Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett posted a video message on X on Monday addressed to protesters in Iran, saying they deserve a better future and that the free world stands with them.

​“The Iranian people have a glorious past, and they can have an even more glorious future. That future depends on every one of you."

"So to all the brave men and women now rising up across your country, all the nations of the free world stand with you in your just struggle. Change is possible; there will be a better Middle East,” Bennett said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

We keep telling them to rise up.

Every administration does this in the US (this is Israel of course).

Then the protestors get rounded up and punished, horribly, or even killed.

Unless we’re willing to offer some sort of protection to these people, we shouldn’t do this.

Without weapons or outside help, there is little they can do. What will happen, and is already happening, is that they will be massacred, and then there will be peace for everyone.

This is the most important Revolution since the American Revolution. Never before in history has an Islamic nation freed itself of Islam. This could be the spark that finally brings an end to 14 centuries of conquest and colonization by Islamic dogma.

Be careful not to become the NaftaliFan of Israel…

Too much of anyone thing tends to, ah, “limit” your impact.

Just a thought …

Overcompensating because of intense Netanyahu bias on the site and some are against Israel simply for lumping the country with him as one in the same.

Everyone is fallible. Trump disappoints sometimes - but thank God he won!

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are Naftali fans…it’s the non-Jews in the admin who prefer Bibi.

Spain didn’t free itself. Outside forces did.
