We know that antisemitism is out of control on college campuses, and we just had three university presidents testify that calling for genocide isn't a violation of the code of conduct … it depends on the context, like if a student were to actually start killing Jews. That might be taking it a bit too far. But if you misgender someone on campus, that's "abuse." We've often asked where these college-age kids developed such a deep antisemitism. We doubt it was from their parents. Is it all indoctrination by university professors? Or is it because they get their news from...

In November 1944, a young American soldier wrote back to his parents in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. Six years earlier, he and his family had fled Germany for the United States, only weeks before Kristallnacht, the infamous Night of Broken Glass.Now here he was, having returned to the place where, had they stayed, he and his family may well have already perished. "So I am back where I wanted to be," the young man wrote. "I think of the cruelty and barbarism those people out there in the ruins showed when they were on top. And then I...

Rashida Tlaib had the crowd eating out of her hand. It was March 2018, and the hookah lounge in a working-class suburb outside of Chicago was packed. Warm and engaging, switching frequently between English and Arabic, Tlaib - a Michigan State representative with larger ambitions - pleaded for out-of-state donations to help her become the first Palestinian American in Congress. She unashamedly told the audience that her Detroit constituents often declared: 'Rashida is a warrior, and this is a war we're in.' Sitting in the front row, Rafeeq Jaber listened intently, seemingly impressed and knowing a thing or two about...

Red Cross in 1944: “We found no trace of installations for exterminating civilian prisoners in Auschwitz” 👇 Red Cross in 2023: “We found no evidence of weapons or hostages being kept in hospitals in Gaza”

All over the West since the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre of 1,400 Israelis, Muslim demonstrators have been calling for a new genocide of the Jews, right under the noses of authorities, and yet those authorities have taken no notice. One problem is that the threat was in Arabic, and authorities in Europe and North America don’t generally speak Arabic yet. Another problem is that even when it is translated into English, the threat doesn’t appear at first glance to be as bloodcurdling as it actually is. But as the demonstrations grow more heated, it becomes increasingly unwise for authorities to...

The media in America is destructive, inhumane, utterly immoral, and has no conscience as a group whatsoever, and they are tearing this country apart through their lies and projection. Donald Trump has been the greatest friend Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the Oval Office, and the only president to have a Jewish family, but to people who don’t like him, he is Hitler. Democrat media outlets like Media Matters and people like Joe Scarborough make a mockery of the Holocaust by calling their political opponents Hitler as they do to Donald Trump, while they repeat Hamas...

University of Maryland police are trying to find the individual responsible for writing “Holocaust 2.0” in chalk Thursday on campus during a pro-Palestinian protest. The public university’s leaders announced the police investigation Friday while condemning the “hateful, antisemitic sentiments.” “The University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) has launched an immediate investigation and continues to conduct real-time threat assessments. Responsible parties will be held accountable,” the statement read. Jonathan Allen, a University of Maryland alumnus and associate director of government relations at the Anti-Defamation League, first drew attention to the incident in a post on X. Allen shared a photo of...

Kristallnacht, (German: “Crystal Night”) the night of November 9–10, 1938, when German Nazis attacked Jewish persons and property. The name Kristallnacht refers ironically to the litter of broken glass left in the streets after these pogroms. The violence continued during the day of November 10, and in some places acts of violence continued for several more days.

The leader of an LGBTQ group at Columbia University is excluding any supporters of Israel from an upcoming black lesbian film event, The Post has learned. With the conflict in Gaza raging, an organization called LionLez sent out a message to students promoting an on-campus “Black Lesbian Film” event said explicitly said no “Zionists” would be welcome to attend. “It’s FREE PALESTINE over here. Zionists aren’t invited. See you soon, Lion Lez,” read the promotion for the Friday night showing of the two flicks, including one called “Shakedown” which “chronicles explicit performances in an underground lesbian club in Los Angeles.”...

When I was at The New York Times, an op-ed by a Republican senator led to a crisis at the paper, and the longest editor’s note that I could remember. At least until the one that was published yesterday about the Gaza hospital bombing (more about that in a moment). Let’s stick, for a minute, to the brouhaha of June 2020. Perhaps you’ll remember some of the details, like the fact that hundreds of colleagues signed on to a statement saying that Tom Cotton’s op-ed “put the lives of black NYT staffers in danger.” My boss—and the paper’s former Jerusalem...

