At the very start of 2026, Iran & Venezuela have exposed the moral & intellectual bankruptcy of the allegedly progressive left. It’s now impossible to suggest they oppose dictatorship or repression. Nothing matters to them but naked hatred of Jews & America. Scum of the earth.

“Iranians have long relied on calloused palms to climb out of despair. Across generations, hands hardened under the Islamic regime have carried the dream of freedom. We are conditioned by survival. Our hope is a learned discipline. Our faith in endurance isn’t the denial of reality. It’s a time tested understanding of who we are.” Please watch. #IranIsraelUSWar

Two related news items about academics with links to Qatar 1️⃣ I was previously publicly attacked by Andreas Krieg, who accused me of being an extended arm of the United Arab Emirates in Sweden. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and the Swedish Psychological Defence Agency were also drawn into these unfounded allegations on the website Politics Today (published by SETA, which is affiliated with Erdoğan’s think tank). (Krieg has been linked to academic institutes in Qatar.) I reported this to King’s College London for defamation—and I was upheld in the internal process. The outcome was that Andreas Krieg published a public apology addressed to me on X. I later wrote about this in Swedish daily Expressen:  expressen.se/debatt/tro-och…  Andreas Krieg’s apology can be found here. x.com/MagnusRanstorp…  Now, the same Andreas Krieg has once again come under scrutiny. In legal proceedings in Northern Ireland, he lost a defamation case against a well-known journalist, further raising questions about his credibility and judgment. irishlegal.com/articles/paul-…  ⸻ 2️⃣ In the next step, activists turned to Farid Hafez, editor of the European Islamophobia Report and affiliated with the Georgetown University Bridge Initiative. The Bridge Initiative subsequently published a so-called “factsheet” targeting me, Lorenzo Vidino, the Danish professor Thomas Hoffmann, and researcher Sameh Egyptson. The purpose was obvious: to discredit us for our scrutiny of the Muslim Brotherhood. Article in Danish about ”Bridge Initiative and Factsheets” weekendavisen.dk/samfund/broder…  This activity has now been noted at the highest political level in the United States. A report from the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce on antisemitism at American universities specifically identifies the Bridge Initiative. The report states that the organization presents itself as researching Islamophobia, but in practice engages in casting suspicion on critics of political Islam. Particularly noteworthy is that the report—based on previously undisclosed documents from Georgetown—shows that the Bridge Initiative received $630,000 from Qatar in May 2024. The report can be read here. edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…  The overall picture is clear: when academia, activism, and state interests converge, research risks becoming a tool for political influence—rather than a source of independent knowledge.

Jews …

Yeah, but he’s properly stupid. And like a good catholic supremacist he’s been brought up to tell Jews what’s what. So what we say is irrelevant because he’s superior. And the lad doesn’t have the intellectual resource to think through that racism for himself.

”If we search the entire globe for a more cowardly, lowly, weak, and frail individual in his spirit, mind ideology, and religion, we will never find anyone like the Jew - and I am not saying the Israeli: we have to know the enemy we are fighting.” - Hassan Nasrallah

I'm an Israeli that dealt a lot with Hezbollah and the region, and this is the first time I even heard your name. No one in Israel knows who you are, so believe me when I say this - there is no way that anyone in Israel tried to deliberately take you out 😂😂😂

Imagine being on holiday and taking your tiny child to a soft play and this absolute freak hears you speaking Hebrew and decides to lecture you about having the audacity of being Israeli and being on holiday. Absolutely f*ck these racist c@nts. Honestly.

Not trolled. That’s for serious people. Corrected. From one Jew to a Jew who sometimes is and sometimes isn’t.

When you heard people talk about genoicde, and then you read this…

“It is unacceptable that during a multi-front war, the IDF is forced to deal with a threatening minority from within.” The IDF chief of staff sharply condemned settler violence in the West Bank, which has threatened both Israeli soldiers and Palestinians in recent days.

He also posted the day before, reporting on exactly what he now says he didn’t know - that Israel was bombing the bridge because it was a Hizbollah supply line. But, hey, checking facts is like soooo boring.

