BRING THEM HOME NOW!
In the middle of Times Square I found “Empty Tables/Empty Chairs” set for shabbat. 224 places representing those held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. Families of some of the hostages spoke. It was deeply moving, particularly the babies’ high chairs and the children’s table where chairs were knocked over and little toy bears were blind folded and torn apart.

Oct 7, 2023 Were the terrorists Radical Islamists?
Consider the POV of Lauren Booth, the sister-in-law of the man who destroyed Britain, Tony Blair, and a convert to Islam,
(She) called the terror attack on October 7th, where Israelis were killed and raped, “legendary”, and claimed it would make millions “accept Islam”. Sickening beyond belief. [https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra/status/2009729076949397611]

While the Global Muslim invasion continues, Jewish do-gooderism continues to ignore reality when groups like Jewish Voice For Peace and JFREJ support the ‘Falestinians’ by promoting a documentary such as NAZA. whose intended outcome is Gaza Muslims – Good / IDF-Israel – BAD
….the IDF said the film was a “misrepresented and manipulative depiction of reality“, rejecting how the film described the strike planning and denying the civilian casualty numbers it claimed, including ratios like 500 civilians to one militant, 200 to one, or 20 to one. It also stated that it never planned or approved any strike where around 500 civilians were expected to die. The Israeli military added that targets are approved only by humans, not by AI.
According to the IDF, even under the assumption that the soldiers that were interviewed in the film did serve in the roles attributed to them, it was still clear from their words in the film that they were not a part of any broad decision-making process…wikipedia
Israeli Government & IDF Response: The Israel Defense Forces and Israeli officials have strongly rejected the film’s claims as false and distorted,
Yet, the Jewish Kapos (Funktionshäftlinge) continue to promote Islam’s agitprop amongst our young …. teaching them to ignore the terrorists and their crimes while creating a generation blinded by the lies and promises of peace.
Hamas aired previously unseen footage of the terror group’s leaders in the Gaza Strip from several years before the October 7 war, via its Qatari mouthpiece Al Jazeera. One image broadcast onAl Jazeera’s “The Hidden Is More Immense”documentary series, and published shortly after by Hamas on its Telegram channel, shows top commanders in the terror group’s military wing gathering in a tunnel.All those seen in the photo have since been killed by Israel!
Including Deif, Marwan Issa, Raad Saad, Mohammed Shabana, Mohammed Sinwar, Ahmed Ghandour, Ayman Nofal, Rafa Salama, Izz al-Din al-Haddad, Mohammed Odeh, Hakam al-Issa, Raed Thabet, Ghazi Abu Tamaa and Bassem Issa.

Sept. 24, 2026. The Welcome for PM Netanyahu was overshadowed by the From The River to the Sea protestors:
”Netanyahu in a bunker, we will put you six feet under.”
Earlier, I began this report across from the U.N., where I found the ”Welcome Netanyahu” Rally difficult to find and oddly thin.
Flickr Slide Show Welcoming the Prime Minister
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to theHerut NYC organizers, when they arrived at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, it was already occupied by numerous groups, including organizations opposed to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Herut NYC had an approved NYC Parks facility permit for its “Welcome Netanyahu” rally in the Main Plaza for September 24 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Their permit lists their status in the Plaza as Approved.
So, the Herut organizer asked an NYPD officer where the area designated for Herut was located. The officer responded,
“Pick One.”
Apparently, the NYPD didn’t honor the paid permit for the Pro-Israel Rally to “Welcome Netanyahu” forcing them in to a corner that wasn’t easily seen.
Herut North America Seeks Answers
“This was not a question of whether we had a permit—we did,” said Karen Lichtbraun, Community Leader of Herut New York City. “Our organization followed the city’s permitting process, paid the required fee, received an approved permit, and arrived at the designated location expecting to be able to hold our permitted event. Instead, we were told to find whatever space was left. That raises legitimate questions about how permits were being administered and enforced that day.”
Meanwhile, hostile demonstrators compared Israeli Prime Minister to Satan and called Israel a ‘child killer regime,’ during their protests outside the U.N.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a defiant speech at the United Nations General Assembly on September 24, 2026, defending Israel’s military actions and prompting a mass walkout by diplomats. [1, 2]
Mr. Netanyahu noted that, for the past three years, Israel has been fighting on seven fronts – “Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran, militias in Iraq, militias in Syria, Palestinian terrorists in Judea and Samaria.”
Citing an “eighth front” in Israel’s war for survival, Mr. Netanyahu accused international media, social media and several governments of spreading anti-Israel and antisemitic narratives, singling out Qatar and Türkiye.
The Walkout: Dozens of delegates streamed out of the General Assembly Hall as Netanyahu took the podium. He called the departing diplomats “moral cowards”. [1, 2]
So, you gotta ASK
• How were multiple groups assigned space at DagHammarskjold Plaza on September 24?
• Were all organizations subject to the same permitting and space-allocation procedures?
• Who handled enforcing the approved permits on site?
Can Zionists no longer rally for Israel on the streets of NYC ?
Netanyahu continued, “Mr. Mamdani, you tried to stop me from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you can’t silence me. You can’t silence the truth.”
He also took a swipe at the Mayor of New York City, claiming that Jews no longer felt safe there,
And THAT’S the TRUTH

