The Latest From @MacTaskForce
Five IDF soldiers were killed and 13 others wounded in Hezbollah attacks in southern Lebanon following the ceasefire announcement.
We mourn the soldiers who fell defending Israel’s northern communities and pray for the recovery of the wounded.
Israel’s stated objective is not territory in Lebanon. It is what every nation is entitled to seek: the ability for its citizens to live in peace, raise their families in safety, and sleep without the constant threat of rockets, missiles, drones, and terrorist attacks.
As long as Hezbollah continues to wage war on behalf of Iran, both Israelis and Lebanese will pay the price.
The path forward is not more terror. It is a future in which Lebanon is free from Hezbollah’s grip, Israel’s northern communities are safe, and both peoples can one day live side by side in peace.
“It’s not your country. It is our country.”
With those words, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun delivered a message to the regime controlling the Islamic Republic of Iran that many Lebanese have been waiting years to hear. Aoun accused the regime of using Lebanon as a bargaining chip for its own interests and made clear that Hezbollah does not speak for the Lebanese people.
Lebanon deserves sovereignty, not terror group and foreign control. It’s time to free Lebanon from Iran’s grip and allow the Lebanese people, instead of Tehran’s proxies, to determine their own future.
Somaliland flags are flying in Jerusalem, but the real story is the lives being saved.
The President of Somaliland visited Save a Child’s Heart, an Israeli charity that has provided free life-saving heart care to 58 children from Somaliland (Ynet), including 9 since the historic recognition.
While many nations seek to spread division, Israel keeps saving lives.
As the world speculates about Iran’s “new leadership,” it is important to remember that the Islamic Republic is not defined by one man.
It is a system built on repression at home, support for terrorism abroad, and the export of radical ideology.
The faces and talking points may change. But as long as the same regime insiders, IRGC power brokers, and loyal enforcers remain in control, personnel changes should not be mistaken for reform.
Diplomacy and negotiations may be necessary. But no one should confuse strategic engagement with proof that the Islamic Republic has fundamentally changed.
A regime does not become moderate simply because different regime insiders are now sitting at the table.
Discrimination and hate crimes against Jews in Canada have seen a massive spike in the last few years.
More than 66% of religiously motivated hate crimes in Canada target Jews, despite them making up a tiny fraction of the population.
The extensive figures proving that antisemitic hatred in Canada, and everywhere else for that matter, shouldn’t matter. Everyone knows how bad antisemitism is, but not everyone cares to do something about it.
Figures with a questionable-at-best track record for opinions related to terrorist groups, and a failure to fully acknowledge their genocidal motivations against world Jewry, should not be entrusted with a seat on a national advisory council tasked with combatting antisemitism.
Jewish people, including Jewish Canadians, deserve to live with peace of mind that their leaders are doing everything possible to protect them.
Fighting antisemitism in Canada must start with confronting anti-Jewish ideologies. Until real steps are taken, the lives of Jewish Canadians remain in danger.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services is investigating the American Psychological Association over allegations of antisemitic discrimination and anti-Israel bias.
The probe follows a complaint filed by the Brandeis Center which details allegations by Jewish and Israeli psychologists who say the APA cultivated an extreme anti-Israel environment, including promoting “Decolonizing Therapy,” which casts Zionism as a mental illness.
No one should face discrimination in their profession because they’re Jewish, and no patient should ever have to deal with hatred just because of who they are.
38-year-old San Diego resident Reda Mazen Rida Sabassi has been charged with conspiring to provide material support to Hamas.
According to the Department of Justice, prosecutors allege that funds raised through purported charitable campaigns were diverted both to Hamas and for his own personal use, leading to charges including terrorism-related offenses, money laundering, wire fraud, and sanctions evasion.
Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared this footage from Majdal Zoun, south of the Litani River.
According to Israel’s MFA, the video shows Hezbollah weapons discovered in an area where armed groups and unauthorized weapons are prohibited under UN Security Council Resolution 1701— the framework meant to secure southern Lebanon.
Resolution 1701 was intended to help keep the area between the Blue Line and the Litani River free from armed militias and weapons that endanger civilians.
If Hezbollah weapons caches remain embedded in southern Lebanon, that is not “resistance.”
It is a direct threat to Lebanese civilians, Israeli civilians, and regional stability.
