Month: November 2026

It seems morbidly appropriate that America’s midterm elections come right after Halloween.  What the Democrat Party offers voters this year is the culmination of many decades of cultural rot, psychopathy, and anti-Americanism.  

It feels as if we’re in the middle of a scary movie, doesn’t it?  Are we hanging from the edge of a cliff?  Yes.  Are there evil monsters chasing us down?  Yes.  Does it seem as if every choice we make could be our last?  Yes.

What the Democrat Party has become is truly horrific.  Like Frankenstein’s monster, its political body is comprised of dead parts: Islamic supremacy, racial grievance, class warfare, cultural Marxism, cultish communism, child sacrifice, child mutilation, sexual deviance, and pagan gods.  Everything the Democrats celebrate today is disgusting, gruesome, and deserving of an R-rating.

A lot of Americans have drifted from the Democrat to the Republican Party over the last few decades.  

It is apt that the two Republican presidents of the last century that Republican voters rate most highly — President Reagan and President Trump — both spent parts of their lives as members of the Democrat Party.  

There was a time when Republicans and Democrats were not so different.  President Kennedy’s low-tax, pro-manufacturing policies were very similar to Trump’s economic growth agenda today.  Kennedy Democrats included anti-communist military veterans who would feel right at home in this century’s Republican Party.  

Blue-collar workers who once identified as Democrats have realized that President Trump’s MAGA-fied Republican Party is the only party interested in supercharging the number of industrial and manufacturing jobs in the United States.  

Democrats (including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and communist darling Bernie Sanders) once campaigned for secure national borders and against illegal immigration — the very things that they demonize today.  

What does it say about the Democrat Party that it has abandoned almost every salient belief that it once held dear?  

Democrats used to defend free speech, no matter how offensive the language.  Now they censor dissenting points of view and justify the use of violence to stop “hate speech.”

Democrats used to believe that a person’s character is more important than the color of that person’s skin.  Now they obsess over skin color and treat white people as second-class citizens.  

Democrats used to champion equality of opportunity for women.  Now they punish high school girls who object to being forced to change in the same locker rooms as confused boys and ridicule girls who refuse to compete against boys in girls’ sports.  

The Democrat Party used to include a huge number of hunters, military veterans, and other Americans who accepted the responsibility of self-defense.  Now Democrats vilify gun owners as if they were domestic terrorists while protecting violent criminals who use weapons against innocent Americans.  

The Democrat Party used to include a huge number of practicing Catholics, devout Protestants, and observant Jews.  It included thoughtful scholars such as Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, whose report on black poverty recognized marriage as the lynchpin to social mobility.  It included cultural groups, civic organizations, and clubs that promoted strong, healthy families.  

Now Democrats dismiss marriage and the nuclear family as vestiges of “patriarchy” and “white supremacy.”  They use their power over legal associations and medical boards to promote the castration and mutilation of children.  Many Democrats promote promiscuity and sexual fetishization as “healthy” lifestyles and not-so-subtly endorse incest, bestiality, and pedophilia.  

At what point does it not become obvious that the Democrat Party has become the “safe space” for grotesque evils?

When an illegal alien rapes and/or murders an American girl, Democrats in public office and Democrats working as “journalists” show more compassion for the rapist/murderer than they do for the broken victim.  

This is monstrous, abhorrent, anti-American behavior that I would not have thought possible thirty years ago.  Most of us remember a time when Americans took care of and protected other Americans.  We beat back those who threatened our peace, and we hunted monsters that hurt American children.  Now Democrats describe the monsters among us as victims and ignore the dead American girls and their suffering American families altogether.  What a ghoulish, soulless party the Democrats have become.

Last week, an illegal alien from Mexico used a sledgehammer to damage an Iwo Jima monument in Quantico, Virginia, and during his act of desecration, the foreigner beheaded one of the statues depicting American marines’ utmost sacrifice in the Pacific Theater during the Second World War.  

