Ghazal Demerchali was 17. Shot twice in the legs, then shot in the heart by terror forces of Iran’s Islamic regime during nationwide protests. A graphic design student. A child. Rest in peace.

BREAKING🚨: A growing body of intelligence and law enforcement investigations suggests that Russia and Iran are increasingly recruiting teenagers across Europe to carry out acts of sabotage, espionage, and antisemitic violence. According to multiple reports, young people—some as young as 11—have been approached through Telegram, TikTok, Discord, gaming platforms, and other social media channels, often lured by cryptocurrency payments and promises of quick money rather than ideology. European security services describe the tactic as a new form of “hybrid warfare,” exploiting vulnerable youth as disposable proxies. Investigators have linked a series of attacks on Jewish schools, synagogues, charities, and community organisations across Europe to Iranian-backed networks and the militant group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), which is alleged to operate as a front for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Authorities believe many of the perpetrators were local teenagers or young criminals recruited online with little understanding of the wider geopolitical operation they were serving. Recent investigations have connected these networks to attacks in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and elsewhere, while intelligence agencies warn that similar recruitment methods are also being used by Russian operatives. The concern has become so significant that the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and several European allies recently issued a joint condemnation of Iran’s alleged “lethal plotting” and covert operations on foreign soil. Security officials warn that hostile states are increasingly outsourcing terrorism, intimidation, and political violence to digitally recruited local actors, creating plausible deniability while spreading fear and instability. The message from counterterrorism experts is clear: modern conflict is no longer confined to battlefields—it is increasingly being fought through social media, criminal networks, and the manipulation of young people.

.@volker_turk You accuse us of “disinformation” and “intimidation”? Our report documents UN rapporteurs taking millions from China, Russia, Qatar & other donors, praising dictatorships, and targeting democracies. Instead of attacking the messenger, why not address the evidence?
I condemn disinformation campaigns & attempts to undermine the credibility of the UN human rights system, including @UN_SPExperts mandate holders. Criticism & debate are legitimate & necessary; efforts to intimidate, discredit, or even sanction, are not. They are unacceptable. - UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk

My God. This Israeli witness described a scene in which a group of Palestinians dragged a woman from a vehicle, raped her and mocked her throughout the attack. The woman was then brutally murdered with a knife, after which … the sexual abuse continued. After she was dead. The same group later encountered a man and woman attempting to flee and killed them using axes and knives Palestinian civilians who participated in the October 7 attacks arrived carrying weapons such as axes and knives and were intent on inflicting extreme sexual violence against Jewish victims.

Libi Cohen-Meguri was murdered on October 7th at just 22 years old. She went to dance at the Nova festival and was shot by Hamas terrorists while trying to escape on Route 232. At 8:11 AM, she called her parents: “I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.” In calm and heartbreaking words, she understood the end had come. She asked to speak to her twin brother Tomer and little sister Maya: “I’m going to die. Just listen. I love you, Yariv — the best dad I could’ve had. Mom, please stop screaming, just listen — you’re the best mom we could have asked for. Don’t forget to be a good mom to Tomer and Maya. Tomer, how lucky we were to live life together. I love you. Maya, never forget you are the treasure of my life.” Her parents begged her to lie on the road and pretend to be dead. She did. But the terrorists saw her move. “Mom, they’re coming to shoot me again...” Screams in Arabic. A long burst of gunfire. And the call was cut. Alone on the road divider, her body was riddled with bullets at point-blank range. Murdered in cold blood. But Libi was light. Joy. Love. A proud and outstanding IDF infantry officer, full of life and laughter, always giving to others. Her photos radiate kindness. Her memory will live forever.

Noa Farage just wanted to dance. But she was massacred by Palestinian terrorists at the Nova fest on 10/7. A lovely girl, she is survived by her mom, dad, two brothers and her dog named Churchill. May Noa's memory be a blessing 🧡

This is Sergeant Adi Gruman, the eldest daughter of Anat and Asaf. a combat reconnaissance fighter from Battalion 414. Only 19 years old when she was murdered. Adi served at the Urim base on the morning of October 7th and was deployed with several other soldiers to a battle at a base near her own. When she arrived with several fighters, they were attacked by 15 terrorists. They fought a battle against them for almost two hours when the commander needed 2 soldiers to charge forward with him. Adi Yashar volunteered. They managed to ELIMINATE 8 terrorists in this battle. At the end of the battle, one of the terrorists, just before he was killed, managed to hit Adi who was killed on the spot. Heroine of Israel, may her memory be blessed.💔

Reports of a massive Russian attack on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities tonight. Could it have anything to do with Moscow concluding that the United States just caved to Iran?

