Sydney Jewish Community Warned to Stay Home as Hamas Supporters Claim the City’s Streets

Members of the Jewish community in Sydney, Australia’s biggest city, were warned Monday to stay home and avoid being identified while supporters of the Palestinian terror group Hamas marched through the Central Business District to gather at the iconic Opera House.



Australian Jewish Association President David Adler told Sky News an email was sent to the Jewish community warning them to avoid the harbor front building and the center of the city as Palestinian terrorist supporters hijacked what was supposed to be a tribute to fallen Israelis.



“We’ve seen one or two Jewish people who turned up early, who have been taken away by police because they carried an Israeli flag,” Adler told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.



“An email went around to the Jewish community warning us to stay out of the city of Sydney tonight, to stay away from the Town Hall area, to stay away from the Opera House area.



“We would be at risk if we were identified as Jewish in Sydney.”

The Sydney rally, organised by the Palestine Action Group Sydney, is demanding Australia cut ties with Israel and urging supporters to “protest in solidarity with Palestine.”



It follows the unprecedented Hamas terrorist attack on Israel over the weekend that claimed hundreds of Israeli lives, as Breitbart News reported.



People reportedly carried Palestinian flags, wearing black, white, red and green, and carrying banners with messages such as “Apartheid, wrong in South Africa, wrong in Palestine” and “Free Palestine.”

As the march set off a supporter of Israel was quickly detained and arrested by police.

Speaking from the Sydney Town Hall gathering point, activist and academic Fahad Ali called on the crowd to “resist Israeli occupation of Palestine.”



“We’ve suffered 75 years of dispossession, denied our rights to life and liberty, under an ever-worsening occupation by a colonial regime that has perpetrated every kind of atrocity upon us,” he declared.



Hundreds of attendees cheered as dozens of people waved Palestinian flags, AAP reports.

“Resistance is justified when Palestine is occupied,” supporters chanted as the crowd marched down through the very heart of the city.



“Free free Palestine,” others shouted back.



At the steps of the Opera House, candles were laid out to spell “Free Palestine” while flares were let off, News.com reports.



The Sydney Daily Telegraph newspaper then captured the moment Israel and Jews were abused in equal measure.

Monday’s march was organized to coincide with the state government’s decision to illuminate the landmark in blue and white – the colours of the Israeli flag – in support of Jewish community groups in NSW.



Parliament House in Canberra is among a number of Australian landmarks being lit up in solidarity with Israel.

Pro-Israel Protesters Ordered to Stay Home While Radical Muslims Flood Sydney Streets Chanting ‘Gas the Jews’

Frank Bergman
October 10, 2023 - 8:08 am


Disturbing scenes have been emerging from Sydney, Australia as authorities drag Jewish citizens away and order pro-Israel protesters to stay home as radical Muslims flood the streets chanting “gas the Jews.”



Pro-Hamas protesters have been demonstrating on the streets in support of the horrific terror attacks in Israel that have seen hundreds of innocent people murdered, raped, and kidnapped.



Outside the iconic Sydney Opera House on Monday night, police allowed anti-Semitic protesters to burn the Star of David while shouting “f**k the Jews” and the “Allahu Akbar” chant that’s synonymous with Islamic terrorism.



Despite authorities giving the anti-Jewish protesters free rein, cops cracked down on pro-Israel demonstrations, with one protester arrested and dragged away by police for trying to fly an Israeli flag.



The “despicable” scenes have been roundly condemned by leaders from across the political spectrum.



The anti-Jewish rally was organized by the Palestine Action Group Sydney.



Vast numbers of pro-Hamas activists gathered at Town Hall in Sydney’s CBD on Monday evening before marching to the Opera House.



The sails of the Opera House were lit up in blue and white in support of Israel.



However, the sails were only lit up for a short time and the colors were muted.



Israeli supporters were forced to stay away, with some only being able to see the illumination from the other side of Circular Quay.



There were scenes of chaos at the Opera House as the demonstration was led by radical Muslims.



Pro-Hamas thugs wearing black masks gathered beneath the steps of the iconic harborside venue and threw lit flares at police while chanting “f*** Israel” and “gas the Jews.”



Police stood by as radical Muslims burned the Israel flag and shouted “f**k the Jews.”


The Daily Mail Australia witnessed a large crowd of men setting an Israeli flag alight with firecrackers before stamping on it and tearing it to shreds.



Cries of “Allahu Akbar” (God is great in Arabic) and “death to the Jews” rang out as some members of the crowd swarmed towards the police barrier, brandishing torn pieces of the Israeli flag.

The violent aggression flowed freely despite the rally organizers calling for protesters to respect the police.



Over 100 cops formed a ring of steel along the steps of the Opera House and didn’t intervene when flares or other projectiles were thrown at them by pro-Hamas activists.



Instead, they placed the lit flares in buckets of water as acrid smoke filled the air.



The hands-off approach toward radical activists is prompting accusations of bias given that pro-Israel protesters were arrested by police for attempting to wave the Israeli flag.



As protesters arrived at Town Hall earlier in the evening, a man clutching an Israeli flag was dragged away by three police officers for “disrupting the peace.”



He was dragged away before he even had a chance to unfurl the flag.



In a video of the incident shared on Twitter/X, the man can be heard repeatedly saying “I’ve done nothing wrong.”



An officer told him: “You’ve been arrested in relation to a breach of the peace.”



A speaker then told the booing crowd: “Zionists don’t deserve our attention.”

In total, witnesses stated that three individuals attempted to fly an Israeli flag before being chased away by protesters or arrested by the police “for their own safety.”



Abigail Lane, 23, a social care student originally from Tasmania, had an Israeli flag with the word “peace” taken from her by police.



“A police officer came and snatched it out of my hands and said: ‘Why the hell are you going in there with that sign? What the hell do you think you’re doing?’,” she said.



“I said: ‘I’m not Palestinian, I’m not Israeli. I’m just Irish-Australian and I don’t like that we are inciting hate here in Sydney. My sign said love, not hate.’



“I don’t think inciting more anger and violence is the solution.”



Shockingly, New South Wales Police felt compelled to warn Sydney’s Jewish community to stay away from Sydney’s CBD on Monday evening.



“NSW police are urging the community not to attend the Sydney Opera House or Town Hall this evening,” an email from the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies to members read.



“Community members already in the CBD should be vigilant as protesters are likely to seek to march from Town Hall to the Sydney Opera House.



“The events tonight may pose a risk to the safety of community members and you are strongly urged not to attend.”



Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke admitted NSW Police had arrested a man who attempted to unfurl an Israeli flag at Town Hall.



Cooke claims the man was arrested “for his safety.”



“A person was removed from the Town Hall rally who was carrying a flag for his safety,” he said.



