12/01 Links Pt2: When journalism becomes the engine of antisemitism; Tuvia Tenenbom: Oscar-Winning ‘No Other Land’ EXPOSED; Joseph Cohen: Islamism Forced Me to Flee Britain

From Ian:

When journalism becomes the engine of antisemitism
Italy is uniquely afflicted. It is the only Western country where a national labor union called a general strike for Palestine. It is the only one where leaders of the far-left Rifondazione Comunista accuse the media of supporting “genocide.” Public spaces are now saturated with Hamas flags and chants that recast Zionism as colonialism, erasing its true meaning as the national rebirth of the only indigenous people who never abandoned Jerusalem.

The attack on La Stampa rightly provokes outrage. But outrage alone is not enough.

According to research by demographer Sergio Della Pergola presented at a major antisemitism conference hosted by CNEL and the Unione delle Comunità Ebraiche Italiane, La Stampa emerged as the Italian newspaper most consistently engaged in anti-Israel propaganda between Oct. 7 and Sept. 19, 2025.

Prominent voices such as Vito Mancuso, Anna Foa, Ilan Pappé and Rula Jebreal shaped a steady narrative of demonization. Despite its historic reputation for moderation, La Stampa has portrayed Israel as violent, punitive and malevolent, while Hamas’s savagery faded into the background of a simplified story of victimhood framed as genocide, apartheid and war crimes.

Della Pergola documented how the historical and political context vanished almost entirely. The Oct. 7, 2023, massacre was swiftly detached from Hamas’s declared goal of destroying Israel and from its systematic use of human shields. Headlines such as “Israel blocks even births,” “Israel tightens the noose,” and repeated claims that massacring civilians is a “standard practice” of the Israeli army became routine.

Editor Andrea Malaguti defended his newsroom with fierce conviction, asserting professional integrity. But professionalism cannot survive when truth is sacrificed to ideology. What happened at La Stampa should serve as a warning to every journalist who believes that a single, morally flattened version of reality can sustain itself without consequences.

Even Mahatma Gandhi, whom the editor cited in self-defense, means nothing to vandals driven by hatred. What must concern us is the collapse of knowledge that has turned young people into instruments of violence, hollowed out their understanding of reality, and produced a moral degeneration fed by ignorance.

Journalism must return to its duty of truth. Not to plant Palestinian flags across Europe. Not to indulge fashionable guilt toward the “Third World,” revolutionary romanticism, jihadist apologetics or antisemitic reflexes. These forces now shape not only the attackers in the streets, but—tragically—the readers formed by years of informational distortion.

The lesson of La Stampa is not only about an attack on a newspaper. It is about the corrosion of conscience that made such an attack imaginable.
Harvard Hires Divinity School Graduate Who Assaulted Israeli Classmate
The Harvard University student who faced criminal charges for assaulting an Israeli classmate during an anti-Israel "die-in" protest, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, has a new job: He is a teaching fellow at… Harvard.

Tettey-Tamaklo, who was removed from his position as a proctor overseeing freshmen in the wake of the incident, began work as a "Graduate Teaching Fellow" at Harvard in August, according to his LinkedIn profile. He says he works to "advise faculty on curriculum design."

Tettey-Tamaklo was the subject of intense scrutiny after he was caught on camera accosting a first-year Israeli business school student at an October 2023 "die-in" protest held outside of Harvard Business School. He was slapped with a misdemeanor assault and battery charge last May and ordered by a Suffolk County judge to take an anger management class and perform 80 hours of community service roughly a year later.

As that legal process played out, the Trump administration demanded Harvard expel Tettey-Tamaklo over the assault. Instead, Harvard hired him. Throughout the ordeal, the school never disciplined Tettey-Tamaklo or his compadre, Ibrahim Bharmal, and refused to cooperate with prosecutors in the case.

Teaching fellows at Harvard are typically paid a minimum salary that ranges from $3,400 to $11,040, according to Harvard's graduate student union. They assist with courses, leading "sections," grading exams, and offering office hours. The positions are generally awarded to Harvard-enrolled graduate students, meaning Tettey-Tamaklo may be pursuing a Ph.D. Tettey-Tamaklo graduated with a master's degree from the divinity school in May, just weeks after he agreed to the pretrial diversion program in his assault case.

