🚨The Shahed Ghoreishi Case🚨

The U.S. State Department has fired Shahed Ghoreishi, an Iranian-American press officer who spent 7 months undermining pro-Israel messaging from inside the Trump administration. From deleting "Judea & Samaria" to pushing Hamas-friendly language, his actions directly contradicted U.S.-Israel security interests.

This thread exposes his full profile, NIAC ties, anti-Trump writings, and the vetting failures that allowed a pro-Iran operative to shape American foreign policy for 214 days.

1/25 🚨 FIRING DECISION — Pro-Israel Discipline Restored

Date: August 19, 2025

Position: Senior press officer/contractor, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs

Authority: State Department leadership under Secretary Marco Rubio

Reason: Documented pattern of edits undercutting official pro-Israel talking points

Status: Contract terminated without explanation (not required for contractors)

Impact: Immediate removal from all messaging responsibilities

The Shahed Ghoreishi case represents a decisive moment in the fight against Iranian influence operations within the U.S. government. His 7-month sabotage campaign—from erasing "Judea & Samaria" to legitimizing Hamas operatives—demonstrates the sophistication of Tehran's strategy to undermine the U.S.-Israel alliance from within. His termination sends an unmistakable message: the Trump administration will not tolerate ideological subversion of American foreign policy, especially regarding our most vital Middle Eastern ally.Image
2/25 🧭 POLICY FLASHPOINT #1 — Erasing "Judea & Samaria"

Incident: Draft response praising House Speaker Mike Johnson's visit
Original Language: "Judea and Samaria" (prepared by U.S. Embassy Jerusalem)

Ghoreishi's Edit: Changed to "West Bank" before release
Policy Significance: Biblical terms reflect Israel's historic claims and Trump admin preference
Complainant: David Milstein, senior adviser to Ambassador Mike Huckabee
Outcome: Language dispute became formal complaint triggering investigation
3/25🧭 POLICY FLASHPOINT #2 — "Forced Relocation" Sabotage

Trigger: Associated Press query about Israel-South Sudan Gaza relocation discussions
Ghoreishi's Addition: "We do not support forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza"

Embassy Response: "Cut the line marked in red and clear" (internal memo)
Trump Position: President had previously opposed "Gaza eviction plan"
Problem: Ghoreishi's language could constrain future Israeli security options
Result: Line removed by senior officials, incident documented
4/ 25🧭 POLICY FLASHPOINT #3 — Condolences for Hamas "Journalists"

Date: August 10, 2025
Incident: Death of Anas al-Sharif and 5 other "journalists" in Gaza City
Israeli Intelligence: Al-Sharif identified as Hamas operative

Al Jazeera Denial: Disputed Hamas affiliation claim
Ghoreishi's Draft: "We mourn the loss of journalists and express condolences to their families"

Official Rejection: "No response needed. We can't send condolences if unsure of individual's actions"
Security Risk: Could legitimize Hamas propaganda operatives as civilian journalists

10/25 📚 HIS OWN WORDS CONDEMN HIM — Anti-Trump Iran Policy

Source: Defense One, May 2021
Full Quote: "The Trump administration implemented a 'maximum pressure' policy, which was a moral and strategic failure... the Iranian people suffered under draconian sanctions that decimated their livelihoods and limited medical supplies in the country—including during the Covid-19 pandemic."

Analysis:
Calls successful deterrence policy "moral failure"
Echoes Iranian regime propaganda about sanctions impact
Written while seeking U.S. government employment
11/25 📚 ADVOCATING U.S. RETREAT — Syria Withdrawal Benefits Iran

Source: Responsible Statecraft, May 28, 2020
Full Quote: "Instead of continuing the same dead-end policy, the U.S. should embrace restraint and withdraw those troops for the sake of a secure and stable Syria."

Strategic Reality:
U.S. troops in Syria counter Iranian expansion
Withdrawal benefits Iran's "Axis of Resistance"
Directly opposes Israeli security interests in preventing Iranian entrenchment
12/25 📚 PROMOTING IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL — Against Israeli Survival

Source: Defense One, May 2021
Full Quote: "If the Biden administration successfully returns to the Iran nuclear deal... they will unlock a diplomatic goldmine for the region. It would start with detente between Riyadh and Tehran."

14/25 📚 SUPPORTING ASSAD REGIME — Strengthening Iran's Syria Position

Full Quote: "The U.S. should remove sanctions, which were aimed at ousting Assad. Finally giving up on regime change, leftover sanctions hamper the recovery to the detriment of the Syrian people."

