05/10 Links: Former ADL director and Holocaust survivor Abe Foxman dies at 86; Where are the voices defending Europe’s Jews?; The Saudi 'No'; Why Is It Only in Ireland that I Worry about Being Jewish?

From Ian:

Where are the voices defending Europe’s Jews?
There would have been no Europe had it not been built upon the need to turn the page after the Shoah. Europe claimed to be “new,” as Konrad Adenauer declared. It swore to become “different,” as Simone Veil assured us, in the name of overcoming the antisemitism that murdered 6 million Jews.

And so the celebration of Europe Day on Saturday was deeply paradoxical.

Antisemitism has once again become omnipresent—a stain spreading across the continent just as it did in the Europe of the 1930s, a Europe dazzling in beauty, culture and tradition before the plague of Nazism and fascism consumed it.

Today’s Europe, confused by a mixture of distorted human-rights ideology and Third Worldist progressivism, applies an obvious double standard. It condemns Donald Trump while treating Iran gently. It attacks Israel while forgetting Hamas and Hezbollah.

All this while Europe claims to be forging a stronger identity, capable of competing strategically and politically with the United States.

But antisemitism remains the structural weakness of European thought—its recurring condemnation.

Walter Hallstein, one of the first presidents of the European Commission, once said: “Anyone who lived through National Socialism knows that Europe was born so that such persecution could never happen again.”

Yet when European Parliament President Roberta Metsola spoke this week of the “many challenges” facing Europe, she did not mention antisemitism.

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke of a “treasure forged by courage.” Yet why is that courage not used to pressure Lebanon to stop Hezbollah and pursue genuine peace, instead of endlessly blaming Jerusalem?

Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi dedicated a “White Rose,” the symbol of his political movement, to Sophie Scholl, the young German student executed for resisting Nazism. Rightly so. That is the Europe we should honor.

But in the hands of a political camp that, in the name of peace, condemns only Israel, that rose appears withered.

Where are the voices defending Europe’s Jews?
Why Is It Only in Ireland that I Worry about Being Jewish?
As one of the 2,000 Jews in Ireland, I worry every time I attend a Jewish community event that this will be the time someone gets through the many layers of security to attack us. I worry that my partner, who is publicly visible as a Holocaust education activist and a Jewish business owner, will be targeted. I worry that when I bring my six-year-old son to places where other Jews are present, I'm putting him in danger.

Attacks against diaspora Jews are happening within a context of relentless protest against Israel and a boycott movement that is trying to isolate the country from the community of nations. The attackers seem to believe that hurting Jews in Sydney, London or Manchester is striking a blow against Israel. The implication is that Jews everywhere share responsibility for the conduct of Jews anywhere. It reduces all Jews to avatars of Israeli policy, creating a permission structure for violence against Jews in general.

Sometimes Irish Jews end up as collateral damage, as happened with the Sinn Fein party's appalling campaign on the Dublin city council to rename Herzog Park in Rathgar, one the city's most Jewish areas, on the pretext that it honored a Zionist. Before he was president of Israel, Chaim Herzog was an Irish Jew, the son of Isaac Herzog, who was Ireland's first chief rabbi and later chief rabbi of Mandatory Palestine and the State of Israel. The Herzogs are essentially the Kennedys of Israel; Isaac's grandson and namesake is president of Israel today.

The overall message is that the recognition of Jewish humanity is somehow conditional, qualified, contingent on what the Israeli government does or doesn't do. In my experience, this logic is very common in Ireland. I've encountered it personally. It's all over social media. It pops up in mainstream media too. It's even promoted by several political parties.
Pierre Rehov: The Saudi 'No'
The Abraham Accords, once touted as a breakthrough, have quietly moved, in Saudi political conversation, into the deep freeze.

In September 1967, the Arab League, at its summit in Khartoum, delivered the famous three "no's": no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel. Notably, the declaration made no mention of a Palestinian state, which the late senior PLO official Zuheir Mohsen significantly pointed out in 1977, had not yet been invented:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism." — Zuheir Mohsen, Trouw, March 31, 1977.

Once US President Donald J. Trump, without Saudi Arabia lifting a finger, relieved the kingdom of its foremost adversary, Iran, and removed the major threat to the kingdom, what would Saudi Arabia need Israel for anyway? To the Saudis, the Abraham Accords doubtless look like an agreement signed by others, but never embraced by the one Arab power that truly mattered.

The Arab League's Khartoum resolution was never truly about borders. It expressed a fundamental rejection of Jewish sovereignty on land the Arab world, guided by religious doctrine, considered permanently to be held in trust (waqf, endowment) for Allah.

The late Abba Eban, serving as Israel's foreign minister, had called the pre-1967 "border" -- merely an armistice line where the fighting had stopped in 1949 -- "the Auschwitz lines." Riyadh appears to understand this perfectly, which is precisely why its condition was framed as it was.

The Arab League's response to the 1948 UN partition plan was a genocidal invasion of the newly born Jewish state by the armies of five Arab states. Khartoum repeated this rejection in 1967. Saudi Arabia continues the same refusal today in language carefully tailored for Western chancelleries.

Qatar, meanwhile, plays an even more institutionalized double game: hosting America's largest regional military base while protecting Hamas commanders, financing Muslim Brotherhood networks, and deploying Al Jazeera TV network as the ideological megaphone for the entire project.

Israeli security cannot rest any hope on a recognition that will not come. It will depend instead on the determined elimination of the Iranian regime and its terrorist proxies when the opportunity arises, and the fight for power that might well define the Sunni world once the Shia threat no longer binds it together.


Gideon Falter: Britain fought fascism once. Now we must defeat the new anti-Jewish extremists
Our country is naturally resistant to extremism, but in the 1930s there was a moment when it looked as though fascism might take hold in Britain – not through coercion but by choice.

Chamberlain’s appeasement policy is well known, but less known is that Sir Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists might have had its own mini-Kristallnacht in London two years before the infamous Nazi campaign of terror.

In 1936, Mosley’s blackshirts marched on a Jewish neighbourhood in London’s impoverished East End. They had the protection of the Metropolitan Police, were cheered on by sections of the media, and enjoyed the sympathy of the King.

