Condemn the rising Antisemitic violence in Canada, & those who justify it. Antisemitism is the canary in the mineshaft of global evil. A society that allows for students to be bullied & brutalized for being Jewish, allows for its democratic principles & moral fiber to be eroded.

We cannot be silent. 20 year old Jewish Iranian Arvin Netanel is scheduled to be executed by the Islamic Republic of Iran imminently. Why? Because he loaned money to a Muslim who then refused to give it back. When Arvin confronted him, the boy tried to stab him with a knife.

The apartheid Islamic regime in Iran, backed by China and Russia, threatens global security by spreading extremist Shia ideologies and undermining Western democracies. The West must unite to counter this authoritarian coalition or as we call it the “Axis Of Evil.”My friend

If you want to know how the Islamic Republic’s cyber army fuels smear campaigns against dissidents, look at this image. The IRI exploits its own impopularity against its opponents by identifying them as its affiliates. It does it under the guise of the opposition. Masih Alinejad 🏳️

Condemn the rejection of Vladimir Kara-Murza's appeal by a Putin-controlled court. The Russian democratic opposition leader continues languishing in a gulag for opposing the illegal and unjustified war against Ukraine.

He must be released immediately.
