Humanity defeats hate.

Saeid Mollaei is the world judo champion from Iran who defied regime orders in 2019 to lose intentionally to avoid competing with Israelis. He defected to Germany.

He lands in the Jewish state today for a Tel Aviv tournament.

Israeli world champion judoka Sagi Muki, right, and Iranian champion Saeid Mollaei embrace at the Paris Grand Slam, February 10, 2020.

When Ayatollah Khamenei’s poisonous regime falls, millions of Iranian men & women will finally be free to embrace Israelis and all of humanity.
"Following what happened in the last World Judo Championships Tokyo 2019, the International Judo Federation pronounces against the Iran Judo Federation a suspension from all competitions."

When Iran appealed & lied, Saeid Mollaei testified against them.

ijf.org/news/show/iran…
Mollaei & 2 other Iranian athletes—in police protection at a secret location—testified at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.

“The Iranian regime pressured me not to testify, not to tell the truth, saying I'd be a traitor,“ said Vahid Sarlak.

Mollaei arrived at the court under protection of a special unit of Swiss police & was returned to his hotel accompanied by the same entourage. The hearing, during which all three Iranian sportsmen testified against the Islamic Republic, lasted for 6 hours.

During the court case, when Saeid Mollaei bravely defied threats against him & his family, and decided to tell the world how Iran ordered him to throw a match so as not to compete with Israelis, 🇮🇱 world champion @sagimuki posted this message for Saeid:

judoinside.com/news/4092/We_a…
March 2020: "World judo champion Saeid Mollaei of Iran, who fled his country last year, will compete at this year's Tokyo Olympics for Mongolia after the International Olympic Committee approved his nationality switch."

No joke: UN Human Rights Council “expert“ @AlenaDouhan ends 12-day Venezuela visit by blaming country's meltdown not on Maduro—but on sanctions imposed on the regime's criminals by US, UK, Canada & other democracies. ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/…

@ABlinken Please condemn this outrage.
Note: the 2014 sponsor of this UNHRC mandate on “unilateral coercive measures“—which aims to portray brutal dictatorships as victims of Western sanctions that are somehow themselves human rights violations—is the 🇮🇷 Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Those who voted for the resolution included: Cuba, China, Pakistan, Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Benin, Botswana, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gabon, Indonesia, Kuwait, Philippines, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Vietnam...

I told the United Nations: “Mr. Chair: They said it could not be done. They said it was impossible. But after the latest remarkable advances toward resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict, the world must acknowledge and say to the Islamic Republic of Iran: You did the impossible.“
“For decades, Arab states and Israel fought each other in wars, while the Arab League enforced a global economic boycott of the Jewish state. Whatever happened, the Arab states would always blame Israel. But since around 2006, this began to change.“
“And if anyone most deserves the credit, It’s Iran.

If not for Iran’s escalating aggression across the Middle East; if not for its sponsorship of wars and terror through Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and other proxy militia in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza...“

RARE: @UNRWA chief admits "mistakenly" distributing textbooks replete with glorification of terrorism, incitement, promotion of antisemitic conspiracy theories. jewishinsider.com/2021/01/unrwa-…

@UNLazzarini Have you fired any of the following UNRWA hate preachers whom we identified? ⬇️
1/ Mudalalah Louz, Gaza school principal whose Facebook profile depicts 4 men violently destroying Israel by piercing the Israeli flag with spear-shaped flagpole of the Palestinian flag & who teaches school children
that Israeli cities like Jaffa and Acre are part of "Palestine."
2/ Mohammed Al-Ajrami, Deputy Chief of UNRWA Gaza who identifies himself as member of the PFLP terrorist group, glorifies PFLP terrorists, encourages children to pursue terrorism in the fight for Palestine. “Teach your children that the Land can be won back only with a rifle.”

The same group that always cites the Palestinian Ministry of Health now wants you not to know that it exists, is responsible for vaccinating its population & has rejected Israeli help. See this thread for key facts:

Amnesty just wants you to hate Jews.
Founded in 1961, Amnesty built a reputation for supporting prisoners of conscience who were non-violent.

While some in the global NGO still do good work, Amnesty has lost direction, often supporting antisemites, misogynists, homophobes & terrorists.

In 2010, Gita Sahgal, then head of the organization's gender unit, was fired for exposing Amnesty's shameful ties & support for Britain's most famous Taliban advocate, former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Ken Roth doesn't like good news about Israel's vaccinations, so he's trying to twist it into an act of racism.

Here's how he deceives:

1/ Law. He says "as occupying power," Israel "has not vaccinated a single Palestinian." But the PA is responsible for health & vaccinations.
2/ See Oslo Accords, 1995 Interim Agreement, Annex I, Art. 17:

Powers and responsibilities in the sphere of Health...will be transferred to the Palestinian side...

...the Palestinian side shall continue the vaccination of the population...

mfa.gov.il/mfa/foreignpol…
3/ PA Ministry of Health: “We are working on our own to obtain the vaccine from a number of sources. We are not a department in the Israeli Defense Ministry. We have our own government & Health Ministry, and they are making huge efforts to get the vaccine.”jpost.com/israel-news/pa…