The World Holocaust Remembrance Center — Yad Vashem — on Wednesday responded to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his apparent effort to shift blame onto Israel for the horrific October 7 Hamas attack in which the terrorists slaughtered more than 1,400 people, including infants, women, and the elderly, all while raping and kidnapping others. In a U.N. Security Council meeting on Israel and Hamas, Guterres commented, “It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.”

Rep. Randy Fine I got jumped by a Nazi in Florida. On video.Two weeks ago. In Ron DeSantis’ Florida, that’s no big deal. I’m a target; I am the only Republican Jew elected to the Florida Legislature, and you will find few people in the Legislature who have championed DeSantis more. I endorsed him before he was the Republican nominee for Governor. I was his Jewish Outreach Chair. I carried his bills to take on Disney, and end child mutilation in the name of fake gender “science.” Every piece of legislation you hear him talk about regarding Jewish issues is...

Citi has fired one of its personal bankers after she defended Hitler and the holocaust in a vile anti-Semitic post following the Hamas terror attacks. CUNY Brooklyn College graduate Nozima Husainova, 25, sparked outrage with the remark which she posted on her now-deleted Instagram page and she's since lost her job, the bank confirmed Thursday. Responding to a post about the Gaza hospital bombing that Israel has denied, she wrote: 'No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of them all,' complete with a smiley face emoji.

President Biden lambasted Hamas Saturday for carrying out the “worst massacres of the Jewish people since the Holocaust” while putting the lives of its own Palestinian people on the line. “More than 1,300 innocent lives lost in Israel, including at least 27 Americans. Children and grandparents alike kidnapped, held hostage by Hamas,” the commander in chief said during his speech at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner.

A Stanford University lecturer has been suspended for allegedly making Jewish students stand in a corner while branding them “colonizers” — while also downplaying the Holocaust and defending murderous Hamas terrorists as “freedom fighters.” Students said the lecturer, who was not identified, opened two freshman classes Tuesday by saying the lesson would be on colonialism, the co-presidents of Stanford’s Israeli Student Association told the San Francisco Chronicle. He then blamed the war raging between Israel and Hamas on “Zionists” — supporters of a movement for the protection of an independent Jewish state. The lecturer also reportedly justified the slaughter of...

During an impassioned segment on MSNBC, Donny Deutsch slammed Hollywood and corporate America for their silence amid Hamas’ deadly attacks on Israel. “I don’t understand the silence from Hollywood. I don’t understand the silence from corporate America. I don’t understand the silence from the academics. And I don’t understand the silence from so many politicians,” Deutsch said, speaking with anchor Nicolle Wallace. Deutsch, who is Jewish, was previously a host on MSNBC and CNBC. The television personality and political analyst now hosts the podcast “On Brand With Donny Deutsch.” “There is not context here. This is about the slaughtering of...

(NewsNation) — After the Holocaust, the world said “never again.” But now, it’s happening again. Videos coming out of Israel show the worst of humanity and will make any decent human being uncomfortable, and might even make viewers sick to their stomach. But that’s the point. People need to see them. Some of the images showing Hamas hunting down Jews, rounding them up and killing them, are eerily similar to the images of Nazis doing the same thing. It’s difficult to say and to show and to look at, but we should and we will. A reporter from Israel’s I24News...

The Manhattan D.A. recently issued a criminal seizure warrant for ‘Girl With Black Hair’ in the possession of Oberlin College’s Allen Museum. Court records in a civil case reveal that the college has been fighting at least since 2006 against return of the drawing. This is in contrast to the college’s repatriation of an item of Native American craft returned to the Nez Perce tribe in 2002. Are items stolen from Jews during the Holocaust less worthy of return than items obtained from Native American tribes? ... Oberlin College was in the news recently after a drawing, Girl With Black...

The trip to Canada by Ukrainian President Zelensky was meant to divert from his lackluster United Nations and US Congress appearances, and give Kiev some semblance of a victorious Foreign Relations moment.To do that, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had his guest come to a special Parliament session, in which ‘he was interrupted by standing ovations seven times’ – as the MSM lore goes.However, Zelensky and Trudeau have unwittingly detonated a PR bomb that is hurting both of their reputations, and exposed the horrible reality of the Nazi ties of the Ukrainian ‘banderite’ regime.The unforced error was to bring 98-year-old Ukrainian...
