Dubious leaks about the Jewish state spying on America signify an effort to break
up a valued alliance by those whose motives are rooted in antisemitic conspiracies.

(Jun. 8, 2026 / JNS) In recent months, the world has witnessed some of the closest cooperation between the governments and armed forces of the United States and one of its allies. The war launched on Feb. 28 by the United States and Israel against Iran required intense coordination in the areas of intelligence and precision attacks. What followed was an exhibition of high-tech warfare that bespoke both the common purpose of the two nations and the trust that has been built over the years between their militaries. And it resulted in the destruction of much of the Islamist regime’s military forces, the decimation of its nuclear and missile programs, and the targeting of Tehran’s leadership.

There seems to be no limit to how extreme the politicians in New York City can get. When “The Squad” entered Congress starting in 2018, it seemed like a new left-wing edge had been identified. Now, a mere eight years later, that is the new ideological center of the Democratic Party. The latest exhibit in this ideological arms race is the Democratic primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, where five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat faces a spirited challenge from Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

On Tuesday, May 26, more than 300 New Yorkers stood across the street from Gracie Mansion to protest the anti-Semitic policies and rhetoric of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Those who attended felt empowered to stand alongside neighbors from all walks of life in a nonviolent display of dissent. As they dispersed to their homes, the question was whether it was a one-off event or the beginning of momentum against socialists in elected office. The answer will emerge on Tuesday, June 23, when Democratic voters will choose the direction of their party.
