‘No Israel’ Without Trump?: Mr. President, God Isn’t Looking For A Partner To Share His Glory

“Tell you what, if there wasn't me, there would be no Israel right now”… Those were the words of President Trump in an interview on Wednesday. Very respectfully, I want to say to the President of the United States: Mr. Trump, you're wrong. Trump has been the best friend that Israel has ever had in the White House—and I say that with no asterisk. But Israel doesn't exist because of any man.

Western Civilization Depends On Ensuring That The Monsters Who Seek Our Destruction Never Prevail

As a practitioner, I can say confidently: America does not go looking for or create monsters to destroy, nor should it. During my time as Secretary of State, we didn’t start a single war and instead deterred many through American strength. Sometimes when we fight monsters, we do so ineffectively, or half-heartedly, or do not use the correct strategy or tools necessary to defeat them. But the nature of the world and our place in it has made our willingness to fight monsters when they rear their ugly heads an essential guarantor of our security and freedom.

Anti-Jewish Hate Crimes Make Up More Than 60% Of NYC Hate Crimes In May

New NYPD data shows that hate crimes jumped 74.4% year over year in May, rising to 68 confirmed incidents compared with 39 in May 2025. Of those, 41 targeted Jewish New Yorkers — representing 60.3% of all confirmed hate crimes in the city and a 71% increase over the 24 anti-Jewish incidents recorded in the same month last year.

Netanyahu Orders IDF To Expand Control Over Gaza To 70% As Israel Targets Hamas Commanders

The remarks underscore Israel’s growing frustration with the stalled ceasefire framework, which secured the release of hostages held by Hamas and other terror groups but left Hamas in de facto control of parts of the enclave. The agreement was intended to move toward the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of Gaza, but that process has remained frozen as the terror group has refused to lay down its weapons.

Counting The Cost Of War: The Challenge Is Not Securing Peace, But Permanently Removing Iran’s Nuclear Pathway

President Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. Yet the ongoing negotiations have produced no indication that Tehran is willing to abandon its nuclear ambitions. In fact, Iranian officials have repeatedly declared that retaining the ability to enrich uranium — and to possess enriched uranium — remains a non-negotiable red line. The opposite side of Iran’s red line must remain a red line for the United States, as history suggests that when red lines become negotiable, they become greenlights for aggression by adversaries.

Jewish Man Appeals To US Supreme Court After City Requires Him To Obtain A Permit To Pray In His Home

“Every American has the right to host a prayer gathering in his home, and he certainly doesn’t need a city permit to do so. When government officials forbid that, courts must hold those individuals accountable,” said ADF Senior Counsel and Vice President of Appellate Advocacy John Bursch. “The city’s actions underscore a troubling trend of weaponizing zoning laws against people of faith while allowing other gatherings of the same size, like book clubs or poker nights, to meet without issue. This is religious discrimination that the First Amendment prohibits.”

Somaliland’s Rise as US-Israel Partner Marks Strategic Shift in Red Sea

Somaliland’s emergence as a potential U.S. and Israeli partner marks a major strategic shift in the Red Sea region, offering Washington and Jerusalem a new foothold near the vital Bab el-Mandeb Strait as Iran-backed Houthi threats continue to menace global shipping.

As History Repeats Itself, Have The Tireless Education Efforts From Holocaust Survivors Been In Vain?

The antisemitic rise in Canada and around the world has been horrific and alarming. For Holocaust survivor Marie Doduck, it is almost like reliving her childhood all over again, as Jew-hatred and false characterizations about the Jewish people continue to flood our society with little to nothing being done about it. Around the world, the Palestinians and their supporters make their allegiance clear, regularly brandishing the Nazi salute, praising their “final solution to the Jewish question,” and voicing their disappointment that Hitler did not succeed in eradicating all Jews—men, women, and children. This is far from an isolated incident; this vocal Nazi-aligned rhetoric has become disturbingly widespread. History seems to be repeating itself.

I Believe The President Has Earned The Benefit Of The Doubt When It Comes To Iran

For all the commentary and hot takes over the long holiday weekend about a potential Iran deal, here's the bottom line: We still don't know what exactly an agreement will contain. But here's what we do know up front. During his first term, President Trump pulled out of the disastrous Iran nuclear deal that was negotiated by former President Barack Obama. It seems very unlikely that he would sign on to a new agreement that repeats Obama's mistakes. I believe the President has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Iran. Over his two terms in office, he's made all the right moves against the regime.