“He was arrested to prevent a breach of the peace for his safety.



“He was removed and released.”



“This is New South Wales, we do not expect people to bring conflict from other places to the streets of Sydney.



“Violence will not be tolerated and we were able to manage that to assure that there was no conflict last night.”



Meanwhile, Australia’s conservative opposition leader Peter Dutton branded the Opera House scenes “despicable.”



Dutton blasted left-wing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for allowing the protest to go ahead.



“These were despicable scenes in Sydney tonight and they are unimaginable in modern Australia,” Dutton said.



“I condemn the actions of the activists and protesters.”



NSW Premier Chris Minns said he “deplored” the rally and described it as being “against the tenets of our multicultural community.”



“We lit up the Opera House in support of innocent people who have had their lives slaughtered or loved ones kidnapped,” Minns told Sunrise.



“The community expectation from the vast majority of people I have spoken to in the past 48 hours has been horror at the actions of Hamas and also the demonstrations that have taken place in Sydney in the past 48 hours.”



Robert Gregory, CEO of the Australian Jewish Association, warned that “Australians should be very worried.”



“The police gave a warning for Jews not to come into the area,” Gregory said.



“Think about that. Imagine if there were mobs hunting blacks or gays in Sydney’s CBD.



“Imagine if the police warned blacks or gays not to come into Sydney’s CBD.”

Police Being Deployed to US Religious Sites as Slaughter Goes Global



By Richard Moorhead

October 9, 2023 at 12:28pm


American law enforcement is taking action in the homeland as conflict between Israel and Palestinian terrorist groups escalates.



Departments in several major cities are upping security protections at Jewish synagogues, as well as Christian churches.



The development comes as Israeli citizens face violence in other countries, spurred by the assault on Israel by the terrorist group Hamas.



Two Israeli tourists were killed in Egypt by an Egyptian police officer on Sunday, according to BBC.



The New York Police Department is increasing its presence in the city’s Jewish neighborhoods, according to UPI.



A pro-Palestinian rally in Manhattan drew a large crowd.

The Los Angeles Police Department announced that it was increasing patrols around synagogues and Jewish community centers, according to KABC-TV.


LAPD Chief Michel Moore cited both the safety of the Jewish and Muslim communities in the city as cause for doing so.

Heated demonstrations have followed the series of terrorist attacks targeting Israel — in which individuals bearing Palestinian flags have voiced support of the acts.

Scuffles broke out between members of two dueling pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel rallies in Tampa, Florida, on Sunday.



Authorities ultimately deemed the event an illegal gathering.

Israel is initiating a significant military response following the large-scale attacks.



The nation has declared war on Hamas — with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant pledging a strong response to those he termed “human animals.”

University of Wisconsin Students Cheer Hamas Killers – Chant “Glory to the Martyrs!” at Student Protest in Support of Palestinians

By Jim Hoft
Oct. 11, 2023 7:40 pm




Geoffrey Datz stumbled upon a protest on the University of Wisconsin campus on Tuesday in support of the Hamas killers who slaughtered 260 Jewish kids at a dance party on Saturday morning.



The protesters were chanting, “Glory to the martyrs!” The “martyrs” are, of course, the Hamas terrorists who were killed by Jews before they were able to finish their mass slaughter of Jews on Saturday.



This was just one of several very vocal pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests at a US university this week following the Hamas Sabbath terror attack in Israel.



These people support the slaughter of innocent kids at a rave.

They believe they are the oppressors.

We are living in scary times.

Massive Pro-Palestinian Rally in US Theater Erupts in Cheers When Speaker Defends Hamas



By Michael Schwarz

October 11, 2023 at 12:13pm

At a pro-Palestinian rally in Dearborn, Michigan, on Tuesday, an energized audience inside a large theater cheered Hamas.



“We are not going to be intimidated by, stay silent when they say Hamas is a terrorist organization. The fact, it is not a terrorist organization,” one speaker said to wild applause.



When the cheers subsided, the same speaker continued.



“And we have to say to them the terrorist is Benjamin Netanyahu and his government,” the speaker added.



More cheers ensued.



“And not only Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, but everyone that stands behind them and support him killing people in Palestine,” the speaker said, again to applause.



Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, independent journalist Brendan Gutenschwager posted a series of clips from inside the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan.

Another clip from the theater balcony showed a panoramic view of hundreds of attendees waving Palestinian flags.



Again and again, they chanted “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” along with “No justice, no peace!”



A second speaker then made reference to Hamas’ atrocities and what, in his view, provoked them.



“They said — the American government said — what happened last Saturday was unprovoked. We don’t want to be violent; we are not violent people. We are full of love,” he said.



“But when you have 75 years of ethnic cleansing, 56 years of occupation, 15 years of a blockade, that means nothing is unprovoked in Palestine.”

Then, the same supposedly peace-loving speaker further revealed his true colors.

Finally, the same speaker brought the rally to a rousing conclusion with more chants of “Free, free Palestine!”

Today on X, liberal journalist Brian Krassenstein predictably lectured people on how they should react to the rally.



“Americans need to realize that those who aren’t celebrating the terror attacks on Israel, but are speaking out in support of the innocent Palestinian people and innocent Palestinian children, who are put in harms way because of Hamas, are not bad people,” Krassenstein wrote.



He then noted that not everyone in Palestine supports Hamas. Finally, he insisted that those who gathered in Dearborn intended only peace.



“If these people are celebrating the terrorist attacks on Israel, then that’s one thing. If they are showing support for the peaceful people only looking to live normal lives in Palestinian territory, then that’s another. Please understand a difference,” Krassenstein wrote.

Jack Posobiec, senior editor at Human Events, had a different take.



“Gonna have to rename Dearborn as Little Hamas,” Posobiec posted.

Assessing these various comments requires us to remember that this past weekend Hamas terrorists carried out a Gestapo-like operation. They made no effort to conceal it. In fact, they slaughtered Jews and posted videos of it to social media.



Krassenstein insisted that the people who attended that Dearborn rally loved only peace and justice. On some level, no doubt many of them want those things.



The first speaker, however, denied that a Gestapo-like rampage even qualified Hamas as terrorists.



Then, the second speaker made vague references to preferring peace before rattling off a litany of historical grievances.



Finally, the second speaker acknowledged an ideological alliance with Black Lives Matter.



If Americans take nothing else from the speakers’ pro-Hamas comments, they should make careful note of the BLM connection.



To a decent human being, no amount of purported oppression justifies Gestapo-like atrocities. If a speaker cannot even acknowledge as much — if the speaker reverts to the sort of vague professions of peace in which Adolf Hitler always indulged right before he recited a list of German grievances and then invaded another country — then decent people must judge the speaker insincere in his professed love of peace and justice.



