Let me introduce you to a fellow named Max Naumann.
In 1934, Naumann, a German Jew, urged fellow Jews to support Adolf Hitler. He defended the Nazi regime even as it persecuted Jews, and actually petitioned Hitler for the right of Jews to fly the German flag.
In 1935, the Gestapo dissolved his organization and threw him in prison, where he attempted suicide. He died of cancer in 1939, before the Holocaust, but not before discovering how little his loyalty to the Nazis was worth.
I'm not comparing Abdul El-Sayed to Hitler. I'm questioning the idea that a Jewish endorsement is, by itself, evidence of what's best for Jewish safety.
From the Hellenizing Jewish elites of ancient Jerusalem to Jewish supporters of Iran's Islamic Revolution, we have examples throughout our history of Jews aligning themselves with political movements that ultimately turned against them.
Their motivations differed, as did the consequences. But there's a lesson in Max Naumann's story that's worth remembering.
Being Jewish has never made anyone immune to being catastrophically wrong about what's good for Jews.

We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too.
We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries.
That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next.
Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells.
Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it.

Rupert Lowe explains what happened to Lebanon when the Muslim population went over 15%
"When Lebanon got its independence in 1948. They were a Christian country and they were a very confident country. They had the best universities. They had a very open society. I never went to Beirut. I don't know if you went to Beirut, but Beirut in the 60s was meant to be the best place on earth to be. Great wine, freedom, very enlightened. It was a great place; lots of people were there.
The minute that the Muslim population went over about 15%, you started to get a problem with a civil war. You got the Druze and Maronite Christians in a civil war with the Muslims. And now Lebanon is a Muslim country, and Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is effectively running the show."

For the love of g-d. Take a lesson from Israel.
You cannot run a modern nation around fear that @Yusuf4Love2002 with 168 followers is going to call you a far-right genocidal fascist if you pick up a gun to save your society. It WILL do just that.
Just ignore it, and fight back.

It’s frightening to look back at what Hitchens warned about 20 years ago, and yet Europe ignored him and carried on. Today we are warning America.

September 24, 2026: Noam Dworman sits down with "the world's leading famine expert" and reads him his old predictions and declarations about famine in Gaza.
Alex de Waal wrote the standard textbook on famine, runs the World Peace Foundation, and helped write starvation crimes into international law. When the media says "famine experts warn," this is who they mean.
In January 2024, he told Owen Jones famine would probably arrive by early February. February came and went. In March 2024, he told CBS it was expected between then and May. Days later, he told Democracy Now that children were dying "likely in thousands already." In April 2024, at Harvard, he called it the most intense famine since records began. In October 2025, Democracy Now brought him back.
Nobody ever asked him about any of prior predictions and declarations. On September 24, 2026, Noam Dworman did.
0:00 Alex de Waal admits to overstating catastrophes to get headlines
0:30 March 25, 2024. De Waal: The Famine Review Committee is "the ultimate arbiter, the High Court"
0:47 September 24, 2026. De Waal admits his own "high court" found no famine
1:11 March 2024: "It's too late to avert" thousands to tens of thousands of deaths
1:22 De Waal recasts it as conditional: "I said, yes, if this trajectory continues"
1:47 Dworman reads him the published wording, which was not conditional. De Waal: "We actually don't know how many have died"
2:14 Dworman to De Waal: You let Feroze Sidhwa tell my audience that 62,000 Gazans died of starvation
3:10 De Waal: We don't know the numbers. Dworman: The Gaza Ministry of Health doesn't claim anything close to your numbers
3:43 Dworman calls out the moving goalposts: "So I never said they were dying." De Waal accuses him of arguing semantics
4:21 Alex de Waal claims that the famine call "made no comment on the mortality"

In 2024, Alex de Waal was certain enough to tell the world it was already too late.
In 2026, Alex de Waal just isn't certain enough to say how many people died.
Alex de Waal once wrote that you need to overstate catastrophes in order to get attention. He was not joking.
October 6, 2025: Alex de Waal tells Democracy Now that famine is "one of the simplest problems in the world to resolve," and that Israel "can solve the starvation crisis...in a matter of days, should it want to do so."
In January 2024, he told Owen Jones the opposite. Even if the fighting stopped that day and Gaza were flooded with aid, the people "mainly children of course" dying of hunger would "continue to rise, will peak, and will decline over a much longer period of time." Unstoppable then. A matter of days now.
Alex de Waal wrote the standard textbook on famine, runs the World Peace Foundation, and helped write starvation crimes into international law. When the media says "famine experts warn," this is who they mean.
In January 2024, he gave Gaza until "probably by early February." On March 19, 2024, he told CBS famine was expected between then and May. On March 25, 2024, he told Democracy Now children were already dying "likely in thousands." In April 2024, he told a Harvard webinar it was already the most intense famine since records began. In June 2024, the IPC's Famine Review Committee—the body he had called "the ultimate arbiter, the High Court"—ruled the claims "not plausible." On October 6, 2025, four days before the ceasefire, Democracy Now had him back.

0:20 "Famine is one of the simplest problems in the world to resolve"
0:32 Every famine of the last 30 years has been "man-made, the result of political or military action"
0:45 Israel "can solve the starvation crisis or at least ameliorate starvation in Gaza in a matter of days, should it want to do so"
0:59 "It is a choice that Israel has, whether to feed the people or whether to starve them"
1:30 The children who survive "will suffer physical and cognitive harm for the rest of their lives"
1:38 There is an obligation "on those who perpetrated the crime"
2:03 Discusses his article in Jewish Currents: "the obligation of the Jewish community as a whole globally" to repair the damage of "this planned starvation"

Gaza's recorded malnutrition death rate in 2025 (74 deaths through late July, per the WHO) works out to roughly the same per-capita rate as the United States, where the CDC counted over 20,000 malnutrition deaths in 2022.

Four days after this interview the ceasefire took effect. A UNICEF-led survey then found 0.5 percent acute child malnutrition in Gaza, one of the lowest rates in the region.

In January 2024, nothing could stop the famine, and the deaths were on Israel.
In October 2025, Israel could stop it in days, and the choice was Israel's.
Four days later the fighting stopped. The survey found 0.5 percent.

What the world demands is that Israelis should have allowed Hamas to run rampage and allowed all these missiles to land without responding. These are missile alerts since October 2023.
They demand that there be no defence to continuous aggression
They demand Israelis die without a fight.
Never.
