Senate Democrats have undergone a steady tonal shift on Israel, with a recent vote to block arms sales to the Jewish State giving a glimpse at the evolution on the Hill. More Democrats in the upper chamber than ever before voted alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to halt the $675 million sale of thousands of bombs and guidance kits for the bombs and to block the sale of automatic rifles to Israel. […] “What’s going on is unacceptable, and Israel has the power to fix it,” Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, told Fox News Digital. Like Sanders, King typically caucuses with...

Americans’ support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza is dropping rapidly, prompting pro-Israel Democrats and some of President Donald Trump’s long-time allies to warn that the country could permanently damage its standing in the United States. A Gallup poll released this week found that just 32% of US adults support Israel’s military actions in Gaza — a record low since the war was launched in response to Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terror attack. The poll also found the strongest partisan split yet: Support among those who identify themselves as Republicans remained strong, at 71%. But just 8% of Democrats and...

Just as Americanists opposed and condemned as communist the Anti-Defamation League and similar organizations (including the American Jewish Congress), many Americanist leaders distrusted and denounced Zionism and the State of Israel. “[There is] more ideological and cultural kinship between Israel and the Soviet Union than between Israel and the United States,” declared Dan Smoot in 1969.97 “Behold, then, this strange situation,” he added: “Israel and the Soviet Union, with harsh words, are pursuing a common objective in the Middle East; to isolate all Arab countries from the United States and drive them into the Soviet orbit . . .” 98...

The Trump administration’s suspension of grants at UCLA totaling $584 million has imperiled research in an array of subjects. Professors at the university said that some researchers rely on the funding to pay their salaries, and the loss of the money could be devastating. Their medical research focuses on potentially lifesaving breakthroughs in cancer treatment, and developing tools to more easily diagnose debilitating diseases. Their studies in mathematics could make online systems more robust and secure. But as the academic year opens, the work of UCLA’s professors in these and many other fields has been imperiled by the Trump administration’s...

Despite grappling with fears for a son held hostage in the middle of a deadly war zone, Yehuda Cohen still holds onto hope. "I have three children, I'm going to have three children until the last day of my life," he said. "Nimrod will come back and complete our family." It is a sentiment which is obviously fuelled by a father's love, but it is also borne out of necessity — a sense of purpose, even as the window of opportunity for his family to be reunited with one another seems to be getting narrower by the hour. A photo...

When it comes to sounding yet another alarm about the rising tide of antisemitism worldwide, it’s important that we do not overstate things. After all, we don’t want to be like the boy who kept crying wolf until no one believed him anymore, even when a real wolf arrived. But when it comes to antisemitism, it’s actually very hard to overstate things or to sound a false alarm. That’s because things continue to go from very bad to even worse. In Canada, there has been such a surge in antisemitic since the October 7, 2023 massacre that the envoy appointed...

@RepMTG Nuclear-armed Israel is not hurting, and they've already proven that they are more than capable of not only defending themselves, but annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide. The reason why AIPAC is attacking me is because I dared to tell the truth. We’re $37 TRILLION in debt. I’m fighting for America’s future generations. AMERICA ONLY now.

Are Jewish patients safe in hospitals from pro-Hamas medical professionals? Antisemitism in health care is causing many Jews to wonder if they are safe under hospital care, as it has grown to outrageous levels in the West. Last March, Israeli new site ynet news reported: OHSU [Oregon Health and Science University Hospital] fires nurse Camesha Hart after antisemitic posts, including refusal to treat Jews and praise for Hamas, saying Bibas family should be 'grateful' their bodies weren’t returned in body bags; her nursing license remains valid through 2025. From Australia, the BBC reported: A second Sydney nurse who allegedly appeared...

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has had enough of the spineless “good ole boys” network that’s betraying President Trump’s MAGA movement just six months into his triumphant return to the White House. In an explosive 45-minute interview with the Daily Mail, MTG didn’t hold back, slamming the GOP for abandoning its base and reverting to the warmongering neocon days of yore. “I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to Republican Party as much anymore,” she told the outlet. “I don’t know which one it is.” Her loyalty to President Trump...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to propose fully reoccupying the Gaza Strip when he meets his security cabinet, Israeli media say. "The die has been cast. We're going for the full conquest of the Gaza Strip – and defeating Hamas," local journalists quote a senior official saying. Responding to reports that the army chief and other military leaders oppose the plan, the unnamed official said: "If that doesn't work for the chief of staff, he should resign." The families of hostages fear such plans could endanger their loved ones, with 20 out of 50 believed to be alive in...

* Halt to Gaza Evacuations: France will deport a Palestinian student from Gaza and halt all further evacuations from the war-torn enclave after she allegedly posted antisemitic content on social media. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on August 1 that 25-year-old Nour Atallah “must leave the country. She does not have a place in France,” adding that “no evacuation of any kind will take place until we have drawn the consequences of this investigation.” * “Kill the Jews Everywhere”: A now-deleted social media account belonging to Atallah contained an image of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler with the caption “kill...

At a United Nations conference in New York this week, the Holy See reaffirmed its longstanding support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, calling it the “only viable and equitable path” to a just and lasting peace. Archbishop Gabriele Caccia, the Holy See’s Permanent Observer to the UN, stressed that peace must be rooted in “secure and internationally recognized borders,” according to Vatican News. He also condemned the terrorist attacks by Hamas, stating that “in the light of the profound anguish and terrible human suffering that has befallen the region,” the Holy See “unequivocally” denounces such violence. “Terrorism...

The Netherlands’ counter-terrorism authority has included Israel in its latest report as one of the state actors assessed to pose a threat to the country’s security. The country is thus placed alongside Iran, North Korea and Turkey, among others. The Netherlands’ National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security (NCTV) published on July 17, 2025, its annual report “Assessment of threats from state actors 2025” (Beoordeling Dreigingen door Staatactoren 2025), where Israel is listed for the first time as a security-threatening actor. Israel’s placement on the list is linked to assessments that the country uses informal methods to influence public opinion and...

Palestinian statehood comes at the end of negotiations for a two-state solution and that process can no longer be held in abeyance, Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Thursday. “A negotiated two-state solution remains the only path that can offer people on both sides a life in peace, security, and dignity,” he said in a statement issued shortly before his trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories, as reported by Ynet News. “For Germany, the recognition of a Palestinian state comes more at the end of that process. But such a process must begin now.” Wadephul’s remarks follow a string...

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday many people were starving in Gaza and suggested Israel could do more on humanitarian access, as Palestinians struggled to feed their children a day after Israel declared steps to improve supplies. As the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, Gaza health authorities say, with images of starving children shocking the world and fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions. Describing starvation in Gaza as real, Trump's assessment put him at odds with Israeli Prime Minister...
