Replying to @omid9 @BBCPanorama
Whilst this documentary fell short of telling the full story, it finally gave the wider world a glimpse of the horrors of Iran’s 8th and 9th January 2026 massacre.
No one hour documentary could ever convey the scale of the atrocities, the lives stolen, the families shattered or the brutality that continues today all at the hands of the Islamic Republic Regime.
What was shown barely scratches the surface of what the Iranian people have endured. But it is a small, significant step towards exposing the full extent of these crimes.
The Iranian people deserve more than fleeting outrage. Their suffering must not be forgotten, and those responsible must not be allowed to escape justice.

"Paris, March 3, 1919
Dear Mr. Frankfurter,
I want to take this opportunity of my first contact with American Zionists to tell you what I have often been able to say to Dr. Weizmann in Arabia and Europe.
We feel that the Arabs and Jews are cousins in race, having suffered similar oppressions at the hands of powers stronger than themselves, and by a happy coincidence have been able to take the first step towards the attainment of their national ideals together...
We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement. Our deputation here in Paris is fully acquainted with the proposals submitted yesterday by the Zionist Organization to the Peace Conference, and we regard them as moderate and proper. We will do our best, in so far as we are concerned, to help them through: we will wish the Jews a most hearty welcome home...
People less informed and less responsible than our leaders and yours, ignoring the need for cooperation of the Arabs and Zionists, have been trying to exploit the local difficulties that must necessarily arise in Palestine in the early stages of our movements. Some of them have, I am afraid, misrepresented your aims to the Arab peasantry, and our aims to the Jewish peasantry, with the result that interested parties have been able to make capital out of what they call our differences.
I wish to give you my firm conviction that these differences are not on questions of principle, but on matters of detail such as must inevitably occur in every contact of neighboring peoples, and as are easily adjusted by mutual goodwill. Indeed nearly all of them will disappear with fuller knowledge."

So men can be in women’s locker rooms but at his mosque women should be in a bag with a slit for their eyes while in the back of the room.
Got it.
.@AbdulElSayed says it’s ok for MEN to be in girl’s locker rooms.
Why?
“Well because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway”
Completely unacceptable.

"Islam saved Jewry. This is an unpopular, discomforting claim in the modern world. But it is a historical truth. The argument for it is double. First, in 570 CE, when the Prophet Mohammad was born, the Jews and Judaism were on the way to oblivion. And second, the coming of Islam saved them, providing a new context in which they not only survived, but flourished, laying foundations for subsequent Jewish cultural prosperity - also in Christendom - through the medieval period into the modern world."
This is the opening paragraph of "So, What Did The Muslims Do For The Jews?", an essay by David J Wasserstein, the Eugene Greener Jr Professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University. It was published in The Jewish Chronicle on 24 May 2012.
History is not a science, and historians will often interpret the same data in different ways, particularly so when writing in different eras.
This reality notwithstanding, Professor Wasserstein's essay, and the many details he references, provides a useful and necessary corrective to the fact-free, ahistorical ideological ravings that have become all-too-common substitutes for serious historical research and analysis.
My thanks to @xtc_uk for drawing my attention to this important essay in his response to one of my less gifted trolls.

A lot of Jews are not making an effort to distinguish between friend and foe at a time that we cannot afford to be abusing our friends. Brianna has stood up for us many times. She doesn't deserve this kind of treatment.
I am extremely upset about the way the pro-Israel community treated me yesterday.
I understand this election is heated. I understand the Democrat’s reaction to anyone with concerns about El-Sayed has essentially been “Fuck you.”
But I’ve critiqued him daily and aggressively. I’ve said I would vote for no one in this race. Apparently, that is not enough. I have to openly endorse someone that wants to continue ending my civil rights.
What upset me the most is how, the second I don’t even disagree but abstain, the pro Israel community launched viral threads calling me a man hundreds of times. I was flat out told that I have a mental illness and can never be accepted as pro Israel, which is exactly what the Islamists think.
This was abusive and deeply unfair.
What has happened to legitimate transsexual women in the last two years under Donald Trump has been horrific. Forcibly detransitioning every single federal prisoner. Ending our protections at work from discrimination. Banning all research into figuring out how to help us. Legally reclassifying me to be a man federally.
When I ask people to name five of these civil rights I’ve lost you can’t. You frequently deny it’s happening at all or lazily point to some imaginary Sharia law taking over the United States. The Senate is not going to get to 51 votes and usher in Islamism.
It is not fair to ask me to support that continued elimination from public life. The stakes for me are very high, Republicans want to ban medication I will literally die without.
I’ve never told anyone to vote for El-Sayed. I understand why people would defect to Rogers. I am asking for the same respect back.
The thing that got me, the most is how people are so eager to see the worst in me. I don’t know what I could do to stand with the pro Israel side more than I’ve done.

