Trump says he will designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization

If this really happens and has teeth, it could be a devastating blow to the pro-Sharia Muslim establishment in the U.S. All the major Muslim groups in this country are linked in various ways to the Muslim Brotherhood.

“EXCLUSIVE: Trump tells Just the News he will designate Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization,” by John Solomon, Just The News, November 23, 2025:

President Donald Trump told Just the News on Sunday morning that he will designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, striking a blow against a group long blamed for destabilizing the Middle East and radicalizing young Muslims.

“It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms,” Trump said. “Final documents are being drawn.”

The president’s announcement came just days after Just the News published a long expose on the Muslim Brotherhood’s activities and growing concerns inside the Trump administration. Trump has been considering the move since his first administration.

The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamist group founded nearly a century ago in Egypt but with chapters, parties, and affiliated movements around the world.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott last week designated the MB and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as being “foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations.” CAIR has denied the label and sued the Texas government. According to Politico, “CAIR says that proclamation, which bars its members from buying land in Texas, violates its members’ constitutional property and free speech rights.”

Republicans in the House and the Senate, along with some Democrats, have been pushing the State Department to designate the Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated in August that the designation of the MB as a foreign terrorist organization was “in the works” but that the process was a lengthy and careful one, including because the MB has numerous branches and affiliates to examine individually.

A number of Middle Eastern countries have already taken action against the MB, with Egypt and Jordan banning the group and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain labeling it a terrorist organization.

The MB pushed back against the potential terrorism label during the first Trump administration, arguing in 2019 that “we will remain […] steadfast in our work in accordance with our moderate and peaceful thinking in what we believe to be right, for honest and constructive cooperation, to serve the communities in which we live and humanity as a whole.”

“The Muslim Brotherhood will remain stronger — through God’s grace and power — than any decision,” the MB added at that time. The MB’s motto is “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”…

Netanyahu Insists: No Palestinian State West of the Jordan

In the face of the Trump administration signifying support for a UN Security Council Resolution, drafted largely by the Americans, that recognizes a “path to statehood for the Palestinians,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to reassure the Israeli public that there would never be a Palestinian state “west of the Jordan River.” His formulation left open the possibility of a Palestinian state east of the Jordan River, on territory that was originally intended to be part of the Palestine Mandate but instead, at the insistence of Great Britain, became the Emirate of Transjordan, and later, the Arab State of Jordan. Netanyahu was simply reaffirming the policy he has proclaimed for his entire political life — that of opposition to a “Palestinian state.” But he was now saying it in a different political climate. After the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks, 80% of the Israeli public — a historic high — is now against a Palestinian state. At the same time, more countries in the West — including France, the U.K., Spain, and Norway — are choosing to recognize a “state of Palestine.” More on Netanyahu’s reaffirmation of a policy opposing a Palestinian state, which he described as “firm and unchanged,” can be found here: “Israel’s opposition to Palestinian state remains ‘firm and unchanged,’ Netanyahu tells cabinet,” by Keshet Neev, Jerusalem Post, November 16, 2025:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed Israel’s opposition to a Palestinian state and commitment to demilitarize Hamas, during his opening remarks at the Sunday government meeting.

The meeting included a discussions with ministers on the issue of a Palestinian state. Ron Dermer took part in the meeting, despite his resignation from his role as strategic affairs minister last week.

The statements came after a recent wave of remarks from politicians and far-right lawmakers, calling on Netanyahu to clarify Israel’s stance regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state.

“A Palestinian state, our opposition to a Palestinian state on any territory west of the Jordan River remains firm and unchanged,” Netanyahu said at the meeting.

“I have been pushing back against these attempts for decades, doing so in the face of pressure from abroad and from home. So I do not need reinforcements, tweets, or lectures from anyone,” he added….

Netanyahu has never wavered in his opposition to a Palestinian state, as he reminded the right-wing members of his cabinet who had called for his “clarification.”

On Friday, the US, Qatar, Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Turkey issued a joint statement expressing support for a US-drafted UN Security Council resolution under consideration that would “offer a pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.

This is the first time that the Trump administration has come out so clearly in favor of “a pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood,” and that is why Netanyahu felt the need to assert, yet again, that Israel would never permit it.

Additionally, a Palestinian state was mentioned in a UN Security Council draft from Thursday, discussing the International Security Force that is meant to govern Gaza.

That UN Security Council draft was the handiwork of the Americans, who are not going to veto their own resolution.

It could be argued that there is still a long way to go, and many obstacles, before Palestinian statehood could possibly be a reality. The Palestinian Authority would have to stop supporting terrorism, which means it would have to end its Pay-For-Slay program, and rewrite its schoolbooks that today glorify terrorists and terrorism. The future PA-run state of Palestine would likely have to agree to be disarmed, just as Hamas will be forcibly disarmed in Gaza, almost certainly by the IDF, as no one else has yet shown a willingness to do the job. There would have to be a provision for the 520,000 Israelis now living in Judea and Samaria. What status would they have in a “state of Palestine”? Would they be forced to move back into a much smaller Israel, now squeezed back within the 1949 armistice lines, leaving the Jewish state with a nine-mile-wide waist from Qalqilya to the sea? Or would they remain where they are, living in Israeli enclaves within, but not a part of, a state of Palestine? Or would they become citizens of “Palestine”?

So many questions, which those who now recognize a “state of Palestine” have not dared to even try to answer.

But one question has received a firm and unambiguous answer from the prime minister of Israel: No, a thousand times no, to a state of Palestine west of the Jordan River. And the Israeli public overwhelmingly agrees. Will the Trump administration support its most loyal ally, still fighting for its survival on seven fronts against implacable jihadists, or will it continue its folly of trying to appease the Arabs by seeming to favor the possibility of a 23rd Arab state?

