- An unpleasant encounter in London: the owner of a Persian market started blaming Jews for the crimes of the Islamic Regime. “It’s all for the money. They control everything.” I put my purchase down, asked to cancel the purchase and told him that I am an Iranian Jew and all my
- Times Square is lit with the slogan of #IranRevoIution2022 tonight. On the 40th day of her murder, the world is bearing witness to history in making. #MahsaAmini #JinaAmini
- Replying to @persianjewessInterestingly after I asked to cancel my purchase he hid the money and refused to give it back. So much for the Jews love of money!
- News of @AlinejadMasih collapsing on stage at the end of her panel @Davos is not surprising. Receiving raw images of women losing an eye, young protestors losing limbs and unjustly detained losing their lives, 24/7/365, affects the strongest of us. handelszeitung.ch/politik/wef-ti…
- The impassioned and eloquent pleas of @AlinejadMasih @NazaninBoniadi have heated up the snowy Davos at #wef23 They are both also 2 of the top 30 influencers according to @JimHarris and the World Economic Forum. “If you don’t dare, your dreams will die.” #IRGCterrorists
- @AlinejadMasih and @NazaninBoniadi at Washington Post’s Global Women’s Summit 2022. The genie of Iranian women cannot be put back in the #IR bottle. “A revolution is under way” say both. Kudos to both for their bravery.
- #Baraye by an unknown Iranian musician #ShervinHajipour wins the best song in Social Change category. If #IranRevolution2023 anthem wins so can its people. We hope western policy makers will have as much vision, compassion and courage as the #Grammys in helping their cause.
00:00 - Replying to @ksadjadpourContrast Islamic Regime’s shameful behavior with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez shaking hands with female Iranian chess player Sara Khadem who defected to Spain bc of threats to her life. Thanks @JasonMBrodsky for flagging this. Future belongs to Woman, Life, Freedom
- Iran’s Statue of Liberty. Chocking back tears @AlinejadMasih pleads with the audience in DC to put aside their differences and fight against tyranny “it’s not important if you are monarchist, republican or religious, raise your hands if you are a victim of the #IR and unite.”
- Today nytimes essay by @ksadjadpour is about the inevitable end of #IR but it’s also about what makes Iranian culture so alluring: “Iranians persuaded invaders to appreciate a Persian high culture of poetry, food, painting, wine, music, festivals and etiquette.” @AbbasAmanat
- The breathless news coverage on Harry and Meghan has made #IranianProtesters look like extras in a B movie. But while the semi-Royal couple has ‘spared’ us no details, Iranians’ abductions, torture and hangings by the #IR go largely unreported. This has huge ramifications:
- The Prez of European Parliament “ I urge the Iranian authorities to stop here and now”. For 43 years the Islamic Regime hanged Iranian dissidents from cranes in public squares. Now it’s hanging itself with all ropes available to it. It can no longer act with impunity.We will not look away from those who look to us from the streets of Iran. Iran must stop its oppression of legitimate protests. In response to Iran sanctioning MEPs, @Europarl_EN will no longer engage with Iranian authorities. زن زندگی آزادی
