Exposé: “Pro-Resistance” Figure Jonathan Azaziah Fully Jewish, Pretends to Be Half-Iraqi

Jonathan Azaziah, a public figure in the pro-Islamic resistance camp who claims to be half-Iraqi on his father’s side and who is well known for exposing the truth about the disturbing beliefs of Judaism, has been revealed to be of a fully Jewish ethnic background and has lied about his father being an Iraqi Arab Shi’a. His father was an Ashkenazi Jew named Bruce Bennett Goldiner. The names Azaziah and Goldiner are both listed as legal last names on publicly-available phone book listings in the US, such as the well-known White Pages.

Additionally, Azaziah itself is not an Arabic last name. Rather, it is a Hebrew name found in the Jewish Bible, meaning “strength of Yahweh.” This spelling is Latinized and the actual Hebrew pronunciation is Azazyahu.

You heard correctly. The supposed go-to source and guru for all things about understanding the Jewish issue is a man named Azazyahu and Goldiner who hides this fact and pretends to be half-Arab.

In the Islamic worldview, all children are born pure and innocent on the fitra (innate disposition towards goodness) that God has granted all human beings. It is what happens after they are born and if they are guided or misguided which will affect if they grow up to be righteous or wicked. No race or ethnicity is born evil or cursed. Therefore, it is not the issue in and of itself that he comes from parents whom both are Jewish. The issue is that he is lying about it and hiding it. That is a major red flag. To be of an ethnic Jewish background is not an issue; what is an issue is being ideologically Jewish, meaning to adhere to a sense of racial supremacism and distorting divine laws.

After all, the Zionist spy Catherine Shakdam hid her Jewish identity in order to infiltrate pro-resistance media and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Most of us thought she was a regular Anglo-Saxon lady from the UK. It never dawned on me the real reason Shakdam attacked and insulted me during a panel discussion on a YouTube talkshow because I brought up the history of the Jewish role in the African slave trade and the anti-black racism found within the Jewish Talmud, as the subject was about “israeli” abuse of African migrants. Shakdam also similarly hid part of her last name too — Perez, which is an obviously Sephardic Jewish last name just like the Zionist war criminal Shimon Perez. Her role as an infiltrator may have only been known to a small circle of people, as the Anti-Defamation League and other Zionist organizations had attacked her in the media, despite her secretly being on their team.

Another similar historical precedent for this is Dan Burros, who rose to the top ranks within the KKK and American Nazi Party before a New York Times investigation revealed that he was secretly Jewish and had deliberately hid his identity. Burros committed suicide shortly after the report was published, so it is not clear if he was a spy or if he was just mentally deranged. Burros would often engage in quite over-the-top and theatrical antics, such as carrying a bar of soap in his pocket with the label saying “made of 100% Jew fat.” Even other neo-Nazis felt uncomfortable by his in-your-face approach.

Obviously, we shouldn’t be overly-suspicious of people without evidence. Perhaps these types of people want to poison the well, figuratively speaking, so that sincere people are unfairly subjected to baseless suspicions due to past traumas of dealing with infiltrators. But when the evidence exists, it is very, very hard to look away, and such evidences make any smear campaigns by the Zionist media against them null and void.

If Jonathan was honest and transparent about his background, then there would be no issue. He sometimes is transparent about his mother being Jewish. Rather, it is the fact that he lies about his father being an Iraqi Arab that raises red flags and question marks. Even worse, those who have asked him about these discrepancies in a fair and just manner, such as approaching him privately and without making any assumptions up front, are given unbelievable answers and then personally attacked by him and his cult followers when the person who asks questions doesn’t buy his half-baked responses.

The goal of exposing this about Jonathan Azaziah/Azazyahu/Goldiner is not to discredit the facts he has stated about what Jews believe in and their disproportionate overrepresentation in various key areas of power around the globe. Those are all facts which can easily be found in publicly-available academic and historical sources and such a person doesn’t need to have a monopoly on it.

The goal of this is to expose how he tells deep truths about issues that few are brave enough to talk about in order to gain the trust of people so that he can spread fitna (sedition) and abject pessimism against the Islamic Republic of Iran, such as painting the Leader as a weak and powerless figurehead overrun by the liberal “reformist” fifth column, and generally embarrass the religion of Islam, the resistance front, and even research on the Jewish issue itself through his over-the-top, theatrical, and hyperbolic antics, which includes as of recently posting softcore Japanese anime pornography on his Telegram channel.

Judaism vs. Zionism

When it comes to these types of contentious issues, it is important to note that most people who say “Judaism is not the same as Zionism” are well-intentioned. The primary smear tactic of the Zionists against those who condemn their heinous crimes is “antisemitism,” which means to accuse their opponents of racism. Racism is both irrational and unjust. As was said, people cannot control how or where they were born. What they can control, however, is their actions and beliefs which justify such actions.

Using such a slogan is a means in which people want to deflect the false accusation of racism. After all, the Zionist media has made a boogeyman out of World War 2 — whose events are under constant academic review by many experts in the field, such as the late Dr. Robert Faurisson — and since Germany and its allies ascribed to the biological determinist view of Jews, i.e. that they are born cursed and nothing can change them, they are attempting to graft that racialist view onto the rest of the critics of Judaism and Zionism.

Despite this worldview, the Germans did not systematically kill Jews. Rather, they rounded them up into work camps to support the war economy (the ethics of collective punishment is of course questionable) and it is counter-productive to mass murder those who produce military products in labor camp factories. In fact, the German view of race was less severe than the American approach to race. The idea of scapegoating the Germans as the worst of all people on earth is historically inaccurate. Comparing and contrasting all acts of evil and all tyrannical systems to Germany and Hitler is a reinforcement of Jewish supremacy, because if they are the “chosen race,” then all suffering is not as important as their suffering (real or imagined).

The biological determinist view of Jews is a much newer phenomena which took root in European society following the secular liberal “enlightenment” age which saw the separation of church and state and, relevant to this subject, the introduction of “scientific racism,” which is associated with biological determinism (that each race is born with certain characteristics that it cannot escape from). Ironically, it was Jewish members of European society who supported the rise of liberal ideals because it would topple the rule of the Christian Churches, due to their hatred for Jesus Christ and Christianity. They ended up unleashing a golem that would later bite them in the rear.

Prior to liberalism and scientific racism, Catholics viewed Jews from a matter of the soul and beliefs, which can repent and change, rather than being imprisoned by the circumstances of their births. So long as a Jew converted to Christianity (or at least didn’t spread corruption on earth), they were tolerated. Unfortunately, forced conversions created more problems than it solved, because it created generations of Conversos/Marranos who only pretended to be Christian but held on to the beliefs of their distorted religion.

Islam has a similar view: it does not hold enmity against Jews as a race of people, rather it opposes the distortion of religion and the wicked acts that such distorted teachings justify. It is rational and fair to be against wicked beliefs and actions. If a Jewish person sincerely converts to Islam, then it is not important what their ethnic background is.

Therefore, the “antisemitism” slander holds no weight with the majority of critics of Judaism and Zionism, primarily because most normal people abhor racism and biological determinism and additionally, the majority of Jews are not even Semitic.

However, it is impossible to ignore that racial supremacism is at the core of the distortion of the pure religion of Moses, and without the notion of a “chosen race,” nothing much remains of the Jewish faith. Even the original Hebrew Israelites were not known as Jews. That moniker likely took form after the death of Prophet Solomon (a) when his enemies refused to accept the divinely-appointed successor and started a civil war, which a separate kingdom split off and named themselves Judea, after the evil brother of Prophet Joseph, Judah.

The original religion of the Israelite prophets was Islam (literal meaning: pure submission to God), albeit in the Hebrew equivalent as they are related languages. Just as Arabic is based on root words which can form various different words — such as Islam, tasleem, salaam, and others being from the same root word — a similar root word can be found in the Hebrew language and thus the equivalent of the word Islam can be found, and that is what the original religion of Moses would have likely been called. Therefore, Judaism itself is the distortion of the religion of Moses and was transformed into a racist and exclusivist religion that views the rest of humanity as inferior to them.

A recent poll showed that 82% of “israeli” Jews supported the ethnic cleansing of all of Gaza. Imagine if 82% of Muslims supported ISIS.

Therefore, whether the criticism is leveled against Zionism or even Judaism, at least on the side of Muslims and Christians, we do not view it from a racist or biological determinist perspective. Biological determinism is the baggage of the post-enlightenment European society (ironically, Judaism also ascribes to biological determinism), and not the baggage of the Islamic world, nor of the Christian era of European society.

This legitimate field of study and conversation, which is the examination of Jewish beliefs as the distortion of divine values that do not at all represent the teachings of the holy Israelite prophets, is mocked and bastardized by the over-the-top and theatrical approach of Jonathan Goldiner, an Ashkenazi Jew who has lied to the world that he is half-Iraqi. What is a topic that should be rational and serious has been made to fit the enemies’ stereotype of critics of Judaism: irrational and every other bad image they blast on their media to scare the global population into silence. His style does a disservice to this area of research and prevents the movement from maturing past the sometimes well-intentioned slogan “Judaism is not Zionism” yet still undoing the brainwashing that has the masses of people falsely believing that criticism of Zionism, and even also of Judaism, is racist and irrational.

Putting My Safety on the Line to Expose the Truth About Goldiner

I am in a unique position to expose this crypto-Jew because I was friends with Jonathan from 2017 until 2021. In mid to late 2020, I began to find out disturbing things that the person who had stayed at my home where my wife and I sleep was potentially hiding his real identity: a fully Jewish identity.

Since I love Imam Ali (as), I love the justice of Imam Ali. For the sake of Alawi justice, and not for the sake of this person who betrayed my trust and lied to me and the general public for years, I accept the small possibility (maybe less than 1% at this point) that he has an innocent reason to hide these facts, and that he is only ethnically Jewish and not ideologically Jewish, and is not malicious.

When I spoke to scholars and trusted brothers about my concerns, they all said that what I found is very suspicious and worthy of me not trusting this individual anymore, but that I don’t have enough to claim he is X, Y, or Z (such as being an agent). They also said it is possible that he has hidden his background out of shame or embarrassment. For the sake of fairness, I leave open this possibility even if it is only 1% likely.