The Battle of Iwo Jima was one of the bloodiest conflicts in American history, and three of the men depicted in that monument never came home.  Decapitating a hero’s likeness is an act of hatred against America and disrespect for all American veterans.  

Nevertheless, Democrat politicians and Democrat “journalists” ignored the story as much as possible, and when forced to acknowledge it, Democrats blamed the incident on a generic “Virginia man,” as if the crime were a minor act of vandalism of no significance.  

This is how little respect Democrats have for American heroes, American history, and American sacrifice.  Democrats in office and Democrats in newsrooms write glowing propaganda in defense of foreign nationals who have no business being in the United States, but they completely disregard the vile acts of destruction that monsters perpetrate against American citizens and their cherished symbols.  

We also know that if Democrats regain Congress and the presidency, the worst is yet to come.  

President Obama and President Biden are responsible for over two-thirds of the district court judges currently on the bench.  This is why some federal judge is always inventing laws or parts of the Constitution that do not exist or usurping Article II powers that belong to President Trump.  The only impediment to the Democrats’ complete takeover of the Judiciary is the Supreme Court — or, more accurately, the stalwart defense of the Constitution coming from the jurisprudence of Justice Thomas and Justice Alito.

Democrats have made no secret of their plans to get rid of the Senate filibuster should they achieve a simple governing majority.  With fifty Democrat senators and a Democrat in the White House in January 2029, they will unleash a barrage of legislation and finish the “fundamental transformation” of the United States government that began in earnest during Obama’s presidency.  

Democrats will recognize the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as new states, adding four more Democrat senators to the upper chamber.  

Democrats will once again open America’s borders to foreign invasion and grant mass amnesty and citizenship to any foreigner in the world.  By doing so, Democrats will greatly expand the number of Democrat voters and obtain an insurmountable supermajority in the House of Representatives.  

As they have repeatedly promised, Democrats will add at least six new justices to the Supreme Court, ensuring complete ideological control over the federal judiciary.  

In three quick moves, the Democrat Party will successfully erect a one-party political system with permanent power over the federal government — indistinguishable from the monopoly power that the Chinese Communist Party has enjoyed since 1949.

That’s how fast Islamo-communism and the European Union’s brand of totalitarian globalism will take over the United States if Americans don’t fight back.  

We know what happens then.  Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin and her collaborators have promised to lock up Trump supporters.  Democrat Senator Adam Schiff and Democrat Senator Chris Murphy promise to censor political dissent on social media — effectively killing the First Amendment.  The Democrat-controlled IRS, FBI, and DOJ will once again persecute us as “potential domestic terrorists.”  Democrats will kill the Second Amendment and come for our firearms.  Democrats will use taxpayer dollars to fund their Antifa paramilitary and NGO armies and direct them to burn down cities and attack Americans.  Democrats will celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk and incite their followers to murder more of us.

Avoid this horror movie.  Vote Republican on Tuesday.

The family of Henry Nowak, the slain teenager who was killed last year in a knife attack while officers denied that he had been stabbed, say police gaslit them and seemed more interested in protecting the reputation of the force than the truth.

Henry Nowak’s family have gone public with allegations against police and the British government’s police watchdog, stating that Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary officers attempted to manipulate and deceive them after the murder of their son, as the investigating force pushed ahead with a narrative that Henry had been the aggressor during the ultimately fatal incident rather than the victim, with his killer Vikrum Digwa and his family having falsely claimed that Nowak was racially abusive.

Extraordinarily, the Nowak family revealed that the footage of the final moments before 18-year-old Henry’s death, which caused shock around the world, showing officers callously dismissing the teen’s assertion that he could not breathe, was not provided to them until it was shown in court during Digwa’s trial.

Infamously, an officer was heard saying, “I don’t think you have, mate”, as Nowak said he had been stabbed. Officers then proceeded to handcuff the teen as he lay dying on the ground.

