3. “Power must go back to real Iranians” This is classic exile/opposition rhetoric. But ask the material question: •Which class forces are being invoked? •Who defines “real Iranians”? In practice, this kind of language often maps onto: •Diaspora elites •Monarchists •Western-aligned opposition groups Not some neutral “people’s will.” ⸻ 4. The media alignment matters She’s citing: •OANN (hard-right U.S. media) •U.S.-based platforming •English-language messaging That should immediately tell you: 🖕This isn’t just internal Iranian discourse 🖕It’s being shaped for a Western political audience

That flag you’re waving is NOT Iran’s flag. The REAL Iranian national flag has a lion and a sun ☀️🦁 — zero Ayatollah symbols. What you’re holding is the symbol of OCCUPATION. The Ayatollahs are the enemy of BOTH Iran AND America. Taking them down is not enough — power MUST go back to the real Iranians. Until then? WE ARE NOT DONE. 🔥 Share this. People need to know. 👇 Snippet from my interview with @OANN ‘s incredible anchor @DanNewsManBall and @ACTBrigitte . Watch in full on YouTube: youtu.be/jBHw7bMN2AQ

1. The “real flag” claim is ahistorical •The lion and sun flag is not some timeless Iranian symbol •It’s specifically tied to: •The Pahlavi monarchy (Shah era) •Earlier dynastic periods, yes—but always tied to state power structures, not “the people” The current flag: •Was adopted after the 1979 revolution •Represents a different political order, not “foreign occupation” Calling one “real” and the other “fake” is pure political framing, not history. ⸻ 2. “Occupation” is doing ideological work That word is doing heavy lifting. •Iran is not occupied by a foreign military •The state emerged from an internal revolution (whatever you think of it) So why use that language? It reframes: •A domestic political system → as illegitimate / foreign •Which then opens the door to: •regime change narratives •external “liberation” logic That’s not accidental.

@Partisangirl They have them here in NYC. It’s preposterous.

Why do Jews need their own seperate ambulance service, in australia, UK and US? Honest question, does someone have an answer?

From the Lebanon border, in a bulletproof vest, in a war zone myself, I share why RT propagandist Steve Sweeney is a my scumbag of the week. He ignored evacuation warnings, walked into an active strike zone, got lightly injured, and then claimed Israel “targeted him personally.” He even posted the warnings himself days earlier…then lied they didn’t exist for attention. 🤮 #TheQuad on @JNS_org with @FleurHassanN @skjask

The war against the Iranian regime is a GOOD thing for America. And it is going WELL. Anyone saying anything otherwise is lying for political motivation. That is all.

@gh19215009 @HichkasOfficial But you’re British. You’re a British citizen.

@HichkasOfficial #KingRezaPahlavi‌ForIran

I'm Iranian. The war against the Islamic Republic terrorist regime Must Not Stop. The continuation of the Islamic Republic in any shape or form means 100s of thousands, if not millions, of Iranians, Israelis, and Americans DEAD. #JavidShah #PahlaviWillReturn

@BabadiShah @HichkasOfficial “We, the people of Iran.”

@HichkasOfficial We, the people of Iran, both at home and abroad, demand the complete fall of the Islamic Republic and reject any form of it as illegitimate. This is our voice

@HichkasOfficial @IRANalwaysIRAN “I’m Iranian…”

@IRANalwaysIRAN @emilykschrader @Quillette “We the people of Iran…” Meanwhile…

There is a difference between reformists and hardliners: reformists are even more hateful and more criminal. They are the ones who, for years, paved the way for hardliners and helped keep this system in place. We, the people of Iran, hate both groups—but we hate reformists far more! #KingRezaPahlaviForIran #DigitalBlackOutIran

There is no difference between reformist and hardliner in Iran. The sooner the international community realizes this, the better off the world will be. How many times are we going to do the same things expecting different results? From my interview in @Quillette with @PamelaParesky

@emilykschrader @Quillette

@SamaramGill Look at the white settler “victim” lmao.

JUST IN: Massive CLASH as Al Jazeera news outlet has the temerity to show up to the mourning of last night’s arson attack against the Jewish community.

