Maybe running around, smashing things and defacing monuments, including sacred ones, aren’t the effective persuasion tools that Islamists and leftists think they are?
In October, the leftists and Islamists were touting a YouGov poll in which 58% of Brits said that there definitely should be a ceasefire and 18% said that there probably should be.
Current numbers are less enthusiastic with only 33% urging a push for a ceasefire.
Jews in American academia seem to have been surprised by the recent wave of antisemitism. I would like to ask them and other American Jews four questions.
While Israel is fighting to eradicate Hamas, the shockwaves of the war in Gaza have reverberated thousands of miles away. In a surge of activism, large numbers of students on America’s college campuses have lined up behind the Palestinian terrorist group, waving the Palestinian flag and expressing antisemitism at a level never seen before in America.
The pro-Hamas activism began already days after the October 7th Palestinian terrorist attack in Israel. It has continued since then, and it seems to have taken our academic institutions by surprise. This is especially the case with Jewish-American members of the faculty, who are now struggling to understand the new reality in which they live and work.
Here’s a partial summary of what it was like to be Jewish in America this past month.
In Los Angeles, an elderly Jewish man was struck on the head by a pro-Hamas protester and later died of his wounds. In New Orleans, a Jewish student who tried to stop a classmate from burning an Israeli flag was attacked and had his nose broken. In Manhattan, a Jewish woman was assaulted and sustained injuries to her face and neck after she confronted two passersby tearing down posters of kidnapped Israeli citizens. The list goes on.
How should we think about these attacks?
Mass immigration has riven Canada with ethnic tribalism. We have become the world’s first 5th Columnist State.
On November 8, the House of Representatives (212 Republicans and 22 Democrats) voted to censure radical Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) because she has “levied unbelievable falsehoods about our greatest ally, Israel, and the attack on October 7.”
One of those outrageous falsehoods was clinging to the false claim that Israel bombed the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza. But guess what? Our professional “fact checkers” haven’t located that lie…or any other nutty utterance, like her laughable claim that “from the river to the sea” isn’t a Hamas slogan about the eradication of Israel, it’s an “aspirational call for freedom” and “peaceful coexistence.”
As tensions continue over the Israel-Hamas war, McGill University says it could end its agreement with its student union over a contentious pro-Palestinian policy being voted on this week.
In an email response to the Montreal Gazette, the university said the proposed Policy Against Genocide in Palestine would worsen divisions on campus and put students at risk.
The Wall Street analyst who was fired after he was filmed telling a Jewish American to “go back to your country” while he covered hostage posters with antisemitic signs has given a groveling apology after he and his wife got death threats.
Kurush Mistry and his partner Shailja Gupta said their actions were “misguided and thoughtless,” and claimed they never supported Hamas.
After a birthday dinner with his parents and son that reminded him of how lucky he is to be surrounded by people who love him, Ryan Merovitz was entering his driveway when his headlights illuminated something that shattered that feeling.
“Dad, there’s something written on the garage door,” his 18-year-old, Mathew, called out from the back seat.
The mother of an Israeli hostage being held in Gaza was ambushed by Hamas’ top hostage official while giving a live interview on Al Jazeera.
Meirav Leshem Gonen’s 23-year-old daughter Romi Gonen was abducted from the Supernova Festival when Hamas terrorists carried out a rampage across southern Israel in the early morning of Oct. 7.

As their country unites in the face of terrorist evil, ours is exposing a nasty and divided underbelly
I have spent recent weeks in Israel, and goodness knows this is a country that has plenty of challenges. But one question I have been asked a lot by an alarmingly wide array of Israelis is: “What happened to Britain?”
Generally, I get protective after this question, and reassure people that Britain is still Britain and that our core of decency remains as it always was. But the response is always the same: “But these marches?” Now perhaps they will say “… and the vote?”
In Canada that dubious distinction must fall on the GTA or is Torontostan sufficiently ugly to claim the title as its own?
A pro-Palestinian activist group shared a frightening map of New York City newsrooms, businesses and landmark buildings — and called for “direct action” to “globalize intifada.”
In addition to news buildings, Within Our Lifetime, which describes itself as a Palestinian-led community organization, also called for followers to target the offices of technology companies
“Each of the locations on this map reflects the location of an office of an enemy of both the Palestinian people and colonized people all over the world. Today and beyond, these locations will be sites for popular mobilization in defense of our people,” the sickening Wednesday night post read.
Competing chants broke out when pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted a rally by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in London on Thursday night.
Poilievre was interrupted several times by protesters as he spoke to hundreds of people attending an “Axe the Tax” rally at the Greek Canadian Community of London and Vicinity Club on Sarnia Road.

The Hamas terrorist who paraded festivalgoer Shani Louk’s body through Gaza has been killed by Israel, a rabbi has claimed.
The mother of Shani, 23, who was shot dead by Hamas terrorists on October 7, reportedly told a leading rabbi that the terrorist who paraded her body through Gaza on the back of a truck was killed by Israeli forces.
The tattoo artist’s family spent weeks believing that Shani had been kidnapped from the Nova electronic festival on October 7 by Hamas – before Israeli soldiers confirmed she had been killed after they found fragments of her skull on October 30.
