In response to the backlash the “habibi city” package received, @nymag editors said they welcome good-faith discussion and criticism of the piece. Good. Glad to hear it… Here is mine. “membership revoked”— link below… substack.com/@matthewnour...

First queer ideologues told me I'm not queer. Now New York Magazine's "Habibi City" celebrates my region, my culture, and my people... All I have to do to be included is renounce who I am.

CAIR operationalized anti-Jew and anti-Israel campaigns inside the USA. It stems from a coordinated strategy birthed in 1993 that has steadily grown in power and reach. It has one goal: to foment and nurture hatred of Jews. www.instagram.com/reel/DRx-P8t... h/t @matthewnouriel.bsky.social

While Trump bends over backwards to makes deals, the Iranian people are being murdered in cold blood. The Iranian people have been played like a political football for 47 years. For the first time in 47 years they were given real hope, only to be left behind once again.

It takes more than a western leftist “activist” to intimidate an Iranian woman who has faced the regime in Iran… but it says everything about them that they try.

Hashd al-Shaabi —Iraqi militia funded by the regime— boasting that they’re in Tehran. They’ve been brought in to suppress and kill Iranians. Further proof: this regime is not of Iran. It is an imperialist force—an extension of the Arab Islamic conquest that overtook Iran in the 7th century.

Stop calling it “the Iranian regime”. The regime in Iran does not represent anything Iranian. It is not for Iran, of Iran, or by Iran. It’s an occupying force which has hijacked the land, culture, and people of Iran. Please respect this one small ask.

Western “activists” insisting on progress within their own societies while at the same time insisting we support the most regressive ideologies in the Middle East is one of the most egregious forms of racism we are witnessing today.

You were silent when the regime was killing Iranians. Now you’re outraged? In America, criticizing your government is protected speech. In Iran, it can cost you your life. You debate procedure. Iranians survive tyranny. Stop speaking over us.

Matthew Nouriel @matthewnouriel.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Appointing the Islamic Republic of Iran to help “uphold” the UN Charter is like handing a match to an arsonist and calling it fire prevention. The UN keeps legitimizing the regime, and we’re supposed to take them seriously? The UN is a dangerous joke.

1187

Matthew Nouriel @matthewnouriel.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

If you don’t recognize the Islamic Republic in Iran as legitimate, you don’t adopt its language. Calling Prince Reza Pahlavi a “pretender to the throne” only makes sense inside the regime’s own framework for denying his legitimacy. This Language isn’t neutral, and Iranians see it very clearly.

The situation in Iran has exposed how much of today’s western “activism” is driven by aesthetics and tribal belonging rather than principle. Real activism costs social standing, it doesn’t elevate it—and that’s a lesson much of today’s trendy social justice culture still hasn’t learned.

Israelis and Iranians are fighting the same enemy—islamism. No amount of mental gymnastics or pseudo intellectual bullshit spewed by western “activists” will change that.

A full scale war is waging in Iran. One side has weapons, the other has nothing but courage— and 47 years of repression. Neutrality favors the side with weapons. Whose side are you on?

Matthew Nouriel @matthewnouriel.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

What the clout-chasing, Amazon-bought keffiyeh wearing, wannabe “activists” who went hard for Hamas don’t get is that real activism risks your social standing, it doesn’t elevate it. They’re silent about Iran because they’re more concerned about what their comrades think than actual human rights.

“No foreign intervention in Iran” is wrong. The Islamic Republic itself is the foreign intervention. Iranians are asking for help. People should listen to them.

In protests across Iran, one of the chants you hear is “Iran.” It’s a declaration that the people and the regime are not the same thing. Iran ≠ the regime.
