El-Sayed on Carlson praise: MAGA ‘eating itself’
by Finya Swai 09/22/26 10:39 AM ET.
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) said President Trump’s MAGA movement is “eating itself” after conservative commentator Tucker Carlson praised the progressive while tearing into his GOP opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers.
El-Sayed was asked Monday about Carlson’s comments on the race earlier this month, when the former Fox News host said he “wouldn’t vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint” and propped up El-Sayed’s “Trumpian” campaign.
“Look, Tucker and I don’t agree on much, but we definitely agree on what he just said,” the Senate hopeful said in an appearance on CNN’s “OutFront” with host Erin Burnett. “I think what you’re seeing here is MAGA eating itself.”
He argued that some supporters of Trump’s “America First” movement were turning against Republicans who they believe are abandoning its principles, particularly on foreign policy as the U.S.’s unpopular war in Iran nears the seven-month mark.
“Those who believe in the ideas — the idea that we should have America first, that we shouldn’t go to wars that we shouldn’t be fighting, those who believe in just basic principles,” the progressive added.

Spain Allows US Extradition Case Against Anti-Israel Donor to Proceed.
By Reuters and Algemeiner Staff.
September 22, 2026
Spain on Tuesday allowed a US extradition request for anti-Israel donor James Cox Chambers to proceed to court, despite protests from the government’s left-wing coalition partners who argue the case is politically motivated.
The case is politically sensitive for Spain‘s Socialist-led government, whose anti-Israel stance has drawn rebuke from the Trump administration and contributed to wider tensions with Washington.
Chambers, 41, an American multimillionaire media heir known as Fergie, was arrested at the request of US authorities on July 10 while on holiday in Ibiza. He is currently in pre-trial detention in Madrid.
A self-described anti-imperialist and communist, Chambers has called in interviews and on social media for the destruction of the United States. He received $250 million after divesting from his family’s media conglomerate, Cox Enterprises, in 2023, his spokesperson said.
Chambers has donated over $1 million to humanitarian causes in Gaza and paid legal fees for some members of the activist group Palestine Action, according to his legal team.
The group was designated as a terrorist organization by the US and UK for its actions which include targeting Israel-linked defense companies by blocking entrances and spraying paint..

Someone who represents a country whose past is bound up with the gravest crimes against humanity and the Jewish people dares to level a false accusation against the Jewish state, which is still fighting a jihadist axis that relentlessly tries to eliminate it.
Of course, no Austrian citizen should be held responsible for the vile nonsense uttered by their President.

Lapid slams UN chief: You ‘looked the other way’ when Jews couldn’t be blamed.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid on Wednesday accused U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres of ignoring mass deaths around the world “because the Jews couldn’t be blamed.”
Lapid was responding to Guterres’s claim to the United Nations General Assembly that he had “never seen killing and destruction like Gaza” in his nine years as secretary-general.
“According to even the most critical reports,” Lapid wrote on X, “70,000 people were killed in the war in Gaza, a large proportion of them Hamas terrorists.”
He noted that more than 600,000 people were “massacred or starved to death” in Ethiopia during Guterres’s tenure. In Yemen, 377,000 died, a figure he said appears in U.N. reports. Lapid also cited 150,000 killed and 12 million displaced in Sudan, and “hundreds of thousands” buried in Ukraine.
“You didn’t see it? They died before your eyes. You simply looked the other way, because the Jews couldn’t be blamed,” he wrote.

Judea and Samaria leader demands Macron apologize to terror victims’ families.
Yesha Council chairman Yisrael Ganz demanded on Tuesday that French President Emmanuel Macron retract his remarks on Israel and apologize to the families of terror victims.
Ganz, who also heads the Binyamin Regional Council in southern Samaria, was responding to Macron’s claim at the U.N. General Assembly in New York that the Hamas terror group “has never operated” in Judea and Samaria.
Ganz called Macron a “terror denier” and said the French president was taking “fake news to a new high.”
The statement cited the murder of Netanel Shukrun, a French citizen who was shot by a Hamas terrorist in Samaria earlier this week.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday criticized Jordan’s King Abdullah II after he invoked international law and Palestinian rights at the U.N. General Assembly, pointing to Jordan’s 1988 decision under King Hussein to strip Palestinians residing in Judea and Samaria of Jordanian citizenship.
“In July 1988, on the orders of his father, King Hussein, Jordan collectively and unilaterally revoked the citizenship and rights of Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria,” the ministry said, adding that those affected lost political and other civil rights.
“Tell us more about international law,” the ministry said.