It's unclear in which school Tettey-Tamaklo is serving as a teaching fellow; his LinkedIn profile only says the job is a "full-time" and "on-site" position at Harvard. It's also unclear if he's pursuing a Ph.D. at the divinity school.
Khaled Abu Toameh: Why Qatar Should Have No Role in Gaza
The meeting underscores Qatar's apparent eagerness to play a central role in post-war Gaza. As a long-time supporter and funder of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, the Qatari regime's main goal seems to be ensuring that Hamas remains in power in the Gaza Strip. Hamas describes itself as "one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine."

One does not need to be an "expert" to understand that Qatar, despite its attempt to present itself as a neutral mediator between Israel and Hamas over the past two years, continues to be affiliated with the extremist ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Unfortunately, this ideology considers non-Muslims (and Israel) as Enemy No. 1.

In his October 19 column in the Qatari government daily Al-Sharq, Ahmad al-Muhammadi, an imam and preacher in Qatar's Waqf Ministry, explained that the enmity between the Muslims and the Jews and Christians is existential and deeply rooted, and presented Islam as the truth and Christianity and Judaism as falsehood and heresy.

He went on to call on Muslims to beware of slogans of tolerance that are aimed at uprooting belief in Islam, and asserted that Islam is "a religion that neither compromises nor reconciles."

"Qatari Shura Council member Essa Al-Nassr said that October 7 was the beginning of the end of the Zionist state, presenting this as a divine promise mentioned in the Quran. He added that there can be no peace with the Jews, because their faith condones 'deception, the violation of agreements and lies' and they are 'slayers of the prophets.'" — MEMRI, September 15, 2025.

Researcher and political analyst Eitan Fischberger recently uncovered a series of posts in which Majed al-Ansari, advisor to the Qatari prime minister and spokesman for Qatar's Foreign Ministry, openly praised suicide bombings and called for Tel Aviv to burn.

In a recent speech, the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, said that the five Hamas members Israel killed in an airstrike in Doha last September were "our brothers."

Qatari Education Minister Lowlah al-Khater has called Israel and the West an "ugly, racist, and vile civilization" She described Israel and its Western backers as a "mixture of ugliness, entrenched racism, and vile materialistic civilization."


Israel prepares for scenario of huge immigration wave
Israel’s Aliyah and Integration Ministry and National Emergency Authority conducted a strategic exercise on Nov. 27 simulating a scenario in which a massive wave of immigration of Jews takes place in a short period of time.

The exercise comes on the backdrop of growing concerns about the global rise of antisemitism or situations where large Diaspora populations would not receive the protection of local authorities if their countries were to collapse.

The simulation was held at the National College for Israeli Resilience in Ramla in central Israel, and included representatives from government ministries, NGOs and essential organizations that work with the Aliyah and Integration Ministry in routine and emergency situations, the ministry said in a statement.

The exercise practiced the absorption process for tens of thousands of immigrants arriving in Israel at a rate of some 800 people per day.

The ministry’s director general, Avichai Kahana, told Walla News that “The scenario we are practicing today is not apocalyptic or extreme. It’s a scenario that could happen in two months’ time.

“When the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the State of Israel was not prepared to absorb those who arrived—we saw this in every aspect. Therefore, we want to be ready,” he was cited as saying.

He added that Israel is monitoring Jewish communities in the Diaspora, as it was taking this scenario very seriously, which “could happen sooner than we think.”

Kahana laid out two possible scenarios that could lead to massive waves of immigration. The first, he said, would involve a terrorist attack against the Jewish community in a Western country. He noted that in some countries, Israel already has “possible warnings” that in one night, riots will break and Jews will want to pack up and leave immediately, according to Walla News.

The second scenario, Kahana continued, “involves a coup in a certain country, where the authorities can no longer protect the community. We are drilling something in the middle,” he added.

Regarding the evacuation from the country of origin, the ministry stated that the exercise addressed readiness in terms of food, medical care and evacuation routes. One proposed solution involved assistance from Jewish businesspeople, doctors, food companies and pharmaceutical companies.

The simulation presented immediate options for housing: 300 available apartments in absorption centers and 500 more in dedicated housing complexes. These require furnishing and equipment, which the Jewish Agency can supply at a basic level, the ministry said.
Visegrad24: Islamism Forced Me to Flee Britain
Visegrad24 founder Stefan Tompson sits down in Jerusalem to speak with Joseph Cohen about why he decided to finally leave Great Britain after trying to debate Islamist radicals there for more than a decade.

