I would use terms like genocide & ethnic cleansing as pro-Hamas ppl do but that would be putting my Western binary worldview on this issue which is ignorant at best and dangerous at worst. Stop doing mental gymnastics to convince urself these ppl don’t exist just to kill Jews
#BREAKING: Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar in his first publicized statements since launching Al Aqsa Floods campaign:
"The leaders of the Occupation should know, October 7th was just a rehearsal"
I am 28 years old, and I have lived my entire life suffocating under the Islamic Republic. I am writing this from the streets of Tehran, nearly a month into a war, and let me tell you a truth that the outside world cannot seem to comprehend:
My biggest fear right now is not the missiles.
My paralyzing, everyday terror is walking out my front door and hitting an IRGC checkpoint. It is the sickening knot in my stomach when the people I love step outside, knowing they might get dragged away by these monsters. Nothing is, was, or ever will be worse than this regime. You cannot convince me otherwise.
I am bleeding myself dry. I spend every ounce of my energy and money fighting this digital blackout, buying VPN after VPN just to force a connection through so I can be the voice of my people. And what do I see when I finally get online? Analysts sitting safely abroad telling us, *"You haven't tried all the paths yet!"*
Are you out of your minds?
The last "path" we took, over 40,000 of us didn't come home. On that path, a live bullet flew centimeters past my ear and right past the head of the most precious person in my life. I almost lost my best friend forever on that asphalt. What goddamn path is left to take?
Why do you trample on the spilled blood of my compatriots? Why do you spend your time fighting Crown Prince @PahlaviReza instead of listening to a crushed, bleeding nation?
Last night, I watched his speech. Do you know what I felt?
Relief.
The profound relief of hearing an honorable man echo the exact pain and demands of his people, with more precision than anyone else. And I felt pride. I felt absolute pride in the truth, structure, and beauty of his words.
Do you know how heartbreaking it is that pride is a foreign, alien emotion for an Iranian today? He gave that back to us.
We screamed his name with all our might. 40,000 of our fallen heroes signed his leadership with their own blood.
Stop fighting our choice.
Listen to us.
Wow.
Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson clips were shared by Iranian Regime State Media four times in the space of an hour.
Tells you everything you need to know really doesn’t it?
I wonder if, after the murder of six Palestinians tonight in Hebron by an Iranian missile, there will be protests on campuses. I wonder if Mamdani will condemn it. I wonder if Al Jazeera will go into a frenzy.
So interesting.
Joe Kent resigns and within an hour, he is booked on Tucker Carlson’s show.
As soon as the show drops, hundreds of accounts all at once post the same clip with the same messaging.
None of this is organic.
Iran's regime invested in a vast foreign lobby of journalists, scholars, and NGO advocates precisely for this moment. On PBS, BBC, CNN, etc I am hearing their talking points and little else. No wonder people in the West can't understand why the Iranian people welcome this war.
BREAKING: A group of Islamists physically attack and beat a Jewish person who simply eating lunch as a cafe in San Francisco.
Look at Europe—do Americans not see what’s coming?
I caught this guy paying protestors at the @DemSocialists rally in NYC. This is all manufactured chaos and they're doing it well. They're organized and it does not stop with one mayor. The recipets are all below as usual and the full video is in the comments.
So let me get this straight.
Iranians who lived Iran have gotten it all wrong.
Venezuelans who lived Venezuela have gotten it all wrong.
Cubans who lived Cuba have gotten it all wrong.
But you—who have never left the four corners of your own sublime comfort—are the bearers of truth?
Ilhan, just for your information
We Iranians don't give a shit about Ramadan
I'm having lunch right now
We are waiting for the US attack to overthrow your friend the Ayatollah
Danser sur I will survive, en pleine guerre, dans un abri à Tel Aviv, célébrer la joie, la vie, et la victoire éternelle du peuple juif sur ceux qui veulent l'éliminer à chaque génération
Ne serais-ce pas notre ADN finalement ?
עם ישראל חי!