The Father Of Lies: If We Want To Expose And Oppose Antisemitism, We Must First Understand Its Source

There seems to be absolutely no limits to the creativity used to demonize Israel and the Jewish people. What is even more concerning is the number of people who actually buy those lies as truth. It is helpful to understand the real source of all this toxic rhetoric if we want to expose and oppose antisemitism.

Denying The Jewish People’s Connection To Jerusalem Would Be Laughable… If So Many Nations Didn’t Believe It

In December 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump decided to implement the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995. He recognized Jerusalem as the official capital of the State of Israel, which calls for Jerusalem to remain an undivided city, and ordered the federal government to relocate the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem—a move timed to help celebrate Israel’s 70th birthday. The UN General Assembly then countered with the “Status of Jerusalem” resolution—which passed 128 to 9, with 35 abstentions—denying the Jewish people’s connection to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

A Significant Blow: Top Hamas Military Commander In Gaza Killed In Israeli Airstrike

Hamas top military commander, Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, was killed in an aerial strike in Gaza City on Friday, the IDF confirmed in a statement on Saturday.

In Mind-Boggling Move, Pope Leo Awards Top Iranian Regime Official With The Vatican’s Highest Diplomatic Honor

When I read it, I thought there was no way that such a lack of moral clarity—outright insanity—could be possible. Then I did some research, digging into multiple sources confirming that this top official from one of the world's most bloodthirsty regimes, that's fresh off slaughtering 43,000 of its own people in January alone (according to President Trump’s latest figures) is getting top honors at the Vatican.

Despite Relentless Threats Of Annihilation, Israel Not Only Survives, She Thrives

In 2001, a British newspaper reported that French Ambassador Daniel Bernard at a private dinner party blamed all the world’s troubles on “that [expletive] little country Israel.” He then asked, “Why should the world be in danger of World War III because of those people?” Bernard never apologized for the remark and insisted it had been distorted. Still, his comments encapsulate an attitude that many countries increasingly hold today.

NYT Columnist Rides To The Rescue Of Terrorists’ Reputations

The New York Times rode to the rescue of the terrorists’ reputations by releasing a long Nicholas Kristof piece alleging systematic sexual assault on Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The sources are extremely dubious (like Hamas propagandists) and some of the allegations are absurd and lacking in any evidence, like a claim that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. That’s offensively stupid, but for the 20 seconds it took to read it, you weren’t thinking of what Hamas actually did.

Biblical Insight: No Matter The Iran War’s Outcome, It Will Not Result In A Lasting Peace

As Christians who believe in God’s prophetic Word in Scripture, we have a key piece of insight. Even if a deal of some fashion is reached, or better yet, regime change that embraces Israel and the West, lasting peace will not be the outcome. Ezekiel 38 and 39 tell us that Persia—modern-day Iran—will once again come against Israel in a future war, in another attempt to destroy Israel.

After 47 Years Of Iranian Games, Trump Makes Clear: The US Will Not Blink In The Face Of The Mullahs’ Antics

The Iran ceasefire is on “life support.” Those are President Trump's words after Iran's regime sent back a response to his proposed deal to end the war. Trump called the response “totally unacceptable” and made clear that he is not going to blink in the face of the mullahs' antics. This regime has been playing games for 47 years and has strung along seven U.S. presidents before Trump. But the time of reckoning is now at hand. The U.S. and Israeli militaries are on high alert to resume striking Iran.

The Left Is On A Path Of Embracing Institutional Hostility To Israel And The Jewish People

These are not isolated incidents, but indicative of a trend that has spiked across the West in the years since the atrocities of October 7th. And disturbingly, this is taking place against a backdrop of rising antisemitic violence, with assaults against American Jews reportedly reaching a 46-year high.

Claiming That Israel Is Not An Ally Overlooks Both Practical Realities And Deeper Convictions

Claiming that Israel is not an ally overlooks both practical realities and deeper convictions. From a biblical perspective, Israel is not just another nation. It is part of a larger story, one that continues to shape how many people understand faith, history, and the world today.

Opposition To Israel vs Biblical Zionism: Are We On God’s Side?

Being on God's side is reassuring. It is based on our obedience, service, and humility. We know our place in God's family, and we would never pretend to have God on our side in a subservient position. There really is a difference between the two approaches. Being on God's side is the same as being in God's will, and there is no better place to be to understand His Word and His specific plan for the believers, for Israel, and for the Jewish people.

Netanyahu Says Israel, U.S. In ‘Full Coordination’ As Iran Nuclear Talks Intensify

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel remains in constant coordination with the United States regarding Iran, emphasizing that there are “no surprises” between Jerusalem and Washington as reports swirl about a possible U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at ending the war before fully dismantling Tehran’s nuclear program.

