The United States maintains an ambiguous stance regarding Israel’s alleged nuclear program. The matter remains highly classified, with no public evidence proving Jerusalem’s nuclear capabilities. Piers seemed quite distressed by this nuance, and that the Israeli government had not disclosed classified information to @BlaiseMisztal, an American policy expert at a U.S. think tank. We direct Piers to Secretary of State @marcorubio’s June 2026 hearing: “They’ve never acknowledged to having a nuclear program,” and while there is “open source and reporting about what they may possess, and speaking frankly, most of the world assesses that they do. But they’ve never acknowledged that publicly. As a feature of our foreign policy, for a variety of reasons, we don’t discuss it in that way either.”
"You're LYING to me!" Piers Morgan challenges Jewish Institute for National Security of America's Blaise Misztal for claiming to not know whether Israel has nuclear weapons. Watch more 👇 📺 youtu.be/ToJzCtLjf0s @piersmorgan | @BlaiseMisztal

I have heard from several parents with children at U Michigan that the university has become so uncomfortable for Jewish students that some are choosing to leave. Hillel's recent decision to sever ties with Israel advocacy organizations on campus further empowers hard-left radicals who are all in for El-Sayed.
A group of people identifying as journalists for the Michigan Daily newspaper interviewed me yesterday about the attack. They never covered it. They also run Abdul ads on their website. Real journalistic integrity here.

Statement from JINSA President & CEO @MichaelMakovsky on the U.S.-Israel MOU: President Trump’s statement today about foreign aid to Israel seemed to have caught everyone by surprise. We’re not aware of any agreement to end the aid this year; in fact, both countries were working on a new MOU to replace or follow the existing MOU that was agreed to by President Obama in 2016 and set to expire in 2028. Israel has demonstrated its extraordinary value to American security—not simply as a recipient of U.S. military assistance, but as an ally that fights as an equal partner alongside American forces, shares intelligence, develops advanced military capabilities, hosts and protects U.S. personnel, and shoulders a growing share of the burden for regional security. The ongoing Iranian threat to American interests and the profound uncertainty facing the Middle East make Israel’s unique military capabilities more important to the United States than ever. An abrupt end to U.S. military assistance to Israel, all of which is used to purchase American weapons from American companies and made by American workers, serves neither country’s economy nor security interests. There should be one final MOU of equal dollar value to the existing one. JINSA has argued that the current military assistance framework should ultimately give way to a true strategic partnership built around mutual collaboration and tangible benefits to both countries. It should accelerate a new model of cooperation—one that better harnesses Israel’s military, technological, and intelligence capabilities, as well as the geographic location and security of its military bases, to strengthen American security. The question should not be how to end this relationship, but how to evolve it to meet the strategic challenges ahead.

This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens. Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors.

This should be a much bigger political story: justice.gov/usao-edmi/pr/us-…
12 indicted in Michigan for a campaign of terror against Jews. Jars of chemicals thrown into family homes. Houses marked with the red triangles Hamas uses to mark targets for death. One defendant, Mariam Odeh, worked for @AbdulElSayed 's Senate campaign. Surprised? Don't be.

Renewed strikes on Iran are a question of when, not if.   @kilmeade: They said they're not trying to rebuild their nuclear facilities. You buy that? 
@MichaelMakovsky: Yes. "Because they're afraid the U.S. or Israel will detect it."

Required reading for all those interested in American Jewish views about Israel. The connection between the two communities today is stronger, not weaker, than even 3 years ago. Don’t believe the hater BS about US Jews dumping Israel. It’s just not true. jta.org/2026/10/26/ideas/u-s…

Statements like this from Governor Hochul make Jews less safe in New York. New York’s Jews aren’t suffering because Netanyahu is prime minister. They’re suffering because antisemitism has become increasingly normalized, and too many people feel emboldened to harass, intimidate, and attack Jews. Instead of making it unequivocally clear that anti-Jewish hatred and violence will never be tolerated, you’re shifting the blame to Israel’s prime minister. Meanwhile, Israelis are voting in a democratic election to decide who they trust to keep their families safe. Making your job easier is not their responsibility. Protecting New York’s Jews is yours.
Gov. Hochul said her job would be 'a lot easier' if Netanyahu loses the election trib.al/OeUZJjY

Watch Democrat Van Jones on CNN blast the ad for Abdul El-Sayed that echos El-Sayed's words that argues that Americans have to set grocery money "aside for killing Palestinians" because of U.S. aid to Israel. Jones: "This is an example of anti-Jewish hate, and it should be taken down immediately. And denounce, and by the way, Abdul should denounce this ad immediately." @ScottJenningsKY adds: "It's economic incoherence wrapped up in anti-Semitism. So it's sort of par for the course. I mean, El-Sayed himself in this campaign has argued we can't have good education in this country because we fund the Iron Dome, which is completely wrong, nuts, economic incoherence. By the way, eggs, like $2.70 a carton, bananas, 40 or 50 cents a pound. It's economic incoherence. It's a lie, but it's all done in service to anti-Semitism. And at the same time, El-Sayed's campaign running ads featuring comments from Tucker Carlson. What is a Jewish Democrat in Michigan supposed to think right now? Why would El-Sayed have to answer these questions? It's a mystery."

I think it's weird how few people are troubled by the gist of Sayed's Islamophobia defense. If you say that asking about support for the Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamophobic attack on your religion, then at some level you're suggesting -- or at least encouraging the inference -- that the MB's form of Islam defines or informs your interpretation of Islam. There are lots of Muslims that don't subscribe to the MB version and when you ask them about the Muslim Brotherhood, they don't respond by saying "how dare you attack my religion?"