Paul Finlayson, a well-liked, non-Jewish professor at a small Canadian university, was suspended, silenced, and ultimately lost his career after expressing support for Israel in a online exchange with a Pakistani fan of Hamas soon after October 7. He writes that the university removed him without clear charges, barred him from communicating with students or colleagues, and allowed false rumors to spread that he had committed violent acts and was arrested —all entirely fabricated. Another faculty member who had publicly expressed support for Hamas seems to have been instrumental in this nightmare. The university and union all turned against him without giving him even the chance to defend himself. The result was not just discipline, but reputational destruction. A longtime lecturer was isolated, silenced, defamed, and slandered. Finlayson may not be Jewish but this is a horrific story of extreme antisemitism where even expressing a pro-Israel opinion can be career-ending. See his full account here:.

We must tell the truth: the Palestinian problem today is not only Hamas, but a deep crisis within the Palestinian political system itself. During Mahmoud Abbas’s era, the focus was placed on building institutions and laws — but trust between the authority and the people was not built. When trust disappears, a vacuum is created — and in that vacuum, extremist movements grow. Therefore, Palestinian political reform and elections are not only a Palestinian interest — they are also an Israeli security interest. If we want to defeat extremism, we must create a moderate and successful Palestinian model.

Lebanese Prime Minister, Najib Salam to President Trump: Help us put an end to the Lebanese conflict. We are ready to begin negotiations with Israel immediately.

An excerpt from my speech at Oxford about my pride, as an Arab, in serving in the IDF and fighting for my country.

In honor of Ariel Bibas, the "Kimit Jerusalem" butterfly has been renamed "Kimit Ariel", according to the Israeli naming society. "We thought that this was the most fitting of all the orange butterflies in Israel," they wrote to Yarden Bibas. This specific orange butterfly was chosen because it previously held the name "Orange Jerusalem," and Ariel is recognized as one of the 70 names for Jerusalem, according to Kveller 🎗️

Melika Azizi is 18 years old. The regime wants her dead because she isn't afraid of them. ​While the world slept, they raided her home. While they beat her in Lakan Prison, she held her head high. When the judge handed down a death sentence, she didn't beg for her life—she demanded justice for the fallen. ​"How can I stay silent?" she asked. ​We cannot be the ones who stay silent while they try to hang a teenager for her bravery. Silence is a death sentence. Noise is a lifeline. ​ACT NOW: Save this post. Share it. Tag three friends who will help spread her name. We have to make the cost of executing her higher than the cost of letting her go. ​#MelikaAzizi #SaveMelika #StopExecutionsInIran #HumanRights

Mazaltov! Brave of you.

Big win for the UAE. And a brutal exposure of Muslim Brotherhood apologists hiding behind “academia.” In Belfast, Dr. krieg was found guilty of pushing false claims against the UAE. Not surprising. He’s been one of the loudest voices laundering narratives for Brotherhood-linked Islamists in the West. Court didn’t buy it. His work is being pulled apart, his book facing destruction, and his credibility is done. This is what happens when propaganda meets facts. And let’s be honest. The same circles that scream “free speech” are the first to protect Islamist networks like Islamic Relief. Operating freely in the UK, while flagged by the UAE for channeling funds into extremist ecosystems across the region. They tried to make criticism costly. Instead, they exposed themselves. Good riddance @andreas_krieg 😂👋🏻

Oh sure, women taste freedom, remove their hijab… and then happily go back to being forced and paraded by a dictatorship. Totally normal! As a former national team soccer player, let me say this clearly: shut the fuck up. You don’t get to lecture us about “respect” while a regime is busy threatening our families and forcing us into propaganda. They pressured my family. They pressured my teammates. They forced us to wear the hijab every single time, then paraded us after international competitions like everything was normal. They took our photos in forced hijab and sold them to useful idiots like you as proof that the Islamic Republic is just another normal government. Really? Normal government don’t execute their own people. But they did today. I will not let you use our images, our careers, to whitewash a regime that, as we speak, executed another athlete.
