When I first started talking about Corbyn's embrace of my 16-year-old cousin Orly's convicted murderer and my experiences of discrimination and abuse in the "progressive" world I worked in all of my life, Bari reached out to me, not as a journalist seeking to fish for a story, but simply to express genuine human sympathy.

She's an absolute mensch and a brilliant journalist, and I'm so chuffed that she is reaching ever higher heights in her career. She deserves all the accolades. Mazal tov @bariweiss! 👏

There is no greater US threat to its adversaries and major power competitors than Israel. It is the tip of the spear in American global security posture, wielding an opaque strategic doctrine that underwrites CENTCOM’s strategic balance. Israel has the most hardened, technologically capable military and defense industrial complex in the region. It provides an expansive network of intelligence and counterintelligence capabilities, defense tech innovation and acceleration tracks, and a strategic fallback for basing needs in CENTCOM operations. No other power stands in the way of Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and Pakistani influence spreading uncontrollably into the theater. Israel absorbs the diplomatic, reputational and security costs first and the combination of existential stakes and nonnegotiable normative alignment make it dependable under extreme coercive pressure. No other country does more to balance US multitheater load and impose costs on major power competitors eyeing the simultaneity problem for opportunistic openings. No other regional power possesses the capability set, incentives and political will to underwrite the security of critical transcontinental geoeconomic corridors vital for strategic diversification from China’s BRI and adjacent corridors and their nodes. Once understood in its proper geostrategic terms, the reason the US-Israel alliance is under intensified attack becomes manifestly clear.

Charlie Kirk 20 days before he was murdered:

"There is a corner of the internet that blames the Jews for everything. It's demonic and from the pit of hell. It's brain rot."

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

Six years ago, when regime in Iran hanged wrestler Navid Afkari, I launched the United for Navid campaign alongside 50 athletes and activists. We warned the world. No action.
Now it’s happening again.
More protesters. More athletes. On death row.

This time, please don’t look away.
Join us to stop the executions and end the root cause of the endless war in the region: the Islamic Republic.

Thanks CBS for letting me say their names on air.

These five people are not numbers. Not statistics.
They are human beings, executed in Iran for protesting.

Douglas Murray writes: “Tucker Carlson’s podcast has become a remorseless roll call of Holocaust deniers, antisemites, Islamic extremists and World War II revisionists.

While attacking Trump, Carlson eagerly softball-interviews people who love both Hitler and Stalin.

While accusing everyone else of being obsessed with Israel, Carlson has obsessed about nothing else.

While saying “We’re not allowed to talk about Jews,” he has talked about nothing but Jews.

This obsession has culminated in a total derangement over the president’s Iran policy.”

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔

After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite.

Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial.

Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal.

I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices.

This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

If your country has freedom of religion, but members of one religion need to pay millions on security just to safely gather, then your country does not have freedom of religion.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

Tucker was “outraged,” calling it a “dig at the U.S.” after Amb. Huckabee noted that Israel drops leaflets to warn civilians.

3 days ago, he implied American troops are about to “rape the wives and daughters” of Iranian soldiers.

Grotesque and anti-American.

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

I’m not just angry. I’m furious with you Elizabeth Warren.

Stop using the suffering of my people as political ammunition against Donald Trump.

You say you are grieving for those killed in this “unnecessary war.”
Really? I checked your social media. More than 20 posts attacking President Trump after he removed a monster terrorist of Iran, Ali Khamenei, but not one post grieving the massacre of more than 32,000 unarmed Iranian people. Why? Shocking.

More than 10,000 protesters were intentionally blinded by security forces. Young women were shot in the eyes. Students were beaten to death. Families were burying their children. Where were you then?

We are not a tool. The pain of us Iranians is not a talking point for your partisan battles.

As a woman, your silence while women in Iran were being shot, jailed, and blinded is more than disappointing. It is insulting. No it is beyond that. It is a slap in the face of Iranian mothers burying their children who have been killed by Islamic Republic.

I cannot ignore this hypocrisy.
Our suffering did not fit your narrative. Our voices were inconvenient. Now that the situation serves your political agenda, you speak loudly.

Very heartbreaking to see, powerful women in the West totally ignoring Iranians being slaughtered. 💔

Dear @TuckerCarlson

[CBS News @CBSNews]

"I'm being bombarded by different emotions."

CBS News contributor Masih Alinejad, whose parents and siblings live in Iran, says the Iranians she's spoken to are overcome with joy that "their killers have finally been the target of the U.S. government and they see justice; but at the same time, they are worried, they're concerned that if this is not going to lead to regime change... if the American government, the Israeli government only target the military leaders, not the political leaders, then the people of Iran are going to be left alone."

[Amit Segal @AmitSegal]

So now, after Khamenei has been eliminated, can we say that Tucker Carlson is the most prominent antisemitic leader of our generation?

[The Free Press @TheFP]

The FP’s @NellieBowles: My regret isn’t that I once met with Jeffrey Epstein in his NYC home—it’s that I didn’t go back.

“The fact that there’s only one exchange with me in the Epstein files shows my weakness as a reporter: There should have been more.”

Every fair-minded person: please RETWEET this masterpiece.

[AP @Average_NY_Guy]

The late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, one of the most fascinating Jewish minds of the 21st century, said in a powerful speech to the British House of Lords:

“A thousand years of Jewish history in Europe added certain words to the human vocabulary: forced conversion, Inquisition, expulsion, ghetto, pogrom, Holocaust.”

If I may add to the rabbi’s list, in 2025 we have new hidden meaning to some words: canceling, deplatforming, gatekeeping, and “unity.”

Words now used almost exclusively to shut up a Jew, or someone standing up for Jews, when they break their silence and call out evil.

It is times like this when we realize how needed the rabbi was, and moments like these that show how great the loss was with his passing.
