Hard to believe there’s any news that would even chance living in Iran. WTF
Why are 8000 Jews still in Iran?
No one should be executed for what this young man did. He has the misfortune of living in a country that likes to execute people.
IHR says it has tallied at least 223 executions this year, with at least 50 so far in May. A new surge began following the end of the Persian New Year and Ramadan holidays in April, with 115 people, including six women, hanged since then, it said.
Iran carries out more recorded executions of women than any other country. Activists say many such convicts are victims of forced or abusive marriages.
Iran last year carried out more hangings than in any year since 2015, according to nongovernmental organizations, which accuse the Islamic Republic of using capital punishment to instill fear in the wake of protests that erupted in autumn 2022.
"The silence of the international community is unacceptable," IHR director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam told AFP.
"Those executed belong to the poor and marginalized groups of Iranian society and didn't have fair trials with due process," he said.
It is an Israeli production so most of the dialog is in Hebrew and Farsi so you'll likely need to read the subtitles.
The interesting thing were the two societies of regular Iranians and the children of the wealthy and powerful who wear Western clothes, drive exotic sports cars, and consume drugs and alcohol.
There's two seasons out. Season 3 has been filmed and edited but Apple is sitting on it until the war in Gaza is over.
Arvin Ghahremani, 20, was working out at the gym in the Iranian city of Kermanshah, about 500 miles outside of Tehran, in November 2022 when he was ambushed by seven men, one of whom was a 40-year-old man who owed him money, said Rabbi Danny Yiftach, who translated Iranian court documents for The Post.
It’s their culture and Western governments are being paid to import it.
One of the motivations behind the deviant Idi Amin’s abduction of Israelis in Entebbe was to reinforce that Jews are never safe anywhere. Because of the existence of Israel, there was one——one——country that sent a rescue team. Netanyahu’s brother Yonatan “Yoni” was part of the elite team and was killed.
I have to admit, however, setting up daily life in Iran is a dangerous proposition for the roughly 8,500 Jews in Iran (was 9,826 in 2016). May God protect them.
Well, the moral of the story
The moral of this song
Is simply that one should never be
Where one does not belong
