Rather than a distant historical event, the rise of Islamists and woke leftists who hate America and the West is a reminder of what’s at stake in the clash of civilizations.

GOP Jews want to support their party’s possible 2028 candidate, and he wants their backing. But if he won’t disavow Tucker Carlson and his followers, then they can’t trust him.

Under pressure to support El-Sayed, Michigan’s Jewish Attorney General betrayed her people by urging Jews to sacrifice their survival in favor of “the needs of the world.”

“The Daily Caller,” founded by Doha homeowner Tucker Carlson, is trying to smear JNS for highlighting the troubling connection between his Islamist allies and the veep.

Democrats want their Michigan Senate candidate to disavow his podcaster pal. The problem is that most on the political left have already embraced his Jew-hatred and lies.

The veep informally began his 2028 campaign with a fundraiser hosted by Tucker Carlson’s financier. It’s not too early to start thinking about how to defeat him.

The hard-left faction is organizing and winning elections, even if many in the party don’t agree with them or share their antisemitism. They will take it over in 2028 if not stopped now.

Notable victories have been achieved against campus Jew-hatred. But the Maryland congressman wants to stop the DOJ from turning the tide against woke discrimination.

Far-right followers of Tucker Carlson are failing across the board with Republican voters. In most Democratic contests, antisemitic DSA candidates continue to thrive.

The Democrats’ Senate leader may have had no choice but to endorse El-Sayed following his primary victory. Business as usual has normalized Jew-hatred.

The Michigan primary was a referendum on the Jewish presence in the public square. The consequences of normalizing his antisemitism will impact much more than the pro-Israel group.

Blaming the Jews for a crisis in a Spanish enclave in Morocco shows how “genocide” blood libels spread. Meanwhile, Europeans face a real problem: Muslim immigration.

The Second Intifada massacre, like the slaughter on Oct. 7, stands as a grim reminder of the folly and hubris of the makers of peace plans and deals with terrorists.

When Israelis ask Washington to take action against Jews in Judea and Samaria, they are ignoring the context of Arab terrorism and attempting an end run around democracy.

Jewish liberals blame the prime minister for the collapse of support for the Jewish state because it absolves them of not stopping the antisemitic left from hijacking their party.

Ordinary political speech isn’t incitement to violence. But anti-Zionism—the core purpose of the mayor’s career and that of his followers—delegitimizes Jewish rights and existence.

The president’s refusal to appease Tehran, along with his insistence that Riyadh recognize Israel if it wants a nuclear program, are potential political liabilities. But both stands are right.

The challenge is not so much mindless hatred of fellow Jews as a willingness to acknowledge the existential threat posed by contemporary Jew-haters.

New York’s mayor isn’t going to arrest Israel’s prime minister. But the widespread belief in the “genocide” blood libel illustrates how toxic ideologies, AI and social media are defeating facts.

In a week when the majority of House Democrats abandoned the Jewish state, the vice president served as a reminder that the GOP’s lockstep pro-Israel stand is not set in stone.

The California congressman’s Judean misadventure was an attempt to boost his long-shot presidential hopes and move on from his sponsorship of the disastrous Graham Platner.

The Michigan Senate race tells us more about the future of the Democrats and the centrality of antisemitism in our public discourse than the demise of the disgraced Graham Platner in Maine.

The veteran politician foolishly thinks that he can carve out a middle ground for 2028 between antisemitism and “blind” support for Israel by recycling the two-state solution.

The prospects for two Pennsylvania Democrats paint a dismal picture. And right now, it’s difficult to envision the party nominating a presidential candidate who supports the Jewish state.

If the United States is lost to the woke left or the woke right, the consequences for Jews and the world are unimaginable. Now isn’t the time to write it off.

The younger generation’s opposition to a “genocidal” Jewish state has become one of the organizing principles of U.S. politics. But these toxic beliefs have nothing to do with the actual place.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio are pursuing competing approaches to Iran and Lebanon. Is this a genius grand strategy or destructive chaos?

In Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Party, only those who bend the knee to antisemitic ideology have a place. Is this the end of an era for American Jewish life?

Whether he succeeds in getting a “peace” agreement with Iran or not, the vice president’s attempt at appeasement isn’t going to help him or President Trump.

Back in 2015, the GOP and most Americans opposed Obama’s appeasement of Tehran. Now, Democrats are against Israel on any issue, and Republicans will not defy Trump.

The damage that Israel and the United States did to the Islamist terror regime was undone by an agreement that rewards Tehran and vindicates former President Barack Obama.

Cultural elites backing the newspaper’s ludicrous claim about Israelis training dogs to rape Palestinian Arabs should be condemned. Not those with the guts to call them out.

If he concludes a nuclear deal with Iran that is, at best, only marginally better than Obama’s, then the implications for the Middle East and his presidency will be devastating.

Dubious leaks about the Jewish state spying on America signify an effort to break up a valued alliance by those whose motives are rooted in antisemitic conspiracies.

The president’s mercurial approach to the conflict with Iran is frustrating and potentially disastrous. But compared to Kamala Harris, Jerusalem and American Jews are still better off.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s absence from New York City’s annual Israel Day shindig was appropriate. But efforts to deny his antisemitism by citing a skewed poll point to deeper problems.

Pearl-clutching about the veteran journalist possibly being sent to the New York consulate misses the point. The Jewish state needs bold advocates more than traditional diplomats.

Reform Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch is challenging his movement to stop ordaining anti-Zionist clergy. Yet his colleagues don’t want to make hard choices about leftist antisemitism.

While the future of the GOP as a pro-Israel party may be in doubt, right now, the Democrats are mainstreaming anti-Zionism and Jew-hatred.

Groups like J Street and Jews who support New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani aren’t just criticizing Jerusalem. They are assisting a globalized intifada against their own people.

“The New York Times” and its enablers are counting on the public’s short attention span and “suicidal empathy” of liberal Jews to bury Nicholas Kristof’s lie about rapist dogs in Israel.

The anti-Trump congressman from Kentucky is blaming his primary woes on Israel and Zionist billionaires. And the liberal press and Jew-haters everywhere are cheering for him.

The resistance to President Donald Trump’s celebration of the Sabbath in the semiquincentennial is partisan folly and denial of the importance of religion in U.S. history.

"The New York Times” publication of absurd blood libels and conspiracies requires more than polite protests. Those who defend it or won’t shame and shun it are also to blame.

While leading the ADL for three decades, he epitomized many of the best things about the community he defended. But Jewish liberalism’s failures cloud his legacy.

The red-green alliance of Marxists and Islamists is fueling hatred for Jews and Israel among young people, while giving Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly a new audience.

Mainstream support for Senate candidates like Graham Platner and Abdul El-Sayed reflects both panic about Trump and the acceptance of antisemitism.

Attempts to separate the movement to accomplish the genocide of half the world’s Jews in Israel from attacks on them elsewhere have zero credibility.

Given enough time, a combination of economic and military pressure may be enough for Trump to topple the Islamist terrorists. The question is whether he has it.