Texas governor Abbott designates Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas-linked CAIR ‘foreign terrorist organizations’

This is good to see and long overdue, but we shall soon see if it actually has any teeth. We’ve been sounding the alarm about the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), while it has only grown in wealth, power, and influence. Will it now be able to use that wealth, power, and influence to render this designation utterly devoid of meaning? Don’t be surprised if it does.

“Texas governor Abbott designates Cair and Muslim Brotherhood terrorist groups,” by Joseph Gedeon, Guardian, November 18, 2025:

Texas governor Greg Abbott declared the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) and the Muslim Brotherhood to be “foreign terrorist organizations” on Tuesday, prohibiting them from acquiring property in the state and authorizing legal action to shut down affiliated entities.

The move marks a massive escalation in Abbott’s confrontation with Muslim organizations and communities in Texas, though states have no authority to designate foreign terrorist organizations on behalf of the US.

“The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and Cair to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation and harassment are unacceptable,” Abbott said in a statement. “These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.”

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, only the US secretary of state can officially designate foreign terrorist organizations, following consultation with the attorney general and treasury secretary. The process requires congressional notification and publication in the Federal Register.

The impact of the action by Abbott, who this month announced that he is intending to run again for the governor’s seat next November, is limited to Texas state law enforcement and authorizes the state attorney general to sue organizations deemed affiliated with Cair or the Muslim Brotherhood, though Abbott’s office has not specified how it will determine affiliation or what enforcement actions it plans to take.

The designation carries no federal immigration consequences, asset freezing powers or criminal penalties under federal material support statutes that accompany legitimate federal terrorist designations….

Blessed are the Peacemakers

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” – Lord Acton, 1887.


What do you believe? Are your beliefs strong enough, that if they became hate speech tomorrow, you would continue to say those beliefs out loud? What if saying what you believe gets you arrested, gets you an expensive trial, or puts you in jail? Would you still say what you believe? Or, would you live in fear that the thought police will come knocking on your door because you dared to think thoughts different than the government-issued, allowable speech? The First Amendment gives us the right to speak as we choose. Words are just that, words. The Democrat Socialists, a.k.a. Marxists, will let you speak, as long as it is what you say matches their rhetoric, talking points, and agenda. Step out of line, think for yourself, rebel against the government norms. and it’s off to the Gulag for you!

Right now in Europe, moms are going to jail for speaking out against allowing kids to transition, comedians go off to jail for making fun of Mohammad, or making an unacceptable memes. Once the techies digitalize everything, especially money, there is no movement you make that will not be monitored. Bye Bye Freedom. Indeed, your agreement and acceptance into the Digital ID System is the last act of free will you will ever make. Europe is doing that now. What First Amendment? What bank account? What money? What property? All of this is being done in the name of peace.

New Jersey is already currently moving property into the Digital ID System.

Don’t fool yourself. Today in America, we do not have a free market. Crony Capitalism, where the government picks winners and losers, is our model. Will we ever go back to Free Market, small government, minimal regulations, supply and demand, instead of minimum choices determined by the government? I certainly hope so. Hopefully some good will come out of the government shutdown. We do not need the government to survive.

I have said over and over, BOTH parties are at fault. They are twisted, immersed in corruption, graft, and greed. The only good job Congress has done is to: destroy our elections, design our healthcare to kill us, eliminate our rights, increase the debt, steal our wealth. They lie and regulate small businesses out of business, and divide the people so we are alienated. In other words, destroy America from the inside and set the stage for Civil War. All in the name of peace.

The Left believes that America is Evil and MUST be transformed. They have taken a wrecking ball to America, and given supporters a license to kill. Once the devastation is so bad, they and only they, have all the answers. They have the magic formula to fix it. What is the formula? Turnover ALL control over to them. All means everything, they will do all the thinking, and all the planning. You will own nothing. They will be happy. They have no plan, except absolute power. You know what they say about Absolute Power.

If they really wanted to help We The People, they would know that we have everything in America to provide a very comfortable life for all Americans. But the Dems and RINOS want violence, destruction of cities, drugs, and government control. How is that good? It isn’t! So why do they want to destroy? So you are uncomfortable and afraid, you will beg for their help just to make it right. You will beg for peace, and for order. Please you will beg, save us. Bring us peace.

Why does the Left hate MAGA so much? Could it be because it gives the people back wealth, personal dignity, and our ability to lead and control our own lives? Why is it OK for other countries to put tariffs on us, and not make them reciprocal? Could it be because it will make America wealthy again?

Did you ever think seriously why DEI was pushed the way it was? Why not teach the kids reading, writing, math, and science? Answer: You wouldn’t need DEI, a billion dollar business with a perfect way to divide people and promote racism while keeping the people dumb. .

Yes, I agree, we live with crony capitalism. I don’t agree with everything Trump does or says, but living under Marxism is significantly worse. Be careful what you wish for. At least he is making an effort and doing something. He is actually bringing peace.

President Trump is successful because he takes risks to make things happen. For the first time in history, Israelis and Palestinians are celebrating together. Many countries came together to make this deal happen. Anyone who can bring peace to the world, especially in the Middle East, gets an A in my book!

Exactly what is the Dem plan? Bring in illegals, gaslight the people into paying for them, promote violence, jail parents for caring about their children, feed people chemicals so they will die slowly and need lots of drugs. Brainwash and teach kids to hate America, instead of teaching reading, writing, math, and science. Give away free stuff until there isn’t any more to give away.

