Melanie Phillips: A new Israeli nation is arising from the smoke of battle
The shiva was an unbearably tragic, moving and yet inspirational experience.

Inspirational because here in microcosm was something of unexpected and priceless value that has emerged in Israel during this terrible year. It is no reflection on the grit and valour of those who fought in Israel’s previous wars to say that what’s now taking place is seen by many as a spiritual rebirth of the Jewish nation.

At the funeral and shiva, Avi’s widow Rachel showed the inner strength of this couple when she spoke up for three principles dear to her husband and demanded by his ultimate sacrifice.

The first was the need for unity, demonstrated by the family’s request that any politician who paid a shiva visit should be accompanied by someone with a different perspective.

The second was that Charedim should enlist in the IDF, a demand she made in public to a prominent rabbinic opponent of the Charedi draft when he visited the mourners.

The third, which encompassed the first two, was that the cause for which her husband had given his life was a war of good against evil.

This understanding lies at the core of the astounding spirit shown by countless IDF soldiers, secular as well as believers, over the past year.

These soldiers — many of them achingly young — have shown they aren’t fighting merely to defeat an enemy bent on their nation’s destruction and to recover the remaining Israeli hostages.

They understand they are up against an existential evil, the same barbaric depravity that has claimed millions of Jewish lives over the centuries.

This conscript army accordingly feels accompanied on the battlefield by the ghosts of those who were slaughtered in previous generations. These soldiers know they’re fighting for the moral and spiritual principles that have kept the Jewish people alive throughout unparalleled persecution.

It’s why they believe they will win this war, whatever the cost.

It’s why so many of them, secular as well as religious, have gone to war wearing tzitzit, the fringed garment intended to remind them of the Jews’ religious calling. They wear this Jewish identity like armour next to their hearts.

Avi Goldberg was a warrior rabbi fighting for the nation, the first for centuries to have taken this dual role so familiar to us from the Hebrew bible. He had the aura of a biblical figure fighting in what many have come to view as a biblical war. For it feels like a momentous new chapter is being written in Jewish history.

No-one is under any illusion that, after the war ends, Israel’s profound political dysfunctionality and social divisions will magically melt away. But a great new generation is arising from the smoke of the battlefield who will never again put up with the doublethink and confusion of a society that lost its ancient clarity of vision and paid a terrible price.

A spark has been rekindled by this war to forge the nation anew. The people of Israel are being bound together in fire, a nation fighting for civilisation against barbarism, for light against darkness, for life against death.

May the memory of all who have fallen in this seismic war be a blessing.
10 Lies about Israel (pdf)
Telling the truth about Israel is an urgent necessity after the October 7th massacre and the unexpected wave of antisemitism that we witnessed afterward. For many years Israel’s image has been polluted to the point of asphyxiation by a well-prepared set of lies that, over the decades, have become widespread – mindsets that fuel not only incitement to terrorism in the Arab world but also antisemitic hatred in the Western world.

The resulting ignorance is an abyss of shame. The young people who take to the streets against Israel know nothing but myths and lies, while ignoring even the most basic facts of Israel’s history and current events. In this little book, we offer our contribution to the truth facing the ten basic lies about Israel.


Khaled Abu Toameh: Hamas Must Be Defeated, Not Legitimized
Hamas should not be permitted to play any role in the Gaza Strip after the war. This would allow the terror group to rearm and regroup and prepare for another October 7-style attack on Israel.

By negotiating with Hamas about the future of the Gaza Strip, Abbas is legitimizing the Iran-backed terror group and sending a message to the Palestinians and the rest of the world that he sees no problem with dealing with murderers and terrorists who committed the most horrific crimes... As we have seen most recently in the Chinese Communist Party, Iran and Afghanistan, negotiating with terrorists and their equivalents simply does not work.

Ever since Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, thousands of Palestinians have been killed in wars they initiated with Israel. With the help of Europe, Qatar and Iran, Hamas transformed the Gaza Strip, home to two million Palestinians, into one of the largest bases for Islamist terrorism in the Middle East.

The assumption that Hamas would voluntarily give up its control of the Gaza Strip because of any unity agreement with Abbas is just laughable.

The Biden administration chose to turn a blind eye to Abbas's efforts to legitimize Hamas. The US offered it a lifeline. A terror group committed to the elimination of Israel should have no role in any Palestinian government -- not in the West Bank and certainly not in the Gaza Strip. Such a group should be completely destroyed militarily and politically, and not invited to join any Palestinian government.

As long as Iran's regime remains in place, torturing both its own people and others... there regrettably will be no peace. That is the only way to secure a truly peaceful future, not only for Israelis but for Palestinians and the Free World.
Footage of Hamas brutally interrogating Gazans uncovered
The IDF has discovered thousands of hours of surveillance footage documenting Hamas terrorists torturing Palestinian civilians at a military facility in northern Gaza, according to reporting from The Mail on Sunday.

The videos – found on computers seized from a compound in the Jabalia refugee camp – show disturbing scenes of systematic abuse between 2018 and 2020. The footage reveals prisoners, hooded and chained, being subjected to various forms of torture while their captors appear casual and indifferent.

"The IDF found these CCTV images in March. It took months to go through them all," a senior Israeli military source told The Mail.

In multiple recordings, prisoners are shown with sacks covering their heads, restrained to floors and ceilings. One sequence depicts a guard reclining in a chair while a prisoner hangs by his arms from the ceiling. Another shows a hooded prisoner in chains, barely able to touch the ground with one foot, before being choked by his captor.

Hamza Howidy, 27, who fled Gaza after being detained for protesting against Hamas, described his experience to The Mail. "They would torture you until you broke and say whatever it is they wanted," he said. "I could hear my fellow protesters scream in the next room."

According to Howidy, who escaped through the Egyptian border in September last year, one detainee was tortured three times weekly for three years. "You would never get a lawyer and your family would have no idea what happened to you. I was lucky because my family paid a price for me," he said.

Human rights organizations have long documented Hamas' abuse of civilians. Amnesty International published a 44-page report highlighting a campaign of abductions, torture, and killings following the 2014 conflict.

A former Israeli intelligence officer, identified as Guy C, told The Mail that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was eliminated by the IDF last month, was "obsessed with finding collaborators and held thousands against their will." The officer detailed brutal torture methods, saying, "They have been known to melt plastic over skin, electric cables on their body. Some are electrocuted on electricity pylons or dragged on a chain from a vehicle until they die."
Hamas Tortures Gazans
The same civilians that Hamas outspokenly claimed to be fighting for, are the same civilians being tortured in this video.

Hamas is not only Israel’s enemy—they’re Gaza’s enemy also.




Seth Frantzman: Qatar’s bait and switch game as mediator and host
DOHA’S HOSTING of Hamas was part of a wider global strategy. Qatar also positioned itself as a host of the Taliban so that it could be a key conduit between the US and the Taliban.

It also positioned itself as a mediator with Iran because of Qatar’s good ties with the Islamic Republic. As such, Doha became the broker of many deals in the region and globally.

Doha’s relationships have been destructive in the past. For instance, their hosting of the Taliban paved the way for their return in 2021, and the Taliban has now crushed women’s rights in Afghanistan.

It’s likely that having successfully brought the Taliban back to power, Qatar believed it could also bring Hamas to power in the West Bank.

Qatar does not seem to be a neutral mediator. It appears to often prefer more hardline groups, such as Hamas, the Taliban, or groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

However, Doha also knows how to be flexible. During the Gulf crisis, when Saudi Arabia and the other Arab states broke relations with Qatar, it weathered the storm until it could reconcile with Riyadh. It has also reconciled with Cairo.

Qatar is a keen ally of Turkey, and the two countries generally share interests. Both of them are officially allies of the West, but both are happy to work with the enemies of the West.

Both believe this independent policy benefits them more than merely being on the side of the West. Balancing the West and other countries, such as Iran, can make the “mediator” indispensable to both sides.

Now, reports indicate that rather than expelling Hamas, Doha may be threatening to end its role as a mediator.

This ostensibly presents Israel and the US with the worst of both worlds. Hamas could remain in Qatar, and Doha wouldn’t mediate.

The real story is likely more complex. Qatar has often hinted in the past that any pressure it receives from Washington or even criticism of its role in Congress could harm the hostage talks.

In essence, Doha positioned itself as a mediator by hosting Hamas and then tried to pressure countries into using it as a mediator.

This is not a neutral place to be when mediation is the business. It is not altruistic; it is purposely hosting Hamas so that it can become the mediator and so that countries have to go through Doha to get things done.

Reports that Hamas was asked to leave could be a trial balloon, and Doha’s decision to then claim it is ending its role as a mediator may be designed to send a message to Israel and the US that if there is any pressure on Doha, then Qatar will walk away, and the hostage talks and ceasefire talks will end.

This would then be used to pressure Israel by claiming no other countries would step in as mediators.

The US election on November 5 could also play a role here. Reports say that US President-elect Donald Trump wants the Gaza war to end.

Doha could be signaling to the incoming administration that it will not be threatened with pressuring Hamas to end the war and that any attempt to get Hamas out of Doha will result in a longer war.

