🚨 UN report calls Israel “apartheid.” But beware the politics behind the language.

The new High Commissioner report doesn’t just describe conditions — it weaponizes the term “apartheid,” turning human rights language into a political cudgel. This has several consequences:

🔹 It reduces a complex security conflict to a buzzword.

🔹 It blurs the reality of full civil rights for Arab citizens of Israel.

🔹 It fuels campaigns of isolation and sanctions.

🔹 It deepens mistrust instead of advancing solutions.

Terms matter. And this escalation matters even more.

Yasmine Pahlavi, the wife of exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, published a story on social media in which she openly calls on Israel to bomb the ayatollah regime in support of intensifying demonstrations.

Many Iranians, both local and in the diaspora, have called on social media for Israel to get more directly involved in overthrowing the regime.

Israel is undoubtedly engaged in what is happening right now in Iran, but is taking a primarily behind-the-scenes approach. Though that engagement could still be very significant. The recent 12-Day War demonstrated now deeply Israeli secret services have infiltrated the Islamic Republic.

Two Leaders. Two Paths. One God.

This week’s Torah portion, Shmot, introduces us to Moses—but it also invites us to see deeper parallels. Born under tyranny, carried by love, and called to redeem, both Moses and Yeshua emerged in times of fear and darkness to lead their people toward light.

What happens when we compare their stories—not to blur the lines, but to uncover the shared DNA of true spiritual leadership?

From palace to carpenter’s home, from burning bush to baptism, their journeys remind us: leadership isn't about power. It's about calling.

Jewish settlement returns to northern Samaria

Israel approves 126 new homes in Sa-Nur, a community destroyed in the 2005 Disengagement.

This marks a powerful moment of return and resilience for families who never stopped dreaming of rebuilding what was lost, as well as a firm reversal of the tragic decision to uproot Jewish life from parts of the biblical heartland.

Syria’s Kurds caught in the crossfire again

As Kurdish fighters face renewed clashes with the Syrian regime, American silence under the Trump administration leaves a power vacuum—and Damascus is quick to fill it.

Is the US ceding Kurdish allies to Assad?

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar urged the West to wake up:

“The international community in general, and the West in particular, has a debt of honor to the Kurds who fought fiercely and successfully against ISIS.

“The systematic and murderous suppression of the various minorities in Syria contradicts the promises of a ‘new Syria.’ Silence on the part of the international community will lead to an escalation of violence by the Syrian regime."
