so much of the french revolution is just various people going "surely committing THIS act of violence/murder will end all the suffering and bloodshed and usher in peace!" followed by a summary of how everything immediately escalated and got even worse afterward. and somehow this website's takeaway is "clearly acts of violence and murder are the only way to end suffering and usher in peace!"

I don't know guys I think we might actually have to actually put in effort and not conflate working toward a better society with seeking personal catharsis.

FYI, Iran's government has cut off internet access to prevent Iranians from organizing against the regime. That's why you're not hearing from any Iranians here.

It seems really dangerous to do this, since it seems like it would impede Iranians' ability to know about any incoming strikes. But since when has the IR cared about that?

God, to those of you in Iran or with family in Iran, I'm so sorry you're in this hell and I hope you can stay safe. This is sheer brutality.

Seven-year-old Leukemia patient Anastasia (Nastia) Borik, a Ukrainian citizen, was named on Wednesday as one of the victims of a direct hit on her Bat Yam home by an Iranian ballistic missile, Israeli media reported.

Borik was killed alongside three of her family members - Her grandmother, 54-year-old Olena Sokolva, and her two older cousins, 14-year-old Ilia Pashkorov and nine-year-old Konstantin Totavich.

Borik's mother, 30-year-old Maria Pashkorovia, is one of the handful of Israelis still considered missing following the Iranian attack on a Bat Yam residential building on Saturday night that killed at least nine.

According to Israeli media, the seven-year-old arrived with her family from Ukraine two years ago in order to receive treatment for her condition.

The family arrived in Israel from Odessa in December 2022 as part of Nastia's treatment; they are not Jewish, nor did they have any previous connection to Israel.

Father, the only family member to survive, fighting in Ukraine

The decision to come to a foreign country for treatment was not easy, as the family left Nastia's father, Artem, in Ukraine due to the country's wartime restriction on men leaving the country.

Artem Borik is currently on the frontlines fighting the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Ukrainian sources disagree as to exactly which unit Artem is currently fighting in; however, both units are considered elite special forces units involved in raiding Russian forces in occupied Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Embassy is currently arranging for the repatriation of all the bodies to Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Embassy has announced it will be arranging the return of Ukrainian citizens and permanent residents who request to return to Ukraine.

Currently, around 23,000 Ukrainian citizens live in Israel, around half of whom arrived after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

President Isaac Herzog offered his condolences to her father and condemned the intentional firing of ballistic missiles into civilian apartments. "The world must condemn Iran’s indefensible crimes — and stand with Israel against Tehran's Empire of Evil."