Oppression, where it exists, justifies resistance. It does not justify indiscriminate slaughter.



In the Marxist worldview, however, ends do justify means. The world divides, neatly and conveniently, into oppressors and oppressed.



BLM openly professes Marxism. It shares this view with Hamas and with everyone who regards Gestapo-like terror as excused, if not justified, by oppression.



The fact that this pro-Hamas rally occurred in Michigan only heightens our urgency.



Of course, it does not mean heightened fear or fear-mongering of any kind. Krassenstein was right about Palestinians who do not support Hamas. We must acknowledge them, pray for them and resist all efforts to rationalize or even perpetuate their suffering.



The urgency stems from BLM and Hamas supporters openly embracing Marxist excuses or justifications for violence against innocents. That ideological cancer has plagued the world for too long.

US Activist Groups Support Hamas’s Attacks on Israel Amid Ongoing Violence


May Hashem be aware of them always and cause their names to be cut off from the earth,

PSALMS 109:15 (THE ISRAEL BIBLE)

US-ISRAEL RELATIONS

OCTOBER 11, 2023




As the conflict intensifies between Israel and Hamas, several US-based pro-Palestinian, student, and Muslim activist groups expressed support for Hamas’s actions and condemned Israel. The Gaza-led assault on Israel resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Israelis, triggering retaliatory actions by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).



The US Council of Muslim Organizations blamed Israel and the US for the ongoing conflict and condemned Israel’s “indiscriminate killing of civilians.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) also voiced its support for the “Palestinian people’s right to freedom,” pinning the blame on Israeli and US policies.



Numerous pro-Palestinian and student groups lauded the attacks and announced planned demonstrations. Among them, the Students for Justice in Palestine characterized the conflict as a liberation movement, emphasizing resistance. Other groups in New York like Within Our Lifetime and Samidoun expressed similar sentiments and planned to hold rallies in Times Square and near the Israeli consulate.



These rallies and groups’ stances drew criticism from various quarters. New York Governor Kathy Hochul labeled the planned rally as “abhorrent and morally repugnant.” Simultaneously, white supremacist and antisemitic groups were seen applauding the actions of the Palestinians.



Many rallies in support of Hamas were also announced in numerous US, Canadian, and European cities. Demonstrators in Toronto were seen celebrating the attacks with pro-Palestinian chants.



The Democratic Socialists of America’s New York City chapter endorsed the Times Square rally, expressing their solidarity with the Palestinian cause. Meanwhile, the Jewish Voice for Peace attributed the source of the conflict to “Israeli apartheid and occupation” and the US’s complicity in the same.



Various Jewish groups announced pro-Israel rallies and efforts to assist Israel and Israelis in the US. In light of the situation, New York State and City police increased their protective measures around Jewish communities and places of worship.



Key landmarks in New York were illuminated in blue and white, symbolizing solidarity with Israel. Several leaders, including Mayor Eric Adams, Governor Hochul, and members of Congress, condemned the attacks and pledged their unwavering support for Israel and the Jewish community.



The Secure Community Network, responsible for the security of Jewish communities in North America, advised Jewish facilities to maintain vigilance, ensure security protocols, and coordinate with law enforcement agencies. Similar security measures were observed in Germany and France around Jewish sites. In London, the Metropolitan Police reported incidents linked to the Israel conflict and subsequently heightened city-wide patrols.

‘Free Palestine’ Rally in Dearborn, Michigan, Cheers Hamas
JOEL B. POLLAK
11 Oct 2023
5:14


A “Free Palestine” rally held in Dearborn, Michigan, on Tuesday with elected officials and community organizations from across the Detroit area featured cheers for the Hamas terrorist organization and chants for the destruction of the State of Israel.

The rally, held at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center, was ostensibly a show of solidarity for Palestinians — but said nothing about the 1,200 Israelis murdered, 3,000 wounded, and over 100 abducted as hostages by the Hamas terror organization. A full stream of the event can be viewed here.

Instead, there were chants of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” meaning that the entire State of Israel, between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, will be destroyed; and “With our souls, with our blood, we’ll defend you, O Aqsa,” a radical Islamic chant that calls for violence and echoes a false claim that Israel is threatening the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

There were speakers from state and county officials; Palestinian and Muslim activists; and a representative of Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. (Sharpton condemned Hamas’s terror attack this week, but evidently his organization still condones it.)

One speaker claimed that Hamas “is not a terrorist organization,” despite the mass murders and rapes; the killing of children, women, and the elderly, often in front of their families; and the abduction of hostages to an unknown fate in the Gaza Strip.

Another speaker claimed that white supremacists carry Israeli flags at their rallies — a bizarre claim that overlooks the fact that white supremacists are also antisemitic and opposed to Israel; as well as the fact that many Israelis are “people of color.”

One speaker, who mentioned the mere prospect of “peace in the Middle East,” and who said “all of God’s children deserve to live in dignity,” without even mentioning Hamas terrorism, was heckled mercilessly and interrupted by audience members’ chants.

One Jewish organization was represented. David Finkel, from the Detroit branch of “Jewish Voice for Peace” — a radical left-wing organization that has supported terrorists — spoke out against negotiations toward peace and normalization between Israel and Arab states in the Middle East. He did not say anything about the mass murders and other atrocities committed by Hamas.

Several speakers also slammed President Joe Biden, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and other elected officials for showing solidarity with Israeli victims of terror, saying that Arab American voters had been duped into supporting Democrats in recent elections.

Elected officials who addressed the rally included State Representative Alabas Farhat (D-Dearborn), and Deputy Wayne County Executive Assad Turfe, who claimed that supporters of the Palestinian cause in the war were “on the right side of history.”

PURE EVIL: Muslim Women in London Rip Down Posters of the 200 Missing Israelis Following Saturday’s Hamas Massacre of Jews (VIDEO)

by Jim Hoft
Oct. 12, 2023 5:20 pm

This is not Kabul or Tehran – This is London.



Muslim women were filmed ripping down photos and signs of missing Israelis following Saturday’s Hamas massacre of Jews.



They support the massacre.



There are over 200 Jews who were kidnapped by Hamas killers on Saturday and brought to Gaza including elderly women, children, and young adults.


RAIR Foundation:



Hundreds of volunteers, a coalition of Israeli and British Jews, have joined forces in a flyposting campaign to bring to light the faces of the innocent men, women, and children abducted by Hamas terrorists this past Saturday. However, these posters have elicited vehement outrage from pro-Hamas terror supporters, including Sharia-adherent women. In a disturbing video, the Islamic supremacist’s supporters can be seen tearing down the posters.



Over 200 individuals, including infants, children, and elderly citizens, have been taken hostage and are currently being held in Gaza. Each flyer prominently features the hostages’ faces and their names, emblazoned with the stark label “Kidnapped.” Volunteers gather at designated locations and receive instructions on different areas of London where they can post these hundreds of flyers.



