  1. Wtf why?? Sounds like what the Turks did to the Armenians!

  2. A clear example of immigrants being used as pawns to distract the public. After the ass whopping they got from Israel, they have to show their citizens how tough they are.

  4. Expect western NGOS to barely touch this compared to (rightfully) complaining about Trump’s immigration polices.

  5. Refugees go home. That’s always how it was supposed to work.

  6. Afghans have been treated like garbage by the Iranians for decades. Used as cheap manual labour, not given legal status, recruited into militias sent to fight overseas on the Iranian Government’s behalf, denied schooling, healthcare and government services, and now being blamed as spies for Israel during their war.

    This happens all over the world. Migrants are treated like dirt, used, then thrown aside and blamed for problems they had no control over. But the Iranians and Afghans are a very close people, to do this against your own betrays how reactionary and desperate the Iranian government is being right now. They will look for anything easy to placate their population, and nothing is easier than blaming migrants for your failures.
