MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — DAZN boxing reporter and pro-Israel activist Emily Austin told Breitbart News at the Republican National Convention that President Donald Trump will protect Jews — while President Joe Biden “can’t.” Austin, who boasts 2.3 million Instagram followers, is often seen ringside at boxing matches — but has also become widely known in the political world since “coming out” as a conservative and as a staunch defender of Israel. She is at the convention as part of a group of conservative content creators enlisted to promote the conservative message to “Gen Z” and youth audiences. She is passionate about...

The assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, PA, led to a surge in antisemitic conspiracy theories and calls for violent retaliation, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). On July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, PA. The attack, which resulted in one death and three injuries, including Trump himself, ignited a flurry of antisemitic conspiracy theories and calls for violent retaliation online, according to the ADL blog. Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, PA, was identified as the...

Nearly half of Jewish voters have felt at risk because of their religious identity while living in the Empire State — while more than a third said that New York is no longer a safe haven for their people, a shocking new poll reveals. The survey conducted for the pro-Israel New York Solidarity Network found that 44% of the 1,200 Jewish voters in New York City and other counties queried said they have felt unsafe, as did 67% of identifiable Orthodox Jews. More than a third — 35% — said they agreed with the statement: “New York is no longer...

(JTA) — SYDNEY — The shaming of hundreds of Australian Jewish creatives played out very much in public, with names and photos and threats, at least one targeting a child. Now, months later, it lingers in silences — friends unfollowed, musicians quieted, colleagues ducked.In February, a number of prominent Jews who had expressed anguish over Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre had their personal information outed by pro-Palestinian activists in a doxxing incident that stunned the country. The “Zio600” list was meant to isolate “Zionists,” ostensibly in retribution for threats to the careers of Israel’s critics.The subsequent harassment and isolation of those...

French Jews fear they may have “no future” in the country after the far-left’s victories in the parliamentary elections over the weekend.As Breitbart News reported, French President Emmanuel Macron’s alliance with the New Popular Front delivered a victory over the Marine Le Penn’s populist right, which has sparked concerns about rising antisemitism.Moshe Sebbag, a rabbi for the Synagogue de la Victoire, told the Times of Israel that “it seems France has no future for Jews” while advising young Jews in the country to leave for Israel.“But people my age, who are 50, 60, we’ve made our life here and we...

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...

Hamas hates a lot more than just Jews in Israel. In an interview with Israel Hayom, Professor Michael Wolffsohn of the Federal Army University in Munich stated: "Hamas is not just a terror army, but also an organization that holds a modern ideology for the extermination of Jews." Wolffsohn is one of the world’s leading researchers on the analysis of German-Israeli relations. According to Wolffsohn, students in Europe and the U.S. who express solidarity with Hamas: “are actually expressing solidarity with the ‘values’ of the Nazi Einsatzgruppen, ”who were the spearhead of the German masterplan for the extermination of the...

When Fatima Payman crossed the Senate floor to vote against her government she knew it would come with consequences. The Australian Labor party has strict penalties for those who undermine its collective positions, and acts of defiance can lead to expulsion - a precedent with a 130-year history. The last time one of its politicians tested the waters while in power was before Ms Payman was born. But last Tuesday, the 29-year-old did just that - joining the Green party and independent senators to support a motion on Palestinian statehood. Officially the Australian government supports a two-state solution, but did...

In a June 21, 2024 Friday sermon at Lafayette, Louisiana, the imam said in his supplication: "Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews and the Chris… Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews and their helpers. […] kill them one by one and do not spare a single one of them." The sermon was streamed live on the Facebook page of the Islamic Center of Lafayette, which gave no indication as to the identity of the imam. However, online research suggests that the imam was Mohamad El-Saleh, whom according to news reports, represented the Islamic Center at a November 7, 2023 interfaith prayer for...

In a sparsely reported story, pro-Hamas thugs have launched an organized attack on Jews in the Pico-Robertson area of Los Angeles, just outside Beverly Hills, hunting Jewish residents down where they live, beating many, and preventing them from entering their own synagogue for religious observances. According to City News Service, whose story was just seven paragraphs long: “ Scattered violence and fist fights broke out Sunday between Palestinian supporters and supporters of Israel in the Pico-Robertson area of Los Angeles, where police in riot gear attempted to restore order. The trouble began at 10:52 a.m. in the 9000 block of...

When Rikki Baker Keusch, a disabled New York-based Jewish community organizer, saw that Hochul was seriously thinking about a mask ban, they were livid. Taking Covid precautions has also become the norm in the Jewish community they are a part of in New York City. “We required everyone to test [for Covid] before Seder,” said Baker Keusch, who wears masks to protect themselves from infectious diseases during pro-Palestinian protests. Getting Covid again while at a demonstration would set back “all of the health progress I’ve barely been able to make since my last Covid infection,” Baker Keusch said. People are...

