Vrouwen zonder hoofddoek Iran die Khomeini steunden in 1979:
The iconic 1979 photograph shows two left-wing Iranian students, identified in historical accounts as Sahar Mohammadi (left) and Maryam Rafiei (right), celebrating the victory of the Islamic Revolution while holding a portrait of Ayatollah Khomeini.... During Iran’s 1979 revolution, women joined millions of Iranians opposing the Shah. But the anger behind the revolution had been building for decades. In 1953, after Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh nationalized Iran’s oil industry, British intelligence and the CIA helped orchestrate the operation that removed him and strengthened Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Shah then became one of Washington’s most important Cold War allies in the Middle East. By 1979, opposition to the Shah united an unlikely coalition of Islamists, liberals, nationalists and leftists. Many also viewed the monarchy as a symbol of decades of American and British interference in Iran. They succeeded in removing the Shah, but their alliance quickly fractured. Ayatollah Khomeini and his supporters consolidated power, and many of the secular and left-wing groups that had participated in the revolution were eventually pushed aside. Many left-leaning and secular students supported the revolution believing it would bring freedom and modernity, but the new theocratic regime quickly turned on its political allies, executing thousands of dissidents, including Maryam Rafiei. The political affiliations of the women in this particular photograph are unclear, but the image captures the enormous optimism surrounding a revolution whose outcome many of its participants could not yet foresee. The photograph is often said to show Maryam Rafiei and Sahar Mohammadi. The identities are sometimes debated; history is not always careful with captions; but the symbolism attached to the image has become almost canonical. Two progressive students celebrating the revolution that toppled Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, smiling beneath a portrait of the man whose regime would eventually erase people just like them. It is the smile that lingers. In the winter of 1979, Tehran was briefly a city where incompatible dreams shared the same street. Marxists, liberal intellectuals, devout clerics, and student radicals marched together in opposition to the monarchy. For many on the left, the alliance with the Islamic movement was tactical, temporary; a revolutionary convergence that would eventually produce democracy. Instead, it produced the Islamic Republic. The same one that has now killed over 40,000 Iranian protestors this year within just 2 days and the body bags to show for it. Within two years after the 1979 revolution, the new state had consolidated power under the doctrine of clerical rule. Leftist newspapers were banned, universities purged, political parties dismantled. The revolution began devouring those who had helped create it. The viral story attached to the photograph says that Maryam Rafiei, was executed (beheaded) roughly a decade later during the 1988 Mass Executions of Iranian Political Prisoners. In that summer alone, thousands of prisoners, many of them secular leftists, were executed after brief interrogations inside Iranian prisons. Human rights groups estimate that between 4,000 and 5,000 people were killed in a matter of weeks. The another woman Sahar Mohammadi, is often said to have fled Iran and now lives in exile in Sweden. Whether every detail is perfectly documented matters less than the historical pattern the image evokes. The Iranian revolution did not merely defeat its enemies. It eliminated its allies. #archaeohistories

Potkast! Palliewapspecialist Kees Broer alias @keesjemadura burgerjournalist Eppo Tjuchem @EppoTjuchem en onze Ruben @rubengischler gingen undercover (in Baghwankloffie) in Amsterdam en komen met hilarische ooggetuigeverklaringen over de laatste stuiptrekking van de bejaarde activisten die verder toch niks te doen hebben buiten klaverjassen en Nordic Walken. Of zoals Van Amerongen het omschrijft in zijn essay voor GeenStijl @geenstijl a.s. zaterdag: verschrompelde ANWB-stelletjes, gefossiliseerde Trouw-lezeressen, geëxalteerde macraméheksjes, gepensioneerde sannyasins en busladingen grouponnières uit de negorij des lands die iedere maand iets “geks” doen (workshop dildo kleien bij de Libelle & Margriet Zomerweek in Biddinghuizen sur Plage).  open.spotify.com/episode/3Q1…

