For 1000 years they persecuted Ashkenazi Jews as Christ-killers. And suddenly it’s convenient to say, “Actually, you were never even there”? Could these Jew-haters get their goddamn story straight? Also, is Joe Rogan actually this dumb? I mean, seriously, what’s the theory? A majority of the world’s Ashkenazi Jews live in the US. Is Israel just hoping they’ll keep their 23andme results secret?

New: Joe Rogan reveals to comedian Sam Tallent that the real reason Israel restricts DNA ancestry testing is because most of the people over there aren’t Semites and are actually just European Jews: ROGAN: “The real Semites are the Palestinians. Benjamin Netanyahu’s family is from Poland.” CONTEXT: Israel does have restrictions on DNA testing. According to Israel's Ministry of Health, paternity and family-relationship DNA tests generally require a COURT ORDER, even when everyone involved consents. And there's an especially surprising detail. MyHeritage, an ancestry-testing company HEADQUARTERED IN ISRAEL that offers DNA kits internationally, explicitly lists ISRAEL among the countries where its consumer ancestry tests are unavailable. But that does NOT establish Rogan's allegation about WHY these restrictions exist. Israel's genetic-information laws address matters including consent, family relationships, privacy, and potential consequences for children. There is no substantiated evidence that the restrictions were created to conceal the ethnic origins of Israel's Jewish population. And when Rogan brings up Netanyahu's Polish family roots, he's referencing something with a documented historical basis. Netanyahu's father, Benzion Netanyahu, was born in WARSAW in 1910, before his family immigrated to what was then British Mandatory Palestine. But European family history doesn't automatically mean someone has no ancient Middle Eastern ancestry. In fact, scientific research reveals a much more complicated story. IMPORTANT NOTES: A major genetic study published in NATURE in 2010 found evidence connecting many Jewish diaspora communities to shared ancestral origins in the LEVANT. And a 2020 study published in CELL examined ancient DNA from Bronze Age populations in the region. Researchers found substantial genetic continuity between ancient Levantine populations and multiple populations living in the region today, including Jewish and Arab communities. In other words, the evidence points to a history of shared regional ancestry, migrations, and intermixing. It’s not a simple genetic division between two populations. Then Rogan takes the discussion even further. He questions whether the term ANTISEMITISM should instead be called “anti-Jewish,” arguing that Palestinians have a stronger claim to being called Semites. But there's another important historical distinction. “Semitic” originally refers to a LANGUAGE FAMILY that includes Hebrew and Arabic, not a scientifically defined genetic race. And the word “antisemitism,” despite its linguistic roots, has historically referred specifically to hostility or prejudice toward JEWISH PEOPLE.

הליכוד: הבחירות במדינת ישראל נגנבו על ידי מפלגות ערביות שתומכות בטרור ובחיסול המדינה היהודית באמצעות עבירות פליליות חמורות של שוחד, איומים, אלימות, זיופים ושימוש בתוכנות אסורות להמרצת מצביעים. מפלגת הליכוד מעבירה למשטרה, לשב״כ ולוועדת הבחירות מאות עדויות וראיות על גניבת בחירות בקלפיות ערביות רבות- אלפי מעטפות עם כסף מזומן ופתקי רע״ם, איומים ואלימות כלפי חברי הקלפי, ריבוי מצביעים מאחורי הפרגוד, הצבעות בזהות כפולה, פערים בין מספר המעטפות למספר המצביעים, שימוש בתוכנות המרצה אסורות ועוד. אנו דורשים מהמשטרה ומהשב״כ חקירה יסודית בגין גניבת הבחירות על ידי המפלגות הערביות ומיצוי הדין עם העבריינים. אנו דורשים מוועדת הבחירות התייחסות מיידית לחקירת העבירות הפליליות הללו שפגעו באופן קיצוני בטוהר הבחירות בישראל ובתוצאות הבחירות. זו פגיעה חמורה בדמוקרטיה הישראלית ובזכות הבחירה של אזרחי ישראל. גופי האכיפה מוכרחים לפעול ביד קשה ובאופן מיידי.

Why would Israel want its ally Morocco to control Ceuta as opposed to its critic Spain? One reason may be that Ceuta is the closest point in Africa to Europe, sitting astride the Strait of Gibraltar, meaning that Spain currently controls both sides of the strait. The Strait of Gibraltar is only 8 miles across, as opposed to the Strait of Hormuz, which is 21 miles. If Iran can control the Strait of Hormuz, Spain could easily control the Strait of Gibraltar and potentially block Israeli access to the Atlantic. nytimes.com/2026/07/30/world…

The British Medical Association just voted to stop following the IHRA definition of antisemitism. The decision is supposedly about free speech, even though the IHRA definition DOES NOT prohibit criticizing Israel. All it does is point out that criticism of Israel can be antisemitic. In fact, most antisemitism today disguises itself as anti-Israel rhetoric, while still spreading old antisemitic ideas. Without clarifying this feature of antisemitism today, an antisemitism definition is virtually irrelevant. At a time when Jewish doctors are leaving the UK because of widespread antisemitism, the NHS needs to be raising standards, not throwing them out the window.

Jews in the diaspora who want to celebrate their heritage without tying themselves to Israel might look to the Bundist concept of “hereness”, which a new book by Molly Crabapple celebrates economist.com/culture/2026/0…

It is not a great surprise but it it's not about anti-Zionism at all. Satmar anti-Zionism is nominal and theological and not of the same kind of Mamdani's leftist anti-Zionism. Many other anti-Zionist Hasids sects won't back Mamdani. I don't think Israel is the main reason for their decision-making in either case
