Kill 26,000 people, execute children and women in Iran, forcibly displace 7 million Syrians, fund and plan the October 7th genocide in Israel, support terrorists in Yemen, Gaza, and Iraq, and chant "death to America." Then, die in a helicopter crash, and the UN will stand for a minute of silence—not for your victims, but to mourn you.

What a morally bankrupt outfit this taxpayer-funded farce is!

Just a few months ago, Ebrahim Raisi executed her son, Now, she’s dancing over his death in a helicopter crash.

‎I told you Iranian women are wounded, but unbowed to their oppressors.

My social media is flooded with videos of the family members of those killed by the President of the Islamic Republic, celebrating his death.

The Washington Post:

Iran asked the US for urgent help in locating the helicopter of the Iranian president - and the US sent a map showing the site where it Crashed
Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by Uprightness100(m): 10:30am On May 21
Intellitimes blog reveals that Iran fitted President Raisi with a government helicopter based on a military Bell 412EP equipped with 4 rotors, depending on the size and number of passengers in this version, but on the day of the crash it was observed with only two rotors, similar to the Bell 212, indicating a change which was made in a helicopter possibly because of shortage of original parts or a poorly made upgrade.

This means that the helicopter that was originally designed to carry 10 passengers using a propulsion force created by 4 rotors took off that morning, with 9 passengers, with propulsion power from only 2 rotors and in weather and wind conditions that did not match its original design.

My good friend ,pastor George Kirsten, a Vietnam war veteran helicopter pilot, wrote me that he has flown the bell 212 helicopter and it is poorly equipped for IFR (Instrument Flight Rules).

This was 16 y/o Iranian girl Atefeh Rajabi Ahalaaleh
In 2004 she was executed after she met a 51 year old man, Ali Darabi who over time raped her.


When they were caught Atefeh was imprisoned and sentenced in a rushed trial to death by hanging. She received this sentence because the judge thought that she was 22 years old, as it is illegal to give a death sentence to anyone under 18 in Iran.
Ali received 100 lashes.


The BBC and Discovery Times Channel have both run documentaries on her short and sad life. The Human Rights Group Amnesty International, as well as many others organizations from the international community declared her killing to be a crime against humanity and against children of the world.

The operation in the Jenin refugee camp:

The IDF increased its forces in the last hour and brought more fighters into Jenin, now hundreds of fighters are fighting in the area who continue the exchange of fire - from various special forces units.


The IDF is investigating Palestinian claims of injury to uninvolved civilians during the exchange of fire.

According to the Palestinian claims, a doctor was killed and a journalist was wounded by gunfire.


A security source says that at this stage it is not possible to know what they were injured by, and it is possible that they were injured by the terrorists' fire. The issue is being investigated.

Ebrahim Raisi, President of Iran

Abdel-Malek al-Houthi, the leader of the Houthis

Hibatullah Akhundzada, leader of the Taliban

Kim Jong Un, President of North Korea

Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of Chechnya