The British-Israeli Jewish activist, YouTuber, and public debater who regularly engaged in apologetics and confrontations with Islamist preachers at London’s Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park.

Speakers’ Corner, a historic open-air forum famous for religious and political debates, has in recent years been taken over by Islamists. Joseph Cohen spent a lot of time there debating Muslim dawah (proselytizing) groups like those led by Mohammed Hijab or Ali Dawah.

In the wake of the October7th Massacre, he was forced to leave the UK as the threat level was simply too high.

Oscar-Winning ‘No Other Land’ EXPOSED - Tuvia Tenenbom Reveals the Truth Hollywood Ignored
Investigative journalist and bestselling author Tuvia Tenenbom sits down with The Quad host Fleur Hassan-Nahoum to discuss his explosive findings about "No Other Land," the documentary that won the Oscar for Best Documentary. After visiting the actual locations featured in the film, Tenenbom discovered significant discrepancies between what the award-winning documentary portrayed and the reality on the ground.


Chief Rabbi: Move to erase Chaim Herzog’s name and history is cruel hammer blow
The Dublin City Council Commemoration Committee’s recommendation to remove the name “Herzog” was given with complete disregard to the neighbouring Jewish schools and the local Jewish community. Apparently, no one thought to consult the children who play in the park every day or the people who see it as a quiet marker of their presence in this city.

This raises a troubling question: what steps, if any, were taken to understand the significance of this park for those connected to it most deeply? What assessment was made of the impact such a motion might have on people already facing growing aggression?

At a moment when Jewish belonging in Ireland is more fragile than it should be, this is an alarming failure.

When decisions with real meaning for a minority group are made without thought or reference to that group, it casts a shadow on the assurances of safety and inclusivity. The Programme for Government 2025 includes a commitment to “fostering Jewish life”, presumably recognising that Jewish life in Ireland now feels less secure than it once did.

Is this what fostering Jewish life looks like? Striking out one of the few public Jewish landmarks in the country and erasing one of the most recognised Irish-Jewish names from view? Is Jewish life and legacy to be determined by others, consigning us to invisibility?

At its core, the debate around Herzog Park is about what kind of city Dublin wants to be. Ireland takes much pride in being inclusive, welcoming and multicultural; a country that embraces diversity and stands up for minorities. Allowing the divisive deletion of a piece of Irish-Jewish heritage from a neighbourhood park would betray those values and embolden those who seek to further marginalise Jewish people in this country.

Despite the hardships of recent times, our community has remained resilient and positive. We will continue to thrive, no matter what. But symbolic acts matter and echo far beyond signage. Keeping the Herzog name on this park would not only honour a central chapter of shared history, it would also affirm something vital: that Jewish heritage, Jewish belonging and Jewish life are still welcome in Dublin.


December 1, 2025 | “What Qatar Says When It Thinks You Aren’t Listening” with Eitan Fischberger
In this week’s Middle East Forum podcast, Lauri Regan hosts Eitan Fischberger for a deep dive into what Qatar really says—and does—when it thinks the West is not paying attention. Fischberger, an Israel-based open-source intelligence analyst who tracks terror networks and foreign disinformation, explains how Qatar presents itself as a trusted U.S. ally and indispensable “mediator” even as it bankrolls Islamist movements and fuels regional instability.

Drawing on recent reporting and data, Fischberger details Qatar’s long-standing financial, political, and media support for Hamas, its strategic partnership with Iran, and its use of Al Jazeera and Al Jazeera Plus to push anti-American, anti-Israel, and decolonial narratives into Western discourse. He highlights Qatar’s massive funding of U.S. universities, its army of lobbyists in Washington, and the ways in which elites, influencers, and journalists are courted—not always with direct payments, but through access, prestige, and privilege.

The conversation also examines Qatar’s cultivation of conservative and populist figures, its pursuit of security guarantees and bases on U.S. soil, and the broader civilizational stakes as Qatari-backed narratives help radicalize Western youth and erode social cohesion from within. Fischberger argues that unless policymakers and the public recognize this duplicity, the United States risks repeating Israel’s mistake of trusting Doha while its proxies prepare the next crisis.

A sobering and urgent discussion of how a small Gulf emirate is working to reshape the West from the inside out.




