As punishment for my factual journalism, I was subjected to political harassment by the Trump administration upon my return from Iran. This Israeli-influenced criminal cartel is clearly threatened by my reporting from Tehran, where I showed the massive crowds of mourners and ferocious public backlash to the assassination of [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei, exposed US and Israeli war crimes against civilians from the ground, and conducted candid interviews with officials, negotiators and influential Iranians. The seizure of my devices was a clear act of intimidation aimed at deterring me and others from doing further critical reporting from Iran, which is likely why my interrogators from CPB demanded to know if I would be returning to Tehran to report any time soon.

Statement by Defending Rights and Dissent @RightsDissent on my interrogation, the seizure of my devices, and political harassment by the Trump admin: “It is notable that while Max Blumenthal was not the only U.S. journalist in Iran to cover Khamenei’s funeral, he is reportedly the only one to face harassment on his way home. This indicates that Blumenthal was potentially singled out due to the content of his reporting, which has been highly critical of U.S. foreign policy, or due to an extended campaign against him led by pro-Israel McCarthyites. This is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest personal terms.” rightsanddissent.org/news/journalis…

The US has gotten Iran so wrong, especially by listening to Israel, perhaps the thinking was: “let’s try spying on someone who is actually factual”

Upon reentering the USA at Dulles International Airport, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) interrogated @MaxBlumenthal about his trip (to Iran), searched his belongings, and demanded that he provide access to his smart phones. When he refused to open his phones, CBP officers forced him to turn them over for detention. Other journalists and travelers have been threatened with the loss of their passports for a month for failing to hand over their devices. thegrayzone.substack.com/p/under-israel…

"Israel cannot allow a stable, prosperous Jewish community to exist in the Islamic world because it defeats the whole logic of Zionism, which mandates the establishment of a fortified Jewish sanctuary in historic Palestine."

The Grayzone@TheGrayzoneNews

From the ruins of the Rafinia Synagogue in Tehran, Iran, which was bombed by Israel on April 7, @MaxBlumenthal recounts the long history of Israel attacking Jewish communities in the Islamic world, and explains why the twisted logic of Zionism encourages this dynamic

@MaxBlumenthal My main question at this point is, “why isn’t Max allowed a larger audience?” I’ve been following his work now for 19 years. Interviewed him online on new books he wrote as they came out. There need to be more credible awards and such for reporters of Max’s caliber.

With Fergie Chambers’ arrest, the United States is now seeking to extradite anti-imperialist activists from third countries — an immensely dangerous precedent for the movement and an important test of Spanish sovereignty. The extradition must be blocked.

I have just heard this news and been updated by friends. This is a disgrace. Fergie and Stella have been the main reason a lot of families in Gaza can afford the basics everyday. I have seen the help they give. Direct support to starving families and they are persecuting him for it. Full solidarity with Fergie and shame on those who slander him. Will YOU step up and support us now? We have lost a giant but we can get him back. SPEAK UP. We love you @jccfergie from Gaza.

VPol@VocalPolitics1

Pro-Palestine activist and funder Fergie Chambers was detained by Spanish police on Friday as the Trump administration attempts to extradite him to the US on federal charges with a potential sentence of 30 years in prison, including “international money laundering… with the intent to provide material support to and resources to foreign terrorist organizations," according to a sealed indictment reviewed by The Grayzone (@TheGrayzoneNews). ￭ "The sealed indictment offers no evidence that Chambers has donated any money to 'foreign terrorist organizations.' It merely states 'Chambers made numerous transfers of funds from banks in the US to banks in Tunisia,' where he relocated in late 2023," according to The Grayzone. ￭ Chambers was denied bail in an Ibiza court on Saturday and is expected to appeal for bail on Thursday. ￭ This is the first time an individual has faced extradition to the US from Spain for supporting the Palestinian liberation struggle, and marks a major escalation in US repression of anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist movements.