While the West Surrenders to Islam, Iran Is Fighting to Break Free From It- Geller Reports
”The Islamic Republic is not simply another authoritarian government. For decades, it has exported terrorism, destabilized the region, violated the human rights of its own citizens, and challenged international security … In January 2026… millions of Iranians answered the call of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi …The Islamic Republic of Iran responded with extraordinary violence… widespread killings, attacks on medical facilities, arrests and an ongoing campaign of executions against perceived opponents.” [Geller Reports]

.The Lion and Sun Flag served as Iran’s official state flag from 1907 until the 1979 Islamic Revolution. It represents a proud, culturally rich nation standing in defiance of the oppressive, radical theocracy that has held their country hostage for decades.
Banned inside Iran after 1979, the Lion and the Sun flag has been widely adopted by the global Iranian diaspora, opposition groups, and protesters as a powerful emblem of secularism, national identity and defiance against the current theocratic regime.
“Under the last Shah of Iran,Mohammad Reza Pahlavi,people had widecultural and personal freedoms … The Shah’s crucial decade from 1965 to 1975 when citizens enjoyed secular lifestyles,and women made big gains,
The same was true about Iranian Jews – some 100,000 of the them, who had lived in Iran for over 3,000 years. In the words of David Menasheri, it was the Jews’ “golden age,” wherein they enjoyed equality with Muslims and in terms of their per capita incomes “they might have been the richest Jewish community in the world. Some of the most innovative and successful industrialists, engineers, architects, and artists were either Jewish or Baha’i… ” [https://www.econlib.org/archives/2015/05/civil_and_econo.html]
Before the 1979 Islamic Revolution,Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi’s government maintained a close, covert alliance with Israel. Today, his exiled son, Reza Pahlavi, actively cultivates ties with the Israeli government.
The Spark for Revolutionwas the Shah’s heavy-handed political repression united diverse factions—from leftist students to religious traditionalists—into the massive popular movement that overthrew him in 1979.
.Today, Iran is an Islamic Republic characterized by strict religious governance, mandatory public hijab laws, and conservative social structures.
The revolution gave them a brutal and oppressive regime, far worse than the Shah’s regime. TODAY, “they are the only people on earth who have lived under a pure, unadulterated Islamic theocracy for decades-and because of that, they are the only people who truly see it for what it is.”
Iranians are now paying in blood to undo the damage of religious totalitarianism. The world must not remain silent while lives hang in the balance.
Islam is a garment forced upon them at sword-point, not a heritage chosen by their hearts.
”Iran is not the land of clerics and fanaticism. It is the land of Zarathustra, the legacy of Cyrus the Great – a civilization built on dignity, wisdom, and leadership long before desert chaos swept in from Arabia.”
”They have lived through the nightmare, tasted the poison and rejected the cure-less disease.”
‘‘ At a time when many governments around the world are still uncertain about how to deal with the terrorist regime ruling Iran, the people of Iran will never forget which countries and governments truly understood them and stood by them during these difficult days.” [@Anahit322175]

The Green Movement occurred in the weeks following the highly contested June 12, 2009 presidential election, in which incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the victor.
The official results sparked massive, non-violent demonstrations across Iran as supporters of opposition candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi claimed the election was rigged.
The movement adopted the color green, and the government responded with widespread arrests, violence, and heavy suppression of dissent. [1, 2, 3, 4]

