They are supposedly Khazars, descendants of medieval converts to Judaism with no ancestral connection to the Land of Israel. This theory, which is contradicted by genetic evidence,+ − [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25079123/] is used to deny Jewish historical rights to Israel. − Yet Islamists routinely invoke Quranic descriptions of the Children of Israel and Islamic prophecies about Jews to condemn modern Israelis. + − If today's Jews are not really descended from the ancient Israelites, why should any of those religious texts apply to them?+ − I finally found a writer who actually addresses this contradiction. Or, more precisely, he handwaves his way around it. + − Dr. Omar Al-Jayousi is a member of the Palestine Scholars Association. He is also a regular contributor to Al Jazeera. But his latest article was published in Al Sabeel, a Jordanian site associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. + − In that article, after confidently asserting that modern Jews are descended from Khazars and Europeans rather than the biblical Israelites, al-Jayousi asks how Islamic prophecies about future confrontations can apply to them. − His answer is that the conflict isn't about genes or ancestry but ideology and behavior. Modern Zionists, he argues, have adopted the same mentality, superiority complex and historical claims as the ancient Israelites condemned in Islamic scripture.+ − He writes:+ − "The present group is the true ideological and philosophical continuation of everything against which religion warned."+ − In other words, modern Jews don't have to be descended from the ancient Israelites. They merely have to act like them.+ − A little clever, but theological sleight of hand.+ − Consider the notorious hadith in Sahih Muslim 2922, which predicts that Muslims will fight Jews in the end times, with rocks and trees calling out that Jews are hiding behind them and should be killed. It explicitly says Jews, not Zionists, colonialists or people who supposedly behave like ancient Israelites. Is a Muslim supposed to decide who fulfills the prophecy based on political ideology? Will the rocks and trees make that decision? Nothing in the text suggests that.+ − + − Al-Jayousi writes that when Islamic texts describe end-times confrontations, they are not concerned with DNA but with the ideology and behavior of the enemy. That enemy, he says, is defined by aggression, occupation and desecration of holy sites. The modern Zionists are therefore the ideological successors of the ancient Israelites, even if they are supposedly unrelated by blood.+ − But what exactly does this mean for the notorious hadith about rocks and trees? That prophecy doesn't describe a war against colonialism or occupation. It describes Muslims killing Jews, with rocks and trees revealing where Jews are hiding so they can be killed. There is no qualification about whether those Jews are Zionists, soldiers, settlers or innocent civilians. The language is explicitly about killing Jews as Jews.+ − If al-Jayousi insists that the prophecy is really about ideology rather than Jewish identity, does that mean the predicted killing also applies to Christian Zionists? He devotes an entire section to Christian Zionism, portraying it as the driving force behind Western support for Israel. What about American politicians who support Israel, or anyone else who endorses the supposedly colonialist project? Are they also the Jews whom the rocks and trees will identify? If not, why not?+ + − He never answers these questions. Instead, he transforms a genocidal prophecy describing the mass killing of Jewish men, women and children into a struggle for human rights. He invokes international law, justice, liberation and the protection of holy sites, as though these concepts explain the hadith's indiscriminate language. But they don't. Human rights law protects individuals regardless of their religion or ideology. It doesn't authorize killing people because they belong to a group supposedly destined for defeat.+ − Al-Jayousi wants the religious authority of an ancient prophecy, the political appeal of anti-colonialism and the moral legitimacy of human rights, all at once. Yet he never explains how a prophecy about killing Jews becomes a universal struggle for justice. − And after declaring that ancestry is irrelevant, he concludes by celebrating how the alleged Khazar origins of modern Jews undermine their historical claims. Genealogy is decisive when denying Jewish rights, irrelevant when assigning Jewish guilt, and ideology can substitute for ancestry whenever the argument requires it.+ + + + − The problem isn't merely that his definitions keep changing. It is that he uses those shifting definitions to make an explicitly genocidal prophecy to murder all Jews sound like a modern human-rights campaign.+ − Apparently, the only thing that must remain consistent is the hate.+ − Oct 11, 2026. − https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2026/10/if-jews-are-really-khazars-why-do.html − (Apply the same self contradiction neo Nazis or their promoter Tucker Carlson [Yuck-er Qatarlson] do when they talk about Jesus when he was killed by the Romans and in the same breath the debunked claim that Ashkenazi Jews [who are Israel's minority BTW] are "khazars."+ − 'Nuff said). − [http://disq.us/p/36un4b3 at EoZ] + + − ____+ − Federal agents search Rep.

