After Achilles Shield deal, Israeli air defense dominates in Europe as continent races to rearm.
 +
The formal signing of the "Achilles Shield" deal is not only a commercial and diplomatic achievement for Israel, but it is also the final seal on a tectonic shift in Europe's defense landscape.
 +

 +
 +
Europe's accelerating reliance on Israeli air-defense technology has pushed the value of Israeli air-defense deals with European Union countries past an almost unimaginable $15 billion in less than five years, as the continent scrambles to rebuild defenses neglected after the Cold War.
 +
 +
In the 1990s, when Israel accelerated the development of the Arrow missile at Israel Aerospace Industries with American funding to intercept ballistic missiles, Europeans regarded the costly technological effort with indifference.
 +
 +
The Soviet Union had collapsed, the Cold War was over, and European governments redirected defense budgets toward education, infrastructure, healthcare and culture. If anything happened, the United States would protect them.
 +
 +
The formal signing in Tel Aviv of the "Achilles Shield" deal, worth some €3.5 billion, is not only a commercial and diplomatic achievement for the Defense Ministry, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries. It is also the final seal on a tectonic shift in Europe's defense procurement landscape.
 +
 +
But Europe failed to internalize its lesson. When the old threats returned, European countries found themselves with weakened defense industries and an unpredictable American partner that demanded they invest in defense again and made clear that they could no longer simply rely on Washington

Hackers without borders: Serving Tehran, stealing on the side.
 +
Shahed Alavi.
 +
Iran International. Sep 1, 2026.
 +
An Iran International investigation into five hackers linked to the Revolutionary Guards and Intelligence Ministry and wanted by the United States shows how members of the network carried out state-directed espionage while also selling stolen data, extorting victims and attacking Iranian citizens and companies for private profit.
 +
The five were among a network of hackers associated with the Mabna Institute, which carried out operations for Iranian government entities, including the Revolutionary Guards. After the identities of the first members of the network were exposed, some continued their activities from October 2018 under a new operation known as Project Sonbol, which Iran International sources say was directed by the Intelligence Ministry.
 +
On Tuesday, August 18, more than eight years after the first indictment against Mabna was made public, the US Justice Department released a superseding indictment offering a much broader picture of the institute’s hackers-for-hire and their links to the Revolutionary Guards.

Why Jews Must Support Man Who Said "I like to kill Jews."

 +
When it comes to some areas, the media has gone so far in on political advocacy that it filters out, rejects and suppresses any contradictory facts and no amount of appeals to truth or decency will change the lines that it insists on telling.
 +
 +
One such area was the endorsement of pro-Hamas campus activism after Oct 7 where, despite ample evidence that the ‘activists’ supported Hamas and wanted to kill Jews, the media along with leftists and even most Democrats decided to falsely claim that these were “non-violent student activists” facing a “crackdown on pro-Palestinian speech” and turned foreign Islamic activists calling for terrorism and the murder of Jews into ‘martyrs’ who had to be protected from deportation.

Oakland coffee shop accused of kicking out Jewish dad, 5-year-old son and shutters amid antisemitism lawsuits.

A federal judge previously rejected the defendants’ attempt to dismiss the DOJ lawsuit, which alleges Fathi Abdulrahim Harara and employees refused service to Jewish customers wearing Star of David caps and followed them outside while hurling insults and threats...
 +
"It is ironic that after freely expressing support for terrorism with these beverage names, the café owners appear to now be using the First Amendment as a defense for ejecting two Jewish customers who wore hats with Stars of David on them, in one case calling it a 'violent' hat," she said.

"By their own standard, if a hat can be violent, so can an iced tea. The First Amendment protects speech on hats; it does NOT protect businesses open to the public to discriminate against its customers because they're Jews while chasing them in the street shouting 'Jew' at them..

An Oakland, Calif., coffee shop that drew national scrutiny for promoting Hamas and forcibly removing Jewish patrons announced it has closed amid three separate antisemitism lawsuits.

Jerusalem Coffee House shuttered last week, citing the legal challenges brought by the Justice Department, Anti-Defamation League and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law over its alleged harassment of two Jewish customers.

 +
 +
BUCHAREST, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Romanian prosecutors officially indicted social media influencer Andrew Tate on ‌Friday for trafficking minors, money laundering, sex with a minor and witness tampering and his brother Tristan for complicity, years after they began investigating them.
 +
The Tate brothers, former kickboxers with dual U.S. and British citizenship, were arrested in Miami in late July after Britain requested their extradition.
 +
Mainly based ​in Romania since 2017, they have been under criminal investigation in the country on charges including human trafficking ​since December 2022.
 +
Romanian prosecutors said the Tates recruited their victims by seducing them and falsely claiming ⁠to want a relationship or marriage, before forcing them to produce pornographic content for a webcam business.
 +
They have denied all wrongdoing. "We ​will examine every aspect of (the indictment) with the same level of scrutiny and we will challenge any evidential, procedural or legal ​deficiencies through the appropriate judicial process," a Romanian lawyer for the Tates, Eugen Vidineac, said in a statement.

