United Torah Judaism declined Thursday to recommend either Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form Israel’s next government, declaring that it was not committed to either political bloc as President Isaac Herzog continued consultations following last week’s Knesset elections.

The close Israeli election was rocked by the arrest of seven Muslims, most of them activists with the Islamic ‘Ra’am’ or United Arab List’ party who were reportedly caught with envelopes containing tens of thousands of shekels that were allegedly being used to bribe voters.< !–more–>At the same time, Central Elections Committee chair Noam Sohlberg, who is also a Supreme Court justice, asked the head of Israel’s domestic security agency, the Shin Bet, to investigate foreign funding reportedly coming from Qatar that fueled a record turnout by Muslim voters.
“Serious suspicions have been brought before me concerning improper influence on the elections through foreign funding provided by external entities acting against Israel’s interests,” Sohlberg said.
The real-world implications of this are easy to see as in some Jerusalem neighborhoods under Islamic occupation since the Arab Muslim invasion, occupation and attempted genocide of 1948, turnout shot up from 16% to 55% in one neighborhood and from 37% to 68% in another. In Umm al-Fahm, a major Arab Muslim settler city near Haifa, turnout went from 38% to 75%.
This led to record results for Ra’am, a branch of the Southern Islamic Movement, which, like Hamas, is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, and some of whose candidates have defended Hamas and celebrated Oct 7. While liberals have hailed Ra’am’s participation in Israeli politics as proof that coexistence is possible, like most Brotherhood operations, the group just functions as the political wing of a Muslim Brotherhood operation to take over Israel by any means.
The original military wing of the movement was Usrat al-Jihad. When that was broken up, Ra’am came under the wing of the Islamic Support Committee, which was shut down for supporting Hamas, and was replaced by Igatha 48: a non-profit where key figures support Hamas, and whose senior figure was one of those arrested in the alleged election bribery case.
Igatha 48 was supposed to have been dissolved after it was caught passing money to a Hamas operation in Turkey. The foreign funds used for election bribes came through Qatar and Turkey.
Qatar is a state sponsor of both Hamas and its Muslim Brotherhood parent organization.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has already described the election as stolen and the controversy serves Qatar’s interests. Either the left-wing anti-Netanyahu bloc forms a government with the support of the Muslim Brotherhood, giving Qatar a direct role in the Israeli government, or the Brotherhood is shut out, allowing Qatar and its agents of influence to paint Israel as an ‘apartheid state’. Either way, Qatar wins.
But Israel’s election interference crisis also serves as a warning for American elections.
The ‘Uncommitted’ strategy by Islamists seeking to gain leverage over the Democratic Party in the 2024 election mirrored the role that the Muslim Brotherhood plays in Israeli politics by using its minority status to impose a veto on liberal parties, alternately offering and denying them political support, in order to extract concessions and gain influence over them.
Muslim Brotherhood groups have benefited from foreign funding, including from Qatar, groom and fund political candidates, abusing mosques for voter turnout operations, and moving money between ‘charitable’ arms and ‘political arms’… not to mention the terrorist arms. CAIR, linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, operates a PAC, the Unity and Justice PAC, an ‘Action’ arm, and a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and is an unindicted co-conspirator in terror funding.
Foreign money has been flowing into U.S. elections for some time due to the lack of oversight on non-profits that play political roles, as well as foreign investment capital coming into companies that enrich Muslim donors to PACs. The lack of regulation and enforcement in the United States puts it far more at risk than Israel is for foreign election interference from Qatar.
And we are not ready for it.
But there are things that we can learn from Israel about cutting off financial foreign influence.
A decade ago, Israel passed a law requiring non-profit NGOs that get at least half their money from foreign governments to disclose this fact. The media and international leftist groups campaigned against the law without ever being able to provide a good reason why they opposed having political non-profit groups disclose that they’re funded by foreign nations.
The Washington Post slurred the law, which had been passed by a democratically elected legislature, as “deeply anti-democratic”. The European Union, which had been funding many of these domestic anti-Israel groups, issued a statement, urging Israel to “continue to promote its active NGO sector and to refrain from actions which may complicate the space in which civil society organisations operate.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu, however, pointed out that the law “prevents an absurd situation in which foreign countries interfere in Israel’s internal affairs by funding organizations without the Israeli public’s knowledge.”
That same absurd situation however continues to exist in the United States where groups funded by China, the EU and Qatar are able to freely operate and interfere in our politics.
Israel began stemming the flow of foreign money being moved through non-profits while the United States has allowed not only the Muslim Brotherhood but also Communist China, to operate foreign funded non-profits in the United States. The lack of regulation and oversight means that we don’t know to what extent the Israeli election scenario could repeat in the U.S.
The Muslim donors behind Zohran Mamdani whose PAC, misleadingly named ‘American Priorities’, elected Islamist congressional candidates like Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy, a former translator for the Blind Sheikh terror leader, and Dariazila Avila Chevalier, who celebrated the Oct 7 attacks, has been making headlines because three of its key donors came out of AppLovin: an exploitative AI ad-tech surveillance company whose second-largest shareholder has reported ties to Communist China, show what kind of for-profit risks are possible.
