🚨 WHATSAPP FOUNDER DONATES RECORD $200 MILLION TO ISRAELI HOSPITAL

WhatsApp founder Jan Koum is donating $200 million to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.

It is reportedly the largest philanthropic gift in Israel’s healthcare history.

The donation is expected to help triple the size of the hospital, which currently has about 1,000 beds, and fund a new inpatient tower that will also include housing for medical staff.

Bill Maher: “You’re a Democrat running possibly for [President in 2028], and you’re Jewish. And this is somehow maybe a complete deal breaker in the Democratic Party. I mean, the speed at which antisemitism has gone to a place where I never imagined it would go.”

“Just this past week, bombings at synagogues in Toronto, Belgium, and Michigan. The guy drove a truck with explosives into the largest synagogue in West Bloomfield, Norway. They arrested someone. Suspicious behavior outside of the synagogue in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.”

“I see a pattern here. And somehow it got to where among the young people, antisemitism got to be kind of cool.”

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro: “There are seeds of antisemitism being planted all over this country… Folks are looking the other way and nodding toward it and allowing it to happen in their businesses, on their screens, and in their politics, and we have to speak up about it.”

What you don’t understand about these protests is this: Iranians of EVERY generation are risking it all for freedom.

Teenagers who have never known life outside the Islamic Regime.

Parents whose childhoods were violently stolen in 1979.

Grandparents who still remember the golden age of Iran before Islamofascism.

This isn’t a phase. This is a nation, rising up across generations, to reclaim itself.

Free Iran ☀️🦁

⚠️ VIEWER WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
This is why the Iranian regime shut down the internet.
They are trying to hide mass shootings, killings, and brutal crackdowns on their own people. Darkness protects the regime.
But thanks to @elonmusk and @Starlink, the blackout is being pierced.
Footage and documentation are still getting out. The world is seeing the atrocities the regime wants buried.

So Iran slaughtering its own people doesn’t even merit a protest from the phony pro-Hamas activists who have been making fools of themselves.

The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world.

Ideally, to cover an uprising is not just to show crowds and slogans. It requires answering a basic question: why are people risking death? In Iran, the answer is simple and unavoidable. The people are rising up because the Islamic Republic of Iran has spent decades suffocating every aspect of life—speech, work, family, art, women, and economic survival—under a clerical system that treats liberty as a crime. There is no way to tell that story without confronting the nature of the regime.

Western media refuses to do so because it has fundamentally misunderstood Islam. Or worse, it has chosen not to understand it.

Islam, in Western progressive discourse, has been racialized. It is treated not as a belief system or a political ideology, but as a stand-in for race or ethnicity. Criticizing Islam is framed as an attack on “brown people,” Arabs, or “the Middle East,” as if Islam were a skin color rather than a doctrine.

This confusion is rooted in historical illiteracy. Western liberal media routinely collapses entire civilizations into a single stereotype: “all Middle Easterners are Arabs,” “all Arabs are Muslim,” and “all Muslims are a monolithic, oppressed identity group by white European colonizers.” Iranians disappear entirely in this framework. Their language, history, and culture—Persian, not Arab; ancient, not colonial; distinct, not interchangeable—are erased.

By treating Islam as a racial identity rather than an ideology, Western media strips millions of people of their ability to reject it. Iranian protesters become unintelligible. Their rebellion cannot be processed without breaking the rule that Islam must not be criticized. So instead of listening to Iranians, the media speaks over them—or ignores them entirely.

There is another reason the Iranian uprising is so threatening to Western media is economic issues.

As you know, Iran is not only a religious dictatorship. It is a centrally controlled, state-dominated economy where markets are strangled, private enterprise is criminalized or co-opted, and economic survival depends on proximity to political power. Decades of price controls, subsidies, nationalization, and bureaucratic micromanagement have obliterated the middle class and entrenched corruption as the only functional system. The result is not equality or justice. It is poverty, stagnation, and dependence on government’s dark void of empty promises.

Covering Iran honestly would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful. They have been tried. They have failed. Catastrophically.

This is deeply inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control, centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives to liberal capitalism. Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology. It shows that when the state controls livelihoods, non-conformity becomes existentially dangerous. That lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining the moral authority of those who advocate similar ideas in softer language.

Western liberal media prefers not to hear this. Acknowledging it would require abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse: oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, white and non-white. Iranian protesters do not fit. They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention imposed from outside, but something many societies are actively trying to escape.

That is what terrifies Western liberal media. And that is why the Iranian people are being ignored.

So the silence continues.

BREAKING:

𝕏 has officially changed the Iranian flag emoji

It now shows Iran’s historic Lion and Sun flag instead of the Islamic Republic flag, a symbol of the Iranian monarchy, strength, and ancient heritage used officially until the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Too many people don’t take antisemitism seriously because they just can't get their heads around it. How could it really be this uniquely pervasive and enduring? We need a better understanding if we want any hope of overcoming the skepticism, disinterest, and worse out there.

@RoniNYTimes I was disappointed by your misleading @nytimes article on LASIK. You (under)reported that LASIK was over 90% successful when you were well aware the FDA itself found the success rate to be 96-98%. I thought this was all about giving patients accurate information?

[Mitch Shultz MD @mitchshultzmd]

@n8radcliffe @RoniNYTimes @nytimes Totally Agree as both LASIK surgeon and Patient. Had Lasik as a fellow 26 years ago and have treated thousands of happy patients. Contact lens wear has more complications than LASIk but no one is about to call for a ban on them!
