strategic decisions (Yemen - Israel - etc) , the destruction of Egyptian political and civil society, the creation of a military Junta system that lasts to this day that destroyed Egypt as any sort of economic, cultural or educational center and became a dictatorship for hire, his treatment of Syrians like absolute poo poo which caused the split of the United arab republic, surrounding himself with loving snakes and idiots and corrupt pieces of poo poo who were the cause of his defeats and who sold his country out after he died (Sadat - abdelhakim Amer) the list goes on and on

they weren’t wrecked they were severely distracted, a full third of egypts entire army was in Yemen.

Nasser had some good parts to him, his nationalization of the suez canal was a big good one, and he was an amazing orator and charismatic figurehead for a noble anti colonial strugggle, and him helping Algeria and other Arab countries to be freed was really good, but his failures are far greater and longer lasting than his successes

abdelhakim Amer

quote:

According to the official Egyptian position, Amer was rushed to hospital on 13 September 1967 in an attempt to save his life after he attempted suicide by swallowing "a large amount of poison pills" upon the arrival of Egyptian officers to question him. After surviving and being taken home, he managed to evade his guards and swallow more pills he kept hidden under an adhesive plaster on his leg.

I can't imagine there's nothing better to squash a popular protest in any of these countries than the United States openly supporting the movement. It's a death sentence that only whites can't see.

In 2009, when protests focused on electoral results and tried to maintain legitimacy within the system, this was something the protesters (and US government) tried to avoid. It's irrelevant now. No one cares about the optics of foreign support anymore, the protesters are burning headscarves and beating up police officers, they aren't trying to maintain respectability. How the US responds to these protests is not as important as you think.

the protests are very very legit but i think you are underestimating at what length the US will go to gently caress with and gently caress up iran. that isnt to say “and so people shouldnt protest” its pointing out the grim reality of how practiced the US is at exploiting any opening or weaknesses shown by countries we dont like. the US spooks are rubbing their hands and bringing out their forks and knives

I don't think they were particularly nervous about Iran in the first place since Turkey pretty significantly outweighs them, but they're absolutely delighted about Russia being engaged elsewhere. Russia arguably already sold Armenia out in the last conflict to some extent, but I don't think Azerbaijan would be occupying territory in Armenia proper if Russia wasn't distracted.
