January 2026:Minneapolis is on fire once again. In fact, the whole state of Minnesota is raw, angry, and frustrated; dry tinder just waiting for a spark.

January 2026:The Bill of Rights is one of the most important foundations of our country, defining things that no government at any level can ever do, even in pursuit of its legitimate powers. The most important amendment in the Bill of Rights is the first, which says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

January 2026:In the legend of Camelot, the Holy Grail was not discovered by the greatest knight, nor by the most wise, nor even by the most visibly pious. It was not found by those who spoke most eloquently about virtue, nor by those who cloaked themselves in sanctimony. 

January 2026:For much of the last decade, American political discourse has rested on a comforting illusion: that extremism moves in straight lines. That the far left and the far right occupy opposing moral universes. That anti-Semitism, when it resurfaces, must belong clearly to one camp or the other—identifiable by familiar slogans, aesthetics, or historical references.

January 2026:National defense is one of the primary responsibilities of any federal government, but when our founders wrote the Constitution, they were thinking about invading armies more so than invading narratives. The United States is too powerful militarily for any nation to consider invading, so warfare today is asymmetrical.

December 2025:My name is Hooman Khalili. I was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1974—into a Muslim family, into a nation already trembling on the edge of collapse. By the summer of 1978, the cracks in the Shah’s regime were visible to anyone paying attention. My mother, like so many others, could see the writing on the wall. She knew that if we didn’t leave immediately, we might be trapped in a civil war that would redefine the country—and our lives—forever.

October 2025:One would think that the questions about the Ark had been settled once it was established that the dimensions given in the Torah were sufficient to carry the animals and provisions for them.

October 2025:It didn’t start on the seventh of October and it didn’t end after. Every rocket, every attack, every name on the news tears another piece of normal life away from us.

October 2025:Two documents tell the story of how Israel’s war in Gaza came to an end. They are written in different languages, for different audiences, and they describe two entirely different realities.

October 2025:Courage, however, when fueled by anger, can turn inward, and anger, even when righteous, can cloud judgment.

October 2025:Weapons are to defend life, not to destroy it recklessly. It is not just a code. It is part of our Jewish identity. We are taught to sanctify life even when surrounded by enemies who glorify death.

October 2025:As part of my training, my commanders and the army itself stressed the importance of being a good person: it was a priority.

October 2025:We will never return to the innocence of October 6—but we can still choose to show up for one another. Only we can safeguard our children’s future.

October 2025:Two years since Hamas launched the largest ever terrorist attack against Israel, the war has yet to end.

October 2025:It is impossible to describe the cruelty of an enemy that hides behind the innocent, using women and children as shields. Each time, my heart broke, but my determination grew stronger.

October 2025:On October 7, I was supposed to go to the Nova festival. I had a ticket from a friend who worked there at the bar. I had some friends who went there, but I decided not to go because my father wanted me to stay for Sim’chat Torah in the morning.

October 2025:I have a few unusual marks on myself. These can seem to be from a variety of situations—but their actual history is a short honest-to-God war story about self-sacrifice that gives me the knowledge that there is a God and that He does care about us.

September 2025:An open letter on recognition, justice, and survival: Gaza was the test; the U.N. learned nothing. Gaza in 2005 already tested the two-state promise. The unilateral land-for-peace disengagement produced rockets, tunnels, indoctrination, and, on October 7, the deadliest massacre of civilian Jews—including babies, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and the elderly—since the Holocaust. To officials, editors, […]

July 2025:L. E. Penny reveals how picturesque “Minnesota nice” Minnesota has been systematically conquered by Islamic elements.

July 2025:Jihad, a permanent Islamic institution, is intrinsically linked to enslavement, which explains the extensive and enduring nature of slavery in Muslim societies.

July 2025:How does an indigenous population returning to its ancient homeland become settler colonialism? And how do Jews, persecuted for 3,000 years, become genocidal oppressors?

July 2025:Traditionally progressive causes like environmentalism, feminism, and LGBT rights have now taken a backseat to Islamism, being fully subsumed in the name of “Palestine.”

July 2025:Trump’s decision, taken at the height of Israel’s impressive campaign, literally saved the Ayatollahs’ regime, called by the U.S. State Department the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, 39 years in a row, since 1984.

July 2025:Hamas is made up of the same people, acting on the same colonizing and imperial motivations, who enslaved me and murdered 4 million of my black brothers and sisters.

July 2025:Bangladesh’s slide into becoming an Islamic state was inevitable. Its creation owed to the disgruntlement of undivided Pakistan’s Bengali Muslims against the ruling Pakistani elite, which was—and is—overwhelmingly Punjabi Muslim.

July 2025:Islam may be history’s most prolific vehicle for cognitive disruption, as Muhammad’s followers only ever went forth to nations outside the Arabian Peninsula to plunder their wealth and force them to submit—yet we are obliged to refer to Islam as a “religion of peace.”