The city has been subdivided into 45 distinct regions to reach a broader audience, deliberately excluding Jewish neighborhoods. The primary aim is to convey the message to non-Jewish residents of London. Every volunteer involved in poster distribution expressed their unwavering commitment to physically display the posters and disseminate the plight of these hostages through various social media platforms.

Major U.S Cities Ramp Up Counterterrorism Measures amid ‘Day of Jihad’ Threat

Frank Bergman
October 13, 2023 - 12:00 pm


Major cities across America have ramped up security and counterterrorism measures amid anti-Isreal calls for a “Day of Jihad” today.



City and state officials in New York and California are implementing heightened security measures.



The move comes as hundreds are expected to gather in America’s largest cities for pro-Hamas rallies.



The rallies fall on the same day a former Hamas chief called for a global “Day of Jihad” for Friday 13th, as Slay News reported.



The NYPD is preparing for a large anti-Israel demonstration in Times Square.



New York City’s Democrat Mayor Eric Adams said officials are “deeply disturbed by the message of hate urging violence in our communities.”



New York Governor Kathy Hochul also echoed Adams’ concerns.



However, Hochul added that officials currently did not have intelligence indicating “any active threats,” Fox 5 reported.



“There is currently no intelligence showing any active threats in New York, that is, the entire state of New York,” Hochul said.



“But in a moment fraught like this, we will continue to exercise elevated vigilance and impose measures to deteriorate any potential violence.”



The department said the NYPD’s critical response and counterterrorism commands stand ready to be deployed.



The NYPD is telling all officers to report in uniform.



Hochul added that New York has also fully activated the state police and directed the National Guard to patrol key areas, according to Fox 5.


Thousands of people gathered in the city earlier this week to show their solidarity with Israel.



However, a large group also hit the streets of the Big Apple on Thursday to condemn Israel and show support for Palestinians and Hamas.



Anti-Israel rallies were held at Brooklyn College, Hunter College, and Columbia University.



On the other side of the country, the LAPD is also boosting its security after concerning threats on social media in southern California, KTLA reported.



Santa Monica and Beverly Hills police departments along with the LAPD have put out statements confirming they know about the reported social media posts and have increased security at synagogues throughout Los Angeles County.



“We don’t have credible threats to this area right now, but that doesn’t mean somebody that’s working by themselves may see that and decide to take some action,” LAPD Assistant Chief Blake Chow.



“We’re really asking everybody to be alert.”



Former Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal called for Muslims around the world to “take to the streets” and join the fight against Israel on Friday.



“We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world,” Meshaal said in a statement sent to Reuters.



“It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively.



“It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes.



“It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa.



“It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger.”



Hamas terrorists killed over 1,300 people after invading Israel last Saturday, slaughtering innocent Israeli families.



Over the course of the week, the scale of Hamas’s atrocities against the Israelis has become more evident.



During their attack, the terrorists targeted the most vulnerable, including raping and killing young women and slaughtering children and infants.

Student groups call for the targeting of Israeli CIVILIANS in pro-Palestine “Day of Resistance” protests

10/13/2023 // Ethan Huff 
Tags: campus insanity, chaos, civilians, danger, Day of Resistance, discrimination, Hamas, Israel, Israel-Palestine war, National Day of Resistance, Palestine, prophecy, protests, SJP, Students, Students for Justice in Palestine, violence, War, WWIII, zionism



Now that the stage has been set for full-scale war in the Middle East with the recent provocation of Israel by Hamas, many pro-Palestinian groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) are planning protests against what they say is an Israeli occupation of Palestine.

SJP announced a "National Day of Resistance" on Thursday called "Protest for Palestine" that calls for mobilization in support of the Palestinian resistance.



In case you missed it, the most far-right of pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself, are now calling for the complete eradication of everyone living in the Gaza Strip, which is home to about 2.1 million Palestinians, a few thousand of which are Christians.



SJP unveiled a "toolkit" distributed among its members that calls for "dismantling Zionism," a religious system whereby those who identify as Jews believe they should be able to recreate their own nation of Israel atop what is widely considered to be the Holy Land.



Because pro-Palestinian groups like SJP believe that these Jewish "settlers" do not even belong there, having been eradicated by God Himself from the land for thousands of years before Israel as a political nation was reestablished in 1948, they are calling for all Israelis, including civilians, to be forced back out of the land.



(Related: The Wall Street Journal wants us all to believe that Iran is behind the recent Hamas attack, all so Israel can have justification to wage full-scale regional war against its neighboring enemies.)



Whichever "side" you're on, just remember that there are real human beings on both sides who just want to live in peace

Just like the pro-Israel crowd is doing by refusing to differentiate between members of the Hamas terrorist group and the rest of the innocent Palestinian people who have no affiliation with it, SJP in its toolkit does not distinguish between an Israeli "settler" living in disputed territories such as the West Bank, and Israelis living in the rest of the land called Israel, which SJP calls a "violent settler state."



A poster for the SJP Day of Resistance depicts a paraglider descending on a mass of people, which seems to imply that the group supports the Hamas tactic of dropping in on a parachute and committing violent acts of terrorism.



According to the same SJP toolkit, Hamas terrorism is "natural and justified" as a response to Israeli policy.



"This action of resistance shatters the illusion of Israel as an impenetrable, indestructible entity," SJP maintains. "Settlers are already fleeing the land, their 'dedication' to the settler colony is easily broken."



According to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA), SJP is not a "grassroots" student organization like it claims to be. It is "a terror-affiliated anti-Semitic network that currently operates with autonomy and impunity at colleges and universities across the United States," JCPA claims.



"Principal backers of SJP include founders, financial patrons and ideological supporters who have been connected to Islamist terror organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)."



As is often the case in war, the escalating Israeli-Palestinian one being no exception, the same people fund both sides as part of an ulterior divide-and-conquer tactic. There really is a conflict here, but just remember that those funding the "support Israel" side could also be funding the "resist Israel" side to maximize the conflict for sinister, self-serving reasons at our collective expense.



"Remember that God said to pray for the peace of Jerusalem ... no mention of Israel," one of our own commenters wrote.



"One day the innocent will be watching as all murderers and liars are cast forever into the lake of fire," wrote another.

Anti-Israel Groups Prepare Sequel to Australia’s ‘Gas the Jews’ Rally


JOHN HAYWARD
13 Oct 2023
5:46

New South Wales (NSW) Labor Party premier Chris Minns on Wednesday apologized to the Jewish community for the vicious “Gas the Jews” pro-Hamas rally at the famed Sydney Opera House on Monday night, acknowledging the heinous display made Jews feel unsafe and prevented them from commemorating the victims of the Hamas atrocity.



