After the Taliban’s return to power, Afghan women were banned from sport. In quiet, unyielding defiance, they stood beneath their burqas, holding the equipment of the sports they loved, forced to abandon.

Afghan women keep singing loud and proud. Despite the Taliban’s draconian laws forcing them to stay silent in public, they’re posting videos of themselves singing.

They were quick to take it to the streets for Sweet Guluva, yet they couldn't take it to the streets for their beloved country. #ANCMustFall

The savage Taliban has locked up thousands of women in Band e Amir, and they are being forced to marry mermaids in the lake. This is heartbreaking 💔 please 🙏 help them!! Save them from forced marriage, the poor women of Afghanistan suffer greatly, all their rights have been taken away from them, and now they are being married off to mermaids by force. How long are we going to tolerate this UN Women UN Human Rights Human Rights Watch UNICEF Afghanistan ??

From an Afghan women:- Four years! That’s how long millions of Afghan girls and women have been waiting, for classrooms to reopen, for workplaces to welcome them back, for their dreams to breathe again. I was one of the lucky ones. I had the chance to learn, work, grow, be independent, and make choices about my own life; like any human being should. But I often think: this could have been the story of countless other Afghan girls if only they had been given the same opportunities. Education and work are not privileges, they are basic human rights. Until every girl in Afghanistan can study and work freely, the world will continue to miss out on their talent, ideas, and contributions. In just a few years, Afghanistan has lost what took two decades to achieve, especially for women. Decades of progress have been rolled back, taking with them the voices, dreams, and potential of millions. Today marks four years since Afghanistan changed in a way that put the future of its girls and women on hold. I stand in solidarity with them - those whose dreams have been taken away entirely.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you. And in the end, they are not after me, they are after you. And I just happen to be standing in their way. That's true!"

Kurdish minority in Aleppo being erased to the sounds of international silence. Simply for who they are. Human rights are not selective. Silence is not neutrality.

After Iranians protest for freedom, they clean up after themselves. After Palestinian “activists” take to the streets, they go find Jews to harass, attack, and intimidate. The difference between these two groups could not be any clearer. Thank God for the people of Iran.

In 2023, Afghan women chanted: “Freedom, liberty is our ultimate right” and “Women’s rights are human rights.” Since then—more arrests, torture, death threats. Afghan women & girls are banned from even stepping outside. The world watches. Silence enables oppression.

The people of Iran are protesting in the streets, demanding to end the Islamic regime. They call for Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to lead a new free Iran. I support their noble fight for freedom. Israel stands with them.
