My new article covers the breaking news that Bita Shafiei, a brave teenager in Iran, is finally out on bail, but the regime has kept her mother locked up as collateral. Bita was originally abducted for openly supporting the opposition leader, Prince Reza Pahlavi. Now, security forces are holding her mother hostage to force Bita into silence.

The Iranian people have drawn a line in the sand that the Islamic Republic cannot cross: on one side is the regime’s obsession with the "Palestinian cause," and on the other is the return of Prince Reza Pahlavi. This clarity was forged in the recent chants echoing across the nation. When the streets shouted against Gaza and called for the King, they made a strategic calculation to sever the regime's lifeline. The Islamic Republic does not exist for Iran; it exists to fuel a pan-Islamic empire, using Palestine as a weapon to drain our national wealth. The people have finally identified the only antidote to this poison. Prince Reza Pahlavi is the Great Filter. For decades, the regime has manufactured fake oppositions (reformists, leftists, and anti-Western intellectuals) to create the illusion of choice. These figures serve as a safety valve, sharing the regime's core DNA: they hate Israel, they despise the West, and they fear the monarchy. But the street has weaponized the Prince’s name to expose them. The logic is surgical. If you cannot accept the Pahlavi platform, you are functionally part of the Islamic Republic. For years they told us that the support for Prince Reza Pahlavi was fake. They dismissed the millions of voices as Israeli bots and cyber armies, claiming he had no footing inside Iran. Today, that lie is being trampled in the streets of Iran. The propaganda machine has collapsed under the weight of reality. The Iranian people have realized that any alternative not aligned with Pahlavi is merely the regime wearing a different mask. There is no middle ground left. The choice is binary: the total restoration of our sovereignty or the continued extinction of our nation. As an Iranian, I watched them dismiss our voices for years, calling us robots or traitors for loving and supporting Pahlavi. Seeing my people chant the same name in the streets that we shouted to the world vindicates us. It proves we were never fake. We were never alone. The Iranian people have already figured it out: they know that the alliance between leftism and Islam is what destroyed their nation. Now, our mission is to ensure the rest of the world wakes up to this reality before it is too late. This group is the headquarters where we are assembling the force multiplier to fight these ideologies head-on. Help us in building the weight we need to win.

so recently I started working in a new job and noticed that I have'nt got much time or energy to be here in this community and contribute even a little bit to it or even focus on some of the issues discussed here and on athiest republic with the same level of attention and priority even though some of them are extremely important issues and I've started thinking to myself even before the new job but for some odd reason more after starting it (without any direct context actually) about not seeing almost any content or more importantly discussions inside israel about islam with muslims in hebrew(or arabic) so I just started thinking if we should start having more of them here because usually we are seeing such things discussed in english or by israelis who do speak about them with muslims and arabs who speak english which are very important of course but I was just wondering if we should also have them in here , for example content like what david wood and ap and atheist republic are doing or things like tommy robinson does, yes we deffenitly have people like idit bar or mordechai keidar which are more academia people or t'zvi yehezkeli who is a journalist you people like tal from the traveling clatt or sahar tv schooling islamists about their own religon but have yet to see any hebrew videos talking about all of the escapades of muhamad (or maybe even more importantly in arabic directed towards arabs and muslims living in israel or around israel), like the very interesting story of Al Zutt so to get to the bottom of the post what do you think this ?

The scientific consensus on human evolution, supported by extensive fossil and genetic evidence, traces modern humans (Homo sapiens) back hundreds of thousands of years, emerging from a population in Africa rather than a single pair. Fossils like those of Australopithecus (around 4-2 million years ago), Homo habilis (over 2 million years ago), and early Homo sapiens (about 300,000 years ago) illustrate a gradual process with branching lineages, including interbreeding with Neanderthals and Denisovans. Genetic studies show that human diversity could not have arisen from just two individuals in the recent past; the effective population size never dropped below thousands, ruling out a literal genetic bottleneck from one couple as sole progenitors. No archaeological evidence directly supports the historical existence of Adam and Eve as the first humans. The biblical Garden of Eden may draw from ancient Mesopotamian myths about fertile regions where agriculture began, but no artifacts or sites confirm a literal paradise or original pair. Claims of "Mitochondrial Eve" and "Y-chromosomal Adam" refer to common ancestors for specific DNA markers (living 150,000-200,000 years ago), not a lone couple or biblical figures—they coexisted within larger populations.
