That regime is executing its own citizens in massive numbers&mdash;simply for opposing persecution and expressing dissent.</p><p> </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n    >\n        <a class=\"release-content-image__link\"\n           id=\"image-4f99c7e2-26fc-4d28-9032-9b0453e00abc\"\n           href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Romans-911-Time-Sound-Alarm/dp/1951492838/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2IZCTUNLUMDK7&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WTHi3FU9aLjFWSGZCumIERLpJbklp9kHgZ8e_PINWK0.Y_7L_Jz2MKQJ8nGWigpRpkAeI8U0764ANrnY2T7JIBU&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=grant+berry+romans+911&amp;qid=1773405456&amp;sprefix=grant+berry+romans+91%2Caps%2C132&amp;sr=8-1\"\n           data-id=\"4f99c7e2-26fc-4d28-9032-9b0453e00abc\"\n           data-track=\"Story Image View\"\n           data-placement=\"content\"\n                            target=\"_blank\"\n                rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n                       style=\"width: 40.97%\"\n        >\n            <img\n                class=\"release-content-image__image\"\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/4f99c7e2-26fc-4d28-9032-9b0453e00abc/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"\"\n                            >\n        </a>\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Romans-911-Time-Sound-Alarm/dp/1951492838/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2IZCTUNLUMDK7&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WTHi3FU9aLjFWSGZCumIERLpJbklp9kHgZ8e_PINWK0.Y_7L_Jz2MKQJ8nGWigpRpkAeI8U0764ANrnY2T7JIBU&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=grant+berry+romans+911&amp;qid=1773405456&amp;sprefix=grant+berry+romans+91%2Caps%2C132&amp;sr=8-1\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ROMANS 911</strong></a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><a href=\"https://reconnectingministries.org/ff-ebook/\"><strong>Click here to download the illuminating new booklet Foundations for the Foundation</strong></a></p><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Iran executes its own citizens for dissent; Israel does not</span></li></ul><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Israel accused of Intolerance; look at their neighbors for context</span></li></ul><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Antisemitism thrives on misleading narratives.</span></li></ul><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Context changes how conflicts are understood.</span></li></ul><p> </p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Watch Iran to see the <strong>REAL</strong> brutality.</span></li></ul><p> </p><p>Antisemitism is often fueled by misleading messaging that plays on plausible negativity&mdash;but reality tells a different story.
