This is Shakila Ghasemi. Iranian woman (26), held captive in complete isolation by the Iranian regime since February.
Where are the protests around the world? Where are the UN resolutions? If these women were Palestinian, the world would be rioting. The hypocrisy is deafening.

In the spring of 1944, as hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were deported to their deaths, one man’s background as a disciplined former military officer gave him an unexpected and terrifying role inside the gates of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Erno “Zvi” Spiegel did not carry a weapon or lead an armed uprising. Instead, through quiet ingenuity, compassion & extraordinary moral courage, he saved dozens of young boys from Josef Mengele’s pseudo-scientific experiments and the gas chambers.
Born on 5 January 1915 in Budapest, Spiegel’s family later moved to Munkács (now Mukachevo), then part of Czechoslovakia and home to a thriving Jewish community. He served as an officer in the Czechoslovak military, a detail that would later shape his fate.
In May 1944, during the frantic deportation of Hungarian Jews organised by Adolf Eichmann, the 29-year-old Spiegel arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau with his family, including his twin sister Magda, who was married and had a seven-year-old son.
On the selection ramp, chaos reigned. Families were torn apart in seconds. Magda, her son and their mother were initially directed towards the gas chambers. Mengele, obsessed with twins for his genetic research, spotted the siblings and pulled Magda back. Spiegel himself was selected because he was a twin.
When the Nazi doctor learned of Spiegel’s military background, he saw an opportunity. He appointed the young prisoner “Zwillingsvater” - the Twins’ Father and placed him in charge of the barracks housing around eighty young twin boys, some as young as four or five.
Mengele’s warning was blunt: maintain absolute order or face immediate execution. Spiegel could not stop the doctors from taking the children for painful and often lethal examinations. Yet within the narrow confines of his authority, he chose to resist.
Spiegel was required to help the boys complete detailed genetic questionnaires destined for the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin. Non-twins faced immediate selection for the gas chambers. Using a fountain pen he had managed to keep or retrieve from the piles of confiscated belongings, Spiegel falsified records on multiple occasions. He altered birth dates so that unrelated boys of similar age could pass as twins, smuggling them into the twin barracks.
One documented case involved two boys, György & István Kun, whose differing birthdays would have condemned them. Spiegel changed the dates and saved their lives.
He also created a makeshift school inside the barracks. The boys affectionately called him “Spiegel Bácsi” - Uncle Spiegel.
In secret lessons, he taught them geography, history & mathematics, preserving a fragile sense of childhood and normality amid unimaginable horror. He comforted boys who cried for their murdered mothers and instilled rules of mutual responsibility: they had to share any food or possessions, and look out for one another.
Spiegel understood the deadly logic of Mengele’s experiments. A living twin often served as a control; if one died during testing, the healthy twin was frequently killed for a comparative autopsy. By sharing his own meagre rations, monitoring health & morale, and keeping the boys together, Spiegel helped protect entire pairs.
His courage extended beyond daily care. On one occasion, a new SS doctor named Thilo selected all the twin boys for the gas chambers and ordered the barracks sealed. Spiegel broke out, ran to the guards’ station and demanded to speak with Mengele. He informed the “Angel of Death” of the order. Mengele, furious, immediately countermanded it and saved the boys.

During the October 7 attacks on Israeli towns and at the Nova Music Festival, women and girls were rap*d, assault*d, and mutilat*d. Released hostages have revealed that Israeli captives in Gaza have also been sexually assaulted.

