The David Horowitz Freedom Center has said over and over again that Students for Justice in Palestine is a terrorist group. That became all the more obvious after Oct 7 when the campus hate group’s chapters endorsed the attacks and one recently supported the firebombs thrown at elderly Jewish people marching for the release of the hostages in Boulder, Colorado. Now, federal authorities are taking action and 8 ‘students’ associated with the radical movement are under indictment

The FBI arrested three men on Friday on charges of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State (ISIS), according to a statement from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). Bisaam Ghafoor, 21, Elias Shamsaldeen, 21, and Bereen Dzayee, 25, were taken into custody following a complaint filed in the District of Kansas. They were accused of 'conspiring to provide material support to terrorism' after collectively giving over $2,000 in cryptocurrency to an individual believed to be a member of ISIS. The allegations in the complaint were found to be substantiated, and the funds were proven to have...

WASHINGTON—It’s no secret that America’s college campuses are in crisis. From violent protests and woke groupthink paralyzing free speech and rigorous debate to sky-high tuition rates, the average student faces too many challenges in pursuing higher education. To help identify why higher education isn’t working well and how to fix it, Encounter Books today published “Higher Education in America: It’s Worse Than You Think,” edited by Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts and featuring an introduction and conclusion by Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Christopher F. Rufo. The book draws on insight from college presidents, professors, researchers, and education policy experts to...

Since October 7, one of the most inconvenient facts in the entire debate has become impossible to ignore: Hamas does not merely tolerate Palestinian civilian suffering—it exploits it, it wants it. Many observers who were previously unaware of this (longstanding Arab "Palestinian" leaderships) reality were confronted with it in 2024 when reporting revealed internal communications from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. According to the reporting, Sinwar viewed mounting Palestinian casualties and destruction not as a strategic failure, but as a strategic success. The more devastating the war became for Gaza, the greater the international pressure on Israel, the greater the diplomatic...

Modern Arab Palestinian leadership: Palestinian Authority, Nazism and Nazi CollaboratorsIntroduction Controversies surrounding antisemitism, Holocaust distortion, and praise for Nazi collaborators have repeatedly emerged in connection with the Palestinian Authority (PA), the Fatah movement, and senior Palestinian political figures. Critics — including Yad Vashem, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and watchdog organizations such as Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) — have documented repeated examples of Holocaust revisionism, praise for Nazi collaborators, and public glorification of figures associated with Nazi Germany. Historical Background: Haj Amin al-Husseini and Nazi Germany A central figure in many controversies is Haj Amin...

A would-be Palestinian suicide bomber was met with raucous applause as she appeared before University of California Berkeley law students. Israa Jaabis, who was released from an Israeli jail in 2023 as part of a prisoner exchange for 26 hostages taken on October 7 of that year, made the virtual appearance as part of a 'teach-in' organized by the student-run UC Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine. The event, which came just one day before Israeli Independence Day, was described as a chance 'to hear experiences of Palestinian torture survivors and prisoners of conscience.' But Jaabis was accused in 2015...

Hamas’ gruesome terrorist attack against Israel has left the entire world in shock, primarily at the barbarity of Hamas’ actions but also at the monumental intelligence failure on the part of Israel’s vaunted security establishment. The tragic attack has also encouraged some healthy critical reflection on the Biden regime’s Middle East policy. In a colossal blunder worthy of the legendarily inaccurate financial commentator Jim Cramer, Biden’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan just this month bragged that “the Middle East is quieter now than it has been in two decades.” Of course, no one can be expected to predict the future,...

Hamas’s Protester Cohorts: How Direct Terrorist Coordination Exposes the “Genocide” Lie Against Israel. The false accusation that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza is not a grassroots cry for justice—it is a carefully orchestrated propaganda campaign directed by the very genocidal terrorists who started the war. Since Hamas’s barbaric October 7, 2023 massacre—when its fighters slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, raped women, burned families alive, and took 251 hostages—the terrorist group has openly coordinated with, financed, and celebrated the anti-Israel protest movement in the United States. This unholy alliance dismantles the “genocide” libel once and for all. If the protests were truly...

A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic. Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.' 'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X. After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'. '[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they're doing something,' she wrote. 'It's obviously a joke I don't care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you're not cleaning...

