How dare you? Prime Minister @sanchezcastejon

How dare you use the bodies of thousands of murdered Iranians as political ammunition of your domestic battles?
Mr. Pedro Sánchez,
Our suffering is not your political theater.
You spoke more than 1,600 words about war and morality, yet barely a word about the real war the Islamic Republic has been waging against unarmed Iranians for decades.

More than 32,000 people have been killed by the Islamic Republic in Iran.
Women shot in the eyes.
Hospitals stormed to finish off the wounded.

I invite you to be brave.

Watch the videos of body bags piled on top of each other in the streets of Iran.
Listen to the doctors and nurses who describe how security forces stormed hospitals to finish off the wounded protesters.

Then look into my eyes.

I survived three assassination plots by the same regime you still treat as a diplomatic partner. The FBI warned me that their killers operate even here in the West.

Spain should understand this better than anyone.

Spain is a country that emerged from dictatorship and rebuilt democracy. For millions of Iranians, Spain could be a symbol of hope, a reminder that a nation can leave tyranny behind and build freedom.

You keep the Iranian embassy open.
You shake the hands of officials whose hands are stained with the blood of my people.

Yet you do not even dare to shake the hand of an Iranian woman who carries the scars of this regime’s war against us.

This is not about your political fights.

This is not about left or right.

This is about human freedom.

It is easy to make speeches about peace.
It is harder to confront a regime that has been waging war against its own people for 45 years.

History will remember who chose comfort over courage.

And who stood with the victims.

The Iranian people do not want war.

But we will never accept politicians shaking hands with the regime that declared war on us.

Time is running out for Gazans! What is exceptionally harmful about the stalemate in Gaza is not just the failure to transform the reality and initiate a meaningful transitional period, worse, there is a window of opportunity that I have spoken ad nauseam about, an openness and readiness for something other than Hamas’s fascist Jihadi ideology and the rotten armed resistance narrative, which has only delivered death, loss of land, decimation of hope for millions of Gazans and Palestinians. Part of what has continued to motivate me to work on Gaza and advocate for something different is the true belief that the people of Gaza, not Hamas, not the leadership, not the PA, not Fatah, but the impacted people themselves, are in a radically different place than they have ever been.

Gazans are looking at the totality of the last two decades since Israel’s withdrawal, and Hamas’s abject failure that only produced warfare, instability, aid dependency, and hardship. They are looking at October 7 and the consequences of turning Gaza into a platform for violent terror, entirely unnecessarily, and how the coastal enclave wasted tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid, which is the highest per capita of aid in the entire world, with nothing to show for it. As a result, Gazans were willing and ready for something truly different once the ceasefire went into effect, desperately seeking an alternative and awaiting emancipation from Jihadi fascism, Islamism, the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar, and the grip of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which used Gaza as part of a dirty chessboard for its expansionist ambitions.

Instead, what has been happening for the past five months is nothing short of a disaster on multiple fronts: the ceasefire agreement allowed the terror group to regain full control of Gaza and eliminate any opposition to its control; Hamas has amassed over a billion shekels in cash from taxing commercial trucks entering the Strip; the will of Gazans has been broken into pieces, feeling utterly helpless to effectuate change in the reality. A sense of learned helplessness and fatalism is setting in such that those who are willing to speak out against Hamas and its violent terrorism are dwindling in numbers, receding in prominence, and feeling like nothing makes a difference, and therefore, are no longer speaking out because they feel the US administration has made a cold, and calculated decision to leave Hamas in place.

This is measurable through the tools Realign For Palestine has been using, including data providers that leverage powerful AI tools, geofenced capabilities focused on civilian discourse in Gaza, and Gazan social media to analyze and monitor sentiment, gauge pro- and anti-Hamas sentiment, and quantify how frequently Gazans still oppose Hamas. We are noticing a significant drop off in the quantity and quality of online and social media conversations against Hamas between Gazans, driven by fatalism, hopelessness, apathy, and indifference. This is dangerous and indicates that the window of opportunity to change the mindset, culture, and future of the coastal enclave is continuing to narrow and may soon close. We cannot afford to waste such a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

The recovery of the body of the last Israeli hostage, Ran Givili, from Gaza marks a significant endpoint to a dark and shameful chapter in the Israel and Palestine conflict. It turns the page on a core component of a horrendous attack and massacre carried out by Hamas and other terrorists in Gaza on October 7, 2023. On that day, a large number of civilians on the Israeli side of the border, who were not engaged in combat or hostilities, were mauled, mutilated, slaughtered, and dragged back into Gaza to be pieces of a despicable chessboard. Hostages included women, children, the elderly, and bodies of those who had already been killed inside Israel or were later killed in Gaza during captivity.

