"The biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis": Jewish celebrities urge TikTok to address antisemitism as hateful content on the rise since 7 October. A group of Jewish celebrities and influencers have met with execs of the video app TikTok to voice their concerns. More than 30 people joined the 90-minute video call, including actors Sacha Baron Cohen, Debra Messing and Amy Schumer, at the invitation of TikTok. The group is alarmed by an apparent surge of antisemitic content and misinformation on app, following the 7 October Hamas attack. The meeting was first reported by the New York Times. “What is...

For years, I’ve denounced the proliferation of Nazi analogies in our public discourse. From right to left, reckless politicians and overheated pundits have invoked Hitler, the Nazis or the Holocaust in order to score rhetorical points — and historians like me have condemned them for doing so. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was wrong to call US border facilities “concentration camps,” and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was equally off base when she labeled advocates of Covid vaccines “medical brown shirts,” which references Nazi storm-trooper uniforms. Abortion is not another Holocaust. The reason such comparisons are wrong is that they severely distort the...

By many measures, it was a feeble showing. Seven or so members from White Lives Matter’s California chapter hid their faces and displayed their antisemitism through signs reading “No More Wars for I$rael” and promoting 2017’s Hitler-deifying fauxumentary “Europa: The Last Battle” from a bridge in Walnut Creek.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was briefly interrupted today by a man who approached her on stage, after she invited a Palestinian and an Afghan woman to speak at a climate protest in Amsterdam. Ms Thunberg was talking to a crowd of tens of thousands when she asked the women to join her on the stage. 'As a climate justice movement, we have to listen to the voices of those who are being oppressed and those who are fighting for freedom and for justice. Otherwise, there can be no climate justice without international solidarity,' she said. After the Palestinian and Afghan...

Attendees at the Oct. 4 ‘Free Palestine’ march were more focused on repeating anti-Israel slogans than helping liberate Gazans from Hamas.It usually takes 10 minutes, 15 at most, to get downtown from southeast D.C. On Saturday, it took over an hour. Traffic was at a standstill, and the metro was overflowing as protesters descended upon the nation’s capital to attend the People’s Forum “Free Palestine” march.The largest “pro-Palestine” protest in American history was centralized at Freedom Plaza — just a block away from the White House — but spilled into the surrounding areas as thousands of protesters splintered off into...

Over the last few weeks, everyone (unfortunately) has become all too familiar with the Twitter account @StopAntisemites. Unfortunate simply because this account has been extremely busy, showing the world of all the antisemitism that has come out into the open after the Hamas terror attack on Israel. On Oct. 29 and 30, @StopAntisemites highlighted Kayla Goodwin, who recorded a video saying that she would not now nor would she ever condemn Hamas. @StopAntisemites then showed everyone some details about Goodwin, including a GoFundMe she started in 2022. Enter Twitchy favorite Ian McKelvey, who is known for deep-dive threads on topics...

The defendant in a Jan. 6. 2021 Capitol Hill protests-related case denied a claim by federal prosecutors that a boyfriend was jailed for plotting to shoot up a synagogue. Riley Williams’ filing Thursday came in response to one last week by federal prosecutors objecting to her request to loosen restrictions pending her trial. She is wearing an ankle monitor and is under house arrest at her mother’s home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Prosecutors in that filing noted that Williams had lied last August about meeting a boyfriend; Williams was required to report all her meetings, and she had told people, including...

Colombian right-wing and centrist candidates obtained sweeping victories in Sunday’s regional elections, dealing a huge blow to the leftist government coalition led by President Gustavo Petro, the nation’s first leftist president. The Colombian electorate headed to the polls on Sunday to elect 32 governors, 1,102 mayors, and more than 19,000 other regional legislatures and public office positions nationwide, featuring over 125,000 candidates on the ballot. The voter turnout rate in Colombia was tallied at 59.08 percent, meaning 22.98 million of Colombia’s 38.9 million voters participated in the election.

Hundreds storm the Makhachkala Airport in Russia, reportedly searching for Jews who arrived on a plane from Israel.

Albert Speer’s famous defense at the Nuremberg trials oddly concluded with a warning about the potential destructive powers of science and technology. He strongly pointed out that such a technology could easily be used to dominate people – as was the often the case in the Third Reich, especially with regard to the spread of propaganda. Speer even spoke of intercontinental super rockets that could now rain down atomic fire upon cities without warning. He went on to say that “science will be able to spread pestilence among humans and animals,” and that “chemistry will be capable of inflicting unspeakable...