Back then, a Jew might have wondered whether this tolerant and decent land was being seduced by anti-Semitism and about to fall into the clutches of extremism. But the British people would not have it and when Mosley’s thugs marched, Jewish and non-Jewish Londoners stood together and beat them back at the Battle of Cable Street.

The Public Order Act followed. George VI succeeded his treacherous brother. Churchill mobilised the nation with unflinching resolve against Hitler. That precarious moment when fascism was on the rise in Britain passed. The rest is history. Radicalism and appeasement have been dirty words in Britain ever since.

Until now.

Our kind and neighbourly country has been radicalised. They’ve started with our children. A fifth of students won’t share accommodation with a Jew. Foreign networks run amok in our island nation. From Iran to the Muslim Brotherhood they spread hatred so effectively that the United Arab Emirates no longer sends students here.

And the response of successive governments and the police? Appeasement that would have Churchill and our Greatest Generation spinning in their graves. Those who called to “globalise the intifada” have succeeded and given us our own variant: the Britifada.


20,000 people rally at 10 Downing Street demanding crackdown on antisemitism
Thousands of members of the Jewish community and allies descended on 10 Downing Street today to call on the government to do more to tackle antisemitism.

According to organisers, some 20,000 people attended the rally on Sunday afternoon, where impassioned speeches were given by political, communal and faith leaders including Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey, and Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice.

Over a dozen national Jewish bodies, including the United Synagogue (US), the Board of Deputies, the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) and Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA), had jointly organised the march. It comes amid a sharp rise in antisemitic violence and hate incidents in recent weeks, particularly in London, including stabbings, arson attacks on Jewish charities, synagogues, and community ambulances.

Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis opened the rally with a strong call to action. In a rare political intervention, Mirvis called directly for the expulsion of the Iranian ambassador from the UK and the proscription of the IRGC.

“A poisonous antisemitism has become normalised in the UK,” he said. “We see it within political circles, within the media, our university campuses, in our schools. We see it in the arts, in the NHS and on our streets. It is unacceptable that antisemitic attacks are starting to become normalised.”

He added: “It is unacceptable that Iran is inspiring violence against British citizens on British soil. Why has the Iranian ambassador not been expelled? Expel him now. Ban the IRGC now.”

There were loud rounds of applause for Badenoch when she took to the stage and spoke, accompanied by chants of “Kemi, Kemi, Kemi”.

“You are not alone and Britain stands with you,” she said. “There are many people afraid to call it what it is, there are many people afraid to call it out. I am not afraid. We do need to stand against extremism, we do need to stand against Islamic extremism…I recognise this evil, I recognise this threat that wants people to feel afraid, to feel terror.

“They want you to be afraid when you step out of your house. They want you to be afraid when you go to school, when you go to work, when you go to worship. The people who want us to be afraid must never be allowed to win. So, we must fight it everywhere we can.”

She added: “To Jewish people who are worried about the country, I say to you now, Britain will always be a haven and a safe place for Jewish people.”

Representing the government, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Pat McFadden, promised “action” in tackling antisemitism. Parts of his speech were interrupted by heckling from the audience, who yelled “You’ve failed” and chants of “shame”.

Gideon Falter, of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, said the UK has become “a disgrace among the nations” over the level of antisemitism.


Holocaust-denying councillor elected in Tower Hamlets despite Aspire Party suspension
Abul Monsur, who was suspended by the Aspire Party ahead of the local elections after making social media posts denying the Holocaust, was elected to Tower Hamlets council this week.

The Standard reported that Monsur shared a string of offensive posts on his Facebook page in 2025, including one with an image of a “Zionist victim card”, which said that “any criticism of Israel is antisemitic and accusers are supporters of terrorism”.

Below that, there was a line which read “if in doubt, refer to the Holocaust”, but the word “Holocaust” had been crossed out and had “Holohoax” written above it.

Another post shared by Monsur appeared to express approval for Hitler, as he wrote that “Adolf Hitler outlawed usury [the practice of charging excessive interest on loans]” alongside three bullseye emojis.

He then replied with three bullseye emojis to a comment on that post, which included the sentence: “The main reason the Jews conspired to kill Jesus was that he was against usury”.

Elsewhere, he said that “there is NO mention of a ‘Holocaust’ in papers written after WW2 by Churchill, Eisenhower, and De Gaulle”, and referred to “Jews gaining control of the media”.

Monsur also shared several antisemitic conspiracy theories, including that “Zionists” were responsible for the Bondi Beach terror attack in December, and for the assassinations of political commentator Charlie Kirk and former US president John F Kennedy.

The posts were brought to light when an independent candidate in another ward, Andrew Wood, notified the Local Democracy Reporting Service of his Facebook profile.

Aspire said that they “had no idea about these appalling and unacceptable posts and once informed, took immediate action”.
London police make four arrests in string of antisemitic crimes
Police in London arrested two men in connection with antisemitic arson attacks and another two for threats and intimidation of Jews, and two other suspects confessed to harassing a Jew for traffic on TikTok, the Metropolitan Police said this weekend.

The alleged crimes and actions against suspected perpetrators are part of a surge in antisemitic attacks in the United Kingdom, and authorities’ efforts to counter that surge amid scrutiny at home and abroad.

One of the men arrested on arson charges, a 19-year-old who was apprehended on Thursday, was the third person held in the investigation into the attempted arson attack on a synagogue in Finchley, London, on April 15, police said.

The other man arrested on arson charges, a 48-year-old, is the ninth person to be arrested in connection with the March 23 arson attack on four ambulances of the Hatzola Northwest Jewish group in Golders Green, London.

The third detainee was arrested on Friday after allegedly threatening Jews, including children, aboard a London bus while shouting antisemitic abuse and claiming to be carrying a knife. The suspect targeted Jewish passengers with threats and racist abuse, shouting “Shame Hitler didn’t kill you” and “You should all go in the gas chambers” before his arrest, The Jewish Chronicle of London quoted witnesses as saying.

