Almost exactly a year ago... "For the first time in many of our lives, actually Britain looks like a little haven of peace and stability" This was possibly one of the most ludicrous, out of touch, and ill-judged predictions in British TV history.

🚨BREAKING Iranians in the City of Hamedan are rising up and taking to the streets after IRGC Bassij paramilitary forces murdered a few innocent Iranians. Among other things, they are chanting: "They lied when they said America, our enemy is right here!" (aka Islamic Regime)

🕯️ This is Aida Rostami. Not a protester. Not a politician. A doctor. A 36-year-old woman who spent her nights treating wounded protesters in their homes during the 2022 uprising in Iran. She didn’t carry a gun. She carried gauze and bandages. She didn’t chant “death to anyone”

I keep seeing this response thrown around as a “solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—telling Israelis to just “go back to Europe.” What’s not just ridiculous but downright infuriating is how it erases the fact that over majority of Israeli Jews aren’t from Europe at

Naomi Azulay, 52, from Sderot, was murdered by Hamas terrorists while out running with friends on the morning of October 7th. She's survived by 4 kids and 9 siblings. Keep running in heaven, Naomi. 1971-2003 🕯️🕯️

This is reminiscent of Euripides' Hecuba (424 BC), a revenge tragedy in which the women turn on the tyrant Polymestor and blind him with their pins and brooches.

This is horrible. I remember once speaking to someone I thought was a trusted colleague about a confidential issue, and getting a message from someone else to whom the colleague had betrayed the confidence. You learn who you can't trust, but it's an unpleasant lesson.

Breaking: Hamas announced it has executed 12 people in central Gaza, labeling them “collaborators,” “aid thieves,” and members of a so-called criminal gang. Among them, three were killed just yesterday. Most of them were probably just desperate, hungry, or dissenters. Just like

The first film I ever saw, aged 7, was the 1965 Genghis Khan with Omar Sharif in the title role. The one scene that sticks is precisely the one in which the hero takes a stick and breaks it, then shows he cannot do the same with a bunch of sticks. "Divided we fall", he intones,