Worse, millions around the world found it acceptable, or even commendable, to celebrate the taking of hostages as a valiant act of “resistance,” choosing instead to refer to them as prisoners in a desperate and vile bid to dehumanize their plight and deny their humanity. Even worse, some of the hostage exchanges were weaponized by the dark lords of terror and Hamas's fascist regime, to create spectacles and Super Bowl-like parties “to celebrate” the handing over of the remains of children and their mother, young girls, elderly men, and bereaved individuals.

I felt immense shame and heartache that my once beautiful Gaza and its incredibly kind, generous, and accommodating and respectful people, would be even remotely associated with such a horrendous degradation of human decency, respect for death and suffering, and a failure to understand the damage being done on so many levels. That is the cancer of Hamas and Jihadi-fascism: it has decayed social values from within and set the Palestinian people back by decades, robbing them of their unique cultural heritage and eroding the societal value system from within.

In that sense, Hamas is fully responsible for this crime of depriving people of their humanity and normalizing deeply intolerable actions. People are a product of their environment, and the people of Gaza for two decades have been subjected to horrendous fear, brainwashing, intimidation, violence, propaganda, and horror that produced silence, acquiescence, or groupthink and mob mentality.

While there is much work ahead to rebuild trust, start the long journey of healing and reconciliation, address Gaza’s endless problems, and begin the path to ensuring this does not happen again, I hope that the recovery of the last hostage’s body from Gaza ends a painful chapter and provides closure for the families and people of Israel. I hope this can be an endpoint from which recovery can begin.

While I have numerous/complex/intense thoughts about the Israeli government, the overall discourse, the war, the actions of the far-right, the injustice that many Palestinians are enduring, and much more, today should be about Ran Givili, his family, and the plight of the Israeli hostages and their loved ones, for they deserve empathy, love, and the acknowledgement of their plight.
May we all overcome.

Tucker Carlson is helping Qatar launder the lie that Doha’s financial and political support for Hamas and the group’s vile terrorism is solely because “Israel and the US asked us to do it.” This is a tired lie that ignores so many facts and belittles the extent to which Qatar ideologically and politically was aligned with Hamas’s Muslim Brotherhood narrative, far beyond what Israel and the US hoped to gain out of having the group in a friendly capital that’s easy to spy on.

The Prime Minister states that the relationship began roughly ten years ago, when in fact, Qatar was supporting Hamas during the Second Intifada through Al Jazeera and billions of dollars in free advertising and direct donations. Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani were the architects of support for Hamas; Sheikh Hamad, the father of the current ruler, Sheikh Tamim, even visited Gaza in 2012 and offered Hamas billions in reconstruction funds.

Additionally, what kind of a joke is it for a country to engage in a horrendous set of policies and claim that “well, we were asked to do it by the US, and Israel,” which, by the way, we don’t recognize Israel and don’t have official diplomatic relations with. Trump asked Jordan and Egypt to take in millions of Gazans earlier this year, and both said no, despite being US allies and dependent on US foreign aid. The UAE wouldn’t sever its economic and technological ties with China and Russia to access the F-35 stealth fighter, despite being a wealthy US ally that relies on American support and engagement. The US asked Turkey, Iraq, Libya, and others to implement certain policies, but they said no when it interfered with their national interest.

ONLY Qatar wants to be taken seriously, forgiven, and given a pass for supporting a Jihadi terrorist group in Gaza that enabled Hamas to build tunnels, smuggle weapons, develop rockets, destroy the Palestinian national project, entrench the division with the West Bank, and take two million Gazans as hostages, not to mention, ultimately launch the October 7 massacre that got Gaza annihilated.

What a sick, disgusting joke.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

It is with a heavy heart that I share a grim and dark assessment, which I have been hinting at for a significant amount of time, but have struggled to articulate, and even hesitated to talk about publicly: a terrifyingly large constituency within the Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian-American communities have become far too extreme and radical regarding the issues of Palestine, Gaza, and hatred of the United States and all things Western. Worse, support for and endorsement of Hamas have become mainstream views and can no longer be considered “fringe,” especially within the “pro-Palestine” movement.

Many Muslim and Arab-Americans and their advocacy groups have chosen to become single-issue voters and activists, making Palestine the only rallying cry to mobilize their voters, when numerous other issues and challenges face these two communities. Overt support for Islamism, as CAIR and Linda Sarsour make it clear here in this video, and the aggressive Islamization of the West, is being supercharged on the back of the suffering of the people of Gaza.

