Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Captain Sumit Makhija, who was stabbed by the terrorist-pilot on the Fly Dubai flight and was seriously injured. The captain recounted during the conversation that "the co-pilot asked to pray, and out of respect I looked forward and not back. Suddenly I took a hard blow to the back of my head. I tried to stop him, but because of his initial blows, my vision almost disappeared. I heard people's screams. And as I told the ambassador here — I had one last fight left in me. I knew that if I didn't do it — I would die. So I used all the strength I had, walked to the door and opened it. Fortunately, people were waiting there to respond immediately and took control of the situation.

Robert Kraft’s Wikipedia Entry Edited to Describe Pro-Israel Media Watchdog as “Genocide[sic]” Denier JNS — October 2, 2026. By Aaron Bandler.
A Wikipedia editor added a disputed description of the pro-Israel media watchdog Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) to New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s biography, days after Kraft barred rapper Macklemore from performing at Gillette Stadium with Ed Sheeran.
Macklemore was removed from Sheeran’s U.S. Loop Tour after saying “free Palestine” during a Sept. 4 performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., said Macklemore would not be permitted to perform there because of what he described as the rapper’s “broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery.”
The tour’s promoter subsequently announced that Macklemore would not perform at the remaining dates after multiple venues said they would not host shows with him on the bill.
On Sept. 19, five days after Macklemore’s removal from the tour, a Wikipedia editor added material to Kraft’s entry based on a Sept. 18 article in _The Intercept_ about his philanthropic giving to pro-Israel organizations, including a $63,500 donation from the Kraft Family Foundation to CAMERA.
The Wikipedia entry had described CAMERA as: “an organization that has denied Israel’s genocide[sic] in Gaza and has organized pressure campaigns against those it considers ‘anti-Israel.’”
The wording mirrored language used in _The Intercept_ article. The phrase “denied Israel’s genocide[sic] in Gaza” also linked to a Wikipedia page titled “Gaza genocide denial.”
The description, which is not included in CAMERA’s own Wikipedia entry, was removed on Thursday afternoon and replaced with recognition of a 2018 contribution from the foundation “with the memo line ‘fighting antisemitism.’”
The entry previously described CAMERA as a “right-wing organization.” That characterization was subsequently removed after another Wikipedia editor raised concerns that the Israel section contained excessive “editorialising.” The editor also questioned whether some of the language was too closely tied to _The Intercept_’s characterization.
CAMERA’s response.
Carol Greenwald, chair of CAMERA’s board, told JNS: “These edits aren’t so much about Kraft or CAMERA. They are about how Wikipedia has been hijacked by anti-Israel activists to promote the ‘genocide’ libel.”
Greenwald also said that Wikipedia co-founders had criticized the site’s treatment of the Gaza genocide question and its adherence to neutrality.
Criticism of Wikipedia’s wording.
Jimmy Wales, a co-founder of Wikipedia, criticized the site’s “Gaza genocide” article in November 2025, arguing in June after promoting an initiative that, among other goals, sought to make Wikipedia less biased against “currently disfavored views and groups,” including Jewish and pro-Israel perspectives, according to his account that presenting Israel as committing genocide in Gaza violated Wikipedia’s neutrality policy.
Wales said the claim was highly contested and that the article should present competing characterizations rather than state one as fact in Wikipedia’s voice.
Larry Sanger, Wikipedia’s other co-founder, likewise criticized the article, telling JNS in June that its title and presentation were not neutral.
Sanger was indefinitely banned from Wikipedia in June after promoting an initiative that, among other goals, sought to make Wikipedia less biased against “currently disfavored views and groups,” including Jewish and pro-Israel perspectives, according to his account.
Greenwald said CAMERA does not comment on donor records but added that supporters of its mission could be confident that their contributions were being put to good use.
Researcher calls wording biased.
Shlomit Lir, a University of Haifa researcher specializing in Wikipedia, said the wording used in Kraft’s entry was biased.
“Calling CAMERA an organization that ‘denied Israel’s genocide[sic] in Gaza’ is not a neutral description of its position, because it treats genocide as an established fact and frames those who dispute that characterization as deniers.”
Lir argued that the wording also echoes the moral implications associated with “Holocaust denial.”
She said the episode illustrates the broader problems that can arise when contested terminology is used in biographical entries.
“Sadly, this is a clear example of how Wikipedia can be used to promote an ideological position while implicitly discrediting someone for making a legitimate philanthropic choice about which organization to support.”

