FLASH BACK

.The next link revisits the Iranian Green Movement  protest I covered  in 2009 [with pictures and videos.] So little has changed.

[https://thesilentmajoritynomore.com/2009/07/25/iranian-factions-in-times-square-7-25-09/]

The Green Movement  occurred in the weeks following the highly contested June 12, 2009 presidential election, in which incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the victor.

The official results sparked massive, non-violent demonstrations across Iran as supporters of opposition candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi claimed the election was rigged.

The movement adopted the color green, and the government responded with widespread arrests, violence, and heavy suppression of dissent. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Back To the Future

In 2026, the situations of the two prominent Iranian reformist and Green Movement leaders diverge following their 15-year incarceration. [1, 2]

• Mehdi Karroubi: Karroubi’s 15-year house arrest was officially lifted. He has made public statements challenging Iran's current leadership and continues to advocate for the release of other political prisoners. [1, 2]

• Mir-Hossein Mousavi: Despite negotiations for their joint release, Mousavi and his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, have remained under house arrest. Mousavi made headlines in early 2026 for strongly condemning the Iranian government's crackdown on protesters. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

++The 40 years WAR++ going on 47 ++

The Iranian People's Revolution has been ongoing since 1979..... anti-government demonstrations began in October 1977, developing into a campaign of civil resistance that included communists, socialists, and Islamists

In addition to declaring the destruction of Israel as a core objective,^[35][36]post-revolutionary Iran aimed to undermine the influence of Sunni leaders in the region by supporting Shi'ite political ascendancy and exporting Khomeinist doctrines abroad.^[37] ... seeking to establish an Iranian-led Shia political order in the Middle East.^[38]

The Islamic Revolution of 1979.

[https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/carterthe-president-who-betrayed-shah-to-khomeini/]

The revolution caused a drastic change in the Iranian culture. Iran was no longer a thriving country. This is part of the reason so many Iranians began to flee to America.^[45]

2026 and IRAN/ PERSIA fights
to be FREE from Terrorism

On July 19, 2026: Iran ruthlessly executed two young men —for helping terrified protesters flee the regime’s brutal security forces during the widespread demonstrations earlier this year.

Erfan Esfandiari, 18, and Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, a 23-year-old Afghan refugee, were hanged on Sunday for sheltering demonstrators from government bullets and offering them refuge inside their homes, Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American journalist and activist, wrote for the Free Press, citing local reports.

The pair are among the 59 men arrested together during the January protests in Shahid Alikhani Square in Isfahan, during which Iranian officials say four security force members were killed.

Twelve of them, including Esfandiari and Mohammadi, were sentenced to death. Those dozen were moved into quarantine last week, which likely means the remaining 10 will be executed soon, according to Alinejad. [ NY POST]

STOP TRUMP’S WAR ON IRAN ......Will it ever End

 

STOP TRUMP’S WAR ON IRAN-
An initiative of The ANSWER Coalition

 

On February 28, Donald Trump launched an illegal, unprovoked war on Iran.

"The US and Israeli militaries have since made over 3,000 strikes across the region, killing more than 1,300 Iranians — at least hundreds of them children — while eight American service members have already died and Trump openly admits many more will follow.

Every major war the United States has been forced to end was stopped not by the conscience of politicians but by sustained pressure from ordinary people who refused to accept the killing done in their name .... to expose this war for what it is: an illegal act of aggression waged to enrich oil executives and weapons manufacturers ...

 It’s time to build a massive anti-war movement in the U.S."

Hands off Iran Protests - April 8, 2026

The April 8th actions occurred on the same day the U.S. and Iran agreed to a tentative 14-day ceasefire. Despite the pause in fighting, Iranian leadership and protesters remained highly skeptical, citing fears that the fragile truce could collapse into a wider conflict.  

 

 ...organized by groups like the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, in major U.S. cities, demonstrators demanded an immediate end to U.S. military engagement and sought diplomatic solutions to prevent a wider regional conflict.

