The Oldest Hatred is back with a Vengeance

 The oldest hatred is back, and I am absolutely done with this [and I should] get angry and then get angrier.

Andrew Fox April 20th

 

I am done pulling punches. This will not be an easy read. Do not look away.

[To  hell with] this. I am furious at the antisemitism pouring through the West, confident and shameless, and at those who know it is wrong, yet sit by and let it happen and say or do absolutely nothing.

In Britain, we have already had Jews and their security guards stabbed to death. Jewish ambulances were set on fire. Now we have had multiple synagogue fire bombings in London. I woke this morning to a WhatsApp message from a Jewish friend I treasure, telling me about the latest atrocity against British Jews. I am sick of this. I am sickened by it, and I do not understand how anyone with any decency is not sickened too. Why are we not angrier?

Jewish people are being forced to answer, again, for every accusation, every fantasy, every blood libel hurled at the State of Israel. A Jewish student in London, Paris, New York or Melbourne is treated as if they sat in the Israeli war cabinet. A synagogue is treated as if it were a military installation. A kosher restaurant becomes a proxy battlefield. A Jewish child in a school uniform is expected to carry the moral weight of a war they did not start, a government they did not elect, and a region most of their accusers could not find on a map without help. It is grotesque. It is ancient hatred with new slogans. I am angry, and you should be too. If you are reading this, why [the hell] are you not angrier?

Holocaust survivors have told me in person that the atmosphere in Britain today is like 1930s Germany. Why will our leaders, our government, our legal system not listen to them? The Holocaust did not arrive fully formed. It started with demonisation, isolation and undeserved blame.

[It’s Time to Wake Up].

The blood libels are back. They have just been laundered through the language of activism, human rights and moral urgency. Jews are again cast as uniquely cruel, uniquely conspiratorial, uniquely bloodthirsty. Israel is accused not merely of error, not merely of brutality, not merely of war, but of metaphysical evil. Every casualty is flattened into proof of Jewish depravity. Every complexity is erased. Every Hamas or Hezbollah or Iranian atrocity is contextualised into mist. Jewish grief is interrogated. Jewish fear is mocked. Jewish self-defence is treated as criminal.

The most sickening expression of this is the obscene inversion of the Holocaust in Gaza. Gaza is not the Holocaust. Gaza is not Auschwitz. Gaza is not Treblinka. Gaza is not the industrialised, continent-wide mechanical attempt to exterminate an entire people. Gaza is not the murder of six million people because they were Jews. Gaza is not children selected for gas chambers, families shot into pits, communities erased from Europe, nor names turned to ash. To compare the war in Gaza to the attempted extermination of the Jewish race is an obscene desecration. There is no parallel. None whatsoever.

Civilian suffering in Gaza or Lebanon is simply a feature of [a terrorist organization that went to] war. It can be real without turning Jews into Nazis. War can be horrific without becoming the Shoah. Palestinians can be mourned without stealing the language of Jewish annihilation and weaponising it against Jews. The Holocaust is not a metaphor for anyone’s rhetorical convenience. It was a specific crime, committed against a specific people, at a specific scale, with a specific ideological purpose: the eradication of Jews from the earth. To invert it against Jews now is morally obscene.

Everyone in the West should stand with their Jewish neighbours. They should stand with Jews because Jews are being threatened, harassed, isolated and collectively blamed for the actions of a state. They should stand with Jews because history has already shown us where this road leads when decent people find a thousand elegant reasons to look away.

Silence is permission. When Jewish schools need guards, when students hide Stars of David, when families wonder whether it is safe to walk to synagogue, and when mobs chant slogans that make Jews feel hunted in the cities they call home, when Jewish ambulances and places of worship are being firebombed, the moral test is not complicated. Stand with Jews, or admit that your principles are worth piss in the wind.

The absence of solidarity is a stain. The refusal to name antisemitism because it wears a fashionable political mask is a stain. The cowardice of institutions, politicians, universities and cultural figures who can identify every hatred except this one is a stain.

What the [bloody hell] are we doing, Britain? Why are we not angrier? Why are we not forming human shields around our Jewish community? Our grandparents fought a global war so that this could never happen again. It is literally happening again, and we are standing by and doing absolutely nothing.