This is an official UN employee — acting as a full-blown Nazi propaganda agent — interrupting Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon after she published blood libels against the Jewish state in official UN documents.
Meet Vanessa Frazier.
She is notorious for her vicious, Nazi-style rhetoric against Israel. In recent days she was exposed online after openly vowing to annihilate Israel while sharing images featuring Nazi swastikas replacing the Star of David.
This is who runs the United Nations today.
Not peacekeepers.
Not human rights defenders.
Open Jew-haters and genocide enablers operating under the UN flag.
The UN doesn’t just have an antisemitism problem — it is an antisemitic institution at its core.
It must be defunded, dismantled, and shut down.
Enough with the blood libels.
Enough with the Nazi propaganda coming from the very body created “never again.”
Share this until the world sees the UN for what it truly is: a corrupt platform for modern antisemites and jihadists.
The mask is completely gone.
הסיפור החם עכשיו בדרום לבנון הוא מורתפע עלי אלטהאר או בעברית- רכס עלי טהאר.
הרכס הזה נמצא בין הליטני, הבופור ונבטיה.
אבל מה שמעניין הוא דווקא מה שקורה מתחתיו- שם נמצא מתקן אסטרטגי מרכזי של חיזבאללה שהוא מעין חדר מצב ששולט בלחימה שלהם בדרום לבנון. כרגע צה"ל שולט באיזור ונצורים שם כ-30 מחבלי חיזבאללה.
חיזבאללה דרך המשטר האיראני מנסים לכפות על צה"ל לסגת ולמעשה להציל את המחבלים האלה ואת המתקן. זה מבחן אמת למדינה שלנו, בדיוק כמו שהיה עם המחבלים הנצורים ברפיח.
אסור לסגת, אסור לאפשר למחבלים האלה לברוח. צריך להשמיד אותם יחד עם המתקן התת קרקעי!

אסון ענק הלילה בלבנון- 4 חללים מתקיפת רחפן נפץ של חיזבאללה על טנק מג"ד 52.
המג"ד סא"ל דור גדליה בן שמחון, בן 32 מבית השיטה, נפל יחד עם חייליו לצוות.
דור שנכנס לתפקידו לפני חודשיים בדיוק, רגע אחרי שהמג"ד הקודם נפצע קשה. הוא קיבל על עצמו את הפיקוד בשעה מורכבת, והוביל את לוחמי הגדוד בנחישות ובאחריות לאורך תקופת הלחימה בלבנון בחודשיים האחרונים.
הותיר אחריו אישה ו-2 בנות קטנות שיגדלו בלי אבא, אבל יידעו תמיד שהוא נפל עבור המדינה ולמען העתיד שלהן.
יהי זכרו ברוך גיבור ישראל🇮🇱🕯
יהי זכרם של כל הצוות.
שנהיה ראויים.

The iPad remains the most pointless device in apple’s lineup.
I’ve pretty much owned every single one including the current iPad Pro with the matte screen. It’s been collecting dust. Still haven’t figured out what to use it for.
- I don’t draw.
- Most of my work, iPhone 17 pro max works.
- Serious work, MacBook Air or pro.
- Netflix etc? Apple TV
What am I using an iPad for?
Someone please prove me wrong.
I so want to love it but just can’t figure out where it fits into my workflow.
Do you have an iPad? What do you use it for?
A Palestinian nationalist walks into a bar in 1920 and orders a drink.

Israel is not a client state. It is a sovereign, independent, and powerful nation.
Its strength has never depended on any foreign leader, it comes from its own people.
While the partnership with the United States has been valuable, Israel has never been a burden. It has delivered massive contributions to American technology, medicine, cybersecurity, and defense, far beyond what most Americans realize.
At a moment when America is facing deep internal and external challenges, turning against one of its most capable and loyal allies is not just shortsighted, it is self-destructive.
Those who believe they are weakening Israel by attacking it are actually weakening America’s own interests.
Iran Cancels Switzerland Talks After Getting Everything They Wanted
The United States just gave Iran almost everything they wanted, sanctions relief, kept their nuclear infrastructure, and a very weak deal, with almost no real concessions from Tehran.
And yet, Iran is still unhappy and still making more demands.
This tells us everything we need to know about who actually has the upper hand.
If Trump wants to surrender to Iran, that’s his choice. He just shouldn’t expect Israel to surrender with him.
Iran spat in America’s face the day after the deal by announcing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Vance looked at the spit running down his face and said: ‘There’s no evidence of spit.
