The Iranian people, including inside of Iran, have been the people who offered me the most condolences, I mean, they're active on social media speaking out against Hamas, in favor of Israel and Israel's right to self-defence, because they understand. They understand the reality of what Hamas actually is. Of what Islamic Jihad in Gaza actually is.
Tumblr media
So, the reality on the ground in Iran is that they're very, very pro-Israel, they look to Israel as an example and they want Israel to help them as well. So, any attack on Israel they take very personally.
Tumblr media
I've spent the better part of the last year traveling quite a bit to different locations for lectures and for meetings, but more importantly, to meet with members of different Iranian diaspora communities, connect them with the Jewish communities, since we have the same goals and the same interests, and also, honestly, a shared history that a lot of people aren't aware of. The Iranian people are definitely not enemies of Israelis.
Tumblr media
Iran was actually one of the first countries, one of the first Muslim countries actually, to recognize the state of Israel. So, the friendship of Iran and Israel is much longer than, you know, being enemies. That's something new that only came with the regime in 1979.
So, in the last year I have been meeting with different lawmakers about how to hold the Islamic Republic accountable, whether it be designation of IRGC or sanction enforcement. And then at the grassroots level, I've been an activist within Iran, in the Persian community, organizing protests of solidarity on the ground in Israel. And the point of this is to motivate the people of Iran and to show them, and to show the world, that we stand with them in their pursuit for freedom, and that regardless of Israel and the conflict with the Iranian government, the people of Israel stand united with the people of Iran.
Tumblr media
And I think what's interesting about what's happening right now with the operation in Gaza and the war that we're facing from Hamas terrorists - who of course, incidentally are supported, funded and trained by the Islamic Regime in Iran - so, it's been really, really moving to see how much the Iranian community, even inside of Iran is supporting Israel.
Tumblr media
In fact, before I even saw a Jewish community's posting about rallies that they were going to host in solidarity with what's happening in Israel against terrorism, I saw that the Iranians had organized flyers and promotional materials for holding a rally of support for the state of Israel. So, it's just been incredible to see that these people who have been told that they're our enemies are in fact not at all. They're our greatest defenders and they're our greatest allies and I have nothing but love for the people of Iran and I think I can speak for the majority, if not all, of Israeli citizens as well.
Tumblr media
I think that the only option in Iran is regime change. Unfortunately, we've had a lot of people who spoke up against Iran and some of them tried to work within the system in the last few decades. None of them have been successful because, frankly, the Iranian Regime is very intelligent. They do know what they're doing. They use unbelievably complex psychological warfare even on their own people, and that's part of the reason that they've been able to maintain control with such an iron grip for so long.
So yes, I think the reality is we're not going to see a change in Israel-Iran, as a state, relations until there is a regime change. But when there is a regime change, there will be peace the next day. Iranians and Israelis will be the best of friends, publicly and openly once again.
Tumblr media
==
So many of the people who supported the Iranian people against the Regime with #WomanLifeFreedom, suddenly developed amnesia in supporting the Hamas terrorist regime.

Forty-five years of the illegal regime of the Islamic Republic in a single video
This is the face of Iran, the one puppeteering numerous Islamic terror organizations, among which are Hamas and Hezbollah.
The same crowd cheering as Iran and its proxies launched over 300 drones, ICBM missiles and Cruise missiles on Israel is the one calling for a ceasefire and condemning Israel for its actions. The hypocrisy is not lost on the rest of us.
Iranians deserve so much better than pasty westerners supporting the persecution they've endured & survived for decades.

as an Iranian that her people are dying in the streets for the past 2 months and the west talks about Islamphobics, I am very happy with the rules that Qatar has put in place in the past few days and the work it has done with journalists that are coming for world cup. 36k of 40k people that were coming from Germany for WC has canceled their trip; Let the West understand what Islam is. Half of our misery is due to the fact that the West thinks: Islam is cute, it is a culture, let’s celebrate the diversity! uwu as long as I'm not reading the bad news,they are not happening uwu.
NO! first of all Islam is not a culture,it's a religion;Islam in islamic countries ARE NOT what netflix shows you!! It decide for what you eat,what you drink,what you wear,what you think,what you believe and what you should want! I hope you finally understand how much people in middle east are suffering.
if you can't put up with a few of these rules for 2 or 3 hours,imagine how people here live and die in these situation

