Since the U.S. reinstated its blockade, no Iranian crude cargoes have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz to China. Inventory cannot be replenished as crude piles up aboard vessels trapped inside the strait. Iran’s export lifeline is being cut off: stranded oil, finite storage, and rapidly shrinking revenue.
🇮🇱🤝☀️ International Jewish–Kurdish Conference | London 2026
Dear friends,
I am pleased and honored to take part in the upcoming International Jewish–Kurdish Conference, taking place in London on 6–7 September 2026.
On Sunday, 6 September, I will participate in a panel discussing the historic and deep relationship between the Jewish and Kurdish peoples, Israel–Kurdish relations, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
We are meeting at a particularly complex and sensitive geopolitical moment in the Middle East. At a time of instability, shifting alliances and growing regional challenges, strengthening the bonds between the Jewish and Kurdish peoples — two peoples with a deep commitment to identity, freedom and self-determination — carries particular importance.
To my friends and colleagues in London who would like to attend the conference: for security reasons, registration details are not being shared publicly.
If you would like to join us, please send me a private message and I will be happy to share the registration details with you.
Looking forward to an important and meaningful gathering.
Together. Stronger. 🇮🇱🤝☀️

This is October 7.
Thousands of Palestinians are chanting "Allahu Akbar". They are raining blows and stones upon the bodies of Israeli citizens spitting on them and celebrating the killing of Jews.
How false are those who say that we can ever live together?
Am 6.–7. September findet in London die internationale Konferenz „Jewish–Kurdish Relations in a Changing Middle East“ statt.
Ich freue mich, am zweiten Tag im Panel 6 zum Thema Identität mitzuwirken.
Für mehr jüdisch-kurdischen Dialog und Zusammenarbeit

'Turkey has been working through a network of NGOs that often promote fundamentalist talking points, including calls to 'liberate Jerusalem.'

🚨SHARIA LAW HAS BEEN DEFEATED IN FLORIDA!!
DeSantis signed the ban.
Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR. Antifa. Designated as terror organizations.
“We’re seeing the fusion of Islamism and socialism. If we’ve designated these groups as FTOs, they do not get benefits.”
One law. No parallel system. No taxpayer money.
This is why we Americans, veterans, government officials, agencies, don’t take you monarchists seriously. And neither do the Israelis. We have working relationships with Rojhelati (Iranian) Kurds that are proven on the ground.
Get past your delusions & support the people fighting
🇮🇱 ISRAEL TO BRITAIN: THE ERA OF NO RESPONSE IS OVER
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar issued a direct warning to London:
“If Britain acts against the State of Israel, the State of Israel will act against Britain.”
Sa’ar said Israel is already preparing for the possibility of British measures against it.
“The era in which it was possible to act against the State of Israel and Israel would not respond is over.”
And the final warning was unmistakable:
“If they make a mistake, there will be a response.”
On October 7, Hamas brutally murdered 33-year-old mother Adi Kaplon right in front of her helpless child.
Immediately afterwards, they took a photo with her child while Adi's lifeless body lay on the floor inside the house.
If anyone asks, this is the reason why Israel is at war.
🚨 RUSSIA THREATENS STRIKES INSIDE GERMANY
Dmitry Medvedev says Germany “deserves a direct strike” on military production facilities — and possibly “other locations in Berlin as well.”
That is not diplomatic language.
A senior Russian official is openly threatening attacks on German territory.
The line between the war in Ukraine and a direct Russia-NATO confrontation keeps getting thinner.
KURDS, AGAIN, ARE UNDER JIHADI CONTROL IN SYRIA.
Following the dissolution of the Kurdish-led SDF and its forced integration into the Syrian army, the territory where Kurds spent years defending themselves against jihadists is now watching armed forces of Syria’s Islamist-led government roll into their neighborhoods.
GOD HELP THEM
