Governor Kathy Hochul, in a desperate attempt to fend off a primary challenger in next year’s gubernatorial election, has endorsed socialist Zohran Mamdani to be the next mayor of New York City. This feckless and cowardly endorsement unmasks the bald truth of today’s Democratic Party — that they are ideologically captured by far-left, progressive, anti-American, anti–Western civilization socialists, and they have no clue how to stop it.
The UAE’s threats over Judea and Samaria reveal the hollowness of “peace” built on extortion. Prime Minister Netanyahu must seize the historic moment to assert sovereignty.
The Abraham Accords were rightly celebrated as a diplomatic breakthrough. After decades of stalemate, Arab states like the United Arab Emirates agreed to normalize ties with Israel without demanding endless concessions to the Palestinians. For once, peace seemed possible on the basis of mutual recognition rather than capitulation.
The fact that the Jewish people are a minority brings with it unique and inherent risks. That minority status exposes us to dangers that others can afford to overlook.
The question is not whether Jewish communities need to protect themselves – the question is how.
On the White House lawn five years ago, the historic and groundbreaking Abraham Accords were signed. Largely ignored by the media and the international community because they were brokered by President Donald Trump, the Accords normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, ushering in an era of unprecedented cooperation.
Unfounded rumors of Mayor Eric Adams dropping out of his bid for re-election to take a job in the Trump administration gave the sane community of New York City and the surrounding areas some hope. Unfortunately, Adams’ much-ballyhooed presser was merely a commitment to stay in the race, thus splitting the opposition to socialist/certified lunatic Zohran Mamdani and all but ensuring his victory.
“United we stand, divided we fall” sounds logical — but is it practical or even possible?
