43 years ago today, Hezbollah terrorists murdered 241 American service members in Beirut, carrying out one of the deadliest attacks against U.S. forces since World War II. The Islamic Republic’s fingerprints were on that atrocity, just as they have been on decades of terrorism targeting Americans and our allies. Today, we honor the 241 Americans murdered in Beirut and reaffirm that their sacrifice must never be forgotten. Remembering their sacrifice also means confronting the regime responsible. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

Israeli companies have created 57,000 jobs in New York alone, while Israeli investment in the United States has reached $24 billion. From cybersecurity and defense to healthcare and technology, Israeli innovation is creating jobs, attracting investment, and strengthening some of our most important industries. The economic case for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship speaks for itself.

Secretary Rubio is right. The UN has become a haven for political hypocrisy, where dictatorships sit in judgment of democracies, antisemitism is disguised as human rights advocacy, and Israel is relentlessly condemned while the world’s worst human rights abusers escape accountability. The UN’s credibility crisis is entirely of its own making.

Thank you, @SenRickScott!

The fourth season of Netflix’s The Diplomat includes a moving tribute to Hersh Goldberg-Polin, the American-Israeli hostage abducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and murdered in captivity, as well as his friend Aner Shapira, who was killed while protecting others during the massacre. In the episode, a character named Polin is remembered for fighting alongside British and American forces during World War II, a subtle tribute connecting Hersh and Aner’s legacy to a history of courage and sacrifice. The series was created by Debora Cahn, a descendant of Holocaust survivors whose Jewish heritage has influenced her storytelling. Hersh’s mother, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, said she was moved to learn of the tribute, recognizing the efforts of people worldwide to ensure the hostages’ stories are never erased or rewritten. More than three years after October 7, tributes like this help preserve the memory of Hersh, Aner, and the countless lives devastated by Hamas’s atrocities. timesofisrael.com/new-season…

Abdul El-Sayed’s claim that Israel is not a friend of the United States betrays a stunning ignorance of America’s strategic interests. Israel is one of our most valuable allies in the Middle East, providing critical intelligence, confronting shared enemies, and carrying out operations that spare American forces significant risks and burdens. Few allies contribute as directly to American security in such a volatile region. Reducing decades of strategic cooperation to a cheap political talking point is an embarrassing display of foreign policy illiteracy.

A historic moment for Israeli gymnastics! 🇮🇱 For the first time, two Israeli gymnasts have qualified for the same floor exercise final at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Olympic champion Artem Dolgopyat and rising star Noam Berkovich will represent Israel among the world’s top eight finalists, with Berkovich reaching this milestone in his very first senior season. An incredible achievement for both athletes and a proud moment for Israel. Wishing them both success in Saturday’s final! ynetnews.com/sport/article/s…

The idea that “freeing Palestine” is somehow synonymous with “freeing humanity” reveals just how deeply antisemitic conspiracy theories have infiltrated modern political discourse. Follow that logic to its conclusion. If humanity cannot be free until Palestine is “liberated,” then Israel must somehow be responsible for the world’s suffering. From there, it is a short descent into the familiar conspiracy theories about Jewish control of governments, financial institutions, the media, and global affairs. This is how antisemitism is repackaged for a new generation.

Three years after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, more than 1,000 Christians from around the world gathered at the Nova Music Festival site to honor those brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists and stand in solidarity with the people of Israel. At the very site where hundreds of innocent festivalgoers were massacred, they came together in prayer and remembrance. Their gathering was a moving display of Christian solidarity with Israel and a reminder of the enduring friendship between Christians and Jews.

Colombia has officially opened its embassy in Jerusalem, becoming the tenth country to recognize Israel’s capital through its diplomatic presence. The historic move comes just two years after former President Gustavo Petro severed diplomatic relations with Israel. Under President Abelardo de la Espriella, Colombia has restored diplomatic ties. We applaud Colombia’s leadership for taking this important step and reaffirming its partnership with the Jewish state. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_e…

A New York City public school teacher joined agitators in disrupting a vigil honoring the victims of Hamas’ October 7 massacre. As families and mourners gathered to remember those murdered, a hateful mob drowned out their voices with hostile chants. It is disgraceful that someone entrusted with educating children would participate in the harassment of people grieving victims of terrorism. These families came together to honor their loved ones, only to be met with hatred. The NYC Department of Education must thoroughly investigate this incident and take appropriate disciplinary action. nypost.com/2026/10/11/us-new…

One year ago today, Israeli hostages returned home after 738 days of brutal captivity at the hands of Hamas. After two years of anguish, uncertainty, and relentless prayers, families were finally able to embrace the loved ones they feared they might never see again. Those reunions brought moments of extraordinary relief and joy to a nation that had spent two years fighting for their return. Today, we remember the suffering they endured, the resilience of their families, and the moment they finally came home. 🎗️🇮🇱

Elie Wiesel warned that neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Now the Nobel Peace Prize goes to Navi Pillay, who accused Israel of genocide. His son, Elisha Wiesel, calls it a betrayal of his father’s legacy. When the world turns the Jewish state into the accused for defending itself, the Nobel Committee isn’t advancing peace. It’s abandoning the moral clarity that made the prize matter. thefp.com/p/elie-wiesel-deat…

We need more like this!

A United Airlines pilot who reportedly praised Hamas’s October 7 massacre as “brave” was allowed to return to flying after his initial suspension. Now, following renewed scrutiny, United has grounded him again. Praising the massacre of innocent civilians isn’t just another political opinion. It’s a profound failure of judgment for someone entrusted with passengers’ lives jpost.com/international/arti…

The ICC’s politicization of international justice has undermined its credibility and threatened the sovereignty of democratic nations. We commend Secretary Rubio and the administration for taking decisive action to defend American sovereignty and stand with Israel against the Court’s overreach.

Hundreds of Christians gathered at Jerusalem’s historic Tower of David for the Global Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, joining believers around the world in prayer for Israel and its people. A powerful display of Christian solidarity with the Jewish state. 📹 Eagles’ Wings

Three years ago today, Israel awoke to unimaginable horror. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists invaded communities across southern Israel, murdering more than 1,200 people and kidnapping more than 250 others. Families were shattered. Entire communities were devastated. The brutality of that day left a wound that time cannot erase. Three years later, we remember every life stolen. We honor the survivors who carry the weight of that day with them. We stand with the families whose lives were forever changed. October 7 is a solemn reminder of the consequences of terrorism, the cost of hatred, and the responsibility to confront both wherever they appear. May the memories of those murdered be a blessing. May their stories never be forgotten. And may we never allow the world to look away.

Mayor Mamdani says he wants to combat antisemitism. Yet his plan doubles funding for a city program that includes the Arab American Association of New York, which has cheered anti-Israel protests and encampments. You cannot fight antisemitism while directing more taxpayer dollars to groups that fuel hostility toward Israel.
