#rewind to when Iran attacked the UAE last week.

Regardless, as someone have been both in Dubai and Prague, I confirm that Prague is better 🥹

But Dubai is cool too!

Prague VS Dubai ✨

Jokes aside, I visited Dubai a month ago and it was amazing. I hope it will stay fine 🙏🏻
But you know, if you look for a city with a SOUL, your destination is Prague ❤️

Israel's SNL, Eretz Nehederet, draws the line between Israel's elimination of Ali Khamenei and the Israeli government's jewish messianic efforts to eliminate Israeli democracy (and judges and free speech).

#rewind to when Kim Jong Un allegedly executed teens for watching the Squid Game.
(Feb 05, 2026)

It represents more than just standard state brutality. It is the ultimate meta-commentary on the show itself:

Systemic Desperation: The regime identifies the show's depiction of a soul-crushing race for survival as a "rotten ideology" because it mirrors the internal reality of the North Korean state.

Selective Justice: Survival in this real-world game remains a matter of capital. Those with wealth or connections can often bribe their way out of "re-education," while the poor and unconnected face the firing squad.

Ideological Enclosure: The 2020 Anti-Reactionary Thought and Culture Act is an attempt to build a digital and cultural wall that is increasingly porous. USB drives and "notetels" continue to cross the border despite the threat of death.

The regime recognizes that the greatest threat to its stability is not a military invasion, but the realization by its youth that there is a world beyond the border.

For a few blissful months, I managed to avoid the specific brand of digital spectacle hosted by Piers Morgan. Recently, however, I suffered a minor setback when I sat through his latest panel on Iran.

I must admit, it was exhausting to watch, but so that you don't have to watch it entirely, here's the breakdown:

If we are looking for the most nuanced and reasonable voice on the panel, it was undoubtedly General Clark (25:01).
He showed a depth of historical knowledge that was sorely missing from others.

Interestingly, he pointed out that while the original Obama deal with Iran was far from perfect: it was still better than no deal at all (40:16 - 40:41):

Unfortunately, the agreement that we solved, uh, thought we solved it with in 2015, was thrown out in 2018.
And I agree that that agreement wasn't a great agreement. It didn't stop their ballistic missiles, and it didn't stop their axis of resistance. It didn't deal with Hezbollah. But it was an agreement. Now we don't have anything.


This is a clear, non-partisan jab at the decision to break it without a viable alternative.

He also correctly noted that expecting a "regime change" from the attack is not very likely, and that it isn't the mission at hand. (30:38 - 30:57)

On the other end of the spectrum, Goldie Ghamari was arguably the weakest link.
Instead of engaging with actual arguments, she seemed content to lecture the panel with rehearsed propaganda talking points.
For instance: her claim that President Carter supported Khomeini (45:46 - 45:51), which couldn't be farther for the truth.
Clark had was more historically accurate while speaking about this: the administration didn't expect Khomeini to seize power but was actually hoping to see Shapour Bakhtiar as the next leader of Iran. (26:28 - 27:32)

Elica Le Bon had her moments, though her reliance on antisemitism accusations (17:39 - 17:41) felt a bit like a tired schtick. However, she did catch Cenk off guard with a clever rhetorical trick that provided a bit of comic relief. (51:08-51:43)

Speaking of Cenk, I am honestly worried about the man. Every time I see him on these panels, he ends up shouting like a madman and sweating like a horse (36:18).
I'm genuinely worried that he might have a stroke on air. 🥲

But the attempts by the opposing side on the panel to label him a "jihadi" or "Islamist" are just ridiculous (15:56 - 15:59). There is a clear element of Islamophobia there. They don't call Dave Smith those names despite him having very similar views on Israel and Iran: so why the double standard for Cenk? Is it just the background?

Dave Smith was relatively reserved this time.
He usually has two settings: full-on conspiracy theory mode, or the "nuanced" version he uses when he feels out of his depth.
This time we saw the latter here. He expressed his positions well enough, but he was clearly treading carefully against a professional like Clark.

It is also funny to see Smith have to debate the very person he spent years referencing as an authority.
Dave likes to mention Clark’s famous anecdote about the Pentagon’s "seven countries in five years" memo as a sort of Holy Grail: proof that a permanent, unchanging deep state plan is still official policy today.

