At last, a just war Now Iranians must find their own Mandela or Walesa, writes Yair Lapid

Yair Lapid, who has endorsed the indiscriminate nature of Israel's war on Iran which includes the systematic series of assassinations of opposition figures, claims that Iran must now find "a Mandela or Walesa"

It isn't surprising, but most Western discussions and talking points, on both the right and left, are largely irrelevant to the hopes and fears of Iranians right now. And there is a *lot* of diversity between Iranian diasporas.

My basic advice to you, when speaking to Iranians right now, is to recognize the stress that they are under and not assume you know how they feel about all of this.

How the Islamic Republic treats the Iranian people during wartime:

There are no air raid sirens or shelters. Authorities also shut down the internet and are jamming satellite signals from diaspora news channels, preventing access to information.

Now need to prepare for the possibility that my mum cannot fly out on Monday from Beirut to see her grandkids — Or, if she manages to leave, for the possibility that she cannot fly back.

It all depends of what our curse - the Israelis and Americans - decide to do with our lives.

Saudi Foreign Ministry:

We condemn the blatant violation of the sovereignty of Bahrain, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

We warn of the serious consequences of this matter.

Within hours of Oman's Foreign Minister saying "Iran agreed to zero enriched uranium stockpiling", Israel immediately bombs Tehran & the US promptly joins

This can only mean it was NEVER about nuclear weapons & Trump is either compromised by Netanyahu or is using war to shape the midterm elections

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

The Brazilian Supreme Court concluded a ruling on the country’s Civil Rights Framework for the Internet in June last year, establishing that digital platforms are not neutral in relation to the content circulating within their virtual environments. Regulating content removal is not a simple task.

How do we call out imbalance and demand accountability from tech companies?

From national mobilisations to discussions around the world, one message is clear in our #recap of 2025 content: we need greater #CorporateAccountability, grounded in the defence of #HumanRights.

As former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett describe Turkey “as the new Iran” I’m wondering when it will be obvious that Israeli political culture cannot sustain itself without constantly creating new enemies.

As Cavafi wrote in Waiting for the Barbarians,

"Because night has fallen and the barbarians haven't come.
And some of our men just in from the border say
there are no barbarians any longer.

Now what’s going to happen to us without barbarians?"

ESTOS son los problemas de la gente obrera de a pie. Estos. No los therian o el burka o su madre en chancletas. Por lo que sea, Vox+PP (los que gobiernan en Murcia) hablan CERO de esto. No sólo no hablan, si no que además se encargan de activamente destrozar el acceso a la dependencia.
