“There is only one member-state in the UN that openly states its wish to destroy another member-state. Iran has declared time and time again that it is interested in the 'total destruction' of the State of Israel. And this building is silent. What are you afraid of? Has there ever been a time in human history where silence stopped violence?”

—Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s address to the UN General Assembly

It's Time to Throw Our Support Behind Iran's Brave Protestors

On Sept. 13, a beautiful 22-year-old Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, was arrested in Tehran and brutally beaten by “morality police” for wearing her hijab “too loosely,” perhaps allowing a few strands of hair to show through. She was overwhelmed by both male and female brutes and thugs, beaten mercilessly, thrown into a van and driven to some unknown place—most probably the notorious Evin prison, where she was undoubtedly raped and tortured.

Next thing we knew, she was in a coma. As I write this three days later, we know she is dead. Her family was told by the Iranian regime that she died of “epilepsy or a heart attack,” medical conditions that apparently emerged out of nowhere. Even if the regime’s claim is true, it is difficult to believe this “epilepsy or a heart attack” was not caused by the brutal blows to the head and body Mahsa received from her attackers.