And CAIR, whose Unity and Justice PAC, is also a key player, is getting its D.C. HQ financed by the Islamic Development Bank co-owned by Iran, Qatar and the Saudis, is also raising red flags.
While Israel copes with its foreign election interference crisis, it may be worth asking whether the record Muslim turnout in Dearborn, Michigan, which doubled from 2024, to back Abdul El-Sayed was wholly organic, and whether Qatari or any other foreign money played a role.
And what America can do to make sure that foreign enemy money stays out of our elections.
The foundational premise that the Jewish people serve as the “canary in the coal mine” for Western civilization has been validated across centuries of geopolitical upheaval. When a society begins to tolerate, rationalize, or ignore the targeting of its Jewish population, it signals a systemic breakdown of democratic norms and the impending rise of extremist ideologies.
France is burning; so are Brussels, Milan, and Turin. Barbarians run wild beneath Palestinian and Algerian flags. Politicians are impotent, law enforcement is helpless, and the media lament the “difficult conditions” these “poor children” face in their schools. If this is not yet a total collapse, it is certainly the harbinger of one.
General Amir Avivi describes Trump’s call to end US investment in Israeli defenses as having a great deal of misinformation surrounding it. He challenges that it was more related to an Israeli initative than that of the Americans, noting that Israel must demonstrate itself as being a fully sovereign nation and ergo must provide the economic basis of its own defenses. Also, he notes that by moving the association between Israel and the US from aide to partnership will lead to a much healthier rapport between the nations, emphasizing that the funds America sets aside for Israel to use in US military purchases is a small amount.
PELONI: We should note that these remarks by Vance are no less than the formation of his own platform on running for election in the 2028 election. What he fails to acknowledge in making the case here against Israel and the war is that his position entails the rudimentary elements of Tucker Carlson’s commentary over the past many years, in which Israel is the answer to every problem, even while he ignores the more profound problems which exist in the formulation of the policy which discriminates against Israel for being a faithful and sincere ally while ignoring the more profound consequences of maintaining America’s association with Turkey and Qatar which has not only warped America’s foreign policy into forgoing any attempt at victory with the support of Kurdish ground forces in Iran, but has also maintained the normalized quiet regarding the tolerance of the Muslim Brotherhood inside the United States, even as Trump made this topic a key element of his campaign against Sayed and other Democrats. Indeed, if Trump had moved to act against the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates, both in the US and outside the US, it would have given far greater substance to his references to the Muslim Brotherhood as the terrorist and jihadist movement which it actually is. So, as Vance is pivoting to push his own candidacy to be Trump’s successor, he is adding his weight to the claims of Tucker Carlson that the Jew of Nations is at fault, and even invents the claim that Republicans are at fault for having voted the Democrats into power as implied evidence that the Republicans must chase after America’s Jew Haters if it is to have any hope of political success in the future. And as he is doing so, he is placating the Iranians with promises of renewed negotiations which only means that at some time down the line, America will be facing a nuclear Iran as it is overburdened by Islamist power brokers inside its political establishment and while it remains tied to Islamist nations such as Qatar and Turkey, but all will be fine so long as the Israelis and their Jewish American supporters are alone isolated from having any input into the American government. Jew Hatred is truly a mind virus which consumes the most essential aspects of rational thought.
When former Trump voters were asked what would convince them to return to the Republican Party, their four leading answers were ending the war, addressing inflation and the cost of living, putting America first, and changing America’s relationship with Israel.
Vice President JD Vance pointed to growing voter frustration with America’s relationship with Israel and blamed the war with Iran for Republicans’ sweeping midterm election defeat, revealing that even voters who supported President Donald Trump in 2024 turned against the party over its foreign policy.
PELONI: Joan Swirsky offers an important glimmer of hope for a long term consequence to this short term electoral disaster. Teaching moments are important, and like when you were young, and came to be in an auto accident because you were driving too fast, or too irradically, or while too distracted, the lesson learned had a lasting effect. So, we will wait and see how far the Democratic control over the US legislature will bring America to resemble the fall of London and Paris, and how well the recent election choices will teach the future selves of Americans who voted to de-Americanize America that liberty is worth fighting for, and that the lesson of the canary in the coal mine has implications for far more than just the canary. Time will tell if this lesson might be learned in the coming years, but until that time for certain, America has allowed the fusion of its Marxist and Islamist enemies to rise to significant positions of power, and doing so will have a penalizing effect with only the presidential pen standing in their way of seeing America devolve further into the insanity which is today gripping and terrorizing all of Europe today.
The midterms’ results look ugly, but don’t lose heart.
Whether by a persuasive public relations campaign or suspect voting machines or a true attraction to socialism and communism and jihadism, the American people have spoken and have proven, not for the first time, that emotions are more powerful than the intellect.
Insistence on incorporating openly seditious Arabs into a new government is self destructive. Opinion.