We’re Still Drowning in Myths About the Gaza War..
By Eli Lake, The Free Press, October 6, 2026.
Brett McGurk, U.S. Institute of Peace, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0
In the weeks following the October 7, 2023 pogrom, President Joe Biden was in full solidarity with the target, Israel. He surged arms shipments and rallied the world against Hamas, the authors of that heinous crime. Among the lower ranks of Biden’s administration, though, an insurrection was brewing. Like the demonstrators on college campuses in the fall of 2023, the anonymous aides, assistants, and bureaucrats inside the federal government wanted the president to restrain the victims of the attack in their defensive war.
In the final year of the Biden presidency, the crowd that wanted Israel cut off from American weapons was largely stymied by the president and his senior staff. Now with the Democrats out of power, the dissidents of 2023 and 2024 are taking their revenge. And their tale is told in the new book Crossing the Red Line, by Akbar Shahid Ahmed, senior diplomatic correspondent for The Washington Sun.
Ahmed’s book is not an objective assessment or fair history of the Biden administration’s policy debates. It is rather a prosecutor’s brief against the senior foreign policy officials the American left wants to purge from the Democratic Party. Ahmed does not call Israel’s war against Hamas a “genocide,” but his sources clearly believe it was. And for the crime of enabling that genocide, the book blames former secretary of state Antony Blinken, former national security adviser Jake Sullivan, and former Middle East and North Africa coordinator Brett McGurk.
One anonymous former senior official vents: “I don’t know if I’ll ever know if Brett and Tony and Jake were directed by the president to follow his instinct to be deferential toward Israel, and did it for that reason, or believed it themselves, or they spun it to the president. None of the three are good.” Another one tells Ahmed that White House spokesman John Kirby “almost seemed like a Trump spokesperson who’s performing for the boss.” Deputy national security adviser Jon Finer is said by a nameless official to have questioned the partisan loyalties of Democratic critics of U.S. policy toward the Gaza war. And on it goes….
Despite his errors and bias, Ahmed’s book is useful in one respect. It unintentionally exposes a deep rot within the U.S. foreign policy bureaucracy. We learn, for example, that a senior official in the State Department’s human rights bureau, Christopher Le Mon, discouraged his colleagues from attending a film composed of footage captured on October 7 (much of it from Hamas GoPro cameras) sponsored by the Israeli embassy in Washington. Le Mon viewed the screening “as likely risking trauma among staff, which State was unprepared to handle, and offering no policy benefit to experts steeped in details of violence in the region.”

A city democratic socialist congressional candidate has claimed it “doesn’t even matter” that the illegal migrant wounded by ICE agents in The Bronx has a violent criminal history — and accused the NYPD of villainizing him.
Democratic Socialists of American darling Darializa Avila Chevalier told lefty streamer Hasan Piker that accused gangbanger Oscar Belgal was just being a good dad when he tried to flee the feds with his 5-year-old son in the car Thursday — and was somehow a victim of his own rap sheet being revealed.

JONES: Look, I mean, here is the thing. There are legitimate criticisms of his policy that we can't get you tonight, because the president of the United States is making bigoted attacks against him based on his faith.
What he said that, "hurt people hurt people," that was terrible.
Him saying that Israel shouldn't be able to purchase weapons, interceptors to knock down rockets, that's insane. Those are terrible policy ideas he has. But.... That's not because he is Muslim. It's because he has bad policy ideas. Let's talk about that.
But I'm going to tell you, if you're trying to stop Abdul, attacking him on his faith, is not the way to do it because you're going to have people rally because we don't want to see this stuff in our politics. He has some good ideas.
