The tiny socialist majority was won in Sweden's elections last month through heavy voter mobilization within immigrant communities, which tipped the balance.

The international media has repeatedly presented the deaths of Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip as evidence that Israel is deliberately targeting journalists. Yet the IDF recently released a database identifying 170 Palestinians killed during the war whom it says were also members of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or other terrorist organizations, including their military identification numbers, ranks and unit affiliations. gatestoneinstitute.org/22900…

The French government was reportedly "taken by surprise" when students began rioting roughly two weeks ago. Many Europeans see Islamization gaining ground in their countries and enjoying support from Marxists: each thinks the other will bring it to power. They see their leaders doing nothing to remedy a situation that has become increasingly alarming. gatestoneinstitute.org/22891…

Americans should be clear-eyed: Islamist politicians and influencers in the United States will never place their first loyalty with America. Their worldview is what underlies statements such as the claim that America "deserved" 9/11. Hasan Piker, the influential streamer who has campaigned alongside candidates including Abdul El-Sayed, said "America deserved 9/11." gatestoneinstitute.org/22894…

Scientists at the National Ignition Facility have achieved fusion ignition, producing more energy from a reaction than the lasers delivered to it. The question is no longer whether fusion can work, but who will turn it into a working power plant first. gatestoneinstitute.org/22892…

Chants can be heard in the streets of the Gaza Strip during funeral processions for Hamas commanders and members killed by Israel: "October 7 will return! It is coming back!" gatestoneinstitute.org/22890…

JD Vance may have chosen his recent words as part of a fantasy that if the US just closes its eyes to foreign threats and concentrates on building up America domestically, the rest of the world, for good or ill, will somehow take care of itself. The vice president seems unaware of what Europe, and later America, found out the hard way -- that what happens in Sudetenland does not stay in Sudetenland. gatestoneinstitute.org/22887…

US President Donald Trump's decision to sell state-of-the-art F-35 stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia seriously risks undermining his efforts to secure America's technological advantage over China, both in national security and the battle for global AI supremacy. gatestoneinstitute.org/22888…

A 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memorandum, later entered into evidence by federal prosecutors in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial, described the movement's work in North America as a "civilization-jihadist process" aimed at "destroying Western civilization from within." Nihad Awad, co-founder and national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), previously worked with the Islamic Association for Palestine, one of the groups named in the memorandum. gatestoneinstitute.org/22847…

Islamist-leaning influence is growing in America, in media, activism, local projects, and electoral politics. Consider figures such as Zohran Mamdani, now mayor of New York City; Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Michigan; Imtiaz Mohammad, a Republican candidate for the Florida House; and the influential streamer Hasan Piker, who has campaigned alongside these kinds of candidates. gatestoneinstitute.org/22883…

Behind the familiar Trump theater at the United Nations this month was a serious demonstration of how this administration understands American power: establish leverage, define the limits, then negotiate. gatestoneinstitute.org/22882…

Hamas is a terrorist organization. Abbas and the Palestinian Authority, however, have their own deeply troubling record, including... a longstanding system of payments and benefits for Palestinian terrorists and the families of those killed while carrying out attacks on Israelis, known as "pay-for-slay." gatestoneinstitute.org/22875…

Chinese President Xi Jinping has an opportunity to extend an act of mercy that could pay significant diplomatic dividends: allowing Pastor John Cao, a U.S. lawful permanent resident suffering from late-stage prostate cancer and a spinal tumor, finally to return home. There is recent precedent for this kind of humanitarian gesture. gatestoneinstitute.org/22874…

CIA Director John Ratcliffe long ago described the business model of the Chinese Communist Party as "Rob, Replicate, Replace." They steal the technology and know-how for a product, copy it, then flood it back into the marketplace at a far lower price, thereby putting the product's original manufacturers out of business. In Belgium, flagship Belgian semiconductor company BelGaN was bought by the Chinese regime, robbed of its intellectual property, technology and know-how for the benefit of a "mirror company" in China, and then eliminated in Belgium. gatestoneinstitute.org/22871…

Palestinian journalist and photographer Motaz Azaiza recently revealed details about how journalists operated under Hamas rule.

How extensive are the transnational financial networks connecting Muslim Brotherhood affiliates, front organizations and designated terrorist organizations such as Hamas? Follow the money. Map the networks. Establish the evidence. Expose illicit finance. Cut the financial lifelines. That is where the next phase of the fight should begin. gatestoneinstitute.org/22868…

For over 20 years, the governments of Turkish President (and former Prime Minister) Recep Tayyip Erdogan have functioned as Hamas's principal political protectors. Days after the October 7, 2023 massacre, he told his parliamentary group that Hamas is "a group of mujahideen defending their lands." gatestoneinstitute.org/22837…

What Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald J. Trump have been doing is not just battling terrorist groups; they have been preventing these groups from achieving their main goal: taking over Western civilization. gatestoneinstitute.org/22866…
