  • Statement by Bob Vylan: “Not the First. Not the Last. Today, a good many people would have you believe a punk band is the number one threat to world peace. Last week it was a Palestine pressure group, the week before that it was another band. We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use ‘unnecessary lethal force’ against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza. We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction. The government doesn’t want us to ask why they remain silent in the face of this atrocity? To ask why they aren’t doing more to stop the killing? To feed the starving? The more time they talk about Bob Vylan, the less time they spend. Answering for their criminal inaction. We are being targeted for speaking up. We are not the first. We will not be the last. And if you care for the sanctity of human life and freedom of speech, we urge you to speak up, too. Free Palestine.”














  • To add this was Iran’s statement a few hours after the strike

    ❗️Statement from the Secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council regarding Iran’s missile response to the US aggression:

    “So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you.” — [Qur’an 2:194]

    In response to the aggressive and brazen US attack on Iran’s nuclear sites and facilities, the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran struck the American airbase in Al-Udeid, Qatar, a few hours ago.

    The number of missiles used in this successful operation matched the number of bombs the United States employed in its attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The base targeted by Iran’s capable forces was located at a significant distance from urban areas and residential zones in Qatar.

    This operation posed no threat whatsoever to our friendly and brotherly country, Qatar, or its honorable people. The Islamic Republic of Iran remains committed to preserving and continuing the warm and historic relations with Qatar."