As long as no one is held accountable for their actions, and schools teach hatred, nothing will change. It is up to We The People to change it. Are you willing to take risks to make this happen?

Trump and the End of That ‘3,000-Year Catastrophe’

On October 4, Trump boasted on social media about his plan to end the war in Gaza in this way:

After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas. When Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be IMMEDIATELY effective, the Hostages and Prisoner Exchange will begin, and we will create the conditions for the next phase of withdrawal, which will bring us close to the end of this 3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, STAY TUNED!

This is worrisome. Apparently Trump has no idea that this “catastrophe” — that is, the war between the Jews and Arabs in the Land of Israel — began after Islam appeared, not 3,000 years ago, but in the seventh century. In the mid-620s, the Arabs conquered the Jewish tribes in Medina. And then Arabs who had embraced the new religion of Islam swept out of the Arabian peninsula and managed to conquer vast swathes of territory from Morocco in the west to Sassanid Persia in the east. Trump does not know, it seems, that the Muslims first attacked the Jews in Arabia; he has no knowledge of Muhammad’s attack on the Jews living in the Khaybar Oasis; he does not know that the Muslim Arabs, during the Rashidun Caliphate, conquered Jerusalem in 636-637 A.D. Nor is he aware that Muslims believe that Jews are “the strongest in enmity” toward them, and that Muslims believe that Muhammad died from eating poisoned meat at a banquet prepared by a Jewish woman, and that the Jews are, according to Qur’an 98:6, just like all non-Muslims, the “most vile of created beings.” Bringing an end to the war in Gaza does not change that.

The war — that is, the jihad — conducted by Muslims against Jews has no end, no matter what treaties are signed by Muslim Arabs. The model for Muslim treaty-making with non-Muslims is the Treaty of Hudaybiyya, that Muhammad signed with the Meccans in 628 A.D., but after only 18 months, sensing his forces had become much stronger, he broke the treaty on a pretext and attacked the Meccans. That is why the Israelis must be wary of relying on treaties with Muslims. It is clear that Trump knows none of this history. Nor does he know about Muhammad’s two most famous hadith, “War is deceit” and “I have been made victorious through terror.”

Donald Trump fondly believes that in ending — possibly — the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, he has brought closure to a “3,000-year catastrophe.” He needs to learn much more about Islam, and Islamic history, in order to realize that the “catastrophe,” as he calls it, began when Islam began, early in the seventh century, and that war has no end. The jihad waged against Israel is also being waged, albeit using different weapons, against other non-Muslim lands and peoples, especially in Western Europe. Forty-four million Muslims now live in Europe, where they may eventually prevail, through continued immigration and Muslim fertility rates that are much higher than those of the indigenous Europeans. Muslims know that, as Muhammad said, “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.”

What Trump might have said is that he hopes that the war in Gaza will finally be over, with the hostages returned and with Hamas surrendering all of its weapons, and that he understands completely why Israel must rely on deterrence, and not on treaties, for its security, so that the 3,500-year history of Jews in the Land of Israel will not be snuffed out in order to make room for a 23rd Arab state.

Yes, that is what he might have said. But he didn’t. And he won’t.

Two Clear Wins for Netanyahu in Trump’s Gaza Deal

Two things are clear wins for Netanyahu. First, it is not the Palestinian Authority, but a group of Arab technocrats who will take over running Gaza after Hamas surrenders. Whether or not such people can actually be found is a different matter, but at very least, the plan does not allow for an extension of the Palestinian Authority’s corrupt rule.

Second, while a possible Palestinian state might appear in the future, that possibility is hedged in with doubts, that it is likely to never come to pass. Here is the relevant paragraph from the 20-point deal: “While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognise as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.”

How long will it take to redevelop Gaza? How many years just to remove the rubble before rebuilding can begin? And what about the “reform”of the PA that will also take a long time, to remove the PA’s thoroughly corrupt leadership, beginning with Mahmoud Abbas, who, with his sons Yasser and Tareq has amassed a family fortune of some $400 million? Abbas also allows his loyal courtiers to help themselves to millions of dollars in aid. How many years will it take to “reform” this endemic corruption? The PA hasn’t held an election since 2006. How long would it now take it to organize a free and fair election, one in which no Hamas members could run, when the PA has no experience of holding such an election in the last nineteen years?

Note the tone of doubt: “When the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognise as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.”

Will that and reform program be “faithfully carried out”? Will the PA change its ways when its entire history has been one of corruption by its leaders, and of rewarding past and incentivizing future terrorism through its “Pay-For-Slay” program that Abbas has sworn to continue? Note that a “credible pathway may finally be in place” — not “will be in place,” but only “may be in place for a credible pathway…to statehood” — again a deliberate phrasing that suggests a long time line, and expresses doubt with that phrase “may be” rather than “will be.” All along the way there are many conditions placed on both Hamas and Palestinians, which may not be met, from Hamas members refusing to “decommission” their weapons, that is, to turn them in peacefully, or the Palestinian Authority showing itself unable to run an election that is free nor fair, that will relieve Israel of the pressure to agree to the creation of a Palestinian state. The Israelis can be sure that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority will uphold all their part of the bargain (assuming that Hamas accepts the deal). The “reform of the PA” will not halt the massive corruption that characterizes the PA, and an election held under PA auspices for a new government in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, is bound to have ballot-box stuffing in favor of the PA’s candidates. So for now, Israel need not worry that from this deal a Palestinian state will emerge. It won’t happen.

