Iranian Funds for Hezbollah Are Flowing Through Dubai. U.S. is concerned as Tehran taps emirate’s money exchanges to rebuild battered ally By Dov Lieber, Omar Abdel-Baqui and Summer Said. Nov. 27, 2025.

Iran has sent the Lebanese militia Hezbollah hundreds of millions of dollars over the past year via money exchanges and other businesses in Dubai, as Tehran seeks new ways to funnel money to its ally, people familiar with the matter said.

Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, is in desperate need of funds to rebuild and rearm its militia and pay other costs stemming from its bruising fight with Israel last year, the people said. Its smuggling routes through Syria were disrupted by the fall of the Iran-aligned Assad regime a year ago, and Lebanese authorities have made strides cracking down on couriers bringing suitcases of cash through the Beirut airport.

Magazine N12. "They shout at us from across the fence: 'We will rape you, Itbach al-Yahud [slaughter the Jew]'": The relentless terror on the seam line. Life in the communities near the Green Line is being lived under increasingly severe threats, and they are not just the kind we have come to know. Thousands of Palestinians cross the separation fence every week, and some take part in terrorism. In addition, residents also talk about the constant sounds of gunfire, garbage burning that affects children's health, and even the teasing from across the separation fence: "This is terrorism in every sense of the word."

Gilad Shalmor. The main edition. Published:27.11.25, 14:41

In Jerusalem, the city with a wall at its core, there is another wall, devoid of charm or history . It separates the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority from the Israeli territories. A border that separates work and unemployment , and is supposed to protect against attacks. The fence is high, decorated with a wire, but some people manage to get in . "It's mainly an economic motive," explains Yehuda Noam, director of the Jerusalem area of ​​the Regavim movement . "It's almost twice the salary , and there is a very, very small minority that ends up carrying out the attacks, but that minority is enough to carry out a terrible attack like we saw in Ramot, for example," he adds.

Six Israelis were murdered in this attack by two terrorists who climbed the fence and jumped into Israeli territory, with the aim of killing, through a gap cut in the barbed wire fence by an unknown individual . "This is just one point out of dozens on the seam line, just around Jerusalem," Yehuda notes. The police presence is noticeable . Since October 7, Israel has been protecting the borders more with patrols and drones. But the procedure is that only when they are caught for the third time are they indicted. Until then, they are thrown out , straight into the Palestinian Authority territory.

"Ready to die for a livelihood"

Only 4 years ago we documented the separation fence, which was as perforated as Swiss cheese, in a manner that was completely Israeli . Tens of thousands of people entered Israel to work every week, mainly in construction, with tacit agreement , based on the concept that if money entered the West Bank, peace would be bought . But since October 7, the situation has changed , far fewer are able to cross the border, many are still trying .

The Israeli Security Service climbs the separation wall. "Ready to die for livelihood." Palestinian worker enters Israel over the separation wall.

"The fence has been closed since October 7," a Palestinian worker from Tulkarm tells us in a phone conversation. "They're passing through, I'm passing through too. We're going to work , we're not going to sabotage," he clarifies. "You have to climb the fence , I'm ready to die for my livelihood." Mako [1]

Shocking NHS Scandal. "Worse Than Nazis": British Doctor Suspended for Antisemitic Rants and Hamas Support. British Surgeon Suspended for Vile Antisemitic Rants, Holocaust Denial, and Hamas Praise.

Gila Isaacson. Nov 27, 2025 03:59

In a shocking case of hate speech infiltrating the medical profession, British authorities have suspended Dr. Rahma Al-Adwan, a 31-year-old surgeon and trauma specialist, from her duties for 15 months amid an ongoing investigation into her inflammatory online posts, as reported by Ynet. The doctor, employed by the UK's National Health Service (NHS), allegedly spewed antisemitic vitriol, endorsed Hamas terrorism, and denied the Holocaust, prompting outrage and over 200 complaints from the public and Jewish organizations.

Asides from this racist al-Adwan's elevating the Nazis..

Fact: Every Arab-Muslim extremist who invokes the “Nazi” slur against Jews does so cynically, knowing it stings in the West — yet privately or publicly reveres Hitler. This tactic was admitted over 20 years ago by Neo-Nazi convert to Islam Ahmed Huber (inspired by the infamous Mufti al-Husseini), who explained: call Jews “Nazis” to demonize them in Western eyes, while Hitler admiration runs deep in Islamist circles. The same pattern emerged in 2014 when BBC Ramallah journalist Tala Halawa compared Israel to Nazis — then added: “Hitler was right”. The identical playbook was used by Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, who “explained” Hitler’s actions as a response to Jewish “usury” rather than antisemitism — a classic Holocaust inversion to mask Jew-hatred.