Gaza Health Ministry Data Shows Men of Fighting Age Dominate Death Toll.
A breakdown of the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry's own fatality list shows young men heavily overrepresented, while women and young children are underrepresented relative to Gaza's population.
By Gila Isaacson — Sep. 23, 2026
[https://images.jfeed.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=contain,width=1200,quality=80/2026/09/23/2cdfa700-b71f-11f1-b0f2-a7c39f9d52d8__h581_w1200.jpeg].
A demographic breakdown of the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry's own fatality list is circulating widely on social media. It shows that men of fighting age make up a far larger share of the dead than their share of Gaza's population.
The chart compares the ministry's list of identified fatalities from October 7, 2023 through May 7, 2026 against U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for Gaza, broken down by age and sex. The list contains 72,835 names.
The pattern is stark. Adult men, especially those between 18 and 45, along with older teenage boys, appear far more often on the list than their share of the population would predict. Women and young children appear less often. Males aged 15 to 45 make up about 45.7 percent of listed deaths but only about 24.7 percent of the estimated prewar population. Among Gazans aged 20 to 39, roughly 3.2 to 3.6 men died for every woman.
The overall figures point the same way. Of the 72,835 names, 36,067 are adult men, 11,733 are adult women, 12,803 are boys and 8,834 are girls. Another 2,089 are elderly men and 1,309 are elderly women. That means adult men below retirement age account for nearly half of all identified fatalities, while children make up about 30 percent. Gaza's population is young: before the war, about 47 percent of Gazans were estimated to be under 18.
The chart was shared on X by the account @jew_viking (https://x.com/jew_viking/status/2102641102016639412). He argued that the data undercuts accusations of genocide against Israel, adding that genocide would be expected to kill women, young children and the elderly at or above their share of the population. But the chart shows a war in which military-age men die first, as would be expected when an army fights an armed group embedded among civilians that also recruits older teenagers. The account added that responsibility for minors killed in the fighting rests with the groups that recruit them. "The early 'Israel is killing babies' line does not match Hamas's own age-and-sex data," it wrote.
The analyst who first compiled the chart made a similar case. He said the pattern is consistent with a large combatant component in the toll, since Gaza's terror groups recruited heavily among men of fighting age. He noted that the pattern also reflects the general wartime tendency for civilian men to die at higher rates than women. He added that the overrepresentation of men is even stronger among deaths recorded after the October 2025 ceasefire.
The findings cut against a claim made repeatedly throughout the war. Gaza authorities have consistently said women and children make up a large majority of the dead. In mid-November 2023, the ministry reported that two-thirds of those killed were women and children.
The ministry's list does not distinguish between combatants and civilians. It covers only identified victims of violent deaths and excludes about 3,000 unidentified bodies as well as deaths from hunger or disease.