I had hoped that support for Hamas among American and European-based Arabs and Muslims would begin to scale back when the war ended, creating some space and margin for introspection, self-critique, and most importantly, recognition that Hamas and violent Jihadi terrorists are not “resistance” or “martyrs” but the fuel for the annihilation of the Palestinian people.

Instead, there is a stubborn unwillingness to offer even the slightest of critique to Hamas and the whole “resistance” narrative, even as Gazans suffer horribly as the group re-establishes its grip on power and control, and the extent of Hamas’s criminality becomes apparent. Worse, many of these “pro-Palestine” personalities are moving on from Gaza entirely, drunk on the recent Mamdani victory, which they view as an extension of their activism and campaigning over the past two years.

It worries me immensely that in the near future, many of the young people involved in what has become the “pro-Palestine” cult in America and Europe will graduate to more violent stages of “activism,” all while worsening the isolation of Arab and Muslim diaspora communities from integrating into their countries of residence and new homelands. I also worry that the Democratic Party will be far too accommodating and tolerant of what are inherently intolerable beliefs, ideas, and actions, all in pursuit of voters who are mobilized by an extreme manifestation of identity politics that has been corrupted with radical academic theories, reckless rhetoric, and slogans.

There is still time to adjust course and reject these trends. However, as long as a confluence of irresponsible Muslim and Arab-American advocacy organizations remains hijacked by extremists and pursues radical audiences for fundraising purposes instead of communal growth, safety, and transformation, there is little hope of change.

Arab and Muslim-Americans are part of this great nation of ours, and many contribute immensely to our country’s success, defense, and prosperity. It is a strategic mistake to tie their fate and future to foreign conflicts, no matter how dear to them, as they adopt extremist and vile slogans and narratives, which worsen divisions and increase cross-community tension and isolation.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

The Foreign Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Varsen Aghabekian, an Armenian Christian, issued a statement calling for Hamas to disarm/surrender its weapons and end the disaster that the terror group started with its Oct. 7 massacre. Soon after, hordes of Hamas heads and activists, including Huthaifa Azzam, the Jihadi Hamas supporter and son of the infamous Palestinian terrorist and al-Qaeda founder, Abdullah Yusuf Azzam, started attacking Varsen for her name, character, and accusing her of not being an Arab, Muslim, or a “real” Palestinian. This, unfortunately, is demonstrative of the Muslim Brotherhood-led terror army that proliferates throughout the Arab world, and those supporters of Hamas who always proclaim to be the vanguards of an incoming Islamic Caliphate that far surpasses a Palestinian State.

Unfortunately, large numbers of idiotic and ill-informed Western activists and supposed journalists still think that Hamas is somehow interested in a Palestinian State as part of a two-state solution or that the terror group and its ideological underpinning allow for anything other than Muslim, Arab supremacy that dominates and suppresses all other ethnic and religious groups. A Hamas victory of any kind would produce scenes that are identical to what we have witnessed in recent months in Syria’s Southern Druze province of As Suwayda or coastal areas populated by Alawites.

The good news is that there are numerous Palestinians who stood up to the son of al-Qaeda’s founder and his ilk, clarifying that Palestinian identity is indeed a diverse one in which Christians and Armenians are founding members of its social fabric.

The bad and horrendous news is that a global army of feminists, queers, leftists, and multi-racial and ethnic activists is clearly and explicitly supportive of Hamas and the so-called “resistance” narrative. These imbeciles haven’t the slightest clue of their role as ‘useful idiots’ to Islamist terrorists like Hamas Salafis, Iranian-sponsored partisans, and global Jihadis who would have no problem using and abusing ill-informed fools to achieve their goals, only to turn against them when the time is right and place them in Islamist-style Gulags

A major diplomatic breakthrough is imminent: the Abraham Accords are set to expand in ways few imagined possible just a few years ago. This new phase isn’t simply a continuation, it marks a fundamental redrawing of regional priorities and alliances.

This profound shift in the Middle East is one rooted in realism rather than old slogans.

The region’s emerging alliances reflect a quiet recognition: technological strength, economic interdependence, and security cooperation are more powerful than decades of ideological posturing.

Israel, long miscast as an outsider, is increasingly viewed as a strategic partner capable of transforming regional futures. Its contributions in defense, water security, agriculture, and innovation make it a necessary pillar in any serious long-term plan for prosperity.

Meanwhile, Hamas embodies a dead-end philosophy: it offers no governance vision beyond chaos, no economic blueprint beyond blockade, and no future beyond perpetual conflict. Its violence against civilians, especially children, is not resistance; it is the antithesis of civilization.

The Arab world’s calculus is shifting from symbolic confrontation to concrete progress. Quietly but firmly, regional leaders and donors understand that investing in militias is investing in instability.