However, that is up to Jonathan to clarify to the public directly and without slandering or attacking those who are simply asking questions.

Put yourself in my shoes. If you knew someone who was supposed to be a premiere voice in exposing Jewish supremacism is hiding his true identity, and that it was a fully Jewish identity, wouldn’t you also feel betrayed, scared/terrified, and outraged? Especially if this person stayed at your home where your family sleeps? My reaction is not unreasonable and I am not the only one who would find such a thing to be [gefilte] fishy.

Around late 2020, a mutual friend between myself and Jonathan messaged me to say that someone was talking badly about Jonathan on Facebook. This person, whom I do not remember their name or their profile, was coming up with all sorts of negative conclusions about Jonathan. It seemed like conjecture — and even to this day I do not believe it is fair to come up with our own conclusions, as it adds to our credibility and sense of justice to stick to the facts at hand as best as possible — but the one thing this guy had going for him was a link to one of these public phone book/background check websites, such as White Pages or a similar company. This background check site was the page for Jonathan Azaziah. The location and age checked out, as did his mother’s name in the possible relatives. What shocked me was that it listed his alias/previous legal name as Jonathan Goldiner. For those unaware, Goldiner is a Germanic-Jewish last name.

Put yourself in my shoes. Would you be shocked if someone you considered a close friend hid something that serious from you? Especially someone who acts like the most Hezbollahi person on earth whose job is to expose Jewish-Zionist machinations, is himself hiding something very Jewish about himself?

Despite the initial shock and thoughts of lies, betrayal, and violation of my trust, I remembered my love for Imam Ali (as) and realized that while I am far from perfect, I have taken on the name of Ali shortly after I accepted Islam, so I should at least strive to be somewhat like Imam Ali, who was known for his justice.

I would usually search Jonathan’s name online to see if any news had come out about him since Bnai Brith of Canada collaborated with Canadian Hate Crimes police to press charges against him, but nothing popped up since.

For a person who is legit and no evidence exists that they are suspicious, such attacks by the Zionist lobby are a sign of their effectiveness on the path. But for someone whose identity is under question, doubts naturally arise as to the authenticity of such Zionist smear campaigns. I searched once again to see if anything else other than Goldiner would help me gain some level of certainty if he is suspicious or legit.

This time, I came across an older article of his from about 2009 or 2010. It was syndicated from Veterans Today, entitled “The Tragedy”.

“My father is an Iraqi Hebrew whose native tongue is Arabic, and my mother is half Moroccan Hebrew who was born in Boston. Her other half is ethnic white Russian,” Azaziah wrote in the article. This contradicts what he told me. Aside from him saying his father is Iraqi Arab Shi’a, he told me that his mother is Jewish on both sides: one being Moroccan Mizrahi Jewish and the other side Russian Ashkenazi (who are not ethnic white Russians). A common theme that will be seen here is changing his story over and over.

This was also shocking to me. He swore that his father was Arab, but here he is claiming his father is Iraqi Mizrahi Jewish and that he is a Mizrahi Jew.

My mind was spinning. Is he Arab? Mizrahi Jewish? Or Ashkenazi Jewish?

But I calmed myself, and pressured myself to swallow my pride and stick to justice. I then came up with a plan to fairly ask Jonathan about all these issues privately. Back in 2021, I could have easily done what that guy on Facebook did: explode with anger at being betrayed and use these disparate pieces of information to then jump to conclusions based on my own imagination.

But here we are in 2025, after I gave him all fair chances to iron these issues out and reassure me that if there is anything that is hidden about him, that it is for an innocent reason. Certainly, someone of my background would be the most compassionate and understanding of his situation than anyone else.

Which brings me to a bit of a background story between the two of us before I jump into what I asked him, and what his less-than-satisfactory answers were, and how his recent actions have only added to the suspicions and lessened the chance of him hiding this info about himself for innocent and harmless reasons.

I met Jonathan in 2017 on Facebook through a mutual friend who had shared his work. My personal evolution at the time was already on the cusp of deeply understanding the nature of Jewish supremacism and the global Jewish-Zionist network, I just didn’t have the concrete facts and references to back up my claims, as I always try to be as solid as possible in my work. I learned my lesson when debating with pro-Monsanto bots online in the early days of my activism to make sure I shared credible sources. I already knew about the Rothschilds, the 9/11 false flag, and other such issues but hadn’t known too much about what motivates them.

Most of what I knew about Jewish beliefs was through seeing Jewish cultural practices and how that influences their collective consciousness. I had not read the actual Jewish texts. For those who do not know me, I grew up in an Ashkenazi Jewish family and converted to Islam in late 2013 (I wrote an article about how I discovered Islam). I have never hidden my background and so in my mind, I could never imagine a scenario in which there is an innocent or harmless reason for Jonathan to hide all this info. However, I was willing to give a chance to such a possibility and give him every chance to clear the air and face his accusations without any assumptions or accusations.

However, I believe that Allah is the bestower of knowledge, and all of what Jonathan has posted is from publicly available sources which no one should have a monopoly on. Allah wanted to guide me to certain truths.

My niyyat (intention) was always pure: once I realized how much enmity the Jewish ideology has towards Jesus Christ (as), as well as their historical hatred and grudge against the Prophet (S) and Imam Ali (as), I realized that in order to be on the side of Imam Mahdi (aj) and Jesus Christ in the great trials of the end times, I must not be on the side of their enemies and must expose their enemies.

I didn’t want to be like my ideological ancestors (because Ashkenazis are not Semitic, but rather descend from the Caucasian Khazar empire’s ruling clans, and thus the original Semitic Jews who persecuted Christ are not my biological ancestors) who rejected Christ the first time. In fact, if I were to be an enemy of the Mahdi and Christ, I’d be worse than I was when I was lost in the darkness of my ignorance before I was guided to the light of Islam.

Due to this desire of wanting to plant myself firmly in the camp of Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ, and avoid being in the enemy camp, I found the information Jonathan was presenting as very riveting and relevant. There were few brave enough to speak about what he spoke about. Back then, he was a bit more academic and less polemical as he is today, and would often cite his sources. From those sources, I would buy books, and then that would lead to more books that I would discover independently of Jonathan, as Allah is gracious enough to let knowledge itself lead to more doors of knowledge.

Also, since I am a big supporter of revolutionary arts and music (read our article for Imam Khamenei’s rulings on the permissibility of music in Islam and his sociological view on its place in society), Jonathan’s hip-hop music under the moniker “Madd Cold” was very powerful. Art and culture affects the human heart and mind differently than a lecture, book, or other standard source of information. That is why art and culture has a powerful potential to either uplift people, or keep them mired in the swamps of sin and corruption.

He and I quickly became friends. We would speak often. Eventually he would confide in me that his mother was Jewish and would tell me some stories about how his mother’s toxic family would cause nightmares and drama for his totally Arab Iraqi Shi’a father, and how that drama pushed his father into drug addiction and other negative traits that caused his parents to separate and for Jonathan to wind up in group homes in Brooklyn. While the [mostly psychological] war my family waged against me for becoming anti-Zionist may not have been as bad as what he claims his childhood was like, still, we related and bonded based on these similarities and our brotherhood and friendship grew based on it.

In the same year we met, Jonathan released a new album entitled Eternally Husseini. Only a few months after the release, Bnai Brith Canada came up with their infamous press release on how they have prompted Canadian Hate Crimes units to pursue Jonathan for his music. Although he is originally from the US, he would spend some time in Canada and he was there at the time of the media campaign and police pursuit of him. However, according to what he told me, he somehow got some sort of early warning from a friend and Jonathan quickly went to the airport and got out of the country. He was not flagged at the airport for being wanted for a crime, and Allah knows best as to why that was the case.

He finally got in touch with me some months later after he claims his lawyer began the legal proceedings to have the charges dropped against him and thus he felt more comfortable to start to get in contact with his friends and colleagues again, and eventually he would come back to the surface.

During the time of his absence, I thought that the need for revolutionary arts and music cannot be hampered by the monopoly that Zionist-owned online media platforms like Facebook, Soundcloud, iTunes, and others have which enabled them all to censor Jonathan’s music off their platforms. I had hoped that perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran, either through state institutions or private institutions, could create the censorship-free alternatives to these various platforms, but as I learned from my Iranian friends, the liberal reformists don’t care about the values of Islam or the revolution and have no sense of being proactive in these important matters, and all they do is sit on their hands waiting for the results of negotiations with the collective west.

Therefore, I realized that whenever a need arises and someone has the qualifications to fulfill that need, then it is their duty to do it themselves rather than waiting on others to do it, as sometimes we might as well wait for it to fall out of the sky. So, I saw it as my duty to create that alternative myself.

I started a website called Insight Media in 2018 dedicated as a hub to God-conscious art and music. I first hosted some revolutionary hip-hop artists on there, but after I discovered the whole industry of print-on-demand items, such as t-shirts and other cultural goods, I paired up with my dear brother Mohammad Hamza of Intifada Street and printed his art on shirts, which were printed one-off when the customer ordered it, making it very cost efficient for us (no up front costs, no warehouse). He kept 85% of the profits, while I kept 15%. We even donated some of the profits to charity based on the theme of the art of a particular design. I made very little money, and in fact it was a losing operation as my expenses were always higher than my profits.

Since I played the US system smartly, since this all fell under “freedom of speech/expression,” I knew that they can target me in other ways, such as the tax system, so I registered a corporation and paid sales taxes. I crossed my t’s and dotted my i’s diligently so as to not give the US regime any excuse to target me.

Not even a few months after I created Insight Media, I arrived at home from university one day to find two FBI agents aggressively banging on my front door while my wife was alone at home. She had called me about them just as I had parked my car in the parking lot of our apartment complex. They switched from being aggressive to being officer McFriendly real quick, telling me I am not being charged with a crime and that they just want to ask questions. I pleaded the Fifth and told them I would not answer any questions without a lawyer. They gave me their info and left, and I got a free lawyer from CAIR (useless liberal organization, but useful for helping Muslims with FBI harassment cases). My lawyer informed me that I have no duty to speak to them because this is a politically-motivated case of intimidation due to my journalistic activities and religious beliefs. Additionally, she told me that the head of the regional FBI precinct called her personally to pressure her to get me to come in for questioning as a matter of “national security.” However, despite this pressure, I still refused. She told me it was the best for me to do so, as capitulating to them would create more problems than it would resolve.