The Jewish movement is national and not imperialist. Our movement is national and not imperialist, and there is room in Syria for us both. Indeed, I think that neither can be a real success without the other."

My Dear Brianna, Your support for Israel is heroic. You are widely loved and admired among us. I trust your moral sensibility; you get me to rethink some of my own positions. This is a time of such confusion and fear for all of us; stay the course. We need your voice.

Muslim American Voices on #Michigan’s U.S. Senate Race: The following statements are made by the named individuals solely in their personal capacities.
Anila Ali, Muslim American faith leader and civil rights advocate:
“As a Muslim American faith leader and civil rights advocate, I personally endorse Mike Rogers for the United States Senate from Michigan.
“I stand with Haley Stevens against hate and intimidation. I understand her frustration because I, too, experienced efforts to silence me within the Democratic Party.
“I ran for office twice in California as a Democrat. For advocating against violent extremism, I faced harassment and intimidation from people associated with the DSA and former Democratic Party officials. I ultimately chose my country over my party and left.
“Our democracy is precious, and America’s freedoms are extraordinary. Protecting them requires the courage to confront extremism, including the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideology, and to defend those who speak out. My personal mission is to empower moderate Muslim Americans to show that our faith is distinct from Islamism and that voices like Abdul El-Sayed’s do not speak for all of us.
@HaleyforMI
“I admire Haley Stevens for standing firm against hate. My solidarity with her is sincere, and my choice in this Senate race is clear: I endorse Mike Rogers. America must come before party.” @MikeRogersForMI
Wajid A. Syed: @wajidasyed
“I personally endorse Mike Rogers for the United States Senate from Michigan. I respect his experience in public service and his approach to domestic issues, national security, and foreign policy. His positions on Iran and his commitment to Israel’s security are particularly important to me.
“At a time of uncertainty at home and abroad, I believe Mike Rogers has the experience, perspective, and judgment to serve Michigan and the nation.”
Sheikh Musa Drammeh, Muslim American faith leader:
“As a Muslim American and faith leader, I believe America is strongest when we defend religious freedom, uphold our Constitution, and reject hatred and extremism in every form.
“I encourage Michigan voters to carefully examine Mike Rogers’ record of public service, his positions on national security, and his commitment to protecting the constitutional freedoms of all Americans, regardless of faith or background.”
Farhana Khorshed:
@FarhanaKhorshed
Speaking personally, Farhana Khorshed emphasized that candidates of every religious background should uphold the Constitution and American democratic values. She expressed concerns about extremist ideologies, national security, and citizens’ responsibility to safeguard democratic institutions.
Zeba Zubair:
@ZebunnesaZeba
“As Muslim Americans, we cherish the constitutional freedoms that allow us to practice our faith and raise our families in peace. We must protect those freedoms, confront extremism, and remain committed to the security and democratic principles of our nation.”
@AaliyaShah1 Muslim American journalist & leader:
“As a Muslim American, I believe our country’s strength lies in our Constitution, our religious freedoms, and our commitment to protecting every American, regardless of faith or background.
“We must stand united against antisemitism, Islamist extremism, and all forms of hatred that threaten our communities. Our faith teaches us the importance of peace, justice, and respect for others.
“As Michigan voters consider Mike Rogers and the other candidates for the U.S. Senate, I believe they deserve an open discussion about national security, religious liberty, and the future of our country. We must never allow extremism to divide the communities that make America strong.”
@AbedAlmaala Muslim American community member:
I personally endorsed Mike Rogers. Having lived in the United States for more than 36 years, he cited Rogers’ support for strengthening U.S.–Israel relations and emphasized the importance of friendship and partnership between Muslim and Jewish communities.