The fact the video was withheld from the family until the very last possible moment means that, had the murder not gone to court — should the killer have pleaded guilty, negating the need for a trial, for instance — the truth would likely never have been known.

Making a very clear accusation against the police, Katie Nowak, Henry’s stepmother, told broadcaster ITV: “I fear that we may have been manipulated in our darkest hours. And I fear that some decisions were made to try and protect the police and their reputation rather than help us as a family… In the last year, our world has changed twice. The first time was the night that we were told that Henry had died. And the second time was when we watched that video.”

Britain’s Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), the ‘police watchdog’, initially investigated the police’s response and quickly found officers had responded appropriately and there was no need for further action. Yet after the police bodycam footage of officers telling Henry he hadn’t been stabbed was played in court, it quickly became apparent the IOPC had been too hasty in reaching that conclusion, and a second investigation was launched, while a broader government review of events has also been announced.

Henry’s father, Mark Nowak, said police constantly changed their story when talking to the family and that officers had attempted to “hoodwink” them. He told ITV: “The story was evolving every time we had an interaction… What started off as, ‘When the police arrived, we administered first aid’, moved through a stage where: ‘When the police arrived, they detained everyone’… To: ‘We actually only detained Henry’, to then: ‘We handcuffed Henry’, and then: ‘We placed Henry under arrest’.

“That evolution of what actually happened that night really shocked us, and we felt we were being hoodwinked. We felt we were being not told the truth.”

Officers initially told the family that their son had been the aggressor in the incident that saw him repeatedly stabbed by Vickrum Digwa with a traditional Sikh dagger and asked them to approve a press release that framed Henry as the attacker. The knifeman told officers he had been the victim of a racial assault, which police initially appeared to accept as fact, and his mother was enlisted to hide the murder weapon. Both have now been jailed.

As part of this initial framing of the narrative, police immediately began to interrogate the Nowak family on Henry’s political views after informing them he had been killed. Ironically, police at this time were also lecturing the public on spreading “misinformation” about the murder case online. As previously reported:

Southampton Crown Court heard that the police had uncritically believed the false narrative promulgated by the Digwa family that Nowak had been racially abusive, a claim that was thoroughly debunked… despite having evidence that Vikrum Digwa was apparently a serial liar, the police force had initially sought to cast Nowak as the aggressor in the incident, releasing a statement implying that he had started the fight and assaulted Digwa and his brother. This was later dropped by the force after pushback from the Nowak family, the paper of record reported.

Nevertheless, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary also reportedly sought to publicly intervene to warn the public about supposed “misinformation” about the case during the trial, a rare intervention from a police force… It comes as the political establishment in London is seeking to use the case to push for more censorship powers to combat so-called misinformation.

Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said in the wake of the riots in Southampton following the release of bodycam footage of Nowak’s death that she was “very concerned” about social media amplifying false narratives during times of unrest.

Around fifteen young Catholics are reported to have been violently attacked by several dozen people in Rouen at the entrance to the ‘Saint-Romain’ funfair. This is according to a report published by the journalist Aliénor de Pompignan on Monday, November 2, for Boulevard Voltaire.

During the attack, one of the assailants is reported to have said to one victim in particular: “I’m a Muslim, I’m 16 years old, and I’m going to fuck your mum.”

According to the journalist, several victims had to be taken to hospital. Criminal complaints have been lodged.

The exact circumstances of the incident and a possible religious motive still need to be clarified as part of the investigation. According to the journalist, several victims had to be taken to hospital. Criminal complaints have been lodged.

Pro-immigration advocates simultaneously celebrate and dismiss the significance of the “Great Replacement,” the theory that first-world, white natives are being replaced by third-world, dark immigrants. It is not the first time that those on the Left have held views that seem to contradict each other, but it is becoming apparent to the rest of us that the rules and terminology that they establish for discussing immigration make open and honest debate difficult.