However, she warned me that this case against me would eventually expire, and after that they would be able to open a new case against me. I began to worry about escalating tactics like SWAT raids on my homes, as has happened to other vocal and principled American Muslim figures. However, once she gave me the green light that I can return to my normal life, I continued to add more to the Insight Media catalog. Just to celebrate the victory of punking the FBI, I introduced a shirt with artwork of the face of Shaheed Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Several months later, Jonathan informed me that his case was cleared and that his lawyer told him he could return to public life again. I then uploaded Jonathan’s music onto my site and made a press release about his harassment and return. I even added some t-shirt designs of his to our site.

In that same year, in the fall of 2018, Jonathan came to visit my city. We finally had met in person. I am not sure how many people in the Shi’a community aside from me have actually met Jonathan in real life. He mostly stays reclusive. Perhaps there is a good reason for that, in hindsight. Back then, I thought that these cowardly Islamic centers who flatter and cajole the US empire would not tolerate his presence in their mentally colonized communities. But now, I think it is because a person with a little bit of intelligence and street smarts can see that there is something odd about his character.

Jonathan Azaziah/Azazyahu/Goldiner and I in my kitchen in the US in the fall of 2018

He arrived at our home on a Friday, when there was English programs at our local masjid. On the way there, he leveled unfair accusations against Ayatollah Sayyed al-Sistani, along the lines of his eminence being a “quietist” on politics, but that is simply not the case. That is what the Zionists and Americans want people to think about him, so as to pacify Shi’as in the west (and some in the east) by branding into their minds an image of their own marja that is totally different of the reality of Sayyed Sistani. However, none of this stood out to me as odd until after I found out he was hiding his fully Jewish identity and pretending to be half-Iraqi.

By the time we got to the masjid, it was a bit late and we had missed the congregational prayers. However, we were just on time to see the direction that everyone was praying in. It wasn’t important for me, because I was a regular at that center and knew the qibla direction. Which means Jonathan clearly saw them and the qibla direction too. Yet, when I offered to lead prayers and put down a prayer stone to the side of me for him to join, I started praying and out of the periphery of my vision, I noticed that he was praying in the wrong direction. Not just a little off, but way off. It seemed like nothing at the time, and I gave him the excuse of it being accidental due to being a stranger at the center. But now that I know what I know about him, still Allah knows best, but it all adds up and adds to the suspicions. Even when I corrected him after I finished my maghrib, I noticed that his prayer seemed a bit odd. Again, Allah knows best, but it all adds up.

How can someone who knows the most obscure references to Jewish texts by heart not know how to pray? This question only entered my mind two years after the fact.

After we finish our prayers, we begin to socialize with the brothers from the community until the program was ready to begin. Jonathan strikes up a conversation with one of my Iraqi friends and Jonathan mentions that he is also Iraqi. My friend asks Jonathan which part of Iraq his family is from, and he says his father descends from Kufa in a village called Al-Azaz.

Since most young Iraqis in the US were either born there or immigrated when they were very, very young, they probably do not even know very well their own city’s geography, let alone another city like Kufa. My friend just nodded and didn’t think anything of it. He probably also isn’t too adept in language to know that most Arabic last names that are named after a region, city, or village are just the name of the place plus the Arabic letter “ya” at the end (pronounced as -ee, spelled as -i), such as Najafi. Wouldn’t that make his name Azazi instead of Azaziah?

Just the same, I thought nothing of it at the time and I also believed his story. I don’t mean to be harsh to my Arabic-speaking brothers and sisters, but I wonder where was anyone of an Arabic-speaking background to speak up and say that there is something very non-Arabic about this person’s last name? Us non-Arabs would not know how to tell the difference and are the most easily fooled by such tricks.

Later on I found an interview that Jonathan did with an independent Iran-based blog in which he stated that his last name means “powerful light” in Arabic. Which is it? A name derived from a city or a name which carries a meaning? Can any Arabic speaker verify such a thing? Regardless, this one of many cases of Jonathan’s “official story” constantly changing, not just slightly but drastically.

As we said goodbye to each other at my apartment complex, he walked away and started loudly and obnoxiously shouting “DTA, DTI, FTJ,” which are acronyms for “death to America, death to ‘israel,’ and f— the Jews.” Not a single neighbor will understand what those acronyms stand for, so what is the point of yelling them so loudly? In internet slang, they would call that “fedposting,” but I digress.

Later that same year, I had attended an Islamic conference where the keynote speaker was Marzieh Hashemi, who had come from Iran to visit her family.

At the time, there was a group chat of different pro-resistance voices on Twitter after we were getting suspended one by one by their censorship machine, so that we could keep in touch if our accounts were deleted.

During the conference, I got an alert on my phone saying that Jonathan tagged me in a post in the group. To paraphrase it loosely, he said something like “Striking star salute to Ali Salaam for being targeted by the Zionist Clarion Project [note: Clarion is a Zionist organization run by Christian Zionist evangelists with some Jewish involvement]! They’re referring to him as a ‘diehard Hezbollah supporter’ who spreads ‘antisemitic conspiracy theories’!” and included the link to the Clarion Project smear article against that entire Islamic conference, including slandering Marzieh Hashemi.

The article also smeared multiple participants of the conference. They included my name in it as well, even though I wasn’t a participant and had only given a speech in the year prior at an open forum sub-event within the conference that was similar to the Ted Talks platform, which I spoke about my now-deleted autobiographical documentary series American Hussaini (a play on words of American Sniper, because most Americans went to Iraq as invaders and killers, while I was one of the few who went as a brother and pilgrim). I only deleted it mainly because the soundtrack to the series was Jonathan’s songs, and once I found out disturbing things about him, I felt too ashamed to keep such a thing around so that others may be misguided by a person who hides his true identity for God knows what reason.

In hindsight, it also seems suspicious to me now that he was the first to find out about that hit piece by Clarion before even the organizers of the conference did, as when I shared it with them, they had not seen it yet. One of them had asked me who sent it to me, and I said “Jonathan Azaziah.” Even though I would not become suspicious of him until two years later, still, his name felt awkward to drop off my tongue. My mind couldn’t process what my instincts were telling me.

This was in late 2018, shortly before Marzieh Hashemi’s unjust kidnapping by the US federal agents. Again, Allah knows best and I don’t want to make any concrete claims, but the Clarion article definitely helped to serve as the character assassination that inevitably precedes the physical assassination (either jail or murder), as Martyr Malcolm Shabazz (ra) once stated about the formula for assassination, and with all the red flags about Jonathan, who knows if there is any kind of suspicious reason why he knew about that smear piece before anyone else did. He was aware of the conference, as I invited him to attend. Again, Allah knows best.

After Marzieh’s kidnapping incident, my wife and I decided to speed up our plans to leave the US in case the FBI ever decided to escalate against me. We left in mid 2019 and haven’t been back since. So I never had another chance to see Jonathan in person.

Shattered Perception

That brings me to the latter part of 2020 when I discovered that his legal last name is both Azaziah (true Hebrew pronunciation: Azazyahu) and Goldiner (Germanic-Jewish), among the other things I would learn about him.

Out of a sense of justice, in which I am certainly not perfect in but strive to my best according to my limited capacity, I approached Jonathan privately and without making any accusations or assumptions. One by one, with a few months apart for each piece of info I had serious concerns about, I asked him about each in this fair manner.

  1. Goldiner being a legal last name
    • His response was that due to the heavy pressure his Jewish mother’s family on his totally Iraqi Arab father, his father tried to think of ways to appease them. One thing he did was to legally change his name from “Barak Azaziah” to Bruce Bennett Goldiner and change his kids’ names accordingly.
    • The problem with such an explanation is that when visiting the White Pages listing for Bruce Bennett Goldiner, in the possible relatives section, no Arab names exist. No other Azaziahs aside from Jonathan and his brother exist. The possible relatives section are only other Jewish-sounding names. Additionally, just as Jonathan’s listing shows his alias as Jonathan Goldiner, suggesting a previously-held legal last name, his father however shows no other alias showcasing a record of a legal name change.
    • To verify this, someone will have to search court records of Bruce Bennett Goldiner to see if there is a record of a legal name change. When I legally changed my name from Alexander Fidel to Ali Salaam (for spiritual reasons mainly, and to eliminate any guilt-by-association between my activities and my family), I was required to take out newspaper ads announcing my intent to legally change my name. This is done so that no one can change their name for the purposes of escaping debts owed or anything similar (the only exception being witness protection programs). Afterwards, I went before a judge and he signed the court order, which I have the original and copies are accessible in the local court indefinitely. Aside from the actual court document approving his name, archives of the newspaper ads can potentially be found to verify all this. If anyone wants to try to find these archives, they’re welcome to.
  2. “Iraqi Hebrew father”
    • For this, he told me that another thing his father did to appease his Jewish wife’s family was to tell his children that they were Mizrahi Jews but took on Ashkenazi names to blend in to white America and normative Ashkenazi-majority Jewish communities in the US, since it was hard to ignore the fact that their father did not look white due to his totally Iraqi Arab features. Jonathan got involved in the Palestinian cause initially as an anti-Zionist Mizrahi Jew, because that is what he thought he was. He became a prolific author and by writing online under his original totally Arab last name Azaziah, his Iraqi uncle (whom he claims is deep within the Iraqi Islamic resistance cadres) discovered his writings and decided to reach out to his long lost nephew and deliver the reality-shattering truth that he is not Mizrahi Jewish, but actually Iraqi Arab, and that this was all hidden by his Jewish mother’s family along with his father who perpetuated these lies to appease his in-laws. Jonathan told me that after finding out these shocking revelations, he wrote another article about this and it was published.
    • I looked into the archives of Veterans Today (since his writings were deleted from the site following his conflict with VT Editor Gordon Duff), and I could not find a follow-up article that he claimed to have written and published. I could not find anything on other sites by searching up keywords such as “Azaziah Mizrahi.” What I did find though was a MySpace profile belonging to a previous hip-hop duo of his called “Mizraqi Mirzafghani” and a podcast episode they appeared on, where Jonathan still referred to himself as a Mizrahi Iraqi as of around the years 2009 to 2010.
  3. Where is “Al-Azaz”?
    • With questions in my mind, I looked up Al-Azaz on Google Maps to see where in Iraq it is. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I looked on internet search. Nothing in Iraq, but there is an Al-Azaz near Aleppo, Syria, very far away from Kufa, Iraq. However, I had no creative way of asking him about this until one day I saw on my Twitter feed that there was a pro-FSA protest in Al Azaz waving around the three-star French Mandate flag that has now become the “official” flag of Syria following the takeover by “former” ISIS commander and Zio-American mercenary Al Jolani. I then sent him that tweet saying that I thought his ancestral hometown went insane, but then I saw it was Syria, and not Iraq. He laughed it off as a close call. I then asked him where I could find Al Azaz, so I could visit it on his behalf if I ever went to Iraq for pilgrimage to Najaf (which Kufa is very close to) and Karbala. He told me that it is not possible to find Al Azaz, because it was totally destroyed by the British during the occupation of Iraq.
    • Touché. A convenient reply that I cannot possibly verify, unless I have connections to whichever Iraqi ministry is knowledgeable about the geography and history of its cities. If anyone does have any connections to the Iraqi government, please be our guest and verify if Al Azaz ever existed in Kufa. However, that again goes back to the point I raised earlier about most geography-based last names of Iraqi Arabs being the city name plus “ya” at the end. Someone from Najaf will be Mr./Mrs. Najafi. Someone from Al Azaz, if it is indeed real, would be Mr./Mrs. Azazi. An Arabic linguist can correct me if I’m wrong.

