Israel Hide damaged done by Iran attack
A former US Marine Corps intelligence officer provided a perceptive analysis of the ongoing skirmishes between Iran and Israel in a recent episode of the open-minded thinker show. He asserted that Iran's goal was to reestablish a deterrent against Israel, warning them against taking further aggressive actions amid rising tensions in the region.

This is fantastic 🥰
11/10 BRILLIANT idea! Thanks for this!
Quick question, I know that it should be done out of politeness and professionalism, but would we always have to ask permission from other author's to critique one of their publications? The comments section is one thing, but making an article about another's published work (whether the constructive criticism is positive, negative, or barely even constructive at all)? It is a public platforms with publicly published stories/poems/articles/etc., but would Vocal implement a system for two or more authors to even undergo such a thing? Like on several social media sites there's an @ feature. If somebody published a critique on one's published work how would the other person be notified besides the subscription notification bell, comments from others left on their own stories, and word of mouth? The critique community might just need to be critiqued for its purpose and how its utilized.
This is a great idea! Thank you!
Very interesting. This looks very much like what we have been drafting and putting together on the Facebook group Vocal+Assist. We're calling it Critique Circles.
I absolutely love this! I’m writing my first book. So this is awesome.
Is there a minimum word count to place your post in this community?
Wow! I just wrote about this a few minutes ago! It’s like Vocal read my mind.
Wow 🤩 This is amazing‼️
Wow, now this is a community I hadn't thought of! I can't wait to help others cultivate their writing skills. And who knows, I might just use the community myself for advice, too! ^^
I love this 💗👍🥳
So needed! I enjoy posting my work and getting kind comments but I love getting and giving feedback. I'm looking forward to this collaborative opportunity
