(Worthy News) – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei launched a blistering attack against U.S. President Donald Trump during a televised address in Tehran, denouncing the American leader as a liar and warmonger, while supporters chanted “death to America,” “death to England,” and “death to Israel.”

The speech, captured and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), came as the Trump administration continues negotiations aimed at forging a new nuclear deal with Iran. Khamenei dismissed Trump’s claims that U.S. power is being used to bring peace to the Middle East, accusing the U.S. of using its influence to ignite wars and support proxies across the region.

“Some of the things the U.S. president said in his recent visit to the region are not even worthy of a response,” Khamenei stated. “Trump said that he wanted to use power for peace. He is lying.” He added, “[Trump] and other senior officials in the American administration have used power to perpetrate a massacre in Gaza, to stir up war wherever they could, and in order to support their mercenaries.”

As Khamenei spoke, the crowd erupted in repeated chants: “Allah Akbar! Khamenei is the Leader! Death to those who oppose the Rule of the Jurisprudent! Death to America! Death to England! Death to the hypocrites and infidels! Death to Israel!”

Amid the fiery rhetoric, the Iranian leader made clear that Iran would continue to build its power in defiance of U.S. efforts to restrict its nuclear program. “We will increase our power and the power of our country every day, whether the enemies like it or not,” he declared.

Khamenei also reiterated his regime’s hostility toward Israel, referring to the Jewish state as “the lethal cancerous tumor of the region.” He declared, “It has to be uprooted, and it will be uprooted for certain,” prompting the crowd to shout, “Death to Israel!” in unison.

The comments follow President Trump’s recent Middle East tour, during which he announced deals totaling an estimated $2 trillion in trade and investment across the region. While Trump seeks a new accord with Iran to prevent it from acquiring a nuclear weapon, his administration has taken a hard line on enrichment.

U.S. Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff said Sunday on ABC’s This Week that, “We have one very, very clear red line, and that is enrichment. We cannot allow even 1% of an enrichment capability… because enrichment enables weaponization, and we will not allow a bomb to get here.”

As both sides dig in, the stark contrast between Trump’s diplomatic outreach and Khamenei’s militant declarations highlights the escalating tension—and raises the growing likelihood that Trump’s military option may be triggered, especially as the two-month ultimatum he issued to Iran to enter negotiations nears its deadline.

(Worthy News) – For the first time in weeks, anti-Hamas protests erupted in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on Monday, with hundreds of residents taking to the streets amid escalating military activity. Protesters could be seen in footage released by local media chanting, “Stop the war and the displacement! Hamas out!”

This demonstration marked a significant escalation of public frustration with Hamas, which has ruled the coastal enclave since 2007. While smaller protests have occurred in the north in recent weeks, the demonstration in Khan Younis signals growing civilian unrest as living conditions continue to deteriorate.

Simultaneously, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a sweeping evacuation order for the city, declaring all of Khan Younis a “combat zone.” Residents were instructed to evacuate to the al-Mawasi area ahead of what was described by the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson as an “unprecedented offensive.”

Media reports from Al Arabiya indicated that thousands have already begun evacuating the area on foot, with footage circulating showing residents carrying their belongings through damaged streets. According to UNRWA and local testimonies, compliance with evacuation orders has been inconsistent in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, humanitarian concerns remain dire. The World Health Organization’s Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, “The risk of famine in Gaza is increasing with the deliberate withholding of humanitarian aid.” Aid groups have warned that over two million people are facing starvation as military operations escalate.

Despite these warnings, the IDF has stepped up operations in Khan Younis and elsewhere as part of Operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” with airstrikes reported in Deir al-Balah, Bani Suhelia, and Gaza City.

(Worthy News) – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on Monday that it is expanding operations across the Gaza Strip under its renewed offensive “Gideon’s Chariots,” including intensified airstrikes and targeted operations in Khan Younis and beyond. A spokesperson stated, “The IDF is in the midst of Operation ‘Gideon’s Chariots’ and is operating throughout the Gaza Strip.”

The military struck several locations on Monday night, including Deir al-Balah, south of Nuseirat, and Gaza City. Combat Engineers from the elite Yahalom Unit also destroyed a tunnel in Rafah that had been used to kill two IDF soldiers earlier in May — Captain Noam Ravid and Staff Sergeant Yaly Seror.

