A documentary film released this weekend in more than 100 movie theatres across America explores the processes by which antisemitism exploded across university campuses, in street demonstrations and on social media following the Hamas-led atrocities in Israel on October 7, 2023. It shows how throughout this vast uprising, Hamas have been celebrated as freedom fighters rather than terrorists. The film’s director, Wendy Sachs, has also noted that this tsunami of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred wasn’t a spontaneous eruption of feeling. It was orchestrated. The Hamas narrative of murderous lies has been embedded into campuses by the vicious anti-Israel group, Students...

Columbia University’s radical protest leaders, including Khalil, aren’t just anti-Israel — they want America to fall and are taking steps to make it happen. Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats are demanding the release of Columbia University student and pro-Hamas protester Mahmoud Khalil. While House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) is accusing the Trump administration of “authoritarianism,” the Democrats are about to be embarrassed. Khalil is a leader of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, one of more than 150 pro-terrorism groups I identified in my comprehensive study for the Capital Research Center, “Marching Toward Violence: The Domestic Anti-Israeli Protest Movement.”...

Helyeh Doutaghi, deputy director of Yale Law School’s Law and Political Economy Project, placed on “immediate administrative leave” as university investigates allegations.. A research scholar at Yale Law School also moonlights as a member of a U.S.-sanctioned terrorist fundraising entity, according to web postings reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Those postings reveal that Helyeh Doutaghi, the deputy director of Yale Law School’s Law and Political Economy Project, is a member of Samidoun, an organization sanctioned by the U.S. government in October in an announcement that described it as a "sham charity" and a "front organization" for the Popular Front...

Letter from a terrorist to the world is written by Jerusalem Jane to reveal the horrendous reality and deep trauma facing the Jewish people and Israel. For years, we slaughtered thousands of Jews in horrific terror attacks, including Holocaust survivors and babies; then we slaughtered even more Jews because we are never satisfied with how much blood we shed in those attacks. In 2011, two of our terrorists brothers, armed with four knives, entered the Itamar community and entered the Fogel family home. They went from room to room and brutally murdered most of the family. They stabbed 10-year-old Yoav...

Jimmy Carter will become the sixth American president to be given an official state funeral at the United States Capitol as the nation prepares to honor its late commander-in-chief. Carter has died at the age of 100, almost two years after announcing he would spend his final days in hospice care. His son Chip Carter, 74, confirmed the former president had died in his Georgia home on Sunday around 3.40 pm ET. President Biden was expected to declare an official 'day of mourning' for the deceased during a speech from the Oval Office on Sunday night. Is there a state...

Joseph Slaughter, who has defended illegal encampments at the Ivy League school, helped write new guidelines surrounding campus protest rules.. As a member of Columbia University's top disciplinary body, Joseph Slaughter helped draft guidelines meant to provide students with a "contemporary understanding" of school rules on campus protests. As an English professor, he delivered a lecture that lauded a string of terrorist plane hijackings as "spectacular" and "remarkable," according to audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. During his Oct. 9 talk, titled "Hijacking Human Rights," Slaughter referenced "pretty spectacular" footage of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)...

During the meeting, Yahya Sinwar, then the leader of the group in Gaza, requested an additional $7 million a month from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to fund the attack on Oct. 7, known as the “big project.” The Times has independently reviewed a set of the documents that refer to the $7 million, including details about the way Hamas’s leadership works and the preparations that went into its attack. The lawsuit also mentions the role of the Revolutionary Guards in coordinating between Hamas and Hezbollah, a regional ally, in preparation for the attack, which The Times has reported. The...

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. The court said Abdallah, first detained in 1984 and convicted in 1987 over the murders, would be released on December 6 provided he leaves France, French anti-terror prosecutors said in a statement to AFP, adding that they would appeal. “In (a) decision dated...

The NYPD wasn’t playing around with a group of anti-Israel protesters who brought their children Saturday to demonstrate outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn home. About 60 people gathered for what was billed as a “rage playdate” outside Schumer’s Prospect Park West building, where they had coloring pages about “Zionist bullies” and plead for President-elect Donald Trump to defund the Jewish state. But the NYPD quickly moved the protesters away and blocked off the street because the agitators had not gotten a permit. Parents clashed with officers, calling them “dictators” and yelling “KKK NYPD.” “I will sue the s–t out of...

