The latest libel: “Israel has developed rats of an unusual size and temperament, rodents that particularly attack the weak and diabetics, and mice that pounce on children while they sleep”

Palestinian Authority libel: Israel genetically engineered rats to attack children and diabetics
Itamar Marcus
June 10, 2026

A new PA libel against Israel is expanding daily. The PA is accusing Israel of genetically engineering rats and mice that can identify “children the elderly and diabetics,” which Israel then released into the Gaza Strip to attack the population. There indeed is a rat plague in Gaza, which likely is caused by the overabundance of “humanitarian” food entering Gaza. IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) estimates the Gaza population needs 62 tons of food a month. However, the so-called humanitarian food organizations and the UN, who possibly care more about their virtue-signaling than the needs of the people, have flooded Gaza with 300% to 400% more food than Gazans can eat. A total of 370 tons entered in just the first month and a half after the ceasefire. The hundreds of tons of food sitting in warehouses have become humanitarian aid for hungry rats and not for satisfied Gazans. However, as is Palestinian Authority policy, whenever a problem exists, it blames Israel. READ MORE

US Federal Watchdog Finds Over 100 UNRWA Staffers Linked to Hamas, Oct. 7 Attack
Corey Walker
June 9, 2026

More than 100 staffers at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) are affiliated with Hamas’ military wing and participated in the Palestinian terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre across southern Israel, according to the US government’s oversight body responsible for monitoring American foreign assistance. The inspector general’s office for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) revealed on Friday that it found evidence showing 101 current and former UNRWA employees also operated as Hamas terrorists. The federal watchdog said it referred every individual to the US State Department for suspension or debarment from US-funded aid programs. “Among the individuals referred were UNRWA school principals, teachers, security personnel, attendants, psychosocial counselors, and medical professionals,” the USAID inspector general noted.

Muslim Brotherhood backers Qatar indoctrinating your children
Clifford D. May
June 9, 2026

…In a foreword to “Mapping Qatar’s $400 Billion Footprint in the United States,” FDD executive director Jonathan Schanzer points out that the ruling Al Thani family has sheltered Al-Qaeda, supported the Taliban, remains a patron of Hamas, and is the primary backer of the Muslim Brotherhood, “a global network of violent and nonviolent Islamist groups that seek the downfall of the West. Several branches of this network have recently been sanctioned by the U.S. government.” If you understand this, you also grasp why it’s disturbing that Qatar has spent more than $8.8 billion to infiltrate U.S. higher education. The schools that receive the most Qatari funding are those with satellite campuses in Doha: Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, Northwestern, Virginia Commonwealth, and Texas A&M —which announced in 2024 that it will close its Doha campus by 2028. Qatar also has set up partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities. READ MORE

Fetterman: Outlook for Jews in Democratic Party is ‘bleak’
Matthew Shea
June 10, 2026

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), a stalwart ally of Israel and the Jewish community who has become increasingly isolated within a Democratic Party facing internal friction over its Middle East policy, warned on Wednesday that the outlook for Jewish voters within his party has become “bleak.”…Fetterman expressed concern that the trajectory of the party will continue to “deteriorate,” noting that he “refuses to be part” of what he claims to have predicted would occur within the Democratic ranks. He added that he is “constantly disappointed but not surprised by the way things have drifted within the party.” …Fetterman stated that the problem is most acute among the “young generation,” arguing that the environment on college campuses and behavior of certain Democratic candidates have contributed to the alarming shift…“This might be controversial for Democrats now, but I’ll say it again. I think it’s magnificent the way Israel continues to this day to eliminate people in Hamas and everyone that is tied to the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks” Fetterman said. READ MORE

US building military base on Gaza border with no clear purpose

June 10, 2026

…Israel Hayom has learned that the US military has begun building a huge base on the Gaza Strip border, not far from the Re’im camp. The base is intended to serve as a military and civilian headquarters for the organizations and forces that will arrive in the area to advance the Trump plan, and to replace the multinational headquarters that was located in Kiryat Gat…As part of the infrastructure work at the new base, plans include the construction of a tower intended for command and control of forces in the field. It has also emerged that the Americans have already begun issuing various tenders for construction of the base, including tenders for the supply of mobile structures intended for use by the forces and headquarters until permanent buildings are established at the site.

