Far-Reaching Implications: With The Ultimate Results Of Israel’s Election Still Up In The Air, The Jewish State Needs Our Prayer

Partnership with anti-Zionist arab parties to gain a majority government should be out of the question—why would an Israeli government lock arms with individuals bent on the eradication of the Jewish State? That’s a question for the anti-Netanyahu bloc, which did just that in 2021 to gain power under Naftali Bennet and Yair Lapid. Much like the radical left in the United States, the anti-Netanyahu bloc—through compromise, biased media backing, and concessions on the global stage—has proven willing to endanger their own nation to achieve their objectives.

The Final Showdown?: Netanyahu And Trump Hint Decisive Action Against Iran Could Be Soon

The final showdown with Iran's regime may be imminent. The United States and Israel are reportedly considering new strikes against Iran's regime after the U.S. midterm elections, which will be held on November 3rd. Both nations have ramped up military drills in recent days, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was in Israel last week meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Both Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump have hinted in recent days that something decisive could be coming.

Dept. Of Education Board Calls For The APA To Be Stripped Of Its Authority, Highlighting ‘Pervasive Culture Of Antisemitism’

While antisemitism was the focus of much of the testimony at the NACIQI meeting, Wright and Hartz said that “the rot goes far deeper” than this bias: "A substantial part of organized psychology has ceased behaving like scientific and professional bodies and has become a vehicle for left-wing political activism... By our count, about 70 of the conference’s 90 panels had a clear ideological agenda, and every overtly political speaker came from the left."

Canada’s New Partnership With Turkey Is A Brazen Slap In The Face To The Jewish State

On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stood alongside Turkish President Recep Erdogan to announce an economic and defense partnership between the two nations, calling the agreement “a new era for Turkey and Canada.” After the nation of Iran, Turkey is the most prominent enemy of Israel on the planet. Yet as many insist that Turkey’s terror funding, expansionist goals, and violent anti-Israel rhetoric should disqualify it from NATO membership, Canada is embracing the beast with open arms, offering a defense and economic partnership.

One Cannot Properly Understand The Middle East Mess Apart From The Insight Of Scripture

The book of Esther, is not that the book contains prophecy; it does not. It does, however, highlight Satan’s ongoing efforts to thwart God’s redemptive plans, which continue today. There’s no sane reason for the attacks against Israel to continue in the light of repeated failures, but they do. All the ceasefires and peace initiatives eventually fail because they ignore the demonic element that drives the hatred of Israel and the Jewish people.

Desite The Claims Of Radical Candidates, There Is No Moral Equivalence Between Hamas And The IDF

If you see a moral equivalence between the IDF and Hamas, there is a verse in Isaiah 5:20 that should be brought to your attention: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” That verse describes precisely what we are seeing today—and it is accompanied by a warning. The bottom line is this: El-Sayed's positions on Israel raise serious concerns—and that is an understatement. I would implore you to examine his statements, consider what they mean, and make an informed choice in these upcoming midterms.

Powerful Leftist Forces Are Desperate To Bring Netanyahu Down—Wanting An Israel That Will Give In To Dangerous Capitulation

On Tuesday, Israel will hold what might be our most important election of the twenty-first century. Based on the country’s vote, my nation will either move on to victory against Iran and its terrorist militias or to a dangerous capitulation to leftist pressure, which will bring with it grave danger and long-term consequences. Powerful forces are aligned against him, desperate to bring him down. Part of their reasoning is they don’t like his stand against Iran, part is their desire to be welcomed into the European club, and part is Netanyahu’s strong stand against the Leftist judicial reform that would essentially make the Supreme Court the autocratic leaders of the nation.

The Palestinian Flag: An International Symbol Of Anarchy, Islamo-Communism, And The Destruction Of The Judeo-Christian Civilization

While I call it a “mind virus,” it's really much deeper than that. What we are seeing is an all-out spiritual battle for the very soul of Western civilization. Wherever there is chaos in the West, the Palestinian flag is always there. We see it flying everywhere among the rioters in France and Italy. We have seen it during violent outbursts here in America and elsewhere over the past three years. It's become the international symbol of anarchy and Islamo-communism—that unholy red-green alliance that wants to destroy Judeo-Christian Western civilization. We are living in a revolutionary moment. Western civilization hangs in the balance.