In 2026, the situations of the two prominent Iranian reformist and Green Movement leaders diverge following their 15-year incarceration. [1, 2]
Mehdi Karroubi: Karroubi’s 15-year house arrest was officially lifted. He has made public statements challenging Iran’s current leadership and continues to advocate for the release of other political prisoners. [1, 2]
Mir-Hossein Mousavi: Despite negotiations for their joint release, Mousavi and his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, have remained under house arrest. Mousavi made headlines in early 2026 for strongly condemning the Iranian government’s crackdown on protesters. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The Iranian People’s Revolution has been ongoing since 1979.…. anti-government demonstrations began in October 1977, developing into a campaign of civil resistance that included communists, socialists, and Islamists
In addition to declaring the destruction of Israel as a core objective,[35][36]post-revolutionary Iran aimed to undermine the influence of Sunni leaders in the region by supporting Shi’ite political ascendancy and exporting Khomeinist doctrines abroad.[37] … seeking to establish an Iranian-led Shia political order in the Middle East.[38]
The revolution caused a drastic change in the Iranian culture. Iran was no longer a thriving country. This is part of the reason so many Iranians began to flee to America.[45]
2026 and IRAN/ PERSIA fights
to be FREE from Terrorism
On July 19, 2026: Iran ruthlessly executed two young men —for helping terrified protesters flee the regime’s brutal security forces during the widespread demonstrations earlier this year.
Erfan Esfandiari, 18, and Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, a 23-year-old Afghan refugee, were hanged on Sunday for sheltering demonstrators from government bullets and offering them refuge inside their homes, Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American journalist and activist, wrote for the Free Press, citing local reports.
The pair are among the 59 men arrested together during the January protests in Shahid Alikhani Square in Isfahan, during which Iranian officials say four security force members were killed.
Twelve of them, including Esfandiari and Mohammadi, were sentenced to death. Those dozen were moved into quarantine last week, which likely means the remaining 10 will be executed soon, according to Alinejad. [ NY POST]
On February 28, Donald Trump launched an illegal, unprovoked war on Iran.
“The US and Israeli militaries have since made over 3,000 strikes across the region, killing more than 1,300 Iranians — at least hundreds of them children — while eight American service members have already died and Trump openly admits many more will follow.
Every major war the United States has been forced to end was stopped not by the conscience of politicians but by sustained pressure from ordinary people who refused to accept the killing done in their name …. to expose this war for what it is: an illegal act of aggression waged to enrich oil executives and weapons manufacturers …
The April 8th actions occurred on the same day the U.S. and Iran agreed to a tentative 14-day ceasefire. Despite the pause in fighting, Iranian leadership and protesters remained highly skeptical, citing fears that the fragile truce could collapse into a wider conflict.
…organized by groups like the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, in major U.S. cities, demonstrators demanded an immediate end to U.S. military engagement and sought diplomatic solutions to prevent a wider regional conflict.

