When Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week unveiled the 18-person committee that will advise him on his judicial nominations, he said the committee reflected the city it served. But to some observers, something seemed off. Though Jews make up an estimated 10 percent of the New York City population and represent such a significant share of New York City lawyers that the Jewish lawyer has become a cultural stereotype, the mayor’s 18-person committee seemed to have no Jews on it. On Monday, Elizabeth Forspan, the president of the Brandeis Association of Queens, a group of Jewish legal professionals, sent a letter...

In his latest appearance on Fox News, Sen. John Fetterman called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani a “clown” for saying he might have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he comes to the city. Fetterman, a staunch Israel supporter who appeared on “Hannity” Wednesday night, mocked Mamdani for threatening to order Netanyahu’s arrest on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court but then backtracking earlier this week while admitting the city would not have the authority to do so. “So, sit down. You know you’re a clown,” Fetterman said, directing his comments to Mamdani. “You’re just going...

NEW YORK — An attacker stabbed a Jewish man while shouting “allahu akbar” in New York City on Thursday afternoon, the NYPD said, citing victim and witness statements. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said two victims were stabbed in separate attacks on the Upper West Side. One of the victims was Jewish and one was Asian, Tisch said. Tisch identified the suspect as 51-year-old Raul Morales, who was taken into custody at the scene. She said the NYPD was evaluating whether the attack was a hate crime, adding that “mental health may have been a factor.” New York Assemblymember Micah Lasher,...

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the city’s second-youngest mayor, sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from George Deek and preaches hate. George Deek is an anomaly: a young Christian Arab who became Israel’s first Christian Arab ambassador when he was appointed envoy to Azerbaijan in 2019. He could have been raised to hate Jews and Israel. He could have despised America. His journey is one everyone should know. He represents a generation of young people who are becoming today’s leaders. While attending a private event at the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem to mark the launch of...

It never had their backs in the first place. The nomination of open Hamas supporters by the Democratic Party has led to another round of American Jewish liberals bemoaning their abandonment by the party and the movement despite that time they marched with MLK. But the Democratic Party didn’t abandon the Jews, it never stood with them in the first place. When was the Democratic Party ever friendly to Jews? Was it the antisemitism of New Deal litigation that targeted Jews in the Shechter chicken case or when FDR told Stalin that he might give the Saudi regime “the six...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week tore off the mask: He’s going full-on antisemite. At last Thursday’s rally for his slate of extremist House candidates — Brad Lander, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez — Mamdani railed that we’re now living in a “time of monsters.” Who are these monsters? Though they “take many forms,” it’s … AIPAC. Yep: Per Mamdani, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is the heart of all evil; the only thing it fears more than democracy “is an end to genocide.” Reality check: AIPAC is an entirely legal political outfit that operates like dozens of other...

VIENNA—On May 9, the day before the Eurovision Song Contest held its opening ceremony, protesters were already in the streets. Israel’s participation, a fact of Eurovision since the country joined in 1973, had become a flash point after the war in Gaza began in 2023. Ahead of this year’s contest, the 70th edition of Eurovision, the controversy reached a fever pitch. What began as calls from artists and activists for Israel’s exclusion transformed in the months leading up to the contest into an open revolt. Five countries—Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain—announced they would not attend. Numerous former contestants...

Israel is guilty of the same crimes Hamas carried out on Oct. 7, 2023, according to an opinion piece published by the New York Times on Sunday. Israeli soldiers are accused of inflicting sexual violence on Palestinian prisoners, and even of “dogs being coached to rape prisoners.” These accusations are as ridiculous as the conspiracy theories that are regularly spread in Muslim countries. Jews have been accused of training sharks to attack Muslims on beaches, training eagles to act as spies, and operating “Israeli-made robot dolphins.” Yet unlike some of these accusations, this claim is appearing not in Iranian state-run...

