That disaster resulted from the refusal of Arabs to accept the UN partition plan that made Israel a Jewish state, and five Arab countries attempted to eradicate Israel instead. The Israelis prevailed in that war, triggering massive displacement as Israel expelled Arabs from their country in response to the invasion. In the years since, as Arabs plotted wars against Israel, the Israelis have prevailed and punished their enemies, who insist that the lands of Israel belong to the colonists instead of the Israelis.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 18:40:09 -0400<![CDATA[Ed Morrissey]]><![CDATA[Gaza]]><![CDATA[Hamas]]><![CDATA[Israel]]><![CDATA[Palestinians]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]>https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/10/07/october-7-the-real-nakba-for-palestinians-by-palestinians-n3819720<![CDATA[I missed this on Monday but the NY Times published a lengthy story about the Prairieland case, which offers a somewhat friendly defense of the activists who were convicted earlier this year.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 18:00:45 -0400<![CDATA[John Sexton]]><![CDATA[Antifa]]><![CDATA[Domestic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Texas]]>https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/10/07/the-ny-times-offers-a-defense-of-the-prairieland-antifa-gang-n3819732<![CDATA[In another persuasive example of how diversity increases our strength, the FBI conducted what appears to have been a sting operation that netted a Minnesotan Somali man who was planning a terrorist attack at the Mall of America later this month.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 16:40:16 -0400<![CDATA[David Strom]]><![CDATA[Domestic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[FBI]]><![CDATA[Islamic Terrorism]]><![CDATA[Minnesota]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]>https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/10/07/fbi-arrests-somali-terrorist-plotting-attack-on-mall-of-america-n3819726<![CDATA[Can Angela Paxton swing the election in Texas?

Only one person was injured and that was teacher Abigail Zwerner. The really shocking part of the story was who carried out the shooting.

We knew that the 25th anniversary of 9/11 would be awkward when New York City voters elected Islamist sympathizer Zohran Mamdani as mayor.

Another 1,200-plus died in the attack, which came in violation of a cease-fire brokered by the US and accepted by Israel under pressure. Hamas' war started with the worst single-day loss of Jewish life since World War II, and they have been playing the victim ever since – with the support of moral idiots in the West, and boosted by propagandists at CAIR and ISNA, not to mention Academia.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 09:20:00 -0400<![CDATA[Ed Morrissey]]><![CDATA[Hamas]]><![CDATA[Israel]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]><![CDATA[United Arab Emirates]]>https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/10/07/todays-deep-oct-7-question-why-does-united-have-a-cair-vp-flying-routes-n3819714<![CDATA[I've been trying to streamline and clarify my thinking about the class divide in Western politics and how it is one of the great driving forces in contemporary life.&nbsp;]]>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 08:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[David Strom]]><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Pete Buttigieg]]><![CDATA[Ron DeSantis]]>https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/10/07/the-political-divide-that-matters-almost-as-much-as-ideology-n3819692
