Over 30 Harvard University student organizations made a joint statement the day of the assault, writing that Israel is “entirely responsible” for the “unfolding violence.”Columbia University students from the groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace asserted that “the weight of responsibility for the war and casualties undeniably lies with the Israeli extremist government and other Western governments.” Likewise, Students for Justice in Palestine at Northwestern University affirmed in the aftermath of the attack that they “stand unwavering in our commitment to highlighting the profound injustices faced by the Palestinian people.”All the statements used left-wing, anti-colonial...

Iraq’s top judge, Faiq Zidan, who seeks the arrest of former President Donald Trump, confirmed through his spokesperson to Fox News Digital that he has indeed been invited to Washington, D.C. Fox News Digital first broke the story that Zidan had been invited to Washington. There had been confusion about the controversial judge's visit to Washington, D.C., when it was revealed that he was to meet with officials at the Department of Justice. A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital last week, "The Supreme Judicial Council President Faiq Zidan is going to be hosted by the Department of Justice,...

Decolonization is all the progressive rage these days except when it comes to the places where they — and you and I — live. According to the most up-to-date progressive thinking, it isn’t antisemitism to chant “Death to Israel.” All that chant really means is that the time has come for European colonizers (who just happen to be Jewish, you see) to leave Palestine. Peacefully, of course, except when terrorists force Jews to depart in body bags. Which is totally their fault. But what is there to say when the chant evolves — as it must — from “Death to...

Imagine if all those counterterror resources were redirected away from targeting Americans for their political views and aimed at stopping real terrorists.The barbaric attack on Israeli civilians over the weekend by Hamas terrorists has left people wondering, as we often do after mass tragedies: How did no one see this coming? As a surprisingly sophisticated, coordinated surprise attack left nearly 1,000 people dead and countless more innocents wounded or kidnapped, anyone can recognize the massive intelligence failure without calling into question who is morally culpable for the invasion. Iran-backed militants attacked civilians from multiple points of entry, hang-gliding into a...

We were fortunate to experience four glorious years of peace and prosperity under President Trump’s leadership. Since his removal due to a very questionable pandemic and a wave of unverified mail-in ballots, the world has descended into mass chaos. We find ourselves back in the “status quo,” where establishment-driven globalists hold the reins and enrich themselves and their friends while the rest of us suffer. However, we had a taste of the good life, and the majority of us yearned for more. Unfortunately, our government, which is deeply corrupted and rotten to its very core, couldn’t allow that, especially from...

The brutality of the Hamas attacks on Israel has shown Hamas to be constituted of murderous animals, not just killing but mutilating victims. It also has revealed that Biden's open borders and funding of terrorism has a frightening consequence. Terrorists and their supporters are here. Now. And they're everywhere.

Alleged smash and grab thieves fled the premises of a Manhattan Beach, California, jewelry store around lunchtime after a store employee pulled a gun and opened fire. Video of the employee shooting at the alleged thieves last Friday was released within the past few hours and published by ABC 7: KTLA reported the same jewelry store was targeted by smash and grab robbers in August 2014, at which time they were able to “[get] away with some $250,000 worth Rolex watches and diamonds.” They were able to get some merchandise during the October 6 robbery as well, but the amount...

Hamas terrorists beheaded babies and gunned down entire families in their homes in a small kibbutz in Israel, horrified Israeli soldiers have revealed. Some 70 Hamas terrorists wielding guns and grenades stormed the usually quiet Kfar Aza kibbutz in southern Israel, killing anyone - men, women and children - they saw. The bullet-riddled bodies of Israeli residents now lay in the grounds of the kibbutz among burned out houses, strewn furniture and torched cars, with solemn Israeli soldiers went from house to house to take away the scores of people massacred there. Defence Forces took the foreign press through the...

