U.S. — New research has discovered that women will throw their support behind any cause, no matter how violent and sexist, as long as they get to wear a scarf. "So, let me get this straight: this cause treats women as property, believes raping women an acceptable form of violence, and vows to murder innocent civilians - but I get to wear a scarf?" asked local college student Danielle Walker. "That sounds amazing! Sign me up!" Though researchers had posited that women would be turned off to a cause where men take videos of themselves butchering children, they were surprised...

EW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Social media erupted in fury as the identity of the person orchestrating the "violent" anti-Israel demonstrations at Columbia University was unveiled. Shockingly, it turns out he's not just any protester, but someone unrelated to the students, married, and the son of millionaire advertising executives. This bombshell revelation sparked outrage across social media, with many questioning the authenticity of the protests and whether they were fueled by hidden agendas. The suspicions didn't simply materialize out of nowhere. They were planted by NYC officials, including Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD, who had previously suggested the potential...

Protests continue to ravage college campuses across the country and spreading like a virulent malignancy. Many of the protests have descended into violence. Jewish students are being unlawfully denied entrance to their schools. School administrators cower in fear save for a paltry few. These are supposedly Pro-Palestine and anti-Israel protests. They may be, but it's a small part of much larger scheme. Two thousand have been made but virtually all of them are seeing their charges dropped and few really face the consequences of their actions. Outside professional agitators are among those protesting. 282 people were arrested in New York,...

The Democratic Party is bracing for massive protests during the Democratic National Committee convention in Chicago in August, reminiscent of the chaos of the 1968 convention. Fears of a repeat of the infamous convention, which saw hundreds arrested, have been thrown around as the Israel-Hamas war continues and as massive campus protests that have paralyzed several universities have further illustrated what may be in store for the Chicago DNC convention in August. “This last week has taken the demonstrations to a different level,” former President Barack Obama’s chief of staff William Daley told the Washington Post. “It portends that you...

The wave of anti-Israeli protests on college campuses across the United States continued over the weekend, with two demonstrations briefly interrupting graduation proceedings at the University of Michigan. Dozens of protesters wearing keffiyehs and graduation caps held up Palestinian flags and marched down the center aisle toward the stage at Michigan Stadium during Saturday morning’s commencement, CBS News reported.

You are funding genocide,” according to the New York Times. A plane bearing the messages “Divest...

The CEO of a male hair loss and erectile dysfunction treatment company said he is “eager” to hire anti-Israel protesters taking over college campuses in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

It’s working. “There are plenty of companies...

Five West Virginia middle school students who protested a trans athlete's participation in a shot put competition have been banned from future competitions. Becky Pepper-Jackson, 13, competed in the Harris County Middle School Track and Field Championship on April 18, two days after a federal appeals court ruled West Virginia’s transgender sports ban violates the teen's right under Title IX. Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn, then refused to throw the ball. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on the student's...

Ivy Leagues have been making the headlines lately, but what can students actually learn at a prestigious university these days? The answers may surprise you. The Babylon Bee is here to put parents' minds at ease with the following list of critical life skills their kids will learn at an Ivy League school: 1) How to plagiarize dissertations: Learn from the real experts. 2) How to pitch a Coleman pup tent purchased from Walmart by George Soros: Those little poles can be tricky, so learning how to assemble them is a big deal. 3) How to chant in unison by...

Embattled Columbia University President Minouche Shafik said Monday that negotiations with student organizers of the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel demonstration had failed to reach an agreement. Fine. It's past time for Shafik to give law enforcement the go-ahead to physically remove the demonstrators if necessary. Besides, negotiating with agitators who carry signs declaring "Death to Zionists," "From the River to the Sea," and other such antisemitic vileness only serves to further empower the demonstrators.As RedState reported on Sunday, Columbia demonstrators are now demanding "amnesty" for their actions so their future career opportunities won't be affected. This is insane, and it would be...

Several hundred pro-Palestinian protesters descended on a Washington hotel Saturday where President Biden was speaking at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The protesters chanted slogans such as “shame on you for breaking bread,” in opposition to Israel’s war on Hamas and President Biden’s support for Israel. They confronted guests who were dressed in formal attire arriving at the hotel and made their way into the hotel lobby at one point amid heavy security. Code PINK, a non-profit organization that has heavily scrutinized the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, announced a plan earlier this week to set up...

The anti-Israel tent encampment at Columbia University is being led by a cohort of controversial student leaders — some of whom express solidarity with Hamas and say “Zionists don’t deserve to live.” These students are the ones negotiating directly with leaders of the Ivy League university — holding campus hostage with dozens of tents and hundreds of protesters splayed out on the lawn in Morningside Heights. One of the most prominent faces in the protest camp is Khymani James, a spokesperson for Columbia United Apartheid Divest, which is demanding that the university divest from any company that does business with...

The situation unfolding across college campuses in the United States is a complicated one, and bears reflection. I do not propose anything definitive, but I wanted to share a few thoughts. A Very Brief History of the University: The first question we must ask is “What are universities even for?” It is not an easy one. They began as institutions to train clerics in theology and philosophy, and evolved gradually into places for training gentleman scholars. Oxford and Cambridge in the 19th century did not live up to the model St. John Henry Newman describes in The Idea of a...

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...

Fox News Digital reported that the United Nations Division for Palestinian Rights' NGO Action News — which reportedly gives updates about civil society organizations concerning "the Palestine issue" — pointed readers to the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights' list of "5 Ways to Take Action for Tax Day." The report mentioned that the list included instructions about how some protesters who didn't "want [their] tax dollars to fund genocide" could "disrupt for a free Palestine." The second item on the list pointed a user to a hyperlink for protesters who wanted to engage in a "coordinated multi-city economic blockade to...

President Joe Biden condemned “antisemitic protests” happening on college campuses, while attempting to see the perspective of Palestinians, during an Earth Day event on Monday held at Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia. When asked by a reporter if he condemns the anti-Israel protests happening on college and university campuses around the United States, he said he did, while also condemning people “who don’t understand” what’s happening “with the Palestinians.”
