Newly obtained video from Najaf, southern Iraq, provides more insight on the ruthless methods used by Iraqi security forces (infiltrated by #Iran's regime) against peaceful demonstrators.
More video from unrest in #Iraq

Footage from Baghdad also shows protesters setting fire to a poster put up by #Iran-backed militias reading, "Death to America & Israel"

THREAD

1)
 @MajidJowhari, a Liberal MP in Canada known for his pro-#Iran regime views & policies, is up for reelection. This thread sheds light on Jowhari being a Tehran apologist/lobbyist, supported by @ICCongress, the mullahs’ lobby arm in Canada, and should not be reelected.
2)
 Canada’s previous Conservative gov cut off diplomatic ties with Iran.

Jowhari supports reestablishing diplomatic/commercial relations between Canada & Iran, despite Tehran being the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism & having the highest number executions per capita.
3)
 During the Dec 2017/Jan 2018 protests across Iran, Jowhari caused a major uproar by describing Tehran’s ruthless dictatorship as an “elected government.”

SHORT THREAD
1)
 Ruhollah Zam, a so-called "journalist turned activist," has been "arrested" by #Iran's IRGC.
-Iranians know he was sent abroad by the regime's intelligence services.
-Zam's main mission was to post fake/controversial news on social media.

reuters.com/article/iran-o…
2)
 -Iranians says his "expiration date" has passed & now Tehran intends to "use him" for other purposes.
-Iran used Zam to literally "control the news" on social media
-to create baseless anxiety among his readers
-spreading fake news to sideline real news about the opposition
3)
 In this video, released by #Iran's Fars news agency (known to be affiliated to the Revolutionary Guards), Zam is seen apologizing to the Iranian regime!

(Some "journalist turned activist"!)

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉
