The Saudis are giving out mixed signals on Iran. The de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, assured the Iranians more than a week ago that he would not let Saudi airspace be used by the Americans for an attack on Iran.

Palestinian Authority Official Denounces Its Systemic Corruption
It is one thing when Israel denounces the Palestinian Authority for its corruption, and for its continued support for terrorism through its “Pay-For-Slay” program, that rewards past, and incentivizes future, acts of terrorism. The PA is riddled with corruption; President Mahmoud Abbas set the unhappy example, for he and his two sons Tarek and Yasser […]
Israel and the Syrian Threat
While Ahmed al-Sharaa, who has traded his combat fatigues for a suit and tie and insists he wants peace with all of Syria’s neighbors, has clearly taken in the Americans, from Ambassador Tom Barrack to President Donald Trump, the Israelis have not been fooled.

What Almog Meir Jan Learned as a Hostage: ‘There Are No Innocents ln Gaza’

Of course, the BBC presenters wouldn’t want to specify exactly who was killed in the Holocaust. That might create greater sympathy for Jews, or worse […]
The Media’s Obsessive Coverage Ascribes to Israel a Negative Significance It Does Not Possess
An examination of the world media’s obsessive coverage of Israel can be found here: “Why global media obsess over Israel and ignore deadlier wars – opinion,” by Samuel J. Hyde, Jerusalem Post, January 13, 2026: If news coverage were meant to be a rational analysis, this is not. Even if news were merely supposed to […]
Daughter of Senior Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran Fired From Emory Medical School
Ali Larijani is a member of Iran’s senior leadership, and a relentless enforcer of the crackdown on Iranian protesters that so far has led to the deaths of 36,500 and the wounding of 330,000. He rants against the Great Satan, America, and even more against the Little Satan, Israel. Two weeks ago, he insisted that […]
