“Megan Phelps-Roper grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS. She left, rejected its teachings, and became a vocal critic. The left celebrates her. She is courageous. Principled. Enlightened. Yasmine Mohammed grew up in a fundamentalist Sunni Muslim environment in Vancouver, BC. She was forced to veil as a child, married off, beaten, and later discovered her husband was affiliated with al Qaeda. She escaped, rejected Islam, and became a human rights activist. She is disinvited. Denounced. Labeled an Islamophobe by the left. These two women did the same thing. One is applauded. The other is ostracized.” ~ Islam, Cruelty, and the Collapse of Moral Courage open.substack.com/pub/maybenotno…

I am an Iranian university professor. I was in Iran until last week and directly witnessed the uprising of the Iranian people. What is happening is a revolution born of desperation and courage. I fully and unequivocally endorse the speeches of Masih Alinejad and Ahmad Batebi at the UNSC. Every claim made by the Iranian regime—including by its foreign minister and its UN ambassador—is nothing but deliberate, systematic lies meant to cover up crimes. The regime has already killed my friend Parsa Saffar, a brilliant medical student at Mashhad University. Was he a terrorist? His only “crime” was being young, educated, and Iranian. The regime has filled the country with thousands of body bags. Were they terrorists too? How unarmed protesters, many of which being very young students can be terrorists? Why the so called "terrorists" that the Iranian regime claims only kill protesters, and not the rally of regime supporters? Understanding Iran is painfully simple. Iran possesses some of the world’s largest oil, gas, and natural reserves, yet the Islamic Republic has driven the country into collapse: one of the weakest economies in the region, the least-valued currency in the world, crushing inflation, families unable to afford food or rent, massive unemployment, and millions of young people unable to marry or build a future because of economic despair. The people are angry—and rightly so. The Islamic Republic has turned Iran into a deadlock through aggression, corruption, killing its own citizens, silencing all free voices, and enforcing internet blackouts to hide its brutality. The Iranian people are demanding regime change—just as people did during the Arab Spring in Syria. The same cruel regime that sent forces to help Bashar al-Assad massacre Syrians is now using the same methods to massacre Iranians. I call on the United Nations, the UN Security Council, and every single government to end their silence in the face of the Islamic Republic’s murder machine. A regime that massacres its own citizens has no red lines—and will not hesitate to kill the citizens of other countries as well. Act now. Stand with the Iranian protesters. End this brutal regime. #IranMassacre #IranRevolution2026 #DigitalBlackoutIran

As an Iranian & liberal, I don’t know how to say this any clearer: Stop making the Iranian revolution about who YOU like or don’t like politically in the west. U either support freedom from a murderous oppressive regime or u don’t; & if u do just support Iranians. That’s it.

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

We’re not asking you to fight antisemitism by tallying how many Jewish friends you have, or wishing us Happy Chanukah. We’re asking you to fight antisemitism by learning what it is, and listening to the people experiencing it. Why is that so hard?

Conflating Judaism with Zionism is bad unless you slaughter Jews on a beach in Australia, light them on fire in Colorado, or execute them in DC and the UK because you're pro-Palestine.

