Pro-terror rhetoric rises as anti-Israel activists think they’re winning – analysis

The mask has fallen for the same reason it momentarily slipped on October 7 itself: The anti-Israel activists are confident, comfortable, and believe they are winning as they support terrorism.

The Columbia University encampment protests have seen a startling escalation in violent and pro-terrorist rhetoric since the anti-Israel activists occupied the campus on Wednesday.

Videos of demonstrators promising to carry out more massacres similar to the one on October 7 have flooded social media, many of them posted by pro-Palestinian groups and activists themselves.

They have not only praised Hamas, calling on them to kill more IDF soldiers, shoot rockets, and burn down Tel Aviv, but they have also identified with the terrorist group, with one woman saying, “We’re all Hamas.”

How Met has faced growing criticism over policing of protests

Britain’s streets have become another frontier in the war between Israel and Hamas and often the police are being caught in the crossfire.

A series of flashpoints between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian supporters has seen police forces plunged into complex scenarios and at times drawn criticism for its handling of them.

Since October 7, on average there has been a pro-Palestinian protest in London every two weekends in what has been the biggest continuing drain on police resources since before the 2012 Olympic Games, costing tens of millions of pounds.

Embrace Pluralism over Racialism

Jews feel less safe in America than they did a generation ago, and for good reason. As my colleagues have documented, we are living through a disturbing surge in anti-Semitic violence. The reason, I suspect, is a change in the ideological climate, one that represents a grave threat to the American experiment.

Other nations, throughout their histories, have scorned the Jewish people. But it was George Washington who asked that “the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.” Since then, America has welcomed the Jewish people. In return, it has reaped enormous rewards, as the extraordinary achievements of Jewish scientists, doctors, lawyers, artists, businesspeople, and statesmen have helped make America the most dynamic, productive, and creative nation in the world.

Biden’s America: Jewish Students Advised to Flee Columbia University for Their Own Safety

Israel Under Attack – U.S. Administration Abandoning Its Ally?

Gaza – one can only imagine the hardship.

Amid the relentless assaults from multiple adversaries — Iran’s regime, Qatar, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis — Israel finds itself surrounded by Iran’s “ring of fire” on all fronts.

These coordinated attacks, originating from both neighboring states and non-state actors, pose, as clearly intended, a threat to Israel’s existence. In these dire circumstances, Israel looks to its longstanding ally, the United States, for crucial support and solidarity. However, the Biden administration’s approach has left Israel feeling isolated and abandoned at a time when it most needs unwavering backing.

Red on Red: Pro-Palestinian Protest Disrupts Uber-Left Chelsea Handler Standup Show in Virginia

Trump Deranged Z-List Celebrity

A standup performance from former TV host Chelsea Handler was disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters Friday in Richmond, Virginia.

Hander was appearing at the Altria Theater in Richmond for her “Little Big Bitch” comedy tour when her show was beset by protesters.

As Handler was onstage, several women jumped up onto the stage and began yelling at her about the ongoing situation in Gaza.

For some reason it doesn’t matter that Handler is as left as it gets.

Jewish Canadians can’t be responsible for Israeli government’s actions, MPs unanimously vote

OTTAWA—As police link a rise in antisemitic attacks to Israel’s war with Hamas, MPs this week sought to send a message: Canadian Jews cannot be held responsible for the actions of the Israeli government.

It was a quiet moment of agreement that nearly went unnoticed and came after months of tension among MPs over the Liberal government’s policy response to the war.

But the fact there was agreement, some said, shows there does exist cross-partisan consensus to address the dangerous spillover of the conflict into Canadian streets.

Useless virtue signaling. So what about Zionists?

Israeli Weapon Damaged Iranian Air Defenses Without Being Detected, Officials Say

An Israeli weapon deployed in a retaliatory strike against Iran on Friday damaged a defense system responsible for detecting and destroying aerial threats near Nantaz, a central Iranian city critical to the country’s secret nuclear weapons program, according to two Western officials and two Iranian officials.

The strike, the Western officials said, was calculated to deliver a message to Iran that Israel could bypass Iran’s defense systems undetected and paralyze them, using a fraction of the fire power Iran deployed last week when it launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel. That attack, intercepted by Israel and its allies, caused minimal damage.

An Israeli bomb destroyed 4,000 embryos at a Gaza IVF centre. Where is the outrage?

The majority of Gaza’s frozen embryos have been destroyed

If you, or someone you love, has ever had fertility issues, you will know just how heavy an emotional toll they can take. IVF, in particular, is not easy. You have to inject yourself with hormones. Then you undergo anaesthesia and have an operation to retrieve the eggs. Then the embryos are made. Finally, you implant the embryos. It’s a long, expensive and involved process that can take a physical and emotional toll. At the end, you hope it’ll all be worth it. At the end, you hope there will be a baby.

Oh my.

Seattle teacher who said it’s ‘offensive’ to identify as straight now suspended for comments on Hamas terror attacks

A Seattle high school teacher previously accused of berating a student for describing himself as “straight” has been suspended for making pro-Hamas comments – including that the terror attack on Israel was justified and questioning whether women were raped.

Ian Golash, social studies chairman at Chief Sealth International High School, was placed on administrative leave on April 11 after Accuracy in Media, a conservative group that exposes antisemitism on campuses, distributed a video interview with him, the Seattle Times reported.

University of Ottawa equity, diversity, inclusivity discussion ‘an abject failure’

Let’s say you are the vice president of Equity, Diversity and Inclusive (Excellence?), VP EDI, at a Canadian university and you organize an event to have a “courageous conversation” about anti-Palestinian racism, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism that ends up being a uniform rant against Israel and Zionism with no equity, no diversity, or inclusion for Jews.