Reality Check:
Assad regime killed 500,000+ Syrians
Iran uses Syria to threaten Israel
Sanctions removal strengthens Iranian proxy network
15/ 25🤔 🚨WHY WAS HE STILL THERE? 🚨— Systematic Vetting Failures

- Contractor Loophole: Different vetting standards than political appointees or career civil servants
- Biden Holdover Problem: Inherited from previous administration without immediate review
- Staffing Pressures: State Department understaffed during transition, relied on existing contractors
- Position Misclassification: Israel-Palestinian messaging role should have required High Risk security designation
- Timeline Failure: 214 days of policy sabotage before decisive action
- Social Media Blindspot: Agencies don't routinely monitor employee social media despite authority
16/25 🛡️ VETTING BREAKDOWN — How the System Failed America

Risk Assessment Error:
Position handling Israel-Palestinian messaging = High sensitivity

Access to draft official statements = High impact potential

NIAC connections = Clear conflict of interest indicator

Background Check Gaps:

NIAC internship not weighted as security risk

Financial donations to pro-Iran lobby not flagged

Published anti-Trump articles not considered disqualifying

Contractor vs Employee Standards:

Contractors face less psychological testing requirements

Different loyalty screening protocols

Easier to retain problem personnel through transitions
17/25🧑⚖️ THE DAVID MILSTEIN FACTOR — Heroes in Government

Position: Senior Adviser to U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee
Background: Pro-Israel advocate ensuring message discipline

Action: Formal complaint when Ghoreishi removed "Judea & Samaria"
Broader Role: Previously pushed for strong Ireland settlement statement
Criticism: Some called him "overly eager" to please Israeli officials

Reality: Exactly the kind of loyalty needed to protect U.S.-Israel alliance
Impact: His intervention exposed the pattern and triggered investigation
18/25📣 EXTERNAL PRESSURE — Laura Loomer's Investigation

Platform: X (Twitter) investigation and expose thread
Claims: "Pro-Iranian Regime Jihadi Muslim Tied To NIAC"
Evidence Provided: FEC filing screenshots showing NIAC Action PAC donations
Additional Donations Revealed: ActBlue, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders

Spokesperson: Tommy Pigott

Official Statement: "We do not comment on leaked emails or allegations. Federal employees should never put their personal political ideologies ahead of the duly elected President's agenda."

Additional Warning: "Zero tolerance for employees who commit misconduct by leaking or otherwise disclosing confidential deliberative emails or information."

Policy Enforcement: Swift action on message discipline violations
20/ 25🇺🇸🇮🇱 STRATEGIC CONTEXT — Trump's Unprecedented Pro-Israel Record

Jerusalem Embassy: Moved from Tel Aviv, recognizing Israeli sovereignty
Golan Heights: Recognized Israeli sovereignty over strategic territory
Iran Maximum Pressure: Withdrew from nuclear deal, imposed crushing sanctions
Abraham Accords: Brokered historic Arab-Israeli normalization

Proxy Support: Subtle language changes can legitimize Hamas, Hezbollah
Alliance Erosion: Undermine U.S.-Israel coordination through messaging confusion
Ghoreishi's Role: Perfect inside saboteur with academic credentials and media access

🚨 BREAKING: The #SouthAfrica's MTN Group under US Criminal Investigation

We're witnessing what could be the most significant corporate terrorism financing case in history. South Africa's MTN Group—Africa's largest telecommunications company—faces a US Department of Justice criminal investigation that could redefine corporate accountability forever. This isn't just another business scandal. This case combines 20 years of alleged terrorist financing, billions in revenue flows to America's enemies, and legal precedents that will reshape how multinational corporations operate in conflict zones.
Here's why this matters to everyone, and why the implications extend far beyond one company's actions.
Buckle up!

#MTN #CorporateAccountability #Terrorism #DOJ #Taliban #IRGC #BusinessEthics #NationalSecurity #Justice #CorporateResponsibility
1/18 🏢 THE BOMBSHELL INVESTIGATION: When Telecoms Meet Terrorism

South Africa's MTN Group—controlling 280 million subscribers across Africa and the Middle East—stands accused of the unthinkable: systematically funding terrorist organizations through routine business operations. The US Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into allegations that MTN paid millions to Taliban militants in Afghanistan while funneling billions through its Iranian joint venture to entities controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This isn't corporate negligence—it's alleged structural complicity in terrorism that spans two decades and two of America's most dangerous adversaries. The investigation represents the Department of Justice's most ambitious extraterritorial prosecution of corporate terrorism financing to date.Image
2/18 💰 THE AFGHANISTAN BETRAYAL: Protection Money That Killed Americans

For 15 devastating years (2006-2021), MTN allegedly transformed Afghanistan's telecommunications infrastructure into a funding mechanism for Taliban operations. The company's "protection payments"—reportedly totaling millions of dollars—weren't just business expenses. According to families of US service members, contractors, and Afghan civilians, these payments directly funded the weapons, explosives, and operations that killed their loved ones. The moral mathematics are stark: every dollar MTN allegedly paid to keep its towers operational potentially bought bullets that targeted American forces. The Taliban used this steady revenue stream to expand territorial control, purchase advanced weaponry, and maintain the insurgency that ultimately reclaimed Afghanistan. This case forces an uncomfortable question: How many American deaths were subsidized by corporate profits?Image

The Untold Story: Jewish Heroes of South Africa's Liberation Struggle

🧵 THREAD: The extraordinary sacrifice of South African Jews in the fight against apartheid - a story of courage that challenges everything you thought you knew about the liberation struggle.

