In a letter addressed to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday, the acting head of the movement, Salah Abdel Haq, said his group expressed “full support” for the Islamic Republic as Israel’s assault stretched into a second week.

    The old fascist playbook.

    Use violence against the out group. If the out group protests peaceful, falsely claim it’s violence to increase your own violence. If the out group fights back, use it at an excuse to bring all the violence you have to bear while painting your attack as an act of “defense”.
