There is no evidence... that Jews were behind the alleged arson. [US Ambassador to Israel Mike] Huckabee should be commended for understanding that the Palestinians had lied to him when they claimed that Jews were behind the arson. "In recent days, a despicable and false blood libel has been raging around the world against the settlements, reminiscent of dark periods in Europe, and it has so far managed to deceive quite a few lovers of Israel in the US... No 'nationalist crime' event by Jews was carried out, no church was set on fire, and no cemetery was desecrated.

Isn’t it strange how some of the most notorious white supremacist groups — the same ones that idolize Hitler and celebrate the Holocaust — suddenly claim to care about brown “Palestinian” Arabs? Their selective outrage is telling. The very people who glorify real genocide now pretend to oppose a fake one — using the term “genocide” only when they can aim it at Jews. Let’s be clear: the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, which doubles as a propaganda arm, manipulates casualty figures while ensuring civilian suffering by using human shields and obstructing aid. This isn’t about humanitarian concern — it’s about...

Did we hit Iran hard enough before we stopped? This is always the question, anytime you engage in diplomacy, warfare, or a combination of the two. When it becomes necessary to do something, the question is “How much?” Israel has led the effort against Iran, as Iran has been the chief aggressor against Israel. For 46 years now, the mullahs who rule that poor country have not only threatened Israel (and the USA too) on a constant basis, they have also funded, trained, and directed numerous terrorist organizations in the region, chief among which are Hamas of Gaza, Hezbollah of...

Why is it always the West versus Iran? Iranian American lawyer Elica Le Bon says the Islamic Republic’s very ideology is built around opposing the West, reinforced by slogans like “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” But what would Iran actually do with a nuclear weapon? Le Bon argues the greater threat isn't an attack, but the regime becoming a powerful deterrent state one that cannot be deterred. Is Iran truly an existential threat to Israel? And why do millions of Iranians oppose the regime so strongly? In this episode of the Riz Khan Show, Le Bon explains how...

They want us to leave, so they can rearm and attack us again and again. I will not accept this;...

Middle East specialist Andrew Fox joins The Winston Marshall Show for a haunting, firsthand account of the horrors unfolding in Gaza—and the global narratives that refuse to face the truth.

He explains how Hamas manipulates both civilians and the global media to fuel its propaganda war, while using human shields to mask its operations. They discuss the international community’s moral double standards, the weaponisation of victimhood, and the psychological toll on those who witness the atrocities firsthand. All this—media distortion, humanitarian tragedy,...

Nothing will ever be easy with congressional Republicans. The reconciliation package aged all of us 35 years, as Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had to whip votes, hold the line, and make some phone calls. President Trump was also working the phones heavily when final passage was at stake in the House. Republican leadership held the line, but with Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) retiring after the reconciliation vote, delivering what’s left of the Trump agenda before the 2026 midterms is about to get even tougher. The House did its job and passed the rescission package, but...

The illusion of Iranian power was kept alive for decades by American engagement with the would-be lords of the Middle East. Now the spell is broken, and the ‘Axis of Resistance’ is shattered.

A few months before he was buried under the rubble of his Beirut bunker, the late leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, repeated to his followers, as he had done many times before, his famous line that Israel was...