Commenters on the twisted Haaretz stating IDF doesn't rape Arab women because of racism." (Just like the usual fake racism terminology by Haaretz - while justifying routinely racist Arab attacks - Haaretzism).(Translated from now14): There is a competition on the left who can say the most delusional statement. They have an iron dome of the media. _ There should be a demonstration in Kaplan [i.e. the center for leftists protesters] for the underprivileged Muslims, with huge signs that will read "We demand pluralistic equality, kidnapping, abuse and rape without discrimination"!!! _ Naama Riba says that whoever is not a racist...

Antisemitism task force reveals multiple antisemitic incidents at Columbia University, targeting of Jewish students following October 7 massacre. A professor at Columbia University told students to avoid mainstream media sources because “it is owned by Jews," according to a task force investigating antisemitism on the Columbia campus. Haaretz reported that this was one of several displays of antisemitism on the part of Columbia professors. Task force members told the paper that in another incident, a professor singled out a student with a Jewish-sounding name while reading the names of the students in the course and demanded that the student justify...

Anti-Semitism on the right and the left threatens to bring to a close an unprecedented period of safety and prosperity for Jewish Americans—and demolish the liberal order they helped establish. Stacey Zolt Hara was in her office in downtown San Francisco when a text from her 16-year-old daughter arrived: “I’m scared,” she wrote. Her classmates at Berkeley High School were preparing to leave their desks and file into the halls, part of a planned “walkout” to protest Israel. Like many Jewish students, she didn’t want to participate. It was October 18, 11 days after the Hamas invasion of southern Israel....

A Missouri circuit judge has ruled against several clergy members who argued that the state's abortion laws infringe on the Missouri Constitution's Establishment Clause. The lawsuit, led by a diverse group of faith leaders, was met with a dismissal. The challenge, initiated in January 2023 by representatives from Christian, Jewish and Unitarian congregations, was spearheaded by advocacy groups, including Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the National Women's Law Center. They sought an injunction to halt Missouri's abortion laws, which lack exceptions even in cases of rape or incest, arguing these laws violate constitutional provisions against the...

Many Jews have been so ideologically captured by the left that they compulsively identify with and feel endless sympathy for the people in Gaza and the West Bank, most of whom are open in their desire for mass Jewish slaughter, the more sadistic, the better. The latest example of this madness is the upcoming San Francisco Jewish Film Festival (“SFJFF”), which is making itself a showcase for pro-Gaza and anti-Israel grievance films. The SFJFF has long (always?) leaned left. That’s because the Jewish Film Institution, which sponsors it, is a left-leaning organization. That comes through loud and clear in the...

Vandals spattered the Jewish director of the Brooklyn Museum’s home with blood-red paint, hung a banner vilifying her as a “White-Supremacist Zionist” and also daubed an red inverted triangle on her windows. That triangle inspired perhaps the most anxiety after the Tuesday night incident, which Mayor Eric Adams and others are calling an antisemitic hate crime. “The mob painted an inverted red triangle on the door — the symbol used by terrorists to mark targets they want to take out,” tweeted a Jewish woman on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter. Horrifying vandalism and threats targeting the @brooklynmuseum...

Having laid relatively low in recent weeks, America's pro-terrorism contingent is back with a vengeance -- seemingly energized in opposition to Israel's successful hostage rescue mission over the weekend. Perhaps that timing is a coincidence, but I doubt it. The Hamas mob's political allies and apologists often insist that it's unfair to frame their words, chants and actions as pro-Jew-murder, or even as expressions of anti-Semitism. Well, let's check in on what just happened in New York City, where Hamas supporters protested an exhibit dedicated to the victims of the Nova music festival, where terrorists from Gaza slaughtered hundreds of...

For much of modern history in both Europe and North America, Jews have been reliably left of center politically, backing Democrats in the United States, Labour in Britain, Canada’s Liberals, and France’s Socialists. In recent years, though, Jews are moving toward the center, and, somewhat tentatively, even the right. The shift reflects Jews’ revulsion at the increasing popularity of anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic positions in most left-of-center parties. For the roughly 80 percent of Jews who back Israel’s war aims in Gaza, remaining reliably progressive will be hard. In Great Britain, a 2019 study showed Jews shifting substantially away from their...

It is time for Jews to avoid visiting or traveling to the City of New York if they aren’t from the area. Do not visit -- and those who must should do so with absolute caution. Jews in NYC are scared and intimidated and do not feel safe. Consider this a travel warning for Jews to avoid New York City. Jews are beaten and intimidated daily in New York City with impunity. Jews change their names on ride-share apps, so they won’t be recognized as Jews, many have taken down their mezuzahs and hide Stars of David as Mayor Eric...