Texas high school parents group doxxes teens trying to start Turning Point USA chapter

Charlie Kirk was opposed to the red-green axis, recognizing it as a threat to America and Israel, and this opposition didn’t earn him friends. The Guardian published a story with the headline From ‘hellhole’ UK to anti-Muslim rhetoric in Japan, Charlie Kirk took his message abroad. Unsurprisingly, in this story, supporters of Kirk and TPUSA are described as “far right.” The left uses this term to describe anyone who opposes suicidal immigration policies, as well as those who tell the truth about jihad,  and about the conquest and martyrdom that Muslim leaders themselves at the highest levels call for. Illustrating the fact that this call is taken seriously are 1400 years of the history of jihad.

In Texas, the Department of Justice announced an investigation of the Muslim EPIC City Sharia enclave. Amy Mek has written:

Retired Lieutenant Douglas Deaton exposed a disturbing reality: EPIC’s Sharia-controlled enclave in Plano isn’t some future vision—it already exists. For nearly 12 years, EPIC has operated a religiously exclusive neighborhood comprising 74 homes, a sprawling mosque, Islamic schools, a medical clinic, and Sharia-compliant financial services. Most alarming, the enclave includes a fortress-like residence constructed directly beside the Plano Police Academy—strategically positioned to overlook restricted law enforcement areas and tactical assets. They haven’t been hiding—they’ve been operating in plain sight. And no one stopped them.

Given the alliance between the hard left and Islam (that is, aka the red-green axis), it’s no wonder that the left is frothing at the mouth given the formation of a new TPUSA group in Texas. The fact that rabid, adult Democrats would partake in doxxing high school kids is indicative of just what is spreading inside America that must be stopped before political violence becomes a norm.

Democrats label anyone who opposes open-door, unvetted migration, and the Marxist group Black Lives Matter, and who calls out the jihad and opposes the Palestinian “resistance” as bigoted, “racist,” “Islamophobic” and white supremacist. They ignore the fact that almost half of Latinos voted for Trump in the elections; and that increasing numbers blacks and other visible minorities support him. It is the left that is genuinely racist, and has set up an us versus them scenario that either ignores or castigates any minority that deviates from their Marxist plan to reshape America. They want to see America devolve into the same third world chaos from which minorities are fleeing. In their view, visible minorities are incapable of seeing the obvious.

“‘These Are Kids’: Dem Parent Accused Of Targeting High School Students Trying To Start TPUSA Group,” by Hank Berrien, Daily Wire, September 19, 2025:

When high school students tried to form a Turning Point USA chapter, the vice president of a local Democratic club in Texas rallied her Facebook group to pressure teachers against sponsoring it.

Nathalie Herpin, a parent and the vice president of the Spring Valley Democrats, posted an “urgent request” on Facebook, urging members to block students’ efforts to launch a Turning Point USA chapter at Stratford High School in Houston’s Spring Branch Independent School District.

“Please please please send emails to two teachers who are rumored to have agreed to sponsoring a club that will sow division and hate among our students,” Herpin wrote. “This is dangerous territory, and it would help if those teachers knew that their consideration was not appreciated by the remainder of the student body.”

Herpin then mentioned Denise Bell, the chair of Harris County’s “Moms for Liberty” chapter, stating that she was “pushing for Stratford students to start a TurningPoint USA club at the school.” Herpin referenced a private GroupMe chat, saying Bell had added “the Gulf Coast Representative of ‘Club America’ which is the Turning Point USA student club name – but it is absolutely the same organization.”…

Trump Administration Has No Intention of Pressuring or Bullying Israel to Make Territorial Concessions

Mike Huckabee, America’s Ambassador to Israel, has warmly embraced the embattled state where he is serving: “Hands-off approach: Israel to make its own decisions regarding West Bank, Huckabee tells ‘Post,’” by Alex Winston and Amichai Stein, Jerusalem Post, August 21, 2025:

“In his [Trump’s] first term, the administration was very clear that it is not a violation of international law for Israelis to live in Judea and Samaria,” the ambassador told the Post. “That was a very clear doctrine of the first Trump term. But beyond that, the US has not taken a position on what Israel should do. It should make its own decisions.”

What a welcome statement: at long last, an American administration that has no intention of pressuring or bullying Israel to make territorial concessions, that recognizes the validity under international law of Israel’s claim to Judea and Samaria, but will leave it entirely up to Jerusalem to decide how much of the territory “from the river to the sea” it will retain, and how it will deal with the Palestinian Arabs both in Gaza and in Judea and Samaria. The Trump Administration is on record that in its view, Israeli Jews have a right under international law to move to, and live everywhere in, Judea and Samaria. That is a colossal change from the view of previous administrations that tried to claim that Judea and Samaria would necessarily become part of a “Palestinian state” whose creation was deemed necessary to bring peace between Arab and Jew. Its proponents call this the “two-state solution,” as if calling it a “solution” made it so, when many recognize such a state would not sate, but whet Arab appetites to conquer the rest of Israel, in order to replace it with a 23rd Arab state extending “from the river to the sea.”

When pressed about whether this view means there is no explicit “don’t” from the administration regarding annexation, Huckabee’s response was characteristically measured: “I’m not familiar with whether they [the Israelis] would or would not” [annex Judea and Samaria] It was a diplomatic answer that nevertheless suggested that the traditional American role as a restraining influence may be diminishing.

The ambassador’s language choices were deliberate and revealing. He consistently used the biblical terms “Judea” and “Samaria” rather than the more politically neutral “West Bank,” explaining that many in the administration prefer this terminology because of its historical and religious significance….

