I come from a family that knows the enemy very well. When I write to you, it’s not because I absorbed another recycled narrative from some lazy media outlet.

Look, I would much rather be writing to you about a thousand other things. I have no shortage of subjects worth exploring. But how can I sit idly by when I see the West calmly, preparing the rope for its own executioners, smiling as it does so, the vacant smile of fools who don’t realize their heads are already resting inside the noose?

How do I live with myself if I see it and say nothing? I can’t. It doesn’t sit with my conscience. Because the video attached above is NOT an exception. It’s the essence!

In this video, an Islamist removes and readjusts the explosives he strapped onto a terrified child. This is part of the “process.” He is filming it as a form of satanic instruction, a tutorial for others like him, so they too can learn how to prepare children before sending them to die as what they call “martyrs,” and what we, the intended victims, call exactly what it is: suicide bombers.

3.5.26: ****My dad, Dr. Reuven Berko, pointed out that this video is not a tutorial showing how to strap an explosive device onto someone else using the child as the model. It’s a boy who arrived already wearing explosives, and this Islamist - who, in what sounds like a very heavy Iraqi accent, proudly presents himself as an explosives expert from a Shiite militia - is actually unstrapping the device. He then goes on to pray to Allah for them to conquer Mosul. So yes, my specific interpretation of what he was doing with the device was wrong.

However, that is the only thing that was wrong. What you still clearly understand from this video is that they use suicide bombers on each other, just as they use suicide bombers on us in the West. I’ve written many articles about this - especially about Israel, where this has been a deadly phenomenon known as the Intifada: the same Intifada they now march for on your streets and call to “globalize.” You can also see that they use children as tools of terror - among other forms of weaponizing children, they turn them into suicide bombers. And we, the good‑hearted people in the West who genuinely don’t want to harm children, are left almost helpless when Islamist terrorists use children as weapons or as human shields.

Finally, understand this: the Islamist who removes the device from this child and the Islamist who strapped it on him in the first place both hate us. Both sides would gladly detonate us if they could, without hesitation. They see the West as the enemy, and the fact that they are also fighting each other doesn’t change that. So this is the fine‑tuning I’m making here and it doesn’t change anything I’ve written from this point forward.

Long story short: in this case, he removed a remotely activated explosive device from a child belonging to the side they’re fighting against. But he could just as easily strap that same device onto a different child and send him off.

Do you see my point?

To them, this child is nothing but a tool. An instrument. His entire purpose, in their hateful worldview, is to detonate, to kill himself while murdering others, including children just like him, the so called “infidels.”

That is not a distortion. That is not propaganda. That is the raw, unfiltered reality of the radical Islamist ideology we are fighting; Our enemies, yes ours, the enemies of the free world, operate without conscience. None! No moral boundary. No red line. No hesitation. There is nothing they will not do, no life they will not exploit, no child they will not weaponize in their pursuit to murder us.

And yet, while all of this unfolds in plain sight, many of your European “leaders” -happily marching you toward Sharia law - are busy importing the very same fatal religious‑political ideology into your cities. They open the gates to the jihadists who carry it and spread it like a virus.

Then your so‑called “peace‑loving leaders” move to normalize the consequences of this reckless, large‑scale Islamist immigration. They normalize the antisemitism, the hate crimes, the rape of Christian women by Islamist immigrants, the “no‑go zones” that quietly expand their borders, swallowing neighborhood after neighborhood, city after city. And if you dare to be the child who sees the naked king and points at this terrifying slope you are all sliding down, you are instantly gaslit with the same tired “you’re Islamophobic” abracadabra trick.

The Islamist terrorist abusing a child in that video above is NOT an anomaly. He is a manifestation! He, and others like him, are being allowed and even encouraged to walk your streets. Among you. Among your children. They vote, just like you. They are gaining representation in your parliaments. And beyond that, they are having children at a rate you are NOT! Higher. Significantly higher.

Do you see the direction this is going?

Let that sink in. The math here is very simple…

Before we go further, read this: “Islam will conquer Europe without firing a shot.”

It’s an article I wrote months ago, and, unfortunately, it couldn’t be more relevant now.

Done? Lovely. Let’s continue.

Now, I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but I come from a very unconventional family. We are not a typical Israeli household. My parents are deeply involved in Israel’s security apparatus and have intimate, hard-earned knowledge of Arabs, Arab culture, and Islam; and we, the children, each embody different facets of Israel’s security world. I won’t go much deeper into that, but I will tell a bit you about my mother, because we’re talking about suicide bombers here and my beloved mother, Dr. Anat Berko, is a world-renowned expert on counter-terrorism, who conducted first-hand research in maximum security prisons in Israel.

Her books - The Path to Paradise and The Smarter Bomb - offer a unique glimpse into the inner world and motivations of suicide bombers who had failed, especially of women and children, and of those who recruit and dispatch them; the books are based on one-on-one interviews and dealings with terrorists sentenced to more than 100 sentences of life imprisonment.