 

From Freedom News TV- April 8, 2026- Times Square

The 1979 revolution that brought Iran to its knees, has nurtured the Marxist/Socialists anarchists for decades. As these videos illuminate: These protest groups did not come to life under the TDS "regime".

Since the start of the Iran War on February 28, 2026, Iran’s “Ghost Fleet” continues active operations—loading cargo, transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and sailing east toward China—though the U.S. blockade may now be restricting exports.

UANI (United Against a Nuclear Iran) tracking shows ongoing illicit maritime activity. An ongoing U.S. blockade initiated on April 13 targets vessels entering and exiting Iranian ports and those carrying sanctioned or contraband oil but does not apply to all Iran-linked ships. U.S. forces focus primarily on large VLCC tankers rather than smaller carriers.

UANI Applauds U.S. Enforcement
Actions on Iran’s Ghost Fleet

(New York, NY) – United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) applauds President Trump and his administration for the latest sanctions designations action targeting entities and vessels involved in the illicit transport of Iranian oil and petrochemicals.

Seven of the eight vessels designated by the U.S. Treasury Department had previously been listed on UANI’s Ghost Armada for evasion of American sanctions.

These vessels include FLORA (IMO 9133070), HAUNCAYO (IMO 9180164), ILL GAP (IMO 9294305), MAYMEI (IMO 9133082), RCELEBRA (IMO 9286073), THEA (IMO 9298284), and YONGAN OCEAN (IMO 9288758).

View UANI’s complete Ghost Armada list here.

One of the most frequently deployed tactics in evading oil sanctions is “flag hopping.” This involves the repeated switching of a ship’s “flag” – which permits legitimate global travel and docking rights – to different national registries. Often accompanied by the formation of new shell and front companies, ownership and name changes, and even alterations to ships’ physical markings, flag-hopping is a blight on legitimate maritime commerce.

Today in the Middle East: Iran fired a barrage of missiles and drones at Kuwait, killing a civilian and injuring dozens of others at the country’s only international airport.

Iran also launched missiles and drones at Bahrain, another U.S. ally in the Gulf region, saying it was targeting the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet. The attacks further inflamed tensions as negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have dragged on without a resolution. [NYTimes]

The Best Deal With Iran Is No Deal At All

''It’s rare I cite National Review on the pages of Geller Report, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Dan McLaughlin is pessimistic about Trump’s ability to get a good deal from Iran’s regime, and suggests a better alternative in his view: no deal at all.''

[https://gellerreport.com/2026/06/the-best-deal-with-iran-is-no-deal-at-all.html/]

''Fanatics don't become rational because they've been pummeled militarily or because they are punished economically.

Neither the bombing they've endured, nor any blockade the U.S. can mount, can end their quest for a nuclear weapon with which to dominate the world and end the current world order. There is only one way to end the threat they pose to western civilization: end them! You can't bargain with them, frighten them or bankrupt them.

The only thing that will work is total decapitation of the regime leadership down to the last man at the national, provincial and local level.''- (lost link)

Inside Rasht's bloody crackdown:
witnesses detail secret removals of bodies

*Rasht is the largest city on Iran's Caspian Sea coast*

Security forces opened fire on protesters, blocked medical aid and secretly removed bodies as they crushed demonstrations in Rasht, northern Iran, during January’s nationwide uprising, eyewitness accounts and documents sent to Iran International show.

Witnesses described security forces shooting at protesters, blocking aid to the wounded, demanding money from families before returning bodies, and pressuring relatives to hold secret burials and avoid public ceremonies.

The new accounts add to an Iran International public documentation campaign that has gathered testimony saying protesters in Rasht were driven into narrow market passages, trapped as fire spread and fired upon by security forces during January’s unrest.

Arab states can no longer pretend
Tehran’s threat is manageable

For decades, a dangerous illusion governed the Persian Gulf. Arab capitals knew the Islamic Republic was hostile. Yet, they believed the threat could be managed.

