The hatred of extreme left-wing agitators and parts of the left-liberal elite in politics and the media against our Jewish compatriots and the State of Israel since the barbaric massacre of innocent civilians on October 7, 2023, has directly fueled anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews.

It started immediately after October 7 with inflammatory demonstrations of millions of people with false flags and slogans in many European capitals, including many non-Western immigrants, who thereby demonstrated that they do not share any of our values ​​and do not belong here. Then followed the betrayal at universities and in parts of our media and politics. Both nationally and internationally, from the [Netherlands] House of Representatives to the EU and UN, as well as in newspapers and on TV. Every day again. There are now even police officers who refuse to protect Jewish objects and instead of being fired on the spot, their cowardly police chiefs show understanding.

Since the tragedy of October 7, 2023, many films, books and other forms of artistic expression have sought to depict the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists and other Palestinian organizations on that day.

According to numerous reviews, among the documentaries that have covered the event, Pierre Rehov's documentary, Pogrom(s), stands out for its factual and historical approach to the tragedy.

Having made documentaries on Middle Eastern conflicts for over 20 years, and specializing in terrorism, Pierre Rehov has chosen to reconstruct the massacre through the eyes of the first responders, and to call on political analysts and historians to re-establish the true context of this attempted genocide.

* [O]ne thing is certain: his [Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's] 30-year-long policy of using costly proxies to keep war away from Iran has failed. Now he may be forced into doing his own fighting.
* Depending on how far this goes, Khamenei's latest move could put the very fate of his regime in the bargain.
* Those who have turned real or imagined victimhood into the sole criterion for dispensing fake sympathy want Israel to call it a day and settle for a ceasefire even if the "other sides", that is to say the five H groups... don't give up their declared goal of "wiping the Zionist entity" off the map.
* Even an intervention by a deus ex-machina prop cannot lead the action into a fishtail of uncertainty. Just as a tragedy that does not complete its full course isn't a tragedy, and risks morphing into black comedy, a war that is not allowed to do what a war is designed to do, that is to say create clear winners and losers, would be a carnivalesque waste of blood and treasure.
* The wise men of the New York Times claim that the revival of the Obama "nuclear deal" with Tehran would do the trick, thus implicitly holding the Iranian mullahs responsible for the current wars. The subtext is: surrender to Tehran so that it orders its five "H" hounds to return to their niches.
* Since World War II, we have witnessed dozens of wars, big and small; all of which ended when war did what it is supposed to do -- that is to say, decide who won and who lost, thus allowing the emergence of a new status quo capable of offering stability if not everlasting peace.
* Wrecking the furniture in universities and burning the Israeli and American flags may produce feel-good moments, but are unlikely to pave the way to peace.
* [M]ay I suggest that Netanyahu put his phone on silent for all those who hope to second-guess him on the course he has adopted, which is to let the current war to determine clear winners and losers?

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's 30-year-long policy of using costly proxies to keep war away from Iran has failed. Now he may be forced into doing his own fighting.

Although the war, or in fact wars, triggered against Israel by Hamas are far from over, global punditry is already regimented in a cacophonic chorus to tell the protagonists what to do and what not to do.

In fact, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's decision to try and save face by firing missiles at Israel could expand rather than shrink a battlefield that covers a large chunk of the Middle East down to Yemen.

It is too early to decide whether the ayatollah has walked into a trap set to force him into a direct clash with Israel, something he manifestly tried to avoid. But one thing is certain: his 30-year-long policy of using costly proxies to keep war away from Iran has failed. Now he may be forced into doing his own fighting.

Depending on how far this goes, Khamenei's latest move could put the very fate of his regime in the bargain.
