A Price To Pay For Supporting Jews: Pro-Israel Christians Are Now In The Crosshairs Of Europe’s Rising Antisemitism
On Friday evening, a manhunt was launched in the Netherlands to track down suspects responsible for a bombing attack targeting Christians supportive of the Jewish State.
The explosive was planted at the front doors of a building belonging to a Dutch Christian organization (Christenen voor Israel), which seeks to stand “in solidarity with Israel and combat all forms of antisemitism.”
The group frequently features Pro-Israel lectures and sells Israeli-made products, helping to support the Jewish community, combat false information against the Jewish State, and counteract anti-Israel boycotts.
While the attack sparked outrage among officials in the nation, the most pointed comments came from the Israeli Ambassador to the Netherlands, Zvi Vapni, who warned that the bombing was “not an isolated incident.”
“First, Jews were intimidated and attacked in the Netherlands. Now Christians who support Israel are being targeted too,” he emphasized, urging police to swiftly track down the person(s) accountable.
The rise of antisemitism in the Netherlands was on full display, especially among the muslim population, in November of 2024, when Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam became the victims of a horrific pogrom.
Jews were chased and brutally attacked in the streets by mobs, while others hid in nearby shops, awaiting the emergency planes en route from Israel to evacuate them.
In the eyes of many, it was a turning point in Europe’s increasingly antisemitic landscape—closely and disturbingly echoing the Jewish experience in the early 20th century. As the Israeli ambassador detailed, the bombing of a Pro-Israel Christian organization is another bone-chilling step for the nation and continent.
Antisemitism expert, Olivier Melnick, refers to it as “Collateral Antisemitism,” highlighting, “you no longer need to be Jewish to be a target of Jew-hatred.”
Melnick recounted another disturbing recent incident in Europe, in which Pro-Palestinian activists in England went door-to-door recording the names of those who refused to support a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel.
“This is not activism; this is intimidation,” Melnick stressed. “We are again seeing the 1930s and 40s being reenacted in front of our eyes. Supporters of the Jews and Israel are taking a stand and understanding the risk in doing so.”
Trusted ministry leaders such as Pastor Gary Hamrick of Cornerstone Chapel are urging Christians to choose boldness over silence, taking a Biblical stand to defend and support Israel and the Jewish people—no matter the risk and opposition.
“The Israeli people have been the target of hate, oppression, murder, and genocide throughout history,” Hamrick underscored. “Hitler’s attempted annihilation of the Jews during World War II took an estimated 6 million Jewish lives. Satan has been inciting nations and people to hate Israel ever since the tiny Jewish nation became the conduit for God’s redemptive plan for mankind.”
“Make no mistake—this is a spiritual battle,” he wrote. “Satan incites antisemitism, and antisemitism is satanic. And no one bears more responsibility in the fight against antisemitism than the church.”
Melnick further shared a similar conclusion, stating: “Collateral antisemitism is a real thing. It might be the price to pay for those who stand with Israel, but knowing that standing with Israel means we stand with God, why should Christians have it any other way?”
Supreme Court paves way for dismissal of Steve Bannon contempt of Congress case
The Supreme Court on Monday sent longtime President Trump ally Steve Bannon’s contempt of Congress case back to a lower court where a judge is expected to dismiss it.
The justices declined to hear arguments in Bannon’s appeal of his 2022 conviction for evading a subpoena from the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, instead granting his petition only to vacate a lower court’s holding and kick the case back to the trial judge.
The Justice Department in February moved to dismiss the two-count indictment prosecutors filed against Bannon nearly five years ago, meaning the case will likely be dismissed upon its return to the lower court, erasing the conviction.
“The government has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the justices last month.
A federal jury in Washington, D.C. found Bannon guilty of both charges after he failed to appear for a deposition ordered by the Jan. 6 committee and refused to turn over subpoenaed documents.
Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison but U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, the trial judge, allowed him to delay it for about two years as he appealed. The time was served in 2024.
Bannon had pointed to his attorney’s advice to delay compliance with the Jan. 6 committee until executive privilege disputes were resolved during his appeal.
“The government acknowledges that Petitioner’s criminal prosecution was unjust,” Bannon’s attorney, Michael Buschbacher, told the high court.
Bannon was the second Trump adviser to serve prison time for evading the committee’s request.
Peter Navarro, a White House trade advisor, also served a four-month sentence after being convicted on the same two counts. Navarro’s appeal is ongoing, even as the Justice Department has dropped its defense of it.
Terrible news for Democrats hoping to regain control of the Senate, CNN analyst says
Enten showed Monday that although Democrats are still slightly favored in the generic congressional ballot, it is not enough to retake the Senate from Republican control.
While polling shows Democrats with a five-point net favorability rating for the 2026 election, that is well below their net rating in the 2018 midterms, which was eight points, and 2006 midterms, which was 11 points.
Those were the last two midterms with a Republican president for comparison.
“Democrats are, just simply put, running behind their previous benchmark, and they need to be running well ahead of them if they want to take back the United States Senate, given that map,” Enten said.
He added that although President Donald Trump’s favorability rating has taken a beating recently, Democrats appear to be unable to take advantage of it enough to take both chambers of Congress.