Of course, the US and others could call this bluff. The overall goal of Qatar, though, is to keep the ball in its court and make sure that it is the go-to in the region whenever there is conflict.


Netanyahu: Trump and I ‘see eye-to-eye on Iranian threat’
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu “see eye-to-eye on the Iranian threat in all its aspects,” the Israeli premier said on Sunday following phone calls with the American.

“In recent days, I have spoken three times with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump,” the Israeli prime minister revealed in written remarks published by the Prime Minister’s Office on Sunday afternoon.

The “very good and important talks” were meant to “further enhance the steadfast bond” with Washington, Netanyahu said.

“We see eye-to-eye on the Iranian threat in all its aspects and on the dangers they reflect,” he said. “We also see the great opportunities facing Israel, in the area of peace and its expansion, and in other areas.”

Over the weekend, sources briefed on Trump’s early plans told The Wall Street Journal that he plans to renew his “maximum pressure” campaign on the Islamic Republic when he returns to the White House on Jan. 20, including issuing punishing sanctions and targeting its oil income.

The American sources said that the harsh measures against the regime will be part of an aggressive strategy to weaken Tehran’s support for its regional terrorist proxies and significantly harm its nuclear ambitions.

Former Trump administration officials said that his approach will likely be influenced by Iran’s attempts to assassinate him. The Department of Justice charged three men on Friday for their involvement in the plot.

During his presidential term from 2017 to 2021, Trump imposed sanctions on Iran for its pursuit of nukes and took the United States out of an agreement in 2018 with Tehran forged three years earlier by his predecessor, Barack Obama.


"President Trump Understands that the Chief Driver of Instability in Today's Middle East Is the Iranian Regime"
Brian Hook interviewed by Becky Anderson (CNN)
Brian Hook, who oversaw Iran policy at the State Department in Trump's first term, told CNN on Nov. 7: "I think it's quite significant that, the day after his historic win, he had conversations with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel and Egypt. And so these were day-one phone calls."

"If the United States, working with our Gulf partners and Israel, are not able to deter Iran and its proxies, you have war and violence and bloodshed in the Middle East. And if you take a policy of appeasement and accommodation with Iran and increase the daylight between America's partners, calling countries pariahs and lecturing them on how they're supposed to live, you lose deterrence. And if nobody believes that you have a credible threat of military force, then you're going to lose deterrence."

During his first term, President Trump "weakened Iran economically and militarily and weakened its proxies. And he deepened his alliances with Israel and Gulf partners. And if you do that, it's a winning formula."

"Israel has had enormous success against Hamas and Hizbullah, which are two terrorist proxies of Iran, Muslim Brotherhood offshoots, and part of the sort of extremist ideology that President Trump worked with leaders in Saudi Arabia and UAE and Egypt to combat. I have no reason to think that he won't do that again."

"President Trump understands that the chief driver of instability in today's Middle East is the Iranian regime....In my personal experience, I know that when we deter the Iranian regime, you have the countries...who are on the front lines of Iranian aggression doing everything they can to be a part of that deterring Iran."

When Jared Kushner "was essentially leading so much of the diplomacy in the Middle East, he put forward a political and economic vision for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians that many Arab governments officially said was a credible, good faith effort....I think so much of that work is still relevant today....That plan...had a path to a two-state solution."

"The Oct. 7th attack by Hamas has really not put anybody in much of a mood to be talking about this subject. Because, obviously, Hamas doesn't believe in a two-state solution, nor do they want a ceasefire. And after what Hamas did on Oct. 7th, there are many Israelis right now who are focused on other things, specifically keeping them safe from this kind of evil terrorism that they endured."
U.S. Republican Party Spokesperson: Trump Wants Israel's Wars to End Soon, with Decisive Victory
Republican Party spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko was asked by Israel's Channel 12 on Nov. 6 if President-elect Trump expects Israel to end the war against Hizbullah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.

Pipko responded, "I would say he expects them to end it by winning it, 100%; that's how he always talks about ending wars."

"He wants the war to end as soon as possible, like all rational people do, but he wants it to end with a decisive victory."
Exclusive: Kushner returns to advise Trump on administration
New details emerged Sunday morning about Donald Trump's developing administration. Israel Hayom has learned that Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has returned to closely assist the president-elect in preparations for building the new administration.

Kushner was among the key figures in Trump's first administration and led many of its successes. Since the 2020 election, he and his wife Ivanka, Trump's daughter, have avoided public and political activity, partly to provide their children with a more comfortable life.

Kushner broke his silence about a month ago, strongly criticizing the Biden administration for its approach toward Israel and its Middle East policy. According to a source familiar with the matter, he has now returned to active involvement in the president's circle to contribute his experience ahead of Trump's second term.

Meanwhile, Republican Party sources assess that Trump's rejection of Mike Pompeo increases the likelihood of Senator Marco Rubio being selected as the next Secretary of State.

Rubio, a Florida senator and strong supporter of Israel, has grown considerably closer to Trump in recent months and attended the victory event in West Palm Beach on Tuesday night. According to two sources, the chances of his selection as America's top diplomat are high.
Stefanik emerges as front-runner for UN ambassador post
Congressional sources indicate that Rep Elise Stefanik is poised to become America's next ambassador to the UN, marking a significant shift in the diplomatic posting. The Republican congresswoman has established herself as one of Israel's most vocal supporters in Washington.

Stefanik's national profile rose sharply following her masterful interrogation of university presidents who faced criticism for their handling of antisemitism on campus. A steadfast ally of former President Donald Trump, she has consistently advocated for stronger US-Israel relations.

During a watershed Congressional hearing in December 2023, as campus antisemitism surged in the wake of the Iron Swords War, Stefanik delivered a striking rebuke to presidents of elite universities. The hearing, which became a pivotal moment in the national conversation about antisemitism, saw Stefanik challenge the academic leaders over their refusal to categorically declare calls for Jewish genocide as violations of university policies. Her forceful questioning led to widespread calls for the presidents' resignations.

During her May visit to Israel, which included tours of communities targeted in the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack and an address to the Knesset, Stefanik articulated her position in an interview with Israel Hayom: "Israel must have complete operational flexibility to eliminate Hamas," she declared. "This is a just war – it was Hamas that committed terrorist atrocities against the Israeli people. So this moral equivocation, this equivocation on policy from the Biden administration, there is no room for it."

"I'm here in Israel to send a message that the American people stand strongly with Israel to eradicate Hamas to protect Israel's right to exist to protect the national security of Israel."
Trump 2.0: Pompeo, Haley will not be part of administration
President-elect Donald Trump, having secured a decisive return to the White House, began assembling his new team late Saturday, making his first official announcements about the composition of his emerging cabinet.

In a formal statement, Trump confirmed that neither Nikki Haley, his former UN Ambassador, nor Mike Pompeo, who served as Secretary of State from 2018 to 2021, will be returning to positions in the White House.

"I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country," the president-elect wrote in a post on Truth Social.
US leaves door open for December surprise at UN Security Council
In the waning days of Barack Obama’s presidency, Washington abstained from, rather than vetoing, a U.N. Security Council vote calling for an immediate halt of Israeli construction in eastern Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria. The resolution opened the door for boycotts of Israel, by calling on states “to distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967.”

JNS asked the U.S. State Department whether a December surprise—like Obama’s, which many saw as a betrayal of the Jewish state and the result of personal animosity between the then-U.S. president and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—might be in store for Israel at the Security Council.

“You should not read into this answer I’m about to give one way or the other,” Matthew Miller, the department spokesman, told JNS during a Thursday press briefing, in which he didn’t close the door on a potential high-profile snub of Israel.

“I can’t speculate on how we will vote on resolutions that are not yet even before the Security Council,” he told JNS. “Obviously, we will look at any resolution that comes up before the Security Council and make our judgments based on the interests of the United States, as we always do.”

The relationship between Netanyahu and outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden is also rife with tension. On Oct. 26, a journalist asked the president, after Marine One had arrived at Philadelphia International Airport, how worried he was that Trump “seems to be talking to Bibi Netanyahu quite frequently?”

“Well, you know, the—the criticism is Trump is talking with Bibi, but Trump works for—for—Trumps works—Bi-,” Biden said, per the official White House transcript. “Trump work—talks to Bibi and his good multi-billionaire friend talks to him a lot too. So, I guess they’re all three friends.”

“Are you not concerned at all that he seems to be doing diplomacy while he’s not really representing the United States?” the reporter followed up.

“Yes,” Biden said. “But I’m not surprised.”

The Biden administration has, thus far, protected Israel at the U.N. Security Council, and it has been willing to endure the slings and arrows of international criticism for wielding its veto power or threatening to do so, on several occasions in order to protect Israel and to block calls for the Jewish state to halt operations against Hamas in Gaza.
Seth Frantzman: Mustafa Barghouti: ‘Resistance’ succeeding in West Bank, Israel's war will fail
A Palestinian political leader’s recent interview with Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency reveals how the October 7 massacre has changed the calculations of Arab politicians in the West Bank.