This is not rhetoric. This is not criticism of policy. This is genocidal antisemitism disguised as political discourse.

Always the same playbook: Holocaust inversion to mask Jew-hatred.

Air pollution in Judea & Samaria: Shocking data revealed in the Knesset. MK Tzvi Sukkot convened an urgent discussion in the Knesset's Judea and Samaria Committee following the spread of garbage fires in the area, which caused 1,400 deaths in 2023. Israel National News. Nov 27, 2025, 6:03 PM (GMT+2)

The subcommittee for Judea and Samaria in the Knesset, chaired by MK Tzvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism), held a special discussion today (Thursday) on the growing issue of waste fires in Judea and Samaria, particularly in the Na'alin area.

Representatives from the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of National Security, the cities of Modiin, Yehud-Monosson, the Shoham community, and the Binyamin Regional Council participated in the meeting.

MK Sukkot described the phenomenon as "environmental terror" and said it was an ongoing and deliberate attack on Israeli citizens. He explained that residents in the area wake up to mornings with thick smoke in the air, making life unbearable.

During the meeting, representatives from the "Green Now" organization presented worrying statistics. According to the data, in 2023 alone, about 1,400 Israelis died from diseases related to air pollution caused by illegal waste fires in Judea and Samaria.

Sukkot pointed out that families are forced to close their windows, forgo outdoor activities, and even refrain from sending their children to educational institutions due to the fear of exposure to carcinogenic materials. INN

Poll: Most US Jews fear Mamdani victory hurts New York Jewish security. American Jews express sharp concern over Mamdani’s election, with most fearing it will harm Jewish security and reflect rising anti-Israel sentiment in the US. Israel National News. Published: Nov 27, 2025, 4:05 PM (GMT+2)

Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral race has sharply increased concern among American Jews, according to the Jewish People Policy Institute’s (JPPI) November Voice of the Jewish People Index. In the wake of the election, nearly two-thirds of respondents (64%) said they view Mamdani as both anti-Israel and antisemitic - the highest share recorded by JPPI since the metric was introduced in July 2025. One-fifth (19%) perceive him as anti-Israel but not antisemitic, while a tenth (9%) believe he is neither anti-Israel nor antisemitic.

The survey, conducted November 14-15 among 745 American Jews registered to JPPI’s Voice of the Jewish People panel, found that the predominant emotional response to Mamdani’s win is concern (56%). Other emotions reported included hope (13%), fear (11%), and sadness (7%); overall, 84% of respondents chose a negative emotion in response to the election. INN

Tucker Carlson’s New ‘West’: A Civilization with No Room for Mainstream Jews. Carlson is not defending Western civilization. He is trying to redefine it into something smaller, harsher, and hostile to the very people who shaped it.

Micha Danzig. November 27, 2025

Tucker Carlson has spent years sanding down the edges of old antisemitic narratives and repackaging them as elevated commentary about “Western civilization.” But last week, on the Shawn Ryan Show, he aggressively abandoned the polish. What emerged was not just his open hostility toward Israel. It was an attempt to evict Jews from the very civilization they helped create.

In an alarming monologue, Carlson declared that “identity politics,” “tribalism,” and “group supremacy” are the enemies of the West — and he then added a new villain (at least for most self-described “conservatives”) to the list:

“It’s DEI, it’s tribalism… it’s Zionism. Netanyahu says he defends Western civilization. No. He’s its enemy — literally its main enemy.”

He went further:

“Why are the Nazis bad? Because they said we’re fighting these people based on who they are… and Netanyahu believes the same thing.”

This was not analysis. It was moral derangement — the leader of the world’s only Jewish state cast as indistinguishable from Hitler, and Zionism smeared as the twin of Nazism.

It is the oldest hatred dressed up in pseudo-philosophy. And Carlson is now its most visible American salesman.

Carlson’s “West”: A Civilization with Judaism Removed

Carlson cloaks his argument in talk about “the individual soul,” claiming Zionism violates Western values by affirming Jewish peoplehood. This may resonate with those unfamiliar with history, but it collapses instantly under scrutiny.

Judaism has always existed as both a faith and a people tethered to the land of Israel. And the West, itself, does not exist without Judaism.