Bill Maher just asked Senator Fetterman point-blank if there’s any truth to the rumor that he’s switching parties to become a Republican.
When Fetterman delivered his response, he got an unexpected ovation from Maher’s audience.
MAHER: “So there is no truth, right, that your actually going to switch parties? Because I know Trump has offered you...I mean, you’ve said ‘I would be a shitty Republican.’”
FETTERMAN: “Yeah...and if I ever decide to change, and I won’t, have me on and I will announce that. But it is not going to...I am a committed Democrat, even though if I vote 93% of the time.”
MAHER: “With the Democrats?”
FETTERMAN: “Yeah, I thought we were supposed to be a big tent party? I’m not really sure how I have become an issue for any of the Democrats for just having some differing views in these other issues.”
[Applause]
Even Fetterman is now getting applause for refusing to let the radical left define what a Democrat is.
This is great! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Moderate Muslim Leaders Endorse Mike Rogers
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Members of the Moderate Muslim Coalition, representing faith leadership, advocacy, publishing, and community backgrounds, have announced their support for Mike Rogers, GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate from Michigan.
@MikeRogersForMI
Several participants expressed personal support for #MikeRogers citing his record of public service, national security experience, and positions on U.S.–Israel relations. The statements reflect the views of the individuals quoted and should not be interpreted as representing every coalition member or Muslim American.
Anila Ali, who leads the coalition stated: "As a Muslim American faith leader and civil rights advocate, I believe that America's freedoms are extraordinary, but protecting them requires the courage to confront extremism that includes the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. We must empower moderate Muslim Americans to speak for themselves and make clear that Islam is a faith, not an extremist political ideology. I believe America must come before the party as Rep. Haley Stevens said in supporting Mike Rogers."
Abraham Publishing and Research Center's @wajidasyed added: "Mike Rogers brings a substantial record of public service, including service in the U.S. Army, the FBI, the Michigan State Senate, and the House of Representatives. His decision to return to public life reflects his belief that Michigan is facing serious challenges that require experienced leadership. I respect his depth of experience and what I see as a clear-headed approach to domestic issues, national security, and foreign policy. His positions on Iran and his commitment to Israel’s security are particularly important to me. At a time of uncertainty at home and abroad, I believe his experience and judgment deserve serious consideration."
Sheikh Musa Drammeh, Muslim American faith leader, said: "As a Muslim American and faith leader, I believe America is strongest when we defend religious freedom, uphold our Constitution, and reject hatred and extremism in every form. Our faith teaches us to stand for justice, peace, and the dignity of every human being. These principles should guide our conversations about national security and public leadership. Voters deserve to examine Mike Rogers' record of public service, his positions on national security, and his approach to protecting the constitutional freedoms of all Americans."
@FarhanaKhorshed, a Bangladeshi American muslim leader, emphasized that candidates, regardless of religious background, should uphold the Constitution and American democratic values. She raised concerns about extremist ideologies, national security, and the responsibility of citizens to protect the country's democratic institutions.
Similarly @ZebunnesaZeba stated: "As Muslim Americans, we cherish the constitutional freedoms that allow us to practice our faith and raise our families in peace. We must protect those freedoms, confront extremism, and remain committed to the security and democratic principles of our nation."
@AaliyaShah1 Muslim American community member, stated: "Our country's strength lies in its Constitution, its religious freedoms, and its commitment to protecting every American, regardless of faith or background. We must stand united against antisemitism, Islamist extremism, and all forms of hatred that threaten our communities. Our faith teaches peace and respect for others. As Michigan voters consider the candidates for the U.S. Senate, religious liberty, national security, and the future of our country deserve serious and open discussion."
@AbedAlmaala Muslim American community member, also expressed personal support for Mike Rogers. Having lived in the United States for more than 36 years, Al Maala cited Rogers' position on strengthening U.S.–Israel relations and emphasized the importance of preserving the historic friendship and partnership between Muslim and Jewish communities.

This is the beautiful Sophia Salma Khalifa. She is an Arab, a Muslim, and an Israeli. And she will show you why the accusations of apartheid in Israel are simply lies.
Everything the haters have ever told you about Israel is a lie. There was no Nakba. There is no occupation. There is no apartheid. Jews, Christians and Muslims live in peace in the land today. They never did in 1948.
Because in 1948, the Muslim Arabs didn’t want Israel or Jews to even exist. That’s why the Arabs rejected every single proposal and waged a genocidal war of annihilation against the Jews.
If you haven’t seen this, you should.
