The police in Amsterdam arrested 154 soccer fans for singing antisemitic chants on the train while on the way to a match on Saturday, the authorities said, the latest in a series of bigoted public displays in the country. The police said that the supporters continued the songs and chants even after being told to stop, and then were arrested on charges that included insulting a group of people because of their race, religion or conviction. Those arrested were supporters of AZ Alkmaar, a team from a town about a 40-minute drive northwest of Amsterdam, the capital. They were going...

But, all along — and long after the series had gone into syndication, and years of reruns — there was a hidden joke in “Hogan’s Heroes.” It was simply this. Many of its characters were played by Jewish refugees from the Nazis. Consider: Colonel Wilhelm Klink, the commandant of the stalag. His chief characteristics: vanity, insecurity, paranoia, and basically inept, in constant fear of being sent to the Russian front. He was played by Werner Klemperer, a veteran German entertainer. He was born into a family that was part of German-Jewish cultural aristocracy. His father was the renowned conductor Otto...

The Supreme Court’s decision Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade and severely limit abortion access across much of the country is not only an infringement on my human rights. It also violates my religious beliefs. Given that American Jews are one of the most consistently liberal groups in the country, it’s not surprising that an overwhelming majority of us — 83% in one 2014 poll — support legal abortion in all cases.

Another day has passed, and another Muslim man has murdered another Coptic Christian in Egypt. On Sunday, June 5, 2022—the same day Muslims attacked a packed church in Nigeria, massacring more than 50 Christians—Abdullah Hosni, a Muslim man with a long history of harassing Christians, randomly attacked a Copt, Kirollos (Cyril) Megali, with a meat cleaver in a village in Sohag, Upper Egypt. Kirollos, who was rushed to a hospital “drenched in blood and with multiple stab wounds,” spent three days in an intensive care unit before succumbing to his injuries, including hack wounds to his skull. Kirollos after being...

Let’s all congratulate the Washington Post today! First, for hiring vindictive troll and notorious serial online bully Taylor Lorenz, and second, for covering themselves in glory once again by promoting the antithesis of good journalism as good journalism. WaPo is certainly getting plenty of attention for giving the green light to Lorenz to punish Libs of Tik Tok by any means necessary, means that include doxxing (and harassing family members, of course). But it’s also important to make sure that the Washington Post gets extra attention for what they did to promote endangering the livelihood and life of the woman...

With his companies miracle drug (vaccine) out for a little over a year, the CEO of Moderna, Stéphane Bancel, has gotten busy selling off his stock shares and then deleted his twitter account. Now that corona virus is defeated, and the twin hero companies of Moderna and Pfizer riding high, some may think this is odd behavior but maybe he just felt like his work here was done, and just wants to move on? This comes shortly after a former Blackrock executive began investigating the death statistics from insurance companies and funeral homes. Overall, he has dumped $400 million in...

ABC’s "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared the Holocaust was "not about race" despite the systematic killing of an estimated six million Jews, leading to sharp criticism of the outspoken liberal. The daytime gabfest was in the midst of a conversation about a Tennessee school district voting to remove a Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust from its curriculum due to "inappropriate language" and an illustration of a nude woman. "Maus" by Art Spiegelman tells the story of his Jewish parents living in 1940s Poland and depicts him interviewing his father about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor.

“It pains me to say this,” tweeted Team Biden staffer Aaron Keyak recently, “but if you fear for your life or physical safety, take off your kippah and hide your” Star of David. Keyak’s official White House title is “Jewish engagement director,” and his tweet revealed much about Team Biden’s views on anti-Semitism and cultural politics in 2021 — none of it good. Keyak, an Orthodox Jew, is a longtime Beltway swamp creature and Democratic Party hack. During the 2020 campaign, it was his job to tell Jewish voters that then-President Donald Trump was their No. 1 enemy, that his...

Israeli and Palestinian supporters clashed in New York City on Tuesday evening amid escalating violence overseas between the two bitter enemies which has left at least 38 people dead in the Middle East. Footage taken outside the Israeli consulate in Manhattan shows protesters fighting over barricades as police struggle to keep the two groups apart. Consulate workers were sent home earlier in the day due to safety fears. Other video clips show fights breaking out in the streets of New York City as punches are thrown. One man was pictured covered in blood after he was hit with a chair...

It is a hard fact that the centre of gravity of Israeli politics is now far to the Right, and still moving rightwards. This will remain so, with or without ‘Bibi’ There was a tempest in a small teapot recently, as Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused Israel of apartheid. That echoed the views of the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, which said in January that the current Israeli Government is an “apartheid regime.” But the official response was different. The Israeli Government ignored B’Tselem, but its Washington Embassy gave HRW the standard response to foreign criticism: “We strongly reject the...

Convicted spy laments US Jews see themselves as more American than Jewish, suggests he’d counsel Jew working in American security apparatus to spy for Israel even nowJonathan Pollard, the convicted spy for Israel whose story haunted the American Jewish community’s relations with the US government for decades, is unrepentant.“The bottom line on this charge of dual loyalty is, I’m sorry, we’re Jews, and if we’re Jews, we will always have dual loyalty,” Pollard said in an interview published Thursday in Israel Hayom, his first extensive remarks since his release from prison in 2015.Pollard recalled how much of the Jewish leadership...

The same symbol whose sight would make me feel uncomfortable, even unsafe, back home, sparked in me some sort of relief and sympathy on this distant island onsidering that we would be in Taiwan for 24 hours total, my travel buddy and I didn’t worry too much about finding kosher food. We’d arrive on a plane in the morning and leave on another plane the following morning. We’d bring our usual picnic bag with challah rolls and other sorts of Jewish foods we always take with us when we fly abroad. Still, I wanted to make sure we’d easily find...

Orthodox Jewish Woman on the Beach in Miami, Florida.On Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden won most of the “blue wall” in the Mid-West Trump succeeded in flipping in 2016, taking Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Trump also flipped Arizona, placing him at 264 electoral votes, 6 votes, or one state away from the 270 vote majority of the Electoral College. President Trump, meanwhile, remained stuck at 214 votes, as the slow count of mailed-in ballots in states he seemed to have won handily Tuesday night shows they are slipping away from his hold: Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Trump...

Jessica Krug, the white George Washington University professor who’s been masquerading as a black woman, once called a neighbor’s friend a “stupid white bitch.” “I said hi to her one day and she said ‘stupid white bitch’ or something,” the woman, a friend of one of Krug’s neighbors in East Harlem, told The Post Friday. SNIP Another neighbor, Anna Anderson, told the Daily Mail Krug called her “white trash” and said she was “gentrifying” the neighborhood by going running, the outlet reported. She also tried to claim the issues people of color face during confrontations with police. “Do you know...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo promised to crack down on large social events in Brooklyn after The Post reported three banquet halls in Borough Park appeared to be hosting Hasidic Jewish wedding parties on just one night this week after Mayor Bill de Blasio warned that a similar gathering there led to an “uptick” in coronavirus cases. “In the case of New York City, if there’s any evidence, or plans of weddings that would violate the law, they should forward those complaints to the NYPD or the mayor. If the mayor is not doing any enforcement actions, then the state will,” Cuomo...