I am angry because Jews should not have to beg for support. Jews should not feel they have to thank someone merely for showing solidarity with them. I am raging because “Never Again” has become a slogan people applaud, yet it fails when courage is demanded. I am angry because standing by Jews is the only right option, and too many otherwise good, decent people are choosing silence, disregard or antipathy.

Look: I cannot say this anymore simply. Once they are done with the Jews, they are coming for you, too. Get [really] angry before it is too late, if not for the Jews, then for yourselves and your children

How bad does it have to get before Jews finally leave?

If you’re a parent of a British six-year-old Jewish student who is called a “baby killer” by her classmates, shouldn’t that be enough evidence that your child has no future in that school or, for that matter, in a country where such outrageous bigotry is clearly expressed in the home?

Or what about in New York City resident lives with the statistic that 55% of confirmed hate crimes in their city are antisemitic? 

Or you’re a Jewish Canadian business owner whose restaurant was shot up for the second time?

Then there’s Europe, where thousands of antisemitic incidents have been recorded, sometimes several times a day, in cities such as Berlin, London, Manchester, Amsterdam, and Antwerp – necessitating the need for armed soldiers to be deployed, just to guarantee the safety of their Jewish communities.

Of course, it wasn’t that long ago that Sydney became Ground Zero for a mass attack against 1,000 Jews, trying to observe a Hanukkah lighting ceremony at Bondi Beach. Would that be the final nail in the coffin for you to conclude that Down Under is not a safe place for a Jew?

Is it time for Jews to leave?

All of these disturbing and deadly incidents, which have been systematically perpetrated on the Jewish community after the most horrific of all attacks since the Holocaust, should alert every Jew living outside of Israel that a threshold has been reached, causing them to realize that their departure should be imminent.

Sadly, the tipoff came pretty quickly. Because the moment that the response to a gruesome and barbaric attack was to blame Jews for having instigated what took place, that was the time to figure out that moral clarity was no longer at work.

As the cruel and unimaginable details were revealed, none of them made any difference to a public that either needed very little to be convinced that Jews are the villains, or who always felt that way, but now had their opportune moment to freely express those hidden, shocking sentiments.

NONETHELESS, JEWS throughout the world persisted in believing that this is a passing phase that would disappear as mysteriously as it had emerged. All they needed was to wait it out, and everything would return to the way things were. Not only didn’t that happen, but the intensity has actually escalated, providing all the proof that is needed to understand that the world has gone mad, yet again.

While there are those few voices, such as Douglas Murray, Mosab Hassan Yousef, Yoseph Hadad, John Fetterman, Patricia Heaton, Dr. Phil, and several other prominent individuals, there are not enough of them to hold back the floodgates of Jewish hatred that are trying to overtake the planet.

For anyone who thinks that an Israel at war with Iran and Hezbollah is even riskier than remaining in their dangerous cities, they should know that fighting a distant enemy is not the same as battling a pervasive, toxic atmosphere that surrounds them day and night. The time to leave is now!

 

Trump and the End of Tehran's Illusion

• If this war stops with the regime still standing, still organized, and still capable of rebuilding, Tehran will do what it always does: declare survival a victory, turn endurance into propaganda, and return more dangerous than before. A wounded regime is not a reformed regime. It is often a more vindictive one.
• A ceasefire that leaves the regime structurally intact is not peace. It is an intermission. It is a guarantee that the same threat will return in altered form, demanding a higher price later. But military pressure alone cannot write the final chapter. That chapter belongs to the Iranian people.
• Trump has already helped shatter the myth that Tehran is untouchable. He should not now allow the regime to survive this war by pretending survival is strength. He should finish the job.
• It must end with Iran's terror state broken, America's allies strengthened, deterrence restored, and the opening of a different future for Iran and for the Middle East.

Israel’s Right to Exist

 The question of whether Israel exists by "right" is a central, deeply contested issue in international politics, law, and philosophy. Perspectives on this claim range from legal recognition to moral, historical, and ideological arguments. 

 Here is a breakdown of the different viewpoints based on current discourse:

1.    1. Legal and Diplomatic Perspective (Recognition by Right)

 UN Recognition: Israel was admitted as a member state of the United Nations on May 11, 1949. Under international law, this recognized its sovereignty and legitimacy.

• International Recognition: As of early 2026, Israel is recognized as a sovereign state by approximately 163 of the 192 other United Nations member states.
• The Oslo Accords: In the 1990s, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) officially recognized Israel's right to exist in peace and security, a cornerstone for diplomacy, according to the U.S. Department of State. 