“I really want to ensure that the Jewish community in New South Wales feel that they can have full access to this city, that they can enjoy its life, that they can be part of its culture, that they can commemorate together during solemn occasions,” said Minns.



“The intentions of the government were very straightforward – to light up the Opera House to create a place and a space for the community to come together to commemorate the horrific scenes that we’ve seen in Israel over the last 48 hours. And we didn’t do that,” said Minns.



News 9 Australia confirmed on Wednesday that the one and only person arrested at the virulent hate rally was the lone Jewish man who attempted to counter-protest by waving an Israeli flag. The peaceable and law-abiding man was swiftly taken into custody by the police, who ignored the burning Israeli flags and calls for a new Holocaust while they hauled him away.



Australian officials claimed the Jewish man was taken into protective custody for his own safety, which would be bad enough if true, but video from the scene on Monday captured police telling the man he was “arrested in relation to a breach of the peace.”



Minns insisted the police are still investigating the “Gas the Jews” rally, which was held without proper permits and involved illegal use of fireworks and flares.



“The idea that they’re going to commandeer Sydney’s streets is not going to happen. Shouting racial epithets is not the definition of a peaceful protest,” he said of the pro-Hamas demonstrators.



Minns’ apology was accepted by NSW Jewish Board of Deputies President David Ossip, but he added that Sydney’s Jewish community “will long remember the infamy and disgrace of what transpired.”



Australia’s former ambassador to Israel, Dave Sharma, remained appalled by the government’s response to the rally on Monday night.



“How on earth did the New South Wales Government allow this to happen? How did they allow an important show of solidarity with the hundreds of victims of terrorism in Israel to be hijacked by extremists to applaud these very acts of terror?” he wrote on Instagram.



MP Allegra Spender, who represents a district near Sydney with a large Jewish population, called the Sydney Opera House rally “abhorrent” and said Australia’s Jewish community has been “subject to appalling abuse.”



“I am seeking an urgent explanation of how this was allowed to happen,” she said.



NSW police launched a program called “Operation Shield” on Wednesday to reinforce the “perception of safety, as well as actual safety” among the Jewish community. The head of the operation, NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Mal Lanyon, urged Jewish parents to send their children to school, “knowing that the police will be supporting them.”



“We understand that there is very reasonable fear within the Jewish community. We have certainly accelerated the proactive patrols we’re doing within that community,” said acting police commissioner David Hudson.



“It’s fully expected that those terrorist attacks and the resulting responses will have a long tail for the foreseeable future and we need to prepare for that,” he said.



Minns on Wednesday said the paperwork was submitted for another “Free Palestine” rally on Sunday, but he expected the NSW police to deny it.



“The protest organizers have already proven they’re not peaceful. Shouting racial epithets is not the definition of a peaceful protest,” he said.



Hudson said the paperwork for the new pro-Hamas demonstration was not submitted in time.



“Police are currently in negotiations with the organizers of that event. It is unauthorized at this stage. Organizers might decide to move it and if that is the case, there will be considerations,” he said.



Pressed by reporters, Hudson admitted the police would be unlikely to use force to stop the Sunday event if the organizers proceeded anyway. He became evasive when asked if the police would take action against more chants of “Gas the Jews!” or other anti-Semitic rhetoric, admitting his department has received complaints about not arresting anyone at the Sydney Opera House hatefest.



NSW officials toughened their stances on Friday as the organizers of the pro-Hamas rally made it clear they intend to hold their event on Sunday, whether they have legal permission or not.



Hudson said the police wish to invoke special “stop and search” powers for the first time in 20 years. He said attendees of the rally would be required to identify themselves upon request rather than hiding behind masks, as many of the “Gas the Jews” demonstrators did.



As he did on Wednesday, Hudson on Friday urged Australians not to attend the Sunday pro-Hamas rally.



“The experience from Monday, and the admitted inability by the organizers of the event, who have come out and said they can’t control who attends apart from them, causes us great concern,” he explained.



“We are worried that a potentially violent protest will infringe upon the free movement of people who are here with their families to enjoy what hopefully will be a pleasant day within the city,” he said.



Minns announced three men were arrested on Friday for performing Nazi salutes outside the Jewish Museum of Australia in Sydney. The three men were taken into custody by a swift and sizable police response, which included searching their vehicle and closing roads around the area.



“I expect, and so do NSW Police, the full extent of the law will be applied to those people,” he said.

Speaker at Pro-Palestinian Rally in Philly Congratulates Hamas on ‘Job Well Done’

A speaker at a pro-Palestinian rally in Philadelphia expressed his joy over the recent unprecedented attack on Israeli civilians, saluting Hamas for a “job well done,” while another slammed the “white-supremacist, settler colonial state of America,” which he described as “no different than the colonial settler Zionist state of Israel.”



Footage from last Sunday’s event showed the speaker, left-wing activist Michael C. Wilson, congratulating Hamas after the Gaza-based terrorist organization perpetrated “unimaginable horror” against thousands of innocent civilians.



“I think that we should all give an applause right now to Hamas for a job well done,” he told a cheering audience.

“When [the Israelis] woke up in the morning and they found the field hands [Hamas terrorists] in the house with a knife ready to cut their f**king throats… I was late to the news, but when I heard it I smiled,” he continued.



“I don’t want to hear that bull**it [about] ‘250 innocent Israelis are dead,’” he added, exclaiming, “f**k ‘em.” I censored the words, but apparently they've become acceptable to use in news stories!   I apologize if I missed any.

“Again, I swear, I salute Hamas [on] a job well done,” he reiterated.



Another speaker, defending the barbaric Hamas attacks, insisted that what happened was not terrorism, but rather “freedom fighters fighting for freedom,” and that “every person that died [at the hands of Hamas] was not innocent.”



“It’s our job here in the West to wake people up, it’s our job to show people who [are] the real terrorists,” the speaker proclaimed.

One speaker described the United States as a “white-supremacist, settler colonial state no different than the colonial settler Zionist state of Israel.”





The rally, organized by the Philly Palestine Coalition, began at Rittenhouse Square, where speakers “called on the crowd to support Palestinian people and to cheer for Hamas,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.



The group describes itself as a Philadelphia-based alliance of “Palestinian, Black & Indigenous” community members and organizations “working to support [and] uplift Palestinian leadership [and] liberation.”



The demonstration was promoted by the Philadelphia chapter of Democratic Socialists of America, as well as the Students for Justice in Palestine chapters of Temple University, Drexel, Swarthmore and Penn Students Against the Occupation of Palestine



Participants at the event openly called for a violent “intifada” and expressed their support for Hamas and “freedom” for Palestinians “by any means necessary.”



