In his September 24, 2026, address to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s strikes on Iran and its conduct in Gaza, describing the years since October 7 as a seven-front war. Recalling the Six-Day War and his brother Yoni’s role in the Entebbe rescue, he repeated the refrain, “We have no other choice.” Delegates staged a walkout as the speech began, prompting Netanyahu to invite any remaining “moral cowards” to leave. He praised President Donald Trump, rejected accusations of genocide, and sharply criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Qatar, and Turkey. He also voiced support for...

A breakdown of the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry's own fatality list shows young men heavily overrepresented, while women and young children are underrepresented relative to Gaza's population. By Gila Isaacson — Sep. 23, 2026 A demographic breakdown of the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry's own fatality list is circulating widely on social media.

The chart compares the ministry's list of identified fatalities from October 7, 2023 through May 7, 2026 against U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for Gaza, broken...

Gaza terrorists joked about the October 2023 invasion of Israel as the attack was taking place, according to contemporaneous phone calls released in a US federal investigation on Tuesday that gave an inside view of terrorists’ immediate reaction to the Hamas attack and their preparations to join the invasion. The call logs were released in the case against Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub al-Muhtadi, who allegedly assembled a team of armed terrorists and crossed into Israel to join the attack, and later lied on his visa application to enter the US. He was arrested in Louisiana last year. Al-Muhtadi was allegedly a...

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) said President Trump’s MAGA movement is “eating itself” after conservative commentator Tucker Carlson praised the progressive while tearing into his GOP opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers. El-Sayed was asked Monday about Carlson’s comments on the race earlier this month, when the former Fox News host said he “wouldn’t vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint” and propped up El-Sayed’s “Trumpian” campaign.

The problem was not Robert Kraft’s decision. The problem is how we explain it. We removed the messenger from the stage without confronting the lie he was spreading. We focused on Macklemore–his rhetoric, his history, the hurt his words cause–when the far greater threat is the message itself. And in doing so, we inadvertently helped create precisely the narrative Macklemore and his defenders wanted. Now the story practically writes itself: Macklemore dared to “speak truth to power.” He said what others supposedly do not want Americans to hear, and for his courage, a Jewish billionaire and other venue owners took...

Being blacklisted by CAIR a ‘badge of honor,’ Republican Jewish Coalition says. Sam Markstein, national political director and spokesman for the Republican Jewish Coalition, told JNS on Thursday that being blacklisted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations is a “badge of honor.” CAIR, which blamed Israel for being attacked shortly after Oct. 7 and which the Biden administration initially listed as part of its national strategy on fighting Jew-hatred but later evicted it, designated the coalition and Jewish American Summit as “anti-Muslim extremist organizations.” The antisemitic group announced the designations on Thursday, accusing both Jewish groups of platforming speakers who...

In the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 jihad attacks, and on the day itself, the establishment media is going to inundate us with feature stories about “Islamophobia.” Here’s one: NPR on Tuesday ran an interview with Rozina Ali, who writes for the New York Times and has just published a new book of victimhood propaganda, Seasons of Fury: Four Families and the Rise of Islamophobia in America. Hawking the book and Ali’s appearance, NPR tells us: After the Sept. 11 attacks, assaults against Muslims in the U.S. surged. At the same time the U.S. government launched a...

Amajor Tehran theater production has dropped a prominent actor after his support for Palestine triggered fierce backlash, exposing a rare reversal where a stance strongly backed by the Islamic Republic appears to have become a liability with the public. Navid Mohammadzadeh, one of Iran’s most prominent film and theater actors, was removed Monday from the cast of the theater-orchestral production “Arash,” according to a statement from the production team. The producers cited “multiple controversies,” unspecified personal problems and, unusually, “the lack of audience interest in him” as reasons for the decision, saying a replacement would be announced soon. The wording...

SNIPPET Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation and internationally recognized expert on famine, has remained largely silent as his repeated declarations of mass hunger and death in Gaza have failed to materialize and have been undermined by newly released UNICEF data. In 2024, de Waal became one of the most prominent voices warning that Gaza was heading toward an unprecedented mass-starvation catastrophe. Yet the catastrophic mortality scenario suggested by these warnings did not materialize on the scale implied. In a series of interviews, de Waal asserted that approximately 10,000 people per day would die in Gaza...

Three former UNRWA teachers accused of links to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, including alleged involvement in the 7 October attacks and the holding of hostages, are facing sanctions by the United States. The US Agency for International Development’s Office of Inspector General (USAID OIG) said it had provided evidence to the State Department recommending that three former employees be debarred from US government contracts and grants.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz on Wednesday accused the international community of promoting a “blood libel” against Israel over claims of famine in Gaza. Waltz cited a report in Free Press about a July 2026 survey that found acute child malnutrition, or wasting, at 0.5%, and said there was no widespread acute malnutrition at the population level. “Recent data debunks that false narrative,” Waltz said. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, the U.N.-backed body that assesses famine risk, subsequently said famine conditions had been offset while severe food insecurity persisted. The newer findings do not by themselves...

Six months of war between the US and Iran has decimated Qatar's natural gas economy. The Gulf state saw its liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports crash by 96%. Shipping interruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and the destruction of gas facilities have severely restricted its primary export income. Qatar shed nearly $24bn in gas revenues, Reuters data reported. This severe revenue shortfall equals roughly five months of national income. Qatar suffered the most severe impact, even though energy supply issues also paralysed neighbouring markets including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq and Kuwait. The shipping data highlights a massive disruption. Doha...

Rudy Giuliani announced he’s suing Tucker Carlson over comments made during his interview with Hunter Biden regarding the origins of the now-infamous “laptop from hell.” The former mayor charged that, during the interview, Carlson claimed he and President Trump were agents for Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. “He can go to hell!,” Giuliani told Newsmax in an interview. “I wasn’t an agent for anybody but myself and the United States of America and the man I was representing. That’s been proven 40 times over. I’m gonna sue him! I don’t know what has happened to Tucker Carlson, but if he’s...