He has some bad ideas. I think his ideas on foreign policy are terrible. I think the idea that Israel can't purchase -- a total armed embargo against Israel, well, you're going to disarm half the surviving Jews in the world in the toughest neighborhood? That's wrong, but that's not because of his faith, and we've got to be clear about that.

Islamic Gaza GenoLIE: Selective Outrage / Falsehood Propaganda - Political Islam's Hatred.
10/14/26.
If the anti-Hamas war in Gaza had been conducted by non-Jews, would any prominent Arab or Muslim figure or organization be speaking so loudly about it?
Of course not.
They didn't—and don't—care about the 700,000 Syrians, the Uyghurs under China, or the millions of victims in Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, and Nigeria, or the 140,000 people killed by Iran's regime, among others.
Have these same figures and organizations seriously confronted guilty Arab-Palestine dictatorship leadership Hamas's role in Gazan civilian deaths—its military tactics, its conduct of the war, and the consequences of its decisions for the people it claims to represent?
Where is the sustained, unequivocal condemnation of Hamas's leadership for the suffering its own decisions have inflicted on Gazans?
Noted Islamic propagating the G word. A lot. But only against Israel.
-Naledi Pandor. A convert to Islam and architect of South Africa's propaganda campaign against Israel, accused of antisemitism as early as 2022.
-Hamas' Euro-Med. (genocidal Hamas linked group not only edit Wikipedia but is training Arabs how to do so. Yuval Abraham Israelophobic propagandist accused of spreading falsehoods, with Regavim exposing falsehoods in his reporting as early as 2020. He has also been linked to a Euro-Med figure and reportedly maintained a close relationship with him dating back to at least 2019).
-CAIR. Nihad Awad glorified the October 7 genocidal-Palestinian attacks. It is a pro-genocidal Hamas group posing as a "civil rights" organization.
-USCMO. Offered a rationalization for the October 7 attacks by framing them as an act of "self-defense."
-OIC. A bloc of 57 Muslim-majority countries that lobbies and exerts influence at the UN.
-SJP. From SJP’s founder, Hatem Bazian—a radical Palestinian-American activist associated with the Muslim Brotherhood—to SJP’s promotion of a vile, hateful cartoon in November 2017 featuring a non-Zionist Haredi Jew, and Bazian’s significant role in managing JVP, as allegedly exposed by his May 11, 2023, tweet, to SJP’s repeated use of Nazi themes and Nazi-themed imagery, the pattern appears to reflect a determined effort to perpetuate the Palestine Mufti’s diabolical legacy of pan-Arab and pan-Islamic leadership.
-Qatari and Erdogan's Turkish media. (Qatar's al Jazeera, Middle East Eye an theNewArab. Or Turkey's Anadolu and TRT shill for Hamas. Hosting and deep ties are wrll known).
-OIC. (a bloc of 57 Muslim-majority countries that lobbies and exerts influence at the UN.

Global anti-Israel protests coordinated in advance by international alliance, documents show.
Behind the protest’s preparation and framing is the London-based Global Alliance for Palestine (GAFP), a coalition of about 200 organizations focused on Palestine advocacy.
By Mathilda Heller. October 11, 2026 20:43
Pro-Palestinian protests
across the world last week were coordinated in advance by an international alliance that prepared campaign slogans, media messaging and protest tactics, including calls to shut down city squares, encircle government buildings and blockade corporate hubs,
The Jerusalem Post's review of campaign documents found.
This was first reported on by Fox News Digital, which found that "long before the first demonstrators gathered, the messages for the protest's 'communications framing' and transnational action plan had already been written, the banners designed, the tactics circulated and the media strategy laid out."
Behind the protest preparation and framing is a London-based coalition called Global Alliance for Palestine (GAFP), an international alliance of around 200 organizations that are focused on Palestine advocacy.
Ahead of the week of October 7, which marked the third anniversary of the Hamas attacks, GAFP released press statements and media toolkits encouraging pro-Palestine movements, student groups, trade unions, and civil society organizations worldwide to unite under the banner ‘End the Genocide[sic], Defend the Land’.
