Article shows that [[Hamas]] committed [[genocide]] during the October 7 attack and that Israel’s supporters should shift from defending Israel against genocide accusations to actively exposing Hamas’s crimes. It presents a detailed investigation applying the Genocide Convention’s legal standards to Hamas and argues that the evidence against Hamas is stronger than the case against Israel. It calls for Jewish and pro-Israel organizations across political and ideological lines to coordinate a major campaign against the genocide accusation, which it identifies as a principal driver of antisemitism and declining American support for Israel.
The [[Houthis]] have renewed their threats, while Riyadh airport is set to resume flights.

'[[Muslim NATO|Mecca defense pact]] faces test as Saudi delegation arrives for high-stakes Iran talks.'
Ironically, but very Islamism: 'Iran Hosts Mecca Pact Security Chiefs. Iran's Foreign Ministry says "Israeli expansion" and Lebanon are on the agenda in Tehran, and that it makes no difference to Iran who leads Israel. The talks come one day before Israel's election.'

Israeli forces discovered an underground shaft near the Hebron home of a terrorist involved in an attack that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others. The shaft was approximately 15 meters deep and 75 centimeters wide, with no apparent exit. An electronic device was found inside and transferred to security forces for examination. The discovery came during searches of more than 500 sites following the attack. Israeli forces continued searching for suspects, making arrests and seizing weapons and illegal vehicles. The military emphasized that the excavation was inside Hebron, with no nearby Jewish communities.
Boring. Again. The same infamous United Nations Commission of Inquiry released another report criticizing Israel. Israel’s mission to the United Nations in Geneva condemned the "report" as part of a campaign to spread misinformation, demonize Israel and portray the state’s existence as criminal. The commission faced further scrutiny after a panel member disclosed that it had accused Israel of genocide without independently verifying facts and had drawn conclusions based on assumptions.
The term genocide has been stripped of its legal meaning and turned into a political weapon against Israel. Accusations against Israel are following a predetermined pattern in which evidence is selectively presented, legal distinctions are ignored, context is dismissed and contrary evidence is labeled propaganda. The accusation is presented as a means of portraying Israel as inherently evil, undermining its legitimacy and denying its right to self-defense.
The post cites the Democratic Socialists of America, Spain’s Podemos party, Mehdi Hasan’s media platform and commentator Ahmad Ibsais as examples of actors applying genocide accusations to Israel across different conflicts and political circumstances. It points to accusations concerning Syria, Cuba, Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank as evidence that the term is being used as a recurring political slogan rather than a rigorously substantiated legal finding. It argues that the repeated accusations serve the broader purpose of delegitimizing the Jewish state.
Saudi Arabia’s defense pact partners held discussions in Iran as the Houthis continued launching attacks. The talks tested the defense arrangement as a Saudi delegation arrived for high-stakes negotiations with Iran.
Egypt approved military support for Saudi Arabia following an escalation in Houthi attacks.
Israel agreed to supply Cyprus with a new offshore patrol vessel equipped with Rafael defense systems. The agreement also includes upgrades to Cyprus’s existing Israeli-built patrol vessel, the Commodore Andreas Ioannides. The vessels will improve Cyprus’s maritime patrol, surveillance and search-and-rescue capabilities.
Israeli forces discovered an underground shaft near the West Bank home of a Hamas terrorist who killed two soldiers. Separately, Israeli forces and police uncovered a passage near a-Ram that used existing sewer infrastructure to reach Beit Hanina in northern Jerusalem. Its entrance was concealed beneath a parked commercial vehicle and accessible through the vehicle. Authorities arrested 32 suspected illegal infiltrators and four suspected facilitators and transferred all 36 for questioning.
In Khan Yunis, Israeli forces identified three terrorists emerging from a tunnel shaft. An aircraft struck the shaft and the terrorists.
Jewish Democrats face political difficulties as anti-Israel candidates gain ground in Democratic primaries. Activists expect opposition to Donald Trump’s policies and frustration with Benjamin Netanyahu to outweigh some voters’ reservations about the Democratic nominees’ positions on Israel.
A Fox News discussion examined racial tensions between Black and Arab communities in Michigan and the campaign of Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. A Black woman criticized El-Sayed for focusing on Trump’s racism while neglecting concerns about Arab-owned businesses and economic conditions in Black neighborhoods. The program questioned whether Barack Obama’s campaign appearances could secure sufficient Black support for El-Sayed, who had been criticized for not hiring Black staff members in senior campaign positions. The discussion also questioned whether El-Sayed could win with support concentrated among Arabs, white women and college students.
Israeli forces eliminated four Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza.
Former hostage Agam Berger criticized a campaign video released by Yair Golan’s Democrats Party that combined footage of the October 7 attacks with political messaging.

