Let me start with the caveat that I am not an authority on Israel, or Palestine, or the Middle East. I am a researcher and a concerned citizen. I make an effort to make sense of the world with as little rhetoric as possible, but I do have my biases. One major bias is that I stand strongly for radical equality. To me, that means I believe all of us, including the Earth herself, demand equal consideration and voice. Given the embedded inequalities of my society and many others, this is a significant bias on my part. With that in mind, this essay represents my effort to find some clarity in the current conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The people – especially young people – in Iran are rising up to end the violent repression of women. The protests started after a young woman, Masha Amini (22)was murdered after being arrested by the morality police for not “properly” wearing a hijab. Protests have spread across the country and it is estimated that over 18,000 people have been arrested, and police response has gotten increasingly violent. A second protester has been executed. Majidreza Rahnavard (a 23-year-old man), was hanged from a construction crane as an apparent object lesson for other protesters.
