Netanyahu will not stop until he is stopped.

What Israel did in Gaza may well go down in history as the most humane and precise urban warfare environment the world has ever known—the very opposite of genocide. The entire purpose of a genocide is to push civilians into the killing zone. Think about what happened in the Holocaust, where children in line at Auschwitz were given bars of soap, where inside of the gas chambers there were fake shower heads. What was the point? It was to trick and induce civilians to get in to the killing zone so that you could kill more of them more efficiently over time. Israel has done the very opposite—warning civilians and then manning humanitarian corridors with its own soldiers, risking its own sons’ and daughters’ lives to ensure that civilians get out of the killing zone. We see two remarkable things in Gaza. First, according to preeminent urban warfare scholars like John Spencer, Richard Kemp, and Andrew Fox, Israel has the lowest militant-to-civilian kill ratio in the history of urban warfare. Genocides have extreme civilian-to-militant kill ratios. Hundred, thousand, ten thousand-to-one. That’s the point of a genocide. Here we have a militant-to-civilian kill ratio of may be two-to-one—not consistent not just with law of war violations—but much less with genocide. Second, and more importantly, all genocidal regimes get better over time at killing civilians. Again, think about the Holocaust. The Nazis started with firing squads killing 20, 30, 50 people at a time and realized that was too inefficient. Then they got these vans and filled them with exhaust pipes, and they would kill more people. And they said, “We’re never going to get to six million killing them this way.” That led them to construct these massive gas chambers and crematoria—the architecture of true genocide—to kill thousands and thousands of people cheaply and efficiently a day. Israel has done the opposite. Even if you believe Hamas’ numbers, the scale of civilian death in Gaza went down over time. Israel got better and better and spent hundreds of millions of shekels learning how to become more efficient at preserving innocent Palestinians’ lives. Again, the very opposite of genocide.

Jon Finer has done a remarkable service by publishing a political declaration of war on the future of the State of Israel. There is no pretense in his manifesto that this is about Netanyahu. He says quite plainly that the most historic centrist coalition in Israel’s history, the first to include Arab parties, was just as bad in his mind as Netanyahu’s government - and that whoever replaces Netanyahu would be just as bad, if not worse to him. This is no longer Mehdi Hassan or El Seyed talking, but a former senior Biden official. He unmasks himself as a full-fledged BDS activist, determined to use every lever of American power to pressure Israel into unilaterally withdrawing to indefensible borders. He launches a direct attack on the notion America and Israel have shared values - questioning whether Israel is a democracy and framing Israelis as the terrorist threat to the region. He is not just proposing sanctions or a cut off of arms sales. He is proposing a full-scale maximum pressure campaign akin to how we treat Iran and North Korea: political and diplomatic warfare, financial and economic warfare, and a severing of military support and cooperation, and indeed at least indirect military support to Israel’s (and America’s) enemies. Every American who sees the pictures out of France must understand that is the ideological anchor for Finer’s declaration of war on Israel. This is but one key line of effort in a perverted campaign to undermine traditional American values and core interests in favor of a very different and frightening Marxist vision for America. I will have much more to say after the Israeli election this week. For now, a reminder of the core national security interests at stake for America to win the century by working with model allies like Israel. nationalreview.com/2026/10/i…

Imagine, a man who wants Jews dead and a Jew who is too scared of the man who wants Jews dead to say she doesn't think he should be a senator! What a great choice! Imagine! I'm imagining. You asshole.

Let me get this straight. Because these olive harvests recently have been the sites of local violence (often instigated by foreign left-wing activists), Israel closes off the area to keep the peace. You numbskulls travel halfway across the world to pick the olives, make performative videos and show solidarity with terrorists, and the IDF tells you to sit this one out. Maybe, just maybe, the IDF is protecting you from mayhem and embarrassment.

Did Trump's endorsement matter for Netanyahu & why is he so stuck? My analysis of poll updates & Israeli election stuff, on @CNN @cnni with *excellent* questions from @biannagolodryga edition.cnn.com/2026/10/19/t…

Netanyahu: Iranians are building intercontinental ballistic missiles to reach the U.S., and they want those missiles to carry nuclear warheads. Every single city in the U.S. will be held hostage.

How do “journalists” know to show up randomly to a location by the dozens and await filming and reporting on a clash that hasn’t happened but has been guaranteed? Who are these “journalists”? Did we learn nothing from Gaza and the endless lack of “media” accountability?

The Prime Minister’s Office: The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation. Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable. But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual. The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence. We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

Mark: This is pathetic. I wrote a story about your stepson, David Milstein, reportedly invoking your fame in bureaucratic tussles inside the administration over, e.g., whether Israeli contractors should be integrated into US missile defense. And about him pissing off the CIA by inviting a convicted spy, Jonathan Pollard, into the US embassy. I also offered lots of quotes and arguments in Milstein's defense. Just debate the facts and issues instead of these low character attacks. Sincerely, Former News Corp. guy Sohrab Ahmari

It was always apparent that Obama knew nothing about Jewish history and was seething w antagonism. His ignorant attitudes were likely inculcated at his Indonesian madrassa, the pews of his virulently antisemitic preacher, and the radical lunatics he hung out with in Chicago.