The matter comes in the wake of a sudden and violent attack by Hamas terrorists against Israel last weekend that saw the Gaza-based terror group abusing, executing, and kidnapping scores of men, women, children, and, at times, full families and even an elderly Holocaust survivor.

In southern towns, terrorists went door to door, shooting Jews and burning homes with families inside, proceeding to murder soldiers and infants alike, all while thousands of rockets rained down on Israeli civilian centers.

The brutal attack on Israel has so far left over 1,300 killed, more than 150 hostages, and at least 3,000 wounded.

New York City Public School Teacher Shares Image Of Hamas Paragliders, Calls Attack “Successful Military Campaign”

By David Greyson
Oct. 15, 2023 7:20 pm




A New York City public school teacher expressed public support for Hamas terrorists and their violent attack of innocent Israeli citizens.



Mohammad Jehad Ahmad, who is a high school teacher at Gotham Tech, put an image of a Hamas paraglider and said “I stand with Palestine” on his Facebook cover picture.



The same depraved image was used by a Black Lives Matter chapter. Not surprising.




Young Israelis party on Saturday morning as Hamas fighters fly paragliders in the background in to kill them.


Fox News reported:


A New York City public school teacher expressed support for the Hamas terrorist organization and its assault on Israeli civilians that included the murder of more than 1,300 people and at least 150 kidnappings, then repeatedly doubled down on the position.



Mohammad Jehad Ahmad, who teaches at Gotham Tech High School, according to his LinkedIn profile, changed his Facebook cover photo to an image of a person paragliding with a Palestinian flag attached to the parachute with “I stand with Palestine” written beneath, according to a screenshot flagged on X, formerly Twitter, by user Justin Spiro.



The same image, also widely shared by a Black Lives Matter chapter after Hamas’ surprise attack last weekend, references how terrorists descended onto Israeli communities with parachutes and gliders, killing hundreds of people and taking civilian hostages.



After a social worker had called him out online for his online behavior and showed concern for Jewish students, Jehad Hamad responded with an anti-Semitic rant and hatred toward Israel referring to them being terrorists and “a settler colony that was invented.”



It didn’t appear that he was disciplined or fired for his horrific rants.



Islamic terrorism has been an ongoing threat for years. When a major attack happens and we see people in the United States supporting Hamas, our country is in a dangerous place.



The Gateway Pundit recently reported about the world wide threat for Jihad that took place last week.



The New York Police Department (NYPD) has ordered all its officers to report for duty in uniform starting last Friday. The directive comes in response to a call for global demonstrations in support of Palestinians by Khaled Meshaal, the former leader of Hamas.

Anti-Israel Activists Wave Black Jihad Flag, Celebrate Hamas Terrorists at Pro-Palestine Protest in London


KURT ZINDULKA
14 Oct 2023
4:14

Thousands of anti-Israel protesters took to the streets of London on Saturday, with some carrying the black Jihadist flag used by numerous Islamist terrorist organisations.



Following the murderous terror assault by Hamas on Israel last weekend, thousands poured out onto the streets of London and other British cities to condemn the retaliatory strikes from Israel and in some instances to glorify the murders of Jews and others by the Palestinian terror group.

Footage shared on social media by veteran protest watcher Andy Ngo showed the black Jihadist flag which features the Islamic Shahada creed being flown at the protest outside of the BBC headquarters, which was defaced with red paint during the demonstration by the activist group Palestine Action.



The flag has been used by Islamic terror groups seeking to reestablish an Islamic Caliphate. A man was also photographed by the Getty Images service carrying the flag at the rally.

Protesters were heard chanting anti-Israel slogans, such as “Israel is a terror state” and genocidal creed: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” The slogan has been used as a call to arms symbolising the conquering of the entire state of Israel — and its people — from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.



The editor of Jewish News, Richard Ferrer, shared a photograph on social media appearing to show two of the protesters bearing patches with the image of paragliders. During the Hamas terror strikes last Saturday, terrorists were seen descending upon a music festival in Southern Israel with paragliders before executing an estimated 260 innocent civilians.



A similar image celebrating the Hamas paragliders was promoted by the Marxist Black Lives Matter chapter in Chicago earlier this week with the message “I stand with Palestine.” The group eventually removed the post and issued an apology, but maintained its support of Palestine.

In what has become typical for anti-Israel protests in London, the demonstration was joined by the far left, including supporters of the Marxist group Socialist Appeal, who were filmed chanting: “The UK is not innocent.”



The former leader of the left-wing Labour Party, septuagenarian socialist Jeremy Corbyn also attended the rally. Corbyn was suspended from sitting as a member of the party in Parliament in 2020 after facing criticism for seemingly downplaying a report into antisemitism within the party during his tenure as leader. Earlier this year, the Labour Party’s governing body voted to block Corbyn from running as a Labour candidate in the next general election.



Corbyn wrote on social media on Saturday: “We cannot stand by as Gaza is decimated. Today, we gathered in our thousands to mourn the loss of innocent lives, Israeli and Palestinian. We will keep marching until our political leaders wake up: ending the occupation is the only way to achieve a just and lasting peace.”

Ahead of the protest, the Metropolitan Police force mobilised over 1,000 officers to manage the demonstration. The Met warned that those who openly support Hamas, a proscribed terror organisation in Britain, may face arrest, the BBC reported.



This week, junior government minister Lee Rowley MP warned: “There is a right to protest, but there is not a right… to glorify terrorism,”



“You cannot support proscribed organisations like Hamas within the United Kingdom, and if that’s the case then I would expect police to take action accordingly.”



Others, including author Douglas Murray, have argued that those who support Hamas should be deported from the UK. Speaking to a group of Jewish leaders in London earlier in the week, the Strange Death of Europe writer said: “If you stand in Britain with the Hamas flag, you should not be allowed to be free in Britain. You should have your citizenship withdrawn. You should have your passport withdrawn. You should be deported.”

SICK! New York City Nightclub Hosts Pro-Hamas “Intifada FundRaver”

By Kristinn Taylor
Oct. 15, 2023 9:50 pm


A New York City nightclub called The End, located in Brooklyn, is hosting a pro-Hamas “Intifada FundRaver” Sunday night. The event is being promoted with a video that features Hamas videos of last weekend’s surprise attack on Israel that among its over 1,300 victims included 260 civilians slaughtered by Hamas at an outdoor rave. The promotor claims the funds raised at this rave will go to “PALESTINE CHILDREN’S RELIEF FUND & MEDICAL AID FOR PALESTINE.” The rave is set to go on into early morning–unless law enforcement shuts down the terrorist supporting event.







