Israel’s Arab Vote: The Kingmaker or a Political Dead End? Watch on @i24NEWS_EN with @Nicole_Zedeck and @ariel_oseran youtube.com/watch?v=tV66Dm5Z… 21% of the population has played only a limited role in coalition governments; it is now the Kingmaker. The Ra’am party has demonstrated a willingness to participate in a governing coalition, but questions remain about its political red lines, and after October 7, many Israelis remain deeply skeptical.

"Trump could now ask Israel for favours - withdrawal from Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. The best outcome for Israel and the United States is a unity government but that's unlikely because of how Netanyahu has behaved in previous rotations." @MepinOrg joins me on Israel in 10 to break down partial election results. Full episode dropping soon. @MisgavINSen

For my latest, I quoted El-Sayed's exact statements that match the 'grocery' ad that everyone agrees is anti-Semitic. Just to be clear that you cannot find one acceptable and the other beyond the pale: commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

Add it to the list. Another British “aid charity” faces @ChtyCommission scrutiny, again over alleged Hamas ties, writes @Telegraph. “Human rights organisation” is increasingly associated w/ flawed research, questionable claims, alleged militant links & poor accountability. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10… @hrw @SaveOneLifeUK @AlKhairUK @AmnestyUK

But asking the candidate about his family’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood is Islamophobic.
New low for normalized Jew-hate in the American Democratic Party. Very sad: Painting your political opponents as puppets of Jews, as this El-Sayed ad does, and as crazed baby-killers and money-grubbing villains who are the root cause of every bad thing not just in the world, but in your life—from wars to the price of eggs to the reason you can’t have free healthcare—is not just low-grade Jew-hate. It’s pure Third Reich stuff, translated directly from the original German. Do you remember when Jewish Democrats in Michigan explained that they would vote for El-Sayed despite his open disdain for Jews, since there are many other important issues they need him to fight for? That anything was worth it to “defeat MAGA”? Well, here’s El-Sayed’s answer to them: Don’t worry, all those issues we agree on, like healthcare, inflation, and climate change, I’m going to make them about Jews too! I will tell the public that the Jews are the reason they can’t have those things.

Anti-Jewish lies through the ages: ❌ 1300s: Jews poisoned the wells ❌ 1400s: Jews murder children for religious rituals ❌ 1500s: Jews are inherently treacherous sorcerers ❌ 1600s: Jews are economic parasites ❌ 1700s: Jews are secret orchestrators of global revolution ❌ 1800s: Jews control the global currency ❌ 1920s: Jews control the banks and media ❌ 1950s: Jews are "rootless cosmopolitans" ❌ 2000s: Jews orchestrated 9/11 ❌ 2026: Jews stole your bananas and eggs The lies have changed. The hatred for Jews has stayed the same. Cenk Uygur's ad for Abdul El-Sayed isn't selling new politics. It's just recycling old hate.

Unless Abdul El-Sayed immediately demands that this campaign ad be taken down and unequivocally condemns it and its creators, he will be exposed as a vile, dangerous, and divisive antisemite. Any (of my fellow) Democrats who condemn the disgusting Ramaswamy ad in Ohio but do not condemn this deserve our unflinching contempt.

There are two kinds of Jews in the world today. The first comes to Israel to pick fruits and vegetables in the south after October 7 left the country without any workers to harvest the agricultural fields. The second comes to Israel to pick confrontations and provocations for photo ops and a few likes in the land where most of the people cheered on October 7. Only one of these groups will still be here when the current psychosis the world is experiencing is over. I’ll leave it to you to guess which one, but I'll give you a hint: search the phrase "what happened to the bund?"
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

My latest on @ILTVNews with @calevbd and former Unit 8200 Commander Brig. Gen. (ret.) Hanan Gefen. youtube.com/watch?v=k2mAgPFu… Iran and the elections: Could Tehran attack Israel to disrupt the Israeli and U.S. elections? The Houthi threat: How is an Iranian-backed militia exposing Saudi Arabia's vulnerabilities despite its massive defense spending? Israel's red lines: Will Iran's renewed ballistic missile production and nuclear-site activity trigger another Israeli military strike? Trump's leverage: Does President Trump have the will to pressure Turkey's Erdogan and Pakistan to help defend Saudi Arabia? A new regional alliance: Why could a U.S.-Israel-UAE-Saudi alignment offer a strategic path to countering Iran and its proxies?
