The Leader and the showman

Israel faces deep-rooted issues related to sexual abuse, manipulation, and the exploitation of women for political and intelligence objectives. Recent high-profile scandals, including allegations of sexual abuse within the family of Minister Orit Strook, underscore a broader pattern of protecting known or accused sexual predators who have sought refuge in the regime. Historically, Israel has utilized women in covert operations such as honeytrap missions, with origins traced back to biblical lore, revealing a troubling side of its security practices. These realities challenge Israel's image as a liberal democracy and expose a darker, more complex truth about gendered abuse and manipulation within its institutions.

Shani Cooper Zubida is an Israeli element involved in intelligence operations masked by diplomatic activities. She is connected to a group of soldiers known as the "Moses soldiers," responsible for creating fear and committing violence against Jews globally. Cooper's extensive diplomatic career includes training Ghana's Special Forces and securing Israel's observer status in the African Union. Cooper's actions prioritize intelligence objectives over genuine development in Africa. Her activities have remained obscure since Cooper's return from Ghana in 2021.

Martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani is one of Iranian history's most influential military figures. From 1998 until his assassination by the United States in 2020, he was the commander of the Quds Force, a special unit within the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), which primarily focuses on extraterritorial operations. The legendary general was instrumental in coordinating military support for various resistance groups in the region in the face of Israeli occupation, American hegemony and terrorist threats. Under his leadership, the Quds Force became known for its strategic acumen and ability, often countering US and allied interventions in the West Asia region. General Soleimani's expertise in unconventional warfare and intelligence operations made him a formidable opponent, earning him both respect and fear among his adversaries.

A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect on November 27 just hours after US President Joe Biden announced a proposal to end the "devastating" conflict, which promised to stop nearly 14 months of cross-border fighting. The Israeli regime has exhausted its strategies against Hezbollah and the broader Axis of Resistance, ultimately leading to its reluctant acceptance of a ceasefire. This shift not only reflects Israel's military failures but also signals a potential turning point in the ongoing struggle for justice and resistance in the region.

A brave and steadfast fighter, Yahya Sinwar sacrificed his life to the Palestinian cause, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with resistance fighters against Israeli forces. He has further united the Resistance Movement. His assassination will certainly serve as a powerful inspiration for the ongoing struggle for resistance and liberation.

On September 27, the killer regime of Israel assassinated Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, a steadfast pillar of the Axis of Resistance, in a psychopathic airstrike on the southern suburbs of Beirut. The brutal attack struck the Haret Hreik neighborhood, Hezbollah's primary stronghold, resulting in the destruction of numerous residential buildings and leaving hundreds of innocent civilians, including children, feared dead.

On the last day of July, a critical event occurred in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli regime assassinated the Chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau, marking a shocking act of terror designed to undermine the group. Yet, in a swift response that would reveal the miscalculations of Tel Aviv, Hamas appointed its Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar as the new political chief at-large, succeeding Martyr Ismail Haniyeh.

The ongoing conflict in Gaza, marked by profound human suffering and widespread destruction, has elicited international concern and condemnation. By September 3, the situation tragically persisted for 333 days, a figure that resonates with profound symbolism. The number 333, often associated with themes of immediacy and urgency in various cultural contexts, compels a critical examination of the implications of prolonged violence and the dire humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region. While the term genocide is often used to describe Israel's actions in Gaza, it may not fully encompass the various forms of destruction occurring at the hands of Israeli forces. In addition to genocide, there have urbicide, domicide, politicide, ecocide, educide and scholasticide and culturcide.

In the heart of Tehran, amidst the fervor of political celebrations, a shocking event unfolded that would reverberate across the region and beyond. The residence location of Ismail Haniyeh was targeted, and the head of the political bureau of Hamas and one of his guards was assassinated after their residence in Tehran was hit. But who was Ismail Haniyeh, and what role did he play in the resistance of the Palestinian nation against the Israeli occupation?

In a world where war persists as a stark reality, the principles of humanity and the laws of war must guide our actions. The Geneva Conventions, crafted in the wake of World War II, represent an enduring commitment to protest those not engaged in hostilities, civilians, the wounded, and prisoners of war. However, the ongoing genocide in Palestine serves as a painful reminder that without genuine engagement from the international community, these conventions exist only as words on paper, failing to alleviate the suffering of a nation languishing under the weight of prolonged occupation.

Imam Khomeini's support for Palestine can be traced back to his early years as a religious scholar.

The recent presidential election in Iran has garnered significant attention globally, with the victory of Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian over his rival Dr. Saeed Jalili.

As the Israeli military advances southward, it leaves behind a trail of relentless destruction of agricultural lands and essential infrastructure.

On Wednesday, May 15, Palestinians marked the 76th anniversary of their mass expulsion from their lands, now known as the Occupied Territories. This event, known as the "Nakba" in Arabic, meaning "catastrophe," saw approximately 700,000 Palestinians, the majority of the pre-war population, forced to flee or being driven from their homes before and during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that followed the illegal establishment of Israel.

The tragic event claimed the lives of Iranian President Ayatollah Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi and all passengers onboard including his esteemed Foreign Minister, Dr. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
