Rep. Brian Mast spoke out against continued U.S. support for UNRWA after a new investigation by the U.S. Agency for International Development inspector general’s office found that 101 additional UNRWA staff members, including educators, were identified as having participated in the October 7 attacks.
He explained that an organization whose own staff aided and abetted terrorists should not receive the world’s trust and funding.
UNRWA is increasingly coming to be viewed as one of the clearest examples of what happens when corruption, radicalization, and institutional failure are allowed to fester under the banner of humanitarianism.
Dr. Phil is using his platform to remind people that blood libel against Jews isn’t some medieval relic. It’s one of the oldest and most poisonous forms of anti-Jewish hatred, but it continues to reappear as grotesque, dehumanizing lies about Jews are repackaged for modern audiences.
By pushing back on the infamous NYT opinion piece by Nicholas Kristof and explaining the history of blood libel, he’s helping expose how dangerous these narratives are. Too many people are still unaware of the history of antisemitism and how it manifests.
These lies are designed specifically to inflame hatred, justify violence, and make the Jewish people seem uniquely evil. Education, and calling out these poisonous falsehoods, is vital to making a better world.
Dr. Zachias Moonde Muulu, a pediatric heart surgeon from Zambia, appeared on The Anchor Podcast to share how training with Israel’s Save a Child’s Heart is helping him bring lifesaving cardiac care to children far away from Israel.
His story is a powerful reminder that Israel’s impact is not only measured in innovation, but in human lives saved. Through medical training, partnership, and humanitarian care, programs like Save a Child’s Heart are creating ripple effects across continents.
Dr. Muulu’s decision to remain in Israel and continue to serve during one of its most difficult periods speaks to the depth of that connection, and to the values of compassion, courage, and service that transcend borders.

At Toronto’s Walk for Israel yesterday, Iranians stood shoulder to shoulder with Jews in a powerful display of solidarity and shared values. As participants celebrated Israel and the friendship between the Iranian and Jewish peoples, the Islamic Republic was once again launching ballistic missiles at the Jewish state.
Among the marchers was Salman Sima, an Iranian dissident who was imprisoned by the regime before escaping Iran. Having participated in the Walk for Israel for years, Sima spoke about the common struggle of Iranians and Israelis against terrorism, extremism, and the jihadist regime that has held the Iranian people hostage for decades.
The regime in Tehran does not speak for the Iranian people. Time and again, brave Iranian voices have shown that the path to peace lies not in hatred and violence, but in freedom, dignity, and mutual respect.

According to a MEMRI translation, Iranian economist Mohammad-Reza Yazdizadeh recently claimed that Iran could turn its stockpile of highly enriched uranium into “dirty-bomb missiles” and retaliate against Washington if the regime is attacked.
That is the point that should alarm the world.
A dirty bomb is not the same as a nuclear weapon, but it is designed to spread radioactive material, create panic, contaminate civilian areas, and terrorize populations. For a figure in Iran’s public sphere to openly discuss such a threat against Israel and the United States is deeply disturbing.
Iran’s nuclear program is already the subject of serious international concern, with the IAEA warning that it has been unable to verify the status and location of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
When Iranian voices openly discuss radiological weapons while threatening democratic nations, those warnings cannot be ignored.
The international community should treat Iran’s nuclear ambitions — and its willingness to threaten mass civilian intimidation — with the seriousness they deserve.
At the ADL’s recent conference, Cindy Crawford delivered a powerful message of solidarity, proudly standing with her Jewish husband, family, and friends while rejecting antisemitism and hatred in all its forms.
At a time when too many people with large platforms stay silent, voices like hers remind us that combating antisemitism is not only a Jewish responsibility. It’s a responsibility shared by everyone who believes in dignity, equality, and human rights.
Thank you, Cindy, for using your platform to stand with the Jewish community and against hate.

At the AJC Global Forum, Rep. Josh Gottheimer shared a striking moment from his recent trip to the UAE: a senior Emirati leader asked him the question “What is happening with antisemitism in the United States?
The fact that leaders in the Middle East are expressing concern about rising antisemitism in America should be a wake-up call.
Antisemitism is not just a Jewish problem. It’s a test of whether a society is willing to defend civil rights and the safety of all its communities.
Growing up in Lebanon, Rawan Osman admired Hezbollah and embraced many of the narratives she was taught from a young age.
Today, she is one of the strongest voices challenging those beliefs, speaking openly about how groups like Hezbollah and Hamas have repeatedly sabotaged opportunities for peace, coexistence, and a better future for people across the region.
Her journey is a powerful reminder that extremism is learned, but it can also be unlearned. Real courage is being willing to question what you’ve been taught and speak the truth, even when it’s unpopular with those around you.
