Iranian Security Forces Attack Demonstrators in Isfahan

Iran is a police state.  Everyday dissidents are arrested, imprisoned, or simply "disappear."  Speaking out against the regime could mean the end of you.  However, this does not stop courageous Iranians from standing up and speaking out.  Having endured over 40 years of dictatorship and repression, the people yearn for their freedom, but the Security Forces seek to deny the people this people.  



For nearly two weeks, demonstrators in the Iranian city of Isfahan gathered in protest of the nations growing water shortage, a shortage blamed by many on government mismanagement.  Initially, the government tolerated this, but then the inevitable crackdown happened.  Security Forces stormed into the demonstrators, beating many with riot clubs, firing tear gas, and setting their tents on fire.  Sixty-seven demonstrators were arrested and many more injured.  As they were attacked, demonstrators screamed "Shame on you," "Death to the Dictator," "Death to Khameni!"   

This is but one of many demonstrations in Iran that ended in tragedy, but it should also serve as a wake-up call to the West.  The West must become aware that the Iranian people despise their regime and they want it gone.  The West needs to stand beside the Iranian people, show them that we have no fight with them, and that we will support them in their struggle against the regime.

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

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