GAFP was behind the Global Day of Action on October 10, as well as a direct legislative pressure campaign asking parliamentarians to demand immediate arms embargoes, emergency debates, suspended trade agreements, and binding human rights sanctions against Israel.
In the toolkit for October 10 protests, viewed by the Post, GAFP called for protesters to "shut down city squares, encircle government buildings, and blockade complicit corporate hubs."
Rather than a symbolic march, GAFP said the purpose of the global day of action was to interrupt business-as-usual.
Among the other suggested protest actions were walk-outs, sit-ins, and blockades.
'I'm not Jewish, I'm a Zionist': Viral trend surges on X as hundreds join in, 'Post' analysis finds.
Groups encouraged to use language 'impossible to ignore'..
In a GAFP concept paper for the Global Alliance for Palestine, organizers share guidelines for 'Communications Framing' and 'Core Messages' about Israel. The document encourages groups to use language that is "disciplined, credible, urgent and impossible to ignore."
GAFP also published a list of slogans such as "From Every Street, One Demand: End Genocide, End Occupation" and "Israel Kills. The Media Justifies."
The Post identified 181 organizations in the coalition, with the organizations being spread out across the world.
Among the most high-profile participating organizations are CodePink, the Freedom Flotilla, and regional BDS chapters.
Israel's Foreign Ministry called out the "prewritten accusations, coordinated slogans," and "orchestrated disruptions."
"A calculated effort to hijack headlines, dominate the narrative and demonize Israel. The hatred is loud. The coordination is documented," it said.
While many of the hundreds of protests across the world may have appeared to be independent and unconnected, the understanding of GAFP's campaign indicates that this may not have been the case.

UK activist group launches ‘Some people are Zionist! Get over it!’ campaign.
The group launched the campaign in response to the Green Party conference's vote on October 4, by 1,022 votes to 813, to pass a motion declaring "Zionism is racism."
By Alex Carson. October 11, 2026.
A group of mainly non-Jewish activists
challenging British antisemitism
by standing with Israel launched a new campaign next to the Winston Churchill statue in Parliament Square on Saturday, called “Some people are Zionist! Get over it!”
Mark Birbeck, founder and director of Our Fight, told The Jerusalem Post
that the group launched the campaign in response to the Green Party conference’s vote on October 4, by 1,022 votes to 813, to pass a motion declaring “Zionism is racism.”
During the Parliament Square launch event on Saturday, activists wore branded T-shirts displaying the campaign slogan and held signs reading “PROUD ZIO,” utilizing a term that originated as a derogatory slur for Zionists. They also carried Israeli and British flags.
Explaining the motivation behind the initiative, Our Fight activist Kurpa Patel stated to GB News, “We’re here to stand as proud Zionists, after the Green Party adopted their motion saying ‘Zionism is racism.’ We’re saying: some people are Zionist. Get over it.”
Birbeck also spoke with GB News, stating, “There are many people who support the right of Israel to exist, and that’s all Zionism is: the right of Jews to have a homeland. In response to the hysteria we’ve been seeing around the country for the last year or two, anti-Israel hysteria, we’re saying get over it. Israel’s not going anywhere.”
Birbeck told the Post that Our Fight plans to repeat the photo opportunity next month. “We’ll be asking people to come and show their support for Israel next to Churchill’s statue again,” Birbeck said.
Launch is part of “broader mensch campaign” Birbeck said that this launch is part of their “broader mensch campaign” and that they “are organizing a conference on January 17 called ‘Be a #MENSCH,’” the campaign aims to encourage non-Jewish allies in the UK to show public, visible solidarity with the Jewish community amid rising antisemitism.
“We’ll be bringing together activists, academics, and writers to discuss the crisis of antisemitism, and broader issues relating to the nation and community,” Birbeck told the Post.
During the Green Party’s conference, Birbeck stood facing the audience at the front of the room wearing a T-shirt inscribed with the campaign slogan. Our Fight shared a video on social media showing conference organizers approaching Birbeck.
According to the group, conference organizers told him that the messaging was inappropriate before security guards and staff escorted him from the auditorium and took away his pass to block him from attending subsequent votes.

