Imagine for a nanosecond the histrionic reaction, if a pro-Palestinian activist, decked out in pro-Hamas gear or wrapped in a Palestinian flag, were arrested for peacefully standing too close to a Jewish temple. Oh, the humanity! From congressional Democrats to the lapdogs of the left-wing media, the uproar would be deafening — not to mention the oodles of vile, antisemitic posts on social media. Yet, in no-longer-jolly old England, a Jewish lawyer was recently arrested for allegedly "antagonizing" a group of pro-Palestinian protesters. The lawyer's crime? He was wearing a Star of David necklace. That, gang, was an actual slap...

It’s close, but Muslims in New York may now outnumber Jews. It’s a demographic race with political implications. Analysts trying to understand why Canada, Britain, and France are moving to recognize a Palestinian state have pointed to demographic shifts and growing Muslim populations in those countries. The Canadian government reported this year that “the proportion of Canada’s population who reported being Muslim has more than doubled in 20 years,” to “4.9% (1,775,715 people) in 2021” from “2.0% (579,640 people) in 2001.” In Britain, the census reported that the Muslim population in England and Wales had soared to “3.9 million, 6.5%...

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said there is no room for pro-Israel voters within his coalition, arguing that fellow Democrats should not make "an exception" for people who are "progressive except Palestine." The Democratic nominee said his long history of anti-Israel activism—which includes founding the Bowdoin College chapter of the extremist and terror-aligned Students for Justice in Palestine organization—informs his belief that pro-Israel liberals should be driven out of the left.

Unveiling the Bias: How Israel's Systems Favor Arabs Over JewsThe provided sources argue that Israel’s legal, social, and administrative systems exhibit preferential treatment toward Arabs over Jews, particularly in religious freedom, construction, land allocation, legal enforcement, and access to resources.1. Religious Freedom and Access to Holy SitesIn a Jewish state, Jews face unjust restrictions on accessing and praying at the Temple Mount, their holiest site, due to court rulings prioritizing Arab sensitivities over Jewish religious rights (Weber, 2006; Weiss, 2023). Weber notes that the Supreme Court, under Aharon Barak, limited Jewish access to avoid Arab unrest, undermining the fundamental right...

Hananya Naftali @HananyaNaftali: BREAKING: Gazans celebrate "peace deal" by chanting “Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yehud”, a call for the slaughter of Jews.

An Islamist terrorist who killed two men outside a synagogue came to the UK from Syria as a young child and grew up just around the corner from the site of the attack. Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, who was shot dead minutes after he targeted Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester yesterday, is understood to have been granted British citizenship in 2006 when he was a teenager, aged around 16. His innocent victims have been named as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66. They were both members of Manchester's Jewish community.

Jews across the UK have been urged to lock their doors and not to congregate in groups as police patrols are stepped up outside synagogues and in areas with large Jewish populations after the Manchester attack. Sir Keir Starmer told the Jewish community that he would do “everything in my power to guarantee you the security you deserve” as he announced additional police officers and assets would be deployed to all Jewish communities. Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, said that she would “do whatever is required” to keep the Jewish community safe as she visited the site of the attack...

Jewish security teams and armed police have been called in to protect synagogues across the UK after four people were stabbed outside a synagogue in Manchester. At least two people have died after a knifeman 'armed with a bomb' rammed a car into the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue at 9.31am today and went on a rampage. The bloody assault, which took place on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, has been declared a 'Plato' incident - the national code-word used by police and emergency services when responding to a 'marauding terror attack'.

On September 17, 2025 the Gateway Pundit reported on President Trump on Wednesday evening announcing the designation of Antifa as a “major terrorist organization.” I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter! The ADL is now in hot water too after President Trump designated Antifa a “major terrorist organization.” The ADL has been...

A prominent German orchestra’s performance at a Belgian festival has been canceled over concerns about its Israeli conductor, organizers said Wednesday, sparking a furious reaction from Berlin. The Munich Philharmonic had been due to perform on September 18 at the Flanders Festival Ghent, led by its future chief conductor, Israeli musician Lahav Shani.

The arabists keep claiming that Arab "Palestine" massacres on Jews are a "response" to something - supposedly. Nevermind that racist Arab Palestine began massacring Jews [especially since] April 1920 [Nebi Musa riots], there were cries of "we will drink the blood of the Jews," and "Muhamme's religion was born with the sword." Actually, the genocidal call/aim of "adbakh al yahud," was invented in the 1920s by Haj Amin al Husseini, their leader, over a decade before he rushed to beg Nazis for alliance. Why target religious ultra Orthodox Talmudic Jews, conscientious objectors in their neighborhoods who even refuse to serve...

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that the Trump Administration violated the law when it blocked Harvard University from $2 billion in federal grants because of the school’s handling of antisemitism on campus. US District Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, said Trump violated Harvard’s First Amendment rights when it froze $ 2 billion in federal grants earlier this year. Judge Burroughs said the Trump Administration used antisemitism on Harvard’s campus as a “smokescreen for targeted, ideologically-motivated assault” on the country’s premier university.

Former Gaza hostage Ilana Gritzewsky recalled in a Wednesday UN Security Council meeting that during her captivity, when she was moved locations, she was forced to walk hand in hand with a terrorist as if she were his wife, so nobody would notice she was a hostage. “They grabbed me by the hair, hit me in the stomach, causing me to lose my breath. They dragged me across the floor, lifted me, and threw me against the wall. They pointed guns at me, hit me, and tried to film me with my phone. "I raised my hands, told them I...

Ruth Messinger, the trailblazing Jewish political leader who in 1997 became the first and only woman to win the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor, endorsed Zohran Mamdani on Monday. Her support came as the Democratic nominee launched his citywide “Five Boroughs Against Trump” tour in Manhattan, joined by Assemblyman Harvey Epstein and Rep. Jerry Nadler, co-chair of the Congressional Jewish Caucus, who had endorsed Mamdani after his primary victory.

Most of us probably know the story of Abraham and Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian maidservant. She became Abraham’s second wife and bore his first son, Ishmael. Conflict and jealousy arose within the family, which led to Ishmael’s banishment, not only from Abraham’s household but also from his father’s inheritance. And yet, the Lord said, “And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation” (Genesis 17:20, NKJV). Ishmael’s prodigy was not the recipient of the...

The Guardian reports that archaeologists excavating at the ancient Roman settlement of Castulo in southern Spain have identified the traces of a building they believe may have once been a synagogue. Near the location of what scholars had once assumed was a fourth- or fifth-century a.d. Christian basilica, the team found fragments of three oil lamps and a roof tile bearing depictions of menorahs, as well as a jar lid inscribed with Hebrew characters. When the researchers reconsidered the identification of the nearby structure as a place of early Christian worship, they found that many features of the building matched...