The term, the “Great Replacement,” was originally coined and popularized by French philosopher Renaud Camus, who argued that elites in Western societies viewed their citizens as interchangeable economic units that could be replaced by cheaper migrant labor with little consequence. If the concept of elites dictating economic decisions seems foreign, then think of it in terms of consumer indifference to the ethnicity or nation status of those providing services as diverse as lawn mowing or software coding. In essence, our collective economic decisions impact society’s ethnic transformation if laissez-faire is truly the policy, i.e. free flow of labor and capital amongst countries and regions.

For many, ethnic transformation may not be the overriding concern that it is for others. For them, cultural transformation is the predominant consideration. They aspire to have their children live in a society that shares common values, though not ethnically homogenous. Given that a shared social view is utopian, not possible even with members of common ethnicity, they still have no desire to seek out and import people with vastly different cultural perspectives, who might create future social strife.

Camus’s concept of the Great Replacement paid scant attention to the role that the modern social welfare state plays in encouraging immigration. Even more attractive than employment opportunities is the social largesse that developed nations provide to immigrants. The recent influx of Somali and other third-world refugees into the United States and the internal migration in the 20th century of Southern blacks to Northern cities are prime examples. In both cases, migrants were enticed by both potential employment and welfare benefits.

Europe’s current predicament is also driven by lavish welfare benefits that immigrants receive upon entering the European continent. Politicians who court current liberal sentiment and future migrant votes are easy targets to blame, but it is difficult to absolve the European voters of their responsibility for their fate. It was their desire to see themselves as being generous to the underdeveloped peoples of the world, communicated through their political leaders to the world.

However, concern for humanity’s suffering stops being a pleasant pastime when the multitude show up at one’s doorstep wanting to make themselves at home. Retreat into the protected recesses of one’s back rooms will only buy time. At the current rate of immigration and immigrant reproduction, the natives of Europe will find themselves subjects of this new wave of colonizers within a century. That is how shifting demographics and democratic rule conspire to create the “Great Replacement.”

Violent protests erupted in Switzerland’s Zurich city centre overnight on October 31, prompting police to deploy water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse demonstrators. Several hundred people gathered following social media calls for protests similar to those witnessed in France and other countries. Masked protesters reportedly set fires and launched fireworks, while emergency responders were targeted with bottles and stones. Police also reported damage to shops and public transport stops. The unrest comes as left-wing and student groups call for a nationwide general strike against austerity measures on November 20.

A series of sexual assaults over the course over Halloween weekend highlights the growing insecurity of women in Italy due to mass immigration, with one Italian journalist describing the judicial release of an African migrant who stalked and sexually assaulted a young girl as an example of how civilization is ending in Italy.

In the early hours of Nov. 1, 2026, two sexual assaults occurred within hours of each other in central Rome, both involving foreign men and ending in rapid arrests, according to Italian news source la Repubblica. A 13-year-old girl walking with her mother along Via di San Francesco a Ripa in Trastevere around 2:30 a.m. was suddenly approached and groped in her intimate areas by a 69-year-old Ethiopian man, who then tried to flee. Nearby police from the Trastevere station intervened immediately and arrested him.

Shortly afterward, around 4:00 a.m. in Piazza San Vincenzo Pallotti, a 31-year-old Italian woman walking with friends was approached and sexually molested in the same manner by a 31-year-old Tunisian. Patrols again responded quickly and arrested him, according to the same reports in RomaToday.

That same Halloween weekend in Cagliari, two 20-year-old Algerians, both guests of the extraordinary reception center (CAS) in Monastir, were arrested after following, groping, and assaulting a young woman in Via Roma in the city center, according to La Nuova Sardegna.

During the incident, she screamed, broke free, and fled from the men, which drew the attention of bystanders.

Italian police located the men nearby based on descriptions, and they were identified by the victim and witnesses before being taken into custody on charges of sexual violence.

The victim later told local media she had not simply run, according to Casteddu Online: “I didn’t run away… The Carabinieri were super efficient and fast; in six minutes, with my help, they found two of the three guys.”