At this point, I became stuck. His answers seemed too convenient to be believable, yet I didn’t have any smoking gun.

Around the end of 2021, after I had asked him everything and began to distance myself from him as per the scholars’ advice, I tried searching “Azaziah” by itself to see if anything new would come up that would help me solve this puzzle. I had never done this before.

Every single search result was from some kind of Biblical encyclopedia website. I clicked on the first one and it showed that Azaziah was the name of one of the people of Bani Israel during the era of the civil war between the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judea following the death of Prophet Solomon (as) and many of the Israelites rejecting his successor (many of the Israelites were the enemy of Solomon during his lifetime, choosing to perform black magic and conjure up demons instead of obeying their own prophet sent to guide them away from such evil).

I had instant Deja Vu to the time when I first bought a copy of the Orthodox Christian-approved Holy Bible (both old and new testaments), after a Russian Orthodox priest gifted me a copy of the Orthodox-approved New Testament (I returned it after I found the complete edition of the same publisher online). I had randomly opened up to that part of the Old Testament which is during that period of time of the civil war, and I noticed that the kings who rose and fell over and over had names with -iah spellings. At the time, something in the back of my mind thought that was interesting, but I was too naive and simple to put two and two together.

Up until now, my entire assumption was that Azaziah is an Arabic name. This was the groundbreaking step in my investigation that opened my eyes wide and made me furious with anger.

I suppressed my anger and still adhered to justice. Eventually, I spoke with Jonathan about this and asked him the most softball question of softball questions, just to show him that I am as merciful as possible and I’m opening the door wide, wide open for him to come clean and be honest with me, as I am the last person to judge him if he does have an innocent and harmless reason for hiding this information.

I asked him if he ever looked at the original Arabic spelling of his name to see if the transliteration/Latinization matched up with the actual pronunciation and spelling, because there is this Hebrew name in the Bible that is spelled exactly the same, except the Biblical name is also not accurate because it too is Latinized, and is actually pronounced Azazyahu, so the name “Azaziah” neither represents his Arabic name nor the Hebrew name from the Bible.

Instead of taking this as an invitation to finally be honest, he rolls with my softball question and says he’ll look into it and that his father originally wanted to name him Yahya. This was in the latter part of 2021. I did not buy it, not one bit. I knew that something was very, very wrong.

Once I started to realize these weird things about him, I thought that his whole style of saying “Jew” every other word became suspect. Normal people who speak about the disturbing beliefs of Judaism are not this over-the-top and theatrical. Once I realized he’s not “normal” at all, his style of delivering these difficult-to-swallow truths became suspicious.

Due to that, I began to reform my own style in how I deliver painful truths. Unfortunately, for as long as I thought he was a bona fide Iraqi, his style rubbed off on me and I too was a bit over-the-top in my early days of speaking about these subjects. I never compromised on the substance; rather the style was only subject to maturation. Honestly, the over-the-top and theatrical style of confrontationalism burned more bridges than it built and pushed more people away from the truth than it brought in. His style is more about flexing how much he knows and being elitist towards those who aren’t up to speed yet, rather than trying to build bridges so that those who understand these issues are greater in number. It just ends up reducing the number of people who are aware of these things to a small clique of terminally-online internet people, many of whom are unknown and behave suspiciously.

I had hoped that if some people who take after him knew this info, they would be just as shocked as me and then realize that this whole confrontational and elitist approach to these issues is counterproductive and pushes more people away from these truths.

One of those people whom I approached about this was the late Mehdi Vafaei, may God have mercy on him. He and I got along great for years, but I felt his confrontational and elitist style only pushed people further into the arms of various Liberal Zionist groups or the likes of Neturei Karta, although in regards to the latter, I have no problem with those who work with them publicly since it helps to undo the brainwashing of the masses that Muslims have an irrational, racial-based hatred of Jews, rather than a rational opposition based on being against the distortion of the holy religion of Moses (as) and the ideology/action of Jewish supremacists, so long as we know that most if not all of NK types believe that something like Zionism should be implemented after their “moschiach” appears (which we can deal with at that point in history). I personally don’t work with them, but I’m not going to attack those who do. In a friendly way, I say that some of them believe such-and-so, and to just keep it in mind so it doesn’t catch us off-guard when they stab us in the back.

I thought if Mehdi knew the truth about Jonathan, Mehdi would stop taking after Jonathan’s over-the-top style and find his style to be highly suspicious. Just like I took time to reflect and then mature my style of speaking about these various “controversial” issues, I had hoped he would have the same reaction.

In a group chat, I informed him and a relative of his about my findings, and that for the sake of Alawi justice, I am open to the possibility that there is a harmless reason for him hiding all these things, and that it is in his own best interest to come clean, otherwise someone less just will find this same info and have zero mercy on Jonathan.

Mehdi’s relative freaked out. He was shocked. He agreed on the need to maintain justice and fairness, but he said that if there is no innocent reason for all of this, he is hopping on a plane to the US to find Jonathan and beat the living daylights out of him.

On the other hand, Mehdi admitted to me that he already knew the majority of what I found long before I told him, especially the Hebrew name thing. He was somewhat neutral and unsure about what to make of all of it. I expressed my reservations that it is quite suspicious that someone is hiding something like this, let alone his over-the-top and theatrical style. We agreed that we would have to gain a sense of certainty from Jonathan whether or not this is all innocent or malicious. Mehdi even complimented me on my diligence for discovering these things.

However, this situation didn’t last long. It was around the year 2020 or 2021 when I became one of the co-founders of the Telegram channel Global Resistance News alongside several other reputable journalists and researchers. This was all anonymous and this is my first time admitting to being a part of such a thing publicly. Naturally, I will not reveal those who were apart of it and protect their anonymity.

It blossomed into over 20,000 subscribers due to the efforts of its various reporters due to its ability to report news of the Islamic world and about the world domination plots of the international Zionists and western liberal imperialists in a way that was relatable to younger generations, both east and west, as we are from among those generations. To avoid pushing people away, we would carefully drop truth bombs about various “controversial” subjects, such as COVID vaccine skepticism and the disturbing beliefs of Jewish texts. A far cry from Jonathan’s suspicious style of saying “Jew” every other word, this was actually palatable for people and brought more people closer to the truth. It’s effectiveness was proved in our ability to maintain decent engagement and subscriber growth. Of course, we didn’t do things for the sake of popularity and the intentions were sincere, but just as it is important for the military resistance to make sure their missiles are accurate, powerful, and of various ranges, the way we deliver truth should also be honed so as to achieve the most accurate and powerful delivery. Mehdi was one of the early contributors to the channel’s content and, to his credit, for the most part he was similarly clever about his wording, knowing it was a general audience for which we had no idea what their level of understanding was, so burning bridges was not an option. The issue has always been about style, and never about substance.

In early 2022, I created Basira Press. I deliberately did not invite Jonathan to be a part of the site’s writers, for so long as I had major questions about his identity, I did not want to be guilty-by-association with him.

To address relevant issues relating to Jewish supremacism on this website, I employed the likes of Dr. E. Michael Jones, who we know is actually Irish and German and not pretending to be something else. We have published his writings, and early on I wrote a eulogy for the late Dr. Tony Martin.

In the month of Ramadan of 2022, my purposefully distant relationship with Jonathan finally caught up with me, as he likely suspected that I was on to him and that is why I did not involve him in my site. He shared with me a new album that he had made, and unlike his other albums which were actually musical and catchy, this just sounded like ranting over a beat and surely my suspicions about him made it even less palatable to my ears. My site didn’t publish an album review or anything. I had quietly removed his music from the Insight Media site which is still up (it went down for a while as there was a technical error that was due to switching DDoS protection services).

In the last day of Ramadan, while my wife and I were still fasting, he decided to confront me about my distant relations with him. However, unlike me who did the right thing by coming to him privately and without any presumptions or accusations, he was not man enough to face me one-to-one and fairly ask me what was up.

Instead, he created a group chat with Mehdi, which made sense since he was the more confrontational of the duo (good cop, bad cop).

More than likely, Jonathan knew that I knew and that was the reason behind my distant relations with him. But, rather than facing me like a man privately, he had to make a group chat and pretend like he is totally surprised and that it has nothing to do with the fact that he has hidden his Jewish identity.

