Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Leiter: "We discovered today that Lebanon and Israel are on the same side of the equation. We are both united in liberating Lebanon from an occupation power dominated by Iran called Hezbollah. Lebanon is under their occupation and we are suffering from their constant barrages of missiles and terror attacks trying to cross our border."
During these Days of Remembrance for Victims of the Holocaust, Jeanette and I honor the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. Our duty to defend the truth and fight antisemitism is more urgent than ever. Never Again means just that.
There it is.
Hamas admits 80% of the casualties in the Gaza War were combatants.
There was no “genocide”
Only the most accurate and targeted war in history.
In Iran, life is oppression and brutality.
These courageous women were facing severe consequences, even their families threatened.
How many of the people who criticized our Men’s Hockey team condemned Iran’s treatment of its Women’s Soccer team?
IRANIAN REGIME OFFICIALS—GET OUT OF LEBANON!
I love the fact we have a woman barking orders at our Islamist enemies now.
And they have to listen, or else.
Go kick some jihadi ass, @CaptainElla1!
Imagine being this brave.
They knew what would happen. And they did it anyway. For freedom.
We don’t understand this kind of courage. Bless these women.
Iran’s new and endangered ayatollah owns London apartments worth $40M+.
The regime who kills tens of thousands of its own citizens also robs his nation blind.
You would think the side using precision strikes to minimize civilian harm and follow the laws of war would earn recognition.
You would think the regime firing cluster bombs deliberately targeting cities would face world condemnation.
Instead, we are witnessing moral inversion.
The desperate Iranian regime is firing enormous cluster bombs at Israeli civilians, in a double and deliberate war crime. Two civilians were killed today. Oddly enough, many media orgs around the world seem to overlook this. My conversation with @connellmcshane on @NewsNation earlier.
tks @AriellaNoveck
THE REGIME IN IRAN HAS MURDERED 14 CIVILIANS IN ISRAEL SO FAR.
They weren’t collateral damage from a strike on a military base. They were the primary targets of Iran’s cluster bombs.
That’s how Iran fights its war — not by attacking trained soldiers, but by targeting the most vulnerable civilians: the elderly, pregnant women, and workers.
If Lebanon wants to stop Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah, here is a creative solution:
Announce PEACE with the State of Israel, with immediate effect.
Engage Israel as a peaceful neighbor dealing with a common problem, not an enemy state.
The choice is Lebanon’s to make.
For 47 years, the people of Iran have yearned for justice, freedom, peace, and prosperity—and have paid for it with their blood.
If your outrage at Iranian lives lost began only today, but you were silent as the regime slaughtered thousands of its own people in recent weeks, Iranian lives did not suddenly become worthy of your concern. Their lives have always mattered.
Many Iranians today are experiencing a profound and painful dissonance: waiting with bated breath for the fall of their tormentors, while grieving every innocent life lost—and knowing it was decades of the regime’s violence, repression, and recklessness that led the country to this precipice.
Imagine the profound dissonance of living under such injustice for so long that war begins to feel like the lesser evil.
It pains me deeply that the Islamic Republic has led Iran to this moment. The Iranian people are not this regime. They are its first victims—and they have never stopped fighting to rid themselves of it.
I stand with the people of Iran and their right to self-determination. May freedom, justice and peace swiftly prevail.
