Free Republic

When Britain confirmed last September that it would recognize a Palestinian state, it was pulled in the wake of France, which had signaled a few months earlier that it planned to take the symbolically freighted step. On Tuesday, almost a year later, Britain was the one to seize the initiative. The British government announced, followed by France and Canada, that it would stop trading with Jewish settlements in the West Bank. It went so far as to accuse some settlers of engaging in the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians. This diplomatic sequencing speaks partly to domestic politics in each country. Last...

A University of California, Irvine lecturer appeared to endorse violence against conservative activist Nick Shirley ahead of his scheduled appearance Wednesday before the Harvard Republicans. The remarks are drawing attention to campus political rhetoric surrounding Shirley, whose investigations and viral videos have made him a prominent conservative voice online. "In the comments of the Harvard Republican Club’s recent Instagram post announcing Nick Shirley’s visit to campus, UC Irvine and Chapman lecturer Matthew Goldman appears to endorse a potential act of violence against Shirley, just before the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination," *** In screenshots shared by Yard Report, Goldman...

The flyers went up in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood last month, plastered onto lampposts, bollards, building walls and traffic control boxes. “Beware: Talmudists are trained to cheat,” said one of the flyers posted in opposition to a housing redevelopment project. “Locals vs. Rothschilds,” another said. While those flyers echoed age-old antisemitic tropes, others deployed Israel-related or anti-Zionist rhetoric, decrying “dirty zionist money” and comparing the redevelopment project to the Nakba. “Stop Zionist occupation of Manhattan. NYCHA residents must keep their homes,” one said, referring to the New York City Housing Authority, at the entrance to an apartment building.

[Updated frequently]The genocide lieThe "Genocide" lie isn't a debate over facts—it's a coldly orchestrated political weapon: funded, coordinated, and laser-focused on forcing one toxic smear-word into every mouth, every headline, every official statement, through endless online swarms and staged street theater.The cheapening of the wordThe Genocide Lie: Why the Accusation Against Israel Collapses Under Scrutiny.

The headlines announcing Mark Ruffalo’s latest line of defense against claims of antisemitism were striking. More than 170 Jewish artists had rallied around the actor, denouncing an “outrageous smear campaign” and rejecting accusations that his rhetoric about the Ellison family and the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger trafficked in antisemitic themes. Read the names and the letter itself, and a different picture emerges. There are recognizable Hollywood figures among the signatories, including Joel Coen, Tony Kushner, Hannah Einbinder, Ilana Glazer and others. Of the 177 signatories, fewer than half are entertainment figures. The list also contains a significant collection of anti-Israel...

Tucker Carlson basically endorses Abdul El-Sayed for the U.S. Senate He said he would not vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint, called him a “tool of Israel,” and praised El-Sayed for “taking on” AIPAC. Tucker and Saagar Enjeti agreed that El-Sayed is running an “America First” campaign and said they would bet on him to win. Then Tucker said no one should be further from a position of power than Mike Rogers. https://x.com/JustinUSA/status/2095321352630636999

Greece is set to sign a 3.1 billion euro defence agreement with Israel in Tel Aviv, marking the largest single defence export deal in Israeli history and equipping Athens with its first fully integrated, multi-layered air defence system. A Greek delegation will formalise the contract with the Israeli Defence Ministry, concluding three years of negotiations. The systems, known collectively in Greece as Achilles’ Shield, will be delivered in stages and are scheduled to reach full operational readiness within 35 months. Most of the funding will flow to Rafael Advanced Defence Systems for David’s Sling batteries capable of intercepting heavy rockets...

Randy Fine easily fends off Hitler-fan Bilzerian, who loves pro-ISIS Islam convert and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate.: The Hebrew Hammer and the Antisemitic Circus Randy Fine did not merely win a Republican primary in Florida. He decisively turned back one of the strangest and ugliest primary challenges in recent American politics. Randy Fine won roughly 57% of the vote in Florida's 6th Congressional District, while social-media influencer Dan Bilzerian finished below 19%. Bilzerian had tried to make the contest a referendum on Fine's Jewish identity. His campaign descended into explicit antisemitism, including an AI-generated attack video portraying Fine through...

The man arrested for wildly disrupting a Sabbath service at a Midtown synagogue while assaulting two people told cops after he was apprehended, “F–k the Jews,” according to police. Police have filed hate crime charges against Larry Montes, 46, who attacked a congregant and a security guard as he went berserk and charged down the aisle at Central Synagogue, disrupting the sanctity of a peaceful Sabbath service, officials said Saturday. “Do you know who I am?” Montes ranted as he punched a 63-year-old woman and headbutted a 65-year-old security guard as he was being escorted out of the house of...