As the dear reader can see, he was crass, rude, profane, and dodging the very obvious subject of his fake Iraqi persona. When I spoke to him about his identity issues, I never once called him a “faggot,” even though I have a right to let loose on such a person who I invited to my house yet I don’t even know who he truly is. See, these types of personal attacks and insults work good in private, but for the general public, it comes off as repulsive and shows who is the guilty and who is the innocent. Everything he tried to paint me as, he is guilty of himself. Two-facedness and the whole nine yards. Or perhaps even worse, as pretending to be an Iraqi while hiding a fully Jewish identity is a whole other level of two-facedness.

Mind you, this was broad daylight in Ramadan while I was fasting. I probably waited until I broke my fast so that I don’t accidentally invalidate my fast because of arguing. Although we are in different time zones, the boldness during the holy month speaks volumes, especially as Eid was the next day and it could have easily waited literally two days.

The disrespect for the holy month continued. I don’t wish to disrespect the dead, but it was at this point when I realized that Mehdi had decided to side with Jonathan and cover up the Jewish identity that he himself admitted to knowing. The same person who hounds every person he comes across to “name the J” is not willing to name the very J who is his closest mentor and is willing to attack me in order to cover up for a crypto-Jew. The irony is absolutely surreal as it is embarrassing.

On Eid day, as I ate breakfast with my wife trying to enjoy the holiday, I am bombarded with constant notifications on my phone from this group chat, the majority being from Mehdi. By the end of it, it totaled to 100 messages. It was mostly a flurry of baseless slander, accusations, and insults. He tried to accuse me of selling out by peddling that Judaism is different than Zionism (I never did such a thing and he knew that), that I only created Basira Press so that I could gain fame and be invited as a guest on Islamic Pulse’s panel discussions, that I wanted to be included among certain cliques on Twitter (namely a guy named militaryvlog who he hates, and FYI, militaryvlog still has me blocked on both my accounts to this very day, so much for the accusation of wanting to be in his “clique”), that I’m “acting like a woman,” and many more things which he knew he had no evidence to say and was making it all up, but had to say it so as to intimidate me into silence. Basically, to show me that he has no morals or ethics and is willing to lie about me to protect the big lie, which is that his mentor and guru is a Jew and that’s the one J he won’t name.

Accusing me of being schizo because I [checks notes] follow someone on Twitter?

He was starting to be confrontational against me prior to this, but I didn’t think that it was because he decided to cover up for Jonathan’s hidden Jewish identity and pre-emptively discredit me so that if I ever exposed Jonathan, people would be less likely to believe me. He was attempting to paint me as a Jewish gatekeeper in order to cover up the big lie of the actual hidden Jew. I couldn’t make up this pitiful and ironic situation if I tried.

Because I wanted to enjoy Eid, I didn’t read the messages, I just saw the previews in the push notifications. The day after Eid, the message count went up again, now totaling at 120. Ironic for someone who often talks about the Jewish tactic of pilpul, which is argument for the sake of argument, all to avoid addressing the core issue. Is this not pilpul? Arguing with me for the sake of argument, to avoid the giant elephant in the room which he himself admitted to me that he also knows about, which is that Jonathan comes from a fully Jewish background and is cosplaying as an Iraqi?

Due to a few stressful situations following Eid, I wasn’t able to read 120 messages of endless absurd insults which have no basis in reality. A few days later, Jonathan came in to play good cop and issue an insincere apology to me for the whole thing, but ended up placing the blame on me for everything. That is as much as would fit into the preview in my push notifications.

By the time I wanted to jump into the chat to see if Jonathan offered up any explanation that might show that he has a harmless reason for covering up his identity and pretending to be Iraqi, he deleted the entire chat and it disappeared from my Telegram. Therefore, the issue of the Hebrew last name remains unsettled since that is the issue that he never gave me a definite answer on, unlike the issue of Goldiner and “Iraqi Mizrahi.”

To this day, some of Jonathan’s minions try to slander me by claiming that I fought against Mehdi for no reason, totally out of the blue. They do so in order to quietly imply that I am secretly Jewish and am upset at Mehdi for exposing what Jews believe, and so I took out my secret inner anger against him. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it is the opposite! For the fact that I exposed a hidden Jew pretending to be an Iraqi, I was attacked. This whole ordeal is due to me “knowing too much.” I found out the truth, and because I seek the truth for the sake of God and not just to prove how knowledgeable I am about a specific issue, I accepted the truth instead of willfully blinding myself like the rest of Jonathan’s cult members. If we want to keep score based on their own standards of “naming the J,” then I am willing to name one more than they are.

In order to further threaten me into silence, some other minions of Jonathan would passively aggressively make posts against me online without mentioning my name, showing me also that they have no moral boundaries and are willing to lie about me or twist the truth (due to Jonathan knowing details about my personal life from our friendship) in order to protect this big lie. It reminded me of the bald priests of the pagan temple in Egypt from the Iranian TV series Prophet Joseph. Joseph was exposing the truth about how their main idol, Amon, was fake, and they hatched all kinds of plots to discredit Joseph, but he eventually exposed them. Many of these minions who made disparaging posts against me without mentioning my name also knew the truth about Jonathan not being half-Iraqi, because I told them myself. One of them was the one who had previously threatened to go to the US and beat up Jonathan yet flipped and is now helping to uphold the charade. I can see why they want to slander me, because if people knew they were so loyal to a crypto-Jew, it would be quite embarrassing for them.

In any case, at the time I wasn’t willing to deal with a big online war like that and deal with the slander. So, it worked. I was intimidated into silence. However, I was still enraged by the fact that I had been swindled by a fake Iraqi.

If there was nothing suspicious about him, why the need to attack me so viciously, resorting to personal attacks instead of addressing issues? The fact that he is so defensive and confrontational when asked simple questions raises even more doubts, not less!

I’m not the only simple person who can do a basic internet search and find these things. He can attack me and slander me now, but he can’t attack or slander everyone who asks simple questions, especially as I am probably the most fair a person could have been towards him.

After this ordeal, I went to the head of Global Resistance News, who was an Iranian student (no, we were never funded by the Iranian state and did all of this in our free time as volunteers), and informed him about Jonathan’s hidden identity and how I’m being attacked simply for finding out the truth.

He seemed shocked and receptive at first, and tried to calm the tensions. He had, under the suggestion of Mehdi who was also an admin, added Jonathan and some of his close circle as admins, although they were dormant and had not posted yet. At the time, he tried to mediate tensions, as Mehdi would continuously attack me and taunt me in the channel’s group chat for its admins, but I never took the bait. He knew he had scared me into silence and was being bold by provoking me into arguments. But I remained patient.

However, the owner of the GRN channel ended up also willfully blinding himself and siding with Jonathan. I told him he can’t pretend to support me and even be my friend if he is supporting people who are willingly lying about me with the intention to harm me in order to protect a literal crypto-Jew.

Later that same year, Jonathan and his crew sprung out of dormancy and became active in the channel. As soon as that happened, I quit. In fact, many other admins had quit around the same time. Some of them I informed about Jonathan, others I didn’t. They had no problem with discussing issues like the Talmud, as the channel always had done that, but they got turned off when it turned into shock-jockey style antics. Naturally, the engagement rate and view count of the channel dropped dramatically once Jonathan and his crew took over.

However, under severe pressure from the channel owner, I came back as an anonymous user with a different name and was not added into the admins’ group chat.

However, that didn’t last long as I didn’t want to give my energy alongside someone I knew was clearly fake and suspicious. I also couldn’t take any of the owner’s fake “neutrality” between me and them, when clearly I am innocent for simply “knowing too much” about the truth while they were literally lying and slandering me with intent to harm in order to protect a suspicious person’s hidden Jewish identity.

Additionally, Jonathan started to engage in “fedposting,” such as posting numerology about how many times the accursed Salman Rushdie was stabbed. First, was that info even released? Secondly, why would someone who lives in the US post something that deep in glorifying that incident under his own name without getting a visit from the feds? Rushdie deserved what happened to him and the brother who did it was a heroic fida’i, even if perhaps he was unknowingly egged on by a fed. This would eventually happen to Rushdie, whether as an organic operation or his Zionist handles finally deciding his injury or death is worth more to them than a life as a grifter. However, for Goldiner to get so deep into the details and to gush over the number of times Rushdie was stabbed, as if he was doing some kind of Kabbalistic Gematria with it, was way too much “fedposting” for me to be in that channel even as an anon.

After the channel owner and I had one more meeting in Tehran, I knew the channel owner was just like the rest of the people who are covering up the truth for God knows what reason. I permanently quit shortly after our last meeting in 2022.

Perhaps it is like the Chappelle’s Show skit, “Black White Supremacist,” about an African American boy named Clayton Bigsby who was blind from birth and put in an all-white school, whereby the teacher told him and the other boys he was white, and he grew up believing he was white and became one of the leaders of the local KKK.

In this fictional comedy skit, the documentary maker asks one of Bigsby’s KKK handlers why don’t they tell him he is black. The handler responds, “because he’s too important to the movement.” I believe this notion from this skit can help explain why so many people around Jonathan are willfully blinding themselves to the obvious reality (which I myself informed them of): because to them, Jonathan is too important to the movement of exposing the messed up things that Jews believe in. Few are willing to discuss such issues, so Jonathan established a monopoly for himself and his website is a rich resource for a litany of subtopics that others have not reported on, and so they worry that if he is discredited, all his work and research will go out the window. Utter nonsense and due to an inferiority complex. They could just as easily do what Jonathan does and do the same research and make similar articles documenting historical facts, without the over-the-top theatrics. There is no need to cover up for a suspicious Jew pretending to be Arab. But, they have decided that in order to protect a big truth, they should also protect a big lie. The ends justify the means, in their minds.

A question had always been in my mind about what would be Jonathan’s purpose and motivation to pretend to be Arab? Is it to spy on people? Is it to discredit Shi’a Islam as well as research on the Jewish issue by making everyone seem irrational via guilt-by-association?

This question can partially be answered by the direction that GRN took following Goldiner’s takeover.

They began to present a perspective of abject pessimism when it came to the Islamic Republic of Iran. They painted the Leader as a weak, powerless figurehead overrun by the liberal “reformist” fifth column. They claimed Iran’s rapprochement with Saudi Arabia equals endorsing the criminal kingdom and that it was engineered by Mr. Shamkhani on his own accord.

