Providing satellite internet coverage or other bypasses for Iranians to continue using the internet is the key for us. It’s the fuel for the fire of the revolution and the regime is more scared of it than any weapons shipments or anything else any country can provide.
At least 508 protesters have been killed by Iranian forces since the protests began in September, including 69 children. That doesn't sound good at all. RIP. Specially kids should never have to go through this. >

Important point, there are some groups out there who put children directly in harms way to act as human shields or garner sympathy for their greater cause (Hamas, Taliban, etc.) But generally, grassroots uprising of domestic protests doesn't involve that tack. This is how you know the Iranian regime is truly heinous, because these kids are being targeted, considered collateral damage as domestic areas are raided, or caught in crossfire as protests quelled with deadly force. >

Hamas using children as human shields is disgusting, yet somehow you will still find westerners who sympathize with them. Shocks me >

I think very few people sympathize with Hamas.
People simply don't have any faith whatsoever in what Israel would do to the region if there were no Hamas. 
That conflict really is evil vs evil, there is hardly a shred of morality to be found anywhere on either side. >

I think people who will do anything to protect their children versus people who use their children as weapons has a pretty clear moral Victor. >

That's an extremely one sided view of the conflict.
I'd already disagree with the premise "Israel only wants to protect its children". It does many many things which contradict that very statement. >

Israel wants to protect its people.  Look at its tank design, the use of the Iron Dome. >

I'm sure Palestine would do the exact same if they had the option. No one sane wants to kill Jews or use children as a shield for fun.
Not sure why or even how you think Israel having the funds and tech to build up their defenses in another way means anything at all.
Not every conflict with Israel is because people are out to get the jews. It's not a holy land, they aren't perfect. They are just as terrible as all others when they feel the need to be. Israel needs to get over that victim complex they bring out every single time someone has an issue with them. >

I think you'll find that it's actually part of Hamas's strategy to do so from children's TV shows glorifying martyrdom and paying families that do so. >

As I'm sure Israeli tv or schools don't. I bet they teach everyone a very objective view of the conflict. 
I can tell you think Israel are the good guys here. I don't. I think both parties are complete assholes as I said earlier and both parties regularely commit atrocities. >

One of the reasons the protests keep going is because in Iran we commemorate our dead 40 days after their funeral. And now every time someone gets martyred fighting for freedom, their funeral and name is passed on in social media and their 40th day commemoration turns into a protest.
Yesterday there was two big protests, one in Tehran and one in Semirom. The regime knows that the internet and social media is the fuel of the revolution so that’s why they’re trying their hardest to enforce the internet blackout.
One of the biggest things that western countries can do to speed it up, rather than give people guns is to find ways to provide Iranians with internet coverage to bypass the government. While virtually every Iranian uses VPNs to access the internet it’s becoming slower and more difficult as the regime continues to apply measures to make access more difficult. >

I love the regime's logic.  There are two ways to try to stop the protests: stop murdering people or try to block the entire internet. Apparently, not murdering people is too hard so they opted for trying to block the internet. >

they don't stop tho, also putin does something similar aswell, when he tries to shoot its own foot its like they are trying to mimick each other
maybe they are on the end of the rope or just don't care >

Biggest mistake was to kill children during protest, I think this is pretty much over for their "government" >

If someone killed my kid I probably wouldn’t stop until I had my revenge. You don’t get away with shit like that. >

If they are willing to kill your kid they are willing to kill you and the rest of your family. Your choice is between living with your other kids (if you have any) or die, possibly with them. People tend to choose the former. >

Give me liberty or give me death. They kill my kids and I have nothing left to lose. >

Words are wind. >

So are explosions technically. Just really violent wind. >

You know what de-escalates a nation wide popular uprising against a brutal authoritarian regime?  Escalating the brutality and authoritarianism.  Historically speaking, I mean.
/s >

It worked in Syria /s >

That’s a disgrace of the international community failing to step up, and the single biggest failure of the Obama administration. Assad should be dead or in prison right now, and that’s exactly where he would be if Obama hadn’t flinched. I love Obama, but he really shit the bed on that one. >

This is a ridiculous. The “international community” did step up, that’s literally why it became one of the bloodiest civil wars of our time. The Syrian War is an international war.
Rebel groups were armed on a huge scale, even when they became entangled with jihadist factions. Those weapons kept changing hands as different factions warred and merged. ISIS built their caliphate with American weapons. Then the US intervened again to destroy ISIS.
The only way the US could’ve “stepped up” more is direct war like in Iraq or Libya. I’m sure we all agree those turned out great.
And in the end, the only thing that protected Assad was also international intervention, from Russia and Iran. >

And it was Trump who dropped the support for rebels that the US was arming. >

The Syrian Democratic Forces (mostly Kurdish) are not the rebels I’m talking about. They’re not really against the Assad regime, they seek federated governance within Syria. They’ve mainly been fighting against Islamist rebels, including ISIS and Alqaeda, and against Turkey. >

And they're not the only ones Trump stopped supporting either. >

I wish there was something other countries could do to help.