It also reveals the larger support that Iran and its proxies have among Palestinians – at least on the surface.

Tasnim headlined the interview, “Barghouti: Iran’s missile shows Israel’s legend is a lie.” The goal of the interview was to showcase how the Palestinians now embrace the “resistance” and Iran’s role.

While this is the Iranian agenda, Barghouti appeared to embrace it wholeheartedly.

The interview and its perspective have implications for the future in the West Bank. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is aging, and his era may come to an end in the coming years.

This dovetails with the incoming Trump administration’s four years in office, and it is worth paying attention to.

Barghouti, who was born in 1954 and is a physician and an activist, is the leader of the Palestinian National Initiative (PNI).

In the past, he was seen as a politician committed to nonviolence. He ran for president of the PA against Abbas in 2005 and received 20% of the vote.

Barghouti is very knowledgeable and follows world events closely. He also receives many guests.

In an interview with The Intercept this past February, he said: “We are in good touch with the many leaders in the region, and Arab leaders as well as European leaders, many of them come and visit us. Most recently, I had meetings with the prime minister of Holland, the foreign minister of Holland, the deputy prime minister of Luxembourg, and many others. And we are in touch with most European countries.”
Raw data: What the American public thinks of culture war issues
How big an impact did culture war issues have on Donald Trump winning the election? Here is recent public polling on a variety of hot button issues:

On the old warhorses of guns and abortion, liberals have long held an edge. Large majorities say abortion should be generally legal vs. generally illegal, and voting on abortion initiatives in the states confirms this.

But liberals are underwater practically everywhere else. Small majorities are uncomfortable with they/them pronouns, and building a wall along the border with Mexico has gotten more popular. It's now a majority view.

Other issues have swung harder in the conservative direction. Large majorities favor tougher policing, even among Black voters. Ditto for opposition to affirmative action. Trans issues are more nuanced: large majorities support anti-discrimination laws for trans people, but similarly large majorities oppose both the use of puberty blockers among teens and biological boys competing in girls' sports.

Views of the Middle East are complicated, but on the straightforward question of Israel vs. Hamas, Americans favor Israel by a huge margin. They also approve of Israel's bombing of Lebanon.


Trump wins Dearborn, Dearborn Heights amid fury over Gaza, Lebanon wars
Republican Donald Trump won the presidential vote in the cities of Dearborn and Dearborn Heights in Tuesday's election on his way to winning Michigan after the former president courted voters in Metro Detroit's traditionally Democratic Arab American and Muslim communities.

Trump won Dearborn, the nation’s largest Arab-majority city, 42.5%-36% over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, or a margin of more than 6 percentage points. Green Party nominee Jill Stein, who selected a Muslim American running mate, pulled over 18% of the vote in Dearborn, according to the city's unofficial results.

Those community members who did not support Trump linked the former president's reelection to a "failure of Democratic leadership" that stopped listening to the community's concerns that go beyond the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Trump also secured 44% of the vote to Harris' 38% in Dearborn Heights, according to the city's unofficial results, where Mayor Bill Bazzi last month endorsed the Republican. Bazzi spoke at Trump campaign rallies across the state in the final days of the election. Stein pulled about 15% in Dearborn Heights.

“I’m super excited that we have a change in an administration that didn’t care about nobody,” said Bazzi, who grew up in Dearborn, has cousins there and estimated he talked to 1,000 people in recent weeks about voting for Trump.

“We changed a lot of votes even from Jill Stein — they shifted from Green to Trump,” Bazzi said Wednesday.

Voters in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights found Trump more genuinely interested in hearing their grievances about Israel’s war in Gaza than Harris or Democratic President Joe Biden, neither of whom made a publicly known visit to Dearborn during the presidential campaign, he said.

Trump’s decision to visit Dearborn on Friday, ahead of the final weekend of early voting, was “crucial” to his success in both cities, the Dearborn Heights mayor said.

“They don’t want to hear what we have to say,” said Bazzi, a retired Marine and former Ford Motor Co. engineer. “But President Trump wanted to know our thoughts.”
Melanie Phillips: Pogrom in Amsterdam
Violent attacks on Jews have become more and more frequent. Yet last month, Dutch police officers said they would refuse to guard Jewish institutions because of “moral objections” to Israel.

The Netherlands is hardly alone in hosting a seething frenzy of Jew-hatred. Antisemitic attacks have been rising in Europe and America for years and are now running at epidemic levels.

In Britain, antisemitism has become normalised. The media led by the BBC continues to pump out inflammatory demonisation of Israel based on lies and distortions straight from the psychotic Palestinian playbook. Politicians parrot it. The universities label this murderous propaganda “scholarship” and “education,” and turn a blind eye to the intimidation of Jewish students on campus.

This is by no means a threat only to Jews. For decades, a blind eye has been turned to Islamist incitement in the west and against the west. In Britain, undercover recordings have revealed that imams are radicalising Muslims by spreading hatred and calls to jihad against Christians and others as well as calling for the genocide of the Jews.

Yet nothing is ever said about this. Any criticism of the Muslim world is denounced as “Islamophobia” (and please let’s not forget that this is “Islamophobia month”). Immigration policies are admitting into the country large numbers of people from countries where the majority hate Jews, Christians and others “infidels” and want to kill them. Anyone who questions this as simply insane — as I did as long ago as 2006 — is denounced as “Islamophobic”. The political and administrative class — including the intelligence service — refuses to acknowledge that violence in the name of Islam has anything to do with the religion of Islam.

Yes, many Muslims have nothing to do with extremism and pose no threat to anyone. But has anyone yet heard any institutional denunciation of the Amsterdam pogrom as a stain upon Islam that must be addressed uttered from within the Islamic world?

Eli Beer is president of United Hatzalah, Israel’s volunteer medical responder agency. After what happened in Amsterdam, Beer observed:
This is happening in the heart of Europe, and it’s only the beginning.

Is anyone in authority yet listening?
Ruthie Blum: The Amsterdam pogrom and antisemitism in Biden’s America
Trump may not have spoken up about the Islamist immigrant hooligans in Holland, but he’s been unequivocal in his promise to prevent similar future calamities at home.

At an event last month in Florida commemorating the Oct. 7 massacre, he declared: “I will defend our American-Jewish population. I will protect your communities, your schools, your places of worship and your values. We will remove the jihadist sympathizers and Jew-haters. We’re going to remove the Jew-haters who do nothing to help our country; they only want to destroy [it].”

Remarks like these aren’t responsible for the widespread support he enjoys in Israel, however. No, that’s something he earned for policies he implemented when in the Oval Office before being replaced by Biden on Jan. 20, 2017.

The following is a partial list of his administration’s accomplishments, which in the Jewish state are only dismissed, if not opposed, by the shrinking elitist echo chamber of the chattering classes:

It recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, then vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution denouncing the move and transferred the U.S. embassy there from Tel Aviv. It canceled the 2015 nuclear deal with the Iranian regime. It blocked a UNSC statement calling for an independent investigation into the deaths of Palestinians along the Israel-Gaza border, caused during violent weekly protests spurred and funded by Hamas. This is because it accepted Israel’s insistence that the killings had been carried out in self-defense.

It vetoed a UNSC resolution calling for “international protection” for Palestinian civilians—due to the understanding that the only Palestinian “civilians” in danger were those attacking Israelis with firebombs, knives, rocks and rockets.

It confirmed that it would cease UNRWA funding over the body’s anti-Israel activities and perpetuation of a false refugee problem. It closed the Palestine Liberation Organization mission in Washington and subsequently revoked the visas of the PLO envoy and his family members, forcing them to leave the United States. It cut $10 million of funding for bogus “conflict resolution” programs aimed at bringing about reconciliation between Fatah in the West Bank and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and for Jews and Arabs in Israel.

In its annual global human-rights report, its State Department replaced the word “occupied” with “Israeli-controlled” in its reference to the Golan Heights (and the West Bank). The significance of this change in language became apparent when Trump signed a presidential proclamation recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan and published an official map reflecting the new reality.

Team Trump also designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization. For all of the above and more, most Israeli Jews, unlike their American counterparts, have faith in the president-elect’s vow to combat antisemitism—not just spout empty words about it.
Jonathan Tobin: The Amsterdam pogrom is what happens when the world tolerates antisemitism
The red-green alliance
Just as troubling was the way advocates for Islamist politics were able to ally themselves with European leftists. Though their cultural attitudes were the opposite of what secular Europeans believed in, they did have something very important in common: hatred for Israel and prejudice against Jews.

In this way, a bizarre red-green alliance of disparate groups that shared an anti-Zionist agenda became a staple of Western European politics. And, as we’ve seen in countries like France, Sweden and now Holland, this creates an atmosphere where “criticism” of Israel quickly morphed into support for the destruction of the Jewish state, as well as tolerance for antisemitic agitation aimed at intimidating and silencing Jews. As Douglas Murray noted in his prescient 2017 book The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam, the introduction of a large Muslim population into the continent whose values were incompatible with those of secular Europe led to a dynamic in which liberals found themselves unable to muster the will to defend their beliefs, lest they be labeled as racists.