May 2025:The division of American politics into two camps of political thought that are opposed to meaningful dialogue is not just unpatriotic, but a precursor to tyranny.

May 2025:Tucker’s shift into woke identity politics is neither a reaction to losing his throne at Fox nor a clever business ploy but an unveiling of sorts—a Kafkaesque metamorphosis into Tucker’s true self.

January 2025:Progressivism, like all totalitarian ideologies, rejects objective truth, goodness, and beauty, as these concepts limit power. True art transcends political agendas, embracing these timeless values.

January 2025:Caleb Gannon's attack on a pro-Israel activist is tied to the ideology of "settler colonialism," which demonizes Western democracies and legitimizes violence. This ideology, fueled by Hamas's October 7th attack, drove Gannon's actions and destabilizes civil society.

January 2025:A poem by Darren Glick

January 2025:With the globalized intifada moving into stage II—destroy the West—the growing cultural boycott of Judeans will soon become a mere footnote in today’s Islamic crusade. What we can do is use this as an opportunity to show the parallels of culture and ideology, and how they need to be viewed together: one forms the basis […]

September 2024:A poem by Jason D. Hill.

August 2024:Sharia is not a system which any Western person would—even should—perceive as morally recognizable.

August 2024:The fear of being labeled as “Islamophobic” has caused far too many people to avoid examining the problems that come with normalizing Sharia.

August 2024:A poem by Darren Glick

August 2024:Dmitri Shufutinsky argues that Islamists and Marxists have conquered social movements in the US and the West, using them as vehicles to promote their ideologies and undermine Western democracy. He calls for a return to focused social movements that avoid being co-opted by unrelated causes.

August 2024:Islam is a religion that insists on global adoption of its laws and customs, even in non-Islamic countries.

June 2024:We have terrorism masquerading as free speech; anti-Semitism is now a credential for the human rights community. New York’s governor has hopes of reinstituting the anti-mask law. It was repealed on account of the pandemic. It’s now once again necessary—this time to unmask violent anti-Semites who benefit from the anonymity of crowds and the darkness of night.

June 2024:The hijacking—nay, the occupation—of campuses by Hamas sympathizers has less to do with a conflict 5,000 miles away and more to do with dethroning America.

June 2024:Despite being rooted in empathy, this coddling fantasy is the height of racism. It denies Arabs and Muslims—who, these days, serve as stand-ins for blacks or native Latin Americans—of their agency and keeps it in the hands of Eurocentric Westerners.

June 2024:The layered approach to conquest taken by Islamism was made possible by Joseph Goebbels and his Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, which made a religion of Nazism in the same way that Islamism disguises its political agenda as a religious one.

April 2024:This cultural export—the Hollywood Western—framed a perception about the people who lived on the opposite shores of the Atlantic Ocean. It was an image of frontiersmen of quiet dignity, a people who could think for themselves and possessed the self-sufficiency to go it alone. Rugged nonconformists.

April 2024:It is not uncommon for Jihadis to create an international outrage, debate, and narrative around human rights, brotherhood, right to religion, etc. They get people engaged in loud debates around these while they silently indulge in their favorite hobbies of severing heads and blasting bombs.

April 2024:A poem by Darren Glick

April 2024:I am back in the times where you couldn’t turn on the radio or open a newspaper (and you had to open a newspaper to get your “political information” school credit) without hearing (or reading) “we, proud Soviet citizens of Jewish Ethnicity, thoroughly condemn the militarism and barbarity of the Zionist State.”

April 2024:If today’s ascendent Islamic supremacism is more openly anti-Jewish than Nazism, more misogynist than the “patriarchal West” at its worst, sexually repressive beyond any church or cult, and imperialistic in its very self-definition, it has counted on the complicity of what philosophy superstar Judith Butler proudly identifies as the anti-racist, anti-sexist, pro-queer, anti-imperialist “progressive global left.”

April 2024:Israel’s embrace of non-conforming national pride and religious tradition has not only enabled the Jewish state to survive but to thrive despite facing 75 years of continuous aggression from various enemies bent on its destruction.

April 2024:In director Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1970 Il conformista (“The Conformist”), based on Alberto Moravia’s 1947 novel of the same name, we follow the life of Marcello, an ordinary if psychologically damaged man in Italy in the 1930s.

April 2024:It is profoundly uninspiring to realize that in the United States we have willfully, yes willfully, jettisoned our individualism in favor of group identity. The notion that marginalized groups must think alike is detrimental to the very groups.

April 2024:The essence of activism and advocacy isn’t a fundraising and marketing game. It isn’t staying up to date on the latest social media trends. It isn’t avoiding certain truths as to not lose donor dollars, and it isn’t a popularity contest. It is knocking on G-d’s door.

