The article said:

The Tehran Times doesn’t need to remind the illegitimate regime of Israel of Iran’s defense capabilities. Yet, they need to remember something. Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei responded to all Israeli threats in 2013, saying, “Sometimes the leaders of the Zionist regime even threaten us; they are threatening to strike militarily, but I think they know it, and if they do not know it, they must know that if they make a mistake, the Islamic Republic will destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa.” Keep your hands off!

This was published in 2021.

Iran is really good at threats, and not very good at following through. 

Last November, the same regime-linked newspaper reiterated:

As it was said two years ago: Just one wrong move! Attack on Iran, though circulated in the minds of Israeli officials, would be the termination date of the occupying regime. 

This isn't bravery. It is bravado. 

No one wants to see the war expand, but Iran's constant threats to destroy Israel are intended more to frighten the West than to be actual threats. After all, it has now been eight weeks since Israel assassinated the leader of Hamas in a supposedly secure area of Tehran, and eight weeks since Iran threatened a huge retaliation.  

Was that not a "wrong move"?

There have been similar threats from Hezbollah, with article after article about Hezbollah's huge rocket inventory. Again, not to minimize the threat, but both Hezbollah and Iran have a great deal to lose.

Most media ignores the bigger picture. For decades now, Iran has been building up its "axis of resistance" by creating proxies in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Syria, as well as Gaza and the West Bank, to create a "Shiite crescent" to project its power. 

Its goal has always been to become a world superpower. It intends to be the de facto leader of the Muslim world and then to cow other nations into allying with it as well. 

For years, they have tried to make it appear that this goal was inexorable. Their main obstacles are Israel and the US, while Europe has been so focused on stopping aggression that they end up being on Iran's side whether they intend to or not.

If Hamas is destroyed, it is a major setback to their plan. If Hezbollah is decapitated, it changes the entire trajectory of their master plan. 

Israel is sending a message to Iran: We are not frightened of you or your proxies. We are not going to fight the war the way you want or the way you expect. And we have the means to reach you if and when we decide to.

For a long time, Iran regarded their own threats as a major means to cow Israel and the West.  Israel is calling their bluff. 

The Arab nations who are a critical part of Iran's expansionism plans see this, and see who the real strong horse is  - which side is willing to do what is necessary and which side is hiding behind proxies and empty threats. 

The BDS group on Reddit is an endless source of all the proof you need that BDS is antisemitism.

Someone asked, "Any list of movies/studios to avoid?"

Here are some of the answers, after people said specific answers like "anything with Gal Gadot" or "I read some article somewhere saying that Dune's producers donated to Israel, so avoid that movie."

Jazzlike-Ad1184 All of the big five production companies: Walt Disney, Paramount, Universal Studios, Warner Bros, and Sony. Pretty much every big studio supports Israel, as they have always been owned and run by Zionists. Stream or pirate. Indels I only watch anime now and older ones. No more supporting Hollywood YourGalMal Quentin Tarantino's movies definitely. Dude is a raging zio. SkillNo4559 All of them. All run by dual Israeli citizens CambionClan Any money paid for Hollywood movies is going to ultimately go to the Zionists who run Hollywood. Ideally, don’t pay money for any movie, especially not at the movie theater.

It is pretty obvious that they are using "Zionists" (or the KKK-inspired "Zio") as shorthand for "Jew." 

Here's a graphic from the Tehran Times, clearly originally made by neo-Nazis,  that illustrates this better than I could.

I prefer keep the cultural aspect-not coming into silly,ridiculous notions and ideas that mean Intrusion into the matters of people,and lands.So with out any delay let's see animation news,from Iran.

"Animation has the power to captivate children s imaginations and make complex historical narratives more accessible and entertaining"

“The Boy and the Sword” available on Apple TV, Amazon Prime

The animation “The Boy and the Sword” directed by Emad Rahmani and Mehrdad Mehrabi has been released on the global streaming services.

A production of 2023, the 92-minute animated movie, also known as “Sword and Sorrow” has been made available to audiences around the world via Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video platforms, ILNA reported.