Mengele lived openly in Argentina for years, declassified archives show
Declassified archival files made public by Argentinian President Javier Milei prove that Josef Mengele, the infamous Nazi concentration camp doctor known as the “Angel of Death,” lived openly in the country after World War II and evaded arrest due to years of official inaction.

The archives, which were first declassified earlier this year and reported on by Fox News on Sunday, show that Buenos Aires knew by the mid- to late 1950s that Mengele had fled to the South American country, having arrived in 1949 using an Italian passport under the name Helmut Gregor.

The archive shows how local authorities “tracked, archived, mishandled and often took no action regarding the information they had about one of the world’s most wanted war criminals,” the Fox News report noted.

By 1956, Mengele began using his real name after having obtained a legalized copy of his original birth certificate from the West German Embassy in Buenos Aires, showing just how safe he felt in Argentina.

Local intelligence had already identified him as the top Nazi criminal by then, tracking his residence and investments, including a partnership in a medical laboratory believed to have been funded by Mengele’s father.

However, an Argentine judge rejected a 1959 West German extradition request, claiming “political persecution.” Further bureaucratic delays and poor coordination across agencies allowed Mengele to escape to Paraguay in early 1960. A secret memo dated July 12 that year shows officials were still searching for Mengele after he had already fled.

The files also outline Mengele’s move to Brazil later in 1960, where Nazi-sympathizing German Brazilian farmers provided safehouses. He lived for years under aliases, including Peter Hochbichler, José Mengele and Wolfgang Gerhardt, before dying of a stroke while swimming in 1979.

His remains were identified by Brazilian authorities in 1985 and confirmed by DNA tests seven years later.

The documents declassified by Milei also contain undated testimony of a Polish-born Argentine citizen, José Furmanski, who was a victim of Mengele, showing that authorities were fully aware of his crimes.
Nazi killer in infamous ‘Last Jew in Vinnitsa’ picture finally identified using AI
The Nazi murderer in a 1941 photograph titled ‘The Last Jew in Vinnitsa’ was finally identified with the help of artificial intelligence and a historical researcher, according to a new publication in September.

Published in the Journal of Historical Studies, researcher Dr. Jürgen Matthäus identified the Nazi as 34-year-old Jakobus Onnen, a teacher from the town of Tichelwarf.

A retired teacher contacted Matthäus to tell him he believed Onnen was the uncle of his wife. “This horrifying image has played a role in our family for decades,” the anonymous educator wrote.

Photos were taken of the Holocaust as “trophy items,” Matthäus said. “It’s like pornography, you show it around.”

Onnen’s living relatives provided Matthäus with photos of him, which AI confirmed was a 99.9% match with the photo of the Nazi killer.

"This is a massive step forward in getting to the historical reality of the Holocaust. These are the moments where - if I can generalize - where historians are really thinking, 'Aha, here I've really pushed the limit of what we know,'" Matthäus told DW.

Onnen died in 1943, without facing trial for his crimes. It is believed he was killed by Soviet partisans. Nothing is known of the fate of the living Jew in the photo nor of the photographer.

Onnen was born to a middle-class family, and his father was an educator. His father’s death in 1924 became a “crucial event” that led to Onnen eventually joining the Nazi Party in 1931. The teacher went on to become a member of the SS in 1932.

While working in the SS, Onnen also took up teaching languages and physical education at the Witzenhausen Colonial School.

Shortly before the Nazi invasion of Poland began, Onnen took up employment in the SS Death’s Head Unit at the Dachau concentration camp and later served as a training officer in Poland before joining Einsatzgruppe C in 1941.
The questions West Midlands Police must answer
There are only two plausible explanations for what West Midlands Police has done. That the force genuinely feared public disorder, but wanted to blame Israelis and Jews – not the Islamist agitators and local thugs who hate Israel and Jews. This seems likely, since the police had to deploy more than 700 officers on the night of the match, even when no Israeli fans were present.

The second explanation is that the police felt political and social pressure from those who want to ban and boycott everything and everybody from Israel. That was the original demand of Ayoub Khan, and of at least two councillors on the Safety Advisory Group.

The truth is almost certainly that both explanations are correct. Why else would fans from Israel be banned from Villa Park, when in recent years fans with a worse track record of hooliganism – Legia Warsaw, Bologna and Young Boys of Bern – have all been allowed to come? In the match against Young Boys played on Thursday, Swiss fans ripped out seats, fought with police officers and threw missiles at Villa players. Despite the history of Young Boys fans, West Midlands Police admitted to Sky News that this game had been assessed only as “medium risk”.