2. Legal Skepticism (No Inherent "Right")

 International Law Argument: Many scholars argue that international law does not confer an inherent "right to exist" on any state. States are created, recognized, or dissolved based on historical, political, and military factors, rather than a codified legal right.

• Unique Application: Some critics and commentators note that Israel is often the only country asked to defend its "right to exist," a phrase that is rarely applied to other nations.
• Challenging the Basis: Some observers, such as those at the Mises Institute, argue that existence is not a legal right but a geopolitical reality, according to mises.org. 

3. Historical and Ideological Perspectives

 Self-Determination: Proponents argue that Israel exists by the right of Jewish self-determination, fulfilling a historical and religious connection to the land. This includes references to the Balfour Declaration and the UN Partition Plan of 1947.

• Contested Legitimacy: Opponents often point to the Nakba (the displacement of Palestinians in 1948) to challenge the legality of Israel's founding, arguing it was achieved through the violation of Palestinian rights, according to Jewish Voice for Labour. 

4. Current Context (Right to Exist vs. Right of Function)

• Right to Security: Many defenders emphasize that Israel’s right to exist is synonymous with the right of Jewish people not to be targeted and to have a secure state, a position reinforced by groups like the Israel Policy Forum.
• Conditions of Existence: Some, including many critics and human rights organizations (e.g., Amnesty International), argue that while Israel may exist, its actions—such as occupation, settlement expansion, and policies in the West Bank and Gaza—violate international law. 

In summary, for many, Israel's existence is a legitimate right based on international law and self-determination. For others, particularly critics of its policies, the focus is on challenging the legitimacy of its actions rather than its mere existence, or arguing that no state has an inherent "right" to exist. 

How Soroka Hospital Managed Two Mass-Casualty Events in Quick Succession

https://unitedwithisrael.org/how-soroka-managed-two-mass-casualty-events-in-quick-succession/

 By Amelie Botbol

Such events are particularly complex, as many patients suffer minor physical injuries or psychological trauma but cannot be discharged promptly because they have nowhere to go.

As nearly 200 wounded Israelis arrived at Soroka Medical Center on Saturday following Iranian missile attacks on the southern cities of Dimona and Arad, Prof. Roy Kessous, deputy director of the hospital, described how staff managed two mass-casualty events in quick succession.

At 7 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m., the hospital received alerts following a missile strike on Dimona. From that incident alone, 60 casualties were brought in, including a severely wounded 12-year-old boy who was transferred directly from initial assessment to surgery and remains in intensive care.

Kessous said the hospital is experienced in handling such situations, having dealt with multiple mass-casualty incidents in recent years.

“Very quickly, we implemented the appropriate protocols and mobilized both on-site medical personnel and staff from home,” he told JNS.

He noted that such events are particularly complex, as many patients suffer minor physical injuries or psychological trauma but cannot be discharged promptly because they have nowhere to go.

“Many of them had their homes destroyed in the missile strike. With the help of administrative teams and municipal services, we gradually discharged patients to safe locations for the night,” he said.

Shortly after the Dimona incident, the hospital was notified of another missile strike, this time on Arad. A total of 115 patients were transferred to Soroka, including 70 children. Nine were listed in serious condition, with at least twice that number moderately wounded. Many of the casualties were members of the same families.

To reduce additional distress, hospital staff compiled lists to group relatives together and ensure they were treated in proximity.

Patients arrived with blast injuries and wounds caused by missile fragments. Others were injured in falls from higher floors or while attempting to reach protected areas.

Kessous said one of the main challenges stemmed from Health Ministry directives requiring treatment to take place in protected spaces, limiting the hospital’s overall capacity.

“We are minimizing ambulatory services and have almost entirely halted elective procedures over the past three weeks,” he said. During mass-casualty incidents, the hospital closely monitors intake to avoid exceeding capacity.

“We are not alone—we have support from the Health Ministry and the Clalit Health Services. We continuously assess the number of incoming patients and determine whether transfers to other hospitals across Israel are necessary,” he said.

Capacity, Kessous added, is not defined by a fixed number, but depends on the volume and severity of incoming cases, as well as available staff—though staffing has not been a limiting factor, given the hospital’s size.

