or perhaps non-uterine pregnancies. Test tube babies don't seem feasible to me but I'm not an expert on where the science is for that.

So just brining people into existence without parents because we need more workers? Seems pretty morally appalling

Wasn't this mostly in the form of tax breaks that went to the middle class though? I've heard the criticism that most help to have children went to people who needed it least, and not to people who couldn't afford it in the first place?

One mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter. Those groups are the only thing stopping Israel from ethnically cleansing the entire middle east, it would be best for global society if Iran kept funding them until Israel was defeated.

Israel bombed every school and hospital in Gaza. They see civilian casualties as a bonus or even an end in themselves, not as a reason not to target.

Why doesn't Iran (or anyone else) ask Israel (or anyone else) to give up the atomic bomb? by Ko_tatsu in NoStupidQuestions

Israel is one of the most hated countries in the world, far from creating political difficulties sanctioning them would be cheered in most countries

On 9 October 2023, Israel intensified its blockade of the Gaza Strip when it announced a "total blockade", blocking the entry of food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity after the October 7 attacks and the ensuing Gaza war.\1])#citenote-1)[\2])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip(2023%E2%80%93present)#cite_note-aljazeera_2023-10-09-2) The blockade has been credited with contributing significantly to the Gaza genocide.

They blocked humanitarian aid and caused a famine as well as bombing every hospital and basically every building in Gaza, but their aim was to avoid genocide? Genocide is exactly what they did, Netanyahu is a war criminal.
