A prophecy and a warning On the 23rd of September, 1980, I was in the home of the founder of Israeli intelligence, Isser Harel, with the senior adviser to Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Reuben Hecht. I asked Harel if terrorism would ever come to America. He looked at me and said: “In America you kill
The Influence of Ideology Many in the younger generation today say, “I’m not an antisemite. I don’t have any problems with Jews, some of them are my friends. I’m just against Zionists.” What they are really saying is that they are against the Jewish state. They believe they have found truth. They believe they are
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former Republican congresswoman from Georgia, alleged that Donald Trump had to make a deal with Israel to be elected president. The truth is much simpler, and it needs to be said clearly. Donald Trump did not make a deal with Israel. He made a deal with Evangelicals. The Evangelical covenant When
“Follow the money” originated as a line from the 1976 film All the President’s Men. It was spoken by the character Deep Throat to Bob Woodward as a guide to solving the Watergate scandal.

Ayatollah Khomeini referred to his 1988 decision to accept a ceasefire ending the eight-year Iran-Iraq War as “drinking the poisoned chalice.” Khomeini said that, facing crippling economic pressure, isolation, and military setbacks, he saw no other choice.

In the 1930s, Father Charles Coughlin used his massive radio platform to pump toxic antisemitism into American homes. He wrapped his hatred in the language of patriotism and populism, masking bigotry as enlightenment. Today, Tucker Carlson has taken up that same dark mantle. His tactics, his rhetoric, and his fixation on Jewish conspiracy theories follow
One of the most strategically sophisticated conflicts of the 21st century has unfolded, marked by advanced intelligence and cyberwarfare, and resulting in the removal of key leaders from one of the world’s most dangerous regimes. Those theocratic bullies seized control of Persia and turned life for its people into a living hell, imprisoning them in
The phrase “Orphan Pearl” was coined in the 1960s by an Iranian author, referring to Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, which is a heavily fortified Iranian oil terminal. It was called the “orphan of the pearl” because of its solitary location. Today, it stands as the heart of Iran’s oil industry. This is not
