An anti-Israel student tore up her diploma during her commencement ceremony last Friday. Tarsis Salome was one of several students who came to the ceremony wearing zip ties on their hands in protest against the university's decision to remove the tent encampment set up on the Columbia campus last month. The protesting students also carried pro-Palestinian signs. Salome tore her diploma to shreds immediately upon receiving it. Another student appeared to have the name of senior Hamas official Mazen Jamal Al-Natsheh written on her cap as she accepted her diploma, the New York Post reported. The Students for Justice in...

Yahya Sinwar the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, created and oversaw a secret police force that monitored and created files on ordinary Gazan civilians, the New York Times reported. Documents seized from Gaza indicate that this secret force, which is called the General Security Service, targeted journalists, young people, and others who questioned the Hamas government in Gaza. Anyone who attended a protest against a Hamas official or any aspect of Hamas's rule, as well as anyone who publically criticized Hamas, was investigated by the General Security Service. The secret force was used to quash...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that the United States and European countries were not doing enough to pressure Israel to agree a ceasefire in Gaza, after Hamas' move to accept a truce proposal, Reuters reported. Speaking to Muslim scholars in Istanbul, Erdogan said Hamas had accepted a ceasefire proposal by Qatar and Egypt in a "step in the path toward a lasting ceasefire", but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government did not want the war to end. "The response of the Netanyahu government was to attack the innocent people in Rafah," he charged. "It has become clear who...

Columbia Law students want their final exams called off … in the name of Palestine. In a recent letter, the student editors of the Columbia Law Review made a public call for the school to cancel the semester’s remaining exams and “give all students passing grades for their work throughout the semester.” “We believe that canceling exams would be a proportionate response to the level of distress our peers have been feeling,” the unnamed students wrote in an open letter. The plea comes after Columbia University, on April 30, authorized the NYPD to clear out trespassers who violently and forcibly...

For many years, decades even, the rich Nordic social democracies were seen as the perfect haven for immigration. Regardless of origin, race, religion or any other status, most of these countries were built by the arrival of hundreds of thousands of foreigners. Some time ago, however, all this has begun to change, especially in Denmark. Denmark is by far the Nordic country that has taken the most radical approach to illegal immigration. Did you know that the Danish government is even demolishing immigrant neighbourhoods? In this video we tell you all the details.

Sky News host Rita Panahi has reacted to footage of university professors getting themselves “arrested in hilarious ways”. Ms Panahi blasted an economics professor from Emory University in Georgia, who was “silly enough to hit a police officer” and then refused to “get down”. “We’ve brought you plenty of footage of lefty students acting unhinged on university campuses but the academics are no better,” Ms Panahi said. “One could argue they’re worse. “They have indoctrinated their students, they’ve enabled and emboldened the worse elements. “Now they’re joining the protest, and a few are getting themselves arrested in hilarious ways.” Transcript...

The people of Britain are waking up and walking away from this illusion of democracy foisted upon them by the so called elites.

Aviv Kochavi admits IDF knew of Hamas's tunnels and number of rockets prior to October 7, but was more focused on confronting Iran and Hezbollah.

Hamas opened fire near the Keren Shalom crossing that had been used to bring in aid to Gaza. The attack was predictably launched from near a civilian shelter in Rafah. Meanwhile, Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, whose employees have been shown to be Hamas, again and again, accused Israel of blocking aid. Every UN and international aid body in the region keeps claiming that there’s famine in Gaza. As they’ve been claiming for the past 6 months. Except that the famine is always on the verge of arriving, but never quite does. Israel has not only moved aid through...

National Security Council chief Tzachi Hanegbi spoke about a military operation in Rafah, stressing that, "the decision has been made - the question is not if, but when." Speaking to Israel's "Meet the Press" program, Hanegbi said, "Sinwar is living on borrowed time." "He escaped from one burrow to the next, we were very close to him. There are those who would say that we were incredibly close, at one point. Maybe even less than a few days." Comparing Sinwar to Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who was eliminated by US forces in 2011, Hanegbi promised that Sinwar "won't...

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demanded that Israel end its military operation in Rafah, less than a day after the IDF launched an operation to destroy the final four Hamas battalions in Gaza. "I am disturbed & distressed by the renewed military activity in Rafah by the Israeli Defence Forces," Guterres wrote on X today (Tuesday). "I urge the Government of Israel to stop any escalation, and engage constructively in the ongoing diplomatic talks." .....

Prof. Shai Davidai, a lecturer at Columbia University, which recently suffered from violent anti-Israel protests, published an open letter to Israeli academics expressing his concern for their imminent harm. "To all my friends who research and lecture in Israel, it's hard for me to say this, but it's important that you know. You will be the first to be harmed," Davidai He mentioned that "The processes are already in motion and although you don't feel it yet, it's coming. And when it arrives, it will be too late to act". "It will start almost without you noticing. Articles that won't...

The New York Times has confirmed that on Monday night, the Hamas terror group proposed a counteroffer for a ceasefire-prisoner swap deal, and did not "agree" to the deal approved by both Israel and the US. Nevertheless, the counteroffer - though not deemed acceptable - was seen by the US as a sign of progress. The New York Times stressed that Israel's strikes in Rafah were "retaliation for Hamas rocket attacks that killed four Israeli soldiers," and a way to pressure Hamas, but did not constitute the strike that US President Joe Biden was warning against. Biden is still insisting...

Hitler gives Joe Biden another call because he's thinks Biden is too old to be re-elected president.

Anti-Israel protesters at the University of California, Los Angeles, secured endorsements from the terrorist organizations Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine last week with their genocidal rhetoric, violent outbursts, and denunciations of Israel. Counterprotesters have since helped the anti-Israel radicals understand precisely who they have gotten into bed with. An anonymous group installed a large screen outside UCLA's Kaplan Hall over the weekend, where multitudes of pro-Hamas radicals have been encamped since Thursday. The screen — which is gated off and flanked by signs that read, "Hamas, free the hostages" — has apparently been playing footage...