The story takes place more than a thousand years ago, in one of the famous cities of Mesopotamia, Madain. When the cruelty of the Sultan was at its peak, upholding justice was throwing one’s life into death.

Karen is a seven-year-old child, with his most significant possession being a birthday gift, a wooden sword bestowed on him by his father. But on his very same birthday, things take a tragic twist; the Sultan puts all who disobeyed him and their families to the sword, and Karen is one of them.

Thanks to his uncle, Karen survives. They escape the city, and his uncle entrusts him to the loving Brochim family in a small village named Mahuza. Although Mahuza is always full of love and Karen receives plenty, no second passes without him mourning for his family and dreaming of finishing what his father has started.

Now, after twenty years, in Madain, Karen sees an opportunity to make his father’s wish come true finally, but he’s also aware of what it will cost.

The animation has so far won several international awards including the Liverpool Indie Awards, Milan Independent Awards, SoCal Film Awards, Sacramento Underground Film & Arts Festival, South Film and Arts Academy Festival, Rome International Movie Awards, Five Continents International Film Festival, Oniros Film Awards, Crown Wood International Film Festival, Bright International Film Festival, Delta International Film Festival, Athens International Art Film Festival, and Indiefare International Film Festival.

New animated series celebrates Iranian heroes for young audiences

TEHRAN- The Arasbaran Cultural Center in Tehran, with the aim of familiarizing children and adolescents with the national heroes of Iran, is producing "Stories of Our Land Iran" in a visual format, narrating the epic tales of these champions, which will be published across various visual and social media platforms.

In response to deaths of numerous civilians, including innocent and defenseless children and teenagers, the Arasbaran Cultural Center condemns this unforgivable crime and has launched a project to create visual stories, directed by Amir Mashhadi Abbas, consisting of 50 episodes. IRNA reported on Friday. 

Children and adolescents, as the future builders of this land, need awareness in the face of foreign invasions and the threats posed by Zionism. Thus, familiarizing this demographic with educational and epic Iranian tales, as well as the stories of fighters and national heroes, will strengthen their spirit of bravery and patriotism, the report added. 

This visual project comprises 50 episodes, each lasting three to five minutes, featuring the epic narration of Iranian heroes by a group of storytelling artists aimed at children and adolescents. These stories will be broadcast on children's programs across various visual networks and other social media platforms.

Parents wishing to provide their children with access to these visual narratives can visit the Arasbaran Cultural Center's Aparat channel and other social media platforms associated with this center and other cultural and artistic organizations of Tehran Municipality.

The launch of the animated series represents a significant cultural initiative aimed at instilling a sense of national pride and historical awareness in the younger generation of Iranians. This project comes at a time when tensions in the region are high, particularly due to ongoing Israeli strikes on Iran. By focusing on the stories of national heroes, the series seeks to provide children and adolescents with relatable figures who embody courage, resilience, and patriotism.

Historically, Iran has a rich tapestry of heroic tales that span centuries, featuring figures from mythology, literature, and real-life events that have shaped the nation s identity. These stories often serve as moral lessons and sources of inspiration, encouraging values such as bravery, sacrifice, and loyalty to one s homeland. In the context of contemporary challenges, such narratives can play a crucial role in fostering a collective memory that emphasizes unity and strength in the face of adversity.

Moreover, the choice to utilize animated storytelling is particularly effective for engaging younger audiences. Animation has the power to captivate children s imaginations and make complex historical narratives more accessible and entertaining. By leveraging modern media platforms, the Arasbaran Cultural Center not only reaches a wider audience but also adapts traditional storytelling methods to fit contemporary consumption habits.

As this series unfolds, it will likely contribute to a broader cultural discourse within Iran, encouraging families to explore their heritage while reinforcing a shared sense of identity among young Iranians during challenging times.

Leaked donor call from a panicked Jonathan Greenblatt, Director of the ADL, where he says Israel has a "major, major, MAJOR generational problem". The source for the this is the Tehran Times [Iranian state media]. I have not seen any independent verification, and Western media appears to be ignoring it. The viral tweets about it are all mostly right-wing grifter accounts.
