Scenes where self-described progressives marching with anti-Israel placards and Palestinian flags might be a source of endless mockery and derision, but they represent a real effort by hardline anti-Israel activists to hijack the progressive cause, all under the guise of the religion of 'Palestinianism.'How did this movement allow itself to be taken over so quickly, and is there hope for it to find its way out of this morass?

While it is anyone's guess whether the Iranian regime will survive the war with Israel, one thing is clear: that the Islamic Republic of Iran's control over its people is weaker now than it was in recent memory, and that means a lot of senior officials will be looking to make their exit.That deeply concerns people like Mojdeh Shahriari, an Iranian-Canadian lawyer in Vancouver and co-founder of StopIRGC, a group aimed at preventing members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the
