Jay Solomon, the author of this smear piece, was fired by the Wall St Journal after he was exposed for doing business with a CIA arms trafficker, Farhad Azima Solomon served as a middle man between the UAE and Azima on a $725 million contract to spy on Iran Solomon’s work with the Free Press, an Israeli propaganda cutout, appears consistent with the sordid activity that saw him use legitimate journalism as a cover for lucrative spy dealings But it’s also more pathetic, as he’s been reduced to criminalizing a young American woman, Calla Walsh, for antiwar activity that clearly falls under the First Amendment protected speech

Oh, really? So now you suddenly care about the Albanian people? The same Albanian people whose institutions, public services and digital infrastructure were the target of a cyberterror campaign that aimed to cripple an entire country, and which international investigations have traced back to actors linked to and supported by your regime. We know those fingerprints all too well. We know the methods. We know the threats. And we know that what has driven your hostility toward Albania has never been Zionism, nor any other convenient slogan of your despicable propaganda. It is your hostility toward freedom itself. You cannot forgive Albania for doing what Albanians do: opening their doors to people fleeing persecution. You cannot forgive Albania for giving shelter to Iranian men and women whom you sought to silence through intimidation, imprisonment and death simply because they dare to think differently, speak differently or dream differently. But we are Albanians. We do not abandon people who knock on our door seeking protection from oppression. We did not do so when Jews fleeing Nazi persecution needed refuge. We became the only country in Europe with more Jews after World War II than before it. And we will not let down the Iranians who seek safety from intimidation, persecution or assassination. Nor will we yield to your desperate and relentless cyberattacks. After your major assault, we built a resilient, state-of-the-art cyber shield that has made Albania far stronger and far better prepared to confront your desperate cyberattacks that continue with no success. You are free to use the privileges of open societies to spread your false narratives, your shameless accusations and your brutal threats. But as we Albanians learned from fifty years of darkness under our atheocratic dictatorship, propaganda can conceal the truth, distort the truth and postpone the truth, but it can never bury the truth not even under the weight of a medieval theocracy like yours. Your regime can hack networks, imprison critics, censor voices, threaten opponents, bully neighbours and manufacture endless excuses for its failures. But it cannot escape reality forever. Regimes built on fear, censorship, repression and the crushing of dissent may endure for a time, but history is merciless toward those who wage war against their own people's freedom and prosperity. The Iranian people deserve freedom. They deserve dignity. They deserve the right to speak without fear. And Albania will never apologize, never retreat and never be intimidated for standing on the side of those values. So keep manipulating and deceiving whoever in the colourful West is willing to fall for your falsehoods. But you will never make Albanians enemies of peoples - whether Jews, Arabs or Americans. Because what they share, and what you fear, is the very things you have denied your own nation for far too long: Great hopes, big dreams and the determination to live free, to seek peace and to relentlessly build prosperity🇦🇱🤝🇮🇱🤝🇦🇪🤝🇶🇦🤝🇸🇦🤝🇺🇸

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett: I think Trump certainly respects the fact that we're an independent country. We were attacked last night by dozens of Iranian ballistic missiles and any independent sovereign country has to defend itself. We did nothing to provoke this attack by Iran. We didn't attack them. They attacked us. x.com/naftalibennett/status/…