@GigaBeers @NYCMayor It’s fairly common for people to celebrate decolonization.

@NYCMayor But it’s okay for your wife to use slurs and celebrate the October massacre. Got it.🖕

I’m outraged by this hateful, anti-Muslim attack in our city. No one should be targeted with slurs, threats, or violence—ever. Muslim New Yorkers deserve to move through this city in safety and dignity. Islamophobia has no place here, and we will not tolerate it.

We won't leave until Trump is assassinated." This is the same regime in Iran, shot protesters in the streets, shut off the internet…now suddenly has fast WiFi, cinematic cameras, and crowds on cue chanting: "We want war." These are the warmongers who kill unarmed people, send assassins abroad to kill their opponents, and use lobbyists with perfect English to normalize themselves in the West.

@JessicaFor56th @AlinejadMasih @RedThistle6 He killed two cops and dismembered their bodies. There is footage of it.

@AlinejadMasih @RedThistle6 It is evil. It reminds me of the Nazis, killing Jewish prisoners even though they knew they were losing the war. They had to murder until they were stopped. They must be stopped.

They buried a 19-year-old wrestler here, an athlete hanged by Iran's regime for protesting. Saleh Mohammadi was one of Iran's valuable assets, part of the human infrastructure of its future but Islamic Republic destroyed that future. It is painful and powerful to see people gathering to stand with his family, clapping for their hero.

@APNUCLA @AlinejadMasih He killed and dismembered two cops.

@AlinejadMasih That they did this to a 19 yr old rising star in wrestling....made me cry.

@AlinejadMasih He murdered two cops and dismembered their bodies. There is footage of this. What do you have to say about that? You can’t pretend it didn’t happen. Well will continue reminding you in these threads. People read the threads.

This should have been on the front page of The New York Times. I’ve spoken with students in America. Most have no idea that more than 32,000 unarmed, people have been killed for demanding freedom in Iran. Hundreds more are on death row, waiting to be hanged. 💔 Thank you, New York Post.

@MAmirizadeh This doesn’t look like an actual book. It looks like hot garbage. No thanks. (Gestures towards hundreds of worthwhile books on my shelves) think I’ll stick with these.

Read my book “A Love Journey with God.” Educate yourself about the true nature of Islamic regime, and its ideological teachings. Do not let media, Hollywood, and schools brainwash your children with wrong teachings. You can get both my books through marzisjourney.com

**WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT** Israeli citizens urinate on the dead bodies of Palestinians who've been tortured, murdered and set on fire by the Israeli military. This is the level of depravity that is mainstream in Israeli society.

Overall Grade: F (ideologically sophisticated, materially hollow) ⸻ 1. Methodology (DHM rigor) Grade: F This piece is fundamentally idealist. •It explains history through: •“traditions” •“moral systems” •“meaning” •It completely ignores: •material conditions •class relations •economic structures •geopolitical forces From a DHM standpoint: It replaces material causation with cultural and moral abstraction. Lenin would identify this as: bourgeois idealism masquerading as historical explanation. ⸻ 2. Historical Analysis Grade: F The claim that: “Judaism survived because of its traditions” is historically shallow. What’s missing: •The role of Jewish communities in: •trade networks •financial roles under feudalism •varying degrees of imperial tolerance or repression •The material basis of institutional continuity Instead, survival is attributed to: •internal moral strength That is: metaphysical explanation replacing concrete historical development. ⸻ 3. Class Analysis Grade: F There is no class analysis whatsoever. Absent entirely: •class differentiation within Jewish communities •the role of bourgeois strata •the relationship between Jewish populations and broader capitalist development Religion is treated as: •universal •class-neutral •socially unmediated Lenin would classify this as: petty-bourgeois ideological flattening. ⸻ 4. Function of Religion Grade: F From a Marxist-Leninist perspective: •Religion is a product of material conditions and serves ideological functions within class society. This piece instead argues: •Religion is the foundation of morality •Religion is necessary for discipline and meaning This reverses the relationship between: •material reality and ideology It presents religion as: timeless, necessary, and above history. Lenin would describe this as: clerical apologetics and ideological inversion. ⸻ 5. Zionism Analysis Grade: F The argument that: Zionism is unintelligible without Judaism is ideologically framed rather than materially grounded. Missing entirely: •Zionism as a late 19th-century settler-colonial project backed by colonial powers (later) •its emergence within European capitalism and imperialism •its dependence on: •British colonial policy •settlement and land acquisition •displacement of an existing population Instead, Zionism is presented as: •natural •continuous •historically inevitable This is: the projection of a modern political project into antiquity to legitimize it. A classic ideological maneuver. ⸻ 6. “DNA” Argument Grade: F The appeal to DNA as proof of identity is: •biologically reductionist •historically incorrect •ideologically dangerous From a DHM perspective: •nations are historical and social formations, not biological entities. This line moves toward: ethno-essentialism disguised as historical continuity. Lenin would reject it outright as: reactionary pseudo-science.