Ruim vijftig jaar geleden vonden er in Nederland meerdere grote aanslagen, kapingen en gijzelingen plaats door militante Palestijnse groeperingen. Omdat dit ver voor het internettijdperk gebeurde, zijn de bizarste details bij het grote publiek volledig weggezakt. Dit is wat er destijds in ons land gebeurde: 💥 Februari 1972 – Bomaanslagen en een steekvlam van 70 meter: In de nacht van 5 op 6 februari gingen er zware tijdbommen af bij gasverdeelstations van de Nederlandse Gasunie in Ravenstein en Ommen. In Ravenstein schoot een gigantische steekvlam van 70 meter hoog de lucht in. Honderden inwoners moesten midden in de nacht in doodsangst hun huizen uit worden geëvacueerd, terwijl de schade in de miljoenen liep. De aanslagen werden opgeëist door de Palestijnse terreurgroep Zwarte September (die een half jaar later ook de bloedige aanslag op de Olympische Spelen in München pleegde), omdat Nederland volgens hen Israël steunde. ✈️ November 1973 – Kaping van KLM-vlucht 'Mississippi': Een KLM-toestel dat vanuit Amsterdam was vertrokken met 247 passagiers en bemanningsleden, werd boven Irak gekaapt door gewapende Palestijnse militanten. Ze beweerden dat KLM wapens vervoerde naar Israël en dreigden het vliegtuig op te blazen als Nederland zijn houding niet zou veranderen. De inzittenden zaten drie dagen lang in doodsangst vast voordat de gijzeling in Dubai eindigde. 🔥 Maart 1974 – Handgranaat in de cockpit en brand op Schiphol: Twee gewapende Palestijnse kapers stormden de cockpit van een British Airways Super VC-10 binnen op het moment dat de boordwerktuigkundige net even naar het toilet was. De kapers hadden handgranaten zonder veiligheidsring in hun handen en een wapen die ze direct tegen de copiloot aanhielden, terwijl hij werd gedwongen koers te zetten naar Schiphol. Nadat de 102 inzittenden op Schiphol naar buiten mochten, goten de kapers sterke drank en parfum uit over de stoelen en staken het vliegtuig midden op de landingsbaan in brand. 🚨 Oktober & november 1974 – Gijzeling in Scheveningen en vrije aftocht Zeven maanden later sloeg diezelfde Schiphol-kaper Adnan Nuri opnieuw toe vanuit zijn cel. Op zaterdagmiddag 26 oktober 1974 overmeesterde hij samen met drie medegevangenen (een Egyptische gedetineerde en twee Nederlandse zware criminelen) met binnengesmokkelde wapens en messen de kapel van de strafgevangenis in Scheveningen tijdens een kerkdienst. Ze namen 22 onschuldige mensen in gijzeling als menselijk schild: leden van het Haagse kerkkoor dat daar optrad, een predikant, bewaarders en enkele bezoekers. Hun keiharde eis aan de Nederlandse regering: een vrije aftocht naar Schiphol en een vliegtuig dat hen naar het buitenland zou vliegen om aan hun straffen te ontkomen. De regering weigerde deze keer toe te geven. Pas na 106 uur in doodsangst maakte een bliksemsnelle bestorming door mariniers (BBE) met schokgranaten een einde aan de gijzeling en werden alle gijzelaars ongedeerd bevrijd. Het meest bizarre slotstuk volgde een maand later: toen andere Palestijnse militanten in Dubai opnieuw een vliegtuig kaapten en dreigden passagiers te vermoorden, zwichtte Nederland alsnog. Beide daders van de Schiphol-kaping werden voortijdig vrijgelaten en op het vliegtuig naar het Midden-Oosten gezet. Het is verbijsterend hoe kort het geheugen in Nederland is. Terwijl ons land in de jaren zeventig keihard werd gechanteerd, gegijzeld en aangevallen vanuit datzelfde conflict, haalt de politiek anno 2026 zonder enig historisch besef opnieuw grote groepen mensen uit Gaza en de Palestijnse gebieden naar Nederland, zonder te weten wie er precies binnenkomt. Maar hé, zou dit misschien precies zijn waar Israël al decennialang tegen vecht? 🤷‍♂️ Hebben we dan echt niets geleerd van onze eigen geschiedenis? anderetijden.nl/aflevering/5… vn.nl/de-vergeten-gijzeling-…

