Researchers tracked an Islamist influence network known as “Isnad” on X, described as a volunteer-based group identified with the Muslim Brotherhood and led by an Egyptian opposition activist operating from Turkey.
150 Hebrew-writing personas on X were also identified, tied to Iran through location data or use of the Iranian version of the app.

Years of planning. Thousands of devices. One operation hidden in plain sight.
Paging Hezbollah - in theaters October 30.

And here, way back in October 2025:
“The fact that Reddit has not taken similar hard-line positions with respect to r/Israel and r/Jewish communities as it has with others… shows its double standard and far-reaching consequence for Jewish communities, embedding hate into algorithms that shape the world’s most powerful AI systems.”

Wow.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a cheap blood test that could detect lung cancer before it spreads.
Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in America each year.
This has the potential to save a lot of lives.

I had a conversation with journalist James Spiro on his show, The Spiro Circle, about America 250 and the importance of celebration and observation without political bias.
Check it out:
As America marked its 250th anniversary, the coverage was split down predictable lines:
@MannyMarotta, curator of @250YearsAgoLive, unpacked why there's no more media monoculture, how Trump's branding complicated a nonpartisan commemoration, and the importance of building an academically sourced, apolitical account of America's founding

Same logo, new name.
📢 JNS has changed its name from “Jewish News Syndicate” to “Jerusalem News Syndicate” to reflect our growing scope and audience. What began in 2011 as a modest online newspaper covering the Jewish world has grown into one of the leading news agencies serving Jewish and non-Jewish audiences alike with breaking news coverage, in-depth analysis, features, multimedia and podcasts focusing on the stories most impacting Israel and world Jewry.
Headquartered in Jerusalem and supported by a US bureau, JNS now follows the tradition of many mainstream publications: a name on the masthead that reflects the city of its base. For JNS, that city is the Jewish State’s eternal capital, Jerusalem.

Not one person in the Labour government was deemed suitable to replace Starmer, who became the least popular PM on record, until a fresh by-election brought in new blood.
It is a completely toxic and ungovernable party.

🇮🇱 Tel Aviv has been ranked the world's #4 startup ecosystem by Startup Genome, behind only Silicon Valley, New York, and London.
With an ecosystem value of $250.3 billion and 162% growth since 2021, Tel Aviv continues to punch far above its weight as a global innovation powerhouse.
Another reminder that Israeli innovation is shaping the future. 🚀

Israel’s high-tech sector generated $85B in exports and $84B in exits last year, helping drive nearly half of the country’s economic growth. But behind the record numbers, warning signs are emerging: fewer engineers, more executives abroad and growing pressure on local R&D.

I am deeply concerned about the terrorist attack that took place today.
This is not an isolated incident. It is the latest in a spate of utterly vile attacks on the Jewish community.
I’ve just chaired an emergency COBR meeting and tomorrow I’ll be bringing together criminal justice agencies to ensure we have effective and swift justice.
