Mike Huckabee's analogies regarding land rights and defense, specifically his suggestion that if a people like the Irish can defend their land, they can keep it—have been viewed as a significant rhetorical own goal that complicates the very pro-Israel stance he intended to defend. Critics and media analysts have highlighted several major ramifications of this logic and analysts have noted the internal contradiction in Huckabee's argument. By shifting the justification from a divine mandate (the Promised Land) to a right of conquest/defense media commentators pointed out that the Irish analogy is particularly fraught. If land ownership is determined solely by...

The Vatican will not join President Donald Trump’s newly formed Board of Peace, its top diplomatic official said Tuesday, signaling reluctance from the Holy See to take part in the post-war initiative. Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said the Holy See "will not participate in the Board of Peace because of its particular nature, which is evidently not that of other States," the Vatican’s official news outlet reported. The Board of Peace, which was chartered in January and includes nearly 20 countries, is tasked with managing recovery efforts in the Gaza Strip after the Israel-Hamas war. While responding...

"Restore Britain has been called ‘far-right’ and ‘racist’ by the Guardian, Reform and the whole host of soapless socialists over the last few days. I cannot be clearer in our official party response. We do not care. The illegals will go. The hotels will be emptied, the HMOs closed. Foreign sex pests, criminals and invaders will be rounded up, and they will be sent home. Far more legals will leave than enter. Those foreign nationals here already will pay their way, they will contribute, they will respect our culture. If they don’t do that? Fine. Their choice. They will leave...

Jewish activists in Brighton say pro-Palestine canvassers are engaging in a 'campaign of intimidation' by knocking on the doors of locals and asking them to boycott Israeli products. Members of the Brighton and Hove Apartheid-Free Zone (AFZ) group were filmed going door-to-door in the city on February 7, asking residents to sign a pledge against goods manufactured in Israel. The group says it is expressing solidarity with Palestinians who have been killed and displaced in Gaza, taking inspiration from the Anti-Apartheid Movement that targeted South Africa in the latter half of the 20th century.

Foul-mouthed lefty radicals stormed a Jewish temple to ambush and mock Long Island Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi this week over his initial vote to back a GOP-led spending bill that pumps more cash into ICE. The activists — from the left-wing advocacy group Climate Defiance — caused chaos inside the house of worship in Roslyn where Suozzi was speaking Wednesday night, crudely showing up with diapers and kneepads and cursing the self-described “moderate” Dem for joining his Republican colleagues last week in passing a $64.4 billion funding package for the Department of Homeland Security. Suozzi ended up changing his vote...

The owner of an Ethiopian-Israeli restaurant in Harlem says she has been forced to close her establishment for regular dining due to alleged harassment and antisemitism. Beejhy Barhany, owner of the Tsion Cafe, told the New York Post that hate directed at her restaurant intensified after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which prompted the country’s war with Hamas. Barhany also told the outlet that the alleged hate and harassment have left her “demoralized.” “I answered the phone once at the restaurant and the caller said, ‘You dirty Jew. We should erase you from the map,'” Barhany said. “I...

Who is Tucker Carlson? Even among the modern breed of American far-Right pundits, competing to be the loudest and most extreme voice on an oversaturated digital scene, he stands out as an oddity. Whatever you think of him, he isn’t predictable. He opposes abortion and immigration; his views on race have included describing Iraqis as “primitive monkeys”. Yet he has repeatedly given airtime to anti-Semitic guests, and seemed to implicate Israel in the murder of Charlie Kirk – hardly normal for even hardline conservatives. Nor is his decrying of the destruction of Gaza. Watching Carlson, or listening to his ultra-popular...

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Dannon, wrote an opinion article titled, “Why are Jews still attacked worldwide?” To answer this staggering question, Danon wrote: International Holocaust Remembrance Day is meant to stop time. To force the world to confront the industrial murder of six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators. We remember these atrocities because memory is supposed to protect the future and because education is meant to prevent repetition. But honoring the victims demands more than ritual; it demands responsibility. That is why remembrance ceremonies take place, year after year,...

My sister saw Gary Cooper in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as a teenager, so that she became a political junkie.She watched LBJ's "Gulf of Tonkin" speech live on t.v.; she stated that she could tell he was lying because his knuckles were white clutching the podium. History records that it was a false flag operation designed to ensure LJB's election in the 1963 Presidential Campaign, as documented in "Flawed Giant: Lyndon Johnson and His Times, 1961–1973" by Robert Dallek.This strategy was repeated in Operation Cyanide, the false flag attack upon the U.S.S. Liberty which nearly resulted in the nuking...

A 17-year-old student in New York threatened to kill all Jewish people at his school at 2:00 p.m. in an email sent to more than 300 classmates Monday.

President Donald Trump has announced he is seeking $1 billion in damages from Harvard University, accusing the institution of attempting to avoid a settlement through a job training proposal he described as “wholly inadequate” and alleging that its actions rise to the level of criminal misconduct. […] Trump’s administration has maintained that Harvard acted with “deliberate indifference” toward Jewish and Israeli students and has cited a series of incidents—including physical altercations during anti-Israel protests and the hiring of individuals previously involved in such events—as grounds for punitive action. The Department of Justice’s Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, led by Leo...

The video marks the first time Trump has launched such a blunt, direct attack against these antisemitic influencers, who regularly criticize the president's foreign policy and his close ties to Israel. The move signals Trump's willingness to confront elements within his own political coalition over their antisemitic rhetoric, even as he seeks to consolidate support across the Republican Party.