Fact-Finding Mission on IR
Tumblr media
3 women appointed to the Fact-Finding Mission on the Islamic Republic. 
Very interesting panel. Two of the women are Muslim - one of them has openly advocated for secular legal system and women’s rights, whereas the other is a professor and has advocated for modernizing Islamic law. Both of these women work toward improving women’s rights. Having an academic on board is important, especially one that focuses on Islamic law because she can address the invalidity and brutality of the interpretation of Islamic law by the Islamic Republic. 
I have seen on social media people spreading false statements that 2 of these women are representatives of 2 countries that voted against expelling the Islamic Republic from the UN Women’s Rights Commission. These women are INDEPENDENT. They are not representatives of their governments. They are independent lawyers and an academic who happen to be from those countries. If you read their bios below, you will see that they have supported human rights and women’s rights. We cannot allow misinformation and disinformation to undermine the truth and this mission. The Islamic Republic would love it if these women were not sitting on this panel. 
Sara Hossain - She is an attorney who was pivotal in Bangladesh’s first comprehensive legislation on violence against women. She has challenged fatwa because she believes it disproportionately harms women, she in favor of secular legal system and is against forced veiling. She has questioned the lingering British colonial practice of subjecting rape victims to degrading physical examinations and discriminatory personal family laws. 
Dr. Shaheen Sardar Ali - She is a professor of law at University of Warwick. Her research interests lie at intersection of Islamic Law, Women and Children’s Rights and human rights. She has written about modern challenges to Islam. She argues that women’s human rights in Islam is not entirely irreconcilable with current formulations of international human rights. She assumes 2 things: 1) patriarchy has silenced the more egalitarian aspects of Islam by adopting a literalist approach as opposed to progressive; and 2) Islamic law does not consist of immutable, unchanging set of norms, but rather it is dynamic and susceptible to changing needs of time. I think her presence on the panel adds the perspective of intersection of Islamic law (adopted by the Islamic Republic) and human rights. She is also member of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which found 41 cases of detention in Iran to be arbitrary during her tenure 2008-2014. 
Viviana Krsticevic is a human rights lawyer. She has been a fierce advocate for human rights and for victims of human rights violations in Latin America. She has argued pioneering cases on gender-based violence, victims’ rights, indigenous rights, accountability, etc. She’s currently the Executive Director of the Center for Justice and International Law, a civil society organization that works throughout the Americas to promote human rights.

People pretending the Islamic Republic won't kill all the prisoners:
Even an idiot would realize that the regime is over. The protests have been going on for months. In the past, the regime has clung to power through violence and threats. But it's been obvious for some time that these won't work. Protesters see their loved ones shot or tortured...and it only makes them fight harder. What's more is that the protests are growing.
If there was ever a point where the Islamic Republic could maintain power through changes to laws, it's long past. They chose to let it pass and instead open-fired on protesters. They continued to go after children, probably to try to terrify people into submission...but it is very obviously not working. They will need to kill everyone in the country to maintain power because terroristic tactics have not stopped the protests and, at this point, they've killed and hurt far too many people to expect protesters to negotiate.
The fact that they continue to murder protesters despite this shows that they are either completely out of touch with their situation...or that they do not mind ruling over a graveyard.
The prisoners are absolutely in danger. Their captors have shown a complete disregard for life.

Published: Jan 31, 2023
PARIS: An Iranian court has handed jail sentences of over 10 years each to a young couple who danced in front of one of Tehran’s main landmarks in a video seen as a symbol of defiance against the regime, activists said on Tuesday.
Astiyazh Haghighi and her fiance Amir Mohammad Ahmadi, both in their early 20s, had been arrested in early November after a video went viral of them dancing romantically in front of the Azadi Tower in Tehran.
Haghighi did not wear a headscarf in defiance of the Islamic republic’s strict rules for women, while women are also not allowed to dance in public in Iran, let alone with a man.
A revolutionary court in Tehran sentenced them each to 10 years and six months in prison, as well as bans on using the Internet and leaving Iran, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said.
The couple, who already had a following in Tehran as popular Instagram bloggers, were convicted of “encouraging corruption and public prostitution” as well as “gathering with the intention of disrupting national security,” it added.
HRANA cited sources close to their families as saying they had been deprived of lawyers during the court proceedings while attempts to secure their release on bail have been rejected.
It said Haghighi is now in the notorious Qarchak prison for women outside Tehran, whose conditions are regularly condemned by activists.
Iranian authorities have clamped down severely on all forms of dissent since the death in September of Mahsa Amini, who had been arrested for allegedly violating the headscarf rules, sparked protests that have turned into a movement against the regime.
At least 14,000 people have been arrested, according to the United Nations, ranging from prominent celebrities, journalists and lawyers to ordinary people who took to the streets.
The couple’s video had been hailed as a symbol of the freedoms demanded by the protest movement, with Ahmadi at one moment lifting his partner in the air as her long hair flowed behind.
One of the main icons of the Iranian capital, the gigantic and futuristic Azadi (Freedom) Tower is a place of huge sensitivity.
It opened under the rule of the last shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in the early 1970s when it was known as the Shahyad (In Memory of the Shah) Tower.
It was renamed after the shah was ousted in 1979 with the creation of the Islamic republic. Its architect, a member of the Bahai faith which is not recognized in today’s Iran, now lives in exile.