The migrant center has previously drawn attention for internal disorders, including a violent clash between Algerian and Afghan residents involving sticks and bars.

While another incident did not happen over Halloween, it only has come to light after publication over the weekend. Italian media outlet Il Giorno reported on a 17-year-old African who had joined his parents in Brianza a couple of years earlier and was attending high school. He is accused of sexual violence and stalking against a 15-year-old girl he encountered on trains and at the Villasanta and Monza stations.

The various incidents escalated from kissing the girl on the cheek and inviting her on dates over social media. However, they then escalated to attempts to kiss her on the mouth, insults, threats, and physical assaulting the girl despite repeated refusals.

The most serious alleged incident occurred in a Monza underpass used by students where he tried to forcibly kiss her, at which time she screamed for help. The 17-year-old African was arrested in May 2025. A psychiatric evaluation declared him semi-infirm of mind and not socially dangerous, leading the juvenile court judge in Milan to suspend the trial. The 17-year-old African remains under house arrest with conditions allowing accompanied school attendance while staying away from the victim.

In response to the case, Italian journalist Frances Totolo, wrote, “Italy, year 2026, the end of our civilization. ‘Unable to stand trial because declared mentally semi-incapacitated and not socially dangerous.’ The 17-year-old African had terrorized a 15-year-old girl for months, sexually harassing her, assaulting her, and threatening her.”

Italia, anno 2026, la fine della nostra civiltà.

These sexual assault cases arrive against a backdrop of long-running Italian debate over the share of sexual offenses attributable to foreign nationals. Totolo, author of the book “Women’s Lives Matter: When Immigration Kills,” has repeatedly cited government figures indicating that foreigners, which make up roughly 9 percent of the resident population, account for a substantially higher share of sexual assaults. Official crime statistics from the Ministry of the Interior (Viminale) for 2025 show that foreigners accounted for 43.4 percent of those reported or arrested for sexual violence, according to reporting by Italian news sources such as La Verità.

Official crime statistics in Italy and several other European countries have long shown overrepresentation of certain non-Western immigrant groups in sexual and violent offenses relative to their population share, a pattern documented in police and justice data even after controlling for age and other factors.

Two British right-wing activists were attacked by a group of Congolese immigrants beside the Eiffel Tower on Sunday, 1 November, while filming a documentary about mass immigration in Paris. The attack, widely captured in footage shared on social media, reportedly began when Montgomery Toms and Will Coleshill rushed to defend their female companion, who was being harassed by the immigrants.

Toms, founder of Freedom Watch GB, said roughly a dozen men confronted them, while Coleshill, who runs Resistance GB, said he was repeatedly struck on the head with metal objects. Filming equipment, including microphones, was allegedly thrown into the Seine, while cameraman Luke William Schmidt was also targeted. Significantly outnumbered, the crew eventually retreated.

Myself & @WillColeshill have just been attacked by third world savage Congolese migrants in Paris. It started because we were documenting the demographic replacement in France. They went to attack our female friend and we stepped in to defend her. This is why we need Remigration 📽️: @LukeWSchmidt

— Montgomery Toms (@MontgomeryToms) November 1, 2026

‘It was about a 12:2 ratio of violent Congolese migrants vs two Englishmen, and more and more were coming,’ Toms wrote on X. ‘All we could do was de-escalate and get out.’ He also praised Coleshill for protecting Schmidt, who said two attackers had approached him after noticing his camera.

Coleshill described being ‘repeatedly beaten over the head with metal weapons’ after intervening to protect the woman. ‘Remigration has never been more necessary,’ he declared, promising to release further footage through Resistance GB.

The activists were in Paris for a weekend of events promoting remigration, organized by former right-wing MEP Jean-Yves Le Gallou’s Polémia and the Objectif Remigration movement. Their international conference, scheduled for 31 October in Le Plessis-Robinson, and a march planned for 1 November in Paris were both prohibited by French authorities.

