There are moments in history when you feel the ground move. Not an earthquake – more like an old wooden table that an empire was built on, and suddenly someone discovers that one of the legs has been eaten by termites.
This is what Iran looks like in 2026.
Israel is not the problem – it is the proof.
Proof that Jews have not surrendered – that they have no longer accepted the status of dhimmi, that they dare to be sovereign, armed, and victorious.
Americans are now discovering what we in Israel learned a long time ago: tolerance is great – until someone takes advantage of it to take control of you.
The Netherlands – the land of freedom, cannabis, rights and cheese – seems like the last place where Sharia would find a sympathetic audience. But as we learned from neighboring Belgium: The world of 2025, what seemed impossible becomes reality before you’ve even finished your latte in Amsterdam.
The Europe of late 2025 is a history lesson for us all: an entire continent that sold itself out in the name of empty values.