‘We’re Not Alone’: Canadian Community Shows Up 60,000 Strong for ‘Walk With Israel’ March
Dion J. Pierre
June 8, 2026

An estimated 60,000 people marched through the streets of Toronto on Sunday for a “Walk with Israel” to show support for both the Jewish state and Canada’s Jewish community amid surging levels of antisemitic violence, discrimination, and extreme anti-Israel activity across the country. Organized by the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) Federation of Greater Toronto, the annual demonstration was the 57th since being established in 1969. Sunday saw a record crowd, drawing 4,000 more activists than last year. A multitude of people comprised those in attendance, including an array of non-Jewish allies from the Black, Christian, Hindu, an Asian communities. Together, they stared down the anti-Zionists who nipped at the edges of the event barking pro-Hamas slogans and jihadist invective. READ MORE

Why It’s Futile to Debate Israel’s Enemies
Sam Harris
June 8, 2026

…The problem in the Middle East is not, and has never been, the existence of the State of Israel. The problem is jihadism, Islamism, Islamic extremism, Islamofascism, militant Islam—or whatever words you want to use to describe the belligerence and triumphal lunacy of those who take the most pernicious doctrines of Islam too seriously. I won’t debate the history of the Middle East because it is irrelevant to resolving the conflict there. Of course, many people insist that we must disentangle and reconsider every strand of this history, going back at least a century. The reason I’m convinced that this is a fool’s errand is simple: Palestinians and Israelis have discrepant accounts of the past, and no amount of study or debate will reconcile them. READ MORE

Five Jewish WWI soldiers receive Star of David headstones in France after a century beneath crosses
June 5, 2026

Five Jewish American soldiers killed in World War I received new headstones bearing Stars of David at France’s Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery on June 2, replacing Latin crosses that had marked their graves for more than a century. The American Battle Monuments Commission made the changes in coordination with Operation Benjamin, a nonprofit that works to identify Jewish U.S. service members buried under incorrect religious markers. The marker replacements of the soldiers—Pvt. Samuel Tamkin, Pfc. Barney Bardman, Pvt. Samuel A. Backer, Pvt. Hyman Aronoff and Pfc. Maurice W. Akabas—were approved after historical research and documentation were submitted to the U.S. government, along with requests from the soldiers’ families…Since partnering with the American Battle Monuments Commission in 2018, the group has helped secure dozens of headstone changes at American military cemeteries overseas.

How Hezbollah’s Oct. 7 was foiled at the last moment
Amit Segal
June 4, 2026

On the streets of Israel, it’s easy to spot the sourness and bitterness regarding the events on the northern front, from the children running to bomb shelters, to the devastating news from the drone fields across the border, and all the way to slamming the brakes on an attack in Beirut. The difficult conversation between Trump and Netanyahu didn’t help the feeling that there is a plan, either. These feelings do not reach the upper floors of the Kirya. At the top of the military, they speak of an achievement unseen in years, and of an opportunity for peace and quiet for many long years. Reconciling these two pictures is impossible, but describing them is. The IDF’s top brass is convinced that Hezbollah is a semi-dismantled organization that has absorbed the hardest blow in its history. It had thirty thousand fighters on October 6, 2023; since then, 8,000 have been killed and about the same number wounded. “Even a jihadist enemy is dying for a ceasefire.” READ MORE

IDF general survives Hezbollah assassination attempt in southern Lebanon

Hezbollah attempted to assassinate Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo with an explosive-laden first-person view (FPV) drone during a recent visit to southern Lebanon, military officials said on Thursday. The drone struck Milo’s vehicle shortly after he had gotten out. No injuries were reported. The attack highlighted the growing danger Hezbollah drones pose to IDF troops in southern Lebanon and reflected the ongoing tactical learning battle between the sides, with security officials saying Hezbollah has largely pulled back from direct gun battles while increasingly using low-cost drones to target soldiers, vehicles and military positions, including at night.

DRONEXL Hezbollah imports Ukraine’s fiber-optic drone playbook, and Israel has no jammer for it Hezbollah is now killing Israeli soldiers with the same fiber-optic FPV drones that reshaped the battlefield in Ukraine, and Israel’s main counter-drone tool, electronic jamming, does nothing to stop them. Since April 2026, drones guided by thin optical cables have killed at least ten Israeli soldiers and one civilian in southern Lebanon, according to figures reported this week. The weapons fly with no radio link to jam, throw almost no radar or thermal signature, and unspool a hair-thin fiber line that carries an uncompressed video feed straight back to an operator who may be more than a dozen miles away.
