The Syrian jihadist government has been consolidating its power by systematically attacking the minorities — Alawites, Druze, and the Kurds — in the country. It has just taken over the Kurdish-majority city of Qashmili, and has forced the dismantlement of the Kurdish autonomous region in northeast Syria, with the Kurdish militia of the Syrian Democratic […]
Turkish Media’s Overwhelming Support for Hamas
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hates Israel. He has in the past suggested the formation of a pan-Islamic army to launch an attack on the Jewish state, leaving no doubt as to whom he thought best qualified to lead such an army. As a Sharia-adherent Muslim, he has used his office to undo the secularism […]
Netanyahu: If Saudis want normalization deal, ‘we expect them not to align with anti-Israel forces’
The world seems largely to think that Israel is so eager for normalization with Muslim countries that ordinary conditions don’t apply. Saudi Arabia has already made it clear repeatedly that it considers no normalization possible without Israel’s return to its pre-1967 borders (aka “the Auschwitz borders”), and the Saudis also expect that East Jerusalem would […]

Foxes sign up to guard henhouse: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan and Qatar join Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’
This will only ensure that the jihad against Israel in Gaza will continue indefinitely, while Trump pats himself on the back for concluding a sham “peace” and lobbies ever harder for the Nobel Peace Prize. Back in 2016, Trump said: “Anyone who cannot name our enemy, is not fit to lead this country.Anyone who cannot […]
Turkey Hosts a Secret Meeting of the Muslim Brotherhood

Syrian army takes Al-Hol camp, which houses Islamic State jihadis, from Kurdish forces
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) reliably oversaw the al-Hol camp for years. The Syrian military under jihadist president Ahmed al-Sharaa cannot be trusted. The SDF also has for years urged the U.S.-led coalition to take responsibility for the facility’s security, which would have been to the region’s (and world’s) benefit. Incidents at Al Hol […]

Trump’s Betrayal of the Kurds
Next to the Jews of Israel, it is the Kurds who have been the most loyal and effective allies of the United States in the Middle East. It was the Kurds who helped the Americans defeat the Islamic State (ISIS) in both Syria and Iraq; it was the Kurds who took on themselves the task […]