“At one point yesterday, ambulances and even a helicopter were waiting as we assessed whether transfers were needed. Fortunately, we were able to treat everyone here,” he said. “We prioritized keeping families together and avoided separating children from their parents.”

 

 

Khameini's Son's Riches

Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (who was killed in March 2026), has built a massive, secretive, and international financial empire. As of early 2026, his fortune is estimated to be in the billions of dollars, with significant assets hidden through shell companies to avoid direct links. 

Here are the key details regarding his wealth based on 2026 reports:

• Global Property Empire: Mojtaba is linked to a network of luxury properties worth over £100 million ($138 million+) in London's "Billionaire's Row" (The Bishops Avenue).
• Offshore Holdings: His fortune is spread across bank accounts and investments in the UAE (Dubai), Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and other locations.
• Business Interests: He reportedly has stakes in various entities, including Persian Gulf shipping, luxury hotels in Germany and Spain, and investments in oil and diamond industries.
• Source of Wealth: Much of his wealth is reportedly derived from his control over Setad (the Execution of Imam Khomeini's Order), a massive state-owned conglomerate with assets estimated between $95 billion and $200 billion.
• Hidden Assets: While he has acted as a "mini-supreme leader" managing his father's finances, he rarely puts assets in his own name, using intermediaries such as Iranian businessman Ali Ansari.
• Sanctions: Mojtaba was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 2019. 

Contextual Wealth
These reports of vast wealth contrast with the economic hardship and rising poverty experienced by many in Iran. Following the death of his father in March 2026, Mojtaba has been named as the new supreme leader, positioning him to inherit this economic empire. 

Something about Israel Makes People Uncomfortable

 An excellent article by Alister Heath, a British journalist for the Daily Telegraph:

 There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable, and it’s not what they say it is.

They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders, and wars. But scratch beneath the outrage, and you’ll find something deeper. A discomfort not with what Israel does, but with what Israel is.

A nation this small should not be this strong. Period.

 Israel has no oil. No special natural resources. A population barely the size of a mid-sized American city. They are surrounded by enemies. Hated in the United Nations. Targeted by terror. Condemned by celebrities. Boycotted, slandered, and attacked.

And still, they thrive like there’s no tomorrow.

In military. In medicine. In security. In technology. In agriculture. In intelligence. In morality. In sheer, unbreakable will.

 They turn desert into farmland.
They make water from air.
They intercept rockets in mid-air.
They rescue hostages under the nose of the world’s worst regimes.
They survive wars that were supposed to wipe them out, and win.

 The world watches this and can’t make sense of it. So they do what people do when they witness strength they can’t understand.

 They assume it must be cheating.
It must be American aid.
It must be foreign lobbying.
It must be oppression.
It must be theft.
It must be some dark trick that gave the Jews this kind of power.
It must be blackmail.

 Because heaven forbid it’s something else.
Heaven forbid it’s real.
Heaven forbid it’s earned.
Or worse, destined.

 The Jewish people were supposed to disappear a long, long time ago. That’s how the story of exiled, enslaved, hated minorities is supposed to end. But the Jews didn’t disappear. They actually came home, rebuilt their land, revived their language, and brought their dead back to life — in memory, in identity, and in strength. That’s not normal. It’s not political. It’s biblical.

 There’s no cheat code that explains how a group of people return to their homeland after 2,000 years.

There is no rational path from gas chambers to global influence.

And there is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, the pogroms, and the Holocaust, and still showing up to work on Monday in Tel Aviv.

 Israel doesn’t make sense.

Unless you believe in something beyond the math.

This is what drives the world crazy. Because if Israel is real, if this improbable, ancient, hated nation is somehow still chosen, protected, and thriving.

 Maybe God isn’t a myth after all.
Maybe He’s still in the story.
Maybe history isn’t random.
Maybe evil doesn’t get the last word.
Maybe the Jews are not just a people… but a testimony.

 That’s what they can’t stand.

Because once you admit that Israel’s survival isn’t just impressive, but divine, everything changes. Your moral compass has to reset. Your assumptions about history, power, and justice collapse. You realize you’re not watching the end of an empire. You’re witnessing the beginning of something eternal.

So they deny it.
They smear it.
And rage against it.

Because it’s easier to call a miracle “cheating” than to face the possibility that God keeps His promises and He’s keeping them still.