On Friday France's Constitutional Council upheld the new assisted death law and ruled against the social media ban law for those under the age of 15... The Russian interference narrative synonymous with some recent US elections is front and center in France's presidential election now six months away. At a Monday campaign stop one of the leading centrist presidential candidates and one of Emmanuel Macron's prime minister Gabriel Attal driving home that message. He said the government reporting linking online criticism of himself and other candidates to Russia is proof that Russia has a favorites in the 2027 Presidential Election...

Code Pink is a far-left organization that is anti-American and pro-Chinese. (Code Pink has run a “China is not our enemy” campaign.) Its U.K. branch organizes marches and demonstrations intended to demonize Israel and support the “Palestinians.” It consistently accuses Israel of “genocide” in Gaza. Now, investigators are looking into whether Code Pink is a Chinese agent: US politicians investigating alleged secret Chinese backing of Code Pink, a far-Left feminist protest group established in the US, are examining its activities in Britain as part of an inquiry into foreign interference. Code Pink has organised protests in the UK against Britain’s...

As more and more Democratic Socialist candidates win primaries, their anti-Israel rhetoric gets louder and more pronounced. American Jews have traditionally been a reliable voting bloc for Democrats. But as the party embraces new candidates who seem to have no love for Israel, Jewish leaders are becoming increasingly concerned. The recent primary victory of Abdul El-Sayed has Jewish leaders in Michigan sharing that concern. So much so that on Monday, several of those leaders sent a petition to the Michigan Democratic Party, asking for assurance of the safety of Jewish delegates at the convention. The petition, signed by roughly 200...

Abdul El-Sayed’s recent victory in Michigan should be a wake-up call for California. The political movement that helped propel El-Sayed to victory is already flourishing here, and its loudest obsession is a tiny country thousands of miles away. Israel. At a time when Californians are struggling with housing costs, homelessness, crime, failing schools and the basic affordability of raising a family, why are local politicians spending precious time turning city halls into debating chambers on the Middle East conflict?

A federal judge on Thursday dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit that accused Harvard University of letting antisemitism run unchecked, a major defeat in the federal government’s monthslong battle with the Ivy League institution. District Court Judge Richard Stearns, a Clinton appointee, said the Trump administration failed to prove “an ongoing violation of Title VI” by Harvard University. This comes after the Trump administration sued Harvard University back in March, accusing the school of failing to address antisemitism and discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students. The administration’s complaint focused mainly on incidents that took place during the 2023-24 school year, Stearns...

President Trump was right to highlight the Communist threat to our American way of life. During his address at Mount Rushmore, on the eve of our nation’s 250th anniversary, President Donald Trump warned Americans of a “resurgence of the Communist threat is now present in our country—including among newcomers who adopt ideologies that are fundamentally contrary to our way of life.” In this, the President rehashed the talk he gave at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference this past June, referring to the self-identified Socialist Democrats who won primary elections as “godless communists.” “These are not social democrats. These are...

Obama Used National Security to Spy on Americans Opposed to Islamic Terrorists Obamagate redefined opposition to Islamic terrorism as a national security threat. Mon Jun 8, 2020 Daniel Greenfield 55 Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. We know when Obamagate ended, but we don’t know when the policy of spying on Americans began.

Sometimes, bravery is found in unexpected places. The recording artist known as Boy George was so moved by an exhibition in London dedicated to the Jews slaughtered, tortured, sexually assaulted and abducted on Oct. 7, 2023, at the Nova Music Festival in Israel — “The Moment Music Stood Still” — he recorded the hauntingly beautiful reggae tune “We Will Dance Again.” Some of the lyrics are openly supportive of the Jewish state, a risky move for an entertainer in the current climate. “You say genocide, I say war / When you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for. “Does it get...

For eighteen centuries, Christianity never taught what most American evangelicals now believe about Israel.So where did it come from?In this video I (Olivia Swing) investigated the origins of Christian Zionism — the theology, the money, and the foreign influence operations actively targeting American churches right now. What I found was a paper trail hiding in plain sight, registered with the U.S. Department of Justice.

Grocery prices are insane. They’re still rising. Addressing this problem should be the number one priority of every elected leader. End the stupid foreign wars and focus on this issue. It’s one of the main reasons socialists are gaining power.— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) August 3, 2026

The lobbying group has more than doubled its spending on political campaigns, while rarely mentioning Israel. It has placed a large financial bet on today’s Michigan Senate primary. In less than five years, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee has become one of the biggest spenders in American elections, flooding the airwaves in congressional races across the country. Since its first involvement in elections, the amount of money AIPAC-affiliated political action committees have spent on campaign advertising and outreach to voters has more than doubled, from $29.3 million to $67.2 million, with much of it spent in Democratic primaries. The...
