Hundreds of pro-Iran protesters took to the streets in New York City to call for the killing of Israelis. Video footage circulating on social media shows protesters marching through Times Square to advocate against Israel’s airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities. The activists shouted several slogans such as “Iran, Iran makes us proud! Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!” according to The Jerusalem Post. They also chanted, “US drones in the sky, Iran’s missiles will reply” and “Courts and talks won’t set us free, resistance brings victory!” The rally, called “Solidarity with Iran” was organized by a socialist pro-Palestinian organization called...

In 2024, a majority — 58 percent — of antisemitic incidents “contained elements related to Israel or Zionism,” according to the Anti-Defamation League’s annual antisemitism report released earlier this year.

It happened again yesterday, this time in Boulder, with peaceful Jewish demonstrators set ablaze with a makeshift flamethrower by a vicious antisemite named Mohamed Sabry Soliman. But Jews are somehow modern Nazis? Yeah, right. PJ Media's own Sarah Anderson has all the details, so I won't repeat them here. But there are still a few things we need to talk about — even while Soliman’s victims remain hospitalized. As many others pointed out, perhaps the most worrisome thing about Sunday's violence is that it was not met with immediate retaliatory violence — what decent and reasonable people call "justice." It...

A commencement speaker accused the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) of being part of wiping "Palestine from the face of the Earth" Thursday, leading multiple students to walk out. Megha M. Vemuri, MIT's class of 2025 president, praised her classmates for protesting against Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks and the ensuing Gaza War. "Last spring, MIT's undergraduate body and graduate student union voted overwhelmingly to cut ties with the genocidal Israeli military. You called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. And you stood in solidarity with the pro-Palestinian activists on campus. You faced...

Those rejecting GHF humanitarian Aid backed by US/Israel. An empty long blah blah non-answer to a simple question. As if it was so "humanely" when UN handled it... (Ciaran Donnelly of IRC). Geee. I thought it's urgent and there is no time for tests or "honor" stuff. _____ PBS NewsHour, 5.27.25. Nick Schifrin: But, in some ways, if this is the structure that Israel is demanding, why not as an international humanitarian aid organization back this structure if this is what the government of Israel requires in order to feed two million people? Ciaran Donnelly: The starting point for our...

President Trump on Monday suggested taking grant money from Harvard and giving it to trade schools instead. “I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!” The comments come days after the administration’s feud with the nation’s oldest college intensified when the Department of Homeland Security announced it would eliminate Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification over the “pro-terrorist conduct from students...

Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres urged the Capitol Police to investigate alleged threats from a baby-faced anti-Israel activist who urged support for the gunman accused of killing two Israel Embassy staffers in DC. Guy Christensen, the Keffiyeh wearing 19-year-old from Pennsylvania who uses the handle “YourFavoriteGuy,” posted a three-minute video rant on X May 22 trashing Torres as a tool of the Zionist lobby who backs genocide. “Now, Ritchie, screenshots are forever, and what you’ve said and done will haunt your family for eternity, as you will eventually, if you’re still alive, end up in a Nuremberg trial,” Christiansen said in...

Rodriguez's trip to People’s Congress of Resistance at Howard University sheds light on path to radicalism. A radical left-wing group described as a "conduit" between the Chinese Communist Party and domestic anti-Israel groups raised money for Elias Rodriguez, the 30-year-old Chicago native who allegedly murdered two Israeli diplomats in Washington, D.C., to attend a "resistance" conference in September 2017. There, Rodriguez rubbed shoulders with "comrades" from pro-Hamas groups and other radical organizations, coming away impressed with their "commitment to actually getting things done," according to a video and an online fundraiser unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon. Rodriguez’s attendance at...

Left-wing darling Hasan Piker has been booted from the streaming platform Twitch after he suggested that the killing of two Israeli Embassy diplomats in Washington, DC looked like it could be a “false flag” operation. Piker, 33, claimed his account, which has more than 2.8 million followers, was suspended because of his “critical examination” of the manifesto of suspected terrorist Elias Rodriguez, who was charged with executing embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night. He said the attack had all the hallmarks of a “false flag operation,” a term used for an...