First, Shamkhani was on his way out, he was only a leftover whose term was about to expire. Second, his British spy friend was executed by Martyr Raisi’s government for his involvement in various acts of sabotage including the US-Zionist backed riots in 2022. That’s enough to get someone into line and get them to be useful for the remainder of their tenure.

The opening of diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia isn’t to rehabilitate Al Saud, but to put these dogs on a leash. They love money and power after all, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is now known as a power that is here to stay and that the regional players must play ball to survive, especially as they cannot rely on the US for safety. The CIA got mad that Bin Salman (MbS) hacked to death their agent Jamal Khashoggi and so they began to work against MbS to replace him with someone more professional who won’t lead the kingdom to swift collapse. MbS did a power play to arrest most of his family members and proved to the Americans he is competent enough to lead the kingdom and not accelerate its collapse, so they kept him (for now). They know Iran doesn’t play those games, so they can hang onto their money and power if they also make some concessions to Iran. It’s about putting a leash on Saudi, not putting makeup on them.

This deal was praised by both the Leader and Martyr Nasrallah. It’s not going to bring an end to Saudi treachery, but the lesser the better. In the years since, Saudi Arabia stopped funding and hosting Iran International, the main source of propaganda for the riots in 2022. Additionally, nothing has stopped the hypersonic missile program of Ansarallah. What did Saudi Arabia get out of it? Not much, at least not compared to what Iran got out of it, especially as it did not affect Yemen the slightest.

This is not to deny internal problems that Iran has, especially from the liberal fifth column and the capitalist economic policies they implemented over several decades starting from Rafsanjani. It is not easy for Martyr Raisi to reverse 30 years of mess in only the three years that he had before his suspicious helicopter crash. There is harm in the two extremes: ignoring these internal problems entirely and over-exaggerating them to the point of spreading abject pessimism (including painting the Leader as a weak, powerless figurehead). The enemy wishes to spread two false narratives about the Leader: an overbearing “dictator,” to encourage the enemies of the revolution to hate him more, or a weak figurehead, to cause hopelessness to grow in the hearts of the revolution’s loyal adherents. Goldiner seems to push the latter false narrative.

Whatever internal problems the Islamic Republic has which are worthy of constructive criticism, the LAST person who should be opening their mouth about it is a man who is of a fully Jewish ethnic background who pretends to be half-Iraqi, especially when his criticism is not constructive, but a form of fitna. The enemies tapped out their customer base when it comes to liberals withdrawing their support for the Islamic Revolution. The new frontier of fitna is to get the Islamic Revolution supporters themselves to pull their support while thinking that they are actually loving and supporting the Revolution!

It got worse than that. Despite this channel being led by a hidden Jew along with his close circle, many of whom are aware of Jonathan’s sketchy identity issues, they had the audacity to accuse Martyr Sayyed Ibrahim Raisi of implementing a Jewish agenda during his tenure!

The late Mehdi Vafaei mocking Martyr Raisi holding up the Holy Qur’an at the UN by saying that Sayyed Raisi actually implements the Zohar (the book of Jewish black magic), even though the Sayyed is the one who fully canceled Iran’s participation in the UN 2030 program that the previous Fereydoun (“Rouhani”) administration got Iran into. He is thus falsely accusing a Sayyed of being a Jewish sorcerer – meanwhile he knew full well his mentor is of a fully Jewish background while pretending to be Iraqi!

There is a story once told by Imam Khomeini (ra) when he was recalling how people would come to him (a mujtahid, which is a high-ranking religious jurist) and try to lecture him about the Qur’an and other Islamic texts. These instances reminded the Imam of a story when an Iranian Jew converted to Islam, but often condescendingly educated alims about the teachings of Islam. Legit alims, not these servants of the Shah and the colonial powers who only wear clerical garbs but don’t deserve to. One of the scholars of the city came to this Jew and asked him some questions. “Who am I?” the scholar asked. “You’re a Sayyed, so you’re the son of Imam Ali (as) and Lady Fatima (sa),” the convert answered. “And who are you?” the scholar asked. “My parents are Jewish but I have converted to Islam,” the convert answered. “So how are you more Muslim than me?” the scholar asked. The Jew went silent and disappeared, because the scholar uncovered his agenda to place himself as being higher than the scholars (the sincere ones – of course it is not hard to be a better Muslim than the corrupted ones who serve colonial interests) instead of being their humble servant. Mehdi Vafaei loved to share this story, but couldn’t see the irony in Azazyahu/Goldiner acting like he is more Muslim than a Sayyed like Ibrahim Raisi. Perhaps this case is even worse, as at least that Iranian Jew was honest about where he came from!

Mehdi greatly respected Commander Saeed Ghassemi of the IRGC due to his frankness in speech, and thought he was emulating Commander Ghassemi. As a hypothetical, if Commander Ghassemi met someone who acted as if he was more Hezbollahi than anyone in the world and told everyone he was Arab, but then it was revealed that he was fully Jewish, what would the commander’s reaction be? A) Cover up the truth despite knowing it because that person said certain things that are considered to be important or B) exposing the truth about this person’s hidden Jewish identity? I don’t think the honorable commander would ever choose option A, not even for a second.

The late Mehdi Vafaei had a lot of potential to do good and make constructive use of his understanding of the Jewish issue and the fifth column in Iran. This is a common theme among those who are sucked in by Jonathan Goldiner, whatever potential they have to do good is squandered, and their energy is misdirected in a destructive direction which uses truth to serve the enemies’ interests of creating fitna. Spreading excessive pessimism against the Islamic Revolution, that it is all over and Imam Khamenei is a powerless figurehead, only serves the enemy, especially when it is spread in the English language. However, even in Farsi it still should be channeled into a constructive way that can potentially lead to change, rather than spreading hopelessness.

Jonathan manipulates his followers like a cult leader — I should know, my potential was almost squandered due to Jonathan’s bombastic style rubbing off on me, which I thought was the legitimate frustration and anger of a half-Iraqi Arab Shi’a Muslim against the rivers of blood that has flowed from the schemes of international Zionism. Unfortunately, Mehdi’s potential was squandered into being an underling for a crypto-Jew, the one “J” he wouldn’t name, to use their lingo.

Martyr Amir-Abdollahian was not spared by the secretly Jewish Jonathan Goldiner.

We are obviously no fans of the World Economic Forum, the Great Reset, or the UN 2030 agenda. But who says that the martyr’s attendance means full endorsement of the WEF agenda? Perhaps it would be better if the martyr didn’t attend such gatherings, but who says he wasn’t engaging in counterintelligence as well as using the opportunity to meet with foreign dignitaries of other countries to help bolster ties? After all, the Zionist media referred to the martyr as the IRGC’s “field agent disguised as a diplomat.”

Second, as evil as the WEF is, it is only a front for more nefarious powers and many of its attendees have conflicting agendas. For example, it hosts George Soros and Xi Jinping, even though Soros opposes Xi and China. Physical presence doesn’t equate to being Klaus Schwab’s lapdog.

Who is he to talk about Anusim and crypto-Jews when he himself is literally a crypto-Jew? The hypocritical irony is off the charts. Who is this Jonathan Goldiner/Azazyahu, who sits in the US, to call anyone a “betrayer of the Islamic Revolution” or to use the term Islamic in quotation marks?

He can get away with this if people think he is an Iraqi. But once you realize Jonathan’s own “fakakta schtick” of being fully Jewish while pretending to be half-Iraqi, if you are sincere in seeking the truth, you will also find such comments to be highly suspicious. Only his close cult followers willfully blind themselves to the truth just because he feeds them truths about what Jews believe. Just as Donald Trump said that he could shoot someone in the middle of New York City and people would still love him, Jonathan Goldiner’s cult followers could literally see Jonathan writing his posts while wrapped in tefillin and davening to the incest goddess Shekhinah and they would still think he’s “based.” After all, he is posting softcore Japanese anime pornography and his cult followers haven’t batted an eye because he says “Jew” in the post.

This fitna continued even when Sayyed Raisi and Mr. Abdollahian were martyred. After my emotions and worry settled, I remembered to check their channel on the night and morning of the helicopter crash. Not a single du’a or post in hope for their safety.

Only just around the time when it was looking likely that they were martyred, and various eulogy reciters posted black and white photos on their social media channels before it was officially announced, GRN finally made their announcement.

The bodies of the martyrs had not even turned cold from the pure souls departing the bodies, yet Jonathan Goldiner found it necessary to remind everyone “we have been hyper-critical of the Raeisi administration” and continuing to slander the martyr as a “WEF acolyte” even after his martyrdom!

Could one be any more disrespectful to the martyrs? Once again, the LAST person who should have any business criticizing the very real internal problems in Iran is a Jew pretending to be Iraqi.

Yes, these martyrs were not infallible and their administration naturally had shortcomings, many of which were out of their hands because they inherited 30 years of a liberal mess that needs time to clean up, time which was not given to them to complete, as he would have certainly got re-elected and had a full eight years to set the Islamic Republic on a upward trajectory.

However, the last time to bring these things up is when they are freshly martyred and the last person to bring it up at the last time would be a crypto-Jew like Jonathan Goldiner.

I’m ashamed in front of these martyrs that I didn’t have the courage to stand up for them and expose this person when it counted. I was too concerned about my insignificant worldly “reputation” being harmed by their slander and the twisting of what facts they knew about my life due to our previous friendship. But now, I have no fear, especially as I’m not the only one who is, to use GRN’s own lingo, “noticing.”

Previously, the owner of GRN organized a fragile “truce” between me and Jonathan plus his circle. If they agreed to stop lying about me and slandering me, I would agree to not speak about Jonathan publicly. I had not yet seen any indication of them slandering me publicly anymore, so it seems that they were interested in keeping this status quo afloat. Certainly, Jonathan would not want this shocking info to be made public at any cost, so he tried hard to prevent escalation. I was informed by the GRN owner that when they spoke ill of me in their admins’ group chat, Jonathan would step in to say “we’re past that.” It seems like he really wanted this secret to be guarded.

They plan, Allah plans, and Allah is the best of planners, as He says in the Holy Qur’an.

