Iranian Women Martyred for Liberty


In the fall and winter of 2019, the Iranian people once again took to the streets, demanding their Liberty and Freedom from the repressive Iranian regime.  Their brave defiance of this evil regime has come with a heavy price.  The National Council of Resistance in Iran reported that during the recent uprising, over 450 Iranian protesters were slain by Iranian security forces.  One such victim was Nikta Esfandani, a 14-year-old girl who was shot in the head by security forces while she was demonstrating for the liberty of her people (Link to Article).


Mary Mohammadi: Imprisoned Iranian Christian Convert
Unfortunately, those protesters who courageously gave their lives for the cause of liberty are not the only ones who suffer for their courage.  Throughout the country thousands of protesters and dissidents were rounded up by Iranian security police and sent to prison.  Among the victims was 21-year-old Mary Mohammadi, an Iranian convert to Christianity.  Open Doors reported that Mary, who was arrested by the regime on Jan. 12, 2020, is now being held with 2,000 other women prisoners in the overcrowded Qarchak Prison.  Political Prisoners are often held here and forced to live under horrific conditions.  A year earlier, the Human Rights Activists News Agency published a detailed report ranking Qarchak as one of the worst prisons in Iran.  Human rights activists reported that since her incarceration Mary has been denied food for up to 24 hours on multiple occasions and has been beaten and sexually harassed by a number of male guards (Link to Article).

Iranian Activist Masih Alinejad with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

 This is what the Iranian people have to endure under this tyranny.  However, many of these activists are not surprised by the persecution that they endure.  They expect it, and they're prepared to stand in defiance of it.  It's the indifference from the West that astounds them.  Iranian women's rights activist Masih Alinejad has openly condemned Western leaders and Leftists Feminists who have responded to the oppression of Iranian women with indifference and compliance (Link to Article).  As it stands, Amnesty International has reported that Masih's family members in Iran have been subject to ongoing harassment and arrests by the Iranian regime due to Masih's refusal to be silent on their tyranny.  Dr. King once stated that "There comes a time when Silence is Betrayal."  It seems to me that the silence of the West is a reflection of Dr. King's words.  For too long the Iranian people have been alone in this fight.  It's time for the West to stop being silent, and to stand beside them in their fight for Liberty and Freedom.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