A popular left-wing Gen-Z TikTok creator with millions of followers praised the deadly shooting of two Israeli diplomats in the U.S. capital, calling the gunman a “resistance fighter” — joining other far-left groups that have justified, excused, or openly celebrated the attack. On Thursday, social media personality Guy Christensen — known online as “YourFavoriteGuy” — posted a video voicing support for Elias Rodriguez, the man accused of killing two Israeli embassy employees during a private event in Washington, DC, last week. “I do not condemn the elimination of the Zionist officials,” Christensen said in the now-deleted clip, later urging viewers...

Antisemitism is increasing on university campuses — and throughout the world. But let’s be clear: Donald Trump and the right wing are not fighting antisemitism. They are exploiting it. And they are deliberately doing so, using Jewish people as pawns in a broader war on education.

The father of the terror suspect accused of gunning down two soon-to-be-engaged Israeli Embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum was honored by a far-left member of Congress with an invitation to President Trump’s joint address this past March, The Post has exclusively learned. “Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Ill.) said Thursday night. In March, he hailed Rodriguez as “an outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.” “Eric represents the very best of our community —...

Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old man from Chicago, has been arrested by US authorities following the killing of two Israeli embassy workers on Wednesday evening. A man and a woman identified as a couple called Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgram were pronounced dead at the scene near the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., after a gunman opened fire. It’s understood that the victims, who were both said to be Israeli nationals, had been attending a ‘Young Diplomats Reception’ before they were shot when leaving the event.

As RedState reported, two Israeli embassy workers were gunned down in cold blood by a man who chanted "free, free Palestine" in the aftermath. Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky, who were planning to get engaged soon, were attending an event on collaboration to deliver aid to Gaza when Elias Rodriguez, a member of the Chicago-based Party for Socialism and Liberation, allegedly shot them from behind. Now, more information is coming out about Rodriguez, who is a "pro-Palestinian" (see: pro-Hamas) activist. Before allegedly carrying out the murders, he released a manifesto online in which he wrote, "Those of us against the...

Police are probing whether the suspected terrorist arrested for shooting dead two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. blasted out an anti-Israel manifesto online in the lead up to the bloodshed, law enforcement sources told The Post. Elias Rodriguez, 31, had allegedly chanted “Free, free Palestine” just moments before he confessed to gunning down the couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum late Wednesday, cops said. As investigators probed a motive behind the horrific antisemitic bloodshed, cops were homing in on a 900-word manifesto brandishing Rodriguez’s name that started circulating online immediately after his arrest, the sources said. In addition to...

Two people were murdered at the Jewish Museum in DC after a year and a half of calls for violence and murder against Jews, as the right to terrorise Jews has been vigorously defended. The protesters who have spent the last year and a half calling for Jewish blood got their wish when an antisemite fed on a diet of lies and blood libels shot and murdered two Israeli embassy employees at the Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, last night, while shouting “Free Palestine.” This was a terrorist attack targeting Jews in the capital of the most powerful nation in...

Each is a wannabe autocrat, each is working to undermine the rule of law and so-called elites in his respective country, each is seeking to crush what he calls a “deep state” of government professionals. Each is steering his nation away from its once universal aspiration to be a “light unto the nations” toward a narrow, brutish might-equals-right ethnonationalism that is ready to mainstream ethnic cleansing. Each treats his political opposition not as legitimate but as enemies within, and each has filled his cabinet with incompetent hacks, deliberately chosen for loyalty to him instead of the laws of their lands....

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid went “on a vile antisemitic rant,” in which she blamed Orthodox Jews for the spread of COVID-19 in New York City, a former production assistant at the network claims. In the summer of 2020, the lefty former “TheReidOut” host allegedly ripped Orthodox Jews, saying they “only care about themselves” and are “in their own bubble,” and accused the group of reckless behavior during the opandemic, according to the PA. The ex-PA, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said she is speaking out now that Reid’s been axed because “people should know what her character is.”...

The US Department of Education is launching an investigation into five colleges, including Columbia University, over alleged “widespread” anti-semitic harassment following the tumultuous spring term where anti-Israel protests escalated on campuses countrywide. Under President Trump’s direction, the DOE will be probing Northwestern University, Portland State University, the University of California, Berkley and the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities alongside Columbia — where the student encampment protests first sparked over Israel’s retaliatory strikes on Gaza after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The anti-Israel demonstrations stretched from colleges in Maine all the way to Alaska and sometimes turned into violent clashes with pro-Israel...