All of what I found out about Jonathan is from publicly available sources and a simple internet search could lead the average person to the same results. That’s why he is only digging himself a deeper grave by attacking those who ask legitimate questions, because these are natural concerns any normal human being would have, and he can’t attack everyone! He’ll eventually have to come clean and address these issues without pointing fingers at a single personality who has raised concerns. Address the message instead of shooting the messenger.

After all, if someone has something bad to hide, their reaction to uncovering of their secret would be confrontation, aggressiveness, defensiveness, dodging the issue, and personal attacks against the person asking questions. A person who has nothing bad to hide would calmly and easily explain the whole situation without attacking the one asking, right? He foolishly raises more suspicions than he extinguishes.

I was recently added to a group chat of different Telegram channel admins. As a father, I don’t have time to keep up so I had it muted and check in when I have the time. One day, I check in and I find that Jonathan was added to the group. I would check the group even less and stopped interacting unless someone tagged me.

One thing I did notice was that one of the group’s admins, who was Arab, had from time to time kindly reminded Jonathan about the group’s policy on profanity. Jonathan apparently didn’t respect that. This admin tested Jonathan, perhaps out of suspicion, by asking him which part of Iraq his family was from. Jonathan then said that his father hails from the holy city of Kufa (the usual schtick), specifically from the town of Al-Aziziyeh (which this time, does actually exist in Iraq in the Kufa area).

First he told my Iraqi friend in 2018 that it was “Al-Azaz” — and he still stuck to Al-Azaz around 2021 when I followed up with him and asked him why I couldn’t find anything about it online — and now he is saying his family comes from Al-Aziziyeh. A drastic change in his “official story”! Do people from Al-Aziziyeh have last names that are exactly like the town’s spelling without any addition such as the “ya” that is common? It would be a great favor if anyone can find some native of the town whose last name is derived from the town’s name itself and see how it is spelled and pronounced.

The Arabic admin then asked him why Azaziah? Jonathan replied by saying that when his family came to Ellis Island they Latinized it as Azaziah.

We’d have to find out when Jonathan’s family came to the US, because Ellis Island closed on 12 November 1954. Maybe he meant it as a general euphemism for immigration checkpoints. Or maybe he meant it literally and can’t get his lies straight.

Some time passed and one day I noticed that the message preview in my Telegram sidebar for that group chat was seemingly erupting with commotion. The admin was telling Jonathan that he reminded him many times to respect the group’s rules and that even if that was something he can’t control elsewhere, at least try to control in the group out of respect.

The admin then removed Jonathan and once removed, leveled with the group that the profanity was not the main reason for his removal. The admin stated that he doubted Jonathan’s authenticity as an Iraqi and did an internet search to find that Azaziah is a name from the Jewish Bible and that he also came across some public record listings which showed that his legal last name is Goldiner, which he deduced was Jewish or at least European and definitely not Iraqi. He said he approached Jonathan privately and asked him, but his answers were not satisfactory. It also made him think that going overboard about the Jewish issue was suspicious in light of his potentially hidden Jewish background, although he is not opposed to discussing the Jewish issue in normal settings.

This absolutely blew my mind! I knew I wasn’t the only simple person who could do the simplest of internet searches. Anyone could do such a thing. This crippling silence, this sense of shame in front of Martyr Raisi, was finally released! I couldn’t believe it! Allah is the guide after all, and alhamdulillah that finally, someone else was able to “notice” something fishy about Jonathan too!

Once I saw this, I finally decided to open up to the group about how I knew this since 2021 but was too afraid of their retaliation to speak up publicly.

It seems like after that incident, when more and more people were finding out about Jonathan’s secret, he went into overdrive mode and became even more over-the-top and theatrical. Maybe he feels like his days are numbered, so he has to make a mockery out of Shi’a Islam, the resistance, and research into the Jewish issue before the jig is up.

Goldiner has fully taken on the Dan Burros persona by openly glorifying Adolf Hitler. Not the reasonable approach of a nuanced approach to World War 2 history in which obviously six million Jews were not killed and there was no policy to kill Jews, whereby the vast majority of Jews killed (totaling less than a million Jews according to Red Cross statistics) during that time period was due to the US bombing Germany to the stone age, with starvation and disease spreading across the entire population, especially the labor camps, which are morally questionable due to the unfairness of collective punishment. In contrast, the Islamic Republic does not collectively punish its Jewish citizens at all. Rather, all the bad things that the Jewish population could potentially wish to do are already illegal under the law for all citizens regardless of race or religion: usury, pornography, etc. However, Germany’s collective punishment only extended to imprisonment in work camps, not murder.

It’s one thing to acknowledge some of the positive policies Germany pursued such as the banning of pornography and usury, as well as the economic policies which built up Germany from the literal ashes, while still being able to simultaneously condemn their racialist worldview (which is not much different from the Jewish worldview they claimed to oppose, just with a different “chosen race”). It’s another thing to post “Heil Hitler,” especially as a hidden Jew, no matter Goldiner or Burros.

The commendable personalities from that period were all German officials who pushed against the racial superiority narrative and instead viewed nationalism as something that should be universal for all nations and peoples of the world, to have self-determination, and to work in solidarity to achieve independence from the bloodsucking international bankers, most of whom were Jewish supremacists. The likes of Johann Von Leers (who converted to Islam and became Omar Amin), Otto Remer, and others had a much better outlook on the world than Hitler himself and his establishment did. Let’s not forget that Imam Khomeini, Martyr Beheshti, and others condemned pure nationalism as a materialistic ideology that is incompatible with Islam, just the same as capitalism and Marxism.

This nuance is forgone and Goldiner started to make “Heil Hitler” posts on GRN — going full Dan Burros. This glorification creates a mockery out of a nuanced approach to World War 2 history that allows us to get a clear picture of what happened. It becomes even more suspicious when you realize it is a Jewish person doing the glorification!

A Jewish filmmaker made a movie called The Believer, based on the life of Burros. It is possible to watch in full online, although it does have some haraam scenes and language so be prepared to look away. In any case, it is hard not to see Jonathan in the main character Danny Balint, a secret Jew that fronts as a neo-Nazi who is also over-the-top and theatrical when it comes to Jews.

“Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew.” – Danny Balint, from the movie The Believer, who is a Jew that hides his identity for the sake of being a neo-Nazi, based on the true life story of Dan Burros.

Sound familiar?

“And when they caught those Nazis, they found that one of them was a Jew. And that Jew went around here talking about Nazis, but they’re nothing but Nazis themselves. You didn’t hear them blow that up in the newspaper, did you? No, they tried to quiet it down. Why, when you find Jews who are Nazis, you really found something.

In fact, I think you can find a whole lot of them who are Nazis. Always running around here trying to make you get sympathetic for them. The Jew is a master at that, make you shed crocodile tears over what happened to him in Germany. You tell him what happened to you right here, you haven’t got no time to cry no tears for no Jews. Cry tears for yourselves. Let him solve his problem and you solve your problem.”

– Martyr Malcolm X (ra)

Jonathan’s clique started to attack the brother who found out Jonathan’s hidden Jewish identity, but of course to avoid drawing attention to the elephant in the room, they deflected by saying that the brother in question is only focusing on akhlaqi issues like cursing rather than addressing the facts that Jonathan addresses. This is utter nonsense, sophistry, or in other words, pilpul.

Sarcastic posts on GRN about “akhlaq (moral) police” were posted often.

The nature of these posts got stranger and stranger. What followed is both strange and disgusting.

Softcore Japanese anime pornography posted by a one Jonathan Azazyahu/Goldiner in the name of Islam and resistance. Censored for your eyes’ sake, as the woman is extremely scantily clad with a nearly fully bare chest showing. According to the rulings of Ayatollah Khamenei, such cartoons are haraam. Astaghfirullah!

Jonathan Goldiner began to post a series of softcore Japanese anime porn cartoons, supposedly to “mock” the “akhlaq police.” The irony? Aside from talking about how Jews dominate the porn industry and also complaining about the laxing of hijab laws by the liberal Pezeshkian administration, he hypocritically contradicts both of those positions by posting softcore pornography of seductive women.

Posting porn makes him more spiritually like Ron Jeremy than Sardar Saeed Ghassemi, the latter of whom I am sure would loudly condemn Jonathan for posting porn in the name of Islam. That is unless Ayatollah al-Goldiner wants to issue a fatwa declaring porn to be halal so long as the word “Jew” is used.

What’s even stranger, how could the supposedly most Hezbollahi guy on earth, Jonathan Goldiner, know the name of this anime character unless he watches these pornographic cartoons himself? Additionally, due to Islam’s great respect for the humanity of women, for him to dehumanize women by posting objectifying photos of them, is his ideology closer to Islamic thought or closer to Jewish pornographer Al Goldstein (who believed in the Talmud’s sexist teaching that women are just “sacks of feces covered in flesh” and once stated that he made porn out of his hatred for Christ)? The disrespect of women speaks volumes.

“You ARE Iraqi”

Also, to prove his Iraqi-ness, his posts are even more filled with Arabic terminology than before, which most of his audience won’t even understand, as it includes a lot of non-Arab Muslims as well as non-Muslim westerners. It could suffice to use “Imam Khamenei” instead of “Sayyed al-Qa’id” (Master Commander, a title mostly Lebanese Arabs use) or saying Japan instead of “Al Yaban,” as the audience would understand those better. Perhaps this is why despite having 60K subscribers, GRN’s posts barely crack 1,000 views per post. The average person senses something is off.

His cult followers have apparently got wind of the increasing pressure on Jonathan and that his charade is cracking and about to come to an end.

I was forwarded screenshots of comments made against me in some unknown group chat by one of his minions. This person said “Ali Salaam is a Jew!” and that I am only able to attack Jonathan personally based on his background. What I am saying about Jonathan is not some petty personal attack — hiding one’s fully Jewish ancestry and pretending to be Arab is not some small, petty matter!

This person, ironically and hypocritically, began to attack me personally! He claimed that I suffer from “residual Judaism” — why, because I’m willing to name a hidden Jew while they are perpetuating his lie? Ironically, he was making use of pilpul to distract from the elephant in the room. Since they can’t prove that I’ve defended the Talmud or endorsed the holocaust narrative, they have to resort to such desperate logical fallacies which only further prove the suspicious nature of Jonathan’s lies. Ironically, they don’t consider Jonathan to be suffering from “residual Judaism” for posting softcore pornography like he’s Al Goldstein.

