A startling report has exposed that the U.S. government, through its foreign aid agency, USAID, is still funneling billions of taxpayer dollars to organizations allegedly tied to Hamas and other extremist groups, raising alarm over oversight and national security. USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, is tasked with distributing foreign aid and promoting humanitarian assistance abroad. However, a recent list released by the State Department shows that over

In an audacious legal move, Hamas has petitioned the UK government to lift its designation as a terrorist organization—claiming it’s merely exercising "freedom of speech" on behalf of Palestinian “resistance.” The Islamist group, responsible for the October 7 massacre of 1,200 Israelis and the abduction of hundreds more, filed a 106-page request through the controversial London law firm Riverway Law, arguing the ban violates their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk insisted, “Hamas does not and never has posed a threat to Britain,” and accused the UK of supporting “Zionism, apartheid, occupation, and ethnic cleansing.” The UK banned Hamas’s military wing in 2001 and its political wing in 2021, declaring it “a complex but single terrorist organization.” Critics slammed the move—former Home Secretary Priti Patel called Hamas an “evil Iranian-backed terrorist organization” that “kidnaps, tortures and murders people, including British nationals.” As the UK’s Home Secretary weighs the decision, Hamas’s attempt to rebrand its genocidal ideology as political activism highlights the growing challenge of Islamist lawfare in Western democracies.

In just one week, 200 Christians were slaughtered in Nigeria’s Middle Belt by suspected Fulani militants in what local officials are calling a genocide, yet major international media outlets remain virtually silent. On Palm Sunday, 56 villagers, including 15 children, were butchered in Zike, Plateau State, their bodies left to burn in their homes. “The corpses of deceased women, children, and senior citizens [were left] in their homes, which they torched as they left the village,” reported Truth Nigeria. Just days later, 56 more were massacred in Benue State. Plateau Governor Caleb Mutfwang didn’t mince words: “What happened in the last two weeks in Bokkos is genocide, I say it unreservedly.” The attackers, reportedly Muslim Fulani jihadists, are part of a years-long campaign against Christian farming communities, which groups like Christian Solidarity International warned about as early as 2020. Despite repeated atrocities and growing calls for action, Western leaders and media continue to downplay or ignore what many now describe as a religiously driven extermination campaign.
Location: Jordan
In a dramatic escalation, Jordan has officially banned the Muslim Brotherhood and seized its assets following revelations of a terror plot allegedly orchestrated by members of the group. Interior Minister Mazen Fraya announced on April 23 that all activities promoting the Brotherhood or its ideology would be criminalized, citing the group’s role in a “years-long plot to destabilize the Hashemite Kingdom.” Authorities say 16 members—trained and financed in Lebanon—were arrested for manufacturing rockets and drones intended for attacks inside Jordan, with weapons and covert missile labs reportedly discovered in residential areas. “Members of the dissolved Muslim Brotherhood have tampered with security and national unity,” the Interior Ministry said. The crackdown included raids on offices and confiscation of Brotherhood-linked documents. While the group denies the accusations, its political wing, the Islamic Action Front—Jordan’s largest opposition party—claimed it has “no relationship with any other organizational body.” The ban threatens to upend Jordan’s already fragile political balance, as the Brotherhood’s grassroots support remains strong in urban centers.