Dozens of babies were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists inside a kibbutz in southern Israel during Saturday's shocking assault on Israeli civilians, according to journalists who were let in to see the aftermath of the massacre. The bodies of 40 babies, some of whom were decapitated, were discovered by Israeli soldiers in the Kfar Aza kibbutz, located just outside Gaza, the Israeli-based i24 News reported. In kibbutzim, babies are typically housed together in a single nursery.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli warplanes hammered the Gaza Strip neighborhood by neighborhood on Tuesday, reducing buildings to rubble and sending people scrambling to find safety in the tiny, sealed-off territory as Israel vowed a retaliation for Hamas’ surprise weekend attack that would “reverberate ... for generations.” Aid organizations pleaded for the creation of humanitarian corridors to get aid into Gaza, warning that hospitals overwhelmed with wounded were running out of supplies. Israel has stopped all access of food, fuel and medicines into Gaza, and the sole remaining access from Egypt shut down Tuesday after airstrikes hit near the border crossing....

"Seinfeld" co-creator and actor Jerry Seinfeld hinted that a reunion for the popular sitcom may be in the works. During a recent performance for his comedy show, Seinfeld, 69, teased that he and co-creator Larry David were working on a special project for fans. "Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending. But I can’t really tell it, because it is a secret. Here’s what I’ll tell you. OK? But you can’t tell anybody," Seinfeld began in an Instagram video shared by Boston Global Media CEO Linda Henry.

A huge barrage of rockets were fired from Gaza. Hamas said it fired hundreds of rockets on Ashkelon in “response to the displacement of civilians in Gaza,” a statement on Telegram said. This comes after a Hamas spokesperson issued a warning to the residents of the southern Israeli city to leave the city before 5 p.m. local time.

Archaeologists believe they have found the site where Emperor Otto I (936-973), known as the Great, founder of the Holy Roman Empire, died.Otto the Great is regarded by historians as the first Holy Roman Emperor. He earned a reputation as a defender of Christendom as a result of his victory over pagan Hungarian invaders in 955 C.E. He used his self-proclaimed divine right as a ruler and his dealings with bishops to tighten his control over his kingdom and to begin his aggressive expansion into Italy. His son Otto II would succeed him after his death in 973 C.E.Archaeologists from...

Israeli civilians killed by Palestinian militants in the city of Sderot on October 7, 2023. If the choice is between killing the Jews and having their own state, the Palestinians invariably choose the killing. Several of my acquaintances and even more strangers on social media believe that Hamas's attack on Israel is "somewhere justified". They repeat the accusation, still concocted by the KGB, that Israel is "colonizing" the ancient Palestinian land, and that the Palestinians, driven from their poor land, have no choice but desperate "resistance". I cannot go too far back in time to explain the origins of...

After brutally massacring over 600 Israelis and then suffering some retaliatory strikes from Israel, the bloodthirsty jihadis of Hamas now want a truce. The Israeli government is virtually certain to get immense pressure to agree to such a truce, but this is actually the last thing that Israel should do at this point. Even before the magnitude of what Hamas perpetrated in Israel was fully known, calls for a ceasefire became a talking point. Leftist opinion makers from the ridiculous (Antony Blinken) to the absurd (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) began calling for a ceasefire so quickly that the Babylon Bee zinged them...

August 2016 was, at the time, the planet’s hottest month on record. In Freehold, New Jersey, where Jim Klenk was driving his usual route for UPS, midday temperatures were hitting highs in the 80s and 90s. During one of those punishing late-summer days, Klenk, who was 58, started feeling sick. He was disoriented, his wife, Theresa Klenk, recalled. He hadn’t been able to urinate all day. Like most of America’s more than 1.5 million parcel delivery drivers, Jim drove a vehicle that lacked air conditioning. On a typical shift, he would be in and out of his truck every few...

The IDF took dozens of foreign journalists on Tuesday to see for themselves the death and destruction wrought by Hamas terrorists this week. With explosions and artillery fire in the background, the crews, wearing helmets and flak jackets, picked through the destroyed Kibbutz Kfar Aza, where the bodies of Palestinian terrorists still lay outside of fire-scarred homes. The journalists were protected by at least a company of IDF soldiers, clad in full combat gear as they continued to clear homes. SNIP "It’s not a war,” General Itai Veruv, head of the IDF’s Depth Command, told reporters. “It’s not a battlefield....
