Do all Iranians hate the regime? Hate America? Life inside the country is much more complex and nuanced News reporting on Iran encourages a view of the regime as homogeneous, ideological and separate from the people. But many Iranians have ambivalent views on the state.

Any attempt to get at just some of the complexities in Iran in a very condensed form: theconversation.com/do-all-irani...

That is actually the title of my next paper.

I'll skeet for you. But from the comfort of my couch.

Thanks Yair. Useful insight as always.

Can you explain a little more how this works, both from an ideological point of view (e.g. what it means for Haredi politics) and what impact it will have practically (e.g. bigger voting bloc, I'm guessing?)?
