In The Voting Booth, You Won’t See Its Name on the Ballot… But Make No Mistake, Israel Is There

If you’re like most Americans, you’ve had plenty on your mind leading into the midterms—inflation, immigration, healthcare, artificial intelligence, the economy, the Iran war, and control of Congress. But another issue has risen to the top of the nation’s agenda: Israel.

Not long ago, Israel enjoyed bipartisan American support. Disagreements about Israeli policies and the two-state solution arose, but Republican and Democratic politicians routinely managed to pledge joint support for the valuable U.S.-Israel relationship.

Now, that goodwill is eroding. The 2026 primaries demonstrated how dramatically Israel has moved from the margins to the center of American campaigns, highlighted last summer by the hyperfixation on the Jewish state that dominated Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens.

Why Are European Elites Destroying the West?

Brandon Holthaus - https://brandonholthaus.com/why-are-european-elites-destroying-the-west/

I recently returned from England, where my time in Oxford and conversations with remnant believers sharpened concerns that have grown during other visits to Ireland, Scotland, Amsterdam, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and France. These encounters have left me deeply troubled about Europe’s spiritual direction. A continent shaped by Christianity increasingly seems embarrassed by the faith that helped form it, while Christians who still believe the Bible find themselves defending truths their culture once took seriously.

My conclusion is that influential political and cultural leaders are actively advancing a post-Christian Europe for Globalism. I believe the weakening of biblical authority and national identity serves a globalist vision of power increasingly removed from ordinary citizens.

Capability: The Lost Key to World History? The Real Difference between Western and Non-Western Crimes

 Capability: The Lost Key to World History? by Raymond Ibrahim

In many ways, Columbus Day, which recently passed, has become emblematic not just of the accusation that Columbus was a racist who inaugurated a genocidal campaign against the natives, but a reminder that virtually all Europeans preceding the great era of “woke” were horrible people.

For example, during the summer of 2020, following the death of George Floyd, not just Columbus’s statues but the statues of many traditional heroes of Western and American civilization were attacked on the accusation that the men they represent were all racists and somehow involved in or approved of the slave trade of Africans.

The problem with this otherwise entrenched view is that it completely ignores one central fact: If Europeans were aggressive or exploitative of nonwhites, that is not because they were intrinsically violent or intolerant (a racist point, incidentally) but simply because they were able to.

And that’s the virtual bottom line of all world history: Capability. Europeans did not defeat and uproot American Indians, enslave Africans, and colonize the rest because they lived according to some sort of unprecedented bellicose creed specific to whites and alien to nonwhites. Quite the contrary: they did so because they—as opposed to natives, blacks, etc.—were able to do so. That is the fundamental difference.

Consider: Had pre-Colombian American Indians developed galleys for transoceanic travel, or firearms, or compasses, or organized military structures and stratagems; and had they arrived on the shores of, say, “Dark Age” Europe—what would they have done? Would they have conquered and subjugated, or would they have looked at the pale savages and “respected” them in the name of “diversity,” leaving them wholly unmolested?

European diplomats attacked by Israeli settlers in West Bank

  A delegation of European diplomats has been attacked by masked Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.

Belgium condemned the assault on its consul general and the other envoys and called for Israel to bring those responsible to justice.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also condemned what they called "the severe act of violence" and said they were investigating.

But the office of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cast doubt on what happened and suggested it was part of a "coordinated campaign to smear Israel".

The attack came only a day after a number of Palestinians and Heidi Levine, a Washington Post photographer, were injured in a separate assault by settlers in another village in the West Bank.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the attack on Levine was "disturbing" and "not a good look".

It was also condemned by the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who called it a "despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards". A staunch ally of Israel, Huckabee said the assailants must face "prosecution to the fullest extent of the law".

China tells Israel to stop 'forced establishment' of West Bank settlements

  Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has told Israel to stop its "forced establishment" of settlements in the West Bank and reverse its actions, his office said.

The "Palestinian question" is "the greatest historical injustice of this century", Wang told Israeli President Isaac Herzog in a face-to-face meeting on the sidelines of a conference in Azerbaijan on Thursday.

Beijing has been a long-standing supporter of the Palestinian cause and has maintained that a "two-state solution" is the "correct direction". It has also been positioning itself as a mediator for conflicts in the Middle East.

