A group of Israelis was attacked in Ayia Napa after being identified as Hebrew speakers. Witnesses say a group of pro-Palestinian activists confronted and assaulted them because they were Israeli. This time, one Israeli refused to back down. He fought back with a single punch, knocking one of the attackers unconscious.

Suddenly, the stories began trickling in. One after another, their patients – male and female alike – started to tell them about depths of human evil that are hard to fathom. And they – who thought that they had heard it all, who dealt with every kind of life-altering trauma – realized that something entirely different was happening here. That in Israel, too, a phenomenon known as ritual abuse exists – and that almost no one is talking about it. Now, they say, they have collated testimonies from more than 50 victims and are ready to end the conspiracy of...

Karoline Leavitt has confirmed that Xi Jinping's September visit to the White House will still happen despite President Donald Trump's speech on Thursday, accusing China of election meddling. Trump spoke from the East Room last night, delivering a highly anticipated speech about the integrity of the U.S. electoral process, saying it was "catastrophically" short of standards of fairness and trust. "No country can be great without fair and honest elections," Trump said at the White House in an address that began with a familiar rehashing of his favorite campaign boasts, including claims of an unprecedentedly booming economy," he said. "If...

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT Psalm 23 "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" - the crowd would listen attentively. And then, at the conclusion of the Psalm, they would rise in thunderous applause in appreciation of the actor's incredible ability to bring the verse to life. But one night, just before the actor was to offer his customary recital of Psalm 23, a young man from the audience spoke up. "Sir, do you mind if tonight I recite Psalm 23?" The actor was quite taken back by this unusual request, but he allowed the young man to...

As Estonia's Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur prepared to fly to the NATO summit in Ankara this month, he revealed to local journalists that several hundred U.S. troops deployed to his Baltic nation in the winter had quietly been withdrawn – with no clear sign of when or whether they might return. At the Ankara gathering itself, delegates from the Baltic states and Poland proudly wore badges proclaiming themselves members of the "five percent club", the only nations in the NATO alliance to have already reached the spending ​target set at last year's meeting in The Hague – a status they...

The battle for the House majority will be won or lost in congressional districts like New York-17, NY-3, and NY-4, three crucial swing seats in suburban New York City. And as Republicans work to hold onto their razor-thin House majority in this autumn's midterm elections, they view the ongoing battle between the left-wing and the center-left establishment for the future of the Democratic Party as political ammunition as they portray Democrats as radicals. "Democrats have gone further and further and further to the left with no end in sight," Republican Rep. Mike Lawler argued in a Fox News Digital interview....

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed — who has questioned whether police officers need to carry guns — spent years on the campaign trail protected by an armed guard, according to his former security director. El-Sayed, who has been endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the Democratic primary, has faced renewed scrutiny after a 2020 University of Michigan video resurfaced showing him questioning police funding and the need for armed officers. During his Senate campaign, however, he has said he does not support defunding police. “Do people really need to use guns? Do we need as much of a police...

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) boasted that Minnesota liberals “defeated ICE’s racist terror campaign” in a cringey video trying to hop on a new TikTok-like trend — but the embattled lefty was swiftly roasted for her efforts. Plopped into a seat, “The Squad” member adjusted her blazer and fidgeted with a microphone as if she were about to be interviewed in the 10-second clip she shared Wednesday on Facebook. Omar, 43, took a deep breath as dramatic instrumental music played in the background. “Me preparing for the documentary on how we defeated ICE’s racist terror campaign in Minnesota,” she wrote...

AC/DC singer Brian Johnson said he was having much more fun as an older musician than he’d had in the past.His comments appear to be at odds with those of Mick Jagger, who recently said there was nothing good about ageing.Perhaps four years is all it takes to make the difference – Johnson is 78 while his Rolling Stones counterpart is 82. In any case, Johnson recently told USA Today that hitting the stage was more enjoyable now.“I think it’s still the unknown,” he said in the video interview. “You’re all rehearsed; you know all your parts and your bits...

Jordan made the comments in a sit-down with Elie Cantin-Nantel of EMCN Media, an independent Canadian digital media venture.

The Ohio Republican said Canada’s Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, would reach beyond Canadian borders because Americans routinely communicate with and travel to the...

How are elections stolen? How are democracies threatened? Retired senior CIA official Gary Berntsen reveals the incredible story of how the Venezuelans hacked America’s elections. And the United States did nothing to stop it. “I'd like to just jump in and say that I'm a retired CIA officer.

I was the chief of Hezbollah operations globally, chief of station in the Middle East, and chief of station a couple of times in Latin America. I've basically been in an ops environment for...

There’s a new world record in the world of running. At the Diamond League meet in London on Saturday, Scottish runner Josh Kerr posted a blazing 3:42.66 mile to break a 27-year men’s record. Hicham El Guerrouj previously ran a 3:43.13 in 1999, but Kerr, 28, has now become a world record holder. Kerr said in March that he was aiming to break the record, and he did just that in front of 60,000 fans at London Stadium.“It’s very overwhelming with the amount of hype [I created],” he told BBC Sport. “It’s silly to call [the attempt] that early because...
