1)
Let’s talk about @medeabenjamin of @Codepink who attempted to disrupt a @HudsonInstitute session hosting U.S. Special Envoy Brian Hook.
2)
To practice fair journalism, here’s the video.
3)
Here’s some interesting link between @medeabenjamin & #Iran’s regime.
This image shows her being interviewed by Iran’s state-run IRIB TV inside Iran with a headscarf.
She is described as a “Writer & political activist from the U.S.”
4)
BTW, Iranians have called for sanctions against IRIB through this hashtag:
#BanIRIB
5)
It is also quite interesting to see @JZarif welcoming this move by @medeabenjamin.
If you ask me, this raises quite a few questions about the relationship between Benjamin & #Iran's regime...
6)
And when you see @BahmanKalbasi, a known #Iran regime operative/apologist, tweeting in support of @medeabenjamin, it’s literally case closed.
7)
This user on Twitter, @nedahami, replies to @BahmanKalbasi saying @medeabenjamin works for #Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
8)
Here @medeabenjamin is seen being interviewed by #Iran’s “roshangari.ir” website, an outlet linked to the regime’s hardliners.

In this interview @medeabenjamin says “Iran has an important role in resolving the situation in Yemen… I believe it is very important for me to come to Iran because our governments need to work together.”
10)
Excuse me?!
Was she sent to #Iran by @BarackObama?
I’ve expressed my thoughts about #Obama before & this raises even more suspicions for me.
11)
And here’s her being interviewed by #Iran’s @Tasnimnews_Fa news agency.
Date: October 12, 2014 (The #Obama years…)
This outlet is affiliated directly to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force

#Iran’s IRGC Quds Force has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department since 2007.

In that particular interview with Tasnim, @medeabenjamin says:
“I believe it is shameless for U.S. media to portray Iran as a terrorist state that seeks hostility and is deceitful.”
14)
@medeabenjamin has another interview with Tasnim titled:
“Medea Benjamin: Iran is the key to resolve problems in the region”

15)
Here are more images of her visit to #Iran.
16)
@medeabenjamin & @Codepink were also invited to #Iran back in 2008 by firebrand president Mahmoud @Ahmadinejad1956, the same guy who denied the Holocaust.

Their objective was to “model for the new Obama administration the power of cooperative good will…”
18)
@medeabenjamin has also written a book promoting appeasement (the same policy adopted by @BarackObama) vis-a-vis #Iran’s regime.

19)
I truly wonder if this “anti-war” activist has received money from #Iran’s regime…
20)
Conclusion: Yours to make.
I welcome any & all constructive feedback.
Thanks for reading!
Best!

ADDENDUM:
After @JZarif & @BahmanKalbasi, now we are seeing @tparsi coming to the support of @medeabenjamin.
They are all defending & lobbying for the filth known as #Iran's regime.
22)
ADDENDUM:
#Iran apologist/lobbyist @NIACouncil's tweet just says it all about @medeabenjamin.