Separately, a man who threatened to cut a group of Jews’ throats in Manchester has pleaded guilty to multiple hate crime offenses. Wayne Kelly, 65, appeared before a district judge at Manchester Magistrate’s Court on Friday, The Jewish Chronicle reported. He admitted to targeting Jews verbally as they were walking to synagogue.

The two defendants who admitted to filming themselves harassing at least one Jew for videos they shared on the TikTok platform are Adam Bedoui, 20, from West Drayton, Hillingdon, and Abdelkader Amir Bousloub, 21, also from Hillingdon.

Both men pleaded guilty to a religiously aggravated public order offense at Thames Magistrate’s Court on Saturday, the police said.


‘Summer of terror’: Jewish Australians give first testimonies to royal commission into anti-Semitism
The daughter of slain Bondi hero Reuven Morrison has told a royal commission that she’d received hundreds of threats online since the December 14 terror attack — including people wishing she had also been murdered.

Sheina Gutnick was the first Jewish Australian to give testimony at the high-profile probe into anti-Semitism and social cohesion in Sydney on Monday, launched in the wake of the massacre of 15 innocent people at a Hanukkah festival.

The inquiry heard the mass shooting at Australia’s most famous beach came after a “summer of terror” for Jewish Australians, as the October 7 Hamas terror attack triggered a wave of unprecedented hatred towards Jews.

Ms Gutnick said “hateful attitudes” had been “formed and normalised” as part of a “massive shift” towards anti-Semitism in Australia ahead of the attack.

Her 62-year-old father was killed after he bravely hurled bricks at Sajid Akram following fellow hero Ahmed al-Ahmed’s successful effort to disarm the alleged gunman.

Ms Gutnick also spoke of the “deeply alarming” hatred her community has experienced since the Bondi attack, including efforts to downplay the massacre.

“I saw widespread claims online and within the media that the attack was not anti-Semitic. I saw people trying to excuse and justify the events as ‘only anti-Zionist’,” she said.

“We know that misinformation spreads quickly online, driven by influencers and commentators with agendas presenting distortions as fact and embedding a growing acceptance of narratives that excuse, minimise or even promote violence against Jewish people.

“I have received and seen hundreds of comments, including people stating in response to posts that . . . I should have been killed in the Bondi attack, calls to kill Israelis, comments celebrating violence against Jews, as well as claims that attacks against the Jewish community are false flags staged by Jews themselves for attention or sympathy.”


After Two Months of War, Iran Is Damaged but Not Defeated
More than two months after the outbreak of the Iran war, Iran has been damaged, but not defeated. Moreover, its ability to survive a combined American-Israeli offensive may even bolster its perception of victory.

At this stage, there is no evidence to suggest that the Iranian regime is nearing collapse. Now under more hardline leadership, the regime has managed to maintain its command-and-control capabilities. There are no discernible cracks or fissures within the political elite, particularly in the apparatuses of repression and enforcement, led by the IRGC, the Basij, and law enforcement forces.

Although toppling the regime was not presented as one of the war's objectives, the conditions that would enable the Iranian people to bring about the desired change have yet to mature. The regime still possesses effective instruments of repression and loyal security apparatuses, while its opponents still lack the capacity to translate widespread public discontent and mistrust of the regime into an organized and viable political alternative.

Despite the damage inflicted on its nuclear capabilities, Iran retains residual capabilities that could serve its efforts to rehabilitate the program and even to achieve a nuclear weapons breakout. Iran could, within a relatively short period, achieve the capability to detonate a simple device and conduct an underground test, thereby signaling that it has crossed the nuclear threshold.

Enrichment to the 90% level does not necessarily require numerous cascades and could be achieved within a few weeks, particularly if Iran were to implement an accelerated emergency program and if a covert facility or several small, dispersed sites across the country have already been prepared in advance. Iranian motivation to advance toward nuclear weapons is likely to intensify in light of Tehran's ongoing failure to deter its enemies from attacking through conventional means or via its regional proxies.

Iran has intensified its efforts to reconstitute and upgrade its missile array as part of enhanced preparations for the potential resumption of hostilities. In its view, the war demonstrated that the missile array constitutes a primary strategic asset.

While a systematic effort was made to target not only launching capabilities but also production chains and the Iranian defense industries, significant missile and launcher capabilities remained in Iran's possession at the war's end. The survivability of launchers and missiles was achieved by pre-storing them in vast storage tunnels constructed over the years. Additionally, the Iranians developed methods for clearing blockages at tunnel exits.
John Spencer: Who Has the Upper Hand in Iran?
One of the strangest habits in modern war analysis is how quickly survival gets confused with victory. Iran has not collapsed overnight. The regime still broadcasts threats, launches missiles and drones, and floods television and social media with declarations of imagined strength. From that surface-level reality, a growing chorus of commentators has rushed to claim that Iran has embarrassed the United States, exposed Israeli weakness, and seized control of escalation through its ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz. Much of that analysis mistakes continued existence for strategic success and ignores nearly every measurable indicator of national power.

Wars are not scored like debates on cable television. They are judged through military capability, economic endurance, political cohesion, freedom of action, strategic leverage, and the ability to sustain power while degrading an opponent’s. By those standards, Iran is substantially weaker today than it was before the war began. The United States and Israel still hold the upper hand because the foundations of Iranian power have been systematically reduced in ways that will take years to rebuild, if they can be rebuilt at all.

The scale of military destruction alone is extraordinary. Much of the senior leadership structure that spent decades constructing Iran’s regional military network is dead. Senior IRGC commanders, missile force leaders, intelligence officials, nuclear scientists, operational planners, and even the Supreme Leader himself have been eliminated. Mohammad Bagheri, Hossein Salami, and other senior figures who represented the institutional backbone of Iran’s military strategy are gone. Entire command relationships were shattered during the opening phases of the war, leaving surviving leaders scrambling to maintain continuity while under constant pressure.

The damage extends far beyond personnel losses. Nuclear facilities that represented decades of investment and strategic ambition now sit buried under rubble after sustained strikes on enrichment sites, underground complexes, centrifuge production facilities, research centers, and supporting infrastructure. Analysts continue to speak as though Iran can simply restart enrichment at industrial scale in a matter of months. That misunderstands what was destroyed. Advanced centrifuge production depends on precision manufacturing, specialized tooling, secure facilities, trained personnel, supply chains, and protected infrastructure. Large portions of that ecosystem no longer exist.

