On October 8, 2023, the morning after Hamas’s attack on Israel, I recorded my first video.
I had moved to the US only a couple of months earlier, and I had no presence on social media, for 15 years in the Middle East I’d had to keep a low profile for security reasons.
That morning I was furious, I took my phone, stepped outside the apartment my family and I were renting, and explained how Hamas, and Iran behind it, could not have allowed Saudi Arabia to sign a peace treaty with Israel, something the Saudi crown prince had alluded to a week earlier in an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News.
I explained how Hamas couldn’t afford to lose the cover of the so-called Palestinian cause, and how Iran, from a strategic perspective, couldn’t lose the one door that had bought it acceptance in the Sunni world.
Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood needed Palestine to keep waging jihad under that pretext without colliding with the semi-secular Arab states.
Iran needed Palestine to infiltrate the Sunni world by appealing to the Sunni public’s dissatisfaction with their own leaders.
The video went viral. People started asking me questions, and I kept recording, in Arabic, posting on TikTok until November 2024, when I realized the West needed my voice more than the East did, and I began publishing in X.
Almost three years later, Israeli TV has just aired a documentary on secret documents that prove the accuracy of the analysis I gave that morning, on October 8.
I am proud to be teaming up with Karen Bass' brother in suing his sister for her reckless negligence that led to the destruction of our homes. I hope their Thanksgiving dinner isn't too awks. I know ours hasn't been the same since last year...
As someone who’s been singing the National Anthem at rodeo events for over 20 years, I’ll just say….
There’s a way it was intended to be sung, without your own spin. This was 💯the way! Bravo!
Victor Wembanyama (in French) is asked what he is looking to improve on over the summer:
🇫🇷: Victor, after these Finals, what do you want to improve the most this summer? On the court or off the court, what area of improvement have you identified for yourself before next season?
👽: I'm going to work even harder, obviously, to be even more durable and, above all, to keep a fresh mind and maintain control of the game at all times. That's what really stands out about Jalen Brunson, for example. There are too many moments—and it doesn't come from bad intentions—but there are too many moments where I'm passive, where I don't have the control over the game that I'd like to have, and it ends up costing us.

This is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! A freaking SERVICE DOG for crying out loud!
This dog needs to be out of this horrible shelter immediately! There is no way a service dog should be killed in such a terrible way. If you know of a veteran in need please let them know! Help save him
In 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain stepped off a plane waving the Munich Agreement, declaring “peace for our time.”
Chamberlain thought he had avoided war when he negotiated the deal with Hitler; in reality, he had postponed it, while empowering Hitler in the process.
Hitler wasn’t looking for peace, he needed time, and the desire for diplomacy only fed his momentum.
He signed deals not to keep them, but to rebuild.
Today, the U.S. is making the same mistake.
The Islamic Republic is not a nation with nuclear ambitions; it is a regime animated by a theological mandate. “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” are its policies.
Iran’s nuclear pursuits are not just strategic. They are messianic.
The regime’s belief in the return of the Mahdi is entwined with a doctrine that views chaos as a sacred precondition for divine intervention.
To believe that such a regime can be neutralized through treaties is to repeat Chamberlain’s mistake.
Any deal that fails to dismantle Iran’s terror infrastructure is handing time, money, and legitimacy to a regime that sees a truce as a phase of warfare.
Israels GDP is 540 billion dollars.
If you think our 3.8 billion dollars of aide, of which 3.2 billion is spent towards our GDP in American factories by American weapons, is us supporting their way of life you must have taken 17 booster shots.
No one can be that dumb.
Knicks superstar and Finals MVP Jalen Brunson married his high school sweetheart, Dr. Ali Marks — a Jewish physical therapist — in a beautiful 2023 Jewish ceremony.
They signed the ketubah, stood under the chuppah, and danced the hora with pure joy!
