New York University has recently made headlines by suspending nearly a dozen students for engaging in protests. The suspensions are linked to students demanding divestment from Israel.

The demonstration was organized by the Within Our Lifetime organization. The protesters called on Israel to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a hospital director in Gaza who was detained by the IDF over links to the Hamas terrorist organization.

A professor of medicine has claimed that, through scientific progress, humans will soon be able to reverse the effects of death, the Telegraph reported . Sam Parnia, an associate professor of medicine at New York University’s Langone Medical Center, told the publication that what we collectively believe about death today—that it is a final end to life—is “fundamentally wrong.” According to Parnia, death is a “reversible state.” People only believe that death is irreversible because they have been conditioned to think so, and to stifle scientific progress, he claimed. “People used to think you could never go beyond the boundaries...

‘We expected Hamas to kill Jews. We didn’t expect Americans to celebrate it.’Someone asked me the other day how I planned to commemorate October 7. I found myself speechless, befuddled by the question. How do you offer an elegy when the war is not yet over—and 101 hostages, those still alive and the bodies of the murdered, are not yet home? How do you remember a catastrophe when it is still unfolding? How do you mark a past event that feels as though it was a prelude to a much deeper darkness, whose dimensions we are still discovering? How do...

Former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, Barron Trump, was spotted arriving at New York University Wednesday to kick off his first day of college life. The towering 18-year-old was flanked by Secret Service agents as he stepped onto the downtown Manhattan campus with a black Swiss Gear backpack casually slung over his shoulder. Dressed in a white polo, black pants and Adidas Gazelle sneakers, Barron’s first stop was the dean’s office before being whisked off to classes, sources told The Post. It wasn’t immediately clear what classes the teen plans to take while at NYU, where tuition starts from roughly...

New York University condemned an anti-Israel group on campus that seemed to promote violent “armed struggle” as an appropriate means to support its mission. The NYU People’s Solidarity Coalition (PSC), which was formerly known as the Palestine Solidarity Coalition, posted to Instagram on July 22, stating its commitment to “embrace a diversity of tactics” and to the “de-normalization of settler-colonial entities.” The group also posted a document–which it appears to have since removed–which seemed to condone the use of violent “armed struggle.” NYU condemned the PSC’s rhetoric on Thursday, writing: “NYU condemns the recent posting by the group calling itself...

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines in favor of President Donald Trump Monday morning, ruling that presidents are immune from criminal liability involving official acts during their tenure. The case, Trump v United States, arose from narcissistic Special Counsel Jack Smith’s corrupt indictment against Trump, who is falsely accusing the 45th President of conspiring to throw out the 2020 presidential election results. The garbage charges Smith has levied include spreading “claims” of election fraud and “attempting to obstruct the certification of the election results.” Trump’s lawyers correctly countered that these actions were within...

Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) April 24, 2024Just as many have suspected, not all of those impassioned student protesters know what they are protesting.

A young woman was filmed at a New York University anti-Israel protest over the weekend praising North Korea’s support for Palestinians and their “shared struggle” against oppressors — with the “deranged” and “deluded” viral clip sparking fierce backlash online. The footage, which was shared on X by the @thestustustudio account and has already been viewed more than 2 million times — showed the unidentified woman giving an apparent “teach-in” Saturday about North Korea’s solidarity with Palestinians. “They have always upheld the right of Palestinian people to self determination and resistance and this is beyond moral and rhetorical support,” said the...

Officers from the New York Police Department went to two different universities on Friday morning to clear out anti-Israel agitators and break up demonstrations they held on campus. Officers first cleared an encampment at New York University, where they arrested several protesters and called cleaning crews to the area to remove tents and sweep away the trash left behind by the protesters. The NYPD was then called to take similar actions at The New School in New York. After the operations, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell spoke to reporters to confirm the NYPD took the actions "at the request...

‘This gift innovatively targets the intersection of two areas of pressing social concern, environmental harm and racial inequity,’ dean says. New York University law students will soon be able to learn how to fight for a “decarbonized future” and against “environmental racism.” The university announced a new Environmental Justice Laboratory will begin this fall. “This gift innovatively targets the intersection of two areas of pressing social concern, environmental harm and racial inequity,” Dean Troy McKenzie stated in a news release. “Environmental justice has been an emerging area of focus here at the Law School and across the country,” McKenzie stated....

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Professor of Marketing at NYU Stern School of Business Scott Galloway stated that there’s a “striking” “double standard” in the treatment of campus demonstrations over the past week and stated that if he did the same thing to black students, “we’d call in the f*cking National Guard.” And “what is clear to me is that free speech is at its freest when it’s hate speech against Jews.”

Things are getting out of hand in NY with campuses being taken over at places like NYU and Columbia by leftist extremists setting up encampments, like Occupy 2.0. Now a viral video has emerged that shows just how out of control it's getting. The video is from Monday night when the police descended on NYU and arrested dozens of students and even some of the professors after the students pelted the police with bottles and hit an officer with a chair. These were the folks that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed were "peaceful." READ MORE:Chaotic Scene As NYPD Descends Upon...