But perhaps the assessment is different for Jews.

West Midlands Police has refused to publish the information it says it holds that justifies its actions, and refused to answer elementary questions from the media. At first, the Chief Constable, Craig Guildford, refused to attend the Home Affairs Select Committee session due this afternoon, but opted to come as the pressure built.
West Midlands Police cited fictitious match in report ahead of Maccabi game
West Midlands Police have admitted to citing a fixture that never happened as part of their intelligence report ahead of Aston Villa’s clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv in Birmingham in November.

The statement came during a three-hour session of the House of Commons’ Home Affairs Select committee which heard testimony from the government’s independent adviser on antisemitism, Lord Mann; Craig Guildford and Mike O’Hara, the chief constable and assistant chief constable at West Midlands Police; policing minister Sarah Jones; and Richard Clarke from the Home Office.

First up, Mann questioned intelligence cited ahead of the fixture by West Midlands Police, whose report said that Maccabi Tel Aviv had played East London team West Ham United on November 9, 2023.

Except, as Mann told the committee, that fixture never happened.

“West Ham had never played Maccabi Tel Aviv. On that day, West Ham played Olympiacos of Greece and beat them one-nil.”

Mann said that what he expected from “a proper police intelligence report is, someone would talk to Metropolitan Police about what happened two years ago when these Maccabi ‘hooligans’, as they're called, came to London. Because, obviously, there'll have been problems. They couldn't do that because the fixture didn’t take place.”

Mann also questioned some of the other figures provided by West Midlands Police ahead of the fixture.

Asked by Liberal Democrat MP Paul Kohler what he made of the intelligence assessment, Mann responded: “It’s inaccurate. It conflates different things.”
Police confirm pro-Gaza MP’s involvement in Maccabi fan ban amid claims of political pressure
The central role played by an MP who campaigned to have Israeli football clubs thrown out of European competitions in the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a game against Aston Villa has been confirmed by police chiefs as they appeared before a parliamentary committee.

Independent MP Ayoub Khan, who led a petition for the Europa League game to be cancelled before switching to supporting a ban on Israeli fans, had telephoned Aston Villa to voice his objection to the match and met with police chiefs ahead of the decision, it was confirmed.

This move led to widespread communal anger and claims that Israel-Jewish fans were being prevented from attending a football match in the city.

Appearing before the Home Affairs Select Committee, West Midlands Police Chief Constable Craig Guildford and Assistant Chief Constable Mike O’Hara appeared to contradict their own earlier claims that there had been “no political pressure” placed upon the force over its decision to bar Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending the game with Aston Villa last month.

Chief Constable Guildford said the WMP’s starting point had been, “this match is being played, both teams are coming, both sets of supporters are coming,” and insisted they felt “no political pressure over making any decision.”


Campus Frontlines: Professors and Students Continue to Fuel Antisemitism
Antisemitic Academia
The top global universities are expected to train students to become the next leaders in society. That requires complex courses to be taught with accuracy and objectivity.

This is not the case at Princeton, however. One course, entitled Gender, Reproduction, and Genocide, is scheduled for the spring 2025-2026 semester. Taught by Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, the course is said to explore “genocide through the analytic of gender” and specifically will focus on the “ongoing genocide in Gaza.”

In the course, students will “engage reproductive justice frameworks,” suggesting that Israel is committing genocide by deliberately targeting institutions that would prevent women from becoming pregnant. However, this claim, spread by the UN, has no factual basis.

The UN report relies on a 2024 ABC News story that claimed an IDF shell was deliberately fired at an IVF clinic in December 2023, allegedly destroying more than 4,000 embryos with the intention to “prevent births.” But even ABC News and its sole source, who was not present at the time, could not verify that an IDF shell caused the damage. In fact, a wide-angle photo of the scene shows a nearby high-rise building visibly damaged, while the IVF clinic itself appears fully intact.

If the course’s entire framework being held up by falsified information wasn’t enough, it also seeks to compare the history of the “genocide” in Gaza to other genocides, including the Holocaust. There is no lack of moral clarity more evident than flattening the Holocaust into a political talking point. No comparison can be made between a war of defense and the industrialization of murder that the Nazis waged against the Jewish people.