The ticket sales site ($17 minimum, age 21 and over) acknowledges the source of the video as being from the October 7 attack on Israel, “[video: palestinian bulldozer tears down a section of the wall on the gaza strip border, october 7 2023] [audio: ‘said guevara’ by checkpoint 303, speech from a 1994 interview with edward said”



Promotional page and video:

Independent journalist Alexander Higgins matched the artsy-version videos in the fundraver promo with the original Hamas videos. The Hamas videos show an Israeli soldier, probably dead, being dragged from a tank and a bulldozer smashing Israel’s border fencing with Gaza to let in terrorists during the October 7 attack.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) representing the south Bronx, spoke out against the fundraver, “A NYC club known as The End is holding an “Intifada Fundraver,” glorifying the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. In promoting the event, TheEnd.NYC Instagram account features a video of Hamas terrorists bulldozing the Gaza Strip border wall before carrying out the bloodiest terrorist attack in the history of Israel. There is a deep rot of antisemitism in American culture that cannot be ignored and must be confronted at every turn. No more turning a blind eye.”

Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine (D) also criticized the fundraver, “A nightclub in Brooklyn called The End is hosting an “Intifada Fundraiser” tonight which they are promoting on Instagram with a music video of Hamas bulldozing into Israel to commit mass murder. This is straight up glorification of a massacre. Reprehensible. (H/t @barakravid)”

New York State Senator Julia Salazar (D-18) defended the pro-terrorist fundraver, “+ This is in our district, and I personally would love it if people would stop inciting fascists to come out to my district and counter-protest some party at a club that was promoted with very stupid and insensitive messaging”

The fundraver was first reported by Axios reporter Barak Ravid:

The End has reportedly taken down the promo video from their Instagram page:

Tens of Thousands Sign Petition to Oust Ivy League Professor Who Celebrated ‘Awesome’ Hamas Terror Attacks

Frank Bergman
October 16, 2023 - 9:02 am


Over 30,000 concerned Americans have signed a petition demanding the ouster of a radical Ivy League professor who praised Hamas for launching “awesome” terrorist attacks against Israel.



After Hamas slaughtered hundreds of innocent Israeli citizens, Joseph Massad, a history and politics lecturer at New York City’s Columbia University, published an article celebrating the “awesome stunning victory.”



Massad made the chilling remarks in an article published on a website named Electronic Intifada.



He wrote the article one day after hundreds of Jewish people were slaughtered in areas close to Gaza.



In the same article, Massad referred to Israel as “cruel colonizers.”



He continued by praising Hamas‘s barbaric actions as “astonishing,” “astounding,” “awesome,” and “incredible.”



“The sight of the Palestinian resistance fighters storming Israeli checkpoints separating Gaza from Israel was astounding,” Massad added.



“Perhaps the major achievement of the resistance in the temporary takeover of these settler colonies is the death blow to any confidence that Israeli colonists had in their military and its ability to protect them.”



The comments have provoked a widespread backlash and led to calls for Columbia, former President Barack Obama’s alma mater, to fire the professor.



In response, a Change.org petition was swiftly set up by 23-year-old Maya Platek, a student at the college.



Platek accuses Massad of showing support for a “recognized terrorist organization.”



At the time of press, more than 33,000 people have signed the petition.



“The colonists’ flight from these settlements may prove to be a permanent exodus,” Massad wrote in another section of the shocking piece.


“They may have finally realized that living on land stolen from another people will never make them safe.



“What can motorized paragliders do in the face of one of the most formidable militaries in the world?” he continued, referring to the horrific terror attack against innocent young people at an Israeli music festival.



“Indeed as stunning videos show, these paragliders have become the air force of the Palestinian resistance.”



Massad, who is a native of Jordan and of Palestinian descent, has been on staff at Columbia since 1999.



He received his Ph.D. from the prestigious school in 1998.



In 2009, his tenure was protested by Columbia’s pro-Israel group LionPAC.



Since the Hamas attacks began, Columbia has become a flashpoint area in the U.S.



On Thursday, a Brooklyn teenager was arrested after she allegedly attacked a Jewish student.



Maxwell Friedman, 19, was arrested for striking an Israeli Columbia University student with a stick on Wednesday night, police have confirmed.



Friedman was charged with one count of assault following the altercation with a 24-year-old School of General Studies student in front of Butler Library.



On arrival, they were told that the victim – identified only by the initials I.A. – was engaged in a dispute that had become physical.



The victim accused Friedman, of Bushwick, of striking I.A. in the hand with a wooden stick.



She was taken into custody.



The spokesperson said the victim refused medical attention.



The incident is not being investigated as a hate crime, however.



Meanwhile, the Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine said in a public statement on Tuesday that Hamas’s actions were a “counter-offensive against their settler-colonial oppressor.”



“The weight of responsibility for the war and casualties undeniably lies with the Israeli extremist government and other Western governments,” the statement read.



The statement was also signed by a group named Jewish Voice for Peace.



“As long as you perpetuate this narrative, fighting will continue to break out until justice is achieved,” the statement continued.



“Because nothing else is working.



“As Columbia students, our classes regularly discuss the inevitability of resistance as part of the struggle for decolonization.



“We study under renowned scholars who denounce the fact that the media requires oppressed peoples to be ‘perfect victims’ in order to deserve sympathy.”



“Yet not only does our institution neglect to align its actions with its ostensible values, but it actively normalizes Israeli apartheid and subjugation of Palestinians,” the group went on.



The group reiterated previous statements in which they demanded that Columbia University divest from Israel.



In April 2023, it was reported that Columbia’s plan to build a campus in Tel Aviv was being met with stern opposition from staff and students alike.



“We call upon our administration as a whole to start verbally acknowledging Palestinian existence and humanity,” the statement added.

Facebook ‘Fact-Checker’ Suggests Israelis Were Unharmed during Hamas Terror Attack at Music Festival

Frank Bergman
October 16, 2023 - 4:48 pm


One of Facebook’s corporate media “fact checkers” has falsely suggested that no Israeli civilians were harmed when Hamas launched a terror attack at a music festival earlier this month.



On October 7, Hamas terrorists used paragliders to fly into a music festival in Israel, slaughtering hundreds of innocent concertgoers, mostly young people and families.



The terrorist also raped, injured, and kidnapped many more, as Slay News reported.



Eyewitnesses recalled horrific scenes of terrorists murdering innocent people as they ran for their lives, in some cases, pulling them from their vehicles as they fled and shooting them at point-blank range.



The festival, which was held to promote peace, was in the desert near Kibbutz Re’im, close to the Gaza Strip.



However, a Facebook “fact-check” by corporate media outlet Reuters of an online video suggests Israeli concertgoers were unharmed by Hamas’s terrorist attack.



Reuters’ “fact-check” is even prompting Hamas sympathizers to argue that the attack didn’t happen at all.



Reuters fact-checked an online video taken from an Israeli concert but not the music festival Hamas infiltrated last weekend.



The outlet used the video to debunk the claim that Israelis were “running for their lives.”