What will it take to shut it down? First, let’s be clear. The 92-10 vote in the Knesset in favor of banning UNRWA from operating inside Israel does not prevent UNRWA from working inside Gaza. UNRWA staff can still enter Gaza from Egypt, or from the Mediterranean.Second, this ban does not go into effect for three months. During that time, it should be possible to find alternative agencies to take over UNRWA’s role in distributing humanitarian aid, providing medical personnel, and staffing schools where the teaching is not a vehicle for pro-Hamas propaganda that poisons the minds of young Gazans.Third,...

Overnight, during a joint IDF and ISA intelligence-based activity, the IAF struck and eliminated the terrorist Nidal Abdel-Aal, Head of the Lebanon Branch of the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) terrorist organization. The terrorist Imad Odeh, who was the Head of PFLP's Military Office in Lebanon, was eliminated alongside him. Abdel-Aal led PFLP’s efforts to plan and carry out terror attacks against the State of Israel and directed the organization's terror activities in Judea and Samaria. He operated to establish terror infrastructure in Judea and Samaria to use in attacks on Israeli targets. .....

Dozens of speakers at the Doha event are anti-Israel advocatesThe head of an Israel-designated terrorist organization, a former Hamas official, and Hamas apologists are among the dozens of anti-Israel advocates scheduled to speak at a Georgetown University conference in Qatar running Friday through Sunday, a Washington Free Beacon review has found.The speakers at the "Reimagining Palestine" event will discuss the "ideological shifts" of Zionism, "art as resistance," and "anti-colonial struggles," and will engage in "dialogue that challenges the status quo," according to the Doha event’s website. Among the nearly 70 scholars is Shawan Jabarin, a former senior member of the...

At a Philadelphia protest against the presidential debate between Kamal Harris and Donald Trump on September 10, 2024, protesters waved Hamas and PFLP flags, held a banner stating: “Amerika is the head of the snake,” and chanted, “Yahya Sinwar, you make us proud!” Protesters continued to laud Hamas’s Izz Al-din Al-Qassam Brigades and the Lion’s Den. They added: “Resistance is justified, when people are occupied.” The protest’s MC led the crowd in a chant: “U.S. imperialist – number one terrorist!” Participants chanted that Vice President Kamala Harris is a “war criminal,” and called for “Intifada, revolution,” while making a triangle...

The Hamas terror group is losing control of Gaza's smaller terror groups, the Jewish Chronicle reported Wednesday, citing Israeli military sources. The report noted that some of the smallest organizations, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Mujahideen Brigades, the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, and the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, have "cut off" and no longer heed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's instructions, These groups hold an unknown number of hostages. Only about 20 living hostages are held by Hamas, while the other terror groups hold the remaining hostages. According to the Chronicle, 22 handcuffed hostages are...

Trump wrote that the documentary was 'incredibly difficult to watch because, sadly, it graphically portrays the death and destruction that Hamas has unleashed.' Former US President Donald Trump urged people to watch the film Screams Before Silence by Sheryl Sandberg, which documents Hamas's sexual violence on October 7, in a post on his social network Truth Social on Tuesday morning. Trump wrote that the documentary was "...incredibly difficult to watch because, sadly, it graphically portrays the Death and Destruction that Hamas has unleashed."

The Biden administration recently floated the idea of resettling a limited number of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to the United States. As a nation, it’s the least we can do. The reported proposal would bring Palestinians with immediate family ties in the U.S. to our shores. It is unclear how many Palestinians would qualify, but it would likely remain far below the need. Sounds straightforward, right? Wrong. The history of the Palestinian refugee question is fraught, as Palestinians have called for the “right to return” for refugees to their homeland, which is now part of Israel or claimed by Israel....

Progressive activist groups from across the country are preparing to protest outside the Democratic National Convention “with or without permits” come August. Coalition leaders have attested their right to be within “sight and sound” of the convention’s center stage at the United Center, citing First Amendment rights in a federal lawsuit filed last month. On Saturday, leaders reaffirmed their commitment to be heard outside the DNC, despite the city’s denial of protest permits closer to the convention’s site. A couple of hundred people representing 78 activist organizations gathered Saturday for a day-long “working conference” hosted by the March on the...
