Tucker Carlson’s Populist Poison Laced with pro Nazism Is Driving Some Young Jews Toward the Radical Left e.g. Mamdani (just like Charlottesville 2017 helped Biden). Tucker Carlson’s Populist Poison Laced with pro Nazism Is Driving Some Young Jews Toward the Radical Left e.g. Mamdani. Tucker Carlson built his brand on the illusion of defending “real America,” but what he’s actually done is mainstream grievance politics and conspiracy rhetoric that corrodes the conservative movement from within. By flirting with isolationism, even pro-Hitler Fuentes, Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper, excusing antisemitic tropes, and casting suspicion on Israel’s moral legitimacy, Carlson has alienated countless...

Deputy PM David Lammy was booed at a Manchester synagogue vigil after the Yom Kippur attack. The assailant, previously accused of rape, had been freed on bail. His father condemned the attack but had praised Hamas on Oct. 7. Ynet Global|10.03.15.14:58 Jihad al-Shami, the attacker who carried out the Yom Kippur synagogue attack in Manchester, had recently been released on bail after being accused of rape and was due to appear in court soon, Britain’s Guardian reported Friday. According to the report, al-Shami was investigated over a rape earlier this year and had past convictions for several criminal offenses. Despite...

Jews across the UK have been urged to lock their doors and not to congregate in groups as police patrols are stepped up outside synagogues and in areas with large Jewish populations after the Manchester attack. Sir Keir Starmer told the Jewish community that he would do “everything in my power to guarantee you the security you deserve” as he announced additional police officers and assets would be deployed to all Jewish communities. Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, said that she would “do whatever is required” to keep the Jewish community safe as she visited the site of the attack...

Friedrich Merz.... He has insisted that Hamas cannot be allowed a role in Gaza’s future and that hostage release and disarmament are non-negotiable. This is not callousness; it is the minimum moral logic of diplomacy. A peace plan that includes Hamas is not a peace plan at all – it is surrender to fanaticism and rewards the wrong side. And here Germany’s historic responsibility comes into sharp relief. No European nation has a deeper obligation to the security of the Jewish people. For Germans, the Holocaust was not a tragic accident; it was a state-driven programme of annihilation, which can...

Peter Baum @baum_p: Palestinians steal the cultures of others because they have no culture of their own. They even call themselves Palestinians even though they speak Arabic though there is no letter ‘P’ in Arabic . So in Arabic the pronunciation is Filastin which means Philistine - or uncouth uncultured heathens……seems appropriate.

The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is quietly developing an artificial intelligence system that could dramatically speed up asylum approvals worldwide. While publicly marketed as an “efficiency tool” to identify bottlenecks in the refugee process, this AI system gives the UN something it has never had before: real-time control over the pace and volume of migration flows. According to UNHCR, the AI is designed to: Analyze global refugee case files in bulk. Flag points in the process where applications stall. Alert UN staff to “optimize” workflows in near real time. Western countries are already under enormous political pressure to expand...

"BREAKING: Active shooter described as a “middle eastern man” opened fire at police in Manhattan"

ATHENS/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters blocked Israeli tourists from disembarking in Greece on Tuesday, forcing an Israeli-owned cruise ship carrying 1,600 passengers to reroute to Cyprus. The Crown Iris, operated by Israel’s Mano Maritime, was prevented from docking in the port of Ermoupoli on the Greek island of Syros as an estimated 300 demonstrators gathered in and around the port to protest Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza, witnesses said.

Six days before polls closed in the New York City mayoral primary, and hours after former Mayor Michael Bloomberg injected an extra $5 million into former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's mayoral PAC, a group of Muslim Americans began mobilizing nationwide. A few donors told ABC News they knew they couldn't match Cuomo's donors, but believed a small jolt might give Zohran Mamdani a final push in the Democratic primary.

A rising number of young German women are being converted to Islam through hardline Salafist outreach on social media, according to Berlin’s domestic political intelligence agency. The fundamentalist Salafism branch of Sunni Islam is making gains in Germany through increased proselytising on social media, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has said. According to figures shared with Die Welt, the number of Salafist followers in Germany in 2023 stood at 10,500. This rose to over 11,000 last year, nearly three times the number recorded in 2011. The political spy agency claimed that conversions of German women...

The University of Washington slammed the "offensive and destructive behavior" of activists who ignited dumpsters and occupied a campus engineering building, and said it opposed antisemitism, as police arrested around 30 of those involved. The activists said they were pro-Palestinian and fighting for the university to end its relationship with Boeing over the manufacturing giant's dealings with Israel amid the war with Hamas.

About two-thirds of the American people support the deportation of non-citizen students, such as Mahmoud Khalil, who indicate support for internationally recognized terrorist groups, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.

Ziad Khawla, 25, is accused of attacking the youth following a chance encounter close to the city centre. The Palestinian-born defendant appeared at Belfast Magistrates’ Court for a preliminary enquiry into the strength of the prosecution case. He is charged with rape and two counts of sexual assault over the incident on March 2 last year. It was previously disclosed that the teenager phoned police to claim he had just been attacked by a stranger who approached him near the Waterfront Hall. The man was reported to have offered him a cigarette before they then walked a short distance to...

Germany is stuck in a deep economic crisis amid a structural break that the country’s leading industry lobby predicts will lead to the most protracted downturn since reunification nearly 35 years ago. The Federation of German Industries (BDI) forecasts the German economy to contract by 0.1% in 2025. That would follow a 0.2% decline in 2024 and a 0.3% contraction in 2023. According to the BDI, Germany’s expected contraction this year is in contrast to projected growth of 1.1% for the European Union. “Industrial growth, in particular, has suffered a structural break. Order books remain empty, machines are standing still,...

Columbia University erupted in another round of anti-Israel protests Tuesday, with masked people disrupting classes and passing out flyers showing a boot stamping on a Star of David, witnesses told The Post. Video shows the masked protesters bursting into a History of Modern Israel class on campus and handing out flyers showing an Israeli flag on fire and the words “Burn Zionism to the ground.” The incident comes as Columbia was named the “national model” for anti-Israel protest — setting a template copied by others for coordinated protests across the country, according to a watchdog group. In its report looking...
