An expulsion for Palestine is an honor, a sacrifice that pales in comparison to those of the Palestinian people,' Aidan Parisi wrote Thursday... Aidan Parisi, the son of a longtime State Department official who emerged last spring as a Columbia University encampment leader and is best known for owning an "emotional support rabbit," was among the students Columbia expelled for storming Hamilton Hall, he announced Thursday night. Parisi, a graduate student in Columbia’s School of Social Work, wrote on X that he was among the student activists expelled nearly a year after they stormed and occupied Hamilton Hall. Last spring,...

MIAMI — A man is facing charges following accusations that he opened fire on a vehicle in Miami Beach Saturday night after he saw two men in it who he thought were Palestinians, arrest documents said. Mordechai Brafman, 27, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder for the shooting. Around 9:30 p.m., surveillance video captured Brafman's truck traveling south on Pine Tree Drive and making a U-turn at 48th Street, where the victims' vehicle was stopped just north of 48th in the left lane. At that point, Brafman drove by and stopped directly in front of them...

UCLA administrators said last Wednesday that they would be suspending two Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) organizations after masked campus activists outside the home of UC Regent Jay Sures. They vandalized his property and surrounded his wife in her car as well. In a broad campus message, Chancellor Julio Frenk stated that the UCLA Office of Student Conduct implemented an interim suspension while internal judicial procedures over the groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine occurred. The conduct proceedings and suspensions are indefinite. These groups will no longer be able to apply for...

USAID in 2016 gave $310 million of your taxpayer money to a Palestinian cement factory. What did the Palestinians in Gaza use all that cement for, paid for by your taxpayer dollars? Any ideas? Oh yeah, that would be the 300 miles of terror tunnels that Hamas built underneath the Gaza Strip leading to the complete destruction of the Gaza Strip after October 7th. So, just slow clap for the geniuses in the permanent bureaucratic state.” - BEN SHAPIRO

A senior Hamas official vowed on Thursday that the terrorist organization would continue to govern the Gaza Strip until it comes to an agreement with the Palestinian Authority to manage the territory. Commenting on ongoing talks with the P.A. to the Associated Press in Cairo, Hamas “political” official Taher al-Nunu said the Islamist group agreed to an Egyptian proposal to relinquish control to a “community support committee,” as well as the possible creation of a “consensus government” that includes both Hamas and the P.A.’s Fatah faction. Al-Nunu claimed that P.A. chief Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah rejected both proposals. “Until one of...

**SNIP** Those busts included dozens of members of the vicious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua prison gang — as well as multiple MS-13 gang members — at least five “career criminals” nabbed by the Drug Enforcement Administration and scores of others wanted for murder, kidnapping, child molestation and more. ICE has shared daily “enforcement updates” on X since Jan. 23, outlining their daily arrest totals, as well as detainers lodged — formal requests for inmates to be held until they can be picked up by immigration officials. Through Tuesday, officials made 5,537 arrests and lodged 4,333 detainers, giving authorities a running...

Apparently nothing in the world can happen without it being about Palestinians. Climate change, Black Lives Matter, women’s rights, the Olympics, COVID-19, LGBTQ rights, Christmas and now the California fires. The disgusting responses from Palestinian activists across social media shows the true hateful agenda of the “free Palestine” cult. Enough.

Ludmila Lipovsky survived the Nazi Holocaust, only to fall victim to a Palestinian terrorist. Muslims and Nazis were allied during WWII, and Islamic jihadis continue to try and launch a second Holocaust against Israelis and all Jews. ... Muslim Arabs were enthusiastically in favor of killing Jews and enforcing Muslim control of the land of Israel that God gave to the Jewish people millennia ago (Genesis 17:8). Now the neo-Nazi jihadis in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria (the latter areas are wrongly labeled the “West Bank” by Arabs) are carrying on the heinous and murderous campaign of the Nazis. Lipovsky, an...

In Munich on September 16, 1972, 10 days after the massacre of the Israeli athelets, a Nazi fascist rally, "the First National European Congress of Youth," was held. The 600 delegates cheered Black September to the rafters. Delegates also extolled Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian who killed Senator Robert Kennedy.