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez requested the bans, citing ‘public-order concerns’. Le Gallou condemned the decision as an infringement of freedom of expression and launched an emergency legal challenge. Organizers subsequently held a smaller meeting at a Paris brasserie, where participants said police ordered them to leave.

Austrian remigration activist Martin Sellner, who was due to attend and promote his book, was detained at Beauvais airport on 29 October, served with an entry ban and deported to Austria the following day.

The assault sparked outrage among right-wing activists, with British campaigner Tommy Robinson sharing the footage and condemning the treatment of the conference participants. He contrasted Sellner’s deportation and the prohibition of the gathering with the violence against activists who reached Paris, arguing that the events demonstrated the necessity of remigration.

More than 100 police officers have been injured and 54 people arrested after rioting erupted in Frankfurt, Germany’s financial capital and home of the European Central Bank, following a day of youth-led protests across the country.

Roman Poseck, interior minister of the state of Hesse, told a press conference on November 1 that police estimated they had faced between 1,000 and 1,500 violent troublemakers, most of them from a migrant background. He said those detained, aged between 13 and 29, were predominantly German nationals.

One officer was seriously hurt, losing teeth after being struck in the face by a stone, according to the minister. Up to 1,300 officers were deployed at the height of the disturbances, while 17 shops were damaged and five looted.

The violence followed demonstrations on October 31 called by the campaign group Gen Z regelt (Gen Z takes charge) in around 30 German cities over school funding and the cost of living. In Frankfurt, some 8,000 to 9,000 people marched largely peacefully, German news agency dpa reported.

The mood turned as night fell. Police said they were pelted with fireworks, stones, bottles and petrol bombs and dissolved the march at about 6.20pm, after which shop windows were smashed and barricades set alight in the city centre, public broadcaster ZDF reported.

Frankfurt police chief Stefan Müller said officers had been attacked continuously and without restraint by groups large and small. Firefighters and paramedics were also targeted.

Police recorded 87 criminal complaints and carried out 366 identity checks. According to the police, only a small share of the rioters came from Frankfurt itself, with suspects travelling from elsewhere in Hesse and from neighbouring states.

Poseck said border controls had been tightened ahead of the protests amid concerns that extremist groups from abroad could use them to stir up riots. He pledged tough consequences for those responsible.

Gen Z regelt, which presents itself as acting in solidarity with French school protesters, had insisted its demonstrations would be peaceful without exception.

German interior minister Alexander Dobrindt has blamed left-wing groups and troublemakers from a migrant milieu for the riots in Frankfurt and Cologne, according to Der Tagesspiegel. On October 19 he had warned that left-wing extremists and migrant circles were joining forces on the streets against the democratic system.

The scenes echoed those in France, where nearly 2,400 people were arrested on October 17 alone and close to 1,000 police officers and gendarmes injured. The French movement has since drawn in a network of communist organisations and trade unions.

Student and socialist groups in several EU member states have called an International Youth Strike for November 20, which organisers said would include walkouts, blockades and occupations.

The Alliance of Democracies conducts an annual study called the “Democracy Perception Index.” The latest report finds that “Israel is the most unpopular country in the world,” with a favorability rating lower even than that of gulag-era North Korea and Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. It is not only Benjamin Netanyahu, the bête noire of the international intelligentsia and “a pain in the ass,” as Barack Obama once called him. As curator Milana Gitzin-Adiram puts it, “in many places we are simply persona non grata, almost Satan.” Iran’s Little Satan.

A few days ago Luxembourg decided it no longer wanted to be the country responsible for approving Israel Bonds issuances in the European Union. This is the organization that handles the sale of Israeli government bonds to diaspora Jews (a business worth €2.5 billion a year). A low blow, given that Luxembourg had only taken on the role a year earlier, after Ireland had given it up.