“Democrats are ahead, but they’re only ahead by five with a president whose net approval rating is bordering on minus 20 to minus 30, depending on what polls you look at,” Enten said. “You’d make the argument Democrats should be way ahead, and they’re just only sort of slightly ahead.”

Iran executes people, including teens, by hanging
The Islamic Republic of Iran took the lives of two men convicted of trying to storm a military facility and access an armory in January, the Mizan news outlet of Iran’s judiciary indicated on Sunday, according to Reuters.
An organization called Iran Human Rights said that the Iranian news agency reported that the two individuals, Mohammad Amin Biglari and Shahin Vahedparast Kolor, were hanged on April 5.
Biglari, a 19-year-old computer science student, Kolor, 30, were arrested with several other individuals on January 8 amid a crackdown against protesters in the nation’s capital city of Tehran, according to the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights.
They faced charges that included “‘enmity against God (moharebeh), corruption on earth, arson of public facilities, and assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security,'” the group indicated.
Another individual arrested January 8, 18-year-old Amirhossein Hatami, was hanged on April 2, Iran Human Rights noted, citing the Mizan News Agency.
Ali Fahim, a 23-year-old who was among those arrested on January 8, was executed on April 6, the Hengaw Organization noted on Monday, explaining that the Mizan news agency confirmed the killing.
“These executions are part of the Islamic Republic’s strategy of survival, waging war against its own people under the shadow of external conflict,” Iran Human Rights Director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam noted. “The international community must respond with urgency. The situation of prisoners and the regime’s systematic use of the death penalty as a political tool of repression must be made a central condition in any negotiations or engagement with the Islamic Republic.”
The executions occurred as the U.S. and Israel continue to wage war against Iran.

James Woods: Britain Disarmed Its People, Now It’s ‘Standing on the Edge of the Islamist Abyss’
Woods wrote, “Our friends, the Brits, went from relinquishing their right to bear arms in 1997 to standing on the edge of the Islamist abyss today.”
On September 24, 2024, Breitbart News observed that gun control in Britain was instituted in stages, beginning just after World War I and continuing in a reactionary fashion with increasing strictness through the 1990s.
The final phase of the controls was implemented via the Firearm Act of 1997, which was adopted after a man attacked an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, using legally-owned guns.
The Firearm Act of 1997 virtually ended handgun ownership and made the acquisition of a certificate to possess a long gun an onerous and time-consuming one.
One immediate result was skyrocketing violent crime. By 2009, twelve years after the Firearms Act of 1997 was passed, Daily Mail Online reported that Britain was “the most violent country in Europe.”
They also reported that Britain’s home figures showed “the UK [had] a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and South Africa.”
In addition to violence, Britain’s post-disarmament era has also opened the door to a societal suicide James Woods described as “the Islamist abyss.”
Writing in The Spectator on December 22, 2025, Ed Husain wrote on the Islamist threat to Britain’s future but did so from “abroad” because of the danger he no longer felt safe Britain.
His article began:
I am writing this article from abroad because I do not currently feel safe in Britain, the country of my birth and where I grew up. Why? Because I have written books and articles exposing and warning about the danger of Islamism in the UK.
I am not alone in feeling threatened. Many of our media organizations, universities, charities, government departments and judges live in fear of offending an extremist underworld, which has been strengthened by the disaster of the Israel-Gaza war. The Bondi beach attack is only its latest manifestation.
On September 7, 2024, the Hoover Institution observed, “The cultural carapace of Britishness, which has served as an umbrella term to bind together the four indigenous nations of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as immigrant ethnic groups, is breaking apart under the pressure of economic inequality, mass immigration, and radical Islam.”
James Woods used the latter portion of his Sunday night X post to urged Americans to use the British example to remind ourselves of why our Founding Fathers hedged in the right to keep and bear arms.
Woods wrote, “Our Second Amendment is not about the right to go duck hunting, folks. It’s about keeping power in the hands of The People.”
NASA Astronauts Capture Images of Earth with iPhone During Artemis II Moon Mission
NASA has confirmed that several recently published photographs from the ongoing Artemis II mission were captured using iPhone 17 Pro Max smartphones.
The confirmation came through the space agency’s official Flickr page, where three images showing Earth through the windows of the Orion spacecraft capsule were attributed to the Apple devices.
Each of the four astronauts participating in the mission was equipped with a silver iPhone 17 Pro Max in their suits. The crew also has access to GoPro Hero 11 cameras and Nikon D5 professional cameras during the mission.
While many of the widely circulated photographs from the mission have been taken using the Nikon D5 cameras, the latest batch of images released by NASA were confirmed to have been captured with the iPhones.
According to previous reports, Apple was not formally involved in the approval process that led to iPhones being included on the spacecraft. The devices were selected by NASA as part of the equipment provided to astronauts for documenting the historic mission.
NASA is providing continuous updates on the mission’s progress through its official website, allowing the public to follow along with the historic journey.
The space agency has been regularly publishing photographs and other documentation from the mission as the astronauts conduct their planned activities aboard the spacecraft…..