A secular Jew asked me why I was converting to Judaism. Why would a rational, educated woman choose to join an ancient people and embrace traditions that seem to belong to another age? Did I truly believe those traditions were still relevant? My answer is simple: Judaism survived because of its traditions, not despite them. What modernity often dismisses as outdated ritual is precisely what preserved Judaism when empires collapsed, borders shifted, and entire civilizations vanished. Judaism did not endure by accident. It endured because it anchored human life to meaning, discipline, and moral responsibility. Where others dissolved into myth or memory, Judaism remained a living system. Long before these ideas became fashionable, Judaism introduced principles we now take for granted. It insisted that no human being stands above moral accountability. That power does not grant impunity. That compassion must extend beyond convenience, to the vulnerable, the weak, even to animals. That rest is not a luxury reserved for the privileged but a commandment binding all. And that time itself must be structured, sanctified, and directed. Judaism brought order into human existence. It introduced a calendar, a rhythm, a weekly reset, a moral framework, and a sense of mission. It taught that freedom without discipline becomes chaos, and that meaning does not emerge spontaneously. Meaning must be cultivated, practiced, and renewed. Is this irrelevant in the 21st century? People still lie to escape responsibility. They still seek shortcuts in moments of pressure. They are still cruel to others and to themselves. And they still need to be reminded that life is not arbitrary, that human beings are accountable to something higher than appetite, ego, or ideology. Judaism insists that above us is a source, a Creator, from which both our unity and our diversity emerge. Humanity may number billions today, but the Torah begins with one. With origins. With Bereshit. Because to understand where we are going, we must understand where we come from. The Torah does not offer abstract philosophy detached from lived reality. It tells stories, human, flawed, and timeless stories, that illuminate the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. It speaks of jealousy, power, failure, responsibility, repentance, and moral struggle. That is precisely why those stories endure. They are not frozen in time. They speak to every generation anew. Judaism, then, is not a relic. It is a system of moral memory. It is a civilizational framework that trains human beings to pause, reflect, restrain themselves, and choose responsibility over impulse. In an age obsessed with speed, gratification, and self-expression, Judaism insists on restraint, reflection, and continuity. That is why the question of relevance misses the point. If Judaism were merely symbolic, merely cultural, merely metaphorical, it would not have survived. And if it were irrelevant, Zionism itself would be unintelligible. What is Zionism without Judaism, without the original story, the language, the laws, the calendar, and the covenant that bind a people to a specific land and history? Why should Israel exist precisely where it does if Judaism is nothing more than an abstract faith detached from place, memory, and obligation? Strip Judaism of its traditions, and what remains is not enlightenment, but erosion. Without obligation, there is no continuity. Without practice, there is no identity. Without memory, there is no people. For me, Judaism is not an abstraction. It is not a costume, nor nostalgia, nor a political statement. It is identity carried through time, through exile, through Babylon and beyond. It is woven into history, culture, memory, and continuity. Anyone who takes a DNA test in the Middle East understands this instinctively. The connection is not theoretical. It is embodied. That is why tradition in Judaism is not only relevant today. It is indispensable. #israel #judaism #zionism
