Will the EU Develop a Serious Strategy to Combat Antisemitism?

For about 20 years, the EU has been largely inactive, incompetent, negligent, and at times even evil in the battle against antisemitism.

If nothing changes, in a few decades, France will have submitted to Islam, and Islamic violence will probably be even greater than today.

The Consequences of Fakhrizadeh’s Killing

The killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, longtime mainstay of the Iranian military nuclear program, is a severe blow to that program and another massive intelligence failure by Iranian internal security.
