As I keep telling people, it’s the Mandaens. Obviously they are behind this war to get back control of Khuzestan. We are all their puppets.

For example, Zoroastrians, Mandaens, Manicheans, and gnostic sects often feature dualistic cosmologies, where there are evil or dark principles to balance out the light. These are notably absent in Abrahamic faiths, where God is supreme and Satan/Iblis is a tempter but within God's plan.

I framed this question right here to someone else: Why care about the Palestinians and not the Assyrians, the Armenians, the Kurds, the Yezidis, the Mandaens, and all the other litanies of tragedy in the Middle East?
I stand by it.
Now I ask myself, why claim about them and not the Palestinians?
