An Iranian writer and activist has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after replying with a single dot, or period, in response to a post on the social platform X by Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Hossein Shanbehzadeh, a longtime critic of Iran’s leadership, was active on social media, supporting political prisoners and the removal of mandatory headscarves for women. He was sent to prison in 2019 for his online comments insulting Khamenei. He later wrote about the experience, including being flogged, according to Voice of America.

In early June, 35-year-old Shanbehadeh was arrested in Ardabil, northwestern Iran. According to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, he told his family he wasn’t sure why he was arrested, but it came shortly after he posted the response to Khamenei’s tweet, which showed the Iranian leader with the country’s national volleyball team.

Right now, people in Germany can carry knives up to 4.7 inches long. The law will be modified so that they can only carry knives up to 2.4 inches long.

University of Michigan security broke up a pro-Palestinian student “die-in” demonstration Wednesday and police arrested four people, in the latest sign that campus activism across the country is resuming as the fall semester begins.

None of the four people arrested were students, a university spokesperson told press. One is a temporary university employee. At least one arrested protester got into a physical altercation with police, according to the Michigan Daily, the student newspaper.

The protest was backed by a pro-Palestinian student coalition that includes the university’s chapter of the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace and was staged during a popular outdoor showcase for fall student activities. Members of the collective claimed on Instagram that one student had been arrested and later released.

The graffiti, sprayed across the sandstone monument, said “Jews are committing genocide” in English. The words “Free Palestine,” accompanied by the image of a Palestinian flag, were sprayed on the ground below it. A local tour guide discovered the vandalism on Wednesday, according to the Juedische Allgemeine, a German Jewish publication.

The incident is the latest in which Holocaust memorials and Jewish sites have been hit with pro-Palestinian and antisemitic graffiti since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7. Earlier this summer, a Seattle Holocaust museum was tagged with pro-Palestinian graffiti, and U.S. synagogues have also been defaced with anti-Israel messages. In the Netherlands last month, a statue of Anne Frank was vandalized with spray paint, and in the fall a mural in Italy honoring Frank was also damaged.

Iran has spent the last decade quietly smuggling advanced weapons into the West Bank to arm more than two dozen militant factions responsible for a spate of recent terror attacks, experts say, culminating on Wednesday in a massive Israeli military operation to root out Tehran’s proxies.

Regional analysts have been warning for some time that a weakened Palestinian Authority government in the West Bank has set the stage for Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) to usurp control over the area and use it as a launching pad for Oct. 7-style attacks in densely populated areas near Jerusalem. Now, Tehran is funding, arming, and directing a constellation of more than 20 militant groups that see the West Bank as a pathway to terror in central Israel, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) think tank.

“Arms have flooded the West Bank, and terrorist organizations that used to be confined to some areas in the northern Gaza Strip have now flourished,” Joe Truzman, an FDD research analyst who focuses on Palestinian militant groups, told the Washington Free Beacon. “Now, there are more than two dozen branches established by Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades in the West Bank,” a sharp uptick from previous years.

The University of Michigan’s new student government campaigned on a simple message: Until the school agrees to divest from Israel, “No Business As Usual.”

Michigan’s Central Student Government is in charge of disbursing a $1.3 million annual budget, funded by student fees, among hundreds of student groups. But in the wake of its election victory in the spring, the Shut It Down Party is vowing to withhold funding from all student groups unless the university agrees to divest.

“If CSG cannot be used to support our pursuit of divestment, we will take decisive action to disrupt the status quo,” a March campaign statement from the party reads. “We will halt CSG activity and funding dispersal until the University of Michigan divests. We will Shut. It. Down.”

“Almost daily one of them would enter the room, saying, ‘Would be better for you to be a Muslim woman,’ and once the terrorist sent one of his comrades to get a head covering to put on me, and show me what it means to be a Muslim woman,” Yanai said.

“As a woman, my biggest fear is being sold. That someone would forcefully marry me and that I will have to convert to Islam.”

People who have been following international news closely in recent years might have noticed that Qatar keeps appearing in the headlines and clearly punches well above its weight in world affairs for a country with only 300,000 citizens.

Lately, Qatar has been in the spotlight for housing the Hamas leadership while at the same time playing the role of the main negotiator, together with Egypt, for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Qatar also served as a safe haven for the Taliban for many years, and in 2020, facilitated a peace agreement between the United States and the Islamist group.

In between, Doha has also managed to organize the World Cup in football and was behind the largest corruption scandal in the history of the European Parliament, known as “Qatargate.”

A massive coordinated terror attack on several locations in southwestern Pakistan has left at least 70 dead over a 24-hour period of terror which started Sunday night.

The attacks were the work of a separatist group called the Baluch Liberation Army (BLA), which claimed responsibility. It started with bombings and gunfire targeting a national military camp in Pakistan’s Baluchistan Province, which left at least one soldier dead.

In the same area, gunmen stormed four police stations, setting vehicles on fire. By morning, a key bridge in the area was also attacked and destroyed. But the situation escalated when militants attacked a major highway in a town called Bela. They intercepted traffic and then proceeded to execute people, reports say.

Hezbollah on Sunday threatened further aggression in its war on Israel, leaving U.S. officials scrambling to contain the fallout of a weekend strike on the Jewish state that saw the Iran-backed terror group fire hundreds of missiles and drones.

