BDS more than "argues", it's a political group funded by various countries that tries to leverage political pressure on big businesses and countries alike.
That’s such a vague answer leveraging political pressure. Whatever that means people are allowed to argue that we should cut ties to Israel. You also seem to have a double standard where you are supportive of American sanctions against Iran and Cuba but think doing the same to Israel is a crime against humanity. I personally would be against any complete boycott of Israel and Christians and even Muslims are who think for a minute would also not be able to support complete sanctions.

The difference is the international politics of it. Its quite cheeky of such "arguing" (which besides, is less arguing to general public opinion, and more not so subtly threatening specific public and private organizations with media smear pieces and rowdy protests by usual suspects, that's quite a step above arguing) to target allied countries of the place they are doing it in. Imagine doing BDS things in Russia against Belarus or Syria, or in China, against North Korea.
Here's what happens when you argue for not giving support to Hezbollah while in Iran.
Instead of addressing this concern, the regime has opted to silence the protesters, as is its wont; since July 15, when protests first erupted in the Khuzestan, up to 10 people have been killed by security forces, including bystanders, and over 100 have been detained.

Of course Iran has horrible prisons and locks up political prisoners. Nearly all countries do. We have horrible prisons with massive numbers of assaults and rapes, insanely long sentences for petty crimes, torturous solitary confinement, and oodles of political prisoners - just look at the people at the Capitol on January 6th, Kyle Rittenhouse, or Julian Assange. Before we point fingers at Iran, we should get our own house in order, especially since our insane and belligerent foreign policy in large part helps to erode our rights and freedoms at home.

Keep in mind that China and Iran are places we generally don’t want to be like. Freedom of speech is one of our most cherished rights, the foundation upon which all other rights rely upon. The idea that we would destroy that for a foreign nation should disgust and horrify any American.

Hackers apparently were able to access Iran's notorious Evin Prison and release surveillance footage of the going on's inside of the facility including prisoner abuse and the like.


You're late by about a day.

According to a PR Spokesperson of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards or IRGC, they confronted a criminal gang in NW Iran that was involved in trafficking, torturing, blackmailing and ransoming foreign nationals. At least one smugger was killed and five arrested, with apparently thirty individuals rescued in the IRGC operation.

Well, at least they are trying to actually deal with their human traffickers. UNLIKE THE BRITBONGS.

A quick heads up, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but there has been a whole lot of sabre rattling from Iran toward Azerbaijan over the latter allegedly allowing Israel to use its territory as a platform for attacks inside Iranian territory. The saber rattling culminated in a huge military exercise near the Azeri border, but the stream of threats from Iranian officials against Israel and Azerbaijan is still coming on strong.


Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said Tehran had the right to hold exercises and underscored the “importance” of cooperation between Iran and Azerbaijan, who share a 700-kilometer border.

“We do not tolerate the presence and activity against our national security of the Zionist regime next to our borders and will take any necessary action in this regard," Amir-Abdollahian said at a meeting with Azerbaijan's new ambassador on September 30.

I also wish to note that the big western media companies (CNN, BBC etc) are completely mum about this, or at least I can't find any articles from them on this subject on google (largest source I found is Al Jazeera). Maybe they don't want to upset the Iranians before another round of the nuclear so called "talks" (where Iran is basically walking all over Biden).

Iranian assassination attempts of Israeli and other VIPs in several countries thwarted:


An unprecedented operation involving 15 international security agencies has exposed an Iranian terror infrastructure that was planning a series of assassinations against Israeli and Western targets around the world.
It started in June, when Colombia's Dirección Nacional de Inteligencia (DNI) issued an imminent security alert after determining two Israeli businessmen were the targets of an assassination attempt planned and financed by a high-ranking Iranian Quds Force officer. That officer, Rahmat Asadi, is regarded by Western intelligence organizations as a dangerous terrorist.

The businessmen and their families had to quickly leave Bogotá under rigorous security measures.

...

The Colombia investigation, with the reported help of 15 other foreign intelligence agencies, led to the identification of a sophisticated Quds Force infrastructure to carry out similar actions in Azerbaijan, the United States, Bulgaria and Africa by hiring professional hit men and drug cartels.

Izrael assasinated few iranian scientists before.If you start murdering people from country X,they would do the same to you.
And Azerbejian is Turkey vassal,so saber rattling is against Turkey.Which Iran fought from the moment they come to Europe.

I gotta agree here, Israel has no grounds to complain when the people they are assasinating start hitting back. Now, i know that's not going to stop them from acting like it's the end of the world. But to anyone not Israeli it's really not a big deal tbh.

The difference is Israel is careful to hit either high placed personnel in the Iranian nuclear program or military. Iran is hitting back by attacking random rich Israelis, not anyone actually relevant to the shadow war. That, to me, is what pushes their acts beyond the thin line into terrorism.

I mean, again, you do go and kill their people as well

So what? If as retaliation for hitting Kasem Sulemani, Iran, say, bombed times square and killed a couple dozen people. Or they tracked down and killed, say, Rhianna or Kim Kardashian. Are the two acts comparable?
The former would be a cause for invasion, the later, I mean... would it really be a loss?

Humor is all well and good, but in reality both would be a cause for invasion. The difference is that killing a general (or a leading scientist in a nuclear program for that matter) has a concrete military benefit, while killing a rando doesn't, it's just random violence.

Every act of killing people in other country without war is terrorism.Did you declare war on Iran? no? only difference is in being more of less professional terrorists.
