Los Angeles stood with Iran on February 14, 2026, as thousands gathered to demand freedom from the brutal Islamic Republic of Iran that has oppressed the Iranian people for 47 years. Voices from across the Iranian diaspora and allied communities united with one message: the world is watching, and the Iranian people are not alone.

Despite censorship, violence, and unimaginable risk, Iranians continue to rise. Their courage has inspired a global movement that refuses to accept tyranny as permanent.

Do not lose hope. The Iranian people will be free.

Hamas captivity survivor Eitan Mor is now celebrating life surrounded by friends, fellow survivors, and allies in Rio de Janeiro. After enduring starvation, torture, and unimaginable abuse at the hands of a terror organization, he is reclaiming his future.

This project filmed many of the young Hamas captivity survivors in Rio. Eitan, and his fellow survivors, represent the resilience of an entire generation of young Israelis who refused to be broken.

Hamas tried to steal their lives, but they failed. The strength, spirit, and unity of the Israeli people cannot be destroyed.

The Haka is a powerful expression of identity, resistance, and unity that’s now being performed in solidarity with the Iranian people.

Maori performers have long used the Haka to stand with indigenous peoples around the world, including Israel, a nation that reclaimed its ancestral homeland after centuries of exile. Today, they are raising their voices for Iranians fighting to reclaim their country from an oppressive regime that has ruled through fear and violence for 47 years.

Like the Maori, the Iranian people carry an unbreakable spirit rooted in culture, history, and courage. Their bravery has not been extinguished, and one day, their freedom will prevail.

The hope for freedom unites us all. 

At a rally for Iranian freedom in Toronto, Jewish allies stood proudly alongside Iranians demanding an end to the regime’s oppression. In a powerful display of unity and culture, Iranian attendees shared traditional treats with the Jewish delegation in a gesture of friendship, gratitude, and shared purpose.

This is what solidarity looks like.

From Israel and from Jewish communities around the world, the message is clear: Jews stand with the Iranian people in their fight for freedom, dignity, and a future free from the murderous Islamic Republic of Iran.

A Yeshiva University student was violently assaulted by a group of masked assailants at a subway station in Washington Heights last night.

Yeshiva University put out a statement calling the assault an ā€œunbiasedā€ robbery attempt and confirming that the student is ā€œback on campus in good condition.ā€
NYC’s only Ethiopian-Israeli restaurant has been forced to close after relentless ā€˜anti-Zionist’ harassment. 

This wasn’t about politics, but about unfairly targeting a small business simply because of its identity as Ethiopian, Israeli, and Jewish.

Ethiopian-Israeli Jews represent one of the most extraordinary stories in Jewish history: a community rescued from persecution and brought home to Israel, now contributing to Israeli society and sharing their culture with the world. In New York, a city that prides itself on diversity, a particular culture is being driven out by intimidation and hate.

When ā€˜anti-Zionism,’ a dog-whistle for antisemitism, results in harassment and the silencing of Jewish and Israeli voices, it reveals itself for what it truly is.