In Khan Younis, the IDF attempted to capture Ahmed Kamel Sarhan, a senior commander in the Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, Gaza’s third-largest terror group. Hamas reported that Sarhan “thwarted” the arrest attempt and was “martyred in direct confrontation.” The IDF, however, said there was “no change in the situational assessment.”

In addition to military operations, the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. Though 50 trucks carrying flour, oil, and legumes were expected to enter Gaza on Monday, and nine more with baby food, observers at the Kerem Shalom crossing reported no visible activity by late morning. UNRWA declined to comment.

Israeli Foreign Ministry director Eden Bar Tal said, “Today, Israel is facilitating the entry of trucks with baby food into Gaza,” adding that “in the coming days, Israel will facilitate the entry of dozens of aid trucks.” However, he offered no specifics on quantities, timing, or exact entry points.

The aid effort is complicated by fears that Hamas will seize the supplies. Netanyahu said that IDF-secured distribution points under U.S. oversight would begin operating “in a few days,” but until then, temporary deliveries would continue to prevent mass starvation among Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.

Worthy News) – A 74-year-old grandmother arrested under Scotland’s newly enacted abortion “buffer zone” law is pushing back against proposed expansions, warning the legislation is being used to “crack down harshly and unfairly” on peaceful pro-life voices.

Rose Docherty became the first person charged under the Abortion Services Act 2024 after standing silently outside Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow this past February. Holding a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want,” Docherty says she intended to offer a listening ear–not intimidation.

“I gave consideration to what I was doing … I looked at the law and saw what it said I couldn’t do,” Docherty told the Scotcast podcast from BBC Scotland. “And thought … I can offer to listen, and if anyone wants to come and speak to me, they can do so, only if they want to come and speak with me.”

The act, introduced by Scottish Green Party Member of Parliament Gillian Mackay and implemented in September 2024, prohibits any conduct deemed to be “influencing the decision of another person to access, provide or facilitate the provision of abortion services” within 200 meters of designated clinics. It also criminalizes behavior that causes “harassment, alarm, or distress” in that context.

“There was nothing in my conduct or sign that could reasonably be considered harassing, alarming, and distressing,” Docherty insisted in a separate conversation with Christian legal advocacy group ADF International.

Mackay praised law enforcement’s swift response to Docherty’s arrest, stating, “I am grateful to Police Scotland for acting so quickly … This kind of intimidation has no place in a modern or progressive Scotland.”

Mackay has since proposed expanding the zones due to ongoing pro-life demonstrations just outside the protected boundaries. “I think it’s appropriate that we take those concerns seriously and the government take a look at whether an extension is appropriate or not,” she said. However, she acknowledged that any expansion must be justified by ministers first.

Docherty is skeptical of the government’s intentions, suggesting pro-lifers will be targeted regardless of distance. “It wouldn’t matter where we stood—201 meters or 500 meters away—it seems the authorities would still try to crack down harshly and unfairly on individuals because the government simply disagrees with their point of view. This is unjust.”

Concerns about the law’s scope have grown as similar arrests mount across the UK. In England, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested twice for praying silently near abortion clinics. In Northern Ireland, a retired Baptist pastor was charged after preaching a sermon on John 3:16 within a buffer zone.

ADF International’s Scottish spokesperson, Lois McLatchie Miller, says the buffer zone law stifles fundamental rights. “The ‘buffer zones’ law is fundamentally flawed when it comes to undermining basic freedoms of speech, thought, and religion,” Miller said. “We all stand firmly against harassment, which is already illegal–but the law goes far beyond that in preventing people from praying or holding consensual conversations in large public areas of Scotland.”

The Scottish government confirmed that ministers can expand buffer zones if current protections are insufficient. In a controversial moment during Scotcast, Mackay was asked whether “performative prayer” through a window could be considered a violation. Her response: “It depends on who’s passing the window.”

 “Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)

The Torah and the Gospel actually do not promise paradise to those who fight in the way of God and kill and are killed. That idea is in the Qur’an only.

Even after this, however, no law enforcement or intelligence officials will dare to consider the possibility that the Qur’an itself is the source of “radicalization.”