[[File:Islamic Bigot Cenk Uygur Antisemitic Ad For El Sayed.jpg|thumb|Islamic Bigot Cenk Uygur Antisemitic Ad For El Sayed]]
A group of rabbis urged Abdul El-Sayed to remove a hate campaign advertisement featuring [[Tucker Carlson]] and disavow a vile ad by TYT's Islamic bigot [[Cenk Uygur]] advertisement from an outside political group that blamed Israel and Jews, erroneously, for the rising cost of living -
The advertisements supporting El-Sayed connected American economic hardship to US assistance for Israel. One showed a couple unable to afford groceries, including eggs and bananas, and attributed their financial difficulties to American support for Israel. Critics condemned the message as antisemitic because it blamed the Jewish state for ordinary Americans’ economic problems. Fellow Michigan Democrat [[Haley Stevens]] rejected the advertisement, the smear, that Democrats should address housing, healthcare and taxation rather than blame Israel for high prices.
Commentators criticized the advertisement’s economic reasoning, noting that US aid to Israel is a small fraction of federal spending and is largely restricted to purchasing American military equipment. They argued that government assistance to Israel does not determine grocery prices and that singling out Israel, rather than examining foreign aid or domestic spending more broadly, evokes longstanding antisemitic scapegoating. Some also criticized the political judgment of supporting El-Sayed with an advertisement that raises questions about foreign allegiances while his opponents scrutinize his family’s connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
David Frum’s analysis provides figures showing that annual US military assistance to Israel is $3.8 billion, approximately one-twentieth of one percent of the federal budget. Of a $95 billion aid package approved in 2024, nearly two-thirds went to Ukraine, about $15 billion went to Israel and approximately $9 billion supported humanitarian relief, including aid for Gazan civilians. Most US assistance to Israel must be spent on American-made equipment, benefiting US defense manufacturers and giving the United States access to Israeli military technology. The analysis compares the aid with annual American grocery spending of $1.1 trillion, New York City’s nearly $80 billion public-housing maintenance backlog and the estimated additional $32 trillion cost of Medicare for All over a decade. It argues that blaming Israel for grocery prices echoes historical antisemitic political tactics, including Karl Lueger’s efforts to blame Jews for Austria’s economic problems.
A Fox News discussion elaborated about the pro El-Sayed ad's antisemitism and its economically misleading. The panel reminded that government aid to Israel does not directly determine grocery prices and that most aid is military assistance rather than money used to buy groceries or healthcare. Panelists argued that a legitimate America-first argument about foreign spending would address aid to multiple countries rather than single out Israel. They also questioned the political judgment of using the advertisement in support of El-Sayed, whose opponents have raised concerns about his family’s ties to the [[Muslim Brotherhood]].
A separate commentary compared US assistance to Arab countries, Israel and Ukraine. It placed annual US assistance to the broader Middle East and North Africa region at approximately $7.5 billion to $7.6 billion, with broader estimates of total regional military and economic support reaching $21 billion. It placed annual assistance to Israel at approximately $3.8 billion and Ukraine-related funding since the start of the war at approximately $175 billion to $183 billion. It highlighted Israel’s strategic and intelligence cooperation with the United States, benefits to the American defense sector and shared security interests.
The pro El-Sayed hateful advertisement generated widespread criticism, prompting his campaign, belated, to distance itself from the controversy.
A commentary by Betsy McCaughey slams phony [[Abdul El-Sayed]]. Reminding his academic research and political positions, portraying his studies of Arab-American health outcomes as attempts to encourage ethnic separation and [[Muslim]] separatism. It criticized his research on premature births and suicide for failing to account adequately for confounding factors and socioeconomic differences. It also challenged his position on Medicare for All, arguing that his promise that Americans could retain private insurance contradicts his own published explanation that the government would become the sole insurer. The commentary warned that the proposed system could restrict seniors’ access to expensive medical treatments and urged Michigan voters to demand clear answers about his policies.
The [[BBC]] agreed to pay Jewish producer Lucie Kon approximately $535,000 to settle a workplace antisemitism case. Kon filed a formal complaint about antisemitism at the broadcaster and said she was subsequently sidelined, instructed to remain at home for months and dismissed. The BBC did not admit liability, apologize or acknowledge that she had experienced antisemitism.
ITS Logistics, a Nevada-based company, agreed to pay $396,135.54 to settle a workplace antisemitism case involving a Jewish employee. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found reasonable cause to believe the employee had experienced harassment involving antisemitic messages and offensive Jewish stereotypes. The company also agreed to revise its anti-discrimination and harassment policies and report regularly to the agency for three years.
The St. Louis Blues condemned antisemitic messages displayed during a hockey game. The signs included a crossed-out Star of David surrounded by blood and the words “Israel kills.” Team chairman Tom Stillman called the messages hateful and unacceptable and said antisemitism would not be tolerated in the team’s arena or community.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog criticized Dutch attitudes toward Israel as the Dutch ambassador presented credentials.
Israeli Arab parties Ra’am and the Joint List mobilized voters ahead of the national election, framing the contest as an existential struggle. Their shared objective was to bring down the right-wing government led by Benjamin Netanyahu, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir. Their priorities included stopping demolitions of illegal construction, addressing violent crime and advancing Palestinian interests, including support for residents of Gaza and Judea and Samaria.
