.@amnesty had previously raised alarm that Saleh Mohammadi was among 8 people at risk of execution. He was sentenced to death in Feb 2026 less than 3 wks after his arrest, despite retracting “confessions” he said were extracted under torture amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Today, the Islamic Republic hanged multiple Iranian civilians, some of whom were just teenagers. Amnesty International? Silent. The UN? Silent. Human Rights Council? Silent. The Red Cross? Silent.



“They say that Spain is alone. They said the same when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone. We are the first. Those defending the indefensible will be the ones left alone.” (Sánchez, March 9)

“Decolonizing Shakespeare” is an impressive achievement. A man who died in 1616, never left England, and wrote about imaginary kings… is now part of a global colonial system. Truly a mastermind. The problem isn’t Shakespeare. It’s the need to force every piece of culture into “oppressor vs oppressed,” even when it makes no sense. And once you adopt that framework, it doesn’t stop at playwrights. It keeps expanding until entire groups of people get reassigned roles in the story. We’ve seen how that ends. If the goal is multiculturalism, here’s a thought: introduce people to more cultures instead of tearing one down. Appreciation builds understanding. Reductionism just builds enemies.

14 years ago today, Islamist terrorist Mohammed Merah broke into the Ozar Hatorah Jewish school in Toulouse, France, and murdered in cold blood three children and the school’s rabbi: Jonathan Sandler (30) Arié Sandler (6) Gabriel Sandler (3) Miriam Monsonego (8) We remember.


6 weeks without answers. Silence speak loud enough. There are no excuses left.