The Path to Paradise: The Inner World of Suicide Bombers and Their Dispatchers

The Smarter Bomb: Women and Children as Suicide Bombers

Do terrorists really believe that if they die “as martyrs for the sake of Allah” they will go to paradise where 72 sloe-eyed virgins await them and rivers of alcohol flow at their feet? What is the place of women in terrorism, and how are they rewarded in paradise? Every answer is in those books. The links are attached above.

My brave mother persisted in her research in the face of real, personal danger, always at risk of being poisoned or physically attacked as she sat across from unfettered, bloodthirsty Palestinian terrorists who, only the day before, could have blown up one of our school buses, with her own children on it.

I’m spelling this out so you understand that when I write to you, it’s not because I learned anything from some lazy media outlet…

I come from a family that knows the enemy very well.

Dr. Lt. Col. (Ret.) Anat Berko, Former Member of Parliament

Thousands of people worldwide have been murdered in recent years by suicide bombers; many thousands more have become permanently physically and/or emotionally disabled, all of their families have been devastated by the aftermath.

My mom’s insights into the terrorists’ cognitive, emotional and behavioral patterns yielded critical intelligence in the field of psychological warfare. She created groundbreaking profiles for predicting those susceptible of being seduced into engaging in and using their deaths to initiate terrorist attacks, including biological and chemical warfare attacks. Her work also revealed critical distinctions between the Western mindset and that of Middle Easterners.

How did my mom separate the researcher of terrorists from herself as wife and mother, and what was her perception of a situation in which she, an Israeli “enemy,” sat across from a Palestinian terrorist? So many interesting questions that you might be asking yourself too. Maybe I should write an article where I interview her and put those questions to her directly.

My mom is also a policy maker who has lectured on counterterrorism at defense agencies, think tanks and universities all over the world including NATO, and in the U.S. at the Rand Corporation, the U.S. Congress, the State Department, the FBI and the U.S. armed forces. She was a lecturer at Israel’s National Defense College and the coordinator of its counter-terrorism program and a visiting professor at George Washington University; she is a lieutenant colonel (ret.) in the Israel Defense Forces, filled a security slot in the 20th Knesset at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

I remember that when my mom returned from interviewing terrorists in prison, she couldn’t stand the thought of anyone coming near her, including us, her children, not before she had taken a long shower to rid herself of the filth she felt she had been wallowing in, and not before she had thrown her clothes into the washing machine; I remember running toward her when she came back, wanting to hug her, but she didn’t let me, not until after she had washed it off. I remember it as traumatic for me as a kid, having to wait for this hug until after she had gotten rid not only of the actual grime of the prison, but also of her state of mind and the things she felt were still sticking to her from her talks with those monstrous terrorists.

As you probably understand by now, it’s not easy to grow up in a family like mine, and that’s the understatement of the year. I was exposed to, and lived through, surreal and crazy situations, and I still am. Some of them can be shared; most of them must stay concealed, and over time I will share what I can, from the same personal and authentic place I always write to you from.

For instance, I can tell you this much (and it also appears in one of my mother’s books): as a teenager, my mother once asked me to write a letter to a female suicide bomber who had already crossed the psychological barrier and pressed the button, fully intending to blow herself up and murder as many innocent Israeli civilians as possible, people who were simply minding their own business. The only reason they survived was a technical malfunction in her explosive device. She was arrested and sent to a maximum security prison in Israel, where she later met my mother, and my letter.

What did I write to her, and how did she respond? That is just the tip of the iceberg in the very unusual life I lead simply because I was born into this security “Kardashian” family ;) The Kardashian joke is there for a brief laugh; everything else is deadly serious.

An in‑depth interview with my mother, recorded six years ago.

I was constantly afraid for my parents as they did what they do. Almost from the moment I was born, I have carried an existential fear for their lives, knowing the kind of danger their work demands. I live in a state of constant alarm, an unending current of worry that never truly switches off. The emotional toll of this permanent fear that something, God forbid, might happen to them because of the immense life‑and‑death risks they take to defend Israel is almost impossible to convey to anyone who hasn’t lived inside it. Just try to imagine growing up like that.

On that note, to be continued.

In the meantime, let me leave you with some food for thought:

By what means do these jihadist Islamists intend to push Islam into “every home,” as they so openly and proudly proclaim on every global stage? Have you ever really sat with that question?

HOW exactly do they plan to “enter every home” and “reshape” humanity under Islam, as they tirelessly preach and aggressively work to achieve? There is no ambiguity about their intent. I don’t see the overwhelmingly Christian majority in America, for example, suddenly converting to Islam out of free will, so forgive me for insisting on the most obvious and uncomfortable question of all:

HOW?

Awakening, although painful, is necessary. These destructive forces are coming for you too.