The Existence Of Israel As A Nation Alone Signifies That Today Is A Time Like No Other

Most Christians believe that today is no different than any other previous period in human history. They remind us that there have been earthquakes, wars, severe famines, and pestilences throughout history. “So, what makes today unique?” they ask. Israel. The existence of Israel as a nation alone signifies that today is a time like no other.

IDF Destroys Hamas Tunnel Network as Tensions Persist Along Gaza Ceasefire Line

Israeli forces have dismantled eight Hamas tunnel routes and killed dozens of terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The operation concluded a two-month deployment by reservists from the 205th Brigade in northern Gaza.

Ideology And Miscalculation: What Trump Doesn’t Understand About Iran And Bible Prophecy

This is not just another war in the Middle East. What we are watching right now is not simply a military campaign but something much larger unfolding, something that at the very least raises the question of the Lord’s providence moving in real time. How this moment ends will determine what comes next, not just regionally but globally. Right now, Israel and the United States, under Donald Trump, have inflicted serious damage on Iran’s military capabilities and its proxy network.

Unexpected Opening For Gospel Outreach: Underground Church Thrives In Iran Amid War

Despite the devastation and uncertainty brought by the ongoing conflict in Iran, a remarkable spiritual movement is quietly accelerating beneath the surface. Christian leaders report that the nation’s underground Church is not only enduring—but growing stronger—amid the chaos.

The Metamorphosis Of Antisemitism: Why Attempts To Address The Stain Of Jew Hatred Fall Short

While ever we support the need to address the stain of antisemitism in Australia, the Commission’s goal of determining the necessary recommendations to remove the threat of antisemitism will likely fall short for one very good reason—they will likely ignore God’s Word. A central pillar of Nazi ideology was that Jews were unnatural creatures. Unfortunately, this same ideology has not only carried into the modern age, where it concerns individual Jews, but this is also how many choose to view the creation of the modern State of Israel—as an affront to the natural order.

Jordan: A Brighter Spot In Israeli Middle East Relations… But Only God Knows How Long It Will Last

So far, Israeli and Jordanian officials continue to meet secretly to discuss shared security concerns. Only God Himself knows what will happen to Israeli-Jordanian relations after King Abdullah’s reign; but given the Arabs’ intense hatred for Israel, they probably will deteriorate quickly.

Rubio Rejects Iran’s Extortion Scheme Over Strait of Hormuz

Speaking on Fox News, Rubio laid bare the true nature of Iran’s so-called “offer” to reopen the strait: “What they mean by opening the straits is, yes, the straits are open — as long as you coordinate with Iran, get our permission, or we’ll blow you up, and you pay us.”

Iran’s ‘Internet Pro’ Rollout Seen as Tool of Control, Not Freedom

Iran’s evolving internet policy underscores a broader trend among authoritarian regimes: leveraging technology not just to block dissent, but to shape narratives. By selectively amplifying regime-aligned voices while silencing others, Tehran appears to be constructing a digital ecosystem designed to project stability while suppressing unrest.

How Europe Went From Having A Thriving Jewish Community To Being A Hotbed Of Antisemitic Terrorism

It is 1,500 miles from Israel but has been the launching site of more than 220 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones aimed at the Jewish state since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. This ongoing hostility stands in stark contrast to the centuries-old Jewish presence that once flourished in this country.

Teens Detained After Arson Attack On London Synagogue Possibly Linked To Iran

British police on Monday confirmed the detention of two teenagers over an arson attack on a synagogue in London, the latest in a series of incidents targeting the Jewish community, as investigators examine possible links to Iran.

Iran Is Learning The Hard Way… Nothing Can Thwart God’s Promises To The Nation Of Israel

It’s difficult to grasp how dramatically everything has changed since Hamas crossed the border into Israel on October 7, 2023. Hamas still exists and might rise again, but, for now, it is a shell of its former self. Hezbollah keeps finding and firing remnants of its old missile arsenal, but it has nothing like the stockpile it had just 2½ years ago. The new regime in Syria is wicked and dangerous, but it is not linked to Iran as the old Assad regime had been. The Houthis, the Shiite militias in Iraq, and other enemies of Israel still exist. But the Iranian regime that once fed and directed them has been shattered. 

A Biblical Acknowledgment Of Israeli Sovereignty In The Tennessee Legislature

A Tennessee bill that overwhelmingly passed the State House and Senate is sure to draw strong criticism from activists and progressives. An angry Democrat Party is often the result when states pass legislation fortifying their acknowledgment of Biblical truth.