The place names “Judea” and “Samaria” have been in continuous use in the Western world for 3,500 years; the “West Bank” is not “politically neutral,” but rather, a loaded term that was deliberately created by Jordan to efface those Jewish place names, and hence erase the too-obvious Jewish connection to the land. The Romans did the same 2,000 years ago, when they renamed the Kingdom of Judah as “Syria Palaestina” (“Syria of the Philistines”), which then became shortened to “Palestine.”

Huckabee emphasized that American policy remains focused on protecting vulnerable communities while encouraging peaceful resolution of disputes….

Those “vulnerable communities” in Syria include the Druze, the Alawites, and the Kurds. The Americans want to make sure that there is no repetition of the attacks last March on the Alawites in their Idlib stronghold by Sunnis, some of whom were part of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the main rebel group that was commanded by Ahmed al-Sharaa. The Americans are also worried about the renewal of attacks by Syrian army forces on the Druze, some half-million of whom live in Syria. The Druze are now relying for their safety on the IDF, that has promised to protect them should Sunni Arab attacks on them erupt again.

The Americans chose to look on the bright side with Ahmed al-Sharaa, hoping he had indeed shed his Al-Qaeda sympathies — he once had a $10-million bounty placed on his head by Washington — and become a pragmatist. To encourage him, the Trump administration lifted American sanctions on Damascus. The Israelis, however, remain deeply suspicious of al-Sharaa, considering him to have continued, despite having traded his military fatigues for a suit and tie, to be a jihadist. They were confirmed in this belief not only by the Syrian government troops who took part in the massacre of 1,400 Alawites in their heartland of Idlib Province, but by the series of massacres of the Druze in Sweida, carried out between April and May 2025 by Sunni government troops who had arrived in the town under the pretext that they would stop the fighting between Druze and Bedouin. Instead, they joined the Bedouin in slaughtering Druze; that slaughter only ended when the IDF bombed Sunni troops in Sweida and threatened to intervene on the ground; al-Sharaa got the message and the Sunni Arabs withdrew, bringing the killing to an end. Many of the Druze in Sweida, well aware that Israel is their only protector, have begun to agitate for an autonomous Druze territory within Syria, but allied with Israel.

Israel Aerospace Industries CEO Says His Company Ready to Help US Build ‘Golden Dome’ Defense

Trump’s announcement of a plan to create a “Golden Dome” for the entire US, an anti-aerial defense system, able to detect and intercept rockets, missiles, drones, and airplanes, has been mocked by some — after all, if Trump proposes it, it must be treated as ridiculous — is not being mocked at all by those who know what they are talking about. Leading that list is the CEO of Israel Aerospace Industries, Boaz Levy, who hopes that his company will play an important role in Golden Dome’s development.

More on Israel’s hope to have a major role in the development of the “Golden Dome” can be found here: “IAI CEO: US should pick us to build the Golden Dome missile defense shield,” by Yonah Jeremy Bob and Anna Ahronheim, Jerusalem Post, August 16, 2025:

The US should select Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to develop its Golden Dome missile defense shield because they built the Arrow defense system together, IAI CEO Boaz Levy told the Magazine in a recent interview.

Levy said, “One of the lessons from the war [with Iran], Operation Rising Lion, is that collaboration is the name of the game. There is no doubt that you cannot win big wars without partnerships, which also go operational.”

The IAI CEO stated, “There is a lot of initiative in US-Israel cooperation, which especially manifested itself during this war. The active Israeli defense apparatus has multiple layers against ballistic missiles.

“A lot of the materials are made in the US, but the brain is in Israel. It would be natural for the US to use it because it’s an entirely American system,” he explained.

Further, he stated, “The Golden Dome initiative of President Trump has components where we are already cooperating. There are two pieces: land-based and sea-based defenses; and defenses from space.

“Space has two pieces: identification and tracking of the threat; and shooting down the threat,” remarked Levy.

Next, Levy noted that the Arrow 3 brings all the pieces and purposes of the relevant missile defense functions and goals together for use by the distinct branches of the military.

In addition, he said, “US Space Force General Michael Guetlein was appointed [to run the Golden Dome program]. He has the capability to lead the missile defense and space components. They need to bring a vision” and decide the details and the price tag that they want to help companies like IAI, which will bid for the project, to frame their proposals.

“But the technology is all very possible.”…

Tom Friedman and Nicholas Kristof, both know-it-all columnists for the New York Times, lead the brigade of scoffers, but one of the world’s great experts in missile-and-rocket defense, CEO Boaz Levy of Israeli Aerospace Industries, knows that the Golden Dome is no impossible fantasy, but with the right amount of materiel and money from the U.S., and the brainpower of Israeli scientists to supplement those of American scientists, is entirely possible.

Some European states, especially the U.K. and France, that are now planning to recognize a “state of Palestine” at the UN General Assembly meeting in September if Israel has not by that point agreed to end the Gaza war, have also threatened the possible cutting off of arms sales to Israel. They may find, in true cutting-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face fashion, that it is Israel that could, in response to those states’ putting an embargo on weapons for Israel, cut off its technological assistance to the European Sky Shield program. Israel needs European weapons less than European countries need Israeli weapons.

Israel’s anti-missile technology — David’s Sling, Arrow 2,3, and 4, Iron Dome — has been proven on the battlefield to be spectacularly effective. No European arms manufacturer can boast of its weapons performances having been tested on the real-world battlefield, as Israeli defense firms so obviously can.

That means that a lot of IAI’s sales of multi-mission radar systems are to countries that are diplomatically at odds with the Jewish state. Some of those buying Israeli radar systems are bound to mute their hostility, and may even come to see their weapons supplier — the Jewish state — in a more favorable light.