This is the hidden history that will change how you see South Africa's liberation struggle. The evidence establishes that Jewish participation in anti-apartheid resistance was not accidental but represented a systematic community response to systematic oppression, driven by historical memory, ethical imperatives, and structural positioning within South African society.

The Jewish contribution to South African liberation was both quantitatively extraordinary (2,500% overrepresentation) and qualitatively comprehensive, spanning every aspect of resistance from legal defense to cultural expression to armed struggle.
Prepare to be shocked by the statistics.

(Personal note: this is a thread - and a subsequent research paper - I had in mind for quite some time, being a South African Jew. It is my legacy )

SOURCES & FULL RESEARCH:
📋 This thread is based on comprehensive academic research including: South African Jewish Board of Deputies statistics/Truth and Reconciliation Commission records/University of Cape Town studies
International Court of Justice documentation/Nobel Committee archives/ANC historical records

1/25 🏛️ THE MORAL PARADOX

Apartheid was implemented in 1948 - the SAME YEAR the UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This created a profound moral crisis that positioned South Africa's tiny Jewish community at the center of history's greatest liberation struggle.

Jewish anti-apartheid activism spanned over 70 years (1940s-2010s), with multiple generations participating in the struggle.
2/25 📊🔥 BOMBSHELL REVELATION

While Jews made up only 0.6% of South Africa's population, they comprised 60%+ of white defendants in major anti-apartheid trials. This represents a 2,500% overrepresentation in the freedom struggle. Let me tell you this incredible untold story...

📊 THE STATISTICS ARE STAGGERING:

Jews: 0.6% of total population
Jews: 2.5% of white population
Jews at 1956 Treason Trial: 60.9% of white defendants
Jews at Rivonia Trial: 60% of defendants
Overall: 50%+ of white political prisoners were Jewish

Charts below shows the extraordinary disproportion and also the extraordinary Jewish overrepresentation across professional categories:
Judges: 60% of anti-apartheid judges were Jewish
Lawyers: 45% of anti-apartheid lawyers were Jewish
Architects: 50% of activist architects were Jewish
Writers/Journalists: 40% were JewishImage

🚨 EXPLOSIVE INVESTIGATION: THE MAHER #BITAR FILES 🚨
How did a documented anti-Israel campus radical ascend to America's most sensitive intelligence positions?

This comprehensive investigation reveals a systematic infiltration of anti-Israel activism into the highest levels of U.S. intelligence - a 20-year journey from organizing conferences calling for Israel's destruction to controlling America's most classified national security information. Today, @DNIGabbard finally took action.

What you're about to read is the most complete documentation of how ideological extremism penetrated the heart of American intelligence. From Georgetown University's Students for Justice in Palestine to the National Security Council's most sensitive roles - this is the story they don't want you to know.

A 🧵 based on extensive investigations by @canarymission, @NGOmonitor , Washington Free Beacon, Congressional Reports, and declassified intelligence documents:

#AlJazeera : The Information Laundering Machine Poisoning Western Discourse

THREAD: Why Al Jazeera Must Be Banned in Democratic Societies 🧵

1/20 🚨 INFORMATION LAUNDERING EXPOSED
Al Jazeera operates the most sophisticated antisemitism laundering operation in modern media. Unlike obvious propaganda outlets, they exploit perceived "independence" to inject hate into mainstream discourse. This is how they do it.

Academic research reveals: 90% Qatar government funded, yet cited by Western media as "credible" while RT/CGTN are labeled "state media." This double standard enables systematic manipulation.
2/20 📊 THE PROPAGANDA MODEL IN ACTION
Herman & Chomsky's propaganda model explains Al Jazeera's operation:

Ownership filter: Qatar state control

Sourcing filter: Hamas/terrorist testimonies

Flak filter: Attacks on critics as "Islamophobic"

Ideological filter: Anti-Western, antisemitic worldview

Result: Systematic bias disguised as journalismImage

#UNRWA| The #Hamas Den

🧶1/6. #defundUNRWA #dismantleUNRWA

Dear @secretary45 @antonioguterres @UNLazzarini ,

Q: What do Suhail Ahmed Hassan Al-Hindi, head of UNRWA #Gaza staff union & boys school, and Muhammad Daoud Ismail al-Jamassi, head UNRWA engineer, central Gaza have in common?