While Western European leaders are always willing to denounce violence like the “Jew-hunting” in Amsterdam when it becomes too egregious to ignore or downplay, they are largely responsible for setting these events in motion. They did this, in part, by unthinkingly opening up their nations to a flood of people who had no desire to give up attitudes that Europe had supposedly left behind during the Enlightenment. It was also a function of their willingness to normalize the presence of intolerant Islamists who shared their resentment of Zionism, Israel and the Jews with many in mainstream European political parties.

In essence, every college with an anti-Israel encampment or a campus culture where pro-Israel Jews find themselves ostracized and targeted by faculty and students is an example of how pogroms like that in Amsterdam become a possibility.

The takeover of American education by those advocating for toxic Marxist myths like critical race theory and intersectionality, which falsely label Jews and Israel as “white” oppressors who are always in the wrong and deserve whatever violence is directed at them, has led to the indoctrination of a generation that sees the barbaric atrocities of Oct. 7 as justified “resistance.”

In this way, the chattering classes in the United States have, like their European counterparts, essentially normalized antisemitic discourse about Jews and Israel under the guise of anti-Zionism and critiques of Israel. It was no surprise that three elite university presidents were willing to tell Congress last December that it depended on “the context” as to whether advocacy for the genocide of Jews broke the rules of their institutions. If they feared the campus mobs of Israel-haters more than being labeled as soft on antisemitism, it was because current intellectual fashion has normalized hatred for Israel and the Jews.

It is a short leap from that position to one in which violence against Jews becomes not merely imaginable but inevitable.

There is a difference between America and Western Europe. The sort of official government-backed antisemitism that was once commonplace in Europe has not taken root in the United States. What’s more, the large majority of Americans support Israel and oppose antisemitism. As the recently concluded presidential election shows, voters also rejected woke ideology and elected a man who was pledged to fight its spread.
Stephen Pollard: The only issue has been when and where the first mob attack on Jews would happen
One of the most obvious lessons from history is that when verbal and written Jew hate is normalised, violence always follows. Always.

And it is somehow appropriate, albeit grotesquely so, that the first European pogrom of 2024 (last October an antisemitic mob stormed an airport in Dagestan airport hunting for Jews after a plane landed from Tel Aviv) should be in the country that houses the ICC and the ICJ, which are seeking to punish the Jewish state for having the temerity to defend itself against the mass slaughter of Jews.

It was Amsterdam yesterday. Where next? Take your pick from anywhere where the authorities and politicians offer the trite incantation “Never again”. It’s become one of the golden rules of the public square that those two words (which really mean “Always again: here, now”) are only ever uttered after assorted Jew haters have been given licence to spread their poison more or less as they see fit. And before the same Jew haters are allowed to spread the same poison again.

Here in the UK the police do next to nothing as tens of thousands are allowed their regular Jew hate-fest, marching alongside openly antisemitic banners and chanting Jew hate slogans. Indeed, it seems as if more often or not it is those who expose the antisemites whose collar is felt, rather than the Jew haters, who are treated as if they are performing some sort of revered democratic ritual when they march with their “anti-Zionist” (is there anyone who still falls for that one?) banners.

It is all of a piece. Hate preachers are allowed to enter and roam the country at will. The odd one or two are banned, but it’s like pushing water uphill, so blasé are the authorities about who is actually let in. They are welcomed on campus and into mosques as if they are prized visitors of whose presence we should be proud as a nation.

“Globalise the intifada”, they all demand. Well, it is indeed globalised – and last night’s pogrom was just one form of that globalisation. More – and, I am sure, worse – is coming, because it always does when the authorities let it. All of the past year’s acceleration in Jew hate has been entirely predictable. As is what comes next.
Dave Rich: A warning from Amsterdam
There has been much said and written about the violence in Amsterdam before and after the football match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax this week, and it’s been interesting, if rather odd, to watch my two worlds of football and antisemitism come together. I’ve been a match-going Man United fan all my life - I’m even writing this on the train to today’s game - which means I’ve seen a lot of football violence, thuggery and generally bad behaviour over the decades. I get the impression a lot of the people opining on Amsterdam can’t necessarily say the same. I may be doing him a disservice, but I doubt Owen Jones - who has issued dozens of tweets and a YouTube video about Amsterdam - has ever been kettled outside Elland Road or Upton Park for his own safety while police tried to disperse mobs of waiting home fans. Watching football nowadays is a lot safer than it was in the 80s and 90s, but still: there are things that happened in Amsterdam that are familiar enough, and others that were totally out of the ordinary.

First, the familiar. Football fans acting up on European aways and getting put in their place by home fans is as old as it gets. And some of the behaviour seen from Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, mainly the day before the match, was truly reprehensible. Pulling down a Palestinian flag was insulting; singing racist songs about Arabs, indefensible. They are not angels, and it is well known that Israeli football has a racism problem in the fanbase of certain clubs.

(Incidentally, some years ago I was told by a senior figure at Kick It Out, the UK’s main football anti-discrimination body, that a proposed trip to advise their counterparts in Israeli football was blocked at the highest level of KIO because of a personal objection to Israel. I’m pleased to say that the current leadership of KIO is much more committed to tackling antisemitism and they now have probably the most extensive programme of antisemitism awareness training of any civil society campaign group).

Anyway, the behaviour of some Maccabi Tel Aviv fans was appalling, but hardly unique. We’ve seen similar from lots of fans of lots of clubs across Europe over the years. What is unusual though - I’m struggling to think of another example anywhere - is for this to be followed by such an extensive, coordinated series of violent ambushes 24 hours after the initial flashpoints, carried out not by rival hooligans from the home club but by local residents, conducted in explicitly racist terms.

Watching some of the videos and reading the accounts of people caught up in the violence, it seems clear that the targets were any and all Maccabi fans, not just men of a certain age who are often considered fair game, or consenting adults, in the unwritten rules of football hooliganism; and anyone who might be mistaken for an Israeli or a Jew, or linked to them in any way. One British man was beaten up by a gang who asked if he was Jewish, and even demanded to see his passport to check, before setting on him because he had “helped a Jew” (he tried to prevent them from kicking another fan who was lying in the gutter having been beaten unconscious).

Dutch police are investigating reports that local taxi drivers used fare apps to identify and locate Israelis. Dutch media is reporting that the violence was planned well in advance on Telegram, before any of the flashpoints now being cited as provocations for the violence even occurred.

This kind of thing, on such a scale, well away from the stadium and -most crucially of all - not involving fans of the home team, just doesn’t happen normally, and the people essentially arguing this is a case of one group of football hooligans provoking a response from rival fans and getting what they deserved are either ignorant or disingenuous.
Holocaust survivor calls vicious mob attack on Jews in Amsterdam a ‘modern-day kristallnacht’
The vicious attack on Jews following a soccer match in Amsterdam left one New Yorker who fled the Dutch city as a child to escape the Holocaust “in shock.”

“It’s like a modern-day Kristallnacht,” railed Lore Baer, an Amsterdam native who was born three months before the infamous “Night of Broken Glass” on November 9, 1938 that left scores of Jews beaten.

“This is history repeating itself. It’s really haunting,” the 86-year-old Upper West Sider told The Post on Friday, ahead of the 86th anniversary of the terrifying night.

The unprovoked attack on Israeli soccer fans in town to see their Maccabi Tel Aviv team Thursday is being called a “classic pogrom.”

Jewish men, women and children were rammed by cars, beaten on the street, stabbed, and thrown into canals by Arabic-speaking mobs, according to reports.

The king of the Netherlands said on Friday, “We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again.”

Police “inaction” enabled it to continue for hours, according to watchdogs.

“They told the Israelis to go into the hotels and not leave,” StandWithUs Netherlands executive director Yahly Bar-Lev told The Post, adding that Jewish victims reportedly “didn’t feel safe with the local police.”

The shocking attack on Jews more than eight decades after the Holocaust feels “very close to home” for Baer, who lived in Amsterdam until age 5, when she was whisked away to wait out the war with a Gentile family.

“That saved my life,” said the multimedia artist.


Can European sports events truly protect Israeli, Jewish fans? Are they trying to?
Sports clubs, leagues, and associations across Israel have put out statements of support and against antisemitism, including some of Maccabi’s archrivals, because they all know that each and every one of them and their fan bases are targets when playing in European competitions.

However, the biggest issue in these competitions happens to be UEFA.

Earlier in the week, Paris Saint-Germain fans unfurled a massive Free Palestine banner with a picture of a masked terrorist at their Champions League game against Atletico Madrid, and UEFA had no issue with it and will not levy any punishment or fine on the club.

PSG happens to be owned by Qatar Sports Investment, the same country that has been harboring Hamas terrorists and enemies of Israel.

Will it be safe for Jews and Israelis to attend the match this week, even if the local authorities guarantee their safety?

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar traveled to Holland to meet his counterpart, ensure that Israelis would be able to leave the country, and understand how such a horrific event took place in a city such as Amsterdam.