“We see a reflection of the threats that we see in Israel in theaters around the world. And it’s not about the technology being used; it’s about the threats posed,” he said, explaining that in conflicts around the globe, there is an increasing use of ballistic missiles, rockets, drones, and UAVs.

And it is precisely against these — ballistic missiles rockets, drones, and UAVs — that the Israelis have built an integrated series of weapons, that provide a layered defense against short, medium, and long-range threats.

Does anyone doubt that if the U.S. builds that Golden Dome program to protect the entire country from rockets, missiles, and drones, that Israel will prove to be the one indispensable foreign partner in the program, giving back in military expertise ten times the value of the American weaponry it receives?

Tennessee: Mohamed Mohamed Rapes Unconscious Woman in Front of Church Just Before She Dies

Once again, we see the result of bringing into the country large numbers of people who believe that unveiled women are asking to be raped and can be legitimately raped (cf. Qur’an 33:59).

“Tenn. Man Charged with Raping Unconscious Woman In Front of Church — Just Before She Died,” by Ben Brachfeld, People, August 15, 2025:

A Tennessee man is accused of raping a woman as she drifted in and out of consciousness by the front steps of a Nashville church — shortly before she died.

Mohamed Mohamed, 39, is charged with four counts of rape in relation to an alleged assault on an unconscious woman in front of the house of worship on Nolensville Pike in Nashville’s Woodbine neighborhood Thursday evening, according to a press release from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

Authorities say a Fire Department crew was traveling down Nolensville Pike just after 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 14, when they spotted an alleged sexual assault taking place. The fire crew alleged that Mohamed was attempting to pull the woman’s pants up as they pulled over.

The woman, who remains a Jane Doe, was seen on surveillance video apparently under the influence, walking unsteadily and setting herself down on the steps. Police say Mohamed then approached her, sat down beside her and began touching her as she drifted in and out of consciousness, attempting to swat him away to no avail.

Mohamed then allegedly lifted her off the steps, set her on the ground and “repeatedly sexually assaulted her,” police wrote in the press release.

The woman was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died soon after arriving….

U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Both PA and PLO Members

Better late than never:, the American government will now impose sanctions on both members of the Palestinian Authority and on the PLO as an organization. More on this welcome news can be found here: “US to sanction Palestinian Authority, PLO members, State Dept. confirms,” by Guy Alster, Reuters, July 31, 2025:

The United States will impose sanctions on several members of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, the State Department said on Thursday.

The State Department announced it had reported to Congress that neither the PLO nor the PA complied with their commitments under the PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 and the Middle East Peace Commitments Act of 2002.

The offenses listed included “taking actions to internationalize its conflict with Israel” through the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice, as well as supporting and glorifying violence, particularly in textbooks, and the pay-to-slay program.

The move prevents those targeted from receiving visas to travel to the United States, the statement said. “It is in our national security interests to impose consequences and hold the PLO and PA accountable for not complying with their commitments and undermining the prospects for peace.”

The State Department did not confirm which individuals would be sanctioned.

These sanctions on PA and PLO officials come after the State Department imposed sanctions on more than 115 Iran-linked individuals and entities. Their assets in the U.S. may be frozen and they be prohibited from entering the United States. This might extend to Iranian diplomats currently assigned to the U.N. It will certainly make the life of Iranian officials much more difficult. Foreigners who serve as apologists for, and agents of, Iran, while living in this country, such as the sinister Trita Parsi, a Swedish citizen, are likely to have their visas revoked.

The US has already imposed sanctions on Iranian-linked individuals and on the UN’s Special Rapporteur for Conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese. The UN now says that the American government has no power to deny the antisemitic Albanese from entering the US. The American State Department does not agree; it has no intention of allowing Albanese, who has been carrying on a campaign at the UN against both Israel and America, to visit, or live, or work in the US. We’ll see who wins that diplomatic tug of war.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is smiting the enemies of this country and of Israel hip and thigh as has never been done by any administration before. He’d be an excellent presidential candidate in 2028.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Has Been Plotting to Kill American Officials

The Iranians have hired killers to threaten, scare, and attack Israeli and Jewish sites in Sweden and Denmark. Live grenades were found near the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, and grenades were actually thrown at the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen. The leading Israeli defense company Elbit had explosives go off at its offices both in Sweden (Gothenburg) and in Belgium (Brussels). Iran supplied to its criminal mercenaries a list of targets and what was to be done with them: kidnappings and murders of Israelis, attacks on Jewish community sites, grenade attacks on Israeli embassies and Israeli-owned businesses, and the killing of exiled Iran journalists. Quite a long list.

The Iranians, or their mercenaries, have been plotting to kill American officials. An Iranian plot to kill Mike Pompeo, Trump’s former Secretary of State, was foiled in time. Another former Trump official, former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien, was tailed by two “Middle Eastern men” in Paris to his hotel, from which he later had to be “extracted by his security detail.” Were those who had been following him Iranians, or men hired by the Iranians? And were they intent on killing him, or only on threatening him?

Tehran’s agents managed to stab a dissident Iranian journalist in London. An enemy of the Tehran regime, the singer Shahin Najafi, almost died after an attack on her in Hannover, Germany.

Another Iranian plot was directed at killing John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser from 2018 to 2019. Bolton has long been an outspoken hawk on the Islamic Republic. He is now under round-the-clock security. The government has offered a $20 million award for information leading to the arrest of an Iranian national, Shahram Poursafi, whom the American government believes tried to hire hitmen to kill Bolton. Poursafi is likely to now be safely back in Iran.

