The idea that the people of Iran aren’t even a factor to US envoy Steve Witkoff, and that he is naive enough to believe literally anything that comes out of FM Aragchi’s mouth… is proof he isn’t the man who should be communicating with the Islamic republic!

So apparently the woman who grilled Shapiro about whether he was an Israeli double agent was literally doing PR work for the government of Qatar.

In the face of surging antisemitism across New York state — fueled by incessant illegal demonstrations in support of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah — Attorney General Letitia James jumped into the fray to prosecute … Jews.
James’ office announced last week that she’s concluded an agreement with Betar — a small and obscure Zionist group that advocates for Jewish safety and self-determination — forcing it to cease operations in New York.
The AG says Betar engaged in a “campaign of violence, harassment, and intimidation against Arab, Muslim, and Jewish New Yorkers.”
Among the group’s activities were counter-protesting at pro-Palestinian demonstrations, bestowing mock beepers on pro-Hamas protesters to taunt them about Israel’s pager attacks and making vulgar, slur-filled “public and private statements.”
James’ office subpoenaed Betar members’ text messages and combed through them looking for nasty language, which the AG then proffered as evidence of the group’s quasi-criminal profile.
Worst of all, says the AG, Betar called on supporters to “fight back” at an anti-Zionist protest called “Flood Boro Park” last February.
That demonstration, organized by Pal-Awda — the same group that chanted “We support Hamas here!” outside a Queens synagogue this month — was named in honor of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” Hamas’ code name for its savage Oct. 7 incursion into Israel.
Katz wrote a poem that captures the kind of pain no parent should ever know:
“Tell me… how do you eulogize a baby?
G-d — how do you eulogize a baby?
Do you speak about how much he loved tickles and kisses?
About his little smiles… and the moments he almost cried?
About how playful he was,
Or which pacifier was his favorite?
Do you measure a life in ounces and milestones —
How much he weighed, and when he began to crawl?
And tell me, G-d…
What do pure souls do in the Heaven of Babies?
Do angels paint pictures of laughing mothers?
Do they sit among the tzaddikim in a circle,
tiny hearts once full of life,
sharing stories of the End of Days?
And tell me, G-d…
Aren’t the Heavens too vast up there
for a baby so small —
a child who only knew how to crawl?”
According to reports, the deadly incident struck a privately run, unlicensed daycare operating out of a home in Jerusalem, leaving two infants dead and dozens of children injured. Emergency crews rushed in, treating babies and toddlers on scene and evacuating them to hospitals as investigators worked to determine what caused the tragedy.
While the cause remains under investigation, reports of a gas leaking from the heating system have been attributed to the deaths.

Israel Prize laureate Zubin Mehta slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's "occupation" of Palestine in an interview with India Today, calling on people in the arts to speak out on political issues.
The comments were shown during a preview of the interview earlier this week, with the full interview slated to be broadcast on India's Republic Day, January 26.
The interviewer asked Mehta whether he believed that music could be separated from politics.
"I can't, and I never have," he answered, noting that many of his colleagues take the same view.
"I canceled all my engagements in Israel this year because of my objection to [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's way of treating the whole Palestinian issue," he noted.
"I hope that [Netanyahu's policy] finishes. I hope he is outvoted at the next election," he commented.
"We must, and we do [take a stand on political issues,]" he continued. "Many of my colleagues turn a blind eye, but I can't agree with them."
The interviewer noted that Mehta has been vocal about Israel's "occupation of Palestine" in the past, and that he stood up for Argentinian-born Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim, who faced boycotts from Israel's political echelon for producing compositions of German conductor Wagner in Israeli orchestras.
Barenboim notably took up Palestinian citizenship, and Wagner was a favored composer of Nazi leadership, including Adolf Hitler, for his usage of German mythological imagery and folklore.
"Do you believe a day would come when you would have an orchestra with Israelis and Palestinians together?" the interviewer asked.
"I have that now. I toured Spain, Italy, and Austria with an orchestra called the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra [co-founded by Barenboim and Palestinian political activist Edward Said] made of Israelis and Palestinians who sit together, get along well, and make music without any problems."
He also commented that he never knew what antisemitism was in India until he moved to Vienna and his landlord told him he could not invite Jewish friends to his house.
The protests were against doing an autopsy to find the cause of death of the 2 children, because of "Kavod Hames"
What about "Koved" for those alive?
A Chareidie protester has been wounded after he was run over by a vehicle at a demonstration in Jerusalem, Israel.
A 17-year-old haredi youth was killed Tuesday afternoon after being struck by a bus near the entrance to the southern Israeli community of Komemiyut, emergency services said.