New Orleans ISIS terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar had bomb-making station and Quran open to chilling passage in his home, new photos reveal,” by Jennie Taer, Chris Nesi and Alex Oliveira, New York Post, January 2, 2025:

HOUSTON – ISIS-inspired New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar kept a bomb-making workbench in his ramshackle Texas trailer home — where a Quran was left open on a page about “slaying” in the name of Allah, exclusive photos obtained by The Post show.
Jabbar’s north Houston home was filled with chemical residue and chemical bottles, while an inventory of items seized by the FBI — left behind by investigators who raided his house on Wednesday — included a long list of compounds used in bomb-making.
His Quran was propped atop a bookshelf, a centerpiece in his living room, and open to a passage reading, “they fight in Allah’s cause, and slay and are slain; a promise binding…”
That passage, Verse 9:111, expounds on Muslims’ responsibility to kill Allah’s enemies, and to be willing to die for that mission in return for eternity in paradise.
Numerous books about Islam were also on the shelf and around the squalid home, while a prayer rug was rolled up nearby.
FBI officials on Thursday said Jabbar posted five disturbing videos on Facebook on his drive from Houston to New Orleans just hours before he unleashed carnage on Bourbon Street, leaving 14 innocent pedestrians dead.
In the first disturbing video — posted at 1:29 a.m. — the US Army veteran said he had initially planned on murdering his family and friends, but changed his mind over concerns that the resulting media coverage wouldn’t focus on the “war between the believers and disbelievers,” FBI counterterrorism official Chris Raia said.
In other videos, he said he had joined ISIS “before this summer” and showed off his last will and testament.
Investigators confirmed that Jabbar, 42, was ideologically aligned with ISIS and that he specifically chose Bourbon Street as the target of his monstrous act of terror.
However, they have yet to piece together what precisely brought about his radicalization….
The FBI revealed that Jabbar acted alone in the attack after poring over his social media accounts, conducting “hundreds” of interviews with witnesses and searching three cellphones and two laptops recovered from an Airbnb on Mandeville Street in New Orleans linked to the terror suspect….

25 years was the maximum sentence. AP says that “Matar next faces a US federal trial on terrorism-related charges. While the first, state-level trial focused mostly on the details of the knife attack itself, the next one is expected to delve into the more complicated issue of motive.”

Matar’s motive is completely clear and straightforward. He wanted to kill Rushdie for insulting Islam. Because the leftist intelligentsia wants to conceal the possibility that anyone would do such a thing, the motive suddenly becomes “complicated.”

"Man who stabbed author Salman Rushdie in 2022 sentenced to 25 years in prison,” by Carolyn Thompson, Associated Press, May 16, 2025:

MAYVILLE, New York (AP) — A man who attacked Salman Rushdie with a knife in front of a stunned audience in 2022, leaving the prizewinning author blind in one eye, was sentenced Friday to 25 years in prison.
Hadi Matar, 27, stood quietly as the judge pronounced the sentence. He did not deny attacking Rushdie, and when he was invited to address the court before being sentenced, Matar got in a few last insults at the writer. He said he believed in freedom of speech but called Rushdie “a hypocrite.”
“Salman Rushdie wants to disrespect other people,” said Matar, clad in white-striped jail clothing and wearing handcuffs. “He wants to be a bully, he wants to bully other people. I don’t agree with that.”…
A jury found Matar guilty of attempted murder and assault in February after deliberating for less than two hours….
Schmidt, the prosecutor, said Matar deserved the maximum sentence of 25 years, saying Matar “designed this attack so that he could inflict the most amount of damage, not just upon Mr. Rushdie, but upon this community, upon the 1,400 people who were there to watch it.”
Matar next faces a US federal trial on terrorism-related charges. While the first, state-level trial focused mostly on the details of the knife attack itself, the next one is expected to delve into the more complicated issue of motive. He has pleaded not guilty. If convicted of the federal charges, Matar faces a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Authorities said Matar, a dual American-Lebanese citizen, was attempting to carry out a decades-old fatwa, or Islamic legal ruling, when he traveled from his home in Fairview, New Jersey, to target Rushdie at the summer retreat about 70 miles (110 kilometers) southwest of Buffalo.
Matar believed the fatwa that called for Rushdie’s death, first issued by Iran’s then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, was backed by Iran’s Lebanese proxy Hezbollah and endorsed in a 2006 speech by the group’s slain chief Hassan Nasrallah, according to US federal prosecutors….

