France Keeps Burning Because of Third-World Muslim Immigration

Most Muslims aren’t rioters. But the riots keep starting where Muslim immigrants live, and France keeps refusing to ask why. by Kaizen Asiedu Oct. 21, 2026 I’ll admit that I hesitated to give this letter the title I did. Talking about ethnic and religious groups is always difficult. As Westerners, we are hypersensitized to racism and prejudice. So much so that we’d rather avoid the conversation about groups altogether. But in multicultural societies, when people act as group

(Marc Rod, JewishInsider.com Oct. 21, 2026) AIPAC leaders said that the United Democracy Project super PAC will continue, as the group urges its members to give directly to pro-Israel candidates.

I Didn't Leave the Left. It Left Me.

by Joshua Hoffman, FutureOfJewish.com, Oct. 17, 2026 People in my family sometimes ask how someone (me) who grew up in a Left-wing household ended up becoming Right-wing. My answer is simple: My views haven’t changed nearly as much as they think. They’ve certainly evolved over the years, but the more fundamental transformation wasn’t mine. It was the Left’s. I didn’t move nearly as far to the Right as the Left moved away from the principles it once stood for. In fact, the Lef

"Israel Is Not Tired of Peace. It Is Tired of Dying for Illusions”

by by Mustapha Ezzarghani , an Arab Muslim, writing for the Facebook page, "Muslims for Israel." There comes a moment in the life of a nation when yesterday’s language can no longer describe today’s wounds. Words once spoken with hope begin to sound hollow, formulas repeated in conference halls lose their power and promises written by diplomats dissolve before the testimony of the dead. For Israel, October 7 was such a moment. It did not merely destroy homes, separate familie

Douglas Murray: The International Criminal Court Is a Sham

by Douglas Murray, TheFreePress.com Oct. 13, 2026 Recent years have seen a flourishing of BS institutions. There is the International Association of Genocide Scholars, an organization that suddenly leaped to prominence last year when it was reactivated in order to accuse Israel of “genocide” in Gaza; there is the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a politicized pseudo-court that seems determined to fast-track that same genocide allegation; there is the United Nations Hum

I Asked AI What It Knows to Be True

by Melissa Brodsky, Sept. 28, 2026 No argument to make. No side to defend. Just one instruction: look at the whole record and don’t erase any of it. I read an article by Eitan Chitayat that gave me an idea. Eitan asked his AI to write a letter to humanity. He asked it to try to get past its usual predictive way of writing and tell him what it would communicate if it could somehow step outside those patterns. So I decided to try something similar.

Jews and Christians need each other now more than ever.

History gave us division, but the future demands unity. Our enemies are united. It’s time we are too. By Joshua Hoffman, FutureOfJewish.com. Nov. 22, 2025 There are moments in history when old boundaries break down, when past divisions lose their meaning, and when survival — and renewal — depend on recognizing who truly shares your fate. Jews and Christians, for much of their history, lived parallel lives separated by theology, geography, and the heavy weight of centuries. F

Tony Blair: "Britain’s Fastest-Growing Party Has an Anti-Jewish Problem."

by Tony Blair, The Free Press, Oct. 6, 2026 If you care about the future of the UK and the future of the Holy Land: Pay attention. This weekend, the Green Party of England and Wales crossed a line. A dangerous line. One that it is unacceptable to cross. It passed a resolution which effectively denounced the State of Israel’s right to exist. By a vote of 1,022 to 813, the party passed a motion entitled “Zionism Is Racism,” which commits the party to a single Palestinian state