Network Behind U.S. Anti-Israel Protests Linked to France’s Violent Unrest

A network of far-left organizations and activist media outlets previously involved in promoting anti-Israel demonstrations across the United States has emerged as a prominent force amplifying France’s escalating unrest, as violent riots, arson, and attacks on police shake the country ahead of its presidential election.

The Complete Downfall Of Iran’s ‘Death Cult’ Is The Only Way For Trump To Eradicate Tehran’s Existential Threat

“[W]e’ve gotten used to this regime that for so many years now has called ‘[D]eath to America,’ ‘Death to Israel’ — 49 years of obsession, quite frankly,” Jonathan Hessen, a senior fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, observed during “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” Tuesday. “… [Iran’s leaders] don’t really know what they can do at a time when their economy is crippled. The United States has, through U.S. Central Command, brought about a hermetic blockade that has put the Iranian regime [in] the process of choking into submission. They don’t like the position they’re in, and they’re trying to find a way out of it.”

High Time For A History Lesson: Who Is The Greatest Obstacle To Peace Between Israelis And Arabs?

On Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back against former President Barack Obama, who accused Israel of taking Palestinian land during a visit to Northern Ireland. The Israeli PM declared that “the Jewish people are not foreign occupiers,” but have ancestral connections to this Biblical land stretching back “thousands of years.” The greatest obstacle to peace, Netanyahu said, is not Israel, but the refusal of its enemies to recognize the Jewish people's right to a sovereign state. Last time I checked, Israel not only agreed to and crafted agreements to develop Palestinian self-determination, but it has shown up to every negotiation.

A ‘Sunni NATO’ Aimed At Countering American And Israeli Power In The Middle East?: Making Sense Of The ‘Mecca Agreement’

Some worry the Mecca Agreement is aimed at countering Israel. Just a day after the pact was signed, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said the Islamic world “must unite to confront the common threat posed by Israel.” He added, “Israel poses a threat to all of us. Islamic countries must adopt a coordinated approach to address this threat.” Turkish leaders have also intensified verbal attacks against Israel and vowed to reconquer Jerusalem for Islam. A senior Israeli official said the alliance “is directed against Israel.”

There Is No Practical Difference Between Hatred Of The Jewish State And Hatred Of The Jewish People

Hatred of Israel saturated Ghazali’s social media content. Just hours before attacking Temple Israel, he took to social media and posted several comments across various profiles, including “Israel is a cancerous/malignant growth,” “Israel is pure evil,” and “The oppressors will soon know what kind of end they will meet.” By the grace of God, only the terrorist met his end. But his demise is no solid comfort to the Jewish community because it has violently experienced the truth that there is no practical difference between hatred of the Jewish state and hatred of the Jewish people.

Trump: Israel Helping Saudi Arabia Fight Houthis as Historic Peace Agreement Draws Closer

President Donald Trump revealed Friday that Israel has been assisting Saudi Arabia in its confrontation with Iran-backed Houthi rebels, signaling growing security cooperation between the two regional powers and suggesting that a historic normalization agreement could be closer than ever.

IDF Chief Warns Of Potential War On Multiple Fronts As Israel Approaches Elections

Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned Wednesday that the risk of military escalation has increased across multiple fronts, as Israel prepares for national elections on October 27 amid growing tensions with Iran and its regional terrorist proxies.

Spiritual Delusion: The Undercurrent Of Australia’s Antisemitism Problem

Those familiar with Australia will know that it is often affectionately called “Down Under.” The origins of the name are obvious. Being located deep in the southern hemisphere, Australia is “down” and “under” almost all other land masses. Yet, there is also a spiritual parallel to this geographic description. Australia is going down spiritually and is suffering under deception, particularly that deception which manifests in Jew-hatred.

Weaponized Against Israel: Is Antisemitism The New Requirement To Win The Nobel Peace Prize?

Antisemitism continues to become normalized on so many levels, and it is also gaining momentum to soon become state-sponsored. The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize decision will help that transition further. In a world where good becomes evil and evil is praised, it is hard to be a person of good will, let alone a Christian. The Norwegian Nobel Committee is confident in the integrity of Ms. Pillay, so she is the recipient of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Once again, the narrative wins over facts. The United Nations is worthless and obsolete, and the Nobel Prize Committee might have joined that woke social club. Next year, maybe all one will have to do is be the holder of the world record for the most time they uttered "Free Palestine" in a year, and they will win.

