The unsanctioned student group Columbia University Apartheid Divest is circulating flyers for the event — set for Monday on the Ivy League school’s main Morningside Heights campus. “Veterans Day is an American holiday to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of veterans.

Today is a day of mourning for Israel and for every civilized living human. One year ago, the genocidal butchers of Hamas invaded the Jewish state. On the orders of Ismail Haniyeh, now blessedly burning in Hell, and with the backing and permission of Iran, paramilitary crews of terrorists surged over the border under cover of darkness and began to kill. They did not target soldiers or military facilities. No, they shot, stabbed,...

Then by Haj Amin al-Husseini in the 1920s. The Mufti also chose to “believe” in ancient blood libel. * The brunt of the victims in brutality, with genocidal cries "adbakh al yahud", 1920, 1921 and especially in Hebron 1929 massacre, were non-Zionist pious-Jews - the murders...

President Joe Biden has been dogged for months by pro-Palestinian protesters calling him “Genocide Joe” — but some of the groups behind the demonstrations receive financial backing from philanthropists pushing hard for his reelection. The donors include some of the biggest names in Democratic circles: Soros, Rockefeller and Pritzker, according to a POLITICO analysis.

Both are supported by the Tides Foundation, which is seeded by Democratic megadonor George Soros and was previously supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates...
