Pakistan and Allies have Stopped the Greater Israel Project from Becoming a Reality
The idea of an Israel extending beyond its internationally recognized borders did not originate in October 2023. It has existed for decades within Revisionist Zionist thought, carried forward by settler movements and religious nationalist currents that never abandoned the vision of sovereignty across the entire historic Land of Israel. What October 2023 provided was not […]
SIGAR Confirms It, Washington Is Funding an Emirate That Exports Terrorism Straight Into Pakistan
The paper trail runs from a US inspector general’s report to forty million dollars a week to training camps sheltering the TTP, Al Qaeda, and a growing list of anti-Pakistan militant networks.

The Weaponization of Grievances
“Terrorism does not need the truth. It needs a story convincing enough that no one thinks to check the truth at all.” The Baloch Liberation Army does not just claim an attack.

Afghanistan’s Absorption of Syria’s Displaced Terrorists Signals a Dangerous New Phase in Regional Security
Syria’s post-conflict authorities are dismantling what remained of the country’s foreign terrorist infrastructure, arresting fighters, restricting extremist networks, and closing off what was once among the world’s most permissive operating environments for jihadist groups. On paper, this looks like a counterterrorism success story. In practice, it is redistributing the problem rather than solving it. According […]

The Family Asked for Justice and the Taliban Court Told Them They Would Die for Asking
In Khost’s Dih-e-Mand district, a family did everything a victim is supposed to do. Their two daughters were sexually assaulted by Taliban commanders during a nighttime raid.