April 2024:Right now, your adolescent is fed that their hair color, their nose and lip shapes, their body shape, the way they look, the way they dance, the way they dress is more important than their character, than how they treat people and how they treat themselves.

April 2024:Being a nonconformist is not about fighting for the sake of fighting. Nonconformists do not seek to burn things down and watch the smoke settle. They desire to create transformation and positive change.

April 2024:Hamas, as a triumphalist idea of ridding the world of Israel and Jews, may never be defeated. But it’s at least possible that it can be roundly defeated as an armed entity aiming its Iran-supplied weapons at the heart of Israel. Hamas as an idea, like the Hydra, may grow more heads when its head is cut off. But those heads, without a body—a functional infrastructure of war—will be de-fanged.

April 2024:The rabbis say that the gates of repentance always stand open. And I hope and pray that one day you will walk through them, and realize the error that drove you to moral depravity and useful idiocy.

March 2024:The worldwide Jewish community is doing all it can to combat anti-Semitism, right? It’s comforting to believe that. It means you can carry on with your day-to-day life, certain in the knowledge our leadership is working flat out on your behalf.

March 2024:There were too many fact-based condemnations of Hamas’s sadistic barbarism on October 7. The left-wing and lesbian feminists could stand it no longer. They finally had to speak out against what they call the “weaponization” of rape by those who dare to oppose Hamas.

March 2024:The threat Candace Owens presents is tangible. She has millions of followers and has decided that her main targets are the Jews. She is a channel for Nick Fuentes and his call for an America First, Christian Nationalist "holy war against Judaism."

February 2024:I did not hear these pro-Hamas marchers, especially the lesbian, “queer,” and feminist ones, calling for an end to rape, woman-battering, or the persecution of homosexuals and “queers” in Gaza. I saw no signs that condemned honor killing or polygamy. No one called for reproductive freedom for American women or for an Equal Rights Amendment.

February 2024:I walked into the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) on Malcolm X Boulevard to attend a fundraising gala where three black Muslims—two radical imams and a Boston city councilor—were scheduled to appear. Frankly, I was more than a little bit nervous.

February 2024:A new theatrical production devoted to telling the story of the White Rose—from their inception to their demise—has come to Theatre Row on 42nd Street in New York City for a 12-week run.

January 2024:Jews should de-colonize and re-indigenize both their rhetoric and minds. They should understand that identity matters; and that how they identify themselves matters.

January 2024:It is often ignored that Jerusalem is also the national ethnic center of the Jewish people. Whereas Christianity and Islam’s attachments to Jerusalem are only religious, there is a dual Jewish religious and national-ethnic attachment to the city. Jerusalem has been the national capital of the Jewish people for 3,000 years and continues to serve as the capital of the modern State of Israel.

January 2024:Genetics has proven that modern Jewish populations carry their Israelite ancestors’ ancient Middle Eastern DNA.

January 2024:A poem by Darren Glick

January 2024:What do they have in common? Though they live in far-flung countries all over the world, they share common ancestry with the ancient Israelites. Though they may speak different languages, they all share the Hebrew language.

January 2024:to be a Jew goes beyond just your DNA. While no Jew can ever stop being a Jew according to our tradition and Jewish law, there are some basic minimums each Jew must uphold to be considered a Jew who is still part of the community.

January 2024:My mother told me that the Jewish people are like a hand because I asked her why she was crying. “You see my hand,” she said. “If I cut one of my fingers, where do you feel the pain?” I must have said, “the entire hand,” because this is when she told me that the Jewish people are like one hand; that if the Jewish people are hurting in Israel, we hurt everywhere.

January 2024:This is a story about Judea, a girl who faces bullying in school by a group of kids who purposefully call her not by her given name. The more that Judea tries to show to the students that her name is Judea, the more proof she brings, the bullying increases.

January 2024:In honor of my grandfather Stephan Igra and his brothers and sisters. Each of them deserve recognition and respect for their actions during the war in Warsaw. Where they “lived” outside of the Ghetto. I say “lived” because it’s nothing we can ever imagine. Some were in hiding being shuffled to different safe houses, others were fighting for the underground. I say Thank you and halleluyah… for I am because of you!

December 2023:It is overly simplistic to refer to “the Israel-Palestine conflict.” Hamas belongs to the Islamist “resistance” camp, whose ideology began to leave its stamp on the Islamic world in general, and Palestinian society in particular, during the first half of the 20th century.

November 2023:For centuries this phrase has been used against us. But now many of us state it proudly, with all the pride Herzl envisioned. And those Jews who haven't yet gotten there should now understand the tremendous gift it is to finally define ourselves, proudly.

November 2023:The language of Jihad is confined to the spreading of terror. It is not an invitation to a debate or civil discourse of any kind. It forsakes the presentation of ideas in favor of mob veto, the silence of intimidation.