Investigators found odd, little pills buried in the pockets of Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel on Oct. 7. They were later identified as the drug Captagon, a powerful, synthetic stimulant. Captagon gained international notoriety in 2015 when it was discovered to be used by ISIS fighters to suppress fear and fatigue prior to carrying out terrorist operations. Now, because it’s cheap, as well as easy to make and smuggle, Captagon and its counterfeits are likely to remain a favorite tool of extremist militant groups to enhance their soldiers’ violent tendencies. Some reports have even labeled Captagon as “the jihadists’ drug,”...

A New York Times reporter who came under fire last year for a praising Adolf Hitler in multiple resurfaced Facebook posts was rehired by the Gray Lady to cover the Israel-Palestine war. Palestinian filmmaker Soliman Hijjy hailed the Nazi leader as recently as 2018 in a post on Facebook, when he shared a photo of himself captioned that he was “in a state of harmony as Hitler was during the Holocaust,” per a translation from Arabic by pro-Israel media watchdog site HonestReporting. That same year, Hijjy was hired by the Times as a freelance journalist and worked on a slew...

Democratic New York Rep. Dan Goldman refused to explicitly condemn Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s refusal to speak out forcefully against Hamas’ terrorists attacks. Fox’s Hillary Vaughn confronted Tlaib over reports Hamas terrorists were chopping off Israeli babies’ heads and burning children alive. Tlaib refused to comment despite several opportunities. Tlaib also put out a statement saying she grieves “the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day.” “As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue,” Tlaib wrote. Fox & Friends’ Lawrence Jones asked Goldman...

The Manhattan D.A. recently issued a criminal seizure warrant for ‘Girl With Black Hair’ in the possession of Oberlin College’s Allen Museum. Court records in a civil case reveal that the college has been fighting at least since 2006 against return of the drawing. This is in contrast to the college’s repatriation of an item of Native American craft returned to the Nez Perce tribe in 2002. Are items stolen from Jews during the Holocaust less worthy of return than items obtained from Native American tribes? ... Oberlin College was in the news recently after a drawing, Girl With Black...

The trip to Canada by Ukrainian President Zelensky was meant to divert from his lackluster United Nations and US Congress appearances, and give Kiev some semblance of a victorious Foreign Relations moment.To do that, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had his guest come to a special Parliament session, in which ‘he was interrupted by standing ovations seven times’ – as the MSM lore goes.However, Zelensky and Trudeau have unwittingly detonated a PR bomb that is hurting both of their reputations, and exposed the horrible reality of the Nazi ties of the Ukrainian ‘banderite’ regime.The unforced error was to bring 98-year-old Ukrainian...

(AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced several support measures for Ukraine, including military, economic and humanitarian assistance, while also pledging an additional show of diplomatic backing through steps intended to punish Russia over the war. “We’re continuing to impose costs on Russia and ensuring that those responsible for this illegal, unjustifiable invasion do not benefit from it,” Trudeau said Friday during a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ottawa, the Canadian capital.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is eyeing a change to the United States Constitution. The state's legislature on Thursday approved a resolution in support of Newsom's call for a 28th Constitutional amendment, according to the Los Angeles Times. The amendment would enshrine a list of Democratic gun-control policy priorities into federal law. California is requesting a Constitutional convention to enshrine the amendment. For the amendment to be considered, two-thirds of state legislatures would have to vote in favor of a convention, according to the Times. The proposed "Right to Safety Amendment" would limit legal gun ownership to adults 21 and older,...

So-called Nazis were on the march near Orlando, FL on Saturday when a group of costumed men going by the name of “Blood Tribe” turned out to seek attention in a demonstration that conveniently feeds into the Biden regime’s claims that “white supremacy” is the most dangerous threat to America today. Coming a week after a “racially motivated” incident at a Jacksonville-area Dollar General store that saw three black people gunned down in cold blood by a disturbed young man who left behind a racist manifesto, the gaggle of demonstrators who are dressed in remarkably similar garb to the Patriot...

The “Nazis” were marching in Florida on Saturday. They had a large following for their rally with every member in new red shirts and face masks. Most of the protesters hid their faces. But a couple of tattooed Nazis left their masks in the car. Who’s this guy? He appears to be one of the only “Nazis” who will show his face. And who is the tattooed guy behind him? He shouldn’t be too hard to identify. These guys are actors. Straight out of central casting. pic.twitter.com/EVjq8MF0IV — Eric Matheny 🎙️ (@ericmmatheny) September 3, 2023 The feds REALLY wanted to...
