The most intelligent factual in-depth conversation about Oct 7 that I’ve seen take place at any college across America or the entire west.
It has 10 views.
It should have 2 billion views.

There’s something particularly grotesque about responding to a Lebanese Jew describing his family fleeing persecution with a smug joke.

“Is Islam in the room with you now?”

No. That rather seems to be Gad’s point. His family escaped the people who wanted them dead.

Perhaps listen to people who actually lived through this instead of sneering at them.

[Elica Le Bon الیکا‌ ل بن @elicalebon]

The best part of this is the accidental admission that he’s only safe because Islam is no longer in the room with him.

[Elica Le Bon الیکا‌ ل بن @elicalebon]

This is unbelievable. I thought it was AI.

Abdul El-Sayed advocates for sharia law in the U.S.

He argues that the U.S. banned sharia because of hate and discrimination, and the forces that banned it are the same forces that committed [insert every historic evil].

This is obscene political propaganda, putting sharia law in the same category of victimhood as historic American tragedies.

It’s a perfect example of how illiberal movements use liberal politics as a Trojan horse to smuggle in authoritarianism.

But you are right about one thing, Abdul. You don’t know what it means.

Iranians do, and their message is clear:

Fuck you, and fuck your sharia law.

The co-chair of the DSA says she would have attended a pro-Hamas rally on October 8th.

3 years in, and the fiction of “freedom fighting” lives on. Hamas is an Islamist group that committed October 7th to establish a theocratic state under sharia law in place of Israel.

There will be no more gaslighting about who the DSA are.

Mamdani refused to attend Israel’s independence day parade.

He said he will not support any state that privileges one religion over another.

In Israel, Jews and Muslims have equal rights.

Today, he attended Pakistan’s Independence day parade. A state that privileges one religion over another.

In Pakistan, Muslims and non-Muslims do not have equal rights.

I don’t care where you’ve been, but I urge you to stand with Iranians now.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

To those who say "it's her choice" I used to say the same thing about my own Hijab.

I was covered head to toe. Even on the beach. Even with my male relatives. And when people challenged me, I said: this is my choice. You know why? Because the other option was burning in hell, hung by my hair for eternity. That's what they taught me since childhood.

Yes, let me repeat it for you to just understand about our version of “freedom of choice.” I grew up in an Islamist culture that gave me two options. Cover yourself and go to heaven. Or don't cover, and be hanged by your hair and burned in hell.

Like when someone puts a gun to your head and says "you can go left or right", technically, yes, that's a choice.

I picked heaven. I called it freedom. And I believed it, because that's what happens when fear is all you've ever known.

And if you think I shouldn't be telling you my story, I don't care. I really, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, don't care. The women still living under that "choice"? I care about them.

Iran executed two political prisoners convicted of “spying and intelligence cooperation with Israel” early on Monday, the judiciary's Mizan news agency reported, extending a recent surge in executions tied to national security charges.

Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat, the judiciary's news outlet said, were executed on Monday, after Iran's Supreme Court upheld their death sentences.

According to Mizan, the two men transmitted “coordinates, images and information about Iranian military and security sites to officers from Israel's Mossad intelligence agency and affiliated communication channels” during what it described as the 12-day and 40-day wars.

The pair, the report said, were identified and arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' intelligence organization but did not specify when, where or how they were detained.

In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.

I will release it!

Pahlavi will return home

[Sylvan Adams @SylvanAdams_]

I had the honor of meeting Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi in Paris to discuss our 2,500-year biblical bond, and work towards a free and democratic Iran.

Beyond supporting the Iranian people's fight for liberty, I announced the launch of the Iran Peace and Prosperity Fund - a global private investment initiative designed to mobilize international business and capital to rebuild Iran’s economy the moment the regime falls.

To mark this turning point, I presented him with two Jerusalem-stone Mezuzahs, inscribed by an Iranian-Israeli scribe. One will hang at the future Israeli Embassy in Tehran, and the other at the Iranian Embassy in Jerusalem.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with the brave people of Iran as we prepare for a future of freedom, peace, and mutual prosperity.

The regime in Iran is evil. It murders Iranian children. It must be defeated and destroyed.