UK Lawyers for Israel urged Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool to investigate unauthorized soccer jerseys featuring their branding alongside pro-Palestinian messaging. The jerseys resemble official club merchandise but incorporate designs that suggest the teams support the Palestinian cause. They are marketed online by From Palestine to the World, while the company identified in the US trademark registration, FREEPLTN LLC, is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The associated website received more than 465,000 visits between July and September, with approximately 30% originating in the United Kingdom.
Israeli election coverage reported rising voter turnout across sectors. Political analyst Amit Segal described the historic turnout as dramatic, while Shlomo Filber reported that participation was increasing among all population groups.
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon confronted UN Special Rapporteur[ La Fascistsa] Francesca Albanese over her latest report, which accused Israel of systematically targeting the media during the Gaza war. Danon accused Albanese of spreading false allegations, ignoring Hamas’s crimes and using her UN position to advance an extremist political agenda. He presented her with a resignation letter and called her a disgrace to the United Nations.
Israel’s election drew praise for its democratic process and equal voting rights. Representative Josh Gottheimer highlighted the participation of Arab citizens, noting that they can vote, run for office and serve in the Knesset, rights denied to many Arabs and women across much of the Middle East. Voter turnout reached 77.7%, the highest level since 1999. Former hostage Emily Damari exercised her right to vote after gaining her freedom.
Israeli election exit polls produced conflicting political assessments. Opposition leaders initially celebrated results suggesting that the Change Bloc had secured a majority, with Gadi Eisenkot calling the outcome a victory for Israel’s mainstream Zionist majority and Yair Lapid declaring a crushing defeat for Netanyahu’s bloc. Other reports indicated that Netanyahu’s bloc had overtaken the opposition but that neither side had secured a majority. Ra’am and the Joint List were projected to gain 19 seats, while Shas and United Torah Judaism were projected to win between 12 and 15 seats. Likud leaders maintained that their party was Israel’s largest. Subsequent vote counting showed Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc ahead of the opposition.
Amit Segal criticized Israel’s election results for making a mockery of pre-election polling.
Israeli forces eliminated a "Palestinian" terrorist who had held hostage Nimrod Cohen.
A terror attack occurred at the Israeli embassy in [[Serbia]].

Hillel Fuld, brother of terror victim [[Ari Fuld]], criticized the election of Osama Saadi, a lawyer and member of the Joint List, to the Knesset. Fuld accused Saadi of representing the [[Palestinian Authority]] in litigation concerning payments to the family of his brother’s [[terrorism|terrorist]] murderer.
[[Likud]] called for an investigation into suspected election fraud in Arab communities.
United Torah Judaism celebrated reported election gains, saying attempts to weaken the party had failed. Its leaders rejected coalition negotiations until the final election results were known and pledged to defend the rights of the haredi community.
Germany’s new [[antisemitism]] commissioner took office.
A [[Polish]] man was suspected of desecrating a Jewish cemetery in [[Germany]].
Israeli police arrested a Palestinian man in his fifties from Yatta in the Hebron area after he expressed an intention to carry out a terror attack targeting Israeli civilians. Police opened an investigation after receiving a report about the threat.
Representative [[Josh Gottheimer]] said that Israel’s relationship with the United States would remain strong regardless of the election outcome in Israel.
Election data showed that [[Arab]] communities recorded an average turnout of approximately 80%, exceeding the national turnout of 77.7%. Two communities in the Arava region recorded 100% participation.
'A Wild and Improbable Story Hits Israel.
Arabs voting in the Jewish state is not an argument. It’s a story. A real story. The most antisemitic media outlet on the planet has no choice but to tell that story.'
Writer Suissa’s commentary focuses on the unexpectedly high participation of Israeli Arabs in the national election. Israel’s Arab citizens have demonstrated their ability to influence the country’s political future despite false accusations with the [[Apartheid slur]] or the [[Gaza GenoLIE]] against Arabs. Approximately two million Arab citizens have voting rights, and their participation helped prevent either of the two main Jewish political blocs from securing a majority.
The Arab parties gained a projected 19 seats, giving them the potential to help one of the major blocs reach the 61 seats needed to form a government. The commentary presents this as a powerful demonstration of Israeli democracy and an opportunity to counter international criticism through a concrete political reality rather than arguments and public-relations campaigns.
The commentary also highlights the longstanding difficulty of incorporating Arab parties into governing coalitions. Many Zionist parties oppose treating Arab parties as legitimate partners, while many Arab parties resist taking responsibility for governing a state defined as the nation-state of the Jewish people. The election raised questions about whether either Jewish political bloc would cooperate with Arab parties, seek a Jewish majority through negotiations or ultimately force another election.
Post-election vote counting showed [[Netanyahu]]’s right-wing bloc ahead of the opposition, although the final distribution of seats and the formation of a governing coalition remained unresolved.