This is not what the Maccabi fans bargained for when they went to see a sporting event abroad – not by any stretch.

But have they heard from Ajax? Have they heard from UEFA? How about the local police and politicians in Holland?They will all look to swallow their tongues, try and push the blame onto others while seeing it as a complicated issue because Jews are involved.
JPost Editorial: Netherlands has opportunity to show Europe how to deal with violent antisemitism
The Dutch Jewish community has a long and storied history dating back hundreds of years, but what will Dutch Jews be thinking now? How can their safety be guaranteed? Where in Europe will Jews feel safe?

Since October 7, the open violence against Jews and the rise in antisemitism have been more than alarming. That this attack took place merely hours before the anniversary of Kristallnacht has not been lost on anyone. Europe is now facing a crisis that, in a matter of years, could leave it devoid of Jews.

Dutch politician Geert Wilders posted on X on Friday morning, “Looks like a Jew hunt in the streets of Amsterdam. Arrest and deport the multicultural scum that attacked Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters in our streets. Ashamed that this can happen in The Netherlands. Unacceptable.”

Almost exactly a year ago, Wilder’s Party for Freedom won 37 seats in the Dutch general election, making it the largest one in the country – a powerful voice with a powerful support base.

Now, it is time for the Dutch to collectively show that they will not accept “Jew hunting” or allow the growing rise of Islamism in the country to affect the Jewish community. They must keep the Jewish community safe.

Europe must address this escalating crisis with a coordinated and tangible response. This isn’t the time for hollow condemnations or one-off statements of support – Jewish communities need clear, actionable policies that safeguard their safety and dignity.

By implementing stricter hate crime legislation and investing in community security, Europe can begin to reverse the tide of violence and secure a future where Jews feel safe in the countries they call home.

Next Thursday, the Israeli national team travels to Paris for an international match against France. Last week, fans of Paris St-Germain, one of France’s largest soccer clubs, unfurled a banner during a match reading “Free Palestine.” Any Israeli fans would be advised to stay well away.

The Netherlands has an opportunity now to show Europe how to deal with open and violent antisemitism – something countries such as the UK and France have failed to do since last October. They should grab that opportunity before there are no Jews left.

History will not look kindly on those who allowed this darkness to resurface unchallenged.

Europe must decide now whether it will allow another chapter of Jewish persecution to be written within its borders. For today’s leaders, the choice is stark: take a stand to secure a safer future for Jews – or risk being remembered as the generation that let them slip away once more.
French MP defends attacks on Israelis, claims they 'supported genocide'
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has reported France Insoumise MP Marie Mesmeur to the Paris Prosecutor after she made a post on X/Twitter condoning Thursday’s violent attacks on Israelis in Amsterdam.

In the original post, made on November 8, Mesmeur wrote, “These people here were not lynched because they were Jewish, but instead because they were racist and supported a genocide.”

This came after multiple Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were beaten, thrown into canals, chased with knives, and targeted by attackers in vehicles on Thursday night.

Mesmeur’s comments caused outrage among politicians and Jewish groups, with the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism accusing Mesmeur of justifying “pogromist violence.”

Mesmeur, who is a deputy of the French National Assembly, subsequently took to social media to post a statement condemning the “vile campaign of harassment and insults from far-right networks” she claimed to have been subjected to as a result of the post.

However, France’s left wing also condemned Mesmeur’s words. Socialist president of the Occitania region, Carole Delga, said, “Each of your words damages the [French] Republic a little more. This endorsement of violence and antisemitism is destructive.”

Similar sentiments were echoed by Senator Laurence Rossignol, who said, “When we confuse terrorism and resistance, mass rapes and heroism, it’s no wonder we end up justifying lynching!”

Loïg Chesnais-Girard, the president of the Regional Council of Brittany, said, “To justify a lynching is to endorse the methods of those you claim to be fighting. Against racism and antisemitism, the Republic must never respond with violence!”

Later on Saturday evening, Minister Retailleau said he had reported the comments to the Paris Prosecutor under Article 40 of the Criminal Code on account of Mesmeur condoning a crime.


Amsterdam taxi drivers accused of using social media to coordinate attacks on Israeli football fans
Some of the violent thugs who attacked Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam were Dutch-Arab taxi drivers who used messaging apps to plan the attack, reports claim.

Chairman of the Maccabi World Union, Amir Peled, told New York-based activist Lizzy Savetsky that the attackers “used the Uber network… to organise themselves, they made Uber WhatsApp groups and most of the attackers belonged to the Uber drivers' network.”

“It was well organised, it went over the Uber network,” he added.

Ajax YouTube fan channel "Bender" witnessed “around a hundred taxis here, all the way around the corner, all of them honking and getting out of the car.”

An Uber spokesperson tweeted saying they were “shocked to hear of this abhorrent violence” and were supporting Dutch authorities with their investigation.

They claimed, “there were no reported incidents of violence or antisemitism on the Uber app,” and did not respond to allegations that drivers perpetrated physical violence.

But after Londoner, Aaron, 33, was badly beaten and taken to hospital, he claimed his Uber driver refused to take him back to his hotel. “The Uber drivers seemed involved,” he told the Times. “They were filming us. There must have been a lot of communication, the gangs knew where people were going, they knew where to find them.”

Chanan Hertzberger, the chairman of the Central Jewish Council in the Netherlands, said, “There even seems to be app traffic that shows that they meticulously prepared this pogrom, because that is what it was,” he said. “They moved in groups, cornering their targets.”

The JC has seen Telegram and WhatsApp group chats where the attackers allegedly planned the assault the day before the match.

“Tomorrow after the match at night part 2 Jew Hunt”, read one message in a WhatsApp group titled Buurthuis Palestine. Buurthuis is a Dutch word for a neighbourhood community centre.

People on one group chat were encouraged to bring fireworks – a member posted: “Who can sort fireworks?” adding, “We need a lot of fireworks”.


Dozens arrested at illegal anti-Israel protest in Amsterdam
Police in Amsterdam on Sunday arrested several dozen people at an unauthorized anti-Israel protest rally at a square where, days earlier, Muslims assaulted Israeli soccer fans.

The arrests at Dam Square followed a temporary municipal ban on the anti-Israel demonstrations that regularly take place there. The ban followed the coordinated assault on Thursday by at least 100 Muslim men on fans of Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team who were leaving a match against the local Ajax team.

Five Israelis were moderately wounded and another 20 suffered light injuries. Some 2,000 people left the Netherlands for Israel over the weekend in eight emergency flights organized by El Al, Israel’s flag carrier airline. The assaults, which Israeli President Isaac Herzog called a “pogrom,” shocked many in Israel and beyond.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted in a filmed address how the event coincided with annual anniversary of the Kristallnacht pogroms that happened throughout the Third Reich on Nov. 9-10, 1938.

“Unfortunately, we have seen in recent days images that are reminiscent of that night. On the streets of Amsterdam, antisemitic perpetrators assaulted Jews, Israeli citizens, only because they are Jewish,” Netanyahu said. But, he added, “there’s a difference between that night and our times: Now we have our own state, government and army. We have the ability, will and determination to defend ourselves and also to demand others fulfill their duties.”

Netanyahu said he had called his Dutch counterpart, Dick Schoof, and demanded to bring the perpetrators to justice and protect the local Jewish community. Schoof said he was “ashamed” of the assaults of Nov. 8, Netanyahu said.

In the Netherlands, the assaults were widely seen as part of the immigration crisis that has divided locals for decades, and especially following the entry of hundreds of thousands of people to that country and elsewhere in Europe after 2011. In that year, the Syrian civil war erupted, triggering the arrival of millions from the Middle East to Europe, many at the invitation of the German government.

Geert Wilders, the head of Netherlands largest party and senior coalition partner, called to deport the perpetrators, lamenting on X that “we have become the Gaza of Europe.”

Israeli journalists covering the aftermath of the assaults were intimidated by locals over the weekend, they said. Kan journalists Michal Reshef and Micah Rizov said that youths had followed them around in Amsterdam after they had filmed a segment there. The youths shouted “Free Palestine” until police pushed them away, they said.


‘Free Palestine’ stickers backed with razor blades found outside Amsterdam
Only days after Israeli soccer fans were attacked in Holland’s capital city, “Free Palestine” stickers with hidden razor blades were found across Amsterdam, Dutch news De Telefraaf reported on Saturday night, citing police.

A number of the stickers were found outside the city’s Holocaust Museum, but police are unsure how many may be spread across the city.

The hidden blades underneath the stickers prevent them from being safely removed, cutting individuals who attempt to do so.

On Thursday night, Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were assaulted, chased, and robbed in the streets of Amsterdam following a match with Ajax - in what perpetrators described in internal communications as a ‘Jew hunt.’

Labeled a ‘pogrom’ by international media, the attacks fell only days before the anniversary of Kristallnacht (the night of broken glass - when Jewish buildings, synagogues, and businesses were smashed.)

