“Israel is entering a form of isolation,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday at the Finance Ministry’s Accountant General’s Conference, adding, “We will increasingly need to adapt to an economy that, in certain areas, has autarkic [self- sufficient] characteristics.” “We may find ourselves in a situation where we are blocked not only in terms of research and development, but also in actual industrial production. First and foremost, we will need to develop our own capabilities to cope independently,” he said.

‘Qatar is purchasing the West on behalf of Islam’
“Qatar has developed a unique formula – almost like a global start-up – comparable to Charlie Chaplin sending a boy to break windows and then coming to fix them,” Ailam told Arutz Sheva-Israel National News. “They created a model that enables Qatar to be a dominant player on the world stage. Today Qatar is a diplomatic, economic, and media empire, deliberately built to become a central actor internationally.”

He added that officials are also reviewing existing visas and that he expects some to be revoked.

Mark Levin at Netanyahu trial: ‘No way this would pass standards of justice in America’
“I wanted to see with my own two eyes the injustice of the lawfare that has been unleashed against” Netanyahu, the Fox News talk-show host told JNS. “It was actually much worse than I thought. The level of tedious irrelevancies and absurd processes and distractions from the prime minister’s incredibly serious official duties is unconscionable,” he continued. Levin said it was worse than U.S. President Donald Trump’s description of the legal proceedings as a “witch hunt.” The president also called it a “horror show” in calling for its cancellation on June 25.

Until The Rapture Trumpet Sounds, The Church Must Not Cower In The Corner
September 11, 2001, is a date forever etched upon the minds and hearts of Americans old enough to remember the devastating attacks by terrorists who hijacked planes and used them as weapons of mass destruction. Twenty-four years minus one day after September 11, 2001, a Christian citizen like you and me, Kirk, became the target of an evil person – or movement, perhaps – who plotted to destroy him and what he stood for. The assassin wanted to silence this bold conservative voice and many like-minded Americans. I believe what this murderer intended for evil will be turned into good, as a chorus of Christians with a biblical worldview are now emboldened to live out their faith in the public square.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not” (John 8:44-45).

Nepal Final Count: 72 Dead, Thousands Injured in Free Speech Clashes
Nepal is finally counting up the total cost of its recent efforts to limit free speech. The death toll has now reached a staggering 72, with more than 2,100 confirmed injured, following the nationwide shutdown of 26 social media platforms which triggered youth-led protests and a lethal response from security forces. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned, and former chief justice Sushila Karki now leads an interim government. Curfews in the country’s capital, Kathmandu, have been lifted, and the army’s presence is limited to key sites only. It would seem the immediate crisis has eased, but this is nowhere near being declared over.

European Commission’s war mongering against Russia is to distract from its crumbling empire

Inside a British Mosque: Teaching How to Bury and Stone Women Alive
In disturbing footage from Green Lane Mosque in 2023, Shaykh Zakaullah Saleem — the mosque’s Head Imam and Head of Education — described in chilling detail how to carry out stoning and public flogging under his reading of Sharia law: stoning married adulterers to death; meting out 100 lashes to unmarried offenders “in front of large gatherings” with “no mercy”; and even instructing that women be buried up to the waist before being pelted with stones.”

Congo Massacre: 100 Christians Slain in Islamic Terror Onslaught
In Congo’s blood-soaked villages, where Christians are slaughtered at funerals and in their fields, the world’s silence proves that Islam’s war on the Church never ended—it is only ignored.

The sad news of the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk shed light on the elephant in the world’s living room. It exposed society’s underlying hatred of anything good, especially true Christians. Let’s take a realistic look at the reason behind the hate and what the Christian response should be.

Although the hatred of believers is nothing new, the crescendo of vitriol and violence is. In the coming days, much will be said about the need for civil discourse, the open exchange of ideas, and free speech, which are good things, of course. But despite our best efforts to appeal to humanity’s ‘better nature,’ the problem remains, and it’s the utter depravity of the human heart.

In John 15:18-25, Jesus warned about the world’s hatred of His followers and explained exactly why they will hate us. They hate us because we’re not of the world, our identity is in His name, and they hate Him and the Father. Jesus said that the world would actually love us if we belonged to it. So here we are, roughly twenty centuries later, and the hatred of Christians has only increased, as was just shown in vivid evil detail, with the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Some people might blame the violence and vitriol directed at Christians on a lack of sustenance. In our modern society, we have the benefit of plumbing, food, and medicine. I am aware that there are areas of scarcity and lack around the globe. But in the West, sustenance is generally within reach, if not plentiful. As a minister, I’ve seen firsthand the amount of practical and tangible help available to people in need in the inner cities, if they take the time to find, ask for, and receive it. So hate doesn’t come from a lack of help. It also doesn’t come from a lack of information or education.

When Jesus told His followers that the world would hate them, it was at a time when education was generally limited to those with wealth or connections. We know from history that the Roman world was a time when a majority of the people were uneducated. So maybe the lack of information and education was the reason for the hatred of Christians. That wasn’t the case because the people fanning the flames of hatred were the authorities and the educated.

But now we have a wealth of accumulated knowledge and terabytes of digital information at our fingertips. For the first time in history, social media platforms have enabled unlimited human interaction and connectivity. The opportunity to share thoughts, ideas, and beliefs with the masses has arrived, and with it comes the unmasking of the wicked human heart 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

Just a few years ago, there was a level of civility and decorum expected in both public and private settings. In just the last decade, empathy and human kindness have given way to widespread apathy and hatred, and this is on full display on the internet. But now the angry anonymous keyboard critic has rematerialized in the public square as the hater in your face. Society is in a perilous state when buying a particular brand of car, voting a certain way, or telling the truth becomes a dangerous act. Ironically, most so-called tolerant people are anything but when it comes to differing views on social issues and faith in public. We used to be able to agree to disagree. Disagreement used to get you cancelled, now it might get you killed Philippians 1:28.

Thoughts on politics, free speech, and where society is heading are understandable given recent events. Still, the fact remains that there are people in our world who hate good and love evil, and because lawlessness is increasing, the love of many will grow cold. The response of true Christians isn’t to bring the fight to our enemies or to repay violence with violence. Far from shrinking back, we should speak the truth in love to those who are unloving, with gentleness and respect, giving a reason for the hope that we have. We must pray for our enemies while understanding they have an enemy of their souls who wants to destroy them. Christians should be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, using spiritual discernment as we navigate society as salt and light Matthew 5:13.

A time is coming, if not already here, when standing for Jesus will increasingly cost us. We might be told to tamp it down, not to speak in that name, or from that book. Our response is to listen to God rather than people, let the Spirit speak through us, and pray for boldness Acts 4:29. Such a response will result in bringing glory to God in this world and for eternity. Every blessing as you make Jesus known. Let us remember to pray for Charlie Kirk’s family.

All for Jesus,