Yet, this vile comparison does not come as much of a surprise, considering the professor herself has, in the past, denied the murder and assault of Jews. For a course that bases itself on feminism and reproductive frameworks to be taught by a professor who has accused Israel of lying about the rapes and murder of babies on October 7 is not only profoundly immoral, but also an outright betrayal of the feminist standards she supposedly upholds.

Antisemitism from faculty is not limited to academic courses. A Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter at University College London hosted Samar Maqusi as part of a series titled “Palestine: From Existence to Resistance.” Although the lecture was advertised as a discussion on the origins of Zionism, Maqusi instead promoted classic antisemitic tropes, including that Jews require the blood of gentiles for making their “special pancakes,” referring to a medieval blood libel in which Jews use the blood of gentiles for making matzah.

Unfortunately, many discussions of Zionism on university campuses come from those with hostile and thus inaccurate beliefs on what it truly means to be a Zionist. Even in an interfaith discussion at the City College of New York, a Hillel director was told he was “responsible for the murder” of Gazans and caused “disgust” in other participants because he was a Zionist. Activist and student groups further condemned the interfaith discussion. Not in favor of defending the Hillel director whose sole wrongdoing was being a Jew, but because interfaith efforts were causing the “normalization of Zionism.”

In warping the definitions to fit the narrative of the speaker or lecturer, lectures and campus spaces have become breeding grounds for bias and thinly veiled antisemitism.
Arkansas Professor Under Fire for Praising Khamenei, Defending IRGC
Dr. Shirin Saeidi, an associate professor of political science and director of the King Fahd Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Arkansas, has come under intense scrutiny following a series of social media posts in late November 2025 allegedly expressing support for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and opposing the U.S. designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.

The controversy escalated when Iranian-Americans and activists began circulating Saeidi’s statements on social media, prompting calls for her dismissal and investigations into potential violations of university policy. According to Benjamin Weinthal, a journalist who covers Iran for Fox News Digital, the University of Arkansas told him that Saeidi improperly used university letterhead in connection with support for Hamid Nouri, a convicted Iranian regime war criminal.

Controversial Social Media Activity
In posts shared on X (formerly Twitter) in late November, Saeidi defended the IRGC, praised Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and offered prayers for his protection. In a November 27 post, Saeidi wrote: “The leader who kept Iran intact during the Israeli attack, May god protect you.”

In another post the same day, she defended the IRGC and criticized its designation as a terrorist entity, writing: “We should have spoken up sooner—when the IRGC was placed on a terrorist list, when Hamid Nouri was kidnapped based on lies in memoirs.”

Kasra Aarabi, Director of IRGC Research at United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), commented: “Nothing unusual here—just a lecturer at a U.S. university “speaking up” for the most antisemitic armed Islamist group in the world, which also happens to be a U.S.-designated terrorist org. No wonder Western universities have become engines of indoctrination and extremism.”


Iran arrests seven staff members of popular TV show over alleged ‘immorality’
Iran arrested Ali Sabouri, the host and producer of the chat show ‘Midnight, along with several other production staff, alleging the broadcast had aired “immoral” content, according to Iranian media reports from earlier this week.

Sabouri initially denied his arrest, according to BBC Farsi, but reports from Monday indicate he is out on bail. His staff also released a video apologizing for the "immoral sequences of the program."

The episode that saw Sabouri’s crew in legal trouble with the regime authorities was set in cyberspace, a sphere that has become particularly touchy since the Iran war, according to dissident media reports.

'Immoral' content sees Iranian hosts arrested
Parts of this program included double-edged jokes, unconventional speech, and behavior outside of public etiquette, according to Shargh Daily.

The Judiciary News Agency called the program's content "contrary to moral and social issues" and confimed the arrest of seven staff members.

The judiciary’s official outlet, Mizan Online, accused the program of broadcasting "content that violates moral and social norms in order to be seen."

“After filing a legal case against the mentioned elements and stopping the mentioned program, the investigator of the case released some of the elements by issuing appropriate bail until the case is heard in court, but some other elements are still in detention,” the outlet confirmed.


Twisted Welsh loner was able to spread horrific hatred around the world after going 'full Nazi'
Morgan advanced conspiracy theories that Jews are responsible for global economic instability and New York's 9/11 terrorism attack. He also blamed black people for rising crime rates and claimed white people are being "eradicated".