In 135 A.D., following the suppression of the revolt by the Maccabees, the Roman overlords of what was then called Judaea decided to change its name to “Syria Palaestina” — “Syria of the Philistines” — which was then shortened to “Palestine.” The Romans wanted to efface, through a change of toponym, the connection of the Jews to the land that was made obvious in the place name “Judaea.” They also attempted to change the name “Jerusalem” to “Aelia Capitolina” but, unlike “Palestine,” that place name never caught on.

During the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, the Arab Legion of Jordan — led by British officers under John Bagot Glubb (“Glubb Pasha”) — managed to seize and hold onto the territory that had been known, for more than 3,000 years, not just to the Jewish people but to everyone in the Western world, as “Judea and Samaria.” It would never do, the Jordanian Arabs believed, to continue to use the toponyms “Judea and Samaria,” which would remind people of who had inhabited that territory for millennia. So, like the Romans with their toponymic change — “Judaea” becoming “Palestine” — nearly 1800 years before, the Jordanians, after a year of reflection (the war officially ended in 1949), in 1950 decided to replace “Judea and Samaria” with the place name “West Bank.” It is a most peculiar appellation. After all, the riparian zone along a river is usually envisioned as of a uniform width, but the Jordanians’ “West Bank” is shaped like an ear. The Jordanians, and their fellow Arabs, by dint of repetition, made sure that “West Bank” was used so often, came more trippingly off the tongue than “Judea and Samaria” (it helped that people were uncertain whether “Judea and Samaria” were two distinct places, inked by a conjunction, or constituted one territory) and stuck so well in the popular mind, that it pushed “Judea and Samaria” out of common usage, save by the Israelis themselves. Even non-Israeli Jews now use the term “West Bank.”

People outside of Israel, including orthodox Jews and evangelical Christians, who persisted in using “Judea and Samaria,” found that “West Bank” had become so widely adopted that it was they who experienced a certain self-consciousness about using “Judea and Samaria.” “West Bank” is now used everywhere; it is up to us to undo that offense to history. When the Western media reports on Israelis, especially on those much-maligned “settlers,” they are often described as “using the Biblical terms Judea and Samaria,” as if that made such usage illegitimate. In other words, the fact that these place names had been used for three millennia by Jews and the rest of the Western world was not a point in their favor, but rather, was held against them. Amusing, isn’t it, that those people who would dismiss the use of “Judea and Samaria” because they are Biblical names have no objection to using the toponym “Gaza,” which is also a place name found in the Bible.

Now Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York have introduced a bill requiring the U.S. government to drop that preposterous “West Bank,” and to use the venerable, correct, imbued with history, place names “Judea and Samaria.” It’s an important bill; if it passes, it will put back into general circulation, by government fiat, “Judea and Samaria.” If every time a government official, from Trump and Rubio on down, gives a press conference, or holds a Congressional hearing, uses the terms “Judea and Samaria,” it will be an important victory, with the world being reminded that this territory has for more than three millennia been linked to the Jewish people; it was in Judea and Samaria, not in Haifa and Tel Aviv, where their history was made.

More about the legislation introduced Tom Cotton when he announced his resolution can be found here.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today introduced the Retiring the Egregious Confusion Over the Genuine Name of Israel’s Zone of Influence by Necessitating Government-use of Judea and Samaria (RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria) Act, legislation to require all official U.S. documents and materials to use the historically accurate term “Judea and Samaria” instead of the “West Bank”. This bill would require the use of historically accurate terminology and align U.S. policy language with the geographical and cultural significance of the region. This legislation was introduced in the House by Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-New York).
“The Jewish people’s legal and historic rights to Judea and Samaria goes back thousands of years. The U.S. should stop using the politically charged term West Bank to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel,” said Senator Cotton.
“The Israeli people have an undeniable and indisputable historical and legal claim over Judea and Samaria, and at this critical moment in history, the United States must reaffirm this,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “This bill reaffirms Israel’s rightful claim to its territory. I remain committed to defending the integrity of the Jewish state and fully supporting Israel’s sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.”

