My thoughts on politics.
Two U.S. National Guard members were shot near D.C. this week in a targeted attack allegedly carried out by an Afghan national who entered the country during the chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan during the Biden administration. The suspect was part of a cohort of evacuees who weren’t fully vetted—a fact now admitted by …
The U.S. Department of Justice just made a major move to choke off terrorist financing, filing a forfeiture claim on nearly $2 million in cryptocurrency traced to Hamas. These weren’t random wallets. The digital funds were tied to Gaza-based money transfer companies and were hosted on major platforms like Binance and Tether. Hamas isn’t just …
Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender has announced new sanctions against Hamas- and PFLP-linked “charities” serving as a stark reminder that not all philanthropy is what it seems. For ethical nonprofits, transparency is not just best practice—it’s a survival strategy. When organizations exploit charitable fronts to fund terror, they damage global trust in humanitarian work. …
It’s been a year since the black day that our fellow Jews in Israel were brutalized in ways so inhumane, so cruel, that the brain refuses to process the information, though we know all too well that it happened. Most of the hostages are still in Gaza, and many of them are corpses, awaiting a …
Since October 7, Israelis have been conscious that war is fought not only in Gaza, with weapons but by Hamas undermining the psyche of the Israeli public with images and stories of the atrocities it committed and continues to commit.

President Biden has been lambasting Israel about the need to tamp down settler violence against Arabs. But there is no comparison between Arab violence and settler violence. A editorial in the Jerusalem Post, points this out by comparing the number of incidents emanating from either side, and the difference in attitude in these two populations: …
On October 7th, Hamas terrorists crossed into Israel and massacred 1,400 men, women, and children in the largest attack since the Holocaust. Roughly 240 civilians were taken to Gaza, and with the exception of 5 captives, remain in captivity. Since that time, a tide of antisemitism has swept the world. Jewish people are living in …
UN resolutions against Israel are a dime a dozen and also meaningless because they have no force of law. Resolutions are statements. This time, the resolution is a demand that Israel drop the sanctions the Netanyahu administration levied on the PA, due to terror. While not all of them voted in favor of the resolution, …
Israeli Arab Aslam Farouk has confessed to carrying out two Jerusalem bus bombings that occurred in short succession and killed two Israelis, Tadasa Tashume Ben Ma’ada and Arye Shechopek. Farouk is a supporter of ISIS who lives in Jerusalem, in Kafr Aqab. The confessed terrorist just completed his engineering studies, but also spent time online …