The nine tweets that landed him in Cardiff Crown Court were posted in September and October of last year. They included an image of a hazmat-suited figure with a Nazi armband spraying gas towards a caricature of a Jewish man, and one of a black man being visited in prison by a child portrayed as a baby monkey.

One image showed banknotes moving towards an oven, captioned: "Only antisemites understand this photo." Others showed a man urinating on a menorah (a Jewish candelabrum), a train track heading into a gas chamber, a monopoly board implying all black people should be in prison, and Holocaust victim Anne Frank saying: "Gas me outside."

Morgan was reported to police by Caroline Ost, a Jewish user of X, who said she had become aware of Morgan after his online activity won glowing praise from another "Jew hater" on the social media platform.owing him to profit from racist posts that got a high number of views.
Two minors, one a Russian, held in Paris over antisemitic plot
Two minors, one of them a Russian national, have been placed in custody in Paris on suspicion of plotting an antisemitic attack, according to judicial and press sources.

The Russian, a Chechen 16-year-old who came to France with his mother four years ago, had sent a photo on WhatsApp of himself holding a knife and announced that he was “going to kill Jews in five days,” Le Parisien newspaper reported.

He was in contact with the other 16-year-old, who lived in the Paris region, and threatened to target a site of religious worship, the newspaper added. The second teen was described as coming from a family with “a Muslim background.”

Confirming the press reports, France’s national anti-terror prosecutor’s office told AFP on Monday that the pair had been charged with “participation in a terrorist criminal association with the aim of preparing one or more crimes against persons.”

Le Parisien cited an investigation source as saying they adhered to the ideology of the Islamic State terror group.

France has charged 20 minors for terrorism-related offenses in 2025 so far, with prosecutors pointing to an uptick in young people being indicted for such plots over the past five years.


Israeli delegation heads to Germany for Arrow 3 handover ceremony
An Israeli defense delegation led by Ministry of Defense Director General Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram departed Monday to attend a ceremony marking the operational capability handover of the Arrow 3 missile-defense system to the German Air Force.

The event represents the first operational delivery under the landmark defense agreement signed more than two years ago. At an estimated value of $3.5 billion, the deal is the largest of its kind in Israel’s history.

The Arrow 3 system is jointly developed and produced by the IMOD’s DDR&D and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA). Credit: Israel Ministry of Defense.

Joining Baram are Brig. Gen. (res.) Daniel Gold, head of the Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D); Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) CEO Boaz Levy; Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) Director Moshe Patel; and additional senior officials.

Arrow 3 is the upper-tier layer of Israel’s missile-defense program, designed to intercept ballistic missiles during the exoatmospheric portion of their trajectory, at altitudes above 100 kilometers (62 miles). It became operational in Israel on Jan. 18, 2017.

On Sept. 28, 2023, then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant signed the agreement in Berlin to provide Israel’s Arrow 3 with the first missile battery, including radar, launch and interception management systems, to be supplied to the Germans by the fourth quarter of 2025.

In June, German lawmakers approved advanced payments of up to €560 million ($606 million) for the system.

Germany is the first foreign purchaser of the system.


Israel wins seven medals at Abu Dhabi kickboxing World Championships
The Israeli kickboxing delegation enjoyed a strong showing at the World Championships in Abu Dhabi, returning home with seven medals at the conclusion of the competition. This year’s event featured around 2,000 athletes from approximately 85 countries.

Yulia Sachkov (52 kg) led the Israeli contingent with a gold medal after defeating her Czech opponent in the final, capping an exceptional year in which the 26-year-old also won the European Championship and triumphed at the World Games. Osayd Gouda (75 kg), the reigning World Games champion, sustained an injury to his right hand during the tournament but continued to compete, reaching the final and earning silver after falling to a Spanish fighter.

Yosef Aybezli also delivered an impressive performance, advancing to the final against an opponent from Azerbaijan and securing a silver medal. Additional podium finishes came from Polina Grossman (72 kg), a World Games silver medalist who placed third, as well as from Osid Khatib (67 kg), Guy Hajaj (73.5 kg), and Rana Matanes (60 kg), each of whom claimed bronze.

Arik Kaplan, president of the AYELET Federation for non-Olympic sports, praised the team’s efforts.

“An excellent championship for our athletes. Everyone arrived prepared, invested tremendous effort, and delivered impressive results. Kudos to the coaches for their outstanding work. We have finished an excellent year for the sport, we are proud of them, and we will continue moving forward.”