To some this will seem a minor matter. “Words, words, words,” as Hamlet said to Polonius. It is not. It is important to escort back into common usage the words, including place names, that the Arabs have managed to push aside and replaced with others that diminish or efface altogether, the Jewish link to the land. Senator Cotton and Congresswoman Tenney deserve the gratitude of all those who care about history and the truth.

Islam hates dogs. Turkey has recently also been killing dogs in large numbers.

“Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50

“Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih Muslim 3811

“Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551

Man appears in court charged with cruelty and fraud after 37 dogs found dead at ‘Save a Paw UK’ rescue centre during police raid over ‘missing animals,'” by Andrew Levy and Jon Austin, Daily Mail, May 15, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A dog rescue centre owner appeared in court today charged with four offences of animal cruelty and fraud after the remains of 37 dead dogs were found at his premises.
Police, RSPCA officers and council staff raided Save A Paw UK in Crays Hill, Essex, on Tuesday following concerns about ‘missing’ pets at the organisation run from Oaveed Rahman’s home.
Southend Magistrates Court heard that Rahman, 25, who gave his first name as Obi, took in animals from owners who could no longer keep them, with the promise of rehoming them for a fee.
He is charged with one count of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal between November 1, 2024, and May 14, 2025, by a failure to act, in that he failed to keep alive 37 dogs, and he knew or ought to have known the effects or likely effects.
It was also alleged that between December 25, 2024, and May 1, 2025, he falsely represented to a woman that he was running a charitable organisation involved in the rehoming of dogs intending to cause her a loss or a risk of a loss.
A second fraud charge, relating to a period between November 28, 2024, and May 14, 2025, started he fraudulently represented that he had rehomed a dog, intending to cause an individual a loss or a risk of a loss.
The third fraud charge was that between January 31 and May 14, 2025, Rahman fraudulently represented that he had rehomed another dog causing an individual a loss or a risk of loss.
Rahman, dressed in a grey tracksuit, denied all four charges.
Prosecutor Rebecca Debenham said: ‘He set up and represented as a charity Save a Paw UK offering services to those who had dogs and wanted the dogs to be rehomed.
‘He took payments on the understanding he would rehome them, but unfortunately that was not the case.
‘At Mr Rahman’s home, where police and partners attended, the bodies of 37 dogs were found with other dogs living in his garden.’ …

 And these endorsers of genocidal Jew-hatred went away thinking they were on the side of righteousness. 

Single photo of Sydney University students turning their backs on their Jewish peers sparks furious backlash,” by Caitlin Powell, Daily Mail Australia, May 17, 2025:

A photo of University of Sydney students turning their backs on a Jewish speaker who denounced Hamas has been slammed as a demonstration of ‘contempt’.
During the Student Representative Council’s general meeting on Wednesday, the group Students Against War called to reject a nationwide definition of antisemitism.
Adopted by Universities Australia, the definition has said criticism of Israel can be antisemitic ‘when it calls for the elimination of the State of Israel’.
‘Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. That’s why there is no such thing as a two-state solution,’ a council member told the crowd of 200 students.
‘That’s why the obvious solution is a one-state solution. There’s no such thing as Jewish self determination in Israel.’
Postgraduate student Kovi Rose, who is the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, had attended the meeting to speak against the motion.
‘I pleaded with the room of nearly 200 students to vote based on well-reasoned and fact-based arguments,’ he said.
‘But this prompted nearly the entire audience to stand up and turn their backs on me.’…

 (Worthy Insights) – For the first time in decades, Israeli archaeologists resumed excavations at Sebastia on Monday, aiming to preserve what was once the capital of the Biblical Kingdom of Israel and make it accessible to the public.

“Right now, we work on preserving what previous excavations have uncovered,” Eyal Freiman, Staff Officer of Archaeology at the Civil Administration for Judea and Samaria, which is responsible for excavations in the area, told The Press Service of Israel.

“The works are currently centered around one of the main streets of the city with the ‘Hellenistic Gate,’ with dozens of columns along it. The goal is to make the area accessible to the public.”