Many polls notwithstanding, the results of our recent election are not a great surprise in the sense that no clear majority has been won by either the Coalition or the Opposition.
PELONI: Recall what I have stated before: what begins in Washington never stays in Washington. So election “irregularities” become regularly ignored, and there is no such thing as election fraud even amid investigative findings by security official who are are simultaneously tasked with, and limited by, requests for them to investigate the possibility of election fraud…

Reports: Shin Bet Chief Zini Clashes With Officials Over Election-Funding Probe
Shin Bet Director David Zini wants to dig deeper into suspected foreign funding in Israel’s October 27 election, and he is meeting resistance from inside his own agency and from its lawyers, according to reports in The Jerusalem Post and JNS.
President Trump says the Iran war exacerbated Republican losses in this year’s midterms but emphasizes he would have done it again, as he promises to work with the new Democratic majorities in both chambers of Congress.

President Donald Trump blamed the Republican Party’s sweeping defeats in Tuesday’s midterm elections partly on the war with Iran and his own absence from the ballot, while insisting that he had no regrets about his administration’s policies and expressing a willingness to cooperate with the incoming Democratic congressional majority.
UPDATE: El Sayed declared victor in Michigan. Look forward to him being the next transformative presidential candidate forced on the American public. The American Republic is facing perhaps its greatest threat.
UPDATE: Democrats declared victors in Texas, South Carolina, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, Maine, and North Carolina Senate races.
PELONI: Prepare for a renewal of a Washington style civil war which gave rise to a presidential election theft, an unveiling of biochemical warfare on the world’s population, and multiple layers of lawfare directed at the US president, his appointees, and his supporters…oh yes, and egregious and unwarranted attacks on Israel as well.
Democrats will take control of both chambers of Congress early next year as voters overwhelmingly on Tuesday rejected President Donald Trump’s policies that led to rising energy and other costs.
THERE NEVER WERE A PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, STATE, COUNTRY, CULTURE, CIVILIZATION IN HISTORY! JEWS ARE THE ORIGINAL PALESTINIANS! THE OTHERS ARE ARABS FROM EVERYWHERE: LEBANON, SAUDI, JORDAN & EGYPT.
THERE WAS NO GENOCIDE IN GAZA – NONE, NADA, ZILCH!
The former President of the Int’l Court of Justice said, “The ICJ did NOT claim or find that Israel committed a genocide…. They didn’t even find it plausible that genocide has taken place.” TRANSLATION: USEFUL IDIOTS!
The consul general position in Detroit is a key post for the Lebanese government given the large Lebanese presence in the area, centered around Dearborn and Dearborn Heights.
The top Lebanese diplomat in Detroit, who attended an Arab American banquet in support of Abdul El-Sayed and other Democratic candidates last week, praised Hezbollah’s 1983 suicide attack on the U.S. Marine Corps barracks, which killed 241 American service members, in social media posts unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Ibrahim Charara serves as Lebanon’s consul general in Detroit, an important role since there is a large Lebanese population in the Detroit area.
PELONI: The greatest failure of Trump’s administration was in not securing the election process, despite his strong and unending effort to do so. The consequence of this, of course, is that elected officials are selected rather than elected, and the will of the American people is being stolen in broad daylight with no consequences at all. Notably, not a single individual was charged with any malfeasance associated with the 2020 election rigging, and that too has strengthened the appeal to those who are situated with the means of changing the will of the people into the will of the elites.
Americans should not have to navigate an obstacle course to cast a ballot. This is by design and always in key battleground states and swing districts.
In Maricopa County, power outages temporarily closed two voting locations Monday; in Nevada’s Washoe County, a printing error put “FALSE” on roughly 32,000 ballot return envelopes, alarming voters even though their ballots appear to remained valid; and in Philadelphia, officials are urging voters to resolve identification problems and defective mail ballots that could otherwise go uncounted.
The participation of the anti-Zionist Arab parties in Israel’s parliamentary elections is a multiple travesty of law, of reason, and of basic common sense.
The recent elections have highlighted the precarious condition of Israel, its security and its ability to preserve its Jewish character.
PELONI: There is a rising threat to Israeli security in the aftermath of the Israeli elections and likely this will be exacerbated by what comes in the wake of the American election. The advantages gained in Iran and Gaza are daily being lost as these societies, which are founded on the principle of conquering Israel and destroying its people, are able to regroup, rearm and return to fight another day, as the US continues to be influenced by the Muslim Brother led nations of Qatar and Turkey, even as the Muslim Brotherhood remains a repeated talking point in the US elections.
Trump is unlikely to launch an all-out war to topple Iran’s regime, something he refrained from doing when he had the chance six months ago. The US will not wait for Israel, and neither will Iran or the Arab world.

In recent weeks, we have lost sight of developments along our borders, in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, and have even forgotten about Iran. We have become consumed by a political whirlwind that has paralyzed any serious thought or action, military or diplomatic, in response to the challenges confronting us.