Iran once believed it could steadily push its nuclear and missile programs toward a threshold where the military cost of stopping them would become politically unacceptable for any outside power. That strategy shaped Tehran’s thinking for years. The regime hoped to create a fait accompli, a hardened shield of missiles, proxies, underground facilities, and enrichment capability that would eventually deter meaningful intervention. Instead, the war demonstrated that the shield was penetrable and that the consequences of crossing certain lines were far greater than Tehran anticipated. Its missile enterprise has suffered similar devastation. Before the war, Iran had steadily expanded ballistic missile production and stockpiles as the centerpiece of its deterrent strategy. Analysts estimated the regime could manufacture roughly one hundred ballistic missiles per month. Today many of the machine tooling centers, fuel production facilities, assembly plants, storage depots, and transport infrastructure that sustained that output are destroyed or inoperable. Production has effectively collapsed under sustained strikes, economic isolation, cyber operations, and industrial disruption. A state can expend missiles quickly in war. Rebuilding the industrial base that creates them is a much slower process.

Iran’s naval capabilities have also absorbed severe damage. Large portions of the Iranian Navy and IRGC maritime forces were destroyed or rendered ineffective during the campaign. Tehran had invested heavily in asymmetric maritime warfare through fast attack craft, anti-ship missiles, naval mines, IRGC naval units, and swarm tactics intended to threaten global shipping. Many of those capabilities were directly targeted. Naval staging areas, missile launch infrastructure, command facilities, and key maritime assets were destroyed in strikes specifically designed to prevent Iran from controlling chokepoints or sustaining attacks on international commerce. Iran can still create disruption. It can still threaten shipping lanes and inject uncertainty into global markets. But threatening commerce is not the same thing as commanding the sea.

The debate over the Strait of Hormuz reflects a broader misunderstanding about power itself. Many analysts point to Iran’s ability to threaten oil markets as evidence that Tehran somehow controls escalation and can ultimately force the United States and its allies into retreat. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described this dynamic accurately when he referred to Iran’s use of the Strait as an “economic nuclear weapon.” By openly threatening the world economy through coercion and instability, Iran may have accomplished the opposite of what it intended. It reinforced for regional governments and global powers why the regime can never again be allowed to hold that level of leverage unchecked.

Across the Gulf, states are already accelerating efforts to bypass dependence on the Strait through pipelines, expanded port infrastructure, and alternative export corridors. The UAE’s growing alignment with Israel reflects a wider regional shift underway. Governments that once viewed Iran as a difficult but necessary regional power increasingly see it as the primary source of instability threatening economic growth and long-term security. Tehran spent years trying to convince the region that resistance movements and proxy militias represented strength. The war has increasingly exposed them as engines of destruction that drag entire societies toward crisis.
Israel Sees Significant Differences Persisting in U.S.-Iran Talks
Senior Israeli officials state that significant gaps still exist between the U.S. and Iran. "All this talk about an agreement being close is just part of the ritual," Israeli sources say. "Whenever drafts are exchanged, there's always mention of progress. The real question is whether there's actual movement toward closing the gaps. According to our estimates, the gaps remain unchanged. If there has been any progress, it's not significant."

The U.S. is insisting on a complete freeze of uranium enrichment for an extended period, coupled with the removal of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium. Publicly, Iran indicates that these demands are far from acceptable. Israeli sources note, "If you allow Iran to maintain its enrichment capabilities, including its centrifuges and knowledge, you leave it with the capacity to resume enrichment whenever it chooses."

"For Israel, the worst-case scenario is a bad deal. Any deal that gives Iran money without dismantling its enrichment capabilities is problematic."
Between Intent and Capability: Assessing the Lack of Iranian Attacks on the U.S. Homeland
Three days into the Iran war, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qods Force warned on Iranian television that the U.S. "will no longer be safe" as the Qods Force targets Americans within the U.S. homeland and abroad. "The enemy should know that their happy days are over and they will no longer be safe anywhere in the world, not even in their own homes."

Yet two months after the Revolutionary Guards' threat, authorities have yet to report a single homeland plot specifically tied to Iranian intelligence or security agencies, their terrorist proxies, or criminals hired to carry out attacks.

This is surprising because Iran has a track record of plotting attacks in the U.S. Indeed, Iran and its proxies have spent years investing in what U.S. counterterrorism officials describe as a "homeland option" in the U.S. If ever there was a time when Iran would seek to target the U.S. homeland, it would be now.

In 2011, the Revolutionary Guard hatched a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. at a Washington, D.C., restaurant. Since then, Iranian agents or their proxies have been tied to 29 plots in the U.S. Over the past five years, there have been 174 cases of Iranian foreign operations, including 81 involving Iranian agents, 24 involving criminal proxies, and 55 terrorist proxies. "U.S. law enforcement has disrupted multiple potentially lethal Iranian-backed plots in the United States since 2020," the Department of Homeland Security reported in June 2025.

The Iranian security and intelligence elements responsible for plots abroad may not have been able to follow through on their intended plans as a result of Israel's targeted disruption campaign directed against the Revolutionary Guard units directing sabotage and assassination plots overseas.

Early in the war, Israeli air force strikes targeted Rahman Moqadam, the head of Unit 4000, the special operations division of the Revolutionary Guards' Intelligence Organization, as well as his boss, Majid Khademi, the head of Revolutionary Guard Intelligence, whose predecessor was killed in June 2025. Also killed was Mohsen Suri, a primary operator and leader in the secret attacks network, who held a senior position within Unit 4000.
Netanyahu to discuss Middle East wars, Iran peace talks in ‘60 Minutes’ interview
CBS News‘ “60 Minutes” was set to air a major interview on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a preview released by the program.

The interview with CBS Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett will focus on the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and prospects for a peace agreement with Iran, the network said.

