Hamas Indifferent to Palestinian Wellbeing
The indifference of Hamas to the wellbeing of those it claims to represent and care about – the Palestinians – is well known. After all, the terror group’s modus operandi is designed to put the Palestinian civilians in maximum peril. In Gaza, Hamas hides its vast store of weapons inside homes, schools, hospitals; it places […]
Poland rebuked for declaring state of emergency at border over illegal Afghan arrivals
It isn’t simply about turning away those in need. Poland isn’t targeting the asylum seekers. It’s seeking to protect its citizens.

UK says it won’t recognize Taliban but ‘sees scope for dialogue’
A stunning show of idiocy. Dialogue? with a jihadist group that murders wantonly and commits the most atrocious human rights abuses? Shame on the UK for aiding in the legitimization of the Taliban, and for taking the Taliban at its word. Jihadists cannot be assumed to be telling the truth to the infidels they despise. […]

The Afghans US evacuated are not Special Immigrant Visa applicants. Who are they?
The Biden regime keeps touting sheer raw numbers to boast about its evacuation success. Aside from leaving Americans behind, it’s unclear whom it did evacuate. The U.S. left behind the majority of Afghan interpreters and others who applied for visas to flee Afghanistan, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday, despite frantic efforts to evacuate […]
Putin: US achieved ‘zero result’ in Afghanistan, fears ‘radical Islam’ will spill into friendly Central Asian states
America under Biden has become a global laughingstock. While China castigated America for its “ill planned” withdrawal in Afghanistan, Putin has opined that America has achieved “a zero result, if not negative” in Afghanistan. At least some of the tens of billions of dollars in aircraft and military equipment that were left for the Taliban […]
India: Many ‘moderate’ Muslims increasingly open about their support for the Taliban
Despite their negative image in popular news platforms, the Taliban is winning support from some Muslims of India. Some are wishing for the Taliban to knock on India’s doors and establish their Islamic caliphate in India as well. The Indian Muslims who have openly declared their support for the Taliban are not a poor, uneducated […]
EU working to prevent recurrence of uncontrolled illegal migration, based on ‘lessons learned’
“European Union member-states are gearing up to counter a possible migrant crisis from Afghanistan”, and they are looking “not to repeat the 2015 migrant crisis which saw nearly one million people cross illegally into the bloc through Greece alone in the span of less than a year.” It is, however, far too soon to congratulate […]