A: Well, in 2017 they were elected to the Hamas politburo which was chaired by the Butcher of Khan Yunis.

Let me detail their resume and refresh your memory!
2/6
📣Dr. Suhail Ahmed Hassan al-Hindi holds a PhD from Cairo University (his thesis dealt with improving the conditions of Palestinians teachers under the Israeli "occupation").

👉🏽Since 2012 he has been the chairman of the UNRWA staff union in the Gaza Strip, controlled by Hamas.

👉🏽In 2015 and 2016 he led demonstrations protesting UNRWA's intention to reduce its activities in Gaza because of budget cutbacks. The protests, which included sanctions and strikes in UNRWA institutions in the Strip, were widely covered by the media.

👉🏽In December 2016 the union reached a fundamental understanding  with UNRWA and ended its protests and sanctions (, December 20, 2016)

👉🏽In addition to his role as union chairman, he is also the principal of the %Palestine Boys' Elementary School, an UNRWA school for refugee children.

👉🏽On February 10, 2017, the school held a ceremony honoring students who excelled in their studies. The ceremony was attended by Bo Schack, director of UNRWA operations in the Gaza Strip, who sat on stage and was photographed with Dr. al-Hindi (Facebook page of Yasser Abu Zakariya, February 10, 2017).gazaonline.netImage
Image
3/6
📣 Dr. Suhail al-Hindi's name appeared on the list of the members of Hamas' newly-elected political bureau published in the Palestinian media.

👉🏽After his election had been publicly announced, Dr. al-Hindi issued a series of vigorous denials, claiming he had not been elected to the bureau. He even claimed he planned to sue those responsible for the reports. So far, Hamas has not formally related to the issue of his election.

📣 The election of Dr. Suhail al-Hindi to Hamas' political bureau in the Gaza Strip is another illustration of Hamas' deep penetration into the Gaza Strip's educational system and of the great power of its activists in UNRWA institutions in the Strip.

👉🏽That allows Hamas to systematically indoctrinate Gazan school children with its extremist Islamist ideology. In addition, Hamas' great influence on the educational system in the Gaza Strip enables it to hold paramilitary activities within schools, training young children to join Hamas and the ranks of its military wing.

📣Since Hamas is the power ruling the Gaza Strip, its ideological and military activities in the educational system are not curbed either by UNRWA(which operates many educational and social institutions in the Gaza Strip) or by the Palestinian Authority(which is formally responsible for the educational system in the Gaza Strip, but as in many other governmental areas, its actual influence is limited).Image

BREAKING | #SouthAfrica -“Blood, Bodies and Bullets"
South Africa has brought genocide charges against Israel in the ICJ.

Julius #Malema and other political leaders have threatened to prosecute South Africans who serve in the IDF. They have also welcomed a Hamas leader for an official visit since #Hamas attacked #Israel on Oct. 7.🧶 7/7

🚨Have South African leaders lost their minds? Fix the country first!

1/7
South Africa has one of the highest murder rate of the planet: women account for just 14 % of murder victims, and children account for 5%. But it is men, 81%, who mostly lose their lives to killers. With millions unemployed, breaches of the law have become so common that assaults and even murders often fail to make the news.

South African Jews are leaving South Africa and it has nothing to do with South Africa ranking as the world’s country with the third-highest murder rate, behind only Jamaica and Honduras and six times the U.S. average, with no other African nation even close. Polls show public support for life imprisonment and even for the restoration of the death penalty — scrapped in 1995 — to try to curb the mayhem. Fewer than one in 10 of the more than 23,000 murders committed annually across the country result in an arrest and conviction.
In fact, South African Jews are leaving the country because of its stance toward Israel and also because of a lack of opportunities for their future and

Overwhelmingly, Jews have huge safety concerns about being Jews in South Africa.Image
2/7
Migrants attacked
In recent years there have been attacks on migrants from the rest of the continent, vast numbers of whom have entered illegally over South Africa’s 2,900-mile land border that stretches from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean.Image
3/7
Enough is Enough!

White victims
Attacks on white-owned farms happen almost daily — more than 300 in 2022 with 50 farmers killed — and can be equally grisly. Rape is common and bodies are sometimes left dismembered.
In July, Pretoria-born Elon Musk went on this platform to post his concern about a “genocide of white people” in his home country.

Black victims
Despite the outcry, the murder crisis is even more acute for the country’s black majority, where homicides are more frequent but attract far less media coverage.

Research shows that white South Africans make up around 8% of the population and account for less than 2% of murder victims. Crimes are opportunistic, white farmers are often vulnerable, living on isolated properties far from neighbors or the police. Often the attackers are high on drugs and alcohol, almost always armed with guns, and won't hesitate to kill if they are challenged.Image
