Britain’s dangerous moral failure: The threat to boycott Jewish communities  

Once again, Britain’s political leaders have completely lost their moral compass when it comes to Jews and Israel.

British government plans to boycott Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria (aka the ‘West Bank’) must be condemned. The U.K. policy echoes some of the darkest periods of recent Jewish history, and the British action must be called out as hateful and dangerous. Once again, Britain’s political leaders have completely lost their moral compass when it comes to Jews and Israel.

Pakistan Sits Between Beijing and Washington, and Jerusalem Should Be Watching Closely

When American and Iranian negotiators finally sat down in the same room in Islamabad in April 2026, the choice of venue surprised almost everyone outside the region. Pakistan is not a traditional Middle East power broker. It has no seat at the Gulf Cooperation Council, no historic role in Arab-Israeli diplomacy, and a domestic political system so dominated by its military that most Western chancelleries treat it as an afterthought.

Politics Special | Lahav Harkov  

See the discussion of the final lists at the bottom.  This current election is gearing up to be his most difficult challenge yet.  With the High Court having effectively driven a split between the haredim parties and Netanyahu, along with Winter insisting he will not sit with the haredim who have not served in the IDF, it will be a difficult task for the PM to pull out another victory in the coming election cycle.  This likewise also spells for a difficult election of the national camp.  Nonetheless, as Gil Hoffman explains, you can never count Netanyahu out.  So we will see.

IDF launches drill ‘Breaking Dawn 2.0’ amid heightened threats from Iran  

All Israel News Staff | Published: September 6, 2026

The IDF on Sunday launched “Breaking Dawn 2.0,” a surprise drill designed to test the military’s ability to respond to an unexpected, large-scale, multi-front attack amid growing concerns about potential Iranian-backed aggression against Israel.

The exercise came a day after media reports emerged of plans allegedly uncovered by Israeli intelligence for an Iranian-led attack on Israel from several directions simultaneously, coordinated with the remnants of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen and IRGC-backed Shi’ite militias in Iraq.

US envoy Kushner says Israel acting ‘a little irrational’ in Gaza due to elections, affirms agreement on outcomes  

Peloni:  Kushner previously suggested a timeline which would have Hamas disarmed within a month and yet nearly a month has passed and not a single gun has been collected.  Proof lies in the proving and Kushner once again has failed to do more than offer failed promises in place of concrete actions, while distracting the public with  descriptions of Israelis as being a little irrational, which risks undervaluing the work of those in Israel who are trying to help Gazans who want to leave. 

Rather than promising disarmament that will never materialized, Kushner’s negotiating efforts might be better directed towards helping Gazans who want to relocate to actually do so. Indeed if the goal is to find a better future for the Gazans it would warrant US support to help move them outside of a city-wide war zone.  Hence, it is worth asking why U.S. support for the movement of Gazans has been intentionally withheld. International law treats forced displacement as a war crime, but it is equally worth considering whether forcibly keeping people inside a war zone—where they are exploited by a recognized terror group as human shields—deserves the same scrutiny. 

A constructive path forward would see US backing for Ben Gvir‘s proposal for voluntary emigration from Gaza, incorporating Avi Abelow‘s suggestion of shortening the timeline from seven years to as quickly as logistically possible, while also leaving Israel free to fulfill the terms of the 20-Point Plan and eliminate the still armed Hamas.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and peace envoy, Jared Kushner, said on Sunday that Israel is being “a little irrational in certain regards” over the situation in Gaza.

Behind Trump’s bets on an economic blockade  

The US president does not want to “repeat the experiment” of another military campaign and would rather pressure Tehran through sanctions and an economic blockade. But Iran could conclude that escalation is preferable to surrender or economic collapse.

To outside observers, the United States’ conduct in its confrontation with Iran can appear aimless, erratic and even chaotic. President Donald Trump’s mood when he wakes up in the morning and starts posting online seems to dictate what happens on the ground: One day, the United States appears headed for an all-out offensive that would wipe Iran off the map; the next, it is pursuing an agreement; and the day after that, it is settling for an economic blockade.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS ERASE 9/11: No Jihad, No Islam, America Gets the Blame – History Weaponized  

By

For more than twenty years, I—and a small handful of colleagues—have warned about the lack of education—or worse, the obfuscation and dissembling—surrounding how the events of 9/11 are taught, if they are taught at all, in American schools.

“When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers. Allah said: ‘Strike above the neck, and strike at all of their extremities.’ (9/11 Muslim terrorists)

Gafni and Maklev’s departure — bad news for Netanyahu  

Update: Yossi Baum: “BREAKING: The green light to oust Gafni and MKLAV was given by Rabbi Hirsch already about two weeks ago.”

Peloni:  Moshe Gafni and Uri Maklev are leaving the Knesset as part of a major shakeup within the United Torah Judaism party, with MK Yaakov Asher expected to replace Gafni as the leader of the Degel HaTorah faction instead of MK Yitzhak Goldknopf who is currently leading the joint list in the Knesset. Yossi Baum‘s dire predictions for the national camp follows on this news.

Gafni and Maklev’s departure — bad news for Netanyahu

Screengrab via X

  • Netanyahu should be very concerned. Yaakov Asher is a person who publicly expressed interest in Gantz from the moment he entered politics, has never shown any particular sentiment toward Netanyahu — unlike Gafni — and has no problem sitting with Eisenkot — Gantz’s political successor at the time.

The Jews in Their Land: The Archeological Evidence

Antisemites are in a permanent state of denial. They deny that there was ever a Holocaust. They deny that Jews have been oppressed through time and space. And now, those who hate the very idea of a Jewish state deny that Jews ever lived in the Land of Israel. But the archeological evidence tells a different story: it is full of mentions of ancient Israel, not only by Jews, but also by Egyptian pharaohs. More on the silent witnesses of the Jews’ connection to their land can be found here.