Since the start of the Iran War on February 28, 2026, Iran’s “Ghost Fleet” continues active operations—loading cargo, transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and sailing east toward China—though the U.S. blockade may now be restricting exports.
UANI (United Against a Nuclear Iran) tracking shows ongoing illicit maritime activity.An ongoing U.S. blockade initiated on April 13 targets vessels entering and exiting Iranian ports and those carrying sanctioned or contraband oil but does not apply to all Iran-linked ships.U.S. forces focus primarily on large VLCC tankers rather than smaller carriers.
UANI Applauds U.S. Enforcement
Actions on Iran’s Ghost Fleet
(New York, NY) – United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI)applauds President Trumpand his administration for the latest sanctions designations actiontargeting entities and vessels involved in the illicit transport of Iranian oil and petrochemicals.
Seven of the eight vessels designated by the U.S. Treasury Department had previously been listed on UANI’s Ghost Armada for evasion of American sanctions.
These vessels includeFLORA (IMO 9133070), HAUNCAYO (IMO 9180164), ILL GAP (IMO 9294305), MAYMEI (IMO 9133082), RCELEBRA (IMO 9286073), THEA (IMO 9298284), and YONGAN OCEAN (IMO 9288758).
One of the most frequently deployed tactics in evading oil sanctions is “flag hopping.” This involves the repeated switching of a ship’s “flag” – which permits legitimate global travel and docking rights – to different national registries. Often accompanied by the formation of new shell and front companies, ownership and name changes, and even alterations to ships’ physical markings,flag-hopping is a blight on legitimate maritime commerce.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran’s sunken ships will make “prime fishing spots … ”
“There is no Iranian navy,” Rubio said .. in a clip posted on X by the State Department. “It lies at the bottom of the ocean, and will soon, within a number of years, be prime fishing spots because they’ll turn into reefs.”
Iran also launched missiles and drones at Bahrain, another U.S. ally in the Gulf region, saying it was targeting the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet. The attacks further inflamed tensions as negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have dragged on without a resolution. [NYTimes]
The Best Deal With Iran Is No Deal At All
”It’s rare I cite National Review on the pages of Geller Report, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Dan McLaughlin is pessimistic about Trump’s ability to get a good deal from Iran’s regime, and suggests a better alternative in his view: no deal at all.”
”Fanatics don’t become rational because they’ve been pummeled militarily or because they are punished economically.
Neither the bombing they’ve endured, nor any blockade the U.S. can mount, can end their quest for a nuclear weapon with which to dominate the world and end the current world order. There is only one way to end the threat they pose to western civilization: end them! You can’t bargain with them, frighten them or bankrupt them.
The only thing that will work is total decapitation of the regime leadership down to the last man at the national, provincial and local level.”– (lost link)
Inside Rasht’s bloody crackdown:
witnesses detail secret removals of bodies
*Rasht is the largest city on Iran’s Caspian Sea coast*
Security forces opened fire on protesters, blocked medical aid and secretly removed bodies as they crushed demonstrations in Rasht, northern Iran, during January’s nationwide uprising, eyewitness accounts and documents sent to Iran International show.
Witnesses described security forces shooting at protesters, blocking aid to the wounded, demanding money from families before returning bodies, and pressuring relatives to hold secret burials and avoid public ceremonies.
The new accounts add to an Iran International public documentation campaign that has gathered testimony saying protesters in Rasht were driven into narrow market passages, trapped as fire spread and fired upon by security forces during January’s unrest.
Arab states can no longer pretend
Tehran’s threat is manageable
For decades, a dangerous illusion governed the Persian Gulf. Arab capitals knew the Islamic Republic was hostile. Yet, they believed the threat could be managed.
They treated Tehran’s subversion as a chronic illness, not a fatal one. The Arab states of the Persian Gulf opted for quiet diplomacy. Tehran opted for proxies and intimidation. This tense balance was always a house of cards. That house has collapsed.
Can Trump crack Iran’s negotiating playbook? The Strait of Hormuz represents
another test of Iran’s leverage.
For decades, the Islamic Republic has used the threat of disruption in the waterway as one of its most powerful strategic tools. But according to Homayoun Falakshahi, who leads Kpler’s crude oil analysis team, that leverage may already be eroding.
Falakshahi said oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen dramatically since the war and the US blockade on Iranian ports.Before the conflict, roughly 30 oil tankers transited the waterway daily. Today, the average is closer to one or two.
More importantly, he argues that the crisis is accelerating efforts by Gulf states to reduce their dependence on the strait altogether. Abu Dhabi is already expanding export capacity through Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, while other producers are exploring alternative routes.
“Five years from now, that leverage that the Islamic Republic currently has probably will not exist anymore,” .... “Iran may be overestimating the long-term value of its position. … They always overplay their hand,”….
For now, Iran is testing the limits: in Lebanon, in the Persian Gulf, at sea and at the negotiating table.
Trump may have disrupted Tehran’s playbook. But whether he has cracked it will depend on whether pressure produces a durable agreement—or simply another pause in a decades-long confrontation.
For the second time in six months, protesters gathered outside Park East Synagogue, which was holding an event to promote real estate sales in Israel. A heavy police presence kept the two groups apart. …as the acrimonious conflict in the Middle East once again spilled over into its streets. … Dozens of pro-Israel counter-demonstrators also assembled at the site.[NY Times]

ALL OUT TO PROTEST the “Great Israel Real Estate Event” Tues, May 5 6:30 pm 163 East 67th Street New York, NY 10065 All out to protest the illegal sale of #StolenPalestinianLand! We will not be silent as ethnic cleansing is being actively promoted in our neighborhoods.
FYI: The HISTORICALLY correct names for the “West Bank” are JUDEA and SAMARIA. “West Bank” is anti-Jewish agitprop.
From our Muslim Commie Mayor .…
”Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the event on Tuesday. Sam Raskin, his spokesman, said Mr. Mamdani was “deeply opposed” to the event because it “includes the promotion of the sale of land in settlements in the Occupied West Bank.”... “These settlements are illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians,”
In January- AFTER his election
The Mayor has struggled to earn the trust of segments of the Jewish community because of his criticism of Israel and his history of pro-Palestinian activism. But he alsowon the votes of many Jews who said they were inspired by his campaign and either unbothered by or supportive of his views on the Middle East. He has repeatedly vowed to protect the security and celebrate the contributions of Jewish New Yorkers, and has been endorsed by many progressive Jewish public figures and groups.[ny times]