In 2023 Beijing brokered a deal to restore diplomatic ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia after years of hostility. Earlier this year, it was part of efforts, along with Pakistan, to propose a ceasefire in the US-Israel war against Iran.

Beijing's efforts to tackle the war in Gaza have focused on Palestinian unity.

In 2024 Beijing got rival Palestinian factions to agree to form an interim "national reconciliation government" for the occupied West Bank and Gaza after the war with Israel, although it was never implemented.

Now, Wang says the "immediate priority" is to fully open access to Gaza and stop the continued spread of a "humanitarian catastrophe".

China is willing to work with the international community to get the parties to return to dialogue and "seek a political solution to the conflict", he said.

In a post on X, Herzog said he was "pleased" to meet Wang and their talk "focused on the relations between our countries and the situation in the Middle East".

"I emphasised Israel's desire for peace in the region, alongside the strategic threats to our security, first and foremost from Iran and its terror proxies," he wrote.

China maintains close ties with Iran and is the biggest buyer of Iranian oil, which had previously come under US sanctions because of Tehran's nuclear programme.

Trump waives several Russia sanctions as row with Zelensky intensifies

  Donald Trump has blocked numerous sanctions on Russia two days before they were due to take effect, as a row with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky deepens.

The sanctions were passed by the US Congress and signed into law by Trump in September.

But the US president issued an executive order on Friday night saying that suspending some was in the US "national interest", prompting a backlash from US lawmakers. Zelensky said it was unfortunate the US has decided to "completely disregard" the sanctions.

Relations between Washington and Kyiv frayed after the US struck a controversial deal to import Russian diesel. Ukraine then accused the Trump administration of withdrawing key military support.

Trump and Zelensky have exchanged sharp words about one another. Ukraine's president declared it was nice to be among "real leaders" while addressing an EU summit, after Trump said Zelensky was "more difficult to deal with" than Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The new US sanctions law took aim at Russia's economy, giving Trump broad powers to levy tariffs of up to 100% on imports from the top five purchasers of Russian oil and gas – most significantly China and India.

It also included sanctions against senior Russian figures, including Putin, as well as Russian financial institutions and Moscow's so-called "shadow fleet" of vessels used to circumvent existing embargoes. Many of these provisions have now been waived by Trump.

Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev called the waiver "an important and truly historic moment". Posting on X, he said the sanctions would have inflicted "serious damage" primarily on the US and global market, and that economic cooperation benefits both nations.

Bill Gates Is Back, He Wants to Take Control Of AI, And He Is Warning That “A Lot of Negative Surprises” Are Coming in the Next Year

by Michael Snyder - https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/bill-gates-is-back-he-wants-to-take-control-of-ai-and-he-is-warning-that-a-lot-of-negative-surprises-are-coming-in-the-next-year/#google_vignette

Not him again. We all remember what happened the last time around, and now Bill Gates is warning of another major crisis that he wants to help fix. Personally, the thought of putting Bill Gates in charge of anything important makes me queasy. I wouldn’t even hire him to mop the floors of a Dairy Queen. But even after all of the revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, there are a lot of people out there that still trust him, and the big networks keep putting him on television. Now he is positioning himself as the savior of the AI industry, and that should deeply alarm all of us.

Fox News is reporting that Bill Gates is strongly considering using his vast personal fortune to create an “AI safety framework” in order to “help steer the technology in a better direction”…

Microsoft founder Bill Gates may take a more active role in AI safety by raising the issue more openly with business leaders and potentially using his own wealth to help steer the technology in a better direction, Axios reported Thursday.

Israel Divided—For Now

by Bill Perkins - https://compass.org/israel-divided-for-now/

Here is a quote from a great recent article written by Prophecy News Watch.

For students of Bible prophecy, there is something extraordinary about this moment [in time].

After nearly two thousand years without an independent Jewish state, Israel has been reestablished. Hebrew has been revived as a national language. Jewish communities from around the world have returned to their ancestral homeland.

Yet political restoration has not produced spiritual unity. Israel faces more than political division.

From secular Israelis to ultra-Orthodox communities, from growing calls for a rebuilt Temple to the expectations surrounding the Messiah, competing visions are shaping the nation’s future.