This will be remembered for generations. The Iranian people extended a hand of friendship to America, and once again they were thrown under the bus. For Iranians, this will be seen the greatest betrayals in history. Not because they expected others to fight their battles, but because they were encouraged to believe that freedom and democracy mattered, only to watch political interests take precedence once again. The Iranian people will not forget this.

This baby was only 8 months old when he was kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists from his home, along with his brother and mother, and taken to an underground terror tunnel in Gaza. They were all murdered in that dark tunnel, alone and afraid. Never forget how this war started.

"IF WE RESIST, THEY'll KILL US" Emily Hand — one of the youngest hostages taken by Hamas on Oct 7 — described the moment she was captured at knife-point to news. Nine-year-old Emily was bundled into a car by members of the terror group from Gaza back in 2023. She then spent 50 days held hostage in the enclave before being released as part of a prisoner exchange deal. Emily, who was eight at the time of the attack, was staying with a friend at the Be’eri Kibbutz when Hamas struck. “When they arrived, we just opened up. Because if we held the door they’d shoot and the bullets would hit us,” she told Channel 4 after the ordeal. “So we just opened the door.” “They threatened us with a knife. If we resist, they’ll kill us,” Emily said, describing the moment she was taken from a small Israeli community known for being home to many Left-leaning peace activists. “They put a blanket over us so that we won’t see and maybe run away. So we won’t know the way back.”🎗️

This is a fairly long film in terms of what X likes, but it is one of the most important and detailed videos that absolutely everybody should bookmark, watch and share. This is the most detailed evidence-based film about the Origins of the Palestinian Cause, right from its Nazi roots. I cannot complement the producer of this film, @rehoov, enough. This is a masterpiece of historical significance. I hope people like @MOSSADil @marklevinshow @DefiyantlyFree @BillAckman @ACTBrigitte @jihadwatchRS and others may share this to a much wider audience. It is so essential that the truth is seen by everyone, and the lies exposed.

Or Akoni (32) was killed by Hamas in her home on October 7th, along with her parents. Hamas went from home to home, butchering families and burning them alive while live-streaming it. Israel fights demons, and every sane person should stand with Israel. Remember her name.

For those who haven't been following -- and nobody's been following because nobody cares, least of all the journalists' NGOs -- Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been steadily releasing death notifications for one "journalist" after another, listing them invariably as fighters and commanders in the organizations' ranks. It's dozens now. Maybe more. But the "Israel targets journalists" meme is forever. The facts will never penetrate the thick fog of ideological confirmation bias that has overtaken the NGO and activism world and its journalistic arms in the mainstream media. Literally no one cares about whether journalists were actually hunted down by Israel, as it was depicted by @pressfreedom and others, or whether Hamas used fake "journalist" claims to protect combatant commanders, counting on a global NGO and media ecosystem it knew was looking to confirm its biases. No one will examine these falsehoods or report on them in a visible way because no one cares about the wellbeing of the real journalists, who are desperately endangered when combatant commanders are labeled "journalists" -- and even the world's major journalist advocacy groups decide to play along.
🧵FAKE Gaza Journalist Alert: Helmi Al-Faqawi is listed by @pressfreedom as a journalist killed by the IDF at a "reporter's tent" at Nasser Hospital. But PIJ confirmed he was a commander—he used the hospital as a base. The 14th fake journalist outed in the last few weeks. 1/

1/5 An open letter to @TheLancet from an Iranian-Jewish cardiologist. Today, one of the world's most prestigious medical journals published a campaign to suspend the Israeli Medical Association from the World Medical Association — the body founded after WWII to ensure physicians would never again be weaponized by political ideology. I'm a cardiologist. I'm an Iranian Jew who grew up under a regime where medicine was subjugated to the state. What The Lancet just did is a disgrace to my profession. Here's what they published — and what they deliberately left out.

This is totally irresponsible by Khan. He seems hell bent on pedalling misinformation. And it can have deadly consequences for his Jewish population.
The organisers of the Israel property sales event have stated that this does not include anything outside Israel proper. Yet Sadiq Khan and Zack Polanski continue to agitate against the event. Starting to look xenophobic lads.