The attacks saw Israel send rare flights on Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, to collect Israeli nationals from the city.
The real Nazis stand up
Thirteen months of unchecked lies, incitement, and hate is how. The moment the October 7 massacre was committed, an open season on Jews was declared around the world. Just a month after the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, almost exactly one year ago, Dutch-Jewish watchdog Documentation on Israel (CIDI) reported an 800% increase in antisemitic incidents in Holland.

In October, 2023, antisemitic mobs in Sydney chanted “Where’s the Jews?” Last night, the Nazis found the Jews they were looking for in Amsterdam.

Holland’s failure to prevent a pogrom in Amsterdam is the product of over a year of lies and hate that led to police officers refusing to so much as stand guard outside Amsterdam’s Holocaust museum, as was revealed a month ago. One victim has reported that it took police three hours to arrive after Israelis who fled to the Marriot Hotel called them for help.

Three hours. In the heart of Amsterdam. Perhaps it’s not surprising for a police force whose officers publicly declare that they do not see Jews as worth protecting.

All the false accusations of genocide and other crimes in Gaza have led to this. Indeed, their only purpose beyond saving Hamas is to allow for more October 7s and to justify pogroms and attacks on Jews like this one.

Every anti-Israel encampment on college campuses, all the shouts of “genocide” at Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, every chant of “death to Israel” and “death to America” has been in preparation for moments like this. This is what the Columbia University protesters who called for Hamas to murder Jewish students and for “10,000 October 7s” want. This is the deepest, most-cherished dream of those who chant “From the River to the Sea.”

This is what Chuck Schumer was defending when he told Columbia administrators not to be concerned with the Nazis who took over their campus. If these Nazis commit a similar pogrom in the US, that Jewish blood will be on Schumer’s head.

The civilized world, from Europe to Australia to the US, must stand up to the re-emergence of the Nazi attempts to wipe out the Jewish people. Leaders must stop appeasing these monsters and start acting like Jews have a right to live.

The real Nazis have stepped up and shown themselves. Will anyone stand up to them?
Jewish-American billionaire pulls firms from Amsterdam
Jewish-American billionaire Bill Ackman announced Friday he will withdraw his business operations from Amsterdam, responding to the violent assault on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans that occurred in the city Thursday night.

Ackman, who founded and leads Pershing Square Capital Management, revealed plans to shift the trading of Pershing Square Holdings, his public investment vehicle, from the Amsterdam Stock Exchange to London's financial hub.

The hedge fund manager noted that over 90% of the company's trading volume already occurs in London. "Concentrating the listing on one exchange, and leaving a jurisdiction that fails to protect its tourists and minority populations combine both good business and moral principles," Ackman stated. "We can also save money and improve liquidity for shareholders to boot," he added, highlighting the strategic benefits of the decision.

In a parallel move, Ackman, who sits on the board of Universal Music Group (UMG), disclosed ongoing negotiations to relocate the company from Amsterdam to the US. "Pershing Square has a contractual right to cause UMG to be listed in the US. We will exercise this right and achieve a US listing for UMG no later than some time next year," he announced.

The relocation would position UMG for inclusion in the S&P 500 and other major US indices. "UMG trades at a large discount to its intrinsic value with limited liquidity… We are going to fix this. Now is a good and appropriate time to do so," Ackman emphasized.

The billionaire's strategic shifts follow attacks on Israeli soccer team Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters at multiple locations throughout Amsterdam after their match with Ajax. The Israeli fans faced violent assaults from dozens of attackers, some concealed behind masks and bearing Palestinian flags, in what security officials described as a coordinated ambush.


BBC News website coverage of attacks on Israelis in Amsterdam
BBC News website coverage of attacks on Israeli football fans in Amsterdam following a match on the night of November 7th commenced with a report initially published on its ‘Netherlands’ page on the morning of November 8th.

Originally headlined “Israel sends rescue planes after clashes in Amsterdam”, that report by BBC News Digital Europe editor Paul Kirby was amended eighteen times in the hours that followed, with a subsequent headline reading “Israeli football fans attacked in Amsterdam, officials say” and a photo caption telling readers that “Police said it was unclear who was involved in the unrest as they were wearing dark clothing”.

The current version of that report – also appearing on the website’s ‘Middle East’ page – is titled “We must not turn blind eye to antisemitism, says Dutch king after attacks on Israeli football fans”. The caption to a video at the top of the report also uses the symmetry implying term “clashes” – “Clashes in Amsterdam as Maccabi Tel Aviv play Ajax” – and viewers of the video are told that “Football and politics clash on the streets of Amsterdam”.
Sky News deletes report on Amsterdam attack after accusation of anti-Israel bias
Sky News has retracted and re-edited a report on the attack on Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters in Amsterdam, following accusations of anti-Israel bias.

The initial report, posted on the network’s social media, depicted Israeli fans as instigators, alleging they had engaged in racist chants and noting that “Israeli far-right ultras are notorious for their racism and physical violence.”

The network subsequently deleted the video, issuing a new version with the contentious allegations of racism and physical violence removed. In an editor’s note, Sky News explained, “This is a re-edit of a previous video which didn’t meet Sky News’ standards for balance and impartiality.”

The initial report, titled “Violence in Amsterdam: What We Know So Far,” extensively covered the alleged actions of Israeli fans, presenting scenes of hooliganism. Clips showed Israeli supporters removing Palestinian flags and chanting slogans, yet stated that footage of violence against the Israeli fans “could not be verified.”


How Israel's Veteran Civilians Returned to Battle
In the aftermath of Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, hundreds of Israelis over age 45, many decades past their military service, voluntarily returned to uniform to defend their nation in its hour of need.

The Har Zion 0710 Unit "was established overnight, with hundreds of people bringing their specialized all-terrain vehicles to the Gaza envelope area to assist in evacuating the wounded and fallen from the communities and the Nova festival site," Tamar Rein Fishburn, a member of the unit's command staff, explained.

"We've developed capabilities for rapid deployment that can save lives....Our teams can access areas conventional military vehicles can't reach, allowing us to transport combat forces, facilitate rescue operations, and move essential equipment through challenging terrain."

Beyond emergency response, the unit now supports humanitarian aid convoys and provides crucial mobility support across various operating theaters.

The Har Zion Unit exemplifies Israel's civilian response to crisis, where age becomes irrelevant in the face of national need.

When faced with existential threats, the distinction between civilian and soldier often blurs in Israeli society, replaced by a simple imperative to serve.
Netanyahu confirms Israel behind Hezbollah pager blasts
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed for the first time on Sunday that Jerusalem carried out the Sept. 17-18 pager attacks in Lebanon, which wounded thousands of Hezbollah terrorists.

“There were senior officials in the defense establishment and the political echelon in charge of them who opposed the pager operation, as well as [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah’s elimination,” Netanyahu told fellow ministers at the weekly Cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem.

“When I wanted to eliminate Nasrallah, [have the IDF] enter [Gaza’s Hamas stronghold] Rafah and other things, there were those who opposed it in the Cabinet,” the prime minister added.

Thousands of pagers exploded on Sept. 17 across Hezbollah‘s terrorist strongholds in Lebanon. A day later, hundreds of Hezbollah walkie-talkies exploded. The attacks killed 39 people and injured some 3,000.

Jerusalem for weeks declined to comment on the pager blasts—the first wave of which came hours after the Israeli Cabinet added the return of displaced northern residents to their homes to the country’s war goals.

Each of the Hezbollah communication devices that exploded was individually detonated, with Israeli intelligence operatives knowing exactly which terrorist was being targeted, his location and whether others were in close proximity, according to reports in Israeli media.
IDF chief: 2,000 terrorists killed, captured in Jabalia
One thousand Hamas terrorists have been killed and another thousand captured in Jabalia over the past three weeks, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said on Friday.

Speaking during a situational assessment in the northern Gaza city, Halevi said it was a “significant achievement that deals Hamas a severe blow.”

The IDF launched a major operation in the city in early October, following indications of a Hamas resurgence there.

Israel, said Halevi, was “sending Hamas a very clear message: The IDF does not tire. The more we fight, the stronger we become, gaining more experience, capabilities, professionalism, values and determination. We are progressing with great intensity.”

The IDF’s efforts in Gaza were sending a message to the entire Middle East, he continued.

“We are providing the residents near the northern Gaza border with greater security and creating conditions for this security to endure, to not be fleeting,” Halevi said. “Reaching an agreement is complex, but with the strength you are displaying here and the powerful way in which the IDF is fighting on seven fronts, in seven arenas, Israel is telling the entire Middle East there is immense strength here, and incredible capability.”

He reiterated the IDF’s support for the hostages being held by Hamas, both military and civilian, saying, “[We are] prepared to fight with tremendous determination, as well as pay a price to bring them home.”

The military effort in Gaza was “not stopping or slowing down,” he said. “This is to bring back the hostages, to ensure security for the surrounding communities,” he said.

Hamas is still holding 101 hostages, including 97 it kidnapped during the terror group’s Oct. 7, 2023, onslaught on the northwestern Negev.
IDF uncovers Hezbollah training center near UNIFIL post, counters UN claim of operating within post
As part of the IDF's activity to destroy Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon, the IDF operated near a UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) post last Thursday, the military announced on Sunday.