The ideas of a moral universe governed by law, of human dignity rooted in a divine source, of covenant and equality — these are Jewish innovations. Christianity’s intellectual framework is built directly on Jewish scripture and philosophy. The American Founders repeatedly cited Hebrew texts as the basis for natural rights and the inherent worth of the individual.

To claim Zionism — the modern expression of Jewish self-determination — is anti-Western is like claiming the spine is anti-body. It is not merely false. It is an erasure.

And it echoes Charles Lindbergh’s 1941 assertion that Jews “distort American policy” and threaten Western civilization — a narrative Carlson now repeats almost word for word.

Projection Disguised as Principle

Carlson accuses Zionism of “tribalism,” “group supremacy,” and “identity politics.” But these traits define the “woke right” movement he has helped empower.

Nick Fuentes openly advocates stripping Jews of civil rights. Marjorie Taylor Greene promotes Christian nationalism. The “National Conservative” sphere defends ethnic hierarchy. White nationalist rhetoric about Jewish “control” now circulates across the digital landscape Carlson helped cultivate.

These are not champions of universal individualism. Along with the far-left, they are among the most identity-obsessed factions in American politics. Carlson’s charge against Jews is not simply hypocritical — it is psychological projection.

He sees in mainstream Jews what the “woke right” and the far-left are both championing: a politics of grievance, fear, and internal enemies. And, as history shows, it is always the Jews who get cast in the internal enemy role.

Manufactured Disloyalty.

A few weeks ago, Carlson railed against Jewish commentators like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin: “Give us the money for our preferred little country… You’re flirting with real backlash. Like a real one.”

“Backlash” is not an observation. It is a threat.

And it follows the same script used by Lindbergh: Jews are steering America to ruin, and if people turn on them — well, they brought it on themselves.

Now Carlson has escalated from warning of “backlash” to labeling Jews who support Israel — meaning the overwhelming majority — as enemies of the West itself.

This is how demagogues test the boundaries of acceptable discourse. And then push them.

No, Zionism Is Not Racism.

And Carlson’s Chosenness Smear Is Either Ignorant or Malicious

Carlson’s newest accusation is that Zionism is racist and premised on harming people “for the way they were born.” This is wrong on every level.

Zionism is not a racial ideology. It is a national liberation movement — no different from Greek, Irish, or Armenian self-determination. Jewish identity predates European racial categories, and Jews come in every pigmentation known to humankind. Israel’s Jewish population is majority “non-white” by American standards, and Arab Israelis serve across government, the judiciary, the military, and the police.

There is nothing racist about Jewish self-rule — any more than Japanese or Latvian self-rule is racist.

Carlson’s dog whistle about Jewish “chosenness” — paired with his attacks on Christian Zionists — is equally dishonest. Chosenness in Judaism is not a claim of ethnic or racial superiority. It is a burden of obligation: a mandate to follow moral law, not a license to dominate others. And unlike Christianity or Islam, Judaism does not claim that one must join the Jewish people to merit salvation. It is the only Abrahamic faith that does not require membership for a place in heaven — hardly the posture of a people obsessed with supremacy.

What Carlson presents as proof of Jewish exclusivity is actually one of the most inclusive theological frameworks in Western religion.

His smear relies on twisting a complex religious idea into something sinister, recasting Jews — and the Christians who support Israel — as zealots driven by visions of innate superiority. It is a distortion as old as antisemitism itself, repackaged for a new audience.

Why Carlson Needs Jews as the Villain

The far-left claims Israel “controls” America. The woke-right claims Jews “subvert” America.

This is the political horseshoe closed into a circle: the oldest hatred meeting itself on the other side.

And Carlson is working to become its most effective megaphone.

He needs a villain that unites both fringes. He needs a target requiring no evidence. He needs a narrative that flatters resentment.

And history has shown which group fills that role. It is always the same group — the one that rhymes with “news.”

The Real Threat to the West

Carlson insists the West is built on the dignity of the individual — and that Zionism contradicts it. But what he promotes violates Western values far more clearly:

Declaring a minority’s political participation illegitimate. Warning Jews of “backlash” if they do not alter their politics. Comparing Jewish self-defense to Nazism. Erasing Judaism’s foundational role in Western civilization. Suggesting Jews who support a democratic ally are disloyal. Dressing conspiracy rhetoric in philosophical language. This is not Western civilization. It is its dark mirror.

Carlson wants Americans to mistake that mirror for the real thing.