He then started to name various problems in Iran, from the hijab law laxing to the upper classes being able to build more luxury apartment towers in North Tehran, as if I approve of those things. I am literally banned from certain Iranian state television channels — by the decision of the top editorial managers, as my friends in those networks informed me — since the election of Pezeshkian, most likely due to my criticism of reformists. In some of these stations I was a guest analyst on at least a weekly basis, sometimes more (I had to tell their producers that I am not available, and some of them wouldn’t take no for an answer so easily!). The last time I was ever on one of their channels, aside from the one Arbaeen program that did a profile on my life, was literally on the Friday of the second election that Pezeshkian won. Since then, I hadn’t gotten a call back and the one time I did several months later, I was informed 10 minutes prior to airtime that I was removed last minute, after which my friend informed me about the specific ban policy which the producer had not been aware of prior to booking me for that night.

Despite this, I still support these channels and harbor no hostility towards them: any criticism is constructive, although I will not state my thoughts about areas of improvement publicly. I only bring this up to show that I have skin in the game and have paid the price for my opposition to the liberal fifth column in Iran, except my criticisms are constructive and seek to build up the Islamic Republic and unleash its full latent potential, rather than to tear it down like Goldiner does by spreading hopelessness, slandering the Leader as a powerless figurehead, and ultimately seeking to cause fitna among religious supporters of the revolution because the anti-revolution feminists clearly can’t do the job alone.

They slander me as if I haven’t put in my two cents against the bloodsucking oligarch Abdolnasser Hemmati or the west-toxified bootlicker Javad Zarif. I have lost a ton of respect for Qalibaf over the years during his tenure in the parliament, especially due to his policies after Pezeshkian’s election. However, none of these criticisms are reasons to spread abject pessimism, hopelessness, and fitna. I always believe in constructive criticism to build up the Islamic Republic, because it is the honor, dignity, and treasure of the entire Muslim Ummah, which is why all Muslims, regardless of ethnicity, should be concerned with its health and well-being through understanding its positives and shortcomings. Local issues which affect only Iranians are Iranians’ business, but the rest is indeed the business of all committed Muslims and, to a limited extent, free people of the world.

Once more, the last person who should have anything to say about Iran’s internal issues is someone who is lying about being an Arab while secretly being Jewish, no matter what percent of what he says is true, and of course his criticism being non-constructive and being a form of fitna which only benefits the Zionists and Americans speaks volumes.

Slandering me with strawman arguments only worsens the suspicions against Jonathan. They should have been more smart and not shot their friend in the foot. Personal attacks against those who uncover a Jew cosplaying as an Arab has the opposite effect and raises more red flags. He finished his pitiful gatekeeping for a hidden Jew by saying I should “wear a polyester shirt,” ironically personally attacking me for my healthy lifestyle just after complaining that I personally attack Jonathan. Alhamdulillah, I’m the last one to laugh because I get to maximize my potential testosterone count for my age range due to wearing natural fiber clothes.

The fact that they have to resort to childish slander in order to preemptively discredit me ends up acting as more evidence that there is not a harmless reason that Jonathan has lied about his background.

They still defend and justify their slander against Sayyed Raisi (ra) even after his martyrdom, saying that he should be subject to criticisms. However, Jonathan Azazyahu cannot be subject to criticism and they will viciously attack those who do. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

I’m not writing this article because they violated the truce and my insignificant “reputation” was offended by their baseless, immature lies about me. Like the time when someone spit in the face of Imam Ali (as) during battle and he walked away for a moment, only to return and deliver the final death blow to the enemy, so that the blow is for the sake of Allah and not avenging an insult to his ego, I am doing this for the sake of their insults to Martyr Raisi, Martyr Abdollahian, and posting pornography in the name of Islam and resistance!

The ball is in Jonathan’s court now to explain himself clearly without pointing the finger at anyone else nor naming anyone personally. Pointing the finger will only make the problem worse. If he can explain himself without any personal attacks against anyone, myself or otherwise, then we will be able to know if his reasons for pretending to be Arab are harmless and innocent, or if it is just more convenient “excuses.” Jonathan and his followers should be smart this time: personal attacks against those asking questions will not help your case.

If I am wrong and there is a harmless reason for Jonathan pretending to be Iraqi, then I will profusely apologize and retract this article fully.

Even more reason that attacking me will only make him look worse: I am being fair in all of this and willing to be open to the potential that I have made a mistake.

Will Jonathan be able to attack every single person who asks questions? Or will he finally own up to these valid concerns?

After all, it seems there are many others who are “noticing” similar things about Jonathan.

The Arab-origin brother who also found out that Azaziah is a Hebrew name and that Goldiner is Jonathan’s other legal last name through a simple internet search, did another simple search of “Azaziah Goldiner” and found that some readers of the blog of a random writer named Ian Welsh are well-aware of Jonathan’s schtick.

In an article by Mr. Welsh about Osama Bin Laden, a one “JM Goldiner” (Jonathan Michael is Jonathan’s first and middle name) left a comment.

This sounds a lot like Jonathan, it can’t be someone pretending to be him. Maybe the comments system uses Google or some other means of autologin and he forgot to logout of his Goldiner account and switch to his “Azaziah” account.

The replies to his comment (this random blog seems to have an interactive fan base) couldn’t help but “notice” things about Jonathan.

Jonathan can take pot shots at Jessica and Sara here too, but eventually he will run out of people to attack for asking him to be honest and transparent.

Just as a chance, I did an internet search with Azaziah specific to Ian Welsh’s URL. SubhanAllah, I found even more people commenting about Jonathan and his hidden identity.

Attacking me only solidifies my position and worsens Jonathan’s.

Transparency is the only proper answer.

Imagine when the Syrian state captured Eli Cohen. What do you think his initial reaction was? Anger and denying everything, attacking the person who captured him. A clean and innocent person wouldn’t lash out if their identity was hidden for legitimate reasons, they would be able to calmly explain the reason for everything and their answers would be reassuring.

Slandering me will only vindicate me. Even killing me will vindicate me and grant me the gift of martyrdom, especially if it is revealed later with concrete evidence that Jonathan is an agent of some sort, how sweet it would be to be martyred at the hands of the Zionist Jews as retaliation for exposing this. Nothing can stop the truth. They can kill the man who spoke it, but they can’t kill what he spoke.

Jonathan’s minions will try to say “but Ali Salaam is a converted Jew too so who is he to criticize?!” as if the comparison is apples to apples. I have never hidden who I am nor made a fake backstory about myself. It is clear that my argument is not over whatever ethnicity Jonathan is, be it Arab, Mizrahi, or Ashkenazi (with maybe a quarter Mizrahi from his mother’s half-Moroccan side). I wouldn’t care what he or anyone else is, as we cannot choose how or where we are born in life, but we can choose what we do with the life Allah gave us, which includes choosing to be honest and transparent. It is hiding it, lying about it, and cosplaying as something else which is the issue that they are trying to distract from with these strawman arguments and other logical fallacies (in other words, pilpul).

Just imagine the situation was reversed. Imagine that I hid my Jewish background and made a fake backstory about myself, claiming that my father was an Orthodox Christian Russian who escaped the Bolshevik Jews of the USSR and that I was inspired by Imam Khomeini’s letter to Gorbachev to research Shi’a Islam and that I realized it was a continuation of the mission of Christ without the distortions of the trinity. Imagine if I engaged in suspiciously over-the-top behavior and then claimed that anyone who doesn’t want to say “Jew” every other word is a sellout and an apologist for the Talmud. Then a journalist or researcher of Russian origin comes out and says that the last name I was born with is typical of Jewish families in Russia and Ukraine, and that there is no way my father was a Christian. If I attacked the person who figured out that I was not originally Christian, wouldn’t that be suspicious and further confirm the suspicions against me? If my reasons were harmless, such as being embarrassed of my background, then I should be able to calmly come clean without attacking those who ask for clarification. If I attacked those who simply asked for the truth, it would only further prove that there was something off.

Therefore, my position in being suspicious of Jonathan is reasonable and is a position that most level-headed people would also take in reaction to a fake backstory and a hidden Jewish identity.

As a final note, I do not apologize nor retract ever having spoken the truth about what Jews believe in. The only thing I regret is that my style of delivering these truths was confrontational and immature, due to the influence that Jonathan had over me. Since 2021-2022, after I realized who this person really is and that his style is suspicious, I have matured greatly and my potential no longer squandered. I apologize to those whom I had introduced to Jonathan, especially the Muslim community where I lived that I had introduced Jonathan to them in person. I hope that me being fooled by him didn’t bring any harm on anyone. I’m sorry to anyone whom this is news to, that if you were fooled like me and your heart has broken because of it, I was in the same place as you when I first felt betrayed by this great deception.

If I am wrong about any of this, I will apologize and defend Jonathan more strongly than the time we were friends. But I’m not holding my breath. I am not claiming that he is an actual paid agent, as that would need concrete evidence. It is possible he is one. It is also possible he is not a direct agent and may be doing this for free out of his own convictions, if he is not just ethnically Jewish (which by itself wouldn’t be a problem if he wasn’t lying about his father being Iraqi and only telling some people that his mother is Jewish) but more importantly ideologically Jewish. It may also be possible that like Dan Burros (and Danny Balint in the film adaptation of Burros’ life), he is simply mental. Allah knows best and I hope the truth can be settled one way or another.

Jonathan should be thankful that at least I was fair and just to him and gave him ample opportunity to face his accusations. I could have easily exploded with anger and gone directly to the public in 2021, using the information I had to jump to all sorts of conclusions, no matter how valid or invalid. He should be relieved that I care about justice, as if someone else had discovered all this info, they would not have been as kind and would not have patiently waited for four years.

While I know my work will eventually cause my name to be bumped up on the Zionists’ and Americans’ black book of people to eliminate, this is the first piece that may directly threaten my life. Pray for me that I am worthy of martyrdom but at the right time after I have had a chance to serve Allah more on this earth and to be killed at the order of a more worthy opponent than some lowly fake Iraqi.