In their statement, the IDF countered claims by stating that engineering vehicles did not enter the UNIFIL position in the area.

However, it is possible that Blue Line infrastructure was harmed as a result of the operation, the IDF noted. IDF seeks to push Hezbollah from southern Lebanon

The IDF reiterated that it seeks to operate against Hezbollah's infrastructure and capabilities to push the group away from the area and ensure security for residents in northern Israel.

On Friday, the IDF announced that soldiers discovered a Hezbollah training center just 200 meters away from a UNIFIL post.

The Hezbollah training center, in close proximity to the UNIFIL post, was used by Hezbollah for training, studying, and storing large quantities of weapons, the IDF said. Part of the facility contained missile launchers for firing at Israeli communities.

UNFIL condemned the incident in a statement on Friday, claiming, "Yesterday, two IDF excavators and one IDF bulldozer destroyed part of a fence and a concrete structure in a UNIFIL position in Ras Naqoura. In response to our urgent protest, the IDF denied any activity was taking place inside the UNIFIL position."
IDF reportedly targets Hezbollah site near Damascus
The Israel Defense Forces conducted a targeted strike on an apartment in Sayyidah Zaynab, a hub for Iranian terrorist activity south of Damascus, Syrian state media claimed on Sunday afternoon.

Syria’s SANA news agency, citing a military source, reported that the Israeli Air Force targeted a building “in the Sayyidah Zaynab area of the Damascus countryside, resulting in a number of martyrs and wounded.”

IAF fighter jets targeted two buildings occupied by Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based war monitor affiliated with Syria’s opposition.

“The Israeli missiles targeted specific individuals in an apartment in one of the buildings, killing three people and injuring others,” the NGO said.

Israel rarely acknowledges attacks in Syria, although in February, Jerusalem revealed that it had struck more than 50 targets belonging to Hezbollah and other Iran-backed terrorist organizations in Syria since Oct. 7, 2023.

On Nov. 5, IAF fighter jets launched renewed raids on Hezbollah targets in the Syrian town of Al-Qusayr, near the border with Lebanon, attacking munitions depots used by the Lebanese terrorist army.

“Hezbollah’s Munitions Unit is responsible for storing weapons inside Lebanon and has recently expanded its activities into the area of Al-Qusayr, near the Syria-Lebanon border,” the military confirmed on X.

Israeli jets previously struck terrorism-related targets in Al-Qusayr on Oct. 31, including arms-storage facilities, and command and control centers used by Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and its Munitions Unit.

On Nov. 4, the IAF attacked Hezbollah’s local intelligence headquarters in Sayyidah Zaynab. The site, located about six miles south of Damascus, was operating as “Hezbollah’s central intelligence body, responsible for intelligence assessments, the direction of intelligence activities, and the intelligence gathering and detection capabilities,” the IDF said.
Hezbollah rocket wounds three in Western Galilee
Three Israelis were wounded on Sunday by a rocket strike in the Western Galilee during the latest barrage fired by Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya said that the men arrived independently at the hospital after being injured by a rocket in the area of Kibbutz Kabri, around 2.5 miles east of the seaside city.

They are residents of the nearby Arab village of Sheikh Dannun.

Two of the victims, aged 37 and 20, were listed in moderate condition, and the third victim, age 47, was in fair condition.

Fifteen rockets were fired from Lebanon at the Western Galilee on Sunday afternoon, according to the IDF, which said that some of the rockets were intercepted, while impacts were identified.

Hezbollah rockets triggered sirens in the Upper and Western Galilee areas on Sunday morning, with a direct hit destroying a dining hall in Tel Hai, which is part of the border kibbutz of Kfar Giladi. No injuries were reported in the barrage, with video showing extensive damage to the inside of the building from the rocket impact.


D9 Bulldozer Shipment to Israel Stalled by U.S.
The partial U.S. arms embargo on Israel is affecting the battlefield in Gaza and Lebanon and could pose a risk to IDF soldiers. The U.S. is silently halting various arms shipments to the country but continues to support Israel in other ways, including a large-scale deal to acquire around 1,000 new APCs.

New details reveal that an extensive shipment of 134 D9 bulldozers, which Israel ordered and paid for but are awaiting export approval from the U.S. State Department in Washington, according to two security sources who spoke with Ynet on condition of anonymity.

The use of these bulldozers, primarily for flattening structures in the Gaza Strip, has led to significant internal criticism in the U.S., protests and intense pressure on U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration, which has succumbed and frozen deliveries for several months.

The impact on the battlefield is already apparent in both combat theaters: Ynet’s inquiry shows that many of the existing D9 bulldozers, heavily used in the IDF maneuver in Gaza for months require maintenance. Additionally, the IDF has been engaged in a new ground operation in southern Lebanon, where these bulldozers are also needed.

“At the height of the fighting in Gaza, about a year ago, battalion commanders were ‘fighting’ between them over D9 bulldozers; now they need maintenance,” say commanders leading the fighting in Gaza. The IDF struggled to directly link the deadly outcomes of the raid in Jabaliya — in which 21 soldiers were killed, many due to explosive devices — to the number of D9 bulldozers allocated for operations.

“The bulldozers in these operations often lead the brigade’s combat teams, clearing ‘contaminated’ areas from explosive charges intended to detonate against infantry and armor troops. However, it’s clear that these machines aren’t only operationally effective against terror tunnels and in urban areas but also help save soldiers’ lives.

Forces on the northern front are required to clear thousands of acres of dense thicket, which Hezbollah uses to conceal bunkers and weapons depots close to Israeli towns while preparing to invade the Galilee. The scope of the deal is estimated at several billion shekels, with the vehicles’ armor intended to be manufactured in Israeli facilities.

The halt to bulldozer deliveries will likely delay another significant operation by IDF Southern Command that remains incomplete: establishing a one-kilometer-wide buffer zone between the Gaza Strip and the western Negev, on the Gazan side of the border — involving the leveling of hundreds of Palestinian buildings and agricultural lands.

Anti-Israel protesters bring kids to ‘rage playdate’ outside Schumer’s home, clash with NYPD for lacking permit
The NYPD wasn’t playing around with a group of anti-Israel protesters who brought their children Saturday to demonstrate outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn home.

About 60 people gathered for what was billed as a “rage playdate” outside Schumer’s Prospect Park West building, where they had coloring pages about “Zionist bullies” and plead for President-elect Donald Trump to defund the Jewish state.

But the NYPD quickly moved the protesters away and blocked off the street because the agitators had not gotten a permit.

Parents clashed with officers, calling them “dictators” and yelling “KKK NYPD.”

“I will sue the s–t out of you,” one organizer told an officer.

Others chanted, “Schumer, Schumer you will see, Palestine will be free” and held signs that read, “Israel kills Palestinian children.”

“Chuck Schumer enables genocide,” one an organizer claimed.


Germany Passes Resolution to Ban Funding for Antisemitic NGOs
The German Bundestag has passed a resolution titled “Never again is now – Protecting, preserving and strengthening Jewish life in Germany” that bans support for antisemitic NGOs.

The resolution approved Thursday seeks to re-affirm Germany’s commitment to Israel, stop antisemitism, strengthen Jewish life in Germany, and ensure no financial funding goes to organizations and projects that “spread antisemitism, question Israel’s right to exist, call for a boycott of Israel or actively support the BDS movement.”

Olga Deutsch, an expert on Europe-Israel relations and vice president of the Jerusalem-based NGO Monitor, an independent research organization, welcomed the resolution.

“This is an important resolution that will affect all aspects of the relations between the two countries, including aid,” Deutsch said in a statement.

“As the second largest bilateral donor to the Palestinians, Germany is sending a clear message to other European countries on the urgent need to shift the paradigm in how governments should fight antisemitism.

“The resolution clearly states that events in Israel have direct ramifications on Germany, and often endanger the local population. This will influence Germany’s development politics too,” Deutsch said.

For years, NGO Monitor has documented how advocacy NGOs, particularly Palestinian Arab and European groups, abuse public funds to spread antisemitism, encourage violence, dehumanize Jews and Israelis, and openly support terror.

“In the context of extraordinary humanitarian challenges, and as attention shifts to Gaza reconstruction, we welcome Germany’s commitment to Israeli security by demanding that all who benefit from German taxpayers’ funds recognize Israel’s right to exist,” Deutsch said.

“This is a basic requirement that can jumpstart a long-term process of deradicalizing Palestinian society.”

The antisemitic slogan “Death to the Jews” has already been banned in Germany.

Germany is struggling to fight the tidal wave of antisemitism that is sweeping not only its own population but those in most European countries.
Israel praises Berlin court's ruling on 'river to the sea' slogan
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has praised the decision by a Berlin court to classify using the controversial pro-Palestinian slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" as use of a "terrorist symbol."

"I welcome the decision of the Berlin Regional Court to outlaw the phrase ... The new anti-Semitism that is based on the denial of the Jewish state's right to exist must be uprooted!" Saar wrote on X on Saturday.