Netanyahu will also reveal what he told U.S. President Donald Trump in the Situation Room prior to the president’s decision to strike the Islamic Republic, according to the preview.


Netanyahu concedes he bears some responsibility for Oct. 7, but says ‘everyone’ shares it
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to acknowledge he has some responsibility for the failures that enabled Hamas’s cross-border invasion and onslaught of October 7, 2023, but claims that “everyone” from the top to the bottom bears responsibility as well, and the “real issue” is what has happened since that attack and not what preceded it.

Asked during an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” how it is that all those who were in charge of security during the attack have quit or been fired except him, Netanyahu claims some departed because their terms were up, and only one or two “claimed they took responsibility, but it’s not clear what– what does that mean, you know? What is their responsibility?”

The remarks appear in an off-mic section of the interview that wasn’t aired and only appears in CBS’s full transcript.

“Let’s look at the political echelon, military echelon, the security echelon. Let’s look down at everyone, and everybody bears some responsibility. Yeah, from the top, from the prime minister down,” he says, going on to repeat his proposal for a politically appointed commission of inquiry instead of a state commission of inquiry, the country’s highest form of inquiry, which he has refused to form.

Polls have consistently indicated a clear majority of Israelis support a state commission, and Netanyahu himself backed such an inquiry into the conduct of the previous government in 2022. But the government has steadfastly refused to consider this, and has yet to okay any inquiry, over 2.5 years after the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

“But I think the real issue is, okay, that’s up to October 7th. What about since October 7th?” he continues. “[It] was clearly my responsibility to get Israel out of this horrible noose of death that the Iranians put on us. And we did, systematically, very resolutely, go [to] each one of these seven fronts, one after the other, and roll back the tide of terror.”


‘Unacceptable’: Trump rejects Iran response to US peace offer, as Netanyahu insists war ‘not over’
Iran on Sunday handed over its response to the latest US peace proposal, causing US President Donald Trump to quickly declare it a nonstarter, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that the war is “not over” despite Trump’s apparent desire to end hostilities and insistence that Iran had been roundly defeated.

Days after the US floated an offer in the hopes of reopening negotiations, Iran released a response focused on ending the war on all fronts, especially Lebanon, and on the safety of shipping through the blockaded Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state TV said. Within hours of the Iranian proposal’s release, Trump dismissed it with a post on social media.

“I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, without giving further detail. Oil prices rose $3 a barrel after the United States and Iran failed to reach an agreement.

Iran’s proposal includes a demand for compensation for war damages and an emphasis on Iranian sovereignty over the strait, state media said. It also calls on the US to end its naval blockade, guarantee no further attacks, lift sanctions and end a US ban on Iranian oil sales, the semi-official Tasnim news agency said.

The US had proposed an end to fighting before starting talks on more contentious issues, including Iran’s nuclear program.

The Wall Street Journal quoted unnamed sources saying Iran proposed diluting some of its highly enriched uranium and transferring the remainder to a third country.

The US proposal, had Iran agreed to it, would have formally ended the war and reopened the Strait of Hormuz before beginning talks on more contentious issues, including the Iranian nuclear program.

Earlier, Trump accused Tehran of “playing games” in negotiations with the US for decades.


CENTOM: US forces redirected 58 ships since start of blockade of the Islamic Republic
American forces on Saturday turned away an additional commercial vessel bound for Iran, bringing the total number of ships redirected since the start of the blockade on April 13 to 58.

“The U.S. naval blockade against Iran continues to be fully enforced,” U.S. Central Command said in a statement posted on X. The military said it turned away vessels “to prevent the ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports.”

In a statement on Friday, CENTCOM said it had redirected 57 commercial vessels and disabled four others since the blockade began.

“There are currently more than 70 tankers that U.S. forces are preventing from entering or leaving Iranian ports,” the statement added. “These commercial ships have the capacity to transport more than 166 million barrels of Iranian oil worth an estimated more than $13 billion.”

U.S. President Donald Trump announced the blockade after the collapse of marathon negotiations with Iran aimed at ending the war with the Islamic Republic, launched jointly by the United States and Israel on Feb. 28.

Separately, Trump on May 4 launched “Operation Project Freedom” to safeguard merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz following a series of Iranian attacks in the vital waterway. Iran has largely blocked the strait since the start of the war, triggering a spike in global fuel prices and putting pressure on financial markets.

“Operation Project Freedom” was suspended two days after its launch at the request of Pakistan, which is mediating talks with Tehran.

Trump on Saturday warned that the operation could be reinstated and expanded, warning he could launch “Project Freedom Plus” if a deal to end the fighting isn’t reached.


Israel built secret military outpost in Iraq to support Iran campaign—report
Israel built a secret military outpost in the Iraqi desert to support its aerial campaign against Iran, people familiar with the matter, including U.S. officials, told The Wall Street Journal on Saturday.

Jerusalem constructed the base, which housed special forces and served as a logistical hub for the Israeli Air Force, just before the start of “Operation Roaring Lion” against the Islamic Republic, the sources said.

Israel Defense Forces search-and-rescue teams were stationed at the facility in case Israeli pilots were downed, according to the report.

The IAF carried out strikes on Iraqi troops who almost discovered the outpost in the early days of the war, the Journal reported.

After a shepherd reported unusual military activity in the area, Iraqi troops were dispatched to investigate, but the IDF used airstrikes to keep them at bay, one person familiar with the matter said. The Iraqi government at the time condemned the strikes, which left one Iraqi soldier dead and wounded two others.

“It appears there was a certain force on the ground before the strike, supported from the air, operating beyond the capabilities of our units,” Lt. Gen. Qais al-Muhammadawi, deputy commander of the Joint Operations Command, a central security body, told Iraqi state media in March.


Iranian businesses said resorting to mass layoffs amid wartime economic struggles
Businesses in Iran have resorted to mass layoffs due to the economic struggle caused by the war with the US and Israel and the ensuing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, The New York Times reported Sunday, citing Iranian business sources.

According to the sources, dozens of major tech companies have laid off hundreds of employees across all sectors, with one labor leader saying some 3.5 million workers could be affected by the trend in Iran’s industrial sector alone.