Yet in the World Happiness Index the Jewish state ranks ahead of Luxembourg, the tax haven that last saw war on 10 May 1940 during the Nazi invasion (Israel contrasts with other war-ravaged countries that are understandably unhappy, such as Ukraine in 111th place and Lebanon second-to-last in 145th).

Shuki Friedman, head of the Jewish People Policy Institute, tracks sanctions imposed on Israel through a world map that is growing ever more crowded. His database records 110 sanctions currently in force, applied by 54 countries. The only continent that currently imposes no sanctions on Israel is Antarctica. This is the price of military victory, Bibi or not Bibi. The image that has been pushed of Israel in the West is that of an anti-democratic, dark country on the brink of “suicide”.

Reality says the exact opposite.

While over the past twenty years Israel has held nine parliamentary elections, no elections have been held in the Palestinian Arab territories of the ‘West Bank’ and Gaza since 2006 (and no neighbor of Israel holds free and democratic elections). Among two hundred countries in the world, Israel ranks among the twenty longest-lived continuous electoral democracies.

After gaining independence in 1948, Israel has maintained its parliamentary democracy for 78 years. Israelis like to vote (78 percent turnout, compared with 63 percent in Italy). Since 1996, elections have been held in Israel every two or three years (six elections since 2019), a shorter interval than that found in twenty other democracies examined: higher frequency than Spain (3), Japan (3), Canada (3.2), the United Kingdom (3.8) and Italy (4.4), among others. A young country with a strong democratic tradition.

And Israel has once again demonstrated that it is the worst apartheid regime in the history of apartheid: no Arab country in the world allows Arabs to vote freely as happens in Israel, where Arab parties have doubled their seats (and with their success effectively prevented the creation of an automatic political majority).

In the famous Democracy Index, published annually by The Economist, Israel ranks thirtieth: four places ahead of the United States and seven ahead of Italy.

In “The Genius of Israel: The Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World,” the new book by Dan Senor and Saul Singer, authors of “Start-Up Nation,” Israel is “Morningburg,” while Europe is “Twilight City.”

According to the Pew Research Center, Israel and Singapore are the only rich countries in which more people are optimistic about the financial future of their children than their parents. Across nineteen countries, the average who answer “worse” is seventy percent; in Israel only 27 percent (the least pessimistic). During the pandemic (2019-2022), pessimists decreased in Israel, while elsewhere they rose to record levels. The country is both younger and longer-lived, more quarrelsome and more cohesive, more exposed to death and more resistant to despair. Israel is the anthropological anomaly that challenges the maps of hatred and the geographies of well-being.

Take the so-called “deaths of despair” (suicides, drugs, alcohol): Israel has the lowest rate among OECD nations. Sweden, Denmark and Norway have rates two to three times higher. Israeli men have the fourth-highest life expectancy in the world, women the eighth. Adolescent suicides, although each is mourned deeply, effectively do not exist in the country: among the lowest in the world, less than a third of the OECD average and less than a quarter of the United States, Australia, Finland and Canada.

Despite isolation and war, Israel remains firmly in eighth place in the World Happiness ranking (it was even fourth before the mourning after October 7). Israel is the anomaly among the happiest nations. Geographically, the countries ranked from first to ninth are all located in a tight circle centered on Copenhagen: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Peaceful, quiet, politically stable countries with generous welfare systems, where the food is bad and the weather is terrible.

Then there is Israel, far away in the Middle East, a region not exactly known for tranquility. Noisy and quarrelsome Israelis rate their lives as more satisfying than Swedes, Swiss, Americans, Australians, Canadians, Italians and Singaporeans. Israel ranks first in the world for the number of living kidney donations (including altruistic ones) per capita, a result largely due to the Matnat Chaim organization in Jerusalem.

Compared with a West that looks backward with nostalgia and forward with pessimism, the Bank of Israel forecasts say the Jewish state’s economy will grow by 5.6 percent in 2026 and by 7.5 percent in 2027. The country will be called upon to make difficult and strategic choices, from accelerating military self-sufficiency from the United States to an industrialization that abandons European partnerships for anti-Chinese Asian alliances and anti-Iranian Arab ones (since October 7, Israeli tech companies have lost 8,500 employees due to emigration).

