[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Before her execution, she recorded a message for her mother:

"I want the world to know what is being done to me."

Reyhaneh Jabbari was 19 when a former intelligence officer tried to sexually assault her. She fought back. He died. She spent seven years in Evin Prison. The world signed petitions. Iran sharpened the rope. She was 26. Iran hanged her anyway.
Rs
Under Sharia law in Iran, to prove rape, a woman must produce four male witnesses to the act itself.

Four. Male. Witnesses.

If she cannot, her accusation becomes a confession. She is no longer the victim. She is the criminal and faces flogging. Or prison. Or death.

This is not ancient history. This is the law that is still on the books today. The law that Abdul El-Sayed is asking Americans not to fear.

Women in Iran don't have a #MeToo movement. They have a noose.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero regret and openly boasting about tormenting people. The man was wounded in the blast. Every single day, ordinary people in Kherson face these Russian "safaris."

The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians. Without pressure on Russia, the dismantling of its capacity for aggression, and real security guarantees, it is simply impossible to imagine the world being able to coexist with this evil. We must remain resolute in defending life. We must act and support life in ways that force Russia to seriously think about peace rather than expanding the range of its drones.

This is not just about Ukraine. Russia’s campaign against human life must be stopped here in Ukraine before it spreads further. Finland and Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Poland, the countries of the South Caucasus, Romania, and Moldova—all should work together to ensure real security guarantees and bring Russia’s war to an end. Peace is needed, which requires cooperation among everyone in the world who truly values peace. Thank you to everyone standing with Ukraine!

This morning Boy George has been banned from Bandcamp where his song fighting Jew hatred was available for download.

Last week, my friend Alyssa Rosenheck had her book launch cancelled because her book is about fighting Jew hate.

Did you hear about the kosher restaurant that was burned to the ground in Montreal this weekend?

And yet, silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

The Great Gaza Scam; Just Listen to Hamas: What you’re seeing in this video is the plain truth, even though it’s coming from slain Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh. I was directly involved in one of the efforts he’s indirectly referring to. This is a confession from a jihadist organization responsible for immense harm, acknowledging that Gaza’s blockade & conditions were not because Israel was hell‑bent on blocking development. Israel became the lazy, convenient explanation & excuse for people unwilling to look beneath the surface and understand what actually happened in Gaza over the last twenty years.

Here, the head of Hamas admits there were real offers on the table: an airport, a seaport, new industries, major cash infusions – opportunities dating back to 2014. Former Israeli officials like Shaul Mofaz floated plans to raise tens of billions for Gaza’s development, and large parts of Israel’s security establishment were open to letting Gaza grow and prosper. Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Western governments were prepared to invest serious money, far beyond just humanitarian aid.

In 2015, I launched a multi‑year effort to build an internationally run, Israeli‑approved airport in al‑Mawasi, southern Gaza Strip. The proposal drew intrigue from senior Israeli officials, including Herzi Halevi and Avigdor Lieberman. In 2017, through intermediaries, I even appealed directly to Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s former chief and architect of October 7, urging him to consider the airport proposal and think strategically about Gaza’s future.

So, what was the price that Israel and the world wanted in exchange for all of this?

As Haniyeh states in this video, the price was Gaza’s disarmament and demilitarization so that it wouldn’t be dragged into endless, self‑destructive wars. Hamas was offered a dignified off‑ramp: integrating its employees and former fighters into civilian police, receiving salaries, and shifting toward nation‑building instead of terrorism. That offer was real, with a political pathway for the group.

After October 7, and Gaza’s vast destruction, tens of thousands killed, and $ billions wasted, Hamas is forcibly entertaining disarmament and demilitarization. This video exposes the “resistance” cheerleaders who celebrated October 7 and the Westerners who insist Gaza could never have developed because of Israel. Listen to Hamas; whether you support them or think they are useful idiots, Gaza’s development was blocked because the terror Islamist group turned the territory into a fortress of violence, tunnels, rockets, smuggling, and radicalization. And no, Gaza and the West Bank are not comparable cases. Gaza had a genuine chance to become the crown jewel of the Palestinian people, a truly compelling model of prosperity and self‑rule.

The pathway forward requires introspection, accountability, responsibility, and Palestinian agency.

Where is the outrage from the world? Iran is executing people for political reasons & no one says a word?

[olexander scherba🇺🇦 @olex_scherba]

Today, Ukraine carried to grave the six members the Voronov family killed last week in 🇺🇦 Radushne by a targeted russian strike. Mostly kids. The youngest 18 months old.

Remains of five more family members undergoing DNA-test.

Damned Russia…

@MairavZ @markmackinnon The antisemitic remarks in these comments are horrific. Listen to yourselves. These were obviously tortured human beings and you do not know the cause of their anguish. Cheering is utterly barbaric.

@MarkJCarney Fine, as long as we aren’t making our canola industry DEPENDENT on the Chinese gov’t. If (when?) they take issue with one of our other policies or grab our citizens off their streets, we won’t be caving to save canola, right? Eyes wide open, right?

[Sheri 🇨🇦 @Sllinq]

@RepDonBacon And what say you on the leader of your own party and his sexual assault convictions and numerous sexual assault allegations (and the words admitting as such from his own lips)?

[Sheri 🇨🇦 @Sllinq]

@coldxman There are bad calls in sports all the time. The rule of sport is that you accept the officials’ call, even when you deem it to be unfair (after exhausting available means of protest). This is corrupt and stinks to high heaven. Imagine if it was a different country doing this??

[Sheri 🇨🇦 @Sllinq]

@Scaramucci I appreciate the sentiment but here in Canada we’ve had watch parties with our British and N Irish friends, rooting for both Canada and England. Do you see how we sometimes tire of the American attitude of “we’re the only, the best…”

It is very important to know at least some names and faces. Otherwise, mass murder is an abstraction. Every day proves that Putin's Russia is a terror-state, and the civilized world ought to unite to oppose it.

[Margaret McCuaig-Johnston 🇨🇦 @M_Johnston1]

Apparently the agreement between the RCMP and China’s MPS can’t be made public because Beijing wants it to be secret. Our govt is now reduced to implementing Beijing’s secrecy policies. Not a good look for a democracy.

[Anders Fogh Rasmussen @AndersFoghR]

The world's democracies are being targeted one by one. That has to stop.

China has imposed trade boycotts on Australia, Lithuania, South Korea and Canada. Each time, the target stood alone. Each time, it worked.

The answer is not self-sufficiency. It is collective action.

Today I launch After the Rupture: An alliance of middle-power democracies led by a D-7: seven democracies representing 30% of the global economy, acting together on trade, technology, critical minerals and defence.

Not a new institution. A coalition of the willing, and the able.