While Farghali noted that it is typical of the Muslim Brotherhood to “exploit Gaza and Palestine for money.” The Muslim Brotherhood allegedly stole half a billion dollars from donations for the Gaza Strip in a single campaign, Egyptian researcher Maher Farghali reported on Sunday. While Farghali noted that it is typical of the Muslim Brotherhood to “exploit Gaza and Palestine for money,” the difference with this incident is that Hamas condemned the theft. The association Waqf al-Ummah/Ummet Vakfı, founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, is said to have been responsible for taking half a billion, which it raised in a single...

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX: Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down.

Critics have long said that accusations of famine in Gaza have a gaping hole right in the middle: the staggering amount of emaciated, dead bodies, part and parcel of a famine, are simply nowhere to be found. When the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a United Nations-linked food-security agenda, determined in August that a famine was indeed ongoing in parts of Gaza, those behind the report said that the sheer devastation in Gaza did not allow for an accurate accounting of starvation-related deaths. Instead, they said, they were using another key criterion for famine that generally goes hand in hand...

Campus Jihad Hypocrisy: 33K Gaza Tears vs. 1M+ Islamist Slaughter Ignored On American campuses, Islamo-Arab lobbies and their radical allies orchestrate non-stop spectacles of faux outrage over Israel's defensive war against Hamas, fixating on roughly 33,000 civilian deaths in Gaza—tragedies exacerbated by the terror group's ruthless human-shield tactics of embedding fighters, rockets, and command centers in hospitals, schools, and homes. Yet this death toll pales against the jihadist bloodbaths they conveniently overlook, where Muslim supremacists slaughter their own and minorities without a whisper of protest. Israel's combatant-to-civilian ratio—fewer than 1.5 non-combatants per fighter killed—reflects unprecedented restraint in urban warfare, debunking...

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said there is no room for pro-Israel voters within his coalition, arguing that fellow Democrats should not make "an exception" for people who are "progressive except Palestine." The Democratic nominee said his long history of anti-Israel activism—which includes founding the Bowdoin College chapter of the extremist and terror-aligned Students for Justice in Palestine organization—informs his belief that pro-Israel liberals should be driven out of the left.

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) has spent millions of dollars in 2025 supporting an array of anti-Israel groups, several of which have ties to terrorism abroad and extremist activists in the United States, a Washington Free Beacon review of the organization’s grantees shows. The RBF in April of this year awarded a $135,000 grant to 7amleh, the "Arab Center for Social Media Advancement," under the umbrella of "Peacebuilding." The organization describes itself as an advocate "for Palestinian digital rights," creating a "safe, fair and free digital space for Palestinians." Its leadership, rather than a list of notable peace activists, consists...

The national body of Students for Justice in Palestine backed Hamas’s grisly public executions of fellow Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, posting “Death to the Occupation, Death to Collaborators” on Instagram. The call for executions followed the murder of “journalist” Saleh Al-Jafarawi, known to critics as “Mr. FAFO” because he would post complaints about Israeli counterattacks after posting happily about Hamas attacks.

Muslim man in America is asked a simple question, “If you like your religion so much, why don't you go to a Muslim country?”The Muslim man proudly proclaims “This is a Muslim country” and they are here to take over America “whether you like it or not.” He straight up says this… pic.twitter.com/6SMNOwtw08— Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) October 14, 2025

Summary. While Israel has historically been regarded as a close ally of the United States—sharing democratic values, intelligence cooperation, and defense partnerships—certain individuals of Arab "Palestinian" origin or ideological affiliation have been involved in acts of violence against Americans. This article provides a factual overview of documented incidents that have shaped this complex relationship. 1. Sirhan Sirhan and the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy (1968)Background: Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a Palestinian IslamoChristian born in Jerusalem in 1944, moved with his family to the United States in 1956.[1]Defense : The ex Grand Mufti of Jerusalem dispatched two Arab lawyers to defend Sirhan....

Why the Term "Fakestinians" Resonates More Than Ever Since the Genocidal-Islamist October 7th Terrorist MassacreSince the October 7th Hamas-led massacre—a genocidal, premeditated assault targeting Israeli civilians—the Palestinian narrative has been increasingly exposed as manipulative, deceptive, and rooted in distortion. The term “Fakestinians” has gained traction not as an attack on individual Arabs, but as a critique of a manufactured identity and a propaganda machine that fuels violence and global misinformation. Here's why: 1. Invented National Identity Rooted in Historical RevisionismThe majority of so-called “Palestinians” are descendants of relatively recent Arab immigrants who moved into the British Mandate of Palestine during...
