Israel is in the headlines, evoking tumultuous debate. Yet one topic remains largely unmentionable, so let me gingerly raise it: Is it time to think about phasing out American aid for Israel down the road?

This is not about whacking Israel. But does it really make sense for the United States to provide the enormous sum of $3.8 billion annually to another wealthy country?

I don’t think any change should happen abruptly or in a way that jeopardizes Israeli security. The reason to rethink American aid is not to seek leverage over Israel — although I do think we should be tougher on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is extinguishing any hope of a two-state solution and is, in the words of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, “determined to degrade Israel into a corrupt and racist dictatorship that will crumble society.”

Oddly in agreement with Caroline Glick but for different reasons …

Israel and the new America – It’s time to wean Israel off U.S. military aid.

… The analysis focused on Robert Malley, Biden’s envoy for negotiations with Iran and Obama’s chief Middle East strategist, who was recently compelled to leave his position due to undisclosed security breaches.

The article showed first that Malley is the product of a radical anti-American upbringing. Second, it demonstrated that Malley’s radical views have become the establishment views of the Democratic Party.

Malley’s father Simon Malley was a leading advocate and true believer in Leninist anti-imperialism, which perceived the U.S. and its allies—as well as the Jews of Israel—as evil corruptors of mankind. Malley’s father championed anti-American Third World dictators and terrorists including Yasser Arafat as paragons of the new humanity who would purify the world of its Western imperialist roots

The Governor General’s four-day visit to Iceland last fall racked up over $71,000 in limousine costs, according to receipts from the trip.

One of three suspects wanted in last week’s brazen daylight murder of a married mother of two in Toronto’s Leslieville neighbourhood has been arrested.

Damian Hudson, 32, of Toronto, is charged with second-degree murder in the July 7 shooting of Karolina Huebner-Makurat.

After 18 months in power, the coalition government of the Netherlands, led by World Economic Forum (WEF) favorite Mark Rutte, has collapsed.

With agreement impossible to reach between the four ruling parties over the vexed question of immigration policy, the country faces calls for new elections.

Whilst this development appears to favor the anti-immigration Party for Freedom (PVV), led by Geert Wilders, another party is likely to make a major impact.

In September 2024, less than two months before the next U.S. presidential election, the United Nations will host a landmark “Summit of the Future,” where member nations will adopt a Pact for the Future. The agreement will solidify numerous policy reforms offered by the U.N. over the past two years as part of its sweeping Our Common Agenda platform.

Although there are numerous radical proposals included in the agenda, perhaps none are more important than the U.N. plan for a new “emergency platform,” a stunning proposal to give the U.N. significant powers in the event of future “global shocks,” such as another worldwide pandemic.

A former sheriff’s deputy has gone on trial charged with failing to protect students when a gunman opened fire in 2018 at a school in Parkland, Florida.

Scot Peterson was the on-duty police officer during the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

He is the first US officer charged with failing to respond to a school shooting, says the National Association of School Resource Officers.

The 60-year-old could receive up to 97 years in prison.

U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., is revealing his true colors and they’re not flattering.

Murphy was a guest on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday when he ominously and recklessly warned of a “popular revolt” if the U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t rubber-stamp an unconstitutional gun control agenda that he and the Biden administration are attempting to force on the American people. This dangerous rhetoric would be labeled “seditious” or “treasonous” had a Republican lawmaker uttered it. So far, there has been deafening silence by those same lawmakers that rightfully decried the Jan. 6 violence on Capitol Hill. That doesn’t excuse the senator’s remarks that seem to offer a wink-and-a-nod to those who would seize the moment to lash out at best or at worst invite and incite violence against the government institutions that protect the rights of American people.

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine on Saturday said it had used the U.S.-made Patriot air defense system to shoot down a Russian hypersonic missile in the skies over the Kyiv capital region — demonstrating that it now has the ability to thwart one of Moscow’s most-feared weapons.

The Vatican is cracking down on ‘mystics’ who claim they can communicate with the Virgin Mary, after a woman has amounted hundreds of followers with claims that the Madonna has been making free pizza.

Gisella Cardia, 53, has drawn huge crowds to her monthly trances on a hill top in Trevignano near Rome, where she stands in front of a statue of the Madonna that she claims sheds tears of blood.

It looks like things may get really messy between Tucker Carlson and Fox News.

Apparently, Fox News has created a secret “oppo file” on Carlson, just in case he decides to take any legal action against them. According to a report from Rolling Stone, eight individuals at Fox News confirmed the existence of the file, which could be used to tarnish Carlson’s reputation if he doesn’t play nice after separating from the network.

MONTREAL — King Charles III’s first months on the throne have shown he’s a monarch who will take an active role in different causes and is ready to engage with the public, royal experts say, but he still has work to do to win over a skeptical Canadian public.

His Mom was a tough act to follow. But Charles is eco-woke that won’t win hearts and minds.

If you, like me, are sick to death of people on both the left and the right being called Nazis. Then you know that to this point, most of these have been mere inaccurate epithets. I have been shaken in recent days by this. It is an excerpt from a legal document issued by a Military judge in Nazi Germany. The full document is quoted in the remarkable book The Good Old Days: The Holocaust as Seen by Its Perpetrators and Bystanders. The document is guidance issued in a case against an SS soldier being tried for shooting Jews without official authorization.

Earlier today …

Two women were killed in a terrorist shooting attack in the Jordan Valley Friday morning, with a third woman critically wounded.

An army spokesperson said the attack occurred near the Israeli town of Hamra, and that the IDF has launched a manhunt for the terrorists responsible for the shooting.