A love story that honors Jewish tradition. This is what makes us proud. 🕎
Mazel tov to the Brunsons! Am Yisrael Chai! 🏀

Las declaraciones de Víctor Wembanyama tras la derrota anoche:
“La sensación que nos deja es que no estábamos preparados. Yo no estaba preparado para ganar un anillo. Eso es evidente. En términos de voluntad de hacerlo bien, de intensidad y de esfuerzo, estábamos preparados y yo estaba en un buen nivel. Pero la experiencia… Son errores. No nos falta talento, capacidades, pero cometemos demasiados errores y yo cometo demasiados errores. Hay demasiados momentos en los que soy pasivo, demasiados momentos en los que no tengo el control sobre el juego que me gustaría tener. Y eso nos cuesta… “
Our room for the coming days in Houston. I don’t even know what to say about this. This is just unreal. No words.
Huge huge thank you to JJ Watt for giving me and my friends the opportunity to stay at a place like this🙏🙏🙏
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 The moment Brandon Tatum left Dave Smith and Piers Morgan SPEECHLESS:
"Hamas wanted to kill everybody in Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu should have gone harder, and he should have eliminated Hamas immediately.
In America, if we had faced such brutality, people's heads being cut off, rape, we would have been swift within 48 hours, and we would have caused the most damage that you have ever seen in world history.
There's no genocide in Gaza. Hamas knew they can never beat the IDF. Why did they start the war?"
Thank you for your voice of reason, @TheOfficerTatum 🙏
The final surviving puppy from the breeder on Skid Row just passed. This breeder was known by police and animal control for months. He was inbreeding dogs. Six are now dead. It’s time to dismantle Skid Row once and for all.
This is a Jordanian lawyer, a woman, who says on national TV that religion comes before the law, and that honor killing is natural and the family’s right.
This is one of the things we at IDI @idicenter are trying to explain to American officials.
There’s a gap between the written laws and the tyranny of public opinion in Islamic countries.
For example, when an Islamic country writes into its law that all citizens are equal, that law doesn’t reflect the reality of life for non-Muslims.
There is not one single Islamic country where non-Muslims have the same rights as Muslims. Zero. None.
Knicks fans heading to the Frost Bank Center for Game 5 tonight might be in for a massive surprise at the gate.
In addition to the news reported earlier, the Spurs have been actively tracking unauthorized secondary market listings (StubHub, Vivid, FB groups) and revoking season ticket memberships for violating resale policies.
If you bought from an unverified platform, those seats might already be completely voided and canceled. 🎟️❌ #NBAFinals #GoSpursGo #Knicks
If there’s only one thing I want you to remember as someone who actually grew up in Iran, it’s this:
A bully only backs down when he faces a bigger bully.
Trump’s approach is messy, unconventional, and disruptive, but that’s exactly why it has a real chance of working. Because the regime itself is messy, unconventional, and disruptive.
This is not a normal government. It doesn’t play by any rules, and it doesn’t care about looking good or ethical.
Anyone who tries to act diplomatic or “proper” with them has already lost. For the mullahs, diplomacy has always just been a fancy word for lying, deceiving, and hiding their true intentions.
Now they’ve run into someone their old tricks don’t work on. Someone who flips the table whenever he feels like it, who doesn’t care about diplomatic etiquette, and who is completely unpredictable to them.
They can’t outsmart him like they used to. Messing with the lion’s tail this time could cost them dearly, because unlike Obama, Trump actually has his finger on the trigger, and unlike @netanyahu , nothing is holding him back.
Another reason his style seems so chaotic is that the global system and other powers have long benefited from keeping the status quo, a corrupt system that quietly protected the regime. Trump is breaking that old order apart.
For Trump, this whole negotiation and deal-making process is basically a soft war. It’s a deliberate strategy to gradually disarm and weaken the regime piece by piece, at minimum cost.
Even if a deal is reached, he won’t stop, He’ll continue until the regime is so eroded and weak that the Iranian people finally have a fair chance to confront and defeat it themselves.
It won’t happen overnight, but if you look at the direction things are going, the trend is clear.
President Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s not performing for us. He’s taking massive risks with his political capital.
It’s a big gamble, yes, but it doesn’t mean it won’t work. And if one person can actually pull Iran out of this cancer, it’s him. No one else. Trust the man, trust the process.