——————————– 
Συνήθεις αναγνώστες μου θα παραξενευθούν επειδή χρησιμοποιώ τον όρο ‘Περσία’ αντί ‘Ιράν’ στο συγκεκριμένο άρθρο, καθώς και σε πολλά άλλα άρθρα, εγκυκλοπαιδικά λήμματα, επιστημονικ΄ά άρθρα, και βιβλία δημοσιευμένα στην δεκαετία του 1980 και στις αρχές του 1990. Αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι ο όρος αυτός είναι περισσότερο γνωστός και αγαπητός στο ελληνόφωνο αναγνωστικό κοινό, ενώ ο όρος ‘Ιράν’ ακούγεται μάλλον ξενικός. Τότε έγραφα για να πληροφορήσω και να κατατοπίσω σχετικά με θέματα ιστορι��ού, πνευματικού, θρησκευτικού και πολιτιστικού ενδιαφέροντος σχετιζόμενα με το Ιράν, καθώς και για υποθέσεις επιμελώς αποκρυμμένες σε όλο τον δυτικό κόσμο, όπως επίσης και για δημιουργήσω συμπάθεια προς το Ιράν εναντίον του οποίου στρέφονταν η Δυτική Ευρώπη, το σοβιετικό μπλοκ, οι ΗΠΑ, άλλες δυτικές χώρες, και τα τρισάθλια σκουπίδια των εθελόδουλων κυβερνητών του ανύπαρκτου και ανυπόστατου “αραβικού” κόσμου. Βεβαίως και τότε γνώριζα πολύ καλά ότι ο εξεπίτηδες προτιμώμενος από την μεροληπτική, αποικιοκρατική, δυτική βιβλιογραφία όρος ‘Περσία’ είναι ολότελα λαθεμένος, επειδή το Φαρς (Περσία) αποτελεί μόνον ένα μικρό τμήμα του ιστορικού Ιράν.
Several of my readers may be astounded because I use the term ‘Persia’ instead of ‘Iran’ in this article, as well as in many other articles, entries to encyclopedias, scholarly articles and books published in the 1980s and the early 1990s. This is due to the fact that this term is better known and preferred by the Greek-speaking readership, while the term ‘Iran’ sounds rather foreign to them. At the time, I was writing in order to inform and enlighten about historical, spiritual, religious and cultural topics pertaining to Iran, as well as about matters carefully hidden throughout the Western world, and in order to generate sympathy for Iran against which Western Europe, the Soviet bloc, the USA, other Western countries, and the wretched, docile and useless rulers of the non-existent “Arab” world had formed an alliance. Of course, even then, I was fully aware of the fact that the term ‘Persia’, which is intentionally supported by the biased colonial Western scholarship, is wrong; this is so because Fars (Persia) is only a small part of historical Iran.
Некоторые из моих читателей могут быть удивлены тем, что в этой статье, как и во многих других статьях, записях в энциклопедиях, научных статьях и книгах, изданных в 1980-х и начале 1990-х годов, я использую термин «Персия» вместо «Иран». Это связано с тем, что этот термин более известен и предпочитается грекоязычной читательской аудиторией, а термин «Иран» звучит для них довольно чуждо. В то время я писал, чтобы информировать и просвещать по историческим, духовным, религиозным и культурным темам, касающимся Ирана, а также по вопросам, тщательно скрываемым во всем западном мире, и чтобы вызвать симпатию к Ирану, против которой Западная Европа Советский блок, США, другие западные страны и жалкие, послушные и бесполезные правители несуществующего «арабского» мира образовали союз. Конечно, уже тогда я полностью осознавал тот факт, что термин «Персия», намеренно поддерживаемый предвзятой колониальной западной наукой, неверен; это так, потому что Фарс (Персия) — лишь малая часть исторического Ирана.

update on what's happening in Iran:
Based on the news you have heard that they 'abolished' the mortality police.
but today when I woke up and checked the new, 2 of the famous actresses who took their hijab off yesterday, Elnaz Shakerdoost and Shaghaiegh Dehghan have been summoned by the police.
an amusement park was closed permanently (for now) cause one of the female workers wasn't wearing hijab.
they are lying. they just abolished the mortality police to calm the protests, they don't care about women now as they didn't care all these damn 43 years.
DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT IRAN. OUR ONLY PROBLEM IS NOT THE FORCED HIJAB; THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC NEEDS TO GO.

It is almost Purim
It is almost Purim, a time to be happy and eat hamantashen. It is a holiday where we celebrate our friendship with the Persian and Iranian people.
But before were all use this opportunity to be happy, I'd like to raise awareness for the Iranian people and their occupation by the IR. Iran and the Iranian people have always been great allies of the Jewish people and Israel, so I think it would be best to try return the favour.
Iran is currently under a brutal dictatorial and theocratic regime who oppresses its people and gives them no rights. It is the main hub and sponsor of terrorism in the middle east.
Don't forget Iran, and don't forget the Iranian people and all they've done for us.
