As Israel mourns the loss of America’s young conservative leader, Palestinians mock and celebrate online, echoing past scenes of joy after U.S. tragedies. Yair Kleinbaum Sep 10, 2025 19:57 As the people of Israel, and all other civilized westerners, are mourning the passing of Charlie Kirk, thousands of Palestinians are responding to posts by Israeli influencers mourning his death with laughing emojis and mocking comments. On the Facebook page of one of Israel’s largest influencers, the Israeli rapper “The Shadow,” where Kirk was eulogized, hundreds of Arabs, including Arabs who enjoy the rights of every Israeli citizen, i.e Israeli-Arabs, published...

Much was foretold this last weekend by Mahmoud Khalil, the formerly arrested Columbia University Palestinian student leader, who spoke before the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel “People’s Conference for Palestine” held in Detroit, Michigan. Khalil, the keynote speaker, told a room packed with thousands of pro-Palestinian militants that they should organize a “national liberation movement” in the United States. “We should build a national liberation movement,” Khalil advised the activist audience who openly strategized for “resistance.” “We should build a national liberation movement,” Khalil advised the activist audience who openly strategized for “resistance.”

Palestinian activists are huddling this weekend to devise the "next phase" of their protestsRadical Palestinians are planning and moving again on multiple fronts, raising the question: will we experience a violent fall semester on college campuses, in workplaces, in our places of worship and on our streets? The answer appears to be yes.On this Labor Day weekend, the nation’s top Palestinian and pro-Hamas strategists are gathering in Detroit, Michigan. We should pay attention as they plan for what they call the “next phase” of their campaign against Israel and against Jews. We saw a glimmering of this incipient uptick over...

Recognition of Palestine as a state has become popular among some members of the United Nations. French president Macron and others like him should be aware that a state is more than a wish your heart makes. An analogy to the Palestinian State scheme is Rumpelstiltskin spinning gold from straw. Yasser Arafat created the name “Palestinian” in 1964 for the newly formed Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). It was renamed Palestine in 1998. There has never been a Palestinian nation, a Palestinian civilization, a Palestinian culture, or a Palestinian language. There has never been a Palestinian state governed by Arabs until...

Here’s a bold idea for the Kurds, Taiwanese, and Tibetans: Go to Israel and kidnap a bunch of Jews. It’s your quickest path to statehood. Travel to Tel Aviv, go swipe a few hundred Israeli civilians (women and children are your best bet; they’re smaller and take up less space), and then send your demands to the United Nations. Within a few days, England, France — and a growing number on the American left — will reward you with statehood. Pro Tip: Try to align your independence movement with some kind of colorful headgear — like what the Palestinians did...

The October 7 atrocities convinced Israelis that any territory given over to the Palestinians would become a launchpad for terror. During a recent meeting at the White House, a reporter asked President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu “Do you think there can be a two-state solution that creates an independent Palestinian state?” The question surprised me, since from Israel’s point of view the two-state solution is a dead letter. There was a time when many, perhaps even a majority, of Israelis believed a two-state solution with the Palestinians was possible. This was the position of every Israeli government for...

Canada will recognize a Palestinian state in September, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Wednesday. “Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution, an independent, viable and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security,” said Carney, flanked by Foreign Minister Anita Anand. The move follows similar announcements by France, which has said it will recognize a Palestinian state in September, and the UK, which has said that it will too if Israel does not meet conditions that include agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza. “Canada intends to recognize...

Sir Keir Starmer risks clashing with Donald Trump over ending the war in Gaza when they meet on Monday during the US President's visit to Scotland. Trump has already said Hamas does not want peace, but Sir Keir will want to press the president on whether more can be done to stop the conflict in the Middle East. It comes as Trump continues his short visit to Scotland to open a second 18-hole course at his estate in Aberdeenshire. Sir Keir will travel to Scotland on Monday for one-on-one talks with Trump, which will revolve around how Britons and Americans...

Around 10,000 people have taken part in a march in support of Palestine on the streets of Dublin. The National March for Palestine, organized by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, began at Parnell Square this afternoon and made its way to Leinster House for a rally outside the Dáil (lower house of parliament). Today’s march is the 16th national march since October 2023. Groups representing trade unions, political parties as well as churches took part, carrying banners to show their group’s support for the cause. A group from GAA Palestine also took part in the march after the club made a...

EL AVIV—Israel on Monday began negotiations with several countries it hopes will take in Gazans as part of a mass emigration plan first proposed by President Donald Trump, two Israeli officials with knowledge of the talks told the Washington Free Beacon. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer briefed the rest of the cabinet on the talks in a closed-door meeting on Saturday evening. The leaders said the talks were expected to continue for several days with the goal of securing commitments from the other countries to accept specific numbers of Gazan migrants in exchange for...

