- איזה כיף לקרוא רשימת ביקורת על ״איראן: החיים עצמם״ בספרים ותרבות של הארץ. תודה לשמואל טרופ על הקריאה הנדיבה. בלי קשר, אין לי מושג מאיפה הם לקחו את התמונה שלי שנמצאת בכתבה, שאם אני מנסה לתארך אותה לפי צג המחשב ועוד כל מיני פרטים- היא בת עשרים לפחות. www.haaretz.co.il/literature/t...
- ראיינתי קולגה שלי שהשתתפה בהפגנות בטהראן בימים האחרונים שלהם. רציתי להבין טוב יותר מה היא חוותה וראתה, מה היא מבינה, ולהביא עדויות ודברים בשם אומרם. תודה לאורלי ולשיחה מקומית על הבמה. אני מקווה שזה יעזור www.mekomit.co.il/%D7%9B%D7%9C...
- Yet another example of why Pahlavi will not and cannot unite Iranians
- In 1978-79, the word among protesters in Iran was that the shah deployed the Israeli army, because there’s no way Iranian soldiers could have been so cruel. It wasn’t the Israeli army then. It’s not the Mossad or the Israeli army now.
- I think the most productive way we can support the protesters in Iran is to demand broader access to Starlink. This will not only provide more videos and real-time updates but also enable the protesters to coordinate better and share crucial information. #IranProtests
- I've seen images of the victims of the massacre in Iran over the past few days. The body bags and the grieving, worried people searching for their loved ones will haunt everyone forever. My admiration and solidarity with the brave Iranian people in the streets.
- I wrote my analysis of the ongoing events in Iran a couple of days ago. It just appeared on 972 Magazine. www.972mag.com/iran-protest...

- Reposted by Lior SternfeldThey spent months and months insisting he was an antisemite, with zero evidence, and then he chooses to get sworn in as mayor by America’s most famous and beloved Jewish politician. His critics are a mix of liars and fools.
- A reminder, if anyone needed it.

- You know what? I'm setting aside all cynicism and fears about 2026, at least for now. The year that starts with Bernie swearing in Mamdani must be better—and not mentioning the Jew administering the inaugural oath to the Muslim who will lead the greatest city in the country.

- This is one of the happier updates I get to share. Houchang Chehabi retired a few years ago. Those who know him know he's the most generous person. Generations of students were trained through Houchang's formal and informal participation.
- זה עצוב מאוד. אני מקווה שבדברי הימים של המקום הזה יעשה לו צדק. ענק של התרבות הישראלית ופעיל למען שלום אמיתי.

- Reposted by Lior SternfeldYear 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

- אני לא בטוח מה קורה עם הפלטפורמה הזו והאם היא ממריאה או לא, אבל ננסה שוב. אני ממש מקווה שהרשימה המשותפת תחזור עם ארבעת מרכיביה. כמו שמצוין בכתבה- הדרך עוד ארוכה. יש חילוקי דעות משמעותיים. אבל כל מי שרוצה לראות שינוי אמיתי בארץ חייב לרצות בזה. /1

- The moron is doing two good things (so credit goes where credit is due). The engagement with Iran towards an agreement that he broke in 2018, and lifting sanctions from Syria, which would allow the new regime to have a clean slate and rebuild the country.

- קראתי פעם שאחרי השואה, כמעט כל משפחה גרמניה התחילה לספר על איך המשפחה שלהם תמיד התנגדה לנאצים, חלק הגדילו והכניסו בדיעבד את קרוביהם להתנגדות, החביאו יהודים וכו. כל זה כדי להגיד שידיהם לא היו במעשה. עוד כמה שנים נשמע איך כל הציבור הישראלי התנגד לחרא הזה.
- You hear that, congressional Democrats? “… self-identified Democratic voters say they want their party to hold the line on their positions even if it leads to gridlock, rather than focus on finding areas of compromise with the president.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
- Reposted by Lior SternfeldExtraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
