This is probably the most important video you will ever see. It explains absolutely everything.

While propagandists and podcasters line up to tell you how Israel are the bad guys, the “oppressors” of the poor innocent Palestinians, and of the poor innocent fighters of Hezbollah, and Tucker Carlson telling you how lovely the Islamic regime are and that it’s Israel who are trying to build “Greater Israel” rather than the jihadists wanting the greater caliphate, the jihadists themselves tell you a very different story.

I’ll bet most people haven’t ever seen this video, and I hope you’ll all share it everywhere. This is a young Hassan Nazrallah talking about who and what Hezbollah really is, who rules them, and importantly, what their true intentions and goals are:

“We are an Iranian project, our leadership is in Tehran and not in Beirut. Our goals are to subjugate ALL the countries of the region, not just Lebanon, to the authority of the Supreme Leader in Tehran.”

Do you get it now?

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.

AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Why does Israel believe it has a right to possess nuclear weapons but that Iran does not have that same right?

FACT:
Israel is the only country in the world that has been openly threatened with extinction by its neighbors since its rebirth in 1948. Discussion about Israel’s nuclear weapons should begin only when Israel’s existence is accepted in the region. If Israel does have nuclear weapons, we will never know about them unless Israel is attacked. In contrast Iran has been threatening to annihilate Israel for years and is promising to enrich enough uranium to do so. There is a difference. Israel is not threatening its neighbors. Iran is.

Yesterday I posted about growing up in Lebanon with Mein Kampf and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion on the shelves of Arabic book fairs; books I held before I ever held a Quran. That post went viral. And the most common response I am receiving is this:
"So it's okay to kill people based on the books they read?"

Let me be direct: no one said that. And you know no one said that.

I am one of the children I described. I was handed that literature before I was old enough to choose for myself, and no one in my community thought that was strange. So I am not talking about punishing anyone. I am talking about what we were given; and what it did to us.

We do not hesitate to analyze how Nazi propaganda shaped an entire generation of Germans. We do not flinch when scholars examine how Soviet literature produced authoritarian thinking across the Eastern Bloc. But the moment someone points to the same dynamic inside Arab and Islamic culture, the conversation immediately collapses into: "are you calling for violence?"

That is not a response. That is a way of avoiding one.

Ideas have consequences. Culture has consequences. What children are handed shapes what they become; that is not a controversial claim, it is the most basic principle of education. The question worth sitting with is not whether I am justifying harm. The question is why you are so determined to change the subject.

You cannot protect the next generation of Arab and Muslim children from ideological poison if every attempt to name that poison is treated as an act of aggression. The most honest thing I can do for my own people is tell the truth about what we were given to read; and refuse to pretend it did not matter.

This is terrorism not journalism!

FLASHBACK: BBC and CNN’s key Gaza source, Islamic Jihad spokesperson Tariq Salami, was captured and interrogated by Israeli forces.

In the interrogation he openly admits what the media hides: Western journalists willingly accepted Hamas’ propaganda rules for covering the war.

The deal was simple:

• When Hamas rockets hit their own hospitals or schools — blame Israel.

• When Hamas fires from hospitals or hides among civilians — Israel is forbidden to strike, or it’s a “war crime.”

• When Palestinians commit terror — it’s justified because Israel’s very existence offends Muslims.
He also confirmed the Al-Ma’madani Hospital explosion was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket that misfired — but the media and Hamas had already agreed to blame Israel anyway.

This is not journalism.

This is active collaboration with terrorist propaganda.

The Iranian Regime:

>killed 1 million Iranians since 1979
>murders critics of the Regime
>denies women basic rights

>allows child marriage and child rape

The UN:

>puts them in charge of human rights, women’s rights and anti-terrorism policy

2.5million views now. Gaza "genocide" is a hoax and a libel, easily disproven by law, facts and plain common sense. No one has provide a credible response — such as question 10 which is why would Israel facilitate vaccination of 600,000 Gazan children in a purported "genocide."

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

I think about something @EylonALevy said to me every single day.

“Survival means choices.“

It’s so true. So much of the discourse seems to assume we are entitled to an imaginary world where countries don’t have to make difficult choices about national security.

It’s not true for Israel and it’s not even true for us Americans, though we are currently too busy fighting over culture war nonsense to realize people want to conquer us and are winning.

Have you ever talked to a Jewish mother whose child is doing a tour in Gaza, spending sleepless night and wondering if you’ll ever see them again? I have.

Have you ever talked to one whose child is having a mental breakdown from the horrors they saw? I have.