De pkn kerk van Brielle houdt een pro - Palestina tentoonstelling in de Sjoel van Brielle die sinds enige tijd in hun bezit is. Rob van den Engel die het met deze tentoonstelling niet eens is maar zich wel heeft aangemeld voor de opening krijgt Bezoek en wel: van de Politie …. Zie video Beter zouden ze langsgaan bij deze kerk om de tentoonstelling te verplaatsen naar hun mega toren die toch leeg staat ! Joden en degenen die hen bijstaan moeten blijkbaar zwijgen terwijl de andere kant mag doorstampen. Geen wonder dat de enige Joodse overlevende van 40-45 daar niet wilde terugkeren van de plaats waar iedereen stond toe te kijken bij hun wegvoering 😡

Jodenhaat in Groningen: "Fuck Elias! Fuck Israël!" Rode feestverlichting op het stadhuis voor De Rode Lijn, terwijl Elias Siekman even verderop in het donker getuigt van de kille realiteit: Een hechte vriend van acht jaar die zich na 7 oktober plots tegen hem keert, vrienden die vinden dat híj door het stof moet, en het wrange besef dat een keppeltje dragen tegenwoordig al als dapper geldt. "Om Joods te zijn zou je geen moed nodig moeten hebben." Pijnlijk en confronterend voor het stadsbestuur. #Groningen #SolidarityWalk #RodeLijn #Kamminga #antisemitisme #jodenhaat

So, based on the 5m+ views here and the tens of millions more via re-shares elsewhere, it seems I accidentally perfected minimal-effort tongue-in-cheek rage bait for English people. I’m particularly delighted with the 20,000 who bookmarked it—presumably intending to use it as a tourist map. Hilarious. But a few clarifications: 1. To everyone saying “but my neighbourhood is lovely”—yes, I know. Notice the minimal effort. Don’t take this too seriously. 2. At the same time, the “London Banana”—which I randomly made up based on personal experience—actually aligns pretty well with a number of quality-of-life proxy maps, such as violent crime rates (which have doubled in the last 10 years), property prices, and more. 3. To the good people of Dulwich: I’ve never been, but I totally accept the feedback. 4. To the angry people of Maida Vale and Notting Hill: You were left out by accident, thanks to a careless swipe of a fat thumb. Sorry, I can’t fix this now. You’re out of the Banana. Deal with it. 🤪
This is the London Banana. As long as you stay within the Banana, you'll have a great time in London. Almost everything outside the Banana is horrible these days, best avoid. Not clear why, or when this happened. But it is what it is.

After an 80-year intermission, supporters of a regime hellbent on the genocide of Jews have the German police working for them again, it seems. Walking in central Frankfurt, I noticed this sad little IRGC gathering and recorded this short clip as I walked past. One of the participants, who seemed to be on good terms with the dozens of police surrounding the square, started following me, demanding I show her what I filmed, while calling for the police. I walked away from her and was immediately surrounded by three, and then about ten, police officers. On the instructions of this IRGC woman, they took my name and ID and questioned me extensively about why I was filming, as she listened in from the sidelines. My European ID did not entirely satisfy them, and they kept pressing me on my “nationality”. Nevermind then.