Demonstrators in Los Angeles and other major cities waved Palestinian flags and chanted for an “intifada” as protests over ICE raids spiraled into organized violence and ideological unrest. Violent protests that erupted in response to federal immigration raids across Los Angeles last weekend have taken on a distinctly radical tone, with footage showing rioters not only targeting law enforcement but openly invoking militant Palestinian rhetoric and terrorist imagery. While the initial trigger was a wave of ICE arrests across residential and commercial areas, the unrest quickly shifted into something broader. In several confrontations downtown, masked individuals draped in keffiyehs and...

A man accused of being “a Hamas operative” based in London is a key figure behind Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound aid boat, it emerged on Monday. Zaher Birawi, who was described in Parliament as a person with links to Hamas, called himself a “founding member” of the Freedom Flotilla International Coalition, which arranged the voyage by the aid boat Madleen. Israeli forces boarded and seized the boat on Sunday, detaining the 12 pro-Palestinian activists it was carrying, including Ms Thunberg, as it attempted to bring a “symbolic” amount of aid to Gaza in defiance of an Israeli naval blockade. Mr Birawi,...

Students from universities including Yale, Stanford and UCLA have been refusing to eat in solidarity with Palestinians at risk of starvation in GazaWhen I speak to Iman Deriche, she hasn’t eaten in five days. “There are some moments of fatigue,” she says. “But I’m doing well.” The 21-year-old Stanford University student is one of 24 students and three faculty members who are taking part in a hunger strike in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. They aren’t alone: students and faculty at universities across the US are going on hunger strike with activist organisation Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), from...

Gaza Strip — It cost a fortune, she said, but Asmaa Fayez managed to buy a few zucchinis in a Gaza market. She cooked them with rice and brought it to her 4-year-old son, who has been in the hospital for the past week. The soup was his only meal of the day, and he asked for more. "It's all finished, darling," Fayez replied softly. Still, it was an improvement from the canned beans and tuna she brings on other days, she said. Hospital patients are among the most vulnerable as Palestinians across Gaza struggle to feed themselves, with Israel's...

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok The city council of Providence, Rhode Island, is hosting a flag raising ceremony at the City Hall.What flag, you ask? A Palestinian flag... Providence, RI has been conquered.

In his social media posts, Abu Toha "specifically disparaged female Israeli hostages, questioned their hostage status and implicitly justified their abduction." One of the winners of this year's Pulitzer Prize - Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha - disputed whether the Bibas family was murdered by their captors and argued that Israeli hostages should not be called hostages. This was first revealed by the watchdog HonestReporting, which also called for Abu Toha's award to be rescinded. Abu Toha was awarded the prestigious prize on Monday for a series of essays in the New Yorker about the suffering in Gaza, where he...

The United States told the International Court of Justice Wednesday that Israel must provide aid to Gaza, but the country does not have to work with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. The top court of the United Nations is holding a week of hearings on what Israel must do to provide desperately needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, following a request for an advisory opinion from the U.N. General Assembly last year. The U.S. said Israel had legitimate concerns about the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, also known as UNRWA, the largest provider...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has decided that the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees is not immune from being sued, reversing the U.S. government’s position that the organization was protected from civil liability.The Justice Department revealed its new stance in a letter it filed in federal court in New York on Thursday as part of a lawsuit that aims to hold the agency, known as UNRWA, accountable for the Oct. 7, 2023, deadly attack on Israel by Hamas. The change in position underscores the hardened perspective toward the agency under the Trump administration following allegations by Israel that some...

This is intolerable the latest reports I'm hearing they've blockaded the Strip and food is running out (days away) meanwhile airstrikes continue and children are being killed. There are protests in Jerusalem DAILY by Israeli citizens against these brutal tactics and the war in general. The Israeli government says it is trying to pressure Hamas to hand over hostages. President Trump is going to have to intervene or there is going to be a massive crisis especially if the reports are right about them being days away from running out of food. Over 2.3 million Palestinians are affected.

Summary. This WIP document was created to help understand Jew-hatred (Antisemitism) - the world's oldest form of racism. As well as provide essential resources and outline the following: — How Islamist propaganda goes hand in hand with leftist Marxism through the process of Soviet/Russian. — The connection between Islam and the Nazis (how Nazism transformed into Islamism). — How the "Palestinian Cause / Movement" is the pinnacle and forefront of Arab imperialism, Islamic Jihadi terrorism, invasion and colonialism. — How Israel isn't fighting the Islamic Republic of Iran, Qatar, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc - it's fighting Islam. — How we’re...