The Real Threat to the West

At a time when truly anti-Western forces — Iran’s theocrats, their fascist militias, and the campus radicals cheering them on — proudly chant for America’s decline, Tucker Carlson has chosen to target the people who helped articulate the ideals the West is built on.

Not the ones burning American flags. The ones who helped write the ideas those flags represent.

Carlson is not defending Western civilization. He is trying to redefine it into something smaller, harsher, and hostile to the very people who shaped it.

Because the West he claims to champion was built on Jewish ideas, Jewish texts, and Jewish moral philosophy.

If he wants a civilization without Jews, he is not defending the West — he is abandoning it. JewishJournal

My Word: UN Solidarity Day ignores Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries - opinion. Two years after October 7, 2023, to mark International Solidarity with the Palestinians, while ignoring what has been inflicted on Israel and the Jewish world, is particularly jarring.

By Liat Collins, November 28, 2025. This isn’t just a perversion of history. It’s perverted, period.

Tomorrow, the United Nations marks “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.” The date, November 29, was not chosen by chance. On November 29, 1947, the UN accepted the Partition Plan that would lead to the establishment of the State of Israel. The Arab world rejected the partition and declared war on the nascent Jewish state, hoping to swiftly eradicate it. This is the origin of the “Nakba,” the Palestinian “catastrophe.”

Find auto parts from trusted sellers near you. Find auto parts from trusted sellers near you. Sponsored by Carxplore Choosing to commemorate one side of the conflict – the side that launched the war – and on that particular date, is more than cynical. It’s manipulative; a reframing of the narrative. It also deliberately ignores the other half of the story. Hence on November 30, Israel commemorates the expulsion of more than 800,000 Jews from Arab and Muslim lands who came to Israel. These are the Middle East’s most overlooked refugees.

Two years after the Hamas-led invasion and mega-atrocity on October 7, 2023, to mark International Solidarity with the Palestinians, while ignoring what has been inflicted on Israel and the Jewish world, is particularly jarring.

Thanks to the UN granting the Palestinians “perpetual refugee status,” the number of Palestinian refugees has risen in the past 70-plus years from some 750,000 to more than five million. So much for the charges of “genocide” by Israel JPost

When I was at the Defense Ministry after what happened, they said that always on evenings the Palestinians tend to throw stones at night because they know that people are returning from families and they want to harm Jews," recalled Meital Azariahu, who was slightly injured, in a conversation with the "Morning News" editorial team.

What happened there? "My friend Merav was driving, there were cars but not many. I saw something echoing in the car, that something was going to explode and I told her to be careful. I saw like a child, a teenager, not an adult, who threw an axe handle that went through the windshield and everything exploded. We stopped driving. She wasn't afraid, she thought the car would be destroyed. She opened the door and I noticed glass on her legs, I took them out, it was a small injury. I was in shock, I had a concussion and couldn't speak. I felt like my body was being beaten and I went outside. Soldiers calmed me down."

Did you fear for your life? "Very much, I've never felt what it's like to be harmed by such predatory animals. He was right, it's really unbelievable."

In a conversation this morning with Niv Raskin, Azariahu added more details from the incident: "I didn't sleep that much last night, trying to digest. Yesterday I was a panic attack with glass in my legs, but nothing serious." Regarding the moments of fear, she said, "We felt like the car was hijacked, the windshield shattered. The terrorist didn't reach us, he threw it quickly. We felt that the Creator was protecting us." Mako

Samaria attack: 'He threw an iron rod, I froze. I couldn't talk'.

A terrorist last night threw an iron rod at a car driving near the Giti Avishar junction on Route 5, the “Cross Samaria” road. The rod pierced the vehicle’s windshield, very close to the driver’s seat.

The driver, Meital Azariah, was lightly injured in the incident.

The attack occurred as Azariah was returning from Einav, a village near Kdumim, accompanied by other young women. “When I was at the Defense Ministry after what happened, they said that Palestinian Arabs tend to attack at night because they know people are returning from family visits, and they want to harm Jews,” Azariah told Morning News.

The truth behind the video that was viewed 4 million times on Instagram. "A dangerous step up": The influence campaign of pro-Palestinian celebrities. Sophisticated pro-Palestinian groups are waging psychological warfare by impersonating popular celebrities, forging content with advanced deepfake AI technology, and building fake credibility over time, Israeli company Vetric reveals. The method relies on exploiting the emotional connection between a fan and a star to instill extremist political messages, which results in the lies being spread authentically by real users. Here’s how it works

In recent months, a disturbing picture of a new battleground in the digital space has emerged. Organized pro-Palestinian networks have adopted advanced psychological warfare tactics based on deception, impersonation, and advanced technology, according to a study by Israeli company Vetric, which provides a data infrastructure for analyzing public information that helps identify predictions, fake news, and suspicious activity online.