At rally, Trump mocks ‘Gays for Palestine’ over abuses in ‘that part of the world’.
US president jokes that members of the movement should be sent over as negotiators: ‘You’ll never see them again’.
By TOI Staff. October 3, 2026.
US President Donald Trump mocked LGBTQ activists in the pro-Palestinian movement on Saturday over rights abuses against members of the community in “that part of the world.”
In remarks at a midterm campaign rally in Mobile, Alabama, Trump said that he had recently heard of what he called the “Gays for Palestine” movement. (Activists usually refer to themselves as “Queers for Palestine.”)
“Gays for Palestine, how about that,” Trump said. “I saw it today, and I said, ‘Wait a minute.'”
“Do you know what they do to gay people in that part of the world? Let’s send them over someday to negotiate. You’ll never see them again. I don’t want to tell you, but they do things you wouldn’t believe.

Human Rights Watch Insider Exposes How NGO Reports Really Get Made | Danielle Haas.
Quillette. Oct 2, 2026.
Quillette: Former Human Rights Watch Editor on Ideology, Israel and NGO Accountability.
Who checks the watchdogs? Danielle Haas spent 14 years as a senior editor at Human Rights Watch before leaving in 2023 with an exit email to more than 500 colleagues. She now runs EiGHT, a Geneva-based initiative founded by former and current NGO staff to press for accountability in the human rights and humanitarian sector.
Zoe Sankey asks her how a report actually gets made inside an organisation like Human Rights Watch, who reviews it before it goes out, and what happens when staff raise concerns. Haas describes what she saw from the editor’s desk: last-minute review, spot checks for lack of time, and positions she says were pushed for years before they were adopted. She explains why she believes NGO output, unlike NGO finances, faces no external scrutiny at all, and what she thinks should change: independent reporting channels for staff, an external review board, and measurable standards on every published claim.
They also discuss Amnesty’s clash with J.K. Rowling, the Antoinette Lattouf case, why Haas avoids arguing over whether a given report is right or wrong, and whether young people who want to do good should still work for these organisations.

Greens plunged into antisemitism crisis after members resoundingly back ‘Zionism is racism’ motion.
Lee Harpin. October 4, 2026.
Green Party members have passed a hardline version of the controversial “Zionism is racism” motion at their conference in Brighton, after resoundingly rejecting an amendment aimed at safeguarding Jewish supporters.
A hardline version of the overall Zionism is racism passed by 1,022 votes to 813.
Green Party member Greg Hadfield told journalists the result was greeted with “tears of joy” by supporters.
In a significant setback for leader Zack Polanski’s efforts to soften the party’s anti-Zionist stance, delegates voted down an amendment designed to protect Jewish members from being targeted.
That amendment, No.3. was defeated by 684 to 1,026 votes at the party’s conference on Sunday.
Amendment three was intended to shield Jewish members attending self-declared “Zionist” organisations—including synagogues and prayer groups—from accusations of racism.
Its defeat has raised concerns among Jewish Greens about potential internal disciplinary action for those participating in such religious activities. Anti-Zionist Green who supported racism motion
By endorsing the overall motion, the Green Party becomes one of the only Western political parties to officially adopt an anti-Zionist position.
The motion defines Zionism as an ideology supporting “an ethno nationalist Jewish state” and shifts the party’s platform to advocate for a “single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine.”
This marks a sharp departure from previous Green Party policy, which suggested that the ultimate decision on a peaceful solution in the region rests with both Israelis and Palestinians.

Nicole Lampert: The Greens are now the most openly racist mainstream party in British history.
Oct 4, 2026.
I’m glad that the pretence that the Left aren’t Jew-haters is over. They can no longer bother with the crying that it was just Netanyahu they despised. Or just “the genocide” they abhorred.
The full-throated support for the Green Party’s motion that “Zionism is Racism” is them showing how much they hate Jews with their chests out.
They are proud of it. Yes, they are proud of their nasty anti-Semitism. So sickening. But at least there is now sunlight on their obsession. No two-state solution for this lot: nothing less than the eradication of Israel “by any means necessary”. Self determination for the Palestinians but not for the Jews.
The Green Party’s leaders and MPs have belatedly wrung their hands about what has happened to their party.
“I am deeply saddened the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion has passed,” their MP Adrian Ramsay meekly bleated. “It doesn’t reflect Green principles or my own view.” Weak. Useless.
Even Mothin Ali, the Green deputy leader who openly pushed the motion, signed his name to a statement which said: “We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.”
Lies.
The Greens can now take the mantle of being the most openly racist mainstream British political party in history. They are calling for the destruction of the Jewish state while calling themselves anti-racists. What other state would they ever demand had to be dismantled?