November 2023:The forces of Jihadi evil are gaining ground exponentially because the forces of good refuse to go on offense against Jihad.

November 2023:Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man | His enemies say he's on their land | They got him outnumbered about a million to one | He got no place to escape to, no place to run | He's the neighborhood bully.

November 2023:Hamas is not interested in living in peace with Israel. Hamas wants Israel’s 7 million Jews to rest in peace and establish an Islamic state on the ruins of the Jewish state.

November 2023:Radical Islamist countries understand that to defeat Western democracy, they must first conquer the academy.

November 2023:Is there any other identity group about which it would be acceptable to celebrate their mass slaughter, and campaign to bring that slaughter to your campus? What exactly are all those diversity and inclusion administrators paid to do, if not to prevent this?

November 2023:Iran, together with Russia and China, form a Triad of Terror. Western Civilization is the common enemy that strengthens their malleable but unbreakable bonds.

November 2023:The passing down of Nazi ideology from the Muslim Brotherhood to the more modern-day Islamist organizations truly casts the entire region heavily, and depressingly, under Hitler’s shadow. But it also presents a ray of hope.

November 2023:It has become increasingly clear in recent years that administrators at many of our most prestigious institutions of higher learning are lost in a fog of political correctness. Their indulgence of anti-Semitic incitement is not a surprise. It is merely the latest in a long line of politically correct failures.

November 2023:The de-colonization narrative in regard to Israel is not only false but dangerous. And just as in the Soviet Union it provided the necessary support for anti-Zionism to become fully operational, it is currently being used to demonize and delegitimize the Jewish people and Israel

November 2023:This poem is an exposition of an ideology that is often accepted as an embodiment of “universal brotherhood” and “peace,” but if you dig deep into the history, you would find that most exponents of this ideology considered themselves warriors of Jihad, and the primary role it has played in history is to serve as a pretty mask for extremism, terrorism, and Jihad.

December 2023:The canon of apology statements from Hamas supporters keeps growing richer and more diverse.

October 2023:A video by travelingisrael.com

October 2023:“Palestine” does not exist. The English word “Palestine” comes from the Latin Palaestina, the name the emperor Hadrian gave to the Land of Israel after the Romans crushed the Second Jewish Revolt in 135 c.e.

October 2023:Israel is under attack from the Gaza Strip by a terrorist group called Hamas, funded by Iran and Qatar. Both Iran and Qatar have publicly made clear that they wish to destroy Israel. Hamas has killed hundreds of Jewish civilians.

October 2023:The politics of hate, demonization of the opposition, and grievances can animate and mobilize political armies for a number of years, but they do nothing to form a common national vision and identity on which future generations can build. They lead us to the precipice of a second Civil War.

October 2023:There is nothing new in the Christian Nationalist brand. The lust to mix piety with political power is just too tempting. The jealousy embodied within replacement theology is apparently too powerful for many Christians to overcome.

October 2023:The Republican Party teeters on the edge of no longer being the party that freed the slaves, made America rich, and crushed Soviet communism.

September 2023:Elixir of the masses Addicted, strung out Crave their fix A historical roundabout

September 2023:Hopes for America are problematic, since there isn’t much brotherhood (or sisterhood) around now. With civilized avenues for debating issues closing down, the prospects for both American and Israeli society are indeed grim.

October 2023:It’s hard to think of a moment in the past 40 years in which American conservatism itself—as well as the Republican Party—has been more riven.

September 2023:Vivek’s trilogy of books can be useful for understanding how wokeness has penetrated American businesses and allowed the victimhood mentality to spread. It can also serve as a warning: that being a political outsider and successful businessman doesn’t make a good conservative politician.

September 2023:The anti-Semitism on the right is like a heart attack—it’s violent and fast moving. The right has guns and is hence more dangerous to our immediate security and wellbeing. The anti-Semitism on the left is like a cancer—it’s slow moving and corrosive. It threatens to disenfranchise Jews from politics and society. And both forms seem to be feeding off each other.

September 2023:Attacking the ADL is a proxy for ending censorship of Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism and making anti-Semitism mainstream all under the guise of “free speech.”

September 2023:Our fears of a creeping authoritarianism are not just a spasm. Both the left and the right have become embroiled in Orwellian tactics to curb speech and censor those with whom they disagree.

September 2023:In order for schools to meet their most basic mandate—educating students—they must first refocus on just that. And to do that, school administrators and educators need to stop playing partisan games and get back to teaching kids.

July 2023:People like me have grown very, very tired of people like Weiner, telling us to sit down and shut up, lest we "divide" the community—or ruin a nice party.

July 2023:Women of all ages are being lured by the power of social media to use their bodies and sexuality to gain attention in ways that the original feminists would find incomprehensible.