The private sector struggles are signs of a “deepening crisis” for the regime, the report said, as mass layoffs and business closures will greatly decrease tax revenue, which the government has increasingly relied on during trade shutdowns caused by the war.

The report of mass layoffs comes as US President Donald Trump has opted to squeeze Iran’s economy through his blockade of the country’s ports, causing billions of dollars in lost oil revenue, with Trump saying he hopes the Iranian economy will collapse under pressure, and other American officials saying the US is “suffocating the regime.”

Iran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has tried to push back on the problem, urging companies to avoid layoffs “to the extent possible.”

However, his regime’s harsh wartime measures, especially its near-complete internet shutdown, have caused some $80 million in daily losses, the report said, citing the leader of an Iranian tech lobby.

Major Iranian digital commerce platform Digikala has laid off 200 workers, around a third of its staff, the report said.

Kamva, another e-commerce site, announced recently that it was shutting down entirely, with the company’s founder saying: “After two wars and months of internet shutdown, we could no longer bypass the crisis.”

But it is not just the internet shutdown that has contributed to mass layoffs, the report said, as the US and Israeli strikes on Iranian industrial sites during the war, including oil and gas facilities and raw material production, have crippled the country’s once-robust industrial sector.
Drone strikes vessel off Qatar; Kuwait intercepts UAVs
A commercial cargo vessel was targeted by a drone early on Sunday while sailing northeast of Mesaieed Port, according to Qatar’s Defense Ministry.

The ship, outbound from Abu Dhabi, sustained a limited onboard fire, but no injuries were reported, the ministry said.

Separately, Kuwait’s military said it detected multiple hostile drones in its airspace at dawn and responded in line with standard procedures. No further details were provided.

Kuwait’s armed forces said they remain fully prepared to safeguard national security and protect residents.


IDF says reservist Alexander Glovanyov killed in Hezbollah drone attack in northern Israel
An IDF reservist was killed in a Hezbollah drone attack in northern Israel yesterday, the military announces.

The slain soldier is named as Warrant Officer (res.) Alexander Glovanyov, 47, a driver in the Transport Center’s 6924th Battalion, from Petah Tikva.

During the attack, several explosive drones launched by Hezbollah struck in Israeli territory, close to the border with Lebanon. One of the drones killed Glovanyov, according to an IDF probe.
Hezbollah launches rockets, drone at IDF soldiers
The Israeli Air Force on Sunday intercepted several rocket salvos fired by Hezbollah at ground troops operating in Southern Lebanon, the military said.

The Iranian-backed terrorist organization also launched an unmanned aerial vehicle, which was “identified in the area in which IDF soldiers are operating in Southern Lebanon,” the Israel Defense Forces said.

“In accordance with protocol,” no air-raid sirens were activated, it added. The military’s statement did not specify whether there were any casualties in the attacks.

Earlier on Sunday, the IDF said that this weekend, Israeli forces struck more than 40 Hezbollah terror infrastructure sites and killed over 100 terrorists belonging to the Iranian proxy in Southern Lebanon.

“The infrastructure sites struck were used by Hezbollah terrorists to advance and carry out attacks against IDF soldiers operating in Southern Lebanon,” the army said. “The IDF will continue to operate against threats directed at Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, in accordance with directives from the political echelon.”
Hezbollah airs drone footage showing strike on Iron Dome battery in northern Israel
The Hezbollah terror group on Sunday published footage it said showed an Israeli Iron Dome battery being hit in an explosive drone attack last week, as cross-border violence between Israel and Lebanon continued throughout the day ahead of an expected third round of direct talks later this week.

The dramatically stylized clip, dated Friday, May 8, shows a first-person view drone approaching an Iron Dome battery as a number of IDF soldiers stand nearby, seemingly unaware of the incoming threat. Hezbollah claimed the attack occurred in the Western Galilee near the Lebanon border.

The IDF had not previously publicized any such impact. It did not comment Sunday on the Hezbollah video.

The terror group has made frequent use of small first-person view (FPV) drones in its attacks on Israeli troops. Some of the drones are guided using a spool of fiber-optic cable, which makes them immune to efforts to electronically jam their signal.

Hezbollah claimed on Friday to have launched a swarm of drones at a sensitive Israeli military base in northern Israel. In a statement, the terror group said it targeted an air traffic control base that sits atop Mount Meron, around eight kilometers (five miles) from the border.

The military said Friday that two soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, by a drone impact in Israeli territory adjacent to the Lebanon border, not in the Meron area. It is unclear if it was the same incident shown in the Hezbollah clip.


WATCH: Israeli forces arrest Palestinian terrorists in Samaria, find IEDs
Israeli security forces arrested two terrorists in the Samaria village of Burqin last week, leading to the discovery of explosive devices intended for use against Israeli soldiers, the Israel Police said on Sunday.



Undercover Israel Border Police officers, operating alongside the Israel Defense Forces and acting on intelligence provided by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), detained the suspects during a raid in the Jenin-area village, according to the police statement.

During questioning, one of the suspects admitted that explosives intended to target Israeli security forces had been hidden at his home, per the statement.

Border Police and military forces located the explosive devices, which had been concealed inside fire extinguishers and gas canisters, over the weekend.

Bomb disposal units destroyed the IEDs in a controlled detonation.

TV host pushes back over Gaza claims made at Sydney rally
Sky News host James Macpherson criticises claims made at a pro-Palestinian event in Sydney, saying they are not supported by wider reports and coverage coming out of Gaza.

“While I was at a Pro-Palestinian event in Sydney last Tuesday, being told the Israelis were starving Gazans to death while systematically exterminating them from the face of the earth … Gazans were limbering up for fun runs, waxing surfboards and cheering at football matches,” Mr Macpherson said.

“None of this denies the destruction, the displacement, or the very real human cost of war. It is not a comedy, and pretending otherwise would be grotesque.

“But so too are claims of an ongoing genocide when reports coming out of Gaza at the weekend clearly show otherwise.”




Jewish students at UK universities sent death threats
Jewish students are being followed home, screamed at and sent death threats by their peers at university, a report into anti-Semitism has revealed.