Hallo @sarahdobbe van de SP. Zag je net in Tweede Kamer klagen over tentjes in Gaza. Weet je wie daar schuldig aan is? Niet Israël. Hoor het van deze Gazaan:
REVEALED: The scandal surrounding Gaza's failed winterization efforts lays bare a grim reality: Hamas obstructed attempts to protect Palestinian civilians before the devastating winter storms that flooded tens of thousands of tents. Palestinian Authority employees inside Gaza have reported that professionals from the Ministries of Public Works and Relief Affairs were intimidated, summoned, and coerced by Hamas into signing pledges not to undertake humanitarian projects without the group's approval. According to their accounts, those who defied Hamas risked so-called "field justice," including beatings and worse. Several officials, including Najla Hammad, Ihab Al-Bahtiti, Khaled Abu Safiya, Wiam Aboul-Nasr, Dr. Adnan Hamouda, and Ahmed Abu Zaiter, have publicly stated that efforts to build more durable fiberglass housing and improve conditions for displaced civilians were blocked. Another example was a proposal that was put forward to demolish several heavily damaged towers which were at risk of collapse from rainwater after extensive bombardment. According to those involved, Hamas blocked the removal of the “Bank of Palestine Tower” in Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood, reportedly arguing that it would "collapse from the rain anyway." The terrorist group did not show any concern for the civilian lives that would be lost when the tower eventually collapses on its own, because it wants dead Palestinians and news of tragedy to keep Gaza in the news cycle and to gain global sympathy, hoping for more incoming resources and donations for the Strip’s humanitarian and reconstruction needs that it could siphon. Additionally, Hamas has also been accused of obstructing construction projects intended to create safer communities for displaced Gazans in southern Gaza, prioritizing political control over humanitarian relief. This is a reminder that Gaza's suffering is not only a consequence of war. It is also the result of a fascist and ruthless governing power that repeatedly places its own interests above the welfare of the people it claims to represent. The same terror group that helped bring catastrophe upon Gaza continues to obstruct efforts to mitigate its consequences. As floodwaters sweep through displacement camps and families endure another winter in misery, the question is unavoidable: how many Palestinian lives could have been spared had Hamas allowed humanitarian, housing, and reconstruction efforts to proceed unimpeded?

Hamas heavily taxes Gazans at every turn, including displaced families paying to pitch tents on "public land." It has collected more than $500 million from private-sector merchants since last year's ceasefire while providing virtually no public services. If Gaza relies on international aid, why does Hamas heavily tax food and everyday essentials? And if it collects so much revenue, why can't it take basic steps to prepare for winter storms and serve the population?

Werkelijk ALLES stinkt, aan dit Parool-artikel. Bizar.
Een groep "betrokken Nederlanders" regelde een verblijfsvergunning voor Mohamed uit Gaza die met zijn nicht is getrouwd en nu woont hij in het centrum van Amsterdam. Parool stelt geen enkele vraag. Zeer opmerkelijke gang van zaken. archive.ph/oK6dg

"Ook door Joodse wetenschappers". Ze zegt het echt. De @NOS poneert anno 2026 etniciteit als relevant argument in wetenschappelijke bevindingen. Schandelijk.
Er waagt iemand te zeggen dat er géén genocide is in Gaza..dat kan de NOS natuurlijk niet laten passeren zonder erbij te zeggen dat VN en wetenschappers er wél zo instaan als zij. Misschien kan de NOS er volgende keer ook bij vermelden dat die er niet over gaan maar de rechter.

Voor iedereen dit zich nog afvraagt hoe het kon gebeuren dat de nazi’s in 1940-1945 van alle bezette landen in Europa juist in Nederland relatief de meeste Joden naar de vernietigingskampen konden afvoeren. En ook nog in relatieve rust, zonder al teveel weerstand. We waren een makkie voor de nazi’s. In deze indringende repo van @Nieuwsvandedag_ ziet u hoe dat kon. teapawt.net/harmbeertema/status/21…
De NOS en DPG Media kunnen trots zijn, de indoctrinatie werkt. Wat een totale randdebielen. Als 7 oktober iets heeft duidelijk gemaakt dan is het wel dat we het land delen met domme Jodenhatende totaalidioten. Of erger. #nieuwsvandedag