Hezbollah, and thus its puppet-master Iran, was responsible for the 1994 attack on the Argentinian Mutual Israelite Association (AMIA). Iran, through Hezbollah, was also responsible for the attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992. Alberto Nisman had investigated and uncovered incontrovertible evidence of Iran’s role in the AMIA attack. For that, he had to be killed.

All over Europe, and in North and South America, too, dissident Iranians and their non-Iranian supporters, and Jewish communal leaders having nothing to do with Iran, are known to be the targets of the Iranian regime, either directly using its own nationals, or employing members of Hezbollah, or even common criminals, whom it hires to carry out some of its political assassinations. The fatwa against Rushdie was ultimately carried out; he lost an eye, and almost died in the attack. In New York City, several attempts have been made to kill the anti-hijab activist Masih Alinejad, but have been foiled in time; she now requires a permanent security detail. In the Netherlands, an MP, Ulysses Ellian, received a threatening letter from Iran’s Embassy, counseling him to stop speaking out about Iran — or else. He made the letter public, and has not been cowed. But the government of the Netherlands has yet to take action against Iran’s Embassy by, for example, demanding that the author of the letter be expelled, or perhaps threatening to shut down Iran’s embassy in The Hague altogether, a move sure to get Iran’s attention.

Providing security details to those threatened with death by the Iranians should not be the only response. In any country where threats are made by Iranian diplomatic personnel, or carried out by Iranians or those in their pay, the response ought to be to cut off diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic. After a few such cut-offs, the Iranians are likely to stop their overseas plotting. And if that cutoff in diplomatic relations does not have the desired effect, then the next stop is to place crippling economic sanctions — ending all Iranian imports, for example, to whatever country has experienced an attack by Iranian agents on its soil. Iran’s economy is already collapsing; such sweeping measures, carried out by half-dozen of Iran’s most important trading partners in Europe, will topple it.

Operation Midnight Hammer’s Lesson for Rogue States

The American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities will have consequences for rogue states elsewhere. They have now been put on notice that if they try to acquire a nuclear bomb, they should expect to have their program destroyed by the Americans. More on this salutary lesson can be found here: “Bigger Than Just Iran,” by Douglas J. Feith and Dore Feith, Washington Free Beacon, June 28, 2025:

The danger of nuclear war in the world just diminished drastically. Americans are safer now than they were. America has a vital interest in preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. By striking Iran, President Trump showed the resolve to use force to uphold that interest. The strategic significance of the blow extends far beyond Iran.

This was the first time the United States used a military attack to stop a country from acquiring a nuclear bomb. In the past, it had opposed nuclear proliferation through diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, and multilateral agreements. Those means have their merits but also their limitations. To be effective against rogue regimes, they have to be backed by power. President Trump has now made clear that America has that power and will use it to serve its nonproliferation purposes. Many U.S. presidents threatened military force to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, but until now those threats were of doubtful credibility.

This was not, however, the first time Israel used its military against an enemy’s nuclear program. The history is noteworthy. Israel sent its air force to hit Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981 and to hit Syria’s nuclear facility in 2007. No major retaliation, let alone a new war, resulted, and neither Iraq nor Syria rebuilt the damaged facilities. Both decided it was not worthwhile, given Israel’s determination to prevent any such program from succeeding.

We tend to forget the international outrage elicited by the IDF’s bombing of both the Osirak reactor in 1981 and of the Syrian nuclear facility at Al-Kabir 2007, but no one, nowadays, thinks either of those attacks was anything other than exactly the right move, that made the world safer.

The United States has demonstrated both the will, and the ability, to wreak destruction on a very elaborate nuclear program, with many components across the vast land of Iran, and some of them in the deep-delved earth — the uranium enrichment facility at Fordow, for example, sits under 300 feet of granite. Yet the Americans managed, using a dozen 30,000-pound bombs, the “bunker busters” that only the American military possesses, to cause “severe damage” and perhaps — the final judgement has not yet been made — to “totally obliterate” it.

By wreaking so much damage on Iran’s nuclear program, from which it will not soon recover — and if it does continue such work, President Trump has promised another attack will take care of that one, and the one after as well — the Americans have shown that they will continue to serve as the chief enforcers of non-proliferation in the world. Rogue states will not now be willing to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a nuclear program that will almost certainly be destroyed in time by the most powerful army in the world. The Americans have made not just themselves, and the Israelis, but the entire world much safer because of Operation Midnight Hammer.

Milstein: Israel Paves a Path

The diaspora should follow.

On June 21, 2025, the United States and Israel deepened their historic partnership, as American warplanes struck Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in a decisive blow against barbarism.

For the first time, the U.S. allowed an ally to lead: Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, using F-35 jets, cleared Iran’s skies and softened targets, paving the way for U.S. B-2 stealth bombers with GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles to dramatically diminish Iran’s nuclear ambitions. President Donald Trump hailed this as a triumph of freedom over evil, a moral stand in the fight between terror and liberty. This unprecedented cooperation, with Israel initiating and the U.S. completing the mission, sets a bold example for diaspora Jews to reject passivity and embrace self-reliance in the face of global threats.

Since the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023, the world has relentlessly dictated to Israel: don’t enter Rafah; negotiate with Hamas; trust Qatar to broker ceasefires with the Hamas terrorists; avoid confronting Hezbollah; ignore Houthi assaults; and never strike Iran. The message is clear: absorb blows, tolerate civilian casualties, dismiss enemies’ threats, and let others shape your fate. This counsel of passivity echoes a historical trap that has endangered Jews for centuries.