Students at University of Birmingham, University College London (UCL), Royal Holloway University and City St George’s, which is part of University of London, said they had faced a barrage of anti-Jewish hatred on and off campus.

The allegations form part of a wave of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate incidents that have swept across British university campuses since the Oct 7 terror attacks.

A dossier compiled by the charity StandWithUs UK and obtained by The Telegraph details an extensive list of incidents, as well as anti-Israel activities that have made life hostile for Jewish and Israeli students.

It comes amid a spate of anti-Semitic attacks in London, including the alleged attempted murder of two visibly Jewish men in Golders Green and the firebombing of four ambulances operated by a Jewish organisation.

The report details the sustained campaign of intimidation against Evaldes Barstys, 22, a student at Royal Holloway, after he set up an Israel Society in his third year.

Shortly after the freshers fair, the history student said he started receiving anonymous phone calls from people saying they were watching him.

In one, callers made fun of his “funny little hat” (referring to his religious headcovering). In another, the caller allegedly threatened to attend Jewish Society events and beat up students. At one point, bullies read out his full university address and said “we are coming to get you”.

Mr Barstys was also sent threatening texts and even received death threats.

The messages, which have been seen by The Telegraph, include: “calm yourself f----t Jew bag”, “I am gonna murder this racist p----k” and “tell me where he lives and where I can find it, leave it to me”.

Mr Barstys also claimed that two girls left used pads and tampons outside his university bedroom, in retaliation for his perceived pro-Israel views.

He added that individuals left sticky notes on his university corridor stating: “We are watching you Israeli” and we are “coming for the Israelis”. Mr Barstys is not Israeli, but Israeli students live on his corridor.
UC Law SF says it ‘vigorously’ supports free speech rights, after student gov encourages students to buy keffiyehs to wear at graduation
University of California Law San Francisco, a public school formerly known as the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, is defending its student government, after the latter reportedly used a school listserv to encourage graduates to buy and wear keffiyehs to graduation ceremonies this month.

Bill Kisliuk, chief communications officer at the school, told JNS that “no mandatory student fees or college funds were used.”

“UC Law SF is deeply committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive environment on our campus and to combating all forms of discrimination, including antisemitism,” Kisliuk said. “At the same time, we vigorously support our community members’ free speech rights.”

The school “complies with and enforces all relevant federal laws, state laws and campus policies, so that every member of our community can participate fully in college activities,” the spokesman told JNS. “When we receive a complaint, we immediately investigate it and reach out to the affected parties to provide support and resources.”

StandWithUs wrote to the school’s leadership on May 7, alleging that the student government used university resources and tools supported by mandatory student fees to promote a “solidarity with Palestine” campaign ahead of the May 11 graduation.

“Some Jewish students at UC Law San Francisco already feel compelled to conceal their Jewish identity out of concern for their safety, including refraining from wearing visible symbols such as Star of David necklaces,” the Jewish nonprofit stated.

“This campaign, which used university resources to promote a controversial political message, raises serious concerns about UCSF Law’s political neutrality and about the equal treatment and inclusion of Jews and Israelis on campus,” the leadership of StandWithUS wrote to the school.


Abbas Holding Palestinians Hostage with Western Help
The West has helped Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, 90, keep the Palestinian people "hostage," Fatah political leader Samer Sinijlawi told the Jerusalem Post on Thursday, referring to the president who has held his position for 21 years. "I don't have any hard feelings towards Israelis, none. I have lots of hard feelings towards the West that keeps seeing us [Palestinians] as not 100% human beings who deserve democracy and internal human rights and keeps endorsing and embracing a leader who has been proving that he is a burden on his people for years."

Like many held in Israeli prisons, he learned to speak Hebrew during his five-year sentence for throwing stones at Israelis during the First Intifada. Sinijlawi described how his ideology shifted during his detention, a shift he thinks Palestinian society should make. Part of this change would mean direct dialogue with Israel and a recognition that Palestinian freedom depends on Israeli security. "The only way to achieve things with Israelis is to try to convince them, touch their hearts and minds, and make them see that we are a qualified partner to achieve a solution for this conflict."

He said Abbas "does not explain that if we, as Palestinians, did not place Israeli security as the basis of our national strategy, we would not proceed. And we do it not because we are doing them a favor, but we do it because it is the only way to achieve our national interest. You cannot promote the two-state solution and deny the historical rights of Jews in this land....It's not only the textbooks. It is the narrative that this leadership is continuing to push and does not have the guts to tell the Palestinian people that we should think differently."

Sinijlawi explains that the "pay-for-slay" payments were a mistake. The "Palestinian leadership could say, 'From today on, we are not paying anything. So we are totally against any violence. Those who would like to resort to violence, it's up to them.'"

Moreover, while educators and healthcare workers have had to settle for a fraction of their pay and reduced working hours, the PA has continued spending 35% of the national budget on security forces so that there is now one law enforcement officer for every 49 civilians, a ratio not seen in successful economies.
Abbas seen positioning son for Palestinian leadership, dismaying those seeking new blood
A series of announcements by official Palestinian Authority institutions this month have ignited speculation that Yasser Abbas, the millionaire son of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, may be being positioned to vie for his aging father’s post.

The younger Abbas, 64, holds no formal position within the PA, has never participated in Palestinian politics and spends most of his time outside the West Bank.

Yet official statements in recent days have detailed meetings Abbas recently held with the commander of the Palestinian police, the governor of the Palestinian central bank, and the leadership of the Palestinian Pension Authority, which oversees pensions for public-sector employees, among other sit-downs.

The communiques name Abbas as “special presidential envoy,” though the PA presidential office never formally announced appointing him to such a role.

The sudden thrusting of the elder Abbas’s son into the center of Ramallah’s politics and policy has stoked angry suspicions that the 90-year-old Palestinian leader is seeking to groom him as the next leader of Fatah — the party that controls the PA — after 20 years of holding onto power by refusing to hold elections.

The son, who spends most of his time in Canada, has made a fortune in recent decades via a number of companies he owns in the telecommunications, contracting, and finance sectors.