Another bombshell… For decades, I have been saying something most Israelis, and Jews worldwide, refused to believe: The most corrupt institution in Israel is our judicial system, particularly the powerful officials at the top, led by consecutive Attorney Generals. And now, the revelations are becoming impossible to ignore. One of Israel's leading journalists, Amit Segal, has released extraordinary recordings of Boaz Balat, the head of the Israel Police Investigations Division. Israel's top police investigator describes “investigations” allegedly kept in drawers, only to be pulled out when officials need leverage over someone, whether politicians, police officers or even fellow judicial officials. Think about that. This is not some conspiracy theorist speaking. This is one of the most senior law enforcement officials in Israel, someone involved in handling sensitive investigations, including the scandal surrounding the former IDF Military Advocate General, whose case has been buried by the Attorney General for over a year despite the IDF Attorney General admitting to leaking a fabricated libelous video that harmed Israel diplomatically and will remain a stain on the Jewish people forever. For years, people refused to listen. Because who wanted to possibly believe that the very officials entrusted with upholding the law were using the justice system like a mafia, advancing their own ideological agenda, political interests and protecting their own power? Yet that is precisely the disturbing picture these revelations raise. And look at the timing! The Netanyahu corruption trials have faced devastating questions about investigative procedures, including testimony from former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit personally responsible for indicting Netanyahu. He admitted to irregular and potentially unlawful investigative methods to indict Netanyahu despite no actual proof of wrongdoing. Where is the full public scrutiny??? Meanwhile, serious allegations of foreign funding and improper election interference remain unresolved. Instead of demanding complete transparency about what could be one of the gravest election steals in Israeli history, the powerful judicial system and mainstream media are trying to bury it all and move on in their most important task, toppling Netanyahu. And now comes another extraordinary development. The political left, after campaigning fiercely over the ultra-Orthodox draft issue, is exploring arrangements with the very ultra-Orthodox parties it attacked throughout the election campaign. Even more astonishing are reports that legal figures are offering assurances that an ultra-orthodox draft law passed under an Eizenkot/Liberman government would survive judicial review. How can politicians possibly promise what supposedly independent judges will decide? What should be screaming headlines is that If a right-wing government passed a similar law, the Supreme Court would strike it down, and everyone knows it, that’s why the Ultra-Orthodox are considering jumping to join an Eizenkot government. But if a left-led government passes one, suddenly there may be guarantees? This is political blackmail by the judicial system to topple a government. In English that’s called a coup, not “law”. And it helps explain the sudden willingness from the center/left parties to consider political alliances that contradict campaign promises, including arrangements involving anti-Israel Arab parties or the ultra-Orthodox. Because protecting the power and abuse of the existing unelected deep state judicial establishment is more important to some politicians than the principles they promised their voters. This is what I have warned about for decades: An unelected judicial establishment wielding extraordinary power over elected governments, preventing the Israeli Right from implementing the policies its voters elected it to pursue. How do we fix a system when the officials who must be investigated also possess enormous power over the institutions responsible for investigating them? I don't pretend to have a simple answer. But I do know this: Their power ultimately depends on public legitimacy and trust. And every new revelation, every unanswered question, every apparent double standard chips away at that trust. For decades, the mainstream media dismissed these concerns or refused to investigate them seriously. Today, thanks to journalists willing to expose what is happening behind closed doors, more Israelis can examine the evidence themselves. For those of us who have been sounding this alarm for decades, watching these revelations unfold is extraordinary. But this is not about vindication. It is about saving Israeli democracy. A democracy cannot survive when its unelected legal authorities are perceived as political rulers above the law. The truth must come out. Every allegation must be investigated. Every official must be accountable, regardless of position or political affiliation. The Israeli people deserve a justice system that serves the law, not a political agenda. And I believe that, with God's help, we will overcome this as well. The system that was supposed to protect Israeli democracy must never be allowed to rule in its place. Injustice done by the justice system is infuriating, but remember, this is a spiritual war over the soul of the Jewish nation of Israel. Those who believe in God and the destiny of the Jewish people back as sovereign in our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland will prevail. Those trying to turn Israel into another Western democratic nation devoid of Jewish character, being led by the deep state unelected judicial officials, will fail. Strengthen your faith. We will overcome. How? First, by sharing these truths and waking up more people to this reality they have been ignoring. Am Yisrael Chai!!!