Prosecutors appeal ruling to free Georges Ibrahim Abdallah serving life sentence for 1982 killing of US military attaché Charles Robert Ray and Israeli diplomat Yacov Barsimantov PARIS — A French court on Friday ordered the release of pro-Palestinian Lebanese terrorist Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, jailed for 40 years for the 1982 killings of two foreign diplomats, prosecutors said.

Israeli and French fans got into a brief altercation during Thursday’s Nations League soccer game, which had heavy security presence following the antisemitic violence in Amsterdam this week. Just after the game kicked off at 8:45 p.m., local time, officials reported a small brawl between Israeli and French soccer fans at a top section of the Stade de France, in Saint-Denis. Some of those involved in the scuffle were wearing Israeli flags draped over their backs as they wrestled with other people in the stands.

“I carried her because she couldn’t walk.” Still barefoot but no longer wearily hauling her younger sister over her shoulders, 6-year-old Qamar Subuh has a straightforward explanation for an act that many felt underscored the impact felt by Palestinian children amid Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. Video of Qamar carrying her injured sister to a hospital and back in central Gaza was shared widely across social media recently. An NBC News team spoke to the sisters and their family Saturday. Qamar said she and Sumaya Subuh, 5, were on their way to sell boxes of biscuits near the Al...

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that the war in the Gaza Strip must end with the establishment of a "full-fledged" Palestinian state, urging the Middle East Quartet to be reactivated in order to resume mediation efforts in the region. "The primary solution to the Palestinian problem is the establishment of a fully-fledged Palestinian state. The Russian side has upheld this position since the Soviet era," he remarked during a meeting with BRICS media managers in Moscow.

Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement Monday in commemoration of the October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, expressing sympathy for the victims but adding that she would “always fight for the Palestinian people.” Harris’s message continues a pattern of equivocation by the Biden administration — showing solidarity with Israel against terrorism, but also showing solidarity with the Palestinian cause in whose name the terror was committed. While describing the October 7 attack in graphic terms, and calling for the release of the remaining hostages, Harris also added that she was “heartbroken over the scale of death and destruction...

Warning: Graphic footage. Iran fired 181 ballistic missiles at Israel tonight. Only one person was killed: A Palestinian man in Jericho. We've said it once, and we'll say it again: the Iranian regime is dangerous, destructive, and one of the greatest threats to regional and world stability. VIDEO AT LINK...................

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN “Palestinian refugee” agency UNRWA, on Monday denied knowing that one of the agency’s employees, Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin, was a Hamas commander in Lebanon, Reuters reported. Hamas announced earlier that el-Amin, who led its Lebanon branch, was eliminated in an Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon along with family members. Lazzarini acknowledged that el-Amin had been suspended from his job and put under investigation back in March due to concerns about his affiliations, but added, "The specific allegation at the time was that (he was) a part of the local leadership... I never...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) slammed the Democratic National Convention for not featuring a Palestinian American speaker, stating it is “hard not to feel invisible.” “It’s hard not to feel invisible as a Palestinian American. Our trauma and pain feel unseen and ignored by both parties. One party uses our identity as a slur, and the other refuses to hear from us. Where is the shared humanity? Ignoring us won’t stop the genocide,” Tlaib said in an interview published Monday with Zeteo, the news organization founded by former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan. Tlaib was among a group of Democrats, specifically progressive...

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union joined calls for a Palestinian American to speak on the final night of Democratic National Convention, implying that the party risks losing the election amid ongoing protests over the administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. “If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic Party,” the UAW wrote Thursday on social platform X. “If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party...

The pro-Palestinian activists who disrupted campuses across the nation are plotting their return for the new academic year. Demonstrators say all forms of protest are still on the table, despite the more than 2,000 arrests so far, as students try to figure out a new strategy to demand their schools divest from Israel, among other goals. “What we will see [is] the students will continue their activism, will continue doing what they’ve done in conventional and unconventional ways. So not only protests, not only encampments, kind of any — any available means necessary to push Columbia to divest from from...