'I'm not Jewish, I'm a Zionist': Viral trend surges on X as hundreds join in, 'Post' analysis finds.
By Mathilda Heller | October 11, 2026.
A social media trend in which non-Jewish users publicly declare themselves non-Jewish Zionists has spread rapidly across X, with a Jerusalem Post analysis identifying more than 600 matching posts from nearly 550 accounts over just over a week.
The timing suggests that the phenomenon changed significantly around October 9, just two days after the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks.
The posts follow a recognizable formula: “I'm not Jewish. I'm [nationality, religion or identity]. And I am a Zionist.”
The Jerusalem Post analyzed public X posts to identify where the trend began and who was amplifying it. The analysis uncovered 613 posts published between October 4 and October 11, with activity accelerating sharply on October 9.
The trend had also begun drawing attention from users on X, with posts explicitly referring to the growing number of “I'm not Jewish, but I'm a Zionist” declarations.
The dataset contained three matching posts on October 4, followed by 13 on October 5, 10 on October 6, 22 on October 7, and 26 on October 8.
The number jumped to 131 on October 9, roughly five times the previous day's total. Another 270 matching posts were published on October 10, followed by 138 on October 11 as of the time the data was collected.
In total, 539 of the 613 posts analyzed, or approximately 88%, were published from October 9 onward.
From scattered declarations to a viral formula.
Declarations of support for Zionism by non-Jewish users predate the current trend. However, the earliest posts identified by the Post did not consistently follow the standardized format that has since become widespread.
Among the posts found on October 4 were broader declarations such as, “I'm not Jewish, but I am a Zionist.”
By October 5, users had begun incorporating their national identities. One early example read, “I'm not Jewish. I am Irish, and I am a Zionist.”
An October 6 post similarly stated, “I'm English, I'm not Jewish, but I am a Zionist.”
By October 7, the three-part structure appeared more frequently, with variations identifying the poster as American, Canadian or Iranian before declaring support for Zionism.
One example posted by Dutch writer Bart Schut on October 11 read, “I'm not Jewish. I'm a Dutch atheist. And I am a Zionist.”
The dataset included references to a wide range of national identities, including Iranian, American, Canadian, German, Finnish, Irish, Italian, New Zealander, English, Polish, Australian, British, Dutch, Czech, Japanese, Portuguese and Nigerian, among others.
Some users combined national and religious identities. References to Christians, Catholics, atheists, Muslims, Hindus and agnostics also appeared in the posts analyzed.
Hundreds of accounts join the trend.
The 613 posts collected by the Post came from 549 separate X accounts, indicating that the activity was not primarily driven by a small number of accounts repeatedly posting the same phrase.
Most accounts appeared only once in the dataset.
The available data does not establish that the posts were centrally coordinated or part of an organized campaign. Rather, it demonstrates the rapid replication and adaptation of a common linguistic template across hundreds of accounts.
The timing suggests that the phenomenon changed significantly around October 9, just two days after the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks.
After the Post captured 74 matching posts between October 4 and October 8, another 539 appeared from October 9 onward.
The trend had also begun drawing attention from users on X, with posts explicitly referring to the growing number of “I'm not Jewish, but I'm a Zionist” declarations.
On October 9, for example, user Oren Barsky wrote: “the ‘I’m not Jewish, but I’m a Zionist’ trend is one of the most moving things I’ve seen on this platform.”
By October 11, Barsky said the trend was “basically [his] whole feed.”
How the Post analyzed the trend.
The Quran is even more explicit about the identity of the Children of Israel. Quran 2:47 addresses them as recipients of God's favors. Quran 2:49 recalls their deliverance from Pharaoh, while Quran 2:61 recounts their subsequent disobedience. These verses concern a specific historical people, identified through their ancestry and shared history. They don't describe an ideology that unrelated people can inherit by behaving badly.
The Jerusalem Post collected public X search results using multiple variations of the phrases “I'm not Jewish” and “Zionist,” covering posts published between October 4 and October 11.
Duplicate post URLs were removed, leaving 613 posts from 549 unique accounts.