Chanukah Sameach

A message from the daughter of Reuven Morrison who was murdered at the Bondi Beach Chanukah Massacre: “My father was murdered. In cold blood. Shot. For being Jewish. He did not cower. He did not lay low. He sprang to action. To fight. He was a man bigger than life itself. No boundary was uncrossable. Impossible was not a word in his mind. He put others before himself. It cost him his life. Ripped from his wife, daughter, son-in-law, and dear grandchildren. Leaving a gaping, heaving wound of sorrow. His love reached far and wide. His impact on the world was quiet, but absolutely immense. A philanthropist with a heart of gold, bigger than his chest. A man with humour and wit. A friend whose loyalty knew no bounds. It is a surreal nightmare from the deepest, darkest depths of hell. A reality far too horrendous for any human mind to process. Devoted to his faith. A loud and proud Jew. He fled the USSR to live as a Jew without fear. To an Australia that welcomed him with open arms. Where he rekindled his faith. Where he built a family, a successful business, and became a quiet philanthropist. A large man of immense kindness, who put the needs of others before his own. Who brought light into every life he touched. And then. Australia did not fail quietly. It failed loudly, repeatedly, and with full knowledge. Its government watched hatred grow and chose to do nothing. They minimised it. They excused it. They dismissed Jewish warnings as noise. A black, monstrous tornado cloud of antisemitic hate rolled in. It marched on bridges. It waved green, black, and red flags. It called for death to the Jews. This was not a shock. This was not sudden. This was not unpredictable. Antisemitism was out in the open. Threats were real. Fear was voiced again and again. And the government did nothing that mattered. Collectively, they abandoned us all, allowing antisemitism to fester. A government that refuses to protect Jews after being warned does not get to claim innocence. A government that lets hate fester holds responsibility for the blood that follows. It has his blood on its hands. The blood of all the victims. To those sheep who mindlessly reposted calls for intifada, you are guilty. To those who adorned themselves in keffiyehs and pro-Pal slogans, you are guilty. My father was murdered because leaders were weak. Because they were lazy. Because they cared more about optics than lives. Do not dare call this a lone act. Do not dare speak of bad luck or bad timing. This was the result of neglect and moral rot at the top. Australia betrayed him. Its government betrayed him. They cleared the way. My father is dead because those in power chose inaction. And that stain will not wash off. You are guilty.”

The mother of 10 year old Matilda who was murdered at Bondi beach just spoke. She can’t get the image of the terrorist aiming at her child and firing out of her head and heart. It wasn’t an accident. He fired at her. This is unbearable to watch.

My column from today’s @TheSun about #Eurovision

Conspiracy theorists: The Talmud teaches Jews how to run a global mind-control cabal! The actual Talmud: If your cow sticks its head through a fence and eats your neighbor’s turnips, do you owe full damages or half?

🇮🇱 Israel is preparing for a potential wave of mass Aliyah, because history has taught us what happens when Jews have nowhere to go. In 1938, at the Evian Conference, 32 countries were asked if they would take in Jews fleeing Nazi persecution. Not one said yes. When Jews were forced to flee overnight, the world shut its doors. Today, with antisemitism surging worldwide, Israel refuses to let history repeat itself. This week, the Aliyah & Integration Ministry and the National Emergency Authority ran a strategic exercise simulating the sudden arrival of thousands of Jews in need of refuge. Israel wants to be ready, not after tragedy strikes, but before. That is the purpose of Zionism: to ensure that if Jews are ever forced to leave again, they will never be stranded. This time, they have a home, and a people ready to welcome them 💙

I was today years old when I found out I can get my grandparents’ land back from the Iraqi and Tunisian governments after they stole it from us. And apparently when they stamped my grandmother’s Iraqi passport with “Never to return” after raping her best friend and murdering her Jewish neighbors, they meant “come back any time!” I mean, it’s not like Google cost anything. Search “Iraqi Jewish passports,” Susan.

Greta Thunberg once posted a photo of Israeli hostage Evyatar David in Hamas captivity, mistakenly thinking he was a Palestinian prisoner held by Israel. You’d think after that snafu, she would have learned the difference. Think again. Today, she published a video of activists stealing the exact logo and slogan of the HOSTAGES’ FAMILIES to call on Israel to release convicted prisoners. These protesters do not care about helping Palestinians. Only about delegitmizing the plight of the civilians and children abducted, tortured, and starved by Hamas. They have one goal. Denying the existence of Jewish trauma. Disgusting.

Many ask: What’s the harm in telling pregnant moms to skip Tylenol? It’s the ONLY med recommended by @acog for fever in pregnancy. Untreated fever ⬆️ risk of neurodevelopmental issues in babies. Scaring moms from the safest option can ➡️ the very harm we seek to avoid! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Tеrror supporters igniting fires and causing chaos at the Israeli Philharmonic in Paris. The orchestra responded by playing Hatikvah.💅

The world cannot look away from Sudan. Civilians are being massacred, women are facing horrific violence, and millions are displaced while the world stays silent. Sudanese people are fighting for their dignity, their freedom, and their lives. They need our voices, solidarity, and urgent global action now!

