Insaanistan wrote:Aljazeera Arabic journalist Mahmoud Hussein released after over four years in prison in Egypt. Interrogated without a lawyer, he was kept much longer than anyone in Egypt is allowed to be kept detained without trial. Hussein was no activist: simply a journalist under Abdul-Fattah al-Sisi’s Egypt. It is believed part of the reason he was released was the change in the administration the US. Like Trump, al-Sisi views the press as a threat. However, Biden has taken a much harsher stance. Hussein became a symbol of the plight of journalists worldwide.

On my list of places in the middle east that I wanna go to, it's above Yemen but definitely below much of the Levant as well as Algeria and Morocco and Tunisia. Egypt has so many issues with government oppression, Islamic terrorism and riots that it isnt even funny. I'm glad this journalist got out of there, and I would advise journalists from anywhere else to be very careful in Egypt or to avoid it altogether.

The Levant has always been a bastion of religious tolerance, simply due to the amount of religious diversity in the region that’s been there for centuries. Syria is definitely not free in terms of political rights and such, but that’s natural and justified imo because there is a civil war against the government going on. However, in terms of religious freedoms, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan stand out in the Middle East

Hezbollah isn't anti Christian. They have many christian allies within Lebanon, although they are antisemitic.
Tbh Hezbollah is a lot like the Aryan Brotherhood in the sense that whatever ideology was there before is basically gone now. Hezbollah is a gang more than a terrorist group, and has spent the last several years robbing Lebanon and corrupting systems of power.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
