Émeutes? Annonce d’une guerre civile ? Alexis de Tocqueville, le 27 janvier 1848 : « Je crois que nous nous endormons, à l’heure qu’il est, sur un volcan. »
Don't cry, Baba. 😔💔
Hours before his execution, Alireza Raeisi was allowed one final phone call from Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. His father was crying on the line. So Alireza, with hours left to live, tried to comfort the man who raised him.
"What can I do, Baba. They want to take my whole life from me."
Then he asked for one last message:
"Say hello to my uncle. Tell him I'm looking after Ramin over there."
Ramin was his cousin. The son of that same uncle. He was shot dead in the streets of Isfahan during the protests. Now the regime has hanged the other one. At dawn. In secret.
This is what the Islamic Republic calls justice: 18 days of torture. Electric shocks. A forced confession. A trial lasting minutes. An appeal thrown out in less than 48 hours. A gallows built beside a Revolutionary Guard executioner.
They think the rope will end the uprising. The rope is only creating more anger towards society.
When I talk to any of the family members of those who are in prison on the death road, they have a simple demand: tel the world: #StopExecutionsInIran, demand accountability for these unlawful executions. Sanction the judges and executioners. Silence is complicity.

@EmmaReillyTweet@EspenBarthEide Horrific that Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay has blood on her hands. The Nobel Prize should be rescinded and Pillay should be investigated to determine whether dissidents were tortured or killed as a result of her actions
@PeterTatchell@FreeMarwanNow Barghouti had a public trial where the evidence was presented for all to see including foreign media. He was found guilty of 5 murders by a 3 judge panel. He was acquitted on 21 counts to a loophole in Israeli criminal law. He would have been convicted under UK law
@faniaoz They are telling you who they are and what they believe. Even if they sanitise it to make it more palatable it that won’t change what they believe.
I hope the images of Zohran Mamdani having people who claim to be pro-Palestine screaming at him in public and calling him a traitor for attending an October 7th vigil will finally wake people up to what I have been warning about for years.
Please share:
Igal Hecht, the director of "The Killing Roads", has re-released his documentary about October 7th.
He put his own funds and soul into this and released it for free as it is so important.
Please take the time to watch it and share with those whose eyes are closed. Watch it here:

GeoConfirmed conflictmap 7OCT23.
Exactly three years ago, our volunteers were confronted with emerging information and the first footage coming out of Israel and the border with Gaza. Although it took Western media more than a week to grasp the full scale of what happened on 7 October, our volunteers quickly realised that something horrific was unfolding.
While Israel initially provided very little communication about the attacks, Hamas propaganda was operating at full capacity. Many Western audiences encountered the conflict only when the IDF began bombing Gaza, without fully understanding why. This highlights a crucial lesson governments should draw from the conflict: do not allow your adversary to dominate the information environment.
While accounts such as Syrian Girl, WarMonitor (Suspended by X in May 2024), along with many others, downplayed Hamas’s role and focused, sometimes through the spread of disinformation, on the IDF, it became increasingly clear to our volunteers what had happened: This was the deadliest terrorist attack in Israel’s history.
For this reason, we created a dedicated map of the 7 October attacks, compiling all the geolocated footage we could find: https://t.co/E5DL0fzLj6
Even today, media outlets often refer to it simply as a “Hamas attack,” but it was far larger than Hamas alone. We identified several militant groups, most of which are designated as terrorist organisations by the European Union. The groups involved included the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing; the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades; the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP); the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades; the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad; the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement; the Mujahideen Brigades; Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ); and others.
GeoConfirmed’s footage made clear that these groups operated in their own designated areas. Journalists who attribute the attacks solely to Hamas do not tell the full story.
Our team has analysed more than 100,000 videos and other pieces of footage from various conflicts, and some of the most disturbing material we have encountered was recorded during the 7 October attacks.
Below is only a small fraction of that footage.
More footage is available on our website.
THIS FOOTAGE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. However, we believe it is our responsibility to show the context in which Israel’s response took place.
If you notice footage that has not yet been geolocated, or if you have seen footage that is not yet included on the map, please do not hesitate to let us know.
This post is not, in any way, an endorsement of how the IDF responded to the attack.
As lead volunteer Admin of the GeoConfirmed Project I would like to thank all the volunteers involved once again for their hard work and dedication.
THANK YOU!

GRAPHIC WARNING:
21 minutes of video with extensive new raw footage, including murders, from the 10/7 attack. Not easy to watch, but as there are people who continue to deny these atrocities and what happened that day, I think it’s important to share.
