🚨 Bild: The Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg is at risk of closure, and hundreds of workers face layoffs because the Qatar Investment Authority is blocking a deal between the plant and Israeli Defense company Rafael to produce components for the Iron Dome. The Qatar Investment Authority, the third-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, is vetoing the deal with Rafael.
The diplomatic isolation of Israel during the war in Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre will go down in history as a moral failure and a defeat of humanity, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy said on Thursday.
“The absence of support for Israel will be considered by future historians as a moment of huge disgrace for the West,” Lévy told JNS in an interview in Tel Aviv. “It is a defeat of humanity and a moral defeat. It is the loss of any moral compass.”
Lévy, who lives in Paris, rushed to Israel the day after the Oct. 7 attacks and the following year penned Israel Alone, a book about the lack of diplomatic support for the Jewish state in the West.
“I was beyond shocked,” he said.
He was back in Israel on Thursday to deliver the keynote address at the annual conference on contemporary antisemitism hosted by the Comper Center for the Study of Antisemitism and Racism at the University of Haifa. The gathering is the largest annual academic conference on modern-day antisemitism, drawing an estimated 550 participants, including 250 in-person presenters, with others joining virtually from abroad.
The 77-year-old French intellectual, commonly known as BHL, decried the surge in antisemitism, which he called “unprecedented in my lifetime,” noting that he rarely gives lectures in France for security reasons and that the only safe place for him to speak in the United Kingdom is a synagogue.
“Even if I come to speak about philosophy or non-Jewish issues, the only safe place for me in the U.K. is a synagogue,” he said.

Dr. King warned that if the Arab population in the region remained in poverty, the Israelis would be the scapegoats (1968).
He was correct.
Bayard Rustin warned that if the international community (UN) didn't take terrorism against Israelis seriously, we would soon have global terrorism (1975).
He was correct.
Former Black Panther turned Zionist, Eldridge Cleaver, warned that once the Arab states began using oil money as a weapon, the US would eventually betray Israel (1975).
He was correct.
Black pro-Israel voices have always been prophetic. And, similar to the Biblical prophets, most didn't listen to them.
Not much has changed.
In 1948, British led and armed Jordanian troops ethnically cleansed every last Jew from Jerusalem’s Old City — and tried to wipe out every trace of Jewish life.
After capturing the Jewish Quarter, Jordanian forces expelled the remaining Jews. As they trudged toward Zion Gate carrying what little they could, Arab civilians swarmed in “like locusts” to loot. One proud Muslim led his family away with Torah scrolls from a synagogue and a carton of matzos balanced on his daughter’s head.
Photographer John Phillips captured it all: the vacant stares of exhausted Jewish fighters, a terrified girl running with bared teeth like a trapped animal, and a makeshift hospital where a round loaf of bread sat beside a man who would soon die.
By May 29, the Quarter was a charred and burnt-out shell.
The Jordanian commander, Abdullah el-Tell, boasted:
“For the first time in 1000 years not a single Jew remains in the Jewish Quarter. Not a single building remains intact. This makes the Jews’ return here impossible.”
Just like the Romans nearly 2,000 years earlier, they failed.
Nineteen years later, in 1967, Jews returned to a reunited Jerusalem. The Jewish Quarter was rebuilt. The ancient synagogues were restored. And the Jewish connection to their holiest city — unbroken for over 3,000 years — endures stronger than ever.
Some bonds cannot be erased.
TERRIFYING: Moroccans in the Netherlands are blaming Jews for their defeat and gathering outside a place where they think Israeli tourists are staying. They chant:
“All Jews are fags! Hamas! Hamas! Send the Jews back to the gas chambers!”

🇯🇵 America spends over $5 billion a year stationing 55,000 troops in Japan.
🇰🇷 Over $4 billion a year for 28,500 troops in South Korea.
🇩🇪 Billions more for 35,000 in Germany.
🇮🇱 Israel hosts no American garrison. It receives $3.8 billion a year, spends nearly all of it on American-made weapons.
🇺🇸 Now Israel is asking Washington to wind that aid down to zero.
Name another ally that ever offered.
Americans cheer for America. Swedes cheer for Sweden. Muslims cheer for Muslims.
Why?
Because Islam is a state. Muslims are the citizens of that state, and Sharia is the constitution of that state.
If you think a state is only a territorial entity, then you will dismiss the Islamic invasion of the West as merely the immigration of different groups that happen to share a religion, rather than recognizing it as the movement of citizens of a single transnational state who practice that state’s official religion.
Mamdani's new "map of immigrants" somehow found room to recognize the fake nation of "Palestine," yet omitted the three immigrant communities that were pivotal in transforming New York City into the modern metropolis it is today.
The Irish dug the tunnels and raised the skyscrapers.
Italians built the bridges, public works, and neighborhoods that define the city.
Jews transformed the garment industry, strengthened the labor movement, and left an indelible mark on New York's culinary and theatrical landscape.
You can't rewrite the history of the city they helped build, @NYCMayor... even if erasing history is in your blood.
Zohran Mamdani wants to ERASE Italian Americans.
First, he denied our permit for Unity Day 2026.
Now, he is excluding Little Italy as a recognized location all together on the map.
Italian Americans BUILT NEW YORK CITY. Not third world Ugandans,
We stand AGAINST COMMUNISTS!
