The verdict of this The Cambridge Union debate was etched into the walls long before any of us entered. I stepped into a chamber charged with hostility, a sea of European keffiyeh-clad students who hadn’t come to listen, only to inflame and be inflamed. But it is precisely in rooms like this, where reason is drowned out by rage, that facts matter most. The motion: “This House Believes the International Community Has Failed Palestine.” Yet the opposition turned the floor into a theatre of one-sided condemnation, fixated on demonizing Israel and carelessly tossing out words like “apartheid” and “genocide.” Not once — not once — did they utter the name Hamas, nor acknowledge decades of failed Palestinian leadership that has poured billions into corruption and terror rather than the wellbeing of its own people. In that chamber, silence spoke louder than their speeches. And that is exactly why I spoke. “History shows clearly that from 1947 onward, the most decisive blows to Palestinian national aspiration came not from outside, but from within: from Arab states storming into war at every opportunity, from factionalism and widespread corruption, and from leaders far more committed to eliminating Israel than to building a viable state. It is worth talking about agency and accountability, and about ending the pretence that the absence of Palestinian prosperity is solely the fault of outsiders, while absolving Palestinian leaders of every decision they themselves made. But I know how debates like this one unfold. I saw it as a student here ten years ago when this Chamber voted that Israel was a rogue state. I watched speaker after speaker in favour of the motion demonize and delegitimize Israel, without once asking why Palestinian leaders had betrayed their own people and failed to deliver the freedom they promised.” An honor to enter the lion’s den alongside Hen Mazzig and Kaleem Chattha Video credit: The Cambridge Union

Exiled Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו’s direct address to the people of Iran: “Peace and stability after the fall of the Islamic Republic are not only possible, it is exactly what Iranians are fighting for. Achieving this requires maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic and maximum support of the Iranian people. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו's direct, repeated dialogue with the Iranian people is a positive step in this direction. I invite other world leaders, instead of engaging in useless negotiations with the criminal regime, to engage the Iranian nation directly.” #WomanLifeFreedom #زن_زندگی_آزادی