50 years on, the words of my father, Chaim Herzog, then Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, ring as true today as they did then. Those who claim the antisemitic lie that “Zionism is racism” deliberately endanger Jews and Israelis everywhere.
Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people and the foundation of our right to a state and a national home in the Land of Israel. No motion, in any party or any parliament, will ever change these eternal truths.

Brendan O'Neill: The Green Party is now an openly anti-Jewish party.
Oct 4, 2026.
‘Tell me what you accuse the Jews of [and] I’ll tell you what you are guilty of’, said the great Soviet writer Vasily Grossman. Today, that grim, eternal truth was starkly illustrated by the Green Party’s passing of a motion saying ‘Zionism is Racism’. To throw around the word ‘racism’ even as you single out Jewish sovereignty as uniquely demonic, to pose as an enemy of bigotry even as you dream of the erasure of the world’s only Jewish state, takes moral duplicity to sickening new heights. In their snivelling whisperings about ‘racism’, these scumbags reveal their own.
It was at their conference in Brighton that the Green Party of England and Wales voted in favour of the ‘Zionism is Racism’ screed. The motion expressly defines the Greens as an ‘anti-Zionist party’. It says Zionism is a species of racial hatred, and will henceforth be ‘treated as any other form of racism’. Most obnoxiously of all, it commits the Greens to campaigning for the scrubbing of the Jewish nation from the face of the Earth. It calls for ‘the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital’. So no more Jewish homeland. No more tiny patch of land, a poxy 263 by 71 miles, for the Jews to call their own. All of it would disappear. Imagine accusing others of being ‘genocidal’ even as you agitate for the total dismantling of the ancestral kingdom of the Jews.
Anyone who thinks this is ‘just about Israel’, that the Islamo-left’s demented hatred for the Jewish nation has no impact on the Jews of the West, needs to pay closer attention. One of the most chilling events in Brighton today was the enthusiastic voting down of an amendment that would have offered protection to Jewish Greens who attend Zionist synagogues. Designed to ‘safeguard Jewish membership’, the amendment warned against ‘indirect discrimination’ against ‘practising Jews’ on the basis of the ‘synagogues, community centres or denominational groups’ they are aligned with. It was smashed, defeated by 1,026 to 648 votes.
Think about this. Really think about it. A mainstream party, and a supposedly progressive one, has just voted against an amendment that would protect its own Jewish members from discrimination on the grounds of the religious institutions they attend. I cannot remember anything like this in my lifetime: a party effectively greenlighting the harassment of Jews who commit the ‘sin’ of attending synagogues that believe in the right of Jews to nationhood. It is stunning. It’s a moral crisis. Not since the BNP has a party so openly committed itself to hostility towards certain Jews.
The historic gravity of today’s events cannot be overstated. We now have a party in Britain wholly devoted to the moral annihilation of Jewish sovereignty. A party committed to the abolition of Israel. A party content to hang a target sign around the necks of its own Jewish members who continue to patronise institutions that believe in the continued existence of a Jewish State. If the Tories overnight devoted themselves to the removal from the Earth of the state of Pakistan, and the moral isolation of every pesky Pakistani in Britain who likes that nation, it would be leading the news. Every progressive would cry ‘racism’, and rightly so. Will they do likewise here? Don’t hold your breath – you’ll die.
I’ll say it, though. I’ll say that if Jewish nationhood makes you vomit, if the right to self-determination of the Jews keeps you awake at night, then you are a bigot. You might consider yourself woke and good, but your frothing animus for Jewish nationhood betrays the blackness of your soul. For that’s all Zionism is: the belief that the Jews, like every other people, have an inalienable right to build and flourish in the land of their forebears. That the same people who tilt their heads in bourgeois indulgence of every native claim to territory then puke into their matcha when the Jews say ‘What about us?’ tells you everything you need to know. It is impossible to explain these double standards without using the word ‘anti-Semitism’. Go on, try.

