The world screams for a "Free Palestine" yet conveniently ignores the four distinct times “Palestinian” leaders refused to free themselves. In 1937, 1947, 2000, and 2008, the door to statehood was wide open. They slammed it shut. We are told that Israel is the obstacle to peace. We are told the land was stolen. However, the historical ledger shows a different reality. It shows a century of Israeli pragmatism colliding with “Palestinian” ideological purity. In 1937, the Peel Commission offered the Arabs a state on the vast majority of the land. The Jewish leadership accepted a tiny fraction of the territory because they prioritized sovereignty over size. The Arab leadership rejected it entirely. They wanted it all. In 1947, the United Nations proposed a partition. Again, the Jews accepted the compromise. Again, Arab leaders chose war over independence. This pattern repeated in 2000 and 2008. Israeli Prime Ministers offered statehood, including almost all of the West Bank and shared control of Jerusalem. These were not symbolic gestures. They were detailed, viable offers for independence. Each time, the answer was rejection, silence, or violence. As an Iranian, I recognize the architecture of this tragedy better than most. I see the fingerprints of the Islamic Republic in this strategy. The regime in Tehran treats the Palestinian people not as a nation to be built, but as a weapon to be wielded against the West. They need perpetual conflict to justify their own radical existence, so they ensure their proxies choose "resistance" over results every single time. There is a profound difference between being robbed and losing a bet. The tragedy of the “Palestinian” cause is not that they were stripped of their land. It is that their leaders, encouraged by foreign puppet masters, repeatedly gambled their children's future on a game of "all or nothing" and lost. You cannot reject the deed to a house on four separate occasions and then claim you are homeless because the locks were changed. That is not oppression. That is the consequence of a century of saying no.

My article just got published. The leftist newspaper Haaretz recently claimed that Iranian support for Prince Reza Pahlavi is fake. They want you to believe it is all Israeli bots and AI. They are lying. I have received hundreds of videos from inside Iran where people are filming themselves just to prove they exist. This piece presents the raw evidence that debunks their narrative and shows how easily the media spreads regime propaganda.

The most dangerous lie of the 21st century was that all cultures are interchangeable. Sweden is the irrefutable proof that they are not. As an Iranian who watched my own country fall to extremism, the tragedy unfolding in Scandinavia feels like a recurring nightmare. I have seen a civilization commit suicide before, and the symptoms are always the same: a fatal tolerance for those who explicitly wish to dismantle your way of life. We are witnessing the total collapse of a utopian fantasy. Sweden now rivals nations like Mexico in bombing frequency for a country not officially at war. This is not merely a crime wave. It is the sound of a society fracturing under the weight of imported conflict. It echoes the silence that eventually fell over my own homeland when the vibrancy of culture was traded for the rigidity of dogma. Sweden is the canary in the coal mine. It demonstrates that tolerance cannot extend to the intolerant.
