🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(11/7/25)[Prayer]Water, Rivers, and Streams in the BiblePsalm 11 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that...

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 183 The people of Israel live. Am Yisrael Chai. In this moving episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay talks about his recent (first ever) trip to Israel and what he learned most. Join him for a powerful story.

Former US Vice President Dick Cheney “just loved Israel,” recalls Michael Oren, past Israeli ambassador to Washington. Oren was in the room as an Israeli reservist in the 1991 Gulf War when Cheney, then defense secretary, and his counterpart Moshe Arens met to discuss the response to Iraqi Scud missile attacks on Israeli cities. He was the Israeli notetaker, as Cheney sought to convince Israel not to respond. “The Israeli government was telling the administration that we couldn’t wait anymore, that the paratroopers were out on the runway ready to go to western Iraq,” says Oren. Cheney feared that the...

Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech in the New York mayoral race was carried live on Israeli television and radio, a sign of the deep concern in the Jewish state about the next leader of the city with the world’s largest population of Jews. “The Big Apple has fallen,” Avigdor Liberman, the leader of a right-wing opposition party and former foreign minister, said through a spokesman. He urged “New York Jews who want to survive” to emigrate “to where they belong — the land of Israel.” Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, was more sober, vowing in a post...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(11/6/25)[Prayer]Water, Rivers, and Streams in the Bible1 Samuel 2:12-1812 “But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we want a king to rule over us’—even though the Lord your God was your king. 13 Now here is the king you have chosen, the one you asked for; see, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you fear the Lord and serve and obey him and do not rebel against his commands, and if both you and the king who reigns...

Pro-Palestinian positions may have fueled Mamdani’s politics and established his early volunteer base, but they didn’t win him the election. The New Yorkers who voted for him “overwhelmingly” said cost of living is their top issue, reported CNN. For most New Yorkers who hit the polls, questions about Mamdani’s attitude toward Israel — and even concerns about antisemitism — paled in importance beside affordability. Yet one tone-deaf Jewish leader after another pleaded with voters to reject Mamdani because of his highly critical attitude toward Israel. That stance, they said, could lead to attacks on Jewish New Yorkers. Exactly why should...

A top Hamas leader said Tuesday that the terror group and the Palestinian Authority have come to an agreement regarding the establishment of a temporary committee that will manage the Gaza Strip on behalf of the PA. The committee’s responsibilities will include overseeing the border crossings and the security forces in the Strip, Moussa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera, adding that it will be headed by a PA minister. Abu Marzouk didn’t clarify during the interview whether this decision was approved by the US as well as the PA, meaning it was unclear whether there is any weight to the...

Trump spent all year on the Middle East, his big donors loved this, the voters did not. Virginia is going to be under a Democrat super majority now. Keep listening to Mark Levin, Mr President, and you’ll be back to impeachment trials in 2026.

In recent months, public attention has increasingly focused on the phenomenon of religious strengthening among Israelis following the war. The Institute for Liberty and Responsibility was the first to highlight this phenomenon through public opinion surveys we conducted during the war. In these surveys, we found that nearly one-third of Israelis report that the experience of war strengthened their faith in God, and more than a quarter report that they drew closer to religious tradition. We also found that the growing closeness to religion in the shadow of war is particularly noticeable among young people. These findings led us to...

Tucker Carlson’s post-Fox News trajectory is a timeline of escalating provocation and plummeting credibility.Its culmination: His Oct. 28 interview with Nick Fuentes, a sworn enemy of Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and an America worth living in.After leaving Fox in 2023, Carlson pivoted toward an independent, subscriber-based platform that increasingly catered to extremist voices, abandoning the broad conservative appeal that had made him a household name.His September 3, 2024, hosting of Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper drew sharp rebukes from influential Republicans, highlighting Carlson’s willingness to amplify venomous narratives.By September 10, leading conservative outlets decried Carlson’s endorsement of Cooper as “the...

The Israeli anti-drone and anti-missile laser weapon, the Iron Beam 450, is said to be ready to be deployed in Israel. From the timesofisrael.com: The Iron Beam is not meant to replace the Iron Dome or Israel’s other air defense systems, but to supplement and complement them, shooting down smaller projectiles and leaving larger ones for the more robust missile-based batteries such as the David’s Sling and Arrow systems.As long as there is a constant source of energy for the laser, there is no risk of it ever running out of ammunition. Officials have hailed it as a potential “game-changer”...

Critics have long said that accusations of famine in Gaza have a gaping hole right in the middle: the staggering amount of emaciated, dead bodies, part and parcel of a famine, are simply nowhere to be found. When the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a United Nations-linked food-security agenda, determined in August that a famine was indeed ongoing in parts of Gaza, those behind the report said that the sheer devastation in Gaza did not allow for an accurate accounting of starvation-related deaths. Instead, they said, they were using another key criterion for famine that generally goes hand in hand...

Will “Palestinian liberation” become New York City’s political future?Zohran Kwame Mamdani wants to be the next mayor of New York City. But before voters even consider handing him the keys to City Hall, one question demands an answer: How can someone who proudly backs the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel – a movement that violates New York State policy – be trusted to lead the nation’s largest city?New York’s BDS BanNearly a decade ago, then-Governor Andrew Cuomo took a clear stand against anti-Israel boycotts.

Tucker Carlson markets his reporting as "real journalism." Yet while he didn't go completely off the deep end in his recent so-called 9/11 documentary, he fell in with big-name grifters who ignore the facts that destroy their 9/11 conspiracy theories. He did little to further serious inquiry into how government agencies and officials failed to thwart the attacks. Carlson proclaims the 9/11 Commission Report "is a complete joke" and demands a second commission as if it would somehow be "bipartisan" and not another "cover up." Tucker did some covering up of his own. In August, it was widely reported that...