I really shouldn’t have to write a post like this – but here goes. A couple of weeks ago, I posted about the sexual violence carried out by Hamas on October 7. It led to roughly 4 million views and tens of thousands of likes. Seeing what would happen if I posted it again, I did just that a few days ago – which led to another 4 million views and 30 thousand likes. That’s great, right? Well, not exactly. The comments on both of these posts have been nauseating. I expected some offensive feedback – but the number of people who’ve said these crimes didn’t happen is beyond what I had imagined. “Israelis are liars,” “Mia Schem was raped by a Jew,” “You are a kike,” “No Israeli women have said they were raped on October 7,” “We know you are lying,” and “Only the IDF rapes” were just some of the comments. It went on, and on, and on. Palestinian terrorists have said on camera that they raped women on October 7, including Jamal Hassin Ahmad Radi and his son Abdallah Radi, a father-son duo, who confessed to raping women together during the attacks. A New York Times investigation also examined the sexual violence Palestinians carried out on October 7. “Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated.” The Times also said they “...viewed photographs of one woman’s corpse that emergency responders discovered in the rubble of a besieged kibbutz with dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin.” There’s also the Dinah Project (link below), which is a group of women who are experts in the fields of law, gender and civil society, who’ve come together to study the sexual crimes committed that day, and to seek justice for the victims. Their landmark report “Quest for Justice: October 7 and Beyond,” found that at half a dozen locations, there was “evidence of gang rapes followed by executions; genital mutilation; and public humiliation.” The report goes on to say that multiple women in captivity reported being sexually assaulted. Further, the United Nations also concluded that there is evidence of “conflict-related sexual violence” having taken place on October 7, and while hostages were in captivity. If this isn’t bad enough, many or most of the victims won’t be able to speak about what happened because they’re either dead or too traumatized to discuss these things. Yet despite this, Palestinian activists continue to demand “proof,” knowing full well that the proof they’re looking for will never be available. Frankly, it’s probably the most macabre and dehumanizing thing I’ve ever been exposed to – taunting dead rape victims and their families. We’re always told – and rightfully so – to believe all women. Evidently, though, many people – including the very women who’ve spoken out in defense of women’s rights, gender inequalities, and feminism, have abandoned that principle. It’s funny how that happens as soon as the victims are Jews. At the end of the day, while this exercise of sorts has been incredibly disturbing, it’s also given me more purpose and clarity – to always, always, always speak up in defence of those who cannot speak for themselves, and to keep shining a light on the barbaric crimes carried out on October 7. If you’ve made it this far, I’d ask you to do the same. May their memories be a blessing. thedinahproject.org/the-dinah-proj…

Did you know that so-called enlightened Spain, the same country freezing Israeli bank accounts “for justice,” still celebrates Easter with a drink called “Kill Jews”? In León, crowds raise glasses of red-wine lemonade to a tradition born from a 15th-century pogrom, when Jews were murdered and the killers toasted their victory. Today, many call it “heritage.” Five centuries after the Inquisition, Spain still turns antisemitism into folklore and calls it culture.

Hello everyone, I have survived one kidnapping and two assassination plots on U.S. soil, all because I dared to spearhead a campaign against compulsory hijab and give voice to millions of Iranians who refuse to live under dictatorship. I lost Brooklyn home, my garden, my peace, but not my voice. Transnational repression is dictatorship without borders. It must end. Next Wednesday, October 29, 11 AM, I will stand in Courtroom 24A, United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, face-to-face with the two Russian hitmen sent by Iran’s regime to silence me. They will be sentenced. And I will speak, not just for myself, but for every woman who refuses to be afraid. If you are in New York, stand with me. If not, send your love, your strength, your faith, because when we stand together, dictators fall. They fear our courage. They fear our unity. They fear the day we all say: enough. ✊🌻 Masih Alinejad
