Ireland has joined 10 other European countries calling for Israel to halt demolitions of the headquarters belonging to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in east Jerusalem by Israeli authorities. Earlier this month, Israeli bulldozers began demolishing the compound, having effectively banned the organization from operating in the country in January 2026. The joint letter was signed by Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee and the foreign ministers of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Spain and the UK. It described the demolition as an unprecedented act which marked the “latest unacceptable move” to undermine a UN...

Meanwhile, amid the escalating rhetoric, we have been speaking to a doctor inside Iran who reveals that injured demonstrators were being executed in their hospital beds while seeking treatment. They've told us how security forces, including the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, entered hospitals and killed patients as they lay wounded and defenceless.

A collection of far-left groups — led by a Communist activist network tied to CCP-linked millionaire Marxist Neville Roy Singham — is attempting to organize a nationwide anti-ICE school and business shutdown, with anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour declaring that “we will bring this country to a halt.” The general strike effort, scheduled for this Friday, is an attempt to replicate a Minnesota-wide anti-ICE shutdown which occurred last Friday and which was organized by many of the same far-left groups — but now with designs to do so on a national scale. The planned “National Shutdown” announced early this week includes...

Police lashed a woman and her lover 140 times each for having sex outside marriage and drinking alcohol in a far-flung region of Indonesia on Thursday — one of the harshest punishments carried out in 25 years. The brutal beating — with a rattan cane — caused the woman to sob and collapse in the region of Aceh, which is governed by strict Islamic laws. The lovers were caned on their back in a public flogging. It is among the harshest sentences imposed since Sharia law was implemented in Aceh in 2001, the Agence France-Presse reported.

NEW YORK, NY — The woman behind YouTube's most popular and beloved educational content for children found herself in hot water, as Ms. Rachel issued a public apology for accidentally spray-painting "GO AWAY JEWS" on a synagogue. The internet personality was embroiled in controversy after witnesses reported seeing her run angrily up to a local synagogue and spray-paint the antisemitic message on the wall of the building, an act she later said was completely unintentional. "It was never my intent to do something hateful," Ms. Rachel said in a tearful video posted to social media. "When I spray-painted that antisemitic...

As the Russian president noted, the warming peak is now behind us and cooling will follow nextMOSCOW, January 23. /TASS/. President Vladimir Putin of Russia said his country will explore the Arctic regardless of global climate trends. "Experts differ on how the climate situation will change on the planet and in the Arctic further down the road - and on whether we are actually facing global warming or, as some believe, the warming peak is now behind us and cooling will follow next," the Russian head of state said at a meeting with students of Moscow Institute of Physics and...

| WATCH. Can Ms. Rachel get any more pathetic? We all know she hates Israel and Jews. She should just stop pretending. Popular children's entertainer Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, is once again at the center of controversy after admitting to accidentally "liking" an antisemitic comment on her Instagram page. The 43-year-old YouTube star, known for her educational "Songs for Littles" channel with over 11 million subscribers, broke down in an emotional video apology, claiming the mishap occurred while trying to delete the hateful remark. The comment in question, "Free America from the Jews," was posted...

At least 47% of executions carried out in Iran in 2025 had been related to drug offences, the UN human rights office said.Iran appears to be using executions "as a tool of state intimidation," the United Nations said on Monday, as it denounced a jump in capital punishment globally in 2025. The Islamic republic reportedly executed 1,500 people last year, UN rights chief Volker Türk said in a statement. "The scale and pace of executions suggest a systematic use of capital punishment as a tool of state intimidation, with disproportionate impact on ethnic minorities and migrants," he warned. The...

As part of his strategy for isolating the radical mullah-ruled government of Iran in the world community, President Trump has announced plans to issue a 25% tariff against all countries that continue to do business with the current Iranian regime. This is a counterproductive approach for three reasons. First, and most immediately, this kind of threat hurts the Administration’s case in defending its program of IEEPA tariffs, the country-by-country process of negotiating trade deals based on the “reciprocal tariff” approach that the President came up with in 2025. As revolutionary and unanticipated as that idea was, it has produced a...

Fading tyranny's losing game plan is no match for the anger of the recently released oppressed. The Iranian people have embraced the concept we only stick on our car bumpers. They are facing death daily to live free. The Iranian People have already won.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to TCTV. This is your global news channel, Amaya Tusi and we have some breaking news coming from London. Absolute chaotic scenes outside the Islamic Republic of Iran's embassy as the London Metropolitan Police have started the uh extremely harsh crackdown on the anti-IRGC protesters. Something that we've never seen against the pro Palestinian side in London before. But things are kicking off.

Iran is once again on fire. For the better part of the last month, Iranians have been taking to the streets in large numbers to demand change. The proximate cause for the protests was spiraling inflation, but as the crowds grew, Iranians clamored for the end of the Islamic regime. Despite the avalanche of speculation, no one knows what will happen in Iran. That is the nature of popular uprisings, they are unpredictable. To many analysts, journalists, pundits, and academics, this round of protests feels different from previous ones in 2009, 2017, 2019, and 2022—and maybe they are. Or maybe...

The Mount Dora Police Department responded to First Presbyterian Church of Mount Dora on Jan. 12 regarding a possible burglary. In a search, officers found several racially offensive comments were written in marker inside multiple classrooms, the police department said. The church said the break-in and vandalism occurred over the weekend at the church's preschool, the pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Mount Dora told FOX 35 in a statement. Since then, the school was closed for a day during the investigation and clean-up, the pastor said.

As usual the local Kommunists in our sainted "town" are promulgating this nonsense "protest".

Since October 7, 2023, a new political reality has taken hold in Europe and the United States – the emergence of a large, sustained anti-Israel protest movement joined by organized factions of the radical left and, in some cases, elected officials. The movement calls itself “pro-Palestinian,” and the mass media accept the label, though it dramatically understates the ideology and objectives of the headline-making protesters. Some pundits – and politicians – prefer a different description: “critics of Israel.” All of which is as grotesquely misleading as referring to Nazis as pro-German critics of Jews or Klansmen as pro-white critics of...

The Iranian rial has effectively collapsed, plummeting to an unprecedented low of more than 1.47 million per US dollar on unofficial markets this week. The currency crash has triggered a wave of nationwide 'revolutionary' protests, as the cost of basic survival spirals out of reach for millions of Iranians. On Monday, 12 January 2026, the dollar was quoted as high as 1.47 million rials in the 'free market' of Tehran, marking a catastrophic decline from 2025 levels. For comparison, the rial traded at roughly 70 to the dollar during the 1979 revolution; it has now lost approximately 20,000 times its...

"Donald Trump is an arrogant man who will be overthrown, and is attacking the Islamic Nation, Persian piped in "sieg heil" in Farsi. It's a short. There are subtitles.

Not the Bee has been summoned. If you handed this in as a plot in a script, the studio would send it back because it just feels too unbelievable.

Gardaí, the Irish police, have opened a hate crime investigation after antisemitic graffiti, including swastikas and the words “Jew” and “rat,” was sprayed on roads in Co Louth, the Irish Times reports. Holocaust Awareness Ireland condemned the incident, saying the graffiti “repeats one of the most disturbing antisemitic caricatures deployed by Nazis in pre-war Germany.” In a statement, the Garda confirmed it had received a report of criminal damage and is treating the case as a hate crime. It urged anyone with information to come forward. .....
