[Make sure to read Robert Spencer’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]The George Floyd riots of 2020 showed leftists that they can do virtually anything in America today and suffer at worst only token consequences. On Monday, pro-Palestinian protesters in New York City showed that they have taken that lesson to heart.The New York Post reported that “hateful anti-Israel protesters yelling inflammatory chants snarled traffic and caused chaos as they descended upon John F. Kennedy International Airport Monday – creating a nightmare on one of the busiest travel days of the year.”...

Pro-Palestinian protesters have shut down entrance to the World Trade Center in New York City

How much longer will we put up with “peaceful protests” actually being violent riots? How many more times will we allow our roads and bridges to be shut down for the leftist lunacy of the day before we say enough? This week, a pro-Palestinian protest shut down the Manhattan Bridge. It wasn’t the first time the bridge had been brought to a standstill to ostensibly take a stand for Palestine. The bridge was shut down in November too. As The Post reported at the time, “Three demonstrators — one woman and two men — were arrested during the protest, according...

Hamas on Sunday threatened to kill all of its remaining hostages if demands such as more aid for Gaza and prisoner exchanges were not met, after suffering repeated losses in its battle with Israel. The Palestinian terror group is still holding the bodies of 20 hostages who died in captivity, Israel said over the weekend. Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’ armed wing, claimed Sunday that not another single kidnap victim will leave Gaza alive unless Israel agrees to all its demands in negotiations that broke down at the start of December. At least some of those demands have been...

Dozens of Oakland public school teachers took part in a pro-Palestine teach-in on Wednesday despite a warning from the district that the curriculum was not approved. The "From Gaza to Oakland" teach-in was organized by several members of the Oakland Education Association, who said it was a chance to expose students to diverse viewpoints and teach them about the human tragedy in Gaza. "As a Jewish teacher, this is a very important issue for me," said organizer and substitute teacher Judy Greenspan. "We feel that OUSD has been very one-sided and has leaned very heavily on the Israeli educational lobby."...

For the past 91 years California governors have taken part in the annual Christmas tree lighting on the grounds of the state capitol in Sacramento. But this year Gov. Gavin Newsom ended the tradition.The Democrat executive surrendered to pro-Palestinian activists who threatened to disrupt the ceremony.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the streets surrounding Rockefeller Center Wednesday, clashing with NYPD cops and chanting “river to the sea,” long seen as an antisemetic slogan, in an effort to derail the annual tree lighting in support of Gaza. Waving Palestinian flags and signs calling for the “end to genocide,” the ralliers gathered along Sixth Avenue alongside hordes of tourists waiting in line to see the iconic ceremony. Unable to get to the NYC Christmas tree, the enormous crowd instead swarmed around the tree outside the News Corp building, which houses The Post and Fox News, and has already...

Hundreds of “radicalized” kids rampaged through the halls of a Queens high school this week for nearly two hours after they discovered a teacher had attended a pro-Israel rally — forcing the terrified educator to hide in a locked office as the teen mob tried to push its way into her classroom, The Post has learned. The mayhem at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica unfolded shortly after 11 a.m. Monday in what students called a pre-planned protest over the teacher’s Facebook profile photo showing her at a pro-Israel rally on Queens Oct. 9 holding a poster saying, “I stand with...

Civilians in Gaza sheltered in fear amid constant bombardments targeting residential buildings and communications infrastructure on Monday, as Israeli officials vowed to further tighten a punishing siege of the densely populated enclave. “I can see the plumes of smoke from the bombings through my window,” said Rama Abu Amra, 21, from south of Gaza City. She screamed as the bang of a nearby explosion could be heard. “The bombs are falling all around us, we can’t even tell where they’re hitting. I can even smell the gunpowder now,” said the university student. “It’s so scary. We don’t know what’s happening...
