Ye’s Apology Is Not Enough
American-Iranian comedian Max Amini draws a clear line between the Persian people and the Islamic regime that rules over them.
We’ve said it before, and we will say it again: the people of Iran are not their government. For 47 years, they have been held hostage by a repressive regime and they deserve freedom more than anyone.

What an absolute KWEEN.
Israeli electronic pop singer Noga Erez shut down an antisemitic message by exposing just how absurd these haters really are.
But the reality is this: Noga (and far too many Jewish artists) are constantly targeted by this kind of hate. We need to show up, speak out, and make it clear that these voices are not the majority.
Haters are a fringe and they will not define the space.

Iran is now isolating its own athletes, banning national and club teams from traveling to so-called “hostile” countries under the claim of safety. This doesn’t protect players, it restricts them, forcing matches to be relocated and disrupting international competitions, including World Cup plans.
As tensions rise, it’s once again ordinary Iranians paying the price for political decisions.

What should have been a simple family tribute turned into pure online hate. Sydney Sweeney is facing a wave of abuse after posting support for her brother in the US military and honoring all service members, with users spreading conspiracies, antisemitism, and even wishing him dead. This isn’t criticism, it’s dehumanization, and it shows just how far online hate has gone.

Israelis have created life and community underground. Today, during one of the endless barrages of missiles fired by the regime in Iran, barrages that have forced millions into shelters and turned basements, garages, and stations into makeshift communities, restaurant kitchen staff began serving tiramisu dessert to others in the shelter.
Because even under fire, Israelis don’t just endure, they rebuild normalcy, share what they have, and refuse to let terror define the human moment.

Israeli children are decorating the remnants of a ballistic missile, one launched by an Islamic regime with the sole intent of killing as many civilians as possible. These are not abstract targets. These are children. Innocent lives placed directly in the path of weapons designed for maximum destruction.
No matter your politics, the reality is clear: a regime willing to fire missiles at civilian populations is willing to harm children. That is the standard we are confronting. And that is why such actors cannot be allowed to obtain or expand the weapons that enable this kind of terror, against Israel, or anywhere in the world.

Thank you to @boygeorgeofficial for doing what more celebrities should be doing.
With the overwhelming rise in violent antisemitism around the world, it’s time to check on your Jewish friends, colleagues, and communities, and to speak up.
Thank you Boy George ♥️

Artists don’t exist outside of conflict, they absorb it, respond to it, and carry its weight.
Israeli band Orphaned Land has postponed their show in light of the ongoing war, a reminder that even music is not immune to the realities facing the region.
Iranian artists and athletes have endured intimidation, imprisonment, and violence simply for standing with their people. Our thoughts are with Israelis, Iranians, and all those across the Middle East navigating the human cost of this moment.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Israelis, Iranians and the entire Middle East.