In the diaspora, Jews face similar advice: stay silent; avoid provocation; and trust law enforcement, politicians, or societal goodwill to protect us. Antisemitism, we’re told, won’t escalate. Don’t fight back; focus on building coalitions; tone down advocacy; and rely on systems for safety. Many comply, conditioned by centuries of vulnerability, to believe restraint ensures survival. The Holocaust, when six million stateless Jews perished as the world stood by, cemented this caution. Without a state or army, Jews in Europe were defenseless.

Yet Israel has rejected this paralysis, forging a destiny of strength and self-reliance. The 2003 flyover of Auschwitz by three Israeli F-15 Eagles, a powerful symbol of this transformation, captured Israel’s resolve.

In 2003, a squadron of Israel’s F-15 Eagles flew over Auschwitz, and Maj. General Amir Eshel, who led the flyover, stated on behalf of the IDF: “We pilots of the Israeli Air Force, flying in the skies above the camp of horrors, arose from the ashes of the millions of victims and shoulder their silent cries, salute their courage and promise to be the shield of the Jewish people and its nation Israel.” This vow underpins Israel’s actions—dismantling Hamas, crippling Hezbollah, and targeting Iran’s nuclear programs—now amplified by the U.S. partnership. In contrast, diaspora Jews often cling to a false belief that others will protect us, a divergence that demands action.

The surge of Antisemitism has shattered all illusions. On May 21, 2025, in Washington, D.C., Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were murdered outside the Capital Jewish Museum by Elias Rodriguez, who shouted “Free Palestine” in a hate crime the FBI called terrorism. On June 1, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national illegally in the U.S., threw Molotov cocktails at a Run for Their Lives rally, injuring 12, aiming to “kill all Zionist people.” Synagogues are defaced in London and Los Angeles. Jewish students face hostility at Columbia and UCLA. Jewish businesses endure vandalism. In Europe, France reports unprecedented violence since 2021. Yet, leaders urge patience: trust police, wait for calm. The U.S.-Israel operation charts a bolder path.

Israel’s security is existential. Since October 7, it has crushed Hamas’s military in Gaza, preventing another massacre. In 2024, it eliminated Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and its missile arsenal, weakening Iran’s network. Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile sites at Natanz, Isfahan, and Tehran, killing IRGC commanders Saeed Izadi and Behnam Shahriyari, set the stage for the U.S. to finish Iran’s nuclear threat. This U.S.-Israel model refuses to let dangers materialize.

This mindset is preparation, not aggression. In June 2025, Israel led, and the U.S. followed, based on the premise that our survival is non-negotiable. Diaspora Jews, relying on local authorities, face limits exposed by the 2018 Pittsburgh shooting, 2022 Colleyville crisis, D.C. murders, and Boulder attack. In Europe, knife attacks in Amsterdam demand self-reliance.

The diaspora need not stand alone. Israel’s resources—intelligence, cyber-defense, training—can empower communities. Shin Bet workshops could protect synagogues in New York. Israel’s moral support affirms that we are not isolated. In return, we must advocate for Israel’s right to self-defense. This synergy fortifies us both.

Diaspora Jews must reject the notion that antisemitism is fleeting. Threats from radical Islamists, far-left ideologues, and right-wing extremists escalate. The D.C. and Boulder attacks are part of a global wave. We cannot outsource safety. We must invest in security: trained guards, digital defenses, rapid-response networks. We can train youth, mirroring Israel’s preparedness, and foster Jewish pride.

Security is not isolation. The Islamo-leftist alliance threatens Jews and democracies. The U.S.-Israel partnership against Iran exemplifies cooperation. Diaspora Jews can forge coalitions with many other groups, retaining control over our safety.

Jewish history teaches survival demands resolve. The U.S.-Israel operation—Israel dismantling Hamas and Hezbollah, both neutralizing Iran’s nuclear threat—sets the path. We must invest in defenses, train our youth, deepen ties with Israel, and build alliances. Rejecting passivity, global Jewry can forge a future as architects of our destiny—united, resilient, and unafraid.

Iranian sniper in Alabama and Hizballah-linked jihadi in Minnesota arrested as Trump warns of violent sleeper cells

Violent jihadist sleeper cells, violent drug cartels, human traffickers and every predator and murderer walking the streets of America can be blamed on Joe Biden and his Democrats. Much the same can be said of every Western country that supported and still supports open-door immigration policies: this is all the doing of the left. Victims of these violent illegals will pay the price, while their tax dollars pay for the security of corrupt politicians.

Iranian Army sniper Ribvar Karimi was arrested, but there are many more on the loose who share his goals.

The Department of Homeland Security reported that in all, ICE arrested and took into custody “11 Iranian illegal migrants, many of them with criminal records.”

“Iranian army sniper and Hezbollah-linked ‘terrorist’ arrested in US as Trump warns of violent sleeper cells,” by Maryann Martinez, Daily Mail, June 24, 2025:

An Iranian army sniper and a suspected terrorist with ties to Hezbollah are among illegal migrants living in the US who have been arrested by ICE since Sunday.

Ribvar Karimi, who served as an Iranian Army sniper from 2018 to 2021, was arrested in rural Alabama, where he has been living with his American wife.

When ICE agents found in him in the town of Locust Fork Sunday, he had an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card, DHS claimed.

Karimi entered the country legally on a K-1 visa, for foreigners engaged to be married to Americans, in October under the Biden administration.

He married his bride, Morgan Gardener, in January this year. However, Karimi failed to adjust his status, making his presence in the US illegal.

In Minnesota, agents nabbed Mehran Makari Saheli, 56, a former member of off the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with admitted connections to Hezbollah, according to the Department of Homeland Security today….