The dataset is not an exhaustive record of every post participating in the trend. Instead, the figures provide a snapshot of the trend visible through public X search results and demonstrate its growth during the period analyzed.
Amid widespread hostility toward Israel and Zionism, the emergence of a trend centered on expressions of solidarity with Israel and the Jewish people's right to self-determination marks a notably positive shift in social media discourse.

If Jews are really Khazars, why do Islamic prophecies about Jews apply to them?
Many Palestinians insist that today's Jews, especially Ashkenazim, are not descended from the biblical Israelites at all. They are supposedly Khazars, descendants of medieval converts to Judaism with no ancestral connection to the Land of Israel. This theory, which is contradicted by genetic evidence,
[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25079123/] is used to deny Jewish historical rights to Israel.
Yet Islamists routinely invoke Quranic descriptions of the Children of Israel and Islamic prophecies about Jews to condemn modern Israelis.
If today's Jews are not really descended from the ancient Israelites, why should any of those religious texts apply to them?
I finally found a writer who actually addresses this contradiction. Or, more precisely, he handwaves his way around it.
Dr. Omar Al-Jayousi is a member of the Palestine Scholars Association. He is also a regular contributor to Al Jazeera. But his latest article was published in Al Sabeel, a Jordanian site associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
In that article, after confidently asserting that modern Jews are descended from Khazars and Europeans rather than the biblical Israelites, al-Jayousi asks how Islamic prophecies about future confrontations can apply to them.
His answer is that the conflict isn't about genes or ancestry but ideology and behavior. Modern Zionists, he argues, have adopted the same mentality, superiority complex and historical claims as the ancient Israelites condemned in Islamic scripture.
He writes:
"The present group is the true ideological and philosophical continuation of everything against which religion warned."
In other words, modern Jews don't have to be descended from the ancient Israelites. They merely have to act like them.
A little clever, but theological sleight of hand.
Consider the notorious hadith in Sahih Muslim 2922, which predicts that Muslims will fight Jews in the end times, with rocks and trees calling out that Jews are hiding behind them and should be killed. It explicitly says Jews, not Zionists, colonialists or people who supposedly behave like ancient Israelites. Is a Muslim supposed to decide who fulfills the prophecy based on political ideology? Will the rocks and trees make that decision? Nothing in the text suggests that.
The Quran is even more explicit about the identity of the Children of Israel. Quran 2:47 addresses them as recipients of God's favors. Quran 2:49 recalls their deliverance from Pharaoh, while Quran 2:61 recounts their subsequent disobedience. These verses concern a specific historical people, identified through their ancestry and shared history. They don't describe an ideology that unrelated people can inherit by behaving badly.
Al-Jayousi writes that when Islamic texts describe end-times confrontations, they are not concerned with DNA but with the ideology and behavior of the enemy. That enemy, he says, is defined by aggression, occupation and desecration of holy sites. The modern Zionists are therefore the ideological successors of the ancient Israelites, even if they are supposedly unrelated by blood.
But what exactly does this mean for the notorious hadith about rocks and trees? That prophecy doesn't describe a war against colonialism or occupation. It describes Muslims killing Jews, with rocks and trees revealing where Jews are hiding so they can be killed. There is no qualification about whether those Jews are Zionists, soldiers, settlers or innocent civilians. The language is explicitly about killing Jews as Jews.
If al-Jayousi insists that the prophecy is really about ideology rather than Jewish identity, does that mean the predicted killing also applies to Christian Zionists? He devotes an entire section to Christian Zionism, portraying it as the driving force behind Western support for Israel. What about American politicians who support Israel, or anyone else who endorses the supposedly colonialist project? Are they also the Jews whom the rocks and trees will identify? If not, why not?
He never answers these questions. Instead, he transforms a genocidal prophecy describing the mass killing of Jewish men, women and children into a struggle for human rights. He invokes international law, justice, liberation and the protection of holy sites, as though these concepts explain the hadith's indiscriminate language. But they don't. Human rights law protects individuals regardless of their religion or ideology. It doesn't authorize killing people because they belong to a group supposedly destined for defeat.