Gaza journalists operating under Hamas media controls were given platforms in Westminster.
HJS reported that several journalists who operated within this Hamas-controlled media environment have subsequently been welcomed into Westminster as authoritative witnesses to the war.
By Mathilda Heller. September 23, 2026.
Gaza-based journalists who worked amid what photojournalist Motaz Azaiza has described as a “Hamas-controlled media environment” were given prominent platforms in Westminster, researcher Emma Schubart of the Henry Jackson Society (HJS) revealed to The Jerusalem Post exclusively on Tuesday.
Schubart’s discovery follows comments made by Gazan photojournalist Motaz Azaiza in a September 3 podcast interview with journalist Ahmed Biqui.
During this conversation, Azaiza mentioned the existence of a Hamas-administered WhatsApp group called Smart, which, he said, included “every journalist working in Gaza.” The group’s icon displayed a Hamas flag and was administered by “the director of media for the Rafah Border Crossing,” who has been identified as Wael Abu Mohsen.
According to Azaiza, the group coordinated media messaging and organized campaigns against journalists whose reporting departed from the sanctioned line. “It was never a spontaneous thing,” he added.
Gazan photographers 'accustomed to lowering cameras' to criticism of Hamas.
Azaiza added that photographers in Gaza had “become accustomed to lowering their cameras” when civilians criticized Hamas.
HJS reported that several journalists who operated within this Hamas-controlled media environment were subsequently welcomed into Westminster and presented to British parliamentarians as authoritative witnesses to the war. Other journalists from this environment have been involved more indirectly with the British government.
For example, Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh was hosted in Parliament in September last year.
MPs host Hamas-linked journalists.
Hansard [the official report of all Parliamentary debates] records Labour MP Yuan Yang saying on September 10, 2025, that she had “co-hosted an event in Parliament for Wael al-Dahdouh” the previous evening.
During that visit, Dahdouh also met with Labour MP Afzal Khan for Manchester Rusholem (formerly Manchester Gorton), who posted publicly that he had met Dahdouh, calling the meeting “an honor.”
While neither the Post nor HJS has independently verified the membership of the group, Azaiza said it included every journalist working in Gaza at the time.
Then there is Azaiza himself, who on May 15, 2024, addressed a Nakba Day gathering at Westminster Central Hall, yards from Parliament, sharing the event with Sir Alan Duncan, the former Conservative Foreign Office minister.
Additionally, Scottish National Party (SNP) MP Brendan O’Hara co-organized a cross-party panel in a House of Commons committee room in mid-July 2025 with Oxfam GB and the Council for Arab-British Understanding.
Gaza journalist Abubaker Abed spoke alongside Oxfam’s then-CEO. Abed addressed MPs and journalists who were in attendance on conditions in Gaza and called for an end to UK arms support for Israel.
Finally, Al Jazeera and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) held a sold-out Westminster screening of the documentary Gaza in October 2024, followed by a panel. Al Jazeera Gaza correspondent Youmna El Sayed appeared as a panellist, with MPs and peers attending.
“One of Gaza’s most famous ‘journalists’ has described, in his own words, how Hamas controlled the media environment,” Schubart said.
Schubart noted that this is of great importance to every international outlet that has relied on Gaza-based journalists yet still claims that their reporting is editorially independent of Hamas.
“The question is straightforward: Why were British politicians giving a parliamentary platform to journalism produced under Hamas control?”
Schubart has personally written to the Speaker of the House on these findings. The letter was viewed by the Post.

‘Thrilled’ to be in New York City, says new Israeli deputy consul general.
“I see myself growing in the ministry,” Eyal David. “I will, inshallah, be an ambassador one day, but I didn’t want to miss this opportunity.”
Rikki Zagelbaum
(Sept. 23, 2026 / JNS) Eyal David, 40, was still unpacking boxes in his office at the Consulate General of Israel in New-York three weeks into his new post as deputy consul general when he told JNS that his time in the Big Apple was already “flying by.”
[...]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said recently that he hadn’t encouraged protests against the Israeli premier, although he appeared to have first recommended that New Yorkers take to the streets. Some city police officers reportedly said that the mayor’s rhetoric would put cops at physical risk.
Mamdani, who campaigned on having Netanyahu arrested and more recently said that he lacked that authority, said that he doesn’t plan to protest the Israeli leader. He called on federal authorities to arrest Netanyahu.
David told JNS that it is “unfortunate” that Mamdani is “anti-Israel” and that the mayor had “just a few weeks ago called us ‘monsters.’”
“This use of this hate terminology—he needs to understand it, and elected officials need to understand that words have consequences,” David said. “When there is such rhetoric that is anti-Israel—and it’s not only anti-Israel, not only anti-Zionist, it’s anti-Jewish—we see the consequences on the street, and it can be very dangerous.”
David spoke to JNS when he was filling in for Ofir Akunis, the consul general, who was in Israel. He described himself as “number two” to Akunis