Abdual El-Sayed’s ‘genocide’ charge revives the oldest antisemitic libel.
The “genocide” charge against Israel is not just semantics, but a serious accusation with consequences for Jews worldwide.
Micha Danzig. Oct 3, 2026.
On the Raging Moderates podcast, Scott Galloway laid out the case for Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee.
The Holocaust murdered two-thirds of European Jewry, including more than 90% of Poland’s Jewish population. Rwanda’s genocide killed about 70% of the Tutsis; the Khmer Rouge slaughtered about a quarter of Cambodia’s population.
Galloway then listed what Israel did in Gaza that no genocidal regime ever has done: distributed polio vaccinations, food aid, evacuation corridors, leaflets, and phone calls warning civilians out of buildings Hamas had made military targets.
El-Sayed’s response amounted to a confession: the point of the word “genocide” is not to wait “until the crime is that big again.” Its “power is in naming a thing before it gets that big.”
Translation: the charge need not be accurate, only useful. El-Sayed conflates when genocide must be stopped with what must be proven before it is alleged. That is a theory of libel, not genocide.
Clips spread on the far-left and anti-Israel woke right with a familiar argument since October 2023: Why quibble over the word? More than 70,000 are dead. Call it whatever you want. Just stop the killing.
This poses as rising above semantics. It is the opposite. First, that death toll comes from Hamas’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t separate combatants from civilians, and whose own statistics chief admitted that natural deaths were being counted as war deaths.
Second, most of those who recite it never demanded what would have ended the war on October 8: Hamas’s surrender and the hostages’ return. Third, if the word “genocide” didn’t matter, nobody would fight so hard to keep it.

Kristen Welker Browbeats Rahm Emanuel into Endorsing Abdul El-Sayed.
Jorge Bonilla.
October 4th, 2026.
[...]
The whole exchange was a set up to get “Rahmbo” to at least appear to fall in line with El-Sayed. Welker first sets this up with the question of whether Gaza is a genocide, which is now a leftist litmus test. And after Emanuel’s lengthy answer citing actual genocides, Welker makes a hard pivot to the El-Sayed question.
Welker took five passes at Emanuel on an endorsement of El-Sayed, despite his clearly stating that he was traveling to Michigan in order to support the Democrat gubernatorial nominee, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. That didn’t matter. Nor did Emanuel’s preceding argument.
On the fifth pass and after much hectoring Emanuel made a bashful endorsement of El-Sayed, arguing a need to restore the Supreme Court to Democrat control. It is as if Welker had no interest in anything else except whether Emanuel would toe the line. Welker showed no deference to Emanuel’s hedging, insisting that he endorse the socialist despite his prior denunciations of the DSA and DSA-aligned candidates. This is the state of Elite media a month away from a pivotal midterm election

As expected, Ana Kasparian is blaming Israel for the Islamic riots in France. The rioters burning schools and waving Palestinian flags are mostly North Africans and have nothing to do with the wars in the Middle East. They are just doing what Muslims do anywhere they go. What Ana is doing here is a prime example of the Islamo-Nazi-Communist coalition. They want everyone to be obsessed with Israel and forget that Muslims are the real problem.

Three Palestinian Arabs were arrested Monday morning in a series of operations by detectives and officers from the Judea Arrow Unit of the Judea and Samaria District Police on suspicion of pollution, possession of weapons, and terrorism offenses.
In the first case, a resident of the village of Deir Sammit in his 40s was arrested after publishing videos on social media in recent weeks showing himself dumping sewage waste into stream channels in Judea and Samaria.
Police noted that the suspect also boasted about his actions and claimed that this was his way of harming Israeli residents and Israeli territory. In one of the videos, he said: “These are our deeds, and we are proud of them."

The intelligence, the 'conceptzia,' and the critical hours.
Former senior Shin Bet official: Ronen Bar had the intelligence regarding Hamas’s preparations but he was operating under the 'conceptzia.'
Shimon Cohen. Oct 5, 2026, 6:00 PM (GMT+3)
Three years after the Hamas attack, questions still linger over who knew what before the attack and what those who were exposed to the intelligence held by the security establishment did with it. Arutz Sheva spoke with former senior Shin Bet official Micha Kobi about the intelligence that he says was in the possession of the Shin Bet and its director at the time, Ronen Bar.
Kobi described his feelings each year on the anniversary of the outbreak of the war, recalling the horrific scenes and brutal acts committed by Hamas Nukhba terrorists and civilian residents of Gaza that he saw on television on the morning of the attack.
“I told myself that these people must be eliminated one by one. None of them should be allowed to live, and there certainly should not be a situation in which a judge visits them in prison and allows them five meals a day. That is not what I had hoped for," he said.
Addressing the question of what the Shin Bet knew before the Hamas attack, Kobi said: “There is no doubt that an organization such as the Shin Bet, which is supposed to provide intelligence warnings and intelligence assessments before a war, knew many things beforehand and afterward. It knew about the exercises to capture Division 36, as we all saw, and also about exercises to capture communities, where all the signs were in Hebrew. We saw these things, and intelligence knew many other things regarding the timing and additional details."..