They treated Tehran’s subversion as a chronic illness, not a fatal one. The Arab states of the Persian Gulf opted for quiet diplomacy. Tehran opted for proxies and intimidation. This tense balance was always a house of cards. That house has collapsed.

[https://www.iranintl.com/en/202606066241?source=share-link]

 Can Trump crack Iran's negotiating playbook?
The Strait of Hormuz represents
another test of Iran's leverage.

For decades, the Islamic Republic has used the threat of disruption in the waterway as one of its most powerful strategic tools. But according to Homayoun Falakshahi, who leads Kpler's crude oil analysis team, that leverage may already be eroding.

Falakshahi said oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen dramatically since the war and the US blockade on Iranian ports. Before the conflict, roughly 30 oil tankers transited the waterway daily. Today, the average is closer to one or two.

More importantly, he argues that the crisis is accelerating efforts by Gulf states to reduce their dependence on the strait altogether. Abu Dhabi is already expanding export capacity through Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, while other producers are exploring alternative routes.

"Five years from now, that leverage that the Islamic Republic currently has probably will not exist anymore," .... "Iran may be overestimating the long-term value of its position. ... They always overplay their hand,"....

For now, Iran is testing the limits: in Lebanon, in the Persian Gulf, at sea and at the negotiating table.

Trump may have disrupted Tehran's playbook. But whether he has cracked it will depend on whether pressure produces a durable agreement—or simply another pause in a decades-long confrontation.

May 5, 2026 Synagogue Great Israel Land Sale

“The Great Israel Real Estate Event.”

 

 For the second time in six months, protesters gathered outside Park East Synagogue, which was holding an event to promote real estate sales in Israel. A heavy police presence kept the two groups apart. ...as the acrimonious  conflict in the Middle East once again spilled over into its streets. Dozens of pro-Israel counter-demonstrators also assembled at the site.[NY Times] 

 

PAL-Awda NY/NJ [@PAL_Awda]

ALL OUT TO PROTEST the "Great Israel Real Estate Event" Tues, May 5 6:30 pm 163 East 67th Street New York, NY 10065 All out to protest the illegal sale of #StolenPalestinianLand! We will not be silent as ethnic cleansing is being actively promoted in our neighborhoods.

FYI: The HISTORICALLY correct names for the "West Bank"  are JUDEA and SAMARIA. "West Bank" is anti-Jewish agitprop.

From our Muslim Commie Mayor ....

''Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the event on Tuesday. Sam Raskin, his spokesman, said Mr. Mamdani was “deeply opposed” to the event because it “includes the promotion of the sale of land in settlements in the Occupied West Bank.”... “These settlements are illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians,”   

In January- AFTER his election

The Mayor has struggled to earn the trust of segments of the Jewish community because of his criticism of Israel and his history of pro-Palestinian activism. But he also won the votes of many Jews who said they were inspired by his campaign and either unbothered by or supportive of his views on the Middle East. He has repeatedly vowed to protect the security and celebrate the contributions of Jewish New Yorkers, and has been endorsed by many progressive Jewish public figures and groups.[ny times]

The event at Park East on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, was organized by Tivuch Shelly, a firm that markets real estate in Israel and the West Bank to English speakers.: The “Great Israeli Real Estate Event” [https://www.tivuchshelly.com/]

The NYPD established a large security perimeter, blocking streets around the synagogue, which restricted access for both protesters and potential attendees.

Hundreds of protesters gathered to oppose the sale of land in Israel and the occupied ''West Bank'', causing chaotic scenes.

They chanted, “We don’t want no two states, we want all of it,” “End the settler Zionist state,” “Death to the IDF,” and, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution.”[Times of Israel]

" ... the protest was “intended to create fear in the hearts of Jewish New Yorkers and stigmatize our community.” “This is part and parcel of the rising antisemitism that we are facing,” .... 