Al-Jayousi wants the religious authority of an ancient prophecy, the political appeal of anti-colonialism and the moral legitimacy of human rights, all at once. Yet he never explains how a prophecy about killing Jews becomes a universal struggle for justice.
And after declaring that ancestry is irrelevant, he concludes by celebrating how the alleged Khazar origins of modern Jews undermine their historical claims. Genealogy is decisive when denying Jewish rights, irrelevant when assigning Jewish guilt, and ideology can substitute for ancestry whenever the argument requires it.
The problem isn't merely that his definitions keep changing. It is that he uses those shifting definitions to make an explicitly genocidal prophecy to murder all Jews sound like a modern human-rights campaign.
Apparently, the only thing that must remain consistent is the hate.

US, 28 other countries decry Iranian regime threats.
Oct 12, 2026.
The foreign ministers of the United States and 28 other countries denounced “in the strongest terms” the Iranian regime’s “campaign of attacks across Europe targeting Jewish communities, Iranian journalists and U.S. interests.”
The joint statement came after British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said that the United Kingdom believes that the planned Sept. 27 terror attack on the Royal Air Force airbase in Fairford was “almost certainly directed” by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The joint statement recognized the British attribution of Iran’s involvement.
“Any attempt by Iran to threaten, silence, intimidate, harass, harm or coerce people on our territories through proxies or any other means is unacceptable,” the 29 countries stated.

Jesse Watters Primetime 10/12/26 | Fox News Breaking News Today October 12, 2026.
-- Benny Johnson's the host of the Benny Johnson show. So, a lot of push back over this woke BS, isn't there?
-- Yeah. I mean, I guess my first question to you, Jesse, is is Harry Styles protesting on behalf of the women in the gym by also wearing short shorts. Is this something protest there I've ever seen on a man?
-- And I love how
-- I Yeah, that's right. I love how Jerry Seinfeld has just seen into the future with his AIDS ribbon episode from the Seinfeld Show because he's living out peak woke right now. And I got to tell you, I just I like Jerry Seinfeld a lot, but Shane Gillis represents the final boss for cancel culture. He's kryptonite for cancel culture. If there's one man who has truly destroyed that sickness in our society, it is Shane Gills. I have an article for you right here from 2019. Saturday Night Live fires Shane Gillis over offensive slurs. Shane Gillis on the Saturday Night Live hosting for the third time back used offensive slurs in his entire monologue and it was hilarious. It was the first funny monologue in a very long time. He made fun of gay people. He made fun of Hitler and then he made fun of the most protected class, women. And in order to get back at him, women started posting scantily clad selfies in the gym and tagging Shane Gillis. I checked out Tik Tok today. There are thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of them all over Instagram. And so, sweetheart, I I'm just I'm not sure you're sending the message that you want to send, but this is the message that Democrats always send, which is that they they don't know that they're the joke. Remember when Kill Tony went out at Madison Square Garden and killed it before uh Donald Trump rally? It was a hilarious set. Democrats decided to get offended. Instead of rolling with it and laughing, they tried to get offended at it. And Joe Biden called the entire country garbage. They they fell right into their own trap. Joe Biden is the one who challenged Donald Trump to a debate. It didn't work out great for him. Democrats are not good at this game because they've forgotten how to laugh and they've forgotten that they themselves are the joke.
-- How about He's calling everybody racist and they're like, "How many black friends do you [laughter] have?" You couldn't name one.
-- Yeah, dude. You love China. How many blacks are living in China today? It's a great question. You're wearing a Mao Zedong outfit. That's supporting a actual genocide state. He continues to scream about genocide[sic]. Maybe it was him in the Jerry Seinfeld show. Have we checked on that guy? Do we have an idea on that guy? [laughter] It could have been Hasan [Piker] screaming that it's a "genocide[sic]," yet he's wearing the outfit of a genocidal maniac that puts Muslims in concentration camps in China.
Again, I keep asking like why doesn't Hasan move to China if he loves it so much? It's because they'd probably put him in a concentration camp along with all the Uygur Muslims. I don't think they take kindly to Twitch streamers in China. Oh, wait. Twitch is banned in China. [laughter] ..