Jonathan Spencer after watching ‘NAZA’: ‘Worse than Hamas propaganda’.
Urban warfare expert Jonathan Spencer accuses documentary of spreading “lies, lies by omission, and lies of ignorance," takes particular aim at claim that Israel killed more than 73,000 in Gaza.
Israel National News.
Published: Oct 5, 2026, 10:45 PM (GMT+3)
John Spencer, an expert on urban warfare and Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, sharply criticized the documentary NAZA on Monday, accusing it of presenting claims about the war in Gaza that go beyond even those made by Hamas.
“Worse than Hamas propaganda," Spencer wrote in a post on X after watching the documentary in its entirety. “Over three years, I’ve tried not to be surprised by ignorance, disinformation, and distortions relating to war, but this is at the top for many reasons."
Spencer said he intends to publish a detailed analysis of the documentary, but singled out one statement that appears prominently during the film: “Israel has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians in Gaza."
“Not even Hamas says this," Spencer wrote, arguing that the statement effectively attributes every death in Gaza since October 7 to Israel.
'I am collateral damage too'.
Spencer noted that Hamas itself has killed Gazans in efforts to maintain its control and that armed clashes have taken place between Hamas and anti-Hamas clans.
He also pointed to rockets fired by terrorist organizations from Gaza that fell short and landed inside the territory. According to Spencer, as many as 20% of the approximately 12,000 rockets fired by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad at Israel fell inside Gaza.
Spencer further argued that recent Hamas reporting has included natural deaths on its lists, making it inaccurate, in his view, to attribute the entire reported death toll to Israeli military action.
“To say every person that died in Gaza was killed by Israel is a vulgar lie," he charged.
Spencer said the casualty claim was only one of numerous problems he found in the documentary.
“There are a lot of other lies, lies by omission, and lies of ignorance in NAZA, but this claim is unique," he wrote, saying that it represents the use of “lies, damned lies, and statistics" to advance accusations that contradict both “the actual number put out by Hamas" and the reality on the ground.
Spencer said he plans to release a more extensive analysis of the documentary in the near future.

@PolishEmbassyUS:
Letter from CdA a.i. @BogdanKlich calling on @TuckerCarlson to publicly retract his outrageous statements and apologize for insulting Poles, British citizens, and, ultimately, the memory of the victims of the Shoah and all those who died in the fight against Nazism.

Mr. Carlson,
I am outraged by the false and deeply troubling statements you made regarding the outbreak of the Second World War during your recent conversation with Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg. You justified Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939 claiming that “Hitler said 15% of Poland was once Germany and it was given to Poland at the Treaty of Versailles. That was German territory with Germans in it.” This statement constitutes a colossal insult to the millions of victims of Nazism, including hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who had been killed or wounded while liberating Europe from the occupation by the Third Reich.
Furthermore, your remark that “the UK had nothing to do with it at all” is also far from the historical truth. The declaration of war on Germany by the UK and France was not merely a political obligation of the allies. Had London and Paris not declared war on the Third Reich, they would have been attacked anyway. Hitler was driven by the idea of conquering the world and destroying all democratic states.
As an American journalist who enjoys the democratic right to the freedom of speech, you have now become an apologist for Adolf Hitler. In doing so, you resort to lies, completely falsifying the documented historical record.
Let me therefore remind you of the indisputable facts. Nazi Germany’s attack on Poland on September 1st, 1939 was a meticulously planned and brutal war of aggression. Hitler’s objective was the complete destruction of the Polish state and the physical extermination of its population, followed by a continued bloody conquest of the world. Hitler acted in collusion with another totalitarian criminal, Joseph Stalin. Together, they planned what is known as the fourth partition of Poland, set out in the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, under the guise of free speech, nor should the freedom of speech be used to which paved the way for the tragedy of millions of people in Central and Eastern Europe, including the near-total extermination of Europe’s Jewish population.
I demand that you immediately and publicly retract and apologize for these deceitful and disgraceful statements. Nazi propaganda cannot be rehabilitated under the guise of free speech, nor should the freedom of speech be used to desecrate the memory of the victims of the Second World War.
History must not be distorted. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Bogdan Klich
Chargé d’affaires a.i.
of the Republic of Poland