A court in the German capital found a protester guilty for the first time on Friday of employing a symbol of a terrorist organization for using the phrase.

The presiding judge said the slogan is a symbol of the Palestinian Islamist Hamas group, which the European Union classifies as a terrorist organization.

The court imposed a fine of €1,300 ($1,390) on the 42-year-old defendant.

The defence lawyer has said they will appeal the decision.

The slogan calls for a free Palestine stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, which is the area currently occupied by Israel.
Jewish DePaul students speak out after antisemitic attack on campus: 'Traumatic experience'
Two Jewish DePaul students continue to recover after an alleged hate crime.

Max Long and Michael Kaminsky spoke out Saturday for the first time since they were attacked in broad daylight in the middle of campus Wednesday afternoon, according to police.

One student was jumped from behind and beaten, police said, as he and another Jewish student were standing outside the Lincoln Park student center.

Long and Kaminsky have just gotten out of the hospital.

"Trying to cope with everything that happened, pretty traumatic experience," Kaminsky said.

Long has a concussion and Kaminsky suffered a fractured wrist after they were attacked on their own college campus.

"I didn't believe something like this could happen," Kaminsky said.

Long was standing outside the student center, as he does every week, holding a sign, donning the Israeli flag, and offering to speak with passersby about the war in Gaza.

He knows the war intimately.

"I was in Israel on October 7," Long said. "I was called up with my team."

A reservist with the Israeli military, he was deployed by the Israeli Defense Forces after the attack in 2023. He was part of a counter explosive unit, recovering hostages.

This summer, when reserve staff Sergeant Long moved to Chicago and enrolled at DePaul University, he said sharing his truth became his new focus of operation.

"I witnessed firsthand the things that I was hearing people say over here that were fake and were not true," Long said. "And so it became this mission of, 'I need to make sure that the truth is told.'"


PMW: Was the PA relieved that Israel killed Hamas leader Sinwar?
Almost no official PA reactions to death of Sinwar. Those who did react hardly mentioned his name:
Abbas' advisor alluded to Sinwar as "any Palestinian" or "a person"
PLO did call Sinwar "a great national leader," but immediately limited it saying the PLO is "the sole legitimate representative" of the Palestinians

Local Fatah leaders were more overflowing in their praise, but still focused on the goal to destroy Israel:
Fatah in Gaza: Sinwar was "a leader and a symbol," we "continue the path of removing the treacherous Zionist enemy that is crouching over our occupied land, from its [Mediterranean] Sea to its [Jordan] River"
Fatah branch in the West Bank: "The great fighting Jihad fighter Martyr Yahya Sinwar"was the "leader and architect of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle

Hamas itself:
Hamas: Sinwar was "a great leader" and "Martyr," whose path "was a lofty jihadist path"
Hamas: "Martyrdom is the loftiest thing that our leaders wish for, and their blood will be a beacon illuminating the path of liberation and a fire burning the aggressors"
Pakistan senate panel passes bill criminalizing promotion of Zionism
In an unprecedented move, Pakistan's Senate Standing Committee on Interior approved a bill on Thursday imposing prison sentences for promoting Zionism. The legislation aims to curb incitement to communal hatred amid concerns over the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

The new bill stipulates that promoting Zionism to incite communal hatred can lead to a prison term of up to three years. Displaying Zionist symbols with the intent to cause public unrest carries a sentence of up to two years.

Senator Afnanullah Khan of the ruling Muslim League-N party introduced the Criminal Law Amendment Bill. Khan claimed that the ideology of Zionism promotes violence, citing the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Speaking during a session led by Senator Faisal Saleem Rehman, Khan asserted that Zionist ideologies currently influence the world. He stated, "It is written in the books of Zionism that those who do not agree with you should be killed. They are martyring children in Gaza under this ideology."

Zionism banned
Khan further emphasized that Zionist propaganda and symbols would be banned in Pakistan, adding that there are individuals in the country with Zionist beliefs.

The bill faced no opposition from committee members or the Interior Ministry during the meeting and was subsequently approved. Under the bill, arrests for promoting Zionism or displaying Zionist symbols must be carried out with a warrant and will be classified as bailable offenses.

The introduction of this legislation is notable given the lack of reported cases of Zionist preaching or propaganda in Pakistan. Historically, a notable Jewish community lived in Karachi, Pakistan’s commercial center, and Rawalpindi, its garrison city, prior to the nation’s establishment.
Iraq to 'legalize child rape,' lowering age of consent to 9
Iraq's parliament is preparing to pass legislation that would lower the legal age of consent from 18 to nine years old, while simultaneously removing women's rights to divorce, child custody, and inheritance, The Telegraph reports.

The amendment, backed by a coalition of conservative Shia Muslim parties, would overturn the country's "personal status law," also known as Law 188, which has been considered among the most progressive women's rights in the Middle East since its introduction in 1959. "The amendment would not just undermine these rights," said Sarah Sanbar, Iraq researcher at Human Rights Watch. "It would erase them."

Previous attempts to change the law failed in 2014 and 2017 due to backlash from Iraqi women. However, according to experts interviewed by The Telegraph, the coalition now holds a large parliamentary majority and appears poised to succeed. The Iraqi parliament will formally debate the latest amendments before putting them to a vote.

"It's the closest it's ever been. It has more momentum than it's ever had, primarily because of the Shia parties," Dr. Renad Mansour, a senior research fellow at Chatham House, said. The proposed amendment is part of a wider political move by Shia Islamist groups to "consolidate their power" and regain legitimacy. "Stressing the religious side is a way for them to try and regain some of the ideological legitimacy that has been waning over the last few years," he explained.

According to the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), approximately 28% of women in Iraq are already married by age 18. A current loophole allows religious leaders to officiate marriages, including those involving girls as young as 15, with paternal permission. These unregistered marriages are particularly widespread in economically poor, ultra-conservative Shia communities. The amendment would legitimize these religious marriages, putting young girls at increased risk of sexual and physical violence. Additionally, these women "will have to stay in harmful situations because they fear losing custody of their children," Sanbar said.
Repeat Offender Arrested in Crown Heights Attempted Kidnapping
The perpetrator who grabbed a Chassidic child who was walking with his father in Crown Heights on Shabbos has been arrested, the NYPD said. The perpetrator is known to police, and has allegedly been arrested over 30 times, despite being under 30 years old.

The perpetrator who grabbed a Chassidic child who was walking with his father in Crown Heights on Shabbos has been arrested, the NYPD said.

Stephan Stowe, 28, was arrested on Saturday night. He is a resident of Crown Heights and lives on Kingston Avenue, on the block of the attack.

Stowe, who was wearing a mask, attempted to grab the child while walking with his father on Kingston Avenue near Lefferts Avenue on Shabbos afternoon. He has been arrested with major charges including attempted kidnapping in the 2nd degree and endangering the welfare of a child, Yaacov Behrman, Director of the Jewish Future Alliance, said.

The perpetrator is known to police, and has allegedly been arrested over 30 times, despite being under 30 years old.

He has also been arrested in the past for criminal possession of a weapon, the NYPD said.

“What is wrong with our legal system? What is wrong with society? How is this possible?” Behrman asked.

Many in the Crown Heights community are expressing outrage at the increasing violent crime in the neighborhood, with many offenders being quickly released back to the streets, often to perpetrate more violence.

“These incidents are part of a troubling pattern of masks being used to hide identities,” Behrman said. He called on elected officials to restore New York’s mask ban.


DC kosher restaurant has windows smashed on eve of Kristallnacht anniversary
The kosher restaurant Char Bar in Washington, DC, had its windows smashed overnight Friday-Saturday.

The incident took place on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass” — in which the Nazis terrorized Jews throughout Germany and Austria in 1938.


Israel to Provide U.S. Army with Protection Systems for Its Bradley Fighting Vehicles
The US has awarded Elbit Systems a $127-million follow-on contract to supply Iron Fist Active Protection Systems (APS) for its Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs).

The Israel-based defense contractor will supply the APS to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS), which will conduct the upgrades of the US Army’s Bradley M2A4E1 IFVs over a period of 34 months.

In May 2024, Elbit received a $37-million contract to deliver the same APS for the Bradley IFVs as part of General Dynamics’ ongoing project to upgrade the US Army IFVs for eight years.

“This follow-on contract with our strategic partner, GD-OTS, emphasizes the high quality of our active protection system and its level of innovation. We are proud of our contribution to empowering the US Armed Forces, as well as other NATO customers and our support of the Israeli Defense Forces,” General Manager of Elbit Systems Land Yehuda (Udi) Vered said.

Advanced Hard Kill System
The Iron Fist APS increases the survivability of light and heavy armored platforms against anti-tank threats, such as anti-tank rockets, anti-tank guided missiles, and drones.

It provides 360-degree protection and employs radio frequency and passive infrared sensing for enhanced accuracy and reliability in threat detection.

Various platforms are also compatible with the Iron Fist, thanks to its modular, compact design and lightweight, small form that eases the burden on vehicles, as well as its easy integration.
