“The coin that was found...truly expresses the longing throughout the generations for redemption, for revival, for a free Jerusalem. Two thousand years later, we are privileged to discover this evidence in excavations in Jerusalem; another moving testimony that our roots here run so deep, they cannot be uprooted."

The U.S. sharply condemned the announcement by France’s President Emmanuel Macron that he wants to recognize a Palestinian state in September, while several other countries, as well as Hamas, signaled their support.

With reports that the hostage-ceasefire talks are in danger of completely collapsing, IDF soldiers and military experts warn that Hamas is adapting its strategies to decrease the pace of the war, and is trying to strengthen its hand in negotiations by attempting to capture Israeli troops. 

“We know this. Israel is forced to deal with UN institutions, and the UN is the offender – we will do everything to back Israel against the UN to stop this aid transfer... Last month Donald Trump told us to get food to civilians in Gaza but DON'T let Hamas steal it. GHF delivers 50 MILLIONTH meal tomorrow.

“The chants of the terrorists who pillaged Israel on October 7th are almost indistinguishable from those of Hamas sympathizers here on our own shores,” Johnson continued. “They proclaim that violence is righteous, that rape is justice, and that murder is liberation. They have created a culture of lies that puts a bounty on the heads of peace loving Jewish Americans.” 

“This is just the latest instance in Ms. Albanese’s long history of antisemitism – she has regularly used antisemitic terms like the ‘Jewish lobby’ and claims that Israel doesn’t have the right to defend itself or even to exist... There’s a substantial amount of blood on her hands, but her victims live in countries that she doesn’t care about."

“After October 7, we witnessed a shocking rise in hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people – even here in Korea. It was a wake-up call for us: we must educate the public about the Jewish people, about the Holocaust, and about the real meaning of genocide. At the same time, we wanted to send a clear message of solidarity and support to the Jewish people.”

Twenty years passed, since Hamas took over the leadership of Gaza, and that was enough time for the population to wonder why so many tunnels were being built, why so many weapons were being placed in their homes, why kindergartens and hospitals were being outfitted with rocket launchers and why their children were preparing for battle. None of this came as a surprise to them. Each one willingly participated in the preparation of the greatest act of evil which had been committed since the Holocaust, and that is on them.

Xiao Liang, a researcher with the SIPRI Military Expenditure and Arms Production Programme, stated, “Over 100 countries around the world raised their military spending in 2024. As governments increasingly prioritize military security, often at the expense of other budget areas, the economic and social trade-offs could have significant effects on societies for years to come.”