All Nations Have Not Just The Right, But The Obligation To Defend Their People

Hamas brutally attacked Israel. Its leaders publicly said that they would continue such attacks. Their goal, stated repeatedly, is not a "two-state solution," but Israel’s complete destruction. To this day, they and their allies repeat their genocidal goal every time they chant, “From the river to the sea,” or “Death to Israel,” or “Gas the Jews.” Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said, “Israel has an inherent and inalienable right to defend itself.” To me, it seems self-evident that all nations have, not just the right, but the obligation to defend their people. For years, Hamas has been firing rockets into Israel. After October 7, they fired thousands of such rockets from residential buildings, mosques, schools, and even hospitals. Their actions made those areas legitimate military targets. They do this knowing that civilian deaths in high numbers help their cause.

Politicians Have Amplified And Encouraged Mass Displays Of Antisemitism—And It’s Time For The West To Wake Up

It was a solemn day of remembrance – yet astoundingly, vigils for the victims were met with flagrantly antisemitic protests around the world, including in New York City. The mayor of New York and his counterpart in London both marked the anniversary with statements that, after a throat-clearing mention of the October 7 attacks themselves, were devoted to defaming the Israeli government rather than honoring the victims of the pogrom. It’s just too much to ask for the people of Israel and the global Jewish diaspora to be granted even a day to mourn their dead; instead, their pain is weaponized to punish the Jewish people for daring to defend themselves.

Formally Adopting An Anti-Zionist Platform, The UK Green Party Sets Itself At Odds With God

The UK Green Party has no understanding of the geopolitical reality surrounding Israel, its history, or most importantly, what God's Word says about Israel. The Bible makes it clear that God has an enduring purpose and plan for the Jewish people on the land of Israel. To stand against what God has declared concerning Israel is ultimately to stand against the God of the universe. That's a scary place to be. God is a Zionist. He founded Zion. He chose Zion. He loves Zion. He is zealous for Zion. If you believe your political party can ultimately prosper in its endeavors while openly defying what God has declared concerning Zion and the Jewish people… think again!

Mourning And Miracles: God’s Hand On Israel In Difficult Times And Amazing Times

There is one other ray of light that breaks through on an otherwise very dark day. It is the change in the mindset of many Israelis. Our people have moved to the right politically, and many have moved toward faith in God. An amazing spiritual awakening is taking place. Though it may not last, seeing people turn toward God fills me with far greater hope than what I’ve been watching in the past as they drift toward hedonism, liberalism, and globalism. We have also seen the hand of God on many occasions these past three years. Most recently, the reported attempt to hijack a commercial aircraft carrying 174 Israelis and crash it in a 9/11-style attack ended with all lives spared.

Israeli Ambassador To The United States Condemns Mamdani As A ‘Defender Of Palestinian Terrorism’ And A ‘Promoter Of Antisemitism’

With his son still fighting for his life, the ambassador stepped away from his bedside to issue a powerful response to New York City Mayor Zorhan Mamdani, rebuking his “dangerous lies” on the anniversary of October 7th. “It’s actually hard to find a sentence in Mamdani’s post that isn’t a lie,” the ambassador began. “Paying lip service to the victims of October 7 just to spread blood libels about Israel might play nicely to the red-green/communist-Islamist alliance that he promotes in the U.S, but those of us who know better see his perverted language for what it is.”

Huckabee Remembers The Deadliest Attack On The Jewish State In Modern History… And The World’s Distorted Double Standard

On the three-year anniversary of the deadliest attack on Israel in modern history, the Jewish nation continues to be misjudged by global leaders—who accuse America’s ally of war crimes following its response to Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7, 2023—says U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. “Israel is held to a standard that no one else has ever been held to. What would America do to get 250 Americans out of captivity who were being beaten, raped and starved? If that’s our sons and daughters, what do we do?”

On The October 7 Anniversary, The United Kingdom Advocates For Israel’s Eradication ‘From The River To The Sea’

On the third anniversary of October 7th, student organizers in London, England, are determined to hold a pro-Palestinian march through the city. The London Metropolitan Police urged them to choose another date, noting that the demonstration was deliberately planned for the anniversary of Hamas's attack on Israel, warning about the impact it could have on Jewish students and staff. This was also the timing around which the United Kingdom's Green Party voted to adopt a “Zionism is racism” motion, in what the Jerusalem Post describes as “Europe's first mainstream political party to formally embrace an anti-Zionist position.”

