The fifth annual Mark Steyn Cruise docked yesterday at Southampton (not my favourite port of call) and so, in consequence, I spent a few hours in what passes for the United Kingdom. It is a very weird land. For example, if a partially deaf man asks a "migrant" to "speak clearly", this act necessitates a visit from the British state. Meet our Brit Wanker Copper of the Day: British police tell an elderly man that it has been alleged that he told a migrant "speak English." They warn the elderly man that it could be perceived as a hate crime....

On Thursday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Republican Liberty Caucus National Secretary Jessico Bowman talked about anti-Tesla violence and terrorism. Bowman said, “It’s definitely organized at a broader level. There is a website up that people can go visit that’s out there today, and I’ve actually posted this on my X account, I’ve shared some of these events, but they’re coordinating it with people locally across…not just the Indivisible groups, really, but, like, multiple groups and individuals that are, like, posting these events where people show up and they already have, like, pre-printed graphics…signs and stickers and things like you mentioned that...

February 21, 2025 . A woman holds a mask depicting the faces of Shiri Bibas and her sons Kfir and Ariel. (AP/Oded Balilty) In a revelation that should shock the conscience of humanity, Israeli authorities have confirmed that Kfir and Ariel Bibas—just 10 months and 4 years old—were choked to death with the bare hands of Hamas terrorists. IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari made the grim announcement: “Kfir and Ariel Bibas were brutally murdered by the terrorists. They murdered them with their bare hands. We collected forensic findings and intelligence information.” “Contrary to Hamas’ lies, they were not killed in an...

ADL's antisemitism global survey shows Muslim countries are still the most antisemitic - and getting worse.. The ADL released its survey of global attitudes towards Jews in most (but far from all) countries. As it always does, the ADL asks people whether they agree with a series of 11 classic antisemitic tropes. Only those people who believe in a majority of them are considered for the calculations of this index. So there are plenty of people who harbor several antisemitic attitudes that do not get counted as antisemites in this survey. The single most common factor to determine whether a...

Poison Fruits of Hatred Targeting Jews outside of IsraelNo Zionists are aiming at Arabs non terrorists. And of course nor are Arabs, Muslims and mosques attacked outside of Israel by them. But random Jews, places of worship have been, are being attacked by Arabs. Muslims. Targeting ultra orthodoxEach and every racist Arab-Muslim attacker (London, Antwerp, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Melbourne, etc.) knows fully well: Haredim, are non Zionists, by in large, object serving in IDF. But this, again, like fascist Arabs taunting Haredi Jews in Jerusalem, proves, everything is about bigotry. Muslim lobby bloc OIC's slave: UN and some...

Swedish prosecutors said on Wednesday they would put two men on trial for setting fire to the Quran in a series of incidents last year that prompted outrage in the Muslim world and raised fears of attacks by jihadists. The two men committed "offenses of agitation against an ethnic or national group" on four separate occasions when burning Islam's holy book outside a mosque and in other public places, the Swedish Prosecution Authority said in a statement. Sweden's domestic security service raised its terrorism alert level as a result of the burnings, while neighboring Denmark, which also saw a spate...

A survivor of the Hamas massacre at the Supernova music festival on October 7 speaks up about Hamas terrorists allegedly raping him during their attack, the first male victim of rape to recount their story in their own voice since most such victims ended up being murdered.

A controversial “Muslim civil-rights and advocacy” organization experienced a major blow to its reputation last week after the Florida House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution to denounce the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The rest of the county should follow suit and permanently blacklist this Hamas-linked Islamist group. Introduced by State Rep. Randy Fine (R-Palm Bay), House Resolution 1209 encourages all state and local government agencies in Florida to “suspend contact and outreach activities” with CAIR, citing the group’s extensive history of terror connections and anti-Jewish bigotry. The non-binding resolution, which was passed 98-15, comes as...

WASHINGTON - A recent study has named Gallaudet University as the most dangerous campus in America. According to data obtained by the Parrish Law Firm from Campus Safety, the D.C.-based university for the deaf and hard of hearing topped the list with a staggering 1,110 incidents per 1,000 students. The study analyzed various factors, including hate crimes, criminal offenses, and categories under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) reported between 2018 and 2022. It took into account campuses of different sizes by converting the raw data into the number of incidents reported per 1,000 students. They ultimately determined the rankings...

15 minute video of Oliver discussing Scotland & the new hate crime legislation.

Democrats run the state of Washington with almost no Republican opposition, and, apparently, there are so many unreported hate crimes that lawmakers have set up a snitch line. We don’t have anywhere near these problems where I live — you know, in MAGALand — but wherever Democrats run things, you get hate, racism, and bigotry, on top of crime, poverty, drug addiction, and homelessness.

A home belonging to a family of Pakistani migrants was set ablaze in the German town of Wächtersbach on Christmas Day 2023. Phantasmal right-wingers were immediately blamed for the arson. The family members, meanwhile, were depicted as victims of so-called Islamophobia and xenophobia. This narrative, agreeable to European leftists and the liberal media, recently went up in smoke. A convenient spark The fire began around 1 a.m. on Christmas morning and did roughly $379,000 in damage. The fire brigade found anti-migrant slogans scrawled inside the smoldering ruins. Der Spiegel reported that the words "foreigners out" had been spray-painted on some...

The gravesite of Joshua bin Nun in Samaria was vandalized, with malicious graffiti, including encouragement of Hamas and the October 7 massacre. Among the words spray-painted on the wall were, "Death to Jews[sic]," the names of terrorists who carried out attacks in Jerusalem, and other things. Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan called on the government and security forces to clamp down on terror in Judea and Samaria, just as the US dealt with ISIS. "This is a barbaric hate crime and a terror attack in every way," he said. "We received another reminder that the enemy in Gaza and...

After an initial delay on Saturday, another group of hostages was released by Hamas. As part of the deal, Israel then released an even larger group of terrorists who committed various violent acts, from stabbing to shooting attacks. As my colleague Jeff Charles chronicled, the reactions in Gaza and the West Bank were sickening and disturbing. Videos began to emerge of the released terrorists draping themselves in Hamas flags and symbology, showing that exactly zero lessons were learned.

A week ago, two young ostensibly religious Jews broke into the historic Protestant cemetery on Mount Zion and vandalized dozens of gravestones, including pulling down several crosses. One of the desecrated headstones included one with a bust of the second Protestant bishop in Jerusalem, the Reverent Samuel Gobat. The perpetrators carried out this shameless destruction proudly wearing kippot and tzitit (ritual fringed garment). All this was caught on a security camera, which you can see part of below.

Hate crimes against Jews in Democrat-run New York City surged 214 percent last month, the far-left New York Daily News reports. This is typical. Most of the gun violence, violent crime, pollution, sexism, racism, and hate crimes occur where Democrats are in charge. Time and time again, we see this. And yet, in rural MAGA Land, where all the supposed racists live, where we all own guns, where we supposedly don’t care about the environment, our towns and neighborhoods are clean, peaceful, safe, and tolerant. Funny how that works.