Abdul El-Sayed’s Pedophilia Problem

“We need your voice,” Abdul El-Sayed told a sex offender who had been sentenced to prison for sexually soliciting what he thought was a 14-year-old girl online and then for “distributing child sexually abusive material and multiple counts of accosting children for immoral purposes.”
 +
 +
The sex offender had reinvented himself as an activist against incarceration and claimed that he had suffered, “I was only allowed to have the type of phone without a browser, and several times had my phone confiscated” and argued that the answer “is to address the root causes of crime… address the real problems… like education, lack of economic opportunity.”
 +
 +
“I hope that you’ll run, and I hope that when you do, you’ll find me out and let me have the opportunity to support,” Abdul El-Sayed endorsed his political activism. “We need your voice, folks who are affected by the experiences that you’ve had uniquely need your voice.”
 +
 +
One of the sex offender’s alleged former victims, said that hehad “solicited me as a minor” and that he had “worked with Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed” and together with other politicians made it possible to expunge criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree and “removing rape from 17-24 year old’s permanent record.” The anonymous victim posted that “Abdul helped lead the decarceration movement. He was the president of the non-profit Michigan United.”
 +
 +
Abdul El-Sayed had served as the president of Michigan United aka the Michigan Organizing Project as part of a board with a number of Muslim figures including Aamina Ahmed of AAPI Rising, appointed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to head Protect Michigan, Senegalese immigrant activist Fatou-Seydi Sarr and Dearborn Magistrate Judge Rula Aoun.

You are a soldier, tasked with searching a house for a suspected terrorist and hidden weapons. The house is full of women, children, and an elderly, sick, bedridden man.

How do you proceed? Do you force the man out of bed immediately to complete a thorough search, or do you slow the search to treat him with kid gloves, possibly endangering your soldiers?
 +
On August 9, according to Ynet, “The IDF raised the level of authorization required for certain strikes as high as the chief of staff, effectively requiring political approval in some cases. Commanders were also recently given explicit instructions to halt immediate-response fire, except in cases involving the removal of a direct threat.”
 +
Per Hillel Biton Rosen, military and security correspondent for Channel 14, just days later Hamas operatives were identified crossing the Yellow Line ceasefire demarcation in Gaza, where they stole engineering equipment. Soldiers requested authorization to engage, but senior command denied the request.

The incursion was just one of more than 65 crossings, three times the number recorded the week before the rules of engagement changed.

A senior security official said: “Hamas is testing us, exactly as it did before Oct. 7. What happened last night could have ended with a soldier being abducted.”

Lebanese Sunni leader criticizes Hezbollah over reported Israeli capture of Ali al-Taher ridge.
 +
Prominent Lebanese Sunni leader Fuad Makhzoumi sharply criticized Hezbollah following Israeli reports of capturing the Ali al-Taher ridge. "If the report about the fall of the Ali al-Taher ridge is true, it means you preferred to hand it over to Israel rather than to the Lebanese army," Makhzoumi stated. He accused Hezbollah's weapons of preventing the Lebanese army from entering its own land while failing to stop Israel from capturing it. Makhzoumi called on Hezbollah to hand over weapons to the state, saying residents of Jabal Amel are losing their land while Shiites in the south pay with their homes and children's future.

Huckabee pulled out his phone and filmed Jewish settlers.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee met with American citizens living near Ramallah, pulled out his cellphone to film Jews near the area.
 +
Israel National News. Sep 5, 2026
 +
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Saturday visited the Palestinian Authority city Turmusayya, located near Ramallah, meeting Americans in the area.
 +
 +
During his visit, Huckabee heard the Americans' stories, and filmed, using his cellphone, Jewish settlers who neared the area where one of the homes bore an American flag.
 +
 +
Sources who attended the event told Channel 12 News that Huckabee promised to personally send the footage to US President Donald Trump so that he could see for himself the settlers' attempts to "disrupt" his visit.
 +
 +
Following the visit, Huckabee wrote on X, "Visited Americans in Turmusayya in constructive town hall to hear disturbing stories of criminal & terrorist actions by band of trespassers who brazenly roam through property of lawful property owners like these guys. Disgraceful acts that don't reflect 99% of Israelis."
 +
 +
"US Citizens in Turmusayya shared personal stories of homes vandalized, children threatened, & violence/intimidation during my town hall today. I support Israelis living in Judea/Samaria where they have right to be, but NO student of Bible supports lawlessness."
 +
 +
He added that a "large press group turned out to cover my trip to Turmusayya today to meet Americans living there. Decent law-abiding Israelis living in Judea/Samaria are also disgusted by behavior of the few who violate civil law & Torah by violence & lawlessness."

9/11 Families Plan to Ignore Mamdani at Ceremony.
 +
By Solange Reyner  |  Saturday, 05 September 2026 12:46 PM EDT
 +
 +
Relatives of people killed on Sept. 11 say they will ignore New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani if he attends this year's memorial ceremony at Ground Zero, telling the New York Post they would rather turn away than confront him on the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
 +
 +
A Change.org petition urging that Mamdani stay away has drawn more than 98,000 signatures. Organizers plan to hand deliver it to City Hall on Sept. 8, at a news conference on the building's steps led by petition organizer Giovanni Galante and Councilwoman Joann Ariola, a Queens Republican.
 +
 +
Galante's wife, Grace, 29, died in the attacks. He told the Post that no one intends to block the mayor or argue with him.