The coming diplomatic expansions will not be about forced friendships or naïve idealism; they will be about aligning with those who can build, innovate, and secure a shared future. In that future, there is no place for hostage-takers or ideological saboteurs, only for partners who value life, growth, and stability.

Do you know why I talk about antisemitism so much? Because as a transsexual woman, my fate is going to be the exact same as the Jews.

After October 7, I really read deeply into the history of antisemitism, not just America, but throughout the world. And the pattern could not be more clear. When societies turn antisemitic there’s like a damn that breaks. And all of society’s worst prejudices come to the forefront. Historically, some really bad stuff happens, and marginalized people do not survive.

If you think America is going to continue on this path and people like me will have employment and healthcare you’re just delusional.

This is why it makes me so uncomfortable when people thank me for standing up to antisemitism. Yes I’m doing it because I value you, but I’m also doing it because I value myself.

My Jewish neighbor’s fate will be the same as my own.

HILO #YALTA2025 Comenzamos el diario reporte con análisis que no producen los medios argentos
Ahí vamos!!

a. Trump, la OTAN y nosotros
1) @potus logró que los socios de la OTAN se comprometan a un gasto del 5% del PBI en Defensa
2) Lo anterior es un esfuerzo enorme, que llevará tiempo, ya que la masa de los miembros están abajo del 2%
3) En Argentina, donde nada de esto es relevante, el gasto es del 0,6% y el 95% del mismo son sueldos y retiros
4) En modo alguno propongo hacer del país uno que "gasta mucho" en Defensa. Al menos que nuestro gasto sea tan eficiente y significativo como el de Chile, Brasil o Perú
5) Ese 0,6% que nosotros dedicamos al área son +/- u$d 3000 millones anuales (nada comparado con el curro del estado argento que aman los populistas), pero esa cifra es una que se aporta para recibir un servicio de defensa inexistente.  Seguramente el próximo gobierno deje de buscar revertir el desastre de la Defensa argenta, algo que llevaría décadas y a la política y los pedorros medios no importa
En todo caso digan que quieren las FFAA para desfiles y hacer de bomberos. Sería al menos dejar de mentir alguna vez

b. Comentarios varios (Bolivia, Irán/Israel, Guerra Europea):
1) En el Ejército de Chile están preocupados por los drones que Irán ha provisto a Bolivia
De ser lanzados contra los blindados chilenos, estos últimos carecen de contramedidas adecuadas
2) Me ha causado gracia el nivel de estupidez con que los judeofoobos argentos, siempre ignorantes, han expresado que Irán ha destrozado a Israel y a su fuerza aérea. Las drogas son un camino de ida...
3) Se habrá seguido con atención tanto la corta guerra Ino Pakistani como la de Israel e Irán en nuestros estamentos profesionales? Para evitar ser sancionado diré algunas cosas que me parece pueden interesar de ambas:
- El carácter aéreo,  espacial, ciber y guerra electronica que tuvieron
- La forma en que se uso la escalada para anular al otro
- El nivel de uso de IA para la toma de decisiones y el procesamiento de datos previo
- La correlación armoniosa entre objetivo político y  empleo del recurso militar
- Vigencia de tecnologías kineticas desarrolladas años atrás
- Estudiar la escalada, las fases y el proceso de "escalar para desescalar"
- Se pueden hacer juegos de guerra en gabinetes con personal militar y político para imaginar soluciones ante situaciones críticas que se desatan de manera muy rápida
4) Ha pasado desapercibido que tanto Trump como su Secretario de Estado y Consejero de Seguridad Nacional (es el único después de Kissinger de tener ambos puestos...) han expresado lo siguiente sobre la guerra euroepa:
- No hay solución militar a la misma
- La única salida es la diplomacia
¿Toda la tribu de ignorantes que por largos tres años me putearon por mis análisis dirán que el gobierno de EEUU está a sueldo de Rusia? Hay que ser muy ignorantes de temas estratégicos y de defensa para creer que Ucrania con la ayuda de la OTAN podía derrotar a Rusia sin usar armas nucleares!!!
5) En Irán las purgas, fusilamientos, pases de facturas están a la orden del día. Algo que les dijimos se venía. En esa dinámica es muy difícil que el delirante régimen de los ayatolas aliados del peronismo k se dedique ahora a reconstruir su plan nuclear. Sin embargo, y como lo mencionamos en otra ocasión, de permanecer el mismo en el poder, lo que es lo más probable, esa pulsión volverá, dado el carácter irracional del sistema iraní. Cuando ello suceda, la respuesta de Israel volverá a ser tan contundente como la de pocos días atrás