HENCE: The “buffer zone” 

“I’m not familiar with the Park East Synagogue. And having been standing where both protesters and counter-protesters were standing, you would not know where it was,” Bernstein said. “I’m actually still figuring out where the synagogue is because the buffers are so large that it’s impossible to know.”

A Jewish couple was surrounded and harassed last night outside the Park East Synagogue event. Masked individuals shouted. "You rape men, you rape children. "You f**king sociopath, I see it in your eyes." Jews are starting to feel the danger of the Mamdani leadership.[@canarymission]

“These people are harassing Jews,” said Tim Rosen, 44, a lawyer from Queens. “They’re targeting Jews at a synagogue, it’s disgusting and vile and something I never thought I’d see in New York City. These people don’t want to free Palestine. They want to target Israel and kill Jews.” [NY Post]

“Whatever your politics, whatever your views, this is not the New York way and should be condemned.” [NY Times]

It’s Time to Dismantle the Apparatus Terrorizing American Jews. [https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-last-straw/]

The terrorizing of Jews attending a real estate discussion at New York City’s Park East Synagogue last week must be the last straw. Every few weeks, there’s another incident. Another synagogue surrounded by protesters chanting “we need to make them scared.” Another Jewish worshipper put in a chokehold. Another commercial event forced to cancel because organized mobs showed up to intimidate attendees. Another neighborhood placed under siege while elementary schools lock their doors early. And every time, the response follows the same script: politicians condemn it, community leaders call it unacceptable, a few arrests are made for disorderly conduct, and then — nothing. The organization that planned it moves on to the next event. No more. It’s time that we took action to ensure that the organization that was responsible for organizing the terror campaign is bankrupted and dismantled. ... We need to stop pretending these are isolated incidents. They are not. They are part of a coordinated national campaign. What they are doing is illegal and it is long past time to use the laws on the books to end their campaign of terror.

 

 

Former President, Bill Clinton - “I killed myself trying to give them a State for the Palestinians. I had a deal that they rejected that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. Whatever. They rejected it all.” The Palestinians never wanted peace.

They do not want PEACE.
 Not with the Jews

... Mr. MAYOR Mamdani released a statement on the Israeli interception of a humanitarian aid flotilla in international waters, “These settlements are illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians.” [NY Times] So, what can the future possibly hold if even the Leftist NY Jews continue to ELECT the likes of  Zohran Kwame Mamdani  as MAYOR of NYC.

PEACE will not be possible.

 NO BUFFER ZONES

Karen L LichtBraun Herut New York City

The chaos in Midwood yesterday was due to permitting the anti-Zionists to protest in the street without a permit. Until laws for protesting are enforced, we will continue to see harassment of Jews and physical violence. It will escalate because the Jew haters know there is no enforcement.

There was a huge turnout from the Midwood community and beyond. The unity was amazing. We had each other’s backs. It made a difference. A message was sent from the Jewish community at the Midwood protest

Flood The Streets For Palestinian Prisoners- Ap 7, 2026

 PROTEST AGAINST ISRAEL PRISONER EXECUTIONS

 APRIL 7, 2026 at  2PM

The Israeli consulate- nyc

 

 

 ====

... a  protest was held against Israel for multiple war crimes and ...  the recent law passed in Israel to execute Palestinian prisoners.

The protestors expressed their support for the “axis of resistance” against Israel and American occupation.

''We support Hamas here! We support Hezbollah here! We support resistance here!”.

 

Part 1 - Stand With Israel protestors were also there from Heruit and other pro Israel groups (I didn't have the names). The 1st few pics are the anti Zionists ignoring the NYPD and crossing 42nd st to get as close to the consulate as possible. That didn't last long as the pro Israel protestors demanded they be sent back across 42nd

  

Part 2- The Hamasniks led a small PROTEST AGAINST PRISONER EXECUTIONS near the Israeli consulate, mostly students and the Neturei "kaka"

  

NATE FRIEDMAN interviewed both sides, with the hamasniks very nasty as always.

Later, they marched from Israeli Consulate to Union Sq.