Police charge woman after alleged antisemitic abuse at Sydney game
Police in Australia have charged a woman after an alleged antisemitic incident that occurred at a children’s sporting event in Sydney on Saturday.

“A woman will face court charged following an alleged offensive language incident in Sydney’s east yesterday,” New South Wales Police said in a statement on Sunday.

Police said that officers were called to to netball courts on Fitzgerald Avenue in the beachside suburb of Maroubra east of Sydney just after 10 a.m. Officers responded after reports that a woman made offensive comments toward a group of people during an under-12 netball game between the Jewish-led Maccabi Netball NSW and Saints clubs, and issued a move-on direction to the 42-year-old after speaking with her.

“Following inquiries, about 12.30pm today (Sunday 10 May 2026), the woman was issued with a Court Attendance Notice for use offensive language in / near public place / school,” the statement said. “She is due to appear before Waverley Local Court on Wednesday 17 June 2026.”

The woman allegedly said “f**k the Jews” and “they should have all been eradicated,” according to local media reports.

Adam Dinte, president of the Maccabi club, said in a statement to club members that the organization was aware of a “deeply distressing antisemitic incident that occurred ... involving Jewish players and families from our club.”

“What took place was completely unacceptable,” Dinte continued. “Jewish players, parents, coaches, administrators and supporters have the right to participate in community sport safely and confidently, free from racism, abuse, intimidation or vilification.”


Longtime ADL head Abe Foxman remembered as ‘the kind of leader that all of us aspire to be’
Abraham “Abe” Foxman, a towering figure in Jewish communal life who led the Anti-Defamation League for nearly three decades, and whose personal story as a hidden child during the Holocaust gave him a unique gravitas in dealing with issues of Holocaust memory and anti-Jewish bias, died on Sunday, the ADL confirmed. He was 86.

Foxman was born to Polish Jewish parents in present-day Belarus in 1940. As a toddler, his parents placed him in the care of his Catholic nanny, who had him baptized and raised him in the church. After being reunited with his parents at the end of World War II, the family moved into a displaced persons camp in Austria. In 1950, when he was 10 years old, the family immigrated to the U.S.

His early childhood experiences shaped the trajectory of his life. Foxman joined the ADL in 1965 as a legal assistant, becoming the organization’s national director in 1987, a post he held until his retirement in 2015. He was succeeded by Jonathan Greenblatt, who serves as the group’s CEO.

Foxman was named to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s council by President Ronald Reagan in 1987, a role he was reappointed to by Presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. In recent years, Foxman was the only Holocaust survivor to serve on the board, which now includes a number of children and grandchildren of survivors.

Met Council CEO David Greenfield, who met Foxman while serving on the New York City Council, said the longtime ADL head “really shaped modern Jewish leadership today.”

Foxman, Greenfield said, “was the kind of leader that all of us aspire to be. … I really believe he set the standard, and everyone is still chasing that standard. There was only one Abe Foxman.”

In his years at the ADL, Foxman built deep relationships with his staff. Jay Kaiman, the president of the Marcus Foundation, was hired by Foxman to head the group’s operations in the Southeast. That relationship endured long after Kaiman left the organization, he told JI.

“He was my compass,” Kaiman said. “He was invaluable to me as a resource all those years, and he had a lot to offer.” Foxman, Kaiman added, “really was a mentor to so many people.”

After stepping down from the ADL, Foxman remained active in Jewish communal life. “He really did love his work,” Kaiman said, “and he never stopped working, even if he wasn’t the ADL director. He was the epitome of being the professional’s professional.”
Abe Foxman, 86, longtime ADL head and Holocaust survivor, for whom fighting Jew-hatred was ‘deeply personal’
Abraham Foxman, a Holocaust survivor and national director of the Anti-Defamation League from 1987 until 2015, died on Sunday. He was 86 years old.

“America and the Jewish people have lost a moral voice, a passionate advocate for the Jewish people and the State of Israel, and a remarkable leader,” stated Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and national director of the ADL. “Abe Foxman was an iconic Jewish leader who embraced the ideal of an America free from antisemitism and hate and who strongly believed that these scourges could be defeated if good people opposed it.”

“In his storied career, Abe transformed ADL while confronting antisemitism and hate—from both left and right—opposing the global rise in antisemitism, holding world leaders accountable and working to ensure that Israel was Jewish, secure and democratic,’ Greenblatt stated. “Abe’s voice was heard, and listened to, by popes, presidents and prime ministers, a voice he used wherever Jews were at risk.”

“Abe Foxman spoke on the global stage with moral authority and clarity and was relentlessly dedicated to his pursuit of a world without hate,” he added. “Abe understood the power of words. He often said that the Holocaust did not begin with bricks and mortar and gas chambers, but rather, it began with words. From this foundational principle, he made education and anti-bias training a cornerstone of ADL’s work, just as ADL would stand in opposition to hateful rhetoric and violent bigotry, whatever its source.”

William Daroff, CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told JNS that he had known Foxman for a quarter of a century.

“Throughout that time, he was extraordinarily generous as a mentor and adviser to me. He offered guidance and encouragement at many phases of my career, including during my time at the Conference of Presidents,” Daroff said. “Abe combined toughness and warmth in a way that few leaders can. He expected seriousness, spoke with moral clarity and pushed younger leaders to think bigger about our responsibility to the Jewish people.”

It stood out to Daroff that Foxman “never treated the fight against antisemitism as abstract or academic.”

“For him, it was deeply personal, rooted in his own life story as a Holocaust survivor,” he told JNS. “Yet he carried that experience not with bitterness but with purpose. Every conversation with Abe Foxman reinforced the idea that leadership requires courage, urgency and the willingness to speak out when others remain silent.”

Isaac Herzog, president of Israel, called Foxman a “legendary leader of the Jewish people, a champion of justice and equality and a longtime, dear friend of mine.”

“Coming into a world at war, the Holocaust shaped Abe’s character and defined his mission: combating antisemitism and hypocrisy, calling out racism and bias, speaking up for the Jewish people and the Jewish democratic Israel,” Herzog stated. “His story, of rising from the ashes, is our story, the story of our people.”