Meanwhile, Israel is third in the world in the startup ranking (Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2026), is the country with the highest score worldwide for “quality of social relations” (the country is united, a crucial factor for overall well-being), ranks tenth for the number of Nobel Prizes won (in per capita terms it surpasses the United States, Germany, France, Canada and Japan), fourth in the world for scientific publications, sixth in the World Index of Healthcare Innovation (Israel conceived itself as a nation that could, as Arieh Herzog, former head of Israel’s missile defense agency, said, “innovate or disappear”), fifth for the number of patents per capita (after Japan, Sweden, Switzerland and South Korea, all countries not at war) and –

Nowhere else among developed countries are so many children born as in the Jewish state (and by 2050 it is projected that Israel will be twenty years younger than Italy, Spain and Germany).

Despite the Second Intifada, the wars in Gaza and October 7, the net migration balance is 480,094 people who have arrived in Israel from all over the world from 2000 to today.

Meanwhile the Israeli region on the border with Gaza, known as “Tekuma” (rebirth), has grown by ten percent compared with the situation prior to the October 7, 2023 attack. What other people with Western customs would return en masse to live where just three years ago more than twelve hundred of their fellow citizens were murdered in medieval scenes?

The Little Satan laughs happily, because it has learned not to confuse unpopularity with defeat and has taught the world that one can live very well even at the foot of a volcano.

Better watch what realities you’re aware of.

London Emir Sadiq Khan began November on the promising note of announcing ‘Islamophobia Awareness Month’ to “shine a light on the abhorrent hatred and discrimination Muslims continue to face.”

Especially those who run London.

‘Islamophobia Awareness Month’ is very important. And the best way to spread awareness of the fact that Afghans are seven times more likely than the indigenous population to be convicted of sex crimes.

Afghans are seven times more likely to be convicted of sex crimes than Britons, analysis suggests.

The research showed that people who described themselves as Afghans accounted for 409 sex offences – or 0.39 per cent of the total – during a 15-year period.

After population numbers had been taken into account, and the statistics standardised for age and sex, the rate of sex crimes committed by Afghans was seven times that of people who described themselves as British, the analysis showed.

There’s been a recent worrying outbreak of Islamophobia at Linton-On-Ouse

Plans to open a camp for asylum seekers on a former RAF base at Lin­ton-on-Ouse are a “recipe for dis­aster”, and have echoes of the child groom­ing scan­dal, a Shadow Min­is­ter has told The York­shire Post.

The Gov­ern­ment plans to house more than 1,000 lone male asylum seekers on the North York­shire site, as well as use two other MoD sites in Oxford­shire and Suf­folk.

The Shadow Women’s and Equal­it­ies Min­is­ter Joy Mor­ris­sey told The York­shire Post she had received count­less let­ters from con­cerned women liv­ing nearby the three pro­posed camps.

She said: “I don’t want a situ­ation where women and girls have raised these con­cerns, and we [col­lect­ively] do what happened with the groom­ing gangs, which is we just said ‘we don’t want to hear it, you’re being racist’ and we just ignored it and ignored it.”

The Shadow Min­is­ter claimed: “These men are primar­ily com­ing from places where women, in Afgh­anistan, Sudan, Erit­rea, places where sexual viol­ence against women is used in both con­flict and in every­day life.

“And in places like Afgh­anistan, women are treated worse than anim­als now. You can beat your wife, she can’t go to the park, your dog has more rights than a woman does in Afgh­anistan now.”

Luckily, the Burnham Labor regime is working hard to equalize the status of women in Afghanistan and the United Kingdom. Anyone expressing concern about this better remember that this is ‘Islamophobia Awareness Month’ and the coppers watch what you’re typing.

Better watch what realities you’re aware of.