Coming soon: NAKBA DAY MAY 15, 2026

Every year on 15 May, Palestinians across the world, in Gaza, the West Bank, refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and diaspora communities on every continent, pause to remember one of the most devastating events in modern history. They carry keys. They carry photographs. They carry the names of villages that no longer exist. They carry memories passed from grandparent to parent to child, kept alive because remembrance is the only thread still connecting them to a home many have never seen. This is Nakba Day.
[https://alqulubtrust.org/2026/04/22/what-is-nakba-day/]

.The marking of this supposed “catastrophe” (nakba) will surely be a key feature of the elite media discussion of Israel’s 78th anniversary. As such, it will represent an ongoing public-relations triumph for the Palestinians—and a victory for deceit and disinformation.
[https://www.commentary.org/articles/sol-stern/palestinian-nakba-narrative-wants-israel-dead/]

BUT, here is the TRUTH re the NAKBA

The Nakba was the Arab failure to exterminate the Jews of the land and erase Israel. That was their documented and declared goal. The Arabs weren't going to establish a "Palestinian' state- they were going to grab more land for themselves and not allow the Jews- who they view as "Dimmis" - second class citizens- to have their self determination. They're failure to destroy a tiny Jewish state was a HUMILIATION for them. That's the meaning of Nakba. [@bigpaddlingmike]

 

.Still, they claim a "genocidal epidemic" 
THEY being the communist/ socialist/ Hamasniks.

 

EVIL. Unabated.

 

Ending with Bill Doares - Workers World Party - Union Square-2025.
Bill repeats the anti-Israel propaganda that makes the hearts and minds of the gullible accepting of the lies. the propaganda. And,  the TRUTH be damned.

Gaza Unbreakable: No Settlers on Stolen Land!

 "Am I the only person who thinks it improper for only Jews to be made to run a gauntlet on the left and right at a synagogue entrance?"

We should all expect that Jews not be molested at the entry point of their synagogue.. outside the Park East Synagogue  ... where anti-Israel protesters .. .shouted

“Death to the IDF,” “We don’t want no Zionists here,” “Resistance... take another settler out” and “From New York to Gaza, Globalize the Intifada.”

This would not be acceptable at a mosque entrance, nor at a church entrance.

Yet, according to the claims of MAYOR-Elect Zohran Mamdani, a democrat socialist, “Violations of International Law” were deployed INSIDE Park East  ....''

What VIOLATIONS? ALIYAH?

This was an event by Nefesh B’nefesh, a Zionist organization that helps Jews immigrate to Israel,.... NO VIOLATIONS here except those committed by the anti-Jewish MOB, 

“It is our duty to make them think twice before holding these events,” one protest leader told the crowd..... We need to make them scared. We need to make them scared. We need to make them scared!” [....] 

  

So, 24 yrs after 9/11   .... the largest Jewish population... outside Israel...voted to elect an anti-Israel/anti-Jewish Muslim, Zohran Mamdani, the next MAYOR of NYC.

Seems they FORGOT what was NEVER to be Forgotten ....

 This flashback to April 4, 2025 revisits the "Gaza Unbreakable: Week of Rage". (March 31 to April 4) ... primarily organized by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and related student activist groups on university campuses demanding Institutional Divestment from Israel and to protest the ''War on Gaza.''

 

The NYPD, under Mayor Eric Adams, allowed both sides to co-mingle outside the main Public Library on Fifth Avenue and the pro-Gazans were not pleased (saw many grumbling). 

Flickr slide show of a healthy counter-protest with much truth and fact to challenge the Gazan lies…

The "Week of Rage"slogans "Gaza is Unbreakable" and "The Student Movement is Unbreakable" aimed to show solidarity with "Palestinians" in the face of the ongoing "humanitarian crisis" at the hands of Israel and the IDF aka IOF (Israel Occupying Force)  .... leaving the gullible snookered by claims of a GAZA GENOCIDE and looking to the future with Zohran Mamdani as NYC's next Mayor.