At least one Israeli was killed over the weekend when Hezbollah bombarded the country with advanced missiles and suicide drones as payback for the assassination last month of senior commander Fuad Shukr. Israel successfully fended off the strike, which was focused on civilian centers and military facilities, including those near Tel Aviv. It preemptively destroyed Hezbollah rocket launchers aimed at Tel Aviv and set to fire Sunday morning, limiting damage.

Hezbollah threatened further escalation, with its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, saying Sunday that “if the result” of the current strike “is not enough, then we retain the right to respond another time.” Israel also said it is prepared for further action and will not back down from the threats posed by Iran’s terror proxies. “This is not the end of the story,” Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanuyahu warned over the weekend after his military blasted more than 40 Hezbollah-controlled sites across Lebanon.

A major manhunt is underway after a Friday night mass stabbing attack killed three people and wounded eight more at a “Festival of Diversity” in Germany. Living up to the event’s billing, witnesses to the bloodshed in the western German city of Solingen say the attacker was Arab in appearance — a detail every major US news outlet is omitting from its coverage as our report is written.

“This evening we are all in shock, horror and great sadness in Solingen. We all wanted to celebrate our city’s anniversary together and now we have dead and injured people to mourn,” said Solingen Mayor Tim-Oliver Kurzbach. “I pray for all those who are still fighting for their lives.” While the festival was indeed being held on the occasion of the city’s 650th anniversary, rather than emphasizing German heritage and history, the organizers were apparently determined to put “diversity” front and center.

Several years ago, Texas had a brilliant idea: take the millions of illegal immigrant that were flooding its territory as a result of policies adopted in faraway places like DC, and bus them to places like New York and DC, other so-called sanctuary cities and, best of all, Martha’s Vineyard where those who run New York and DC tend to go on vacation. The result was an immediate revulsion by the false virtue-signaling NIMBY crowd, which cried foul at having to suffer the consequences of its actions.

Turns out Texas’ idea was so good it is now being adopted across the Atlantic, where another illegal alien invasion has been taking place for the past decade, slowly replacing the indigenous population with millions of immigrants from northern Africa and the middle east.

Now, one European country has decided it also has had enough: Hungary suggested that it might – like Texas – start transporting migrants who show up at its border straight to Brussels, unless it can resolve a dispute with the European Union on penalties for its asylum policies, Bloomberg reported.

Anti-Israel protesters defaced a pro-life pregnancy resource center in Chicago late Thursday night after the close of the Democratic National Convention.

Vandals painted “Fake clinic” and “The real dead babies are in Gaza” in red spray paint on the entrance to the center, and put cement in the locks so employees couldn’t get into the building and see clients, Mary FioRito, an Aid for Women volunteer and advisory board member, told The Daily Signal.

The attack, which took place the final night of the Democratic convention in Chicago, comes after Planned Parenthood offered free abortions and vasectomies to attendees outside the stadium. At least 25 unborn babies were reportedly killed in the mobile abortion truck.

The German traffic light coalition is considering paying “financial travel support” to asylum seekers set to be deported to Afghanistan, Bild reports. Critics question why the country would reward foreigners with no residency rights to do what they are supposed to do anyway—leave the country.

Providing rejected migrants with ‘start-up money’ for food and housing is intended to encourage them to leave, but also to help avoid legal challenges, Germany’s interior ministry said. Failed asylum seekers have in the past challenged deportation orders on grounds of being returned to abject poverty.

Programs already exist in different German states to assist rejected asylum seekers who return to their home countries voluntarily. Amounts can range from a few hundred to “several thousand euros,” Bild says—amounts that are still small compared to the cost of having the migrants remain in Germany.

I first heard the word “Islamism” in a video of a 2010 debate between Maajid Nawaz, Zeba Khan, Douglas Murray, and Ayan Hirsi Ali. Nawaz explained that he used the term “Islamism” to denote an ideology that advocates establishing Islamic supremacy and “Islamist” to describe anyone who wants to further that aim. This terminology allowed him, he argued, to distinguish between moderate and fundamentalist Muslims. But it is telling that we do not make this distinction with regard to any other religion. In his choice of lexicon, Nawaz was applying a double standard. He wanted to avoid tarring all Muslims with the same brush, but this could have been done by using qualifiers such as “fundamentalist,” “extremist,” or “radical.”

Legacy media outlets and left-leaning nonprofits may seek to distance themselves from the anti-Israel protests on college campuses and in Washington, D.C., many of which have devolved into outright antisemitism. Yet influential outlets and activist groups have at least one key tie to a notorious group supporting the anti-Israel protests, and an organization that represents more than 2,500 Orthodox Jewish rabbis is sounding the alarm.

Despite its anodyne name, Jewish Voice for Peace enflames anti-Israel sentiment. On the very day that Hamas terrorists raped, murdered, and took hostages in Israel (Oct. 7, 2023), JVP leaders blamed “Israeli apartheid and occupation” as “the source of all this violence.”

In the weeks afterward, Jewish Voice for Peace rallygoers in Providence, Rhode Island, chanted, “Hey hey, ho ho, the Yahudi [Jews] have got to go!” JVP speakers in Philadelphia stated: “The anticolonial armed resistance out of the Gaza Strip was provoked by decades of Israeli state-sanctioned violence and to report it otherwise is false and misleading.”

This underscores my suspicion that Islam is a deliberate attempt by Satan to extirpate the Chosen People of God. Prove me wrong.
