A group of antisemitic UCLA students beat their Jewish classmates unconscious, attacked them with sticks and pepper spray and created Jewish exclusion zones — all while the school did nothing to stop it — according to a new lawsuit against the University of California. The school allowed for vile antisemitic attacks on Jewish students on the campus following the Hamas attacks on October 7, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division said in the suit, obtained by The California Post. “Antisemitic hatred against UCLA’s Jewish and Israeli students reached a point where students were physically assaulted, injured, excluded from campus,...

The so-called 'divider' and 'racist' has both Jewish and Arab grandchildren and he's spending his presidency stitching together the geopolitical map...When the media screams “racist,” I look at Trump’s family and laugh. One daughter married a Jew. Another married an Arab. And he embraces both families without hesitation. That alone blows a crater in the cartoon they keep selling: “the snarling bigot terrified of foreigners.” Ivanka did not just marry a Jew; she became one: orthodox conversion, Shabbat candles, a fully Jewish home... Tiffany married Michael Boulos, a Lebanese Arab from a prominent Greek Orthodox family with deep Middle Eastern...

The Hungarian filmmaker details the struggle to secure distribution for Jewish stories and a "puritan, moralising, self-righteousness" looming over Hollywood ahead of the Cannes premiere of 'Moulin.'Legendary Hungarian filmmaker László Nemes has spoken plainly about “an orgy of antisemitism overtaking the West.” In a new interview with The Guardian published on Monday, the acclaimed director discusses bringing his latest World War II venture — a biopic on the French resistance hero Jean Moulin — to the Cannes Film Festival, but much of the piece centers on what Nemes describes as a “puritan, moralising, self-righteousness” looming over Hollywood. Nemes, who won...

The adult son of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) launched a vile antisemitic and homophobic tirade at Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) at a DC bar Tuesday night, saying at one point that the Iran war was “about the gays and the Jews, and I hate them both, and I don’t care if they die.” In a phone conversation recounting the evening, Lawler told The Post that he was sitting at a popular DC bar with a friend and a reporter for NOTUS, which first revealed the incident involving William Paul. “So Rand Paul’s f—ing son is sitting next to us at...

A California judge has barred a Jewish district attorney from prosecuting a group of vandals who occupied the office of the president of Stanford University and spray-painted "death to Israel" on a wall at the university in 2024, the Jewish News of Northern California reported. On June 4, 2024, anti-Israel protesters occupied the president's office and caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. Twelve protesters faced federal charges following the incident. In his ruling, Judge Kelley Paul claimed that DA Jeff Rosen overstepped in calling the incident antisemitic when it was not charged as a hate crime. “This case...

A pro-Palestinian professor charged with killing a 69-year-old Jewish dad during an anti-Israel protest in southern California in 2023 will not stand trial after he plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter. The 54-year-old Moorpark resident Loay Abdel Fattah Alnaji pleaded guilty to felony involuntary manslaughter and felony battery causing serious bodily injury related to the death of Paul Kessler, the Ventura County District Attorney’s office said in a press release on Tuesday. Alnaji-who teaches computer science at Moorpark College-and Kessler were both protesting the Israel-Hamas war during dueling pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel demonstrations in Thousand Oaks in 2023 when Alnaji struck the...

Vandals scrawled swastikas and Hitler graffiti on multiple homes and Jewish religious sites across Queens in an antisemitic spree on Monday – including a synagogue started by refugees fleeing the Holocaust. At least four people spray painted swastikas in red and black on the sides of at least five locations across the world’s borough, according to City Council Speaker’s Office and law enforcement sources. The rabbi for Congregation Machane Chodosh in Forest Hills, which was hit by the hateful graffiti, called it “very upsetting” and noted the synagogue was actually formed by German-Jewish refugees who reached the Big Apple to...

Sunday night’s episode of The Weekend: Primetime on MS NOW launched a predictable attack on Nebraska’s new Medicaid work requirements. Equally predictable was the "expert" MS NOW chose: NYU professor Sherry Glied — a former top Obama HHS official deeply involved in rolling out Obamacare. Glied spent most of the segment warning about coverage losses and hardship. Only toward the end did Glied let the liberal cat out of the bag: “It’s not a great idea, in my opinion, to have work requirements for anything.”Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

- What no one so far has talked about is that Chernobyl and that entire region - was once home to the important Chernobyl Hasidic community, and by 1897, its Jewish population reached 5,526 representing 59 per cent of the city...By 1939, 1,783 Jews lived in Chernobyl, one in every five residents of the town. The German army occupied the city on Aug. 25, 1941. On Nov. 7, 1941, almost half of Chernobyl’s Jews were shot. The rest were killed by the end of 1942. That history is practically absent from today’s memory... Today, the explosion of the nuclear plant...

Rep. Eric Swalwell denied allegations of rape and sexual assault in a social media post that was filmed Friday at the Beverly Hills mansion of his eccentric billionaire benefactor, The Post has learned. Multiple sources confirmed that the video Swalwell recorded of his full-throated denial was taken from a room inside the 9,700-square-foot home of Stephen Cloobeck, who’s also been shacking up with an alleged honeytrapper accused of burglarizing the home of rich, older men in Los Angeles. “A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations, and I thought it was important that you see and hear...

The American Jewish Committee wrote in a post on X/Twitter that while it “shares the objectives” of Trump’s war with Iran, it was “alarmed” by the president’s social media posts, adding that the Iranian people “deserve a future defined by dignity, opportunity, and greater integration with the global community.” Amy Spitalnick, the CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, condemned the president’s remarks, saying in a statement that there were “simply no words to describe the danger of a US president openly threatening to erase an entire civilization.” She alluded to Jews’ history of facing genocidal leaders in her...

Why They Lie About ‘Jewish Terrorists’. From the West Bank to New York City, anything to distract from the obvious and looming threat of Muslim violence. By Liel Leibovitz. March 29, 2026 Jewish extremist terrorism is out of control. “A man linked to pro-Israel terrorist group” was charged “in a plot to assassinate” pro-Hamas activist Nerdeen Kiswani, The New York Times reported on Friday. Mayor Zohran Mamdani was "outraged" by the news. In a post on X, Mamdani placed the alleged plot in context of “an alarming rise in threats and violence across the country targeting Palestinian human rights advocates.”...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, created artwork for an essay book compiled by an anti-Israel activist who has described Jewish people as “vampires,” “demons” and “ghouls” – and celebrated the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel.

Abulhawa is a staunch critic of Israel and has been criticized by the Anti-Defamation...

The incoming Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, recently told The Times, "Jesus was a black man". Jesus came for everyone, and it’s understandable that different cultures should want to present him in their own image. Here in the UK, for example, Jesus has typically been depicted as a white Westerner. But such unhelpful representations often ignore the fact that Jesus is Jewish. He came “to his own” (John 1:11) as the long-promised Jewish Messiah, and will return to Jerusalem as a Jew, specifically, “the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David”. (Revelation 5:5) As the Brighton-based author...