According to the company, “in contrast to past attempts that relied on armies of simple, anonymous bots, the current campaign marks a dangerous escalation.” It is characterized by the cynical and sophisticated use of stolen identities of key cultural assets, such as fan pages of soccer stars from Europe’s top leagues, edited videos and photos of top YouTubers and major influencers, to make it appear that they support the Palestinians – which they neither did nor have done.

The infrastructure that has been exposed is not accidental or sporadic. It is operated by pro-Palestinian ideological groups that resort to a strategy of using an influential “proxy.” “The strategic rationale is clear: when a revered soccer star or popular singer expresses a position, the fan’s critical barriers almost disappear. The networks exploit the deep emotional connection between the fan and the star to inject extremist political messages, using prominent visual symbols such as Palestinian flags and slogans associated with Islam,” says Or Katznelson, partner and COO at Vetric.

The network's method of operation relies on building credibility over time. The operators do not attack immediately, but rather establish or take over existing profiles that appear credible, sometimes ones that have already gained experience. The vast majority of them have a blue V, which increases the sense of authenticity and credibility and creates the appearance of an official page for that person.

In the first stage, the profiles are maintained with a content routine that simulates the character's real activity, such as photos from training sessions, clips from performances, and documentation from public events. Only after the profile has gained enough followers and credibility does the activity begin: a targeted integration of political content within the daily content, in a way that makes it difficult to quickly identify unusual activity but is well received by the followers.

An example of this is a coordinated campaign in which dozens of pages impersonating players from rival teams simultaneously posted the slogan #winGaza with the announcement of the ceasefire, creating an artificial image of victory and a sense of global consensus.

[#Gazawin campaign].

One of the key findings of the study is the way in which organized activity creates page waves that affect ordinary users. The initial distribution of the fake post is done by the activists, but it is designed to go viral. As soon as such a post gains momentum, the imitation effect appears: private users who are not part of the organized network are exposed to the viral success and imitate it. They share the fake news believing that it is true, or they set up similar pages themselves to ride the viral wave, gain sympathy and become popular. In this way, a planned fraud becomes a semi-authentic mass movement that makes it very difficult to locate the source of the forgery and stop it, because the distributors at this stage are real people who are convinced of the righteousness of their path.

The key factor that makes the phenomenon particularly dangerous is the technological maturity of the artificial intelligence that creates it. "We are at a historical turning point. If in the past, a reliable video fake required expensive studios and a team of special effects experts, today any hostile entity can create a fraud with minimal investment and effort," says Katznelson.

A notable example revealed in the study are deepfake videos of well-known figures, such as YouTuber Jake Paul, who appear to speak directly to the camera in a completely natural manner. The mimicry is almost perfect and the lip-syncing is at a very high level, even when the character speaks in languages ​​that the original person does not speak at all, such as Arabic, and incorporates religious chants.

Technological capability allows not only quality, but also quantity: industrial production of content at almost zero cost. A single command to a computer can produce dozens of versions of the same supposed star, expressing support for Gaza in variations adapted to each platform. This capability allows the network to be flooded until the truth is swallowed up in endless digital noise.

According to Wetrick, despite attempts to cover up, extensive activity has been identified, run from Egypt, where teams operate using local infrastructure and a uniform language structure. In addition, additional centers have been located throughout Europe. The operators work in coordination and use different profiles to create the appearance of a broad consensus.

"We are witnessing a leap forward in the evolution of disinformation. The combination of pro-Palestinian ideological motivation, hierarchical organization, and accessible and powerful artificial intelligence tools has created a well-oiled machine for consciousness engineering. The danger lies not only in the false content itself, but in its ability to cause millions of people to act on its basis, share it, and unwillingly turn them into agents of spreading lies. The assessment is that this is only a pilot, and that we are expected to see this method expand and become operational on a much wider scale in the near future," concludes Katznelson.

"The Mufti.. concocted a new kind of antisemitism that combined traditional Muslim antisemitism, like the anti-Jewish verses you find in the Koran, with the Nazi antisemitism that demonised Jews... His whole ideology was antisemitic and from the very beginning he targeted Jews, not Zionists."
