Forget what they say, watch what they pump. Saudi Arabia officially put out a statement harshly critical of Israel’s air strikes on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. But what do the Saudis actually think? Follow the oil. Israel’s sudden attack on Iran has threatened to disrupt oil supplies in the Middle East, placing the Opec+ […]

Arab Trip to Ramallah ‘Called Off’
A bunch of Arab ministers — of all sorts and conditions of men — wanted to visit Ramallah, to meet with President-For-Life Mahmoud Abbas, now in the 20th year of his four-year-term, and to show their support for the supposedly put-upon “Palestinians.” Had they been allowed in, it would have been a media circus, with […]

France, Saudi Arabia, and the UN Are Preparing a Plan to Impose a ‘Palestinian’ State
France and Saudi Arabia, and of course the United Nations, are the three weird sisters hoping to give birth to this thalidomide baby of a state of “Palestine.” Who will draw this state’s borders? And what will happen to the half-million Israelis living in Judea and Samaria (a/k/a the West Bank)? And who will rule […]
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Muslim Terrorist States Are Not Our Friends
Islam commands them to be at war with us. There are two basic types of states in the Sunni Muslim world. 1. Nations 2. Kingdoms Nations are pseudo-modern efforts to create modern nation states.

Prior to October 7, Hamas had a $2 billion annual budget, while “the cumulative net worth of Hamas’s top leaders abroad is estimated at $11 billion.” Hamas has made no secret of its mission: to destroy the Jewish state.

Trump Shocks the World — Again
New in PJ Media: Trump has done it again. That much is clear. He has outmaneuvered and out-thought everyone else, and did what many others assumed to be impossible. But what exactly has he done?

Qatar mobilizes support for Syrian president as Trump to remove US sanctions on Syria in major policy shift
A MEMRI article entitled, “Qatar Continues To Finance Terror With U.S. Consent: Will Fund Syria’s New Regime, Led By HTS Terror Organization, Just As It Funded Hamas,” examined the terrorist history of Syrian leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani, who reverted to his original name Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, to create a false impression that he had changed, even […]
Trump meets with Syria’s al-Sharaa, who led jihad group against Assad
In many ways this is as momentous, and could be more momentous, than Trump’s first-term overtures to Kim Jong Un. The two meetings come from the same wellsprings: Trump is attempting to break longstanding logjams, and end the status quo that the foreign policy establishment, both inside the U.S. and elsewhere, had come to take […]
