If you haven’t been glued to the headlines, let me catch you up before CNN and the UN finish chiseling Israel’s tombstone. Israel is knee-deep in Gaza once again, this time bulldozing into Gaza City after months of firefights with Hamas. It’s messy, bloody, and about as “civilized” as a bar brawl at 2 a.m.…
Palestinian Statehood: Hope or Hazard?
A fresh Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that most Americans now support international recognition of a Palestinian state, which is a striking shift in public opinion. For many, the heartbreaking humanitarian crisis in Gaza has stirred compassion, with recognition seen as a step toward justice and lasting peace. Yet others voice serious concerns: terrorism, weak governance, and…
Modern Jews and the Birth of Israel: Debunking Myths and Misconceptions
Let’s tackle two stubborn questions head-on, the kind that buzz around the internet like mosquitoes you can’t quite swat: Are modern Jews truly the descendants of the ancient Israelites? Did the Rothschilds secretly mastermind the creation of Israel as part of some hidden world-domination plot? If you’ve stumbled across these claims, congratulations! You’ve dipped your…
Liberty or Liability? The Case of Mohsen Mahdawi and the Battle Between Free Speech and National Security
The recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford to release Columbia University student activist Mohsen Mahdawi from ICE custody has stirred up a national hornet’s nest. With tensions already high on college campuses over the Israel-Hamas conflict, this decision has thrown gasoline on the fire, igniting debates about free speech, immigration enforcement, antisemitism, and…
Free Speech Isn’t Terrorism — But Supporting Terrorism Absolutely Is
In today’s political circus, it’s getting harder and harder to separate what’s real from what’s just noise. But when the federal government arrests a foreign student near Boston, accuses her of supporting Hamas, and revokes her visa, it’s not just another Twitter argument. This time, it’s serious — and it deserves an honest, careful look.…
Truth and Tragedy in Gaza
It’s hard to watch the news coming out of Gaza without feeling a deep sense of sorrow. Israeli forces have resumed ground operations in the Gaza Strip, and the airstrikes have taken a heavy toll on Palestinian lives. War is ugly, brutal, and heart-wrenching, and no one should take lightly the loss of innocent life.…
Trump, Columbia, and the Fine Line Between Security and Free Speech
President Trump’s administration recently made a bold move, cutting $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University over what it described as antisemitic harassment on campus. At the same time, U.S. immigration agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student involved in pro-Palestinian protests, as part of a broader crackdown on anti-Israel activists. These actions…
Hamas’ Cruelty on Full Display: A Wake-Up Call for the West
The latest display of Hamas' depravity—the public spectacle of returning hostage remains, some mislabeled, others locked in coffins with missing keys, all while Palestinian crowds cheered—should erase any lingering illusions about who and what Israel is fighting. This was not an act of war; it was an act of raw, calculated evil. The sheer cruelty…
The ICC vs. U.S. Sovereignty: A Christian Conservative Perspective on Global Justice, Hypocrisy, and Israel
President Trump has responded decisively to the ICC’s overreach, imposing sanctions on its officials after they issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Unfazed, the ICC has doubled down, insisting on its authority while receiving unwavering support from European nations, the UN,…
Trump’s Reckless Gaza Plan: Foolish, Yet Hints at a Larger Truth
Donald Trump is, if nothing else, consistent. His latest proposal to take control of Gaza and rebuild it as an American project is just the latest example of his signature blend of brash, thoughtless rhetoric and occasional accidental insight. The suggestion that the United States, fresh off the disastrous occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, should…