How about one who lost her child in the October 7th attacks? I have.

Israel is making impossible choices to survive. No Israeli wants to do this. No one wants to run into bomb shelters constantly. No one wants to send any more of their children to war. They are exhausted, but they will also do whatever it takes to survive.

I don’t understand why their choice to live is so clear to me and so unfathomable to most Democrats.

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

Over 4/5th of the people taken out were terrorists? That is an EXCELLENT civilian to combatant ratio.

I don’t understand what people expect Israelis to do. Lebanon has been partially captured by Hezbollah, and they indiscriminately target Israel civilians.

Are Jews just supposed to die?

[John Bolton @AmbJohnBolton]

Time to wake up. Iran fortified while America and the Arab world slept.  What we are destroying is a threat we allowed to gather by our own lack of diligence.  This reality is unpleasant, but better to face it now than to deceive ourselves by thinking the ayatollahs will become moderates.  It hasn’t happened in 47 years, and it’s not about to now.

If you look at my tweets, you will see a very careful to criticize “Islamists” and not individuals who believe in Islam.

Islamism is the fundamentalist worldview that seeks to implement an Islamic state.

It’s identical to Christian theocrats. No one has ever cared when I’ve criticized the latter.

But the public-policy stakes are so much more serious for Islamists. Christian extremists suck, but despite America being a Christian majority country we’ve arrived at jurisprudence that protects women and LGBT people.

There is no Christian equivalent of ISIS, Al Qaeda or the IRGC.

I do believe Islamism is a remarkably dangerous ideology, and anyone who lived through 9/11 should have the same assessment.

There’s no conflict between having that national security assessment and believing in an individual’s right to worship or not worship as they wish.

[superdave888 @superdave888]

@CMShehbaz Taco Tuesday again. How many extensions and reprieves is this guy going to give? Obviously they will just use this to regroup and be more threatening to the world, and meanwhile they will execute more people. A ceasefire is not going to end theocracy nor end their hate. Shameful.

A short🧵for those insisting on a fiction: the Strait of Hormuz is not Iran’s sovereign toll gate, private cash machine, or maritime revenue stream. It is an international strait used by the world. Geography may give Iran a coastline on one side of it. It does not give Iran the right to invoice the rest of the planet for passage.

[Siaxares 🇮🇷 سیاکسارِس @siaxares]

As an Iranian who stayed connected through Starlink during the total internet blackout, I want to wholeheartedly confirm what President Trump just said:

"The Iranian people want to be free. They have lived in a world that you know NOTHING about."

For 47 years, my people have endured systematic torture, rape, murder, humiliation, anxiety, suppression, and grief under the Islamic Republic. It’s been a long, grinding suffering — punctuated by brutal spikes like the January protests, mass executions, and now war. The world has no idea of the scale or depth of these horrors. Only when this evil regime finally falls will the full truth pour out — in quality and quantity that will shock humanity.

We have now reached a point where almost no cost is too great if it rids us of this regime. Because the cost of it staying in power is infinitely higher.

If you’re reading this and you can’t understand how any Iranian could feel relief at their own country losing a war and getting bombed… I envy you. You have never lived what we have lived. You have never watched your people, friends, family, and loved ones get tortured, raped, or killed almost daily and over half a century. You have never seen an entire nation slowly but brutally suffocated like this.

We tried every alternative imaginable: massive protests, dissent, peaceful reform, negotiations — everything. None of it worked. The regime’s answer has always been bullets, gallows, and more terror.

Now, less than 24 hours before Trump’s deadline, I write this with a heavy heart from inside Iran:
Whatever happens next — if there is still an Iran left to save and this regime is gone — the Iranian people will be happy with the result. No matter the cost. Because the cost of the regime remaining is higher, and for many of us, death itself is preferable to another day under this nightmare.

This is the true sentiment of the majority of Iranians — the voice of a people who often have no internet, no platform, and no way to be heard.

The world will soon understand why we say:
Anything to be free. Anything to end this evil.

There is no ethnic cleansing of Arabs. There never was.

But, if you want to have a serious discussion about ethnic cleansing, then let’s talk about a real one… the ethnic cleansing of the Jews from all Arab lands.

If 5 years ago, somebody would have told you that in 5 years time, those who call themselves humanitarians would be defending radical Islam, suicide bombings, driving into a kindergarten with a truck full of explosives, the mass slaughter of protesters, daily hangings from cranes, systematic blinding in one or both eyes, medieval torture, forced confession, and total nationwide repression and internet blackout…

Would you have believed them?