One Month in NYC. 0 Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes. 30 Anti-Jewish Hate Crimes. Islamophobia is a lie. May 6, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield Remember the time when Muslim terrorists killed 3,000 people in America and then Zohran Mamdani’s aunt, who wasn’t actually his aunt, was supposedly afraid to ride the subway? ‘Islamophobia’ has always been one big lie. The most notorious supposed cases of attacks on Muslims either turn out to be straight up hoaxes (e.g. Shamia Alawadi, the rash of hijab assaults) or general crimes having nothing to do with Muslims that are falsely misrepresented as anti-Muslim attacks (e.g. the...

.......That would be Warren Kinsella, a native Canadian with an impressive résumé and a long list of accomplishments. In this riveting interview, featured on Israpundit.org, he relates how in his experience in running political campaigns — and being the campaign manager for Prime Minister Jean Chrétien (1993–2003) — he instantly recognized that the virtual explosion of worldwide anti-Semitism after October 7, 2023 was significantly similar to...yes, political campaigns, in which those who run them are primarily concerned with (1) Volunteers, (2) Leadership, (3) Messaging, (4) Money, (5) Advertising, and (6) Social Media. The campaign against Israel, Mr. Kinsella said, was...

Less than a week after 2 Jews were assaulted in San Jose, graffiti calling for the eradication of a "minimum" of 5 million Jews was left on a wall at SJSU. Israel National News. Published: Mar 15, 2026, 9:38 AM (GMT+2) Graffiti calling to "kill all Jews" and to "make Osama proud" was found at San Jose State University last week, ABC News 7 reported. The antisemitic graffiti included statements that March 11 would be like September 11 and that the "goal" is the death of "5 million Jews, minimum." The hateful message also included two Stars of David that...

Ted Cruz calls ‘Christ is King’ an anti-Semitic ‘code word’I agree with the statement 'Christ is King,' although it is being used online in a way that is meant to say, 'Screw you Jews,'' Cruz claimed.U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has joined in the chorus of voices who maintain that the phrase “Christ is King” is anti-Semitic.In a sit-down interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network this week, Cruz argued that those who use the phrase intend it to be an insult to Jewish people.“I’m really troubled by how the phrase ‘Christ is King’ is being used,” Cruz said. “I agree with...

“there is a corner of the internet of people that want to point and blame the Jews for all their problems. Everybody, this is demonic and it's from the pit of hell and it should not be tolerated. Period.” - Charlie Kirk

These are terrorists in America. They need to be deported.

Muslim suspect who shot Jewish man in Chicago planned attack on synagogue. Authorities say data from Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi’s phone reveals antisemitic motives, including synagogue locations marked days before attack, searches for 'Jewish community center' and 'gun store' and over 100 antisemitic and pro-Hamas images and videos. Itamar Eichner|11.24.24. A Muslim man accused of shooting a Jewish man and firing at police officers in Chicago last month had researched the locations of synagogues and Jewish schools in the days leading up to the attack, prosecutors said during a detention hearing Friday. Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, an undocumented immigrant from Mauritania,...

Nurturing an ancient, visceral, ugly emotion. Antisemitism is a deep-seated hatred of Jews. Facts don’t stand a chance against this ancient, visceral emotion. The attack against Jews in front of a synagogue in Los Angeles has been well-documented. I always stand in amazement how much Jew-haters need to justify their actions instead of just saying that they hate Jews and want to kill them. A few days after the melee, I heard the most disingenuous explanation as to why the pro-Hamas crowd attacked Jews in the City of Angels. There was a seminar at the Adas Torah synagogue on how...

A former Riverside resident has agreed to plead guilty to federal hate crime and gun charges stemming from the shooting of two Jewish men leaving synagogues last year.

Democrats are in full hand-wringing mode over the anti-Israel protests on campus. The louder the protesters scream about "Free Palestine," the more nervous the Democrats become. They know that there aren't many potential Donald Trump voters yelling antisemitic epithets at Jewish students from "Gaza Liberation Zones." These were Joe Biden voters in 2020 and may yet be again. In fact, as close a race as the 2024 presidential race is going to be. Biden is going to need these antisemites to win. As much as Democrats want to sympathize with the pro-Hamas protesters, they know they have to walk a...

Jewish man TASERED by crazed female Palestine activist at UCLA. The Jewish man was assaulted and hit on the head by the woman wearing a mask and headscarf before she pulled out a taser.