War In The Headlines: Is The Israel-Iran Conflict Connected To Bible Prophecy?

For students of Bible prophecy, the question is unavoidable: is the Israel-Iran conflict connected to Bible prophecy? The answer requires both conviction and caution. We should not make the mistake of turning every missile launch into a fulfillment of prophecy. Yet neither should we ignore the extraordinary fact that approximately 2,500 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel specifically identified Persia as part of a future military coalition that would come against Israel. Persia is modern-day Iran. That alone should cause every serious student of prophecy to pay attention.

The New Antisemitism: October 7 Was A Symptom As Well As A Tragedy

So, it is appropriate to remember the tragedy of October 7. In a gruesome Holocaust fashion, many lost their lives after psychological torture, violence, rape, and fire. Many more were taken hostage by Hamas and a plethora of willing Palestinian co-perpetrators (70%-75%). Even during Nazi Germany, some Germans rescued and sheltered Jews. Not one Palestinian did such a thing in Gaza. The families of all these innocent victims are remembered on this sober third anniversary. Will the wounds of October 7, 2023 ever heal? They might, to a point, but not without a scar.

UK Green Party Declares Zionism To Be ‘Racist,’ Backs Eliminating Israel For A Single Palestinian State

Israel’s Foreign Ministry accused the Greens of adopting an ideology aimed at Israel’s destruction and said the resolution went far beyond legitimate criticism of Israeli government policy. The ministry said the motion “labels as ‘racist’ the aspiration of the Jewish people for self-determination” while advocating a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea.” Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar subsequently barred Green Party leader Zack Polanski from entering Israel, saying the resolution constituted antisemitism under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition because it denied Jews the right to self-determination.

Poll: Nearly 1 In 5 U.S. Voters Would Accept End Of Israel To Stop Iran War

Nearly one in five likely American voters say they would accept a peace agreement ending the Iran war that would dissolve the State of Israel and replace it with a Palestinian state if the deal also brought lower oil and gasoline prices, according to a new poll.

Anti-Zionism: How Antisemites, Like Mamdani, Cloak Their Jew Hatred

It seems that each day brings a new attack on the Jewish people – whether on the streets of New York or aboard the FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv that nearly ended in catastrophe just a few days ago. The tide of antisemitism unleashed around the globe following the October 7 massacre wasn’t just confined to Hamas sympathizers in the region – it galvanized antisemites around the world to express their hatred for Jews under the flimsy guise of “anti-Zionism.”

‘Voice Of Truth’: Iranian Christian Supported By Huckabee Given Israeli Residency, Vows To Continue Advocating for Israel

An Iranian Christian and former pastor has been granted a one-year residency permit in Israel following an appeal from U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee. N12 News reported that in a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Huckabee, who personally knows Iranian-American pastor Ramin Parsa and his wife, Yasmin, highlighted his “steadfast advocacy on behalf of Israel, the importance of his voice in confronting the Iranian threat, and the humanitarian considerations concerning his family.”

IDF: 170 Gazans Listed As Journalists Were Members Of Terror Groups

The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday that 170 Palestinians killed during the Gaza war and publicly identified as journalists or media workers were actually members of terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Tragedy Turned Into Triumph: The Narrowly Hijacked Flight Of Israelis Showcases The Miraculous Control Of God

On Wednesday, we saw a miracle in the skies. All of Israel is rejoicing, and we should be rejoicing with them. A major catastrophe was averted that would have sent shock waves around the world. A flight traveling from Dubai (United Arab Emirates) to Tel Aviv, carrying 174 passengers, including more than 100 Israelis, narrowly escaped being hijacked by the co-pilot, a citizen of the Arab Gulf nation of Oman. God is a God of miracles. Tragedy was turned into triumph.

An In-depth Look At ‘NAZA’: Hollywood’s New Favorite Documentary Propels Misleading And Manipulative Anti-Israel Propaganda

If you are newly tuning into Israel’s challenges on the world stage, it is important to know that the media’s campaign against Israel is not new. When it comes to Gaza’s partnership with the media, the same tactics persist: reinterpreting Israel's agenda, selective casualty reporting, omitting the element of terrorism, glossing the terrorists, failing to clarify combatant status, attaching misleading photos to articles, or including pictures in articles without context. We are in an age of deception.
