Saudi Arabia rewards 1000 Palestinian jihadis with free Mecca pilgrimage
Much talk has circulated about Saudi Arabia reforming, but this increasingly appears to be more to wishful thinking from Westerners than a genuine reflection of what is really happening inside the country. Saudi Arabia is, in fact, reportedly becoming more true to its Wahhabi origins, rife with gross human rights abuses and now rewards for […]
Is Israel Dragging the U.S. Into Another Regime Change War?
New in PJ Media: Matt Gaetz, the former congressman and Donald Trump’s first choice for attorney general, claims that Israel is trying to coax the U.S. into entering a regime-change war in the Middle East.

Eighty countries claim that Israel is indifferent to civilian deaths: “Delegation of 80 UN members sign declaration saying Gaza faces the ‘worst humanitarian crisis,’” Jerusalem Post, May 23, 2025: The countries also reaffirmed that “accountability for violations is essential,” adding “Alleged violations of IHL and alleged human rights violations and abuses in armed conflict must […]
UK, France and Canada warn Israel about sanctions over ‘intolerable Gaza suffering,’ Netanyahu responds
The people of Gaza are indeed suffering tremendously, but their suffering is to be blamed on the real culprit: Hamas (Harakat al-Muqāwama al-Islāmiyya, or the “Islamic Resistance Movement”).