The event at Park East on Tuesday, May 5, 2026,was organized by Tivuch Shelly, a firm that markets real estate in Israel and the West Bank to English speakers.: The “Great Israeli Real Estate Event” [https://www.tivuchshelly.com/]
The NYPD established a large security perimeter, blocking streets around the synagogue, which restricted access for both protesters and potential attendees.
Hundreds of protesters gathered to oppose the sale of land in Israel and the occupied ”West Bank”, causing chaotic scenes.
They chanted, “We don’t want no two states, we want all of it,” “End the settler Zionist state,” “Death to the IDF,” and, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution.”[Times of Israel]
” … the protest was “intended to create fear in the hearts of Jewish New Yorkers and stigmatize our community.” “This is part and parcel of the rising antisemitism that we are facing,” ….
HENCE: The “buffer zone”
“I’m not familiar with the Park East Synagogue. And having been standing where both protesters and counter-protesters were standing, you would not know where it was,” Bernstein said. “I’m actually still figuring out where the synagogue is because the buffers are so large that it’s impossible to know.”
A Jewish couple was surrounded and harassed last night outside the Park East Synagogue event. Masked individuals shouted. “You rape men, you rape children. “You f**king sociopath, I see it in your eyes.” Jews are starting to feel the danger of the Mamdani leadership.[@canarymission]
“These people are harassing Jews,” said Tim Rosen, 44, a lawyer from Queens. “They’re targeting Jews at a synagogue, it’s disgusting and vile and something I never thought I’d see in New York City. These people don’t want to free Palestine. They want to target Israel and kill Jews.” [NY Post]
“Whatever your politics, whatever your views, this is not the New York way and should be condemned.” [NY Times]
The terrorizing of Jews attending a real estate discussion at New York City’s Park East Synagogue last week must be the last straw. Every few weeks, there’s another incident. Another synagogue surrounded by protesters chanting “we need to make them scared.” Another Jewish worshipper put in a chokehold. Another commercial event forced to cancel because organized mobs showed up to intimidate attendees. Another neighborhood placed under siege while elementary schools lock their doors early.
And every time, the response follows the same script: politicians condemn it, community leaders call it unacceptable, a few arrests are made for disorderly conduct, and then — nothing. The organization that planned it moves on to the next event.
No more. It’s time that we took action to ensure that the organization that was responsible for organizing the terror campaign is bankrupted and dismantled. … We need to stop pretending these are isolated incidents. They are not. They are part of a coordinated national campaign. What they are doing is illegal and it is long past time to use the laws on the books to end their campaign of terror.
Former President, Bill Clinton – “I killed myself trying to give them a State for the Palestinians. I had a deal that they rejected that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. Whatever. They rejected it all.”The Palestinians never wanted peace.
They do not want PEACE.
Not with the Jews
… Mr. MAYOR Mamdani released a statement on the Israeli interception of a humanitarian aid flotilla in international waters, “These settlements are illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians.” [NY Times]
So, what can the future possibly hold if even the Leftist NY Jews continue to ELECT the likes of Zohran Kwame Mamdani as MAYOR of NYC.
PEACE will not be possible.

Post Script/Addendum:
The following week there were NO BUFFER ZONES
The chaos in Midwood yesterday was due to permitting the anti-Zionists to protest in the street without a permit. Until laws for protesting are enforced, we will continue to see harassment of Jews and physical violence. It will escalate because the Jew haters know there is no enforcement.
There was a huge turnout from the Midwood community and beyond. The unity was amazing. We had each other’s backs. It made a difference. A message was sent from the Jewish community at the Midwood protest

Coming soon: NAKBA DAY MAY 15, 2026
Every year on 15 May, Palestinians across the world, in Gaza, the West Bank, refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and diaspora communities on every continent, pause to remember one of the most devastating events in modern history. They carry keys. They carry photographs. They carry the names of villages that no longer exist. They carry memories passed from grandparent to parent to child, kept alive because remembrance is the only thread still connecting them to a home many have never seen. This is Nakba Day. (so they claim) [https://alqulubtrust.org/2026/04/22/what-is-nakba-day/]
The Nakba was the Arab failure to exterminate the Jews of the land and erase Israel. That was their documented and declared goal. The Arabs weren’t going to establish a “Palestinian’ state- they were going to grab more land for themselves and not allow the Jews- who they view as “Dimmis” – second class citizens- to have their self determination. They’re failure to destroy a tiny Jewish state was a HUMILIATION for them. That’s the meaning of Nakba. [@bigpaddlingmike]
.Still, they claim a “genocidal epidemic” …. THEY being the communist/socialist/ Hamasniks.
EVIL. Unabated.
Ending with Bill Doares – Workers World Party – Union Square-2025.
Bill repeats the anti-Israel propaganda that makes the hearts and minds of the gullible accepting of the lies. the propaganda. And, the TRUTH be damned.