Metallica’s James Hetfield Blasts Musicians for Promoting Their ‘Agenda’ on Stage.
By Shiryn Ghermezian. October 13, 2026
Metallica’s frontman James Hetfield made it clear to audience members at the band’s Las Vegas Sphere residency show on Saturday that the heavy metal group will not use their stage presence to platform any political agenda like some other musicians do.
Hetfield made the comments on stage while thanking fans who have traveled far to see Metallica perform live as part of their “Life Burns Faster” residency.
“Unless you live in Vegas, you’ve come a long way to spend some time with Metallica,” the singer and guitarist told the audience. “We’re grateful for that. Your travels, the money you spent, the time you took. Thanks for coming to celebrate with us. And I just gotta say: Metallica is not here, like some other entertainers, to influence you with their bulls—t.”
“We are here to forget about all the outside s—t,” he added. “Metallica’s agenda is love, energy, and heavy music, baby!”
Hetfield did not name any specific musicians in his remarks, but Macklemore has made headlines recently for talking about the Middle East conflict on stage. The Seattle-based rapper was dropped from Ed Sheeran’s “Loop” tour after promoting from the stage his support for a “Free Palestine” and anti-Israel groups on college and university campuses; trying to defend his criticism of Israel’s military actions in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war; and accusing Israel of....

Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, the chief rabbi of Tzfat, met Wednesday with students from the Ma’alot religious high school to offer support ahead of the funeral of their classmate, 14-year-old Elazar Yair Vilensky, who was killed when an unexploded munition detonated during a school trip in northern Israel.
During the meeting, Rabbi Eliyahu described Vilensky as a “casualty of war," saying that the tragedy was part of the broader conflict Israel continues to face. “Yes, it was a trip, and yes, what happened happened. But do not forget that this is part of the war. We are in a war, and in war there are casualties. In war, there are those who fight in battle, and there are also mishaps and accidents. These, too, are part of the casualties of war. We must remember that this is part of the Jewish people's struggle against its enemies."

Saudi National Arrested for Installing Surreptitious Audio Recording Device at OpenAI
Tuesday, October 13, 2026.
For Immediate Release.
Office of Public Affairs.
An employee of OpenAI has been arrested for and charged with using or endeavoring to use an electronic, mechanical, or other device to intercept oral communications. Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, a national of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was arrested on Oct. 9, and made his initial appearance in federal court today.
“This serious situation underscores why winning the global super intelligence race is a national security prerogative — and why President Trump’s leadership in creating the Super Intelligence Force is so important,” said Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton. “I thank Director Patel and our FBI partners for their diligence and swift action. The intelligence community remains committed to safeguarding America’s cutting-edge intellectual property from foreign threats.”
“According to the complaint unsealed today, Abdulrahman Alfozan allegedly concealed a covert recording device inside his employer’s executive conference room to secretly capture sensitive communications about the company’s super intelligence technology,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Protecting American SI innovation is essential to safeguarding our nation’s economic strength and national security, and the FBI views that mission as one of our highest counterintelligence priorities. Thank you to Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and our law enforcement partners for their support — and we will continue working closely with our partners across the U.S. government and private sector to keep American businesses and citizens safe and to ensure our country maintains its competitive edge.”
“The Bay Area and Silicon Valley lead the world in developing tomorrow’s technology, and our Office will continue to stand at the forefront of protecting that American innovation,” said U.S. Attorney Craig H. Missakian for the Northern District of California. “For us it is a matter of national security. This arrest highlights our relentless efforts in partnership with the FBI to identify and prosecute those who seek to steal our technology, as alleged in the complaint.”
According to the complaint, Alfozan had been employed as an engineer by OpenAI since July 2025. On or about Sept. 30, OpenAI personnel discovered a surreptitious audio recording device (Recording Device 1) inserted into a USB port on the back of a television in an executive conference room inside one of their buildings in San Francisco. OpenAI determined that the device, which had been concealed in toilet paper, was installed on or about Sept. 28, and that its contents were encrypted.
