Anti-Zionists are not necessarily Anti-Semites. This has been the argument by the vast majority of Anti-Zionists for decades as they campaign against the nation of Israel. But what we’ve seen for the last month betrays that narrative. Many if not most of the self-proclaimed Anti-Zionists have aligned perfectly with unabashed Anti-Semites.
In other words, they’ve jumped the shark and negated the narrative that they’ve been building for a long time. Rather than simply calling for a two-state solution or wanting to end “apartheid,” many Anti-Zionists have joined the calls for “Free Palestine” by chanting “from the river to the sea,” justifying their shift by claiming Israel is engaged in “ethnic cleansing.”
Those who are truly Anti-Zionists, who hold no ill-will to the Jewish people but who want a solution that allows Palestinians to possess some of the land and truly self-govern, should avoid the “Free Palestine” protests at all costs. They should distance themselves from the pure hatred for Jews that permeates the current movement. Calling for the extermination of Jews and the “cleansing” of the lands of “Palestine” is a far cry from the basic tenets of Anti-Zionism.
Arguments against the government and state of Israel are often sound. Those who do not believe the land of Israel was returned to the Jews by God for His name’s sake — as described in Ezekiel 36 — can explore history and come to the conclusion that the Jews are occupying the land of “Palestine.” Only through sound exegesis can we know this is incorrect. Jews were not called back to the land as a reward but as an inheritance, undeserved but promised nonetheless.
In other words, they are there and will continue to be there because they are God’s message to the world, again as described in Ezekiel 36. They aren’t there because they are superior. They are there because God wants the world to know that against all odds by human standards, He is still in complete control. As prophesied in Ezekiel 36:
22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
But I’m not here to argue Bible prophecy or debate whether the Jews in Israel are really the people spoken of in the Bible. I want to highlight the messaging coming out of the pro-Hamas camp and warn those who are embracing it.
I’ve lost a few friends in the past month. They aren’t happy that I’m not joining in their condemnation of Israel for responding with force to eliminate a terrorist group that committed heinous crimes against their people. They’re upset that I blame the cowards of Hamas for using their own people, including children, as human shields. They have ghosted me because I’m not echoing their sentiment that Israel is engaged in “ethnic cleansing.”
Some of these former friends have been exposed as full-blown Anti-Semites. It’s been shocking to see them shift from a two-state solution to driving out all Jews from the land of Israel. But others who have ghosted me are trying to make the argument from an Anti-Zionist perspective. Those friends and people like them are the ones who need to separate their narratives from the Jew-haters, Nazis, and radical Islamists.
An editor at a very popular conservative website ghosted me recently. And while he argues that his Anti-Zionist message is not Anti-Semitic, one need only read the hundreds of hideous replies on his site to realize that he’s aligned with Jew-hatred whether that’s his intention or not.
As an America-First patriot, I only support Israel’s plight ideologically. I do not want a single American troop or taxpayer dollar sent to them. If they want to buy weapons, that’s fine. If they want help with intelligence in a region that we monitor constantly anyway, that would be fine. But I’m opposed to the involvement we have in the region already. If we’re pulled into the way against my hopes, then I’ll reassess support. God’s Will be done, and if He puts us in the war then so be it. Until then, I’ll oppose our involvement because we have plenty to worry about at home. In other words, it’s not our fight until it is our fight.
Conservatives who are true Anti-Zionists need to handle their own messaging and separate it from the “Free Palestine” movement. This should be obvious to them because the “Free Palestine” movement is made up of Anti-Semites, radical Islamists, Nazis, terrorist sympathizers, the vast majority of the radical left, the globalists, and the woke children on college campuses.
No hatred for a group of people is stronger than hatred for Jews. One has to question how many people who claim to be Anti-Zionists have been Anti-Semites all along.

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
