Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib: REVEALED: The scandal surrounding Gaza's failed winterization efforts lays bare a grim reality: Hamas obstructed attempts to protect Palestinian civilians before the devastating winter storms that flooded tens of thousands of tents. Palestinian Authority employees inside Gaza have reported that professionals from the Ministries of Public Works and Relief Affairs were intimidated, summoned, and coerced by Hamas into signing pledges not to undertake humanitarian projects without the group's approval. According to their accounts, those who defied Hamas risked so-called "field justice," including beatings and worse. Several officials, including Najla Hammad, Ihab Al-Bahtiti, Khaled Abu Safiya, Wiam...

Chilling photos reveal disturbing tattoos on the psycho ex-cop charged with fatally stabbing a Brooklyn jogger — but when colleagues at the school where he worked complained to higher-ups, they were told they were being “racist’’ and to simply stop looking at social media. At least 10 people filed complaints with officials at PS 200 in Brooklyn about suspected killer paraprofessional Sayed Mohassib just since September, including over his online tattoo snaps, troubling “blank stare’’ demeanor and him displaying his gun necklace to young students, sources told The Post.

Rioters attempt to smash the windows of a Snipes store near Châtelet–Les Halles in central Paris, France, on 18 October 2026. Matthieu Rondel/AFP. Three-quarters of a sample of suspects brought before French courts following last month’s mass riots bore Arabic–Muslim or African-origin first names, according to an analysis by leading pollster Jérôme Fourquet. The finding points to mounting indications of significant immigrant-background involvement in the looting and violence that, with the help of the far left, turned France’s protests over education and living costs into weeks of urban chaos. Fourquet, director of the opinion department at polling institute Ifop, examined...

JERUSALEM, Israel – Today, we get a rare inside look at what Christians have faced under Hamas rule in Gaza. One Christian who escaped the region tells CBN News that intimidation and religious pressure have reduced Gaza’s Christian community to just a few hundred people. Naji grew up as a Christian in Gaza. He says Hamas changed life dramatically after seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007. He told us, “They completely restructured how everyday Gazans thought. They pushed a whole new set of ideas through mosques, teachings, periodic sermons, and structured religious circles.” This system also affected the...

One thing I understand about Tucker, Tucker runs around claiming he's America first. So I asked the company, they look at social media and they can tell you where the amplification is coming from on social media. So you know the number one amplification point for Tucker Carlson, you know where it is? Want to guess? Pakistan. That's number one. Number two is Qatar. So Tucker Carlson, he's not America first. He's Pakistan first. He's Qatar first. And the sad thing about it is the people who follow him don't even know that. He is selling this kind of stuff...

there was a story sometime back that before trump bombed Iran, he consulted with Tucker Carlson as to the wisdom of the decision. Tucker said it was a terrible mistake to do so. Trump ignored him so Tucker turned on Trump. Is this story true? Thought for 22s Yes, the core of the story is true for the 2026 U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran (which began with strikes around February 28), though some details rest on Tucker Carlson’s accounts and journalistic reporting.⁠Aol Carlson (a longtime informal adviser and 2024 convention speaker for Trump) met with Trump multiple times in the...

Aber Kawas (D) won election to the New York State Senate on Tuesday, becoming the first Palestinian-American to serve in the state legislature after defeating Republican Han-Khon To in the heavily Democratic 12th District. Her victory celebration is an example of why residents of the Empire State are terrified of how quickly the pro-Hamas, pro-terror arm of the Left is infiltrating government. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member, who received the endorsement of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (straight-up Communist), marked the result by posting a campaign graphic declaring her the first Palestinian elected in New York State....

At first glance, the 2026 election looks like any other midterm. The incumbent party is exhausted. The opposition is eager to rebuke an unpopular president. Economic concerns predominate. An electoral thumping seems inevitable. Check results from 2022, 2018, 2014, 2010 and 2006 for reference. Under the surface, however, an ugly force is stirring in U.S. politics that makes this midterm campaign different. For the first time in generations, antisemitism has emerged from the shadows to influence American public life. From Graham Platner to Abdul El-Sayed, from Hasan Piker to Tucker Carlson, antagonism toward Israel, “Zionists” and foreign intervention has morphed...

In yet another example of Iran’s human rights abuses, the regime is weaponizing human trafficking to fund its regional proxy wars, profiting from the abuse of women, children, and at-risk migrants while forcing marginalized populations into combat to help finance and sustain its network of terrorist groups, a new report has found. The Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA), an Israeli research institute focused on security and foreign policy, released a new analysis last week detailing how Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) exploits women, children, undocumented migrants, and refugees to bankroll its regional ambitions and sustain its...

IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohabbi issued the threat in a post on X, which was subsequently removed for violating the platform's rules. “Any attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure, although it will immediately be repaired by our young scientists, will turn the occupied territories into scorched earth forever and drive its usurpers into the Sinai Desert," Mohabbi wrote. “The world will see what happens," he added. .....