Clark finally corrected the record. He reminded the panel that this memo belonged to Neocons of the Bush era. Since then, we have seen four different administrations with entirely different agendas. To act as if a twenty year old scrap of paper still dictates every move of the current State Department is not just an oversimplification: it is intellectually lazy. (24:51 - 25:53)

It was a rare moment where a source actually stood up and told the person quoting him that his interpretation is vastly overrated.

Under this new deal, Hamas is no longer a threat to Israel. But it remains a significant threat to Palestinians — and to a broader peace.

Over the last week, reports have emerged from areas of Gaza where Hamas remains in control that the group is rounding up Palestinians who might oppose its rule and conducting executions in the streets. This shows once again that Hamas’ aims have nothing to do with dignity and justice for Palestinians, but only with its continued iron grip on Gaza.

Make no mistake: As long as Hamas remains the only security provider for the population in Gaza, there is no hope for the reconstruction of Gaza nor for a longer-term peace.

Translation:

In 1941, Nazi Germany invaded the USSR through Ukraine. My great-grandfather, moments before leaving to fight in World War II, told my grandfather—who was only 13 years old:

"You are the man of the house now. Take your sister and your cousin (both 8-year-old girls) and your mother (who is 40 and ill), put them on the wagon, hitch the horse, and drive to Uzbekistan."

And that’s exactly what happened. For about six months, my 13-year-old grandfather struggled along the roads under heavy bombardment and river crossings. He carried the weight of providing food for himself and the three souls his father had entrusted to him, eventually bringing them to Uzbekistan. Along the way, he had to steal food and even a horse—anything just to survive.

After about two years in Bukhara, the capital of Uzbekistan, when he was 15, he lied and said he was 16 so he could enlist in the Red Army. He served in the armored corps, survived two direct hits on two different tanks, and finished World War II at the age of 17, not far from Berlin.

Afterward, they told him: "Thank you for serving your country, you did a very important job, but you still have your mandatory service to complete." So, he remained in the service for another 3 or 4 years after the war ended.

Then, after living and working his entire life in the USSR, in 1991—with the fall of the Iron Curtain—he decided to leave everything he knew behind and immigrate to Israel.

So, yes. I’m okay. Thank you for asking.

Sacre bleu.

Emmanuel Macron has announced France will increase its nuclear arsenal - claiming that France needs to be “feared” on the world stage.

The French President will also allow temporary deployment of its nuclear-armed aircraft to allied countries for the first time ever.

Since Brexit,the country has been the only nuclear power in the European Union.

It has been some time since I last posted on this platform. It is a mere coincidence that I am returning today, exactly as the new conflict between Iran and Israel begins.

This was not planned.

​I have been meaning to write for a while regarding various other developments that occurred throughout this month.

Due to being occupied with other projects, I simply did not have the time to dedicate to this channel.

Still, ​I'm considering to schedule some posts addressing the world events that I failed to address from the past month. I may so shortly.

So whenever I'm gonna do it, it's going to be with the hashtag #rewind.

Expect the unexpected. 😐

It'd be a lot better if Iran would simply become a normal state, engage in trade, work with its neighbors, stop trying to take over the region, stop threatening Israel.
But Iran doesn't seem under its present regime to want to do that. So that's where we're headed.

PiersMorganUncensored">Piers Morgan Uncensored is a guilty pleasure of mine.
It's the political enthusiast’s equivalent of eating junk food.
In conversations with friends, we have often compared it to the WWE of politics.
Others online have called it "a reality show for political junkies".

One of the most legendary examples was the 2023 clash between Rabbi Shmuley and Mohamed Hijab. A collision of titans comparable to King Kong vs. Godzilla.

You sit in awe, unable to endorse either side, watching as the debate descends into wrestling in the mud.

Most of the panels on the show are filled with talking heads spewing propaganda and interrupting each other. Yet, even in these intellectual mud-pits, interesting observations can emerge.

Haven’t posted here in a while. Been lost in writing instead - the kind that actually matters.

Anyway. Simhat Tora was never my thing. Too much forced joy, too much loud, annoying music. But yesterday… it hit different.

I can say it now: probably the happiest Simhat Tora of my life.
The war is over. The hostages are home.
For once, I don’t have anything cynical left to add. Just relief.