The video Reuters used for the “fact-check” was filmed on October 4 at a different concert and didn’t show people running for their lives.



It simply shows people running through the gates of a concert.



However, Reuters makes no mention of the fact that hundreds of Israelis were actually slaughtered at a concert three days later, suggesting to some that the attacks never even happened.



The social media giant’s parent company Meta employs Reuters as a “fact-checking partner” in six countries, including the United States and Israel, according to the Washington Free Beacon.


Inside Meta, Israeli employees have voiced alarm that one of the company’s major partners is whitewashing terror and spreading confusion about the facts on the ground.



“We saw today a massive campaign on our platform denying what has happened in Israel this week and saying Israel faked it,” one Israeli employee wrote in an internal email reviewed by the Free Beacon.



They argue that the tendentious “fact-checks” are “putting not only our reputation globally and in Israel at major risk but it also puts our employees at risk as they are being blamed for this and harassed by people online and on the street.”



The Reuters fact check examines an October 7 tweet that purports to show Israelis “running for their lives” after Hamas terrorists infiltrated a music festival in southern Israel.



But the video actually shows concertgoers running through the entrance of an October 4 concert in Tel Aviv.



However, the Reuters video does not include footage from the actual Supernova Music Festival in southern Israel, where hundreds of Israelis were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists.



In fact, it only vaguely mentions the “desert attack.”



Facebook reached an agreement with Reuters in 2020 to “fact-check content posted on the social media platform and its photo-sharing app Instagram.”



The company went on to rebrand as Meta, the social media conglomerate that also owns and operates Instagram and WhatsApp.



In response to Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel, which killed at least 1,300 people, Meta expanded its violence and incitement policy to remove “disturbing” content showing Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, “even if it is being done to condemn or raise awareness of their situation,” Reuters reported.



Reuters itself has downplayed photos of Hamas atrocities, portraying them not as evidence of the terror group’s barbarism but as examples of an “apparent effort” by Israel’s government to “stoke global anger against the Gaza militants.”



In that story—headlined, “Israel releases images of slain children to rally support after Hamas attack”—Reuters includes a quote from deputy Hamas chief Saleh Al-Arouri claiming the terror group did not plan to target Israeli civilians.



The Reuters fact check provides a window into how some media efforts to combat “misinformation” stemming from Hamas’s slaughtering of Israelis has instead inspired false claims.



One commenter used the Reuters video to argue that “no attack actually happened, Palestine will be free.”



Another thanked Reuters for “being the voice of the voiceless,” adding the hashtag, “free Palestine.”



Others cited the video as proof that Israel “doesn’t speak the truth” and is “always playing the victim card.”



“Gaza IS under attack with no food no electricity no water!!!!!” one comment reads.



“Please go through all the other debunked fake atrocity propaganda, the burning woman, the fake rapes and assault reports, and the so-called beheadings,” another says.



“It’s so important everyone understands it’s fake news!”



Had Reuters decided to include footage of the actual Hamas massacre on the Israeli music festival, it would have had plenty of harrowing clips to choose from.



In one video, Hamas terrorists are seen kidnapping a distraught Israeli woman.



In another, Hamas terrorists filmed themselves shooting into portable toilets festival attendees used to hide.



Videos from the festival also showed attendees running from Hamas terrorists.



Later, dead Israelis gunned down by the terrorists were filmed lying on the ground.

Cornell University Professor Says News of Hamas Terrorist Attack ‘Exhilarating’ and ‘Exciting’

By Margaret Flavin
Oct. 16, 2023 7:20 pm


Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history at Cornell University, spoke during a pro-Palestine protest Sunday and shared that the deadly Hamas terrorist attack was “exhilarating” and “energizing.”



Parents are paying $65,000+ a year for their children to be indoctrinated with hate.

The New York Post reports:



The footage of Rickford’s impassioned speech was also shared with The Post by two other tipsters. They declined to say when and where exactly the rally took place, but both said they were shocked by the brazen remarks.



The prof said the coordinated Oct. 7 attack, in which militants broke through concrete walls and paraglided into Israel to indiscriminately murdered civilians “shifted the balance of politics and punctured the illusion of invincibility” of Israel, which has imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip since terrorist group Hamas seized power there in 2007.



“That’s what they’ve done. You don’t have to be a Hamas supporter to recognize it,” he said.



Rickford continued, “It was exhilarating. It was exhilarating, it was energizing. And if they weren’t exhilarated by this challenge to the monopoly of violence, the shifting of the violence of power, then they would not be human. I was exhilarated.”


In 2021, Rickford wrote an article for Vox titled,“How Black Lives Matter reenergized Black-Palestinian solidarity,” writing, “Such expressions of kinship do not erupt spontaneously. Many of the latest manifestations of African American-Palestinian mutuality reflect the work of US organizations such as Existence Is Resistance that have designed political education campaigns to counter Western erasures and distortions of Palestinian socio-historical realities.”

Rickford is not alone in his extreme views at Cornell.



Last week, Derron Borders, a diversity and inclusion director at Cornell, posted support for Palestinians and criticized Israel after Hamas terrorists specifically targeted and murdered women and children.

Borders shared on Instagram, “When you hear about Israel this morning and the resistance being launched by Palestinians, remember against all odds Palestinians are fighting for life, dignity, and freedom — alongside others doing the same — against settle colonization, imperialism, capitalism, white supremacy, which the United States is the model.”



“Fu** your fake outrage at Palestine when you’ve literally been silent about the violence perpetuated by Israel against Palestine every day.”





Image: @derronstephen/Instagram


After backlash, he posted a lukewarm apology saying that the massacre was “inexcusable” but he could not help continuing to criticize the victims of terror saying, “The atrocities and violence towards innocent people in Israel is absolutely horrifying and should be condemned. The state-sanctioned violence and denial of self-determination for the Palestinian people by the Israeli government is also terrible and should be condemned.”



Cornell, however, does not have an issue depicting some people as terrorists.

Democrat Tlaib Accuses Israel of Bombing Gaza Hospital, despite Evidence Suggesting It Was Hamas

Frank Bergman
October 18, 2023 - 11:02 am


Radical “Squad” Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has accused Israel of bombing a hospital in Gaza, despite evidence suggesting that the blast was caused by Hamas terrorists.



On Tuesday, a deadly explosion destroyed a Gaza Strip hospital, with the death toll estimated to be around 500 people.
As reports first emerged about the blast, many, including major corporate media outlets such as the New York Times, were quick to allege, without evidence, that Israel launched a missile strike against the hospital.

However, evidence has been surfacing that suggests that the explosion was caused by a missile fired by Hamas terrorists.



Reports have indicated that Hamas fired the rocket and widely missed the target, striking the hospital instead.



Nevertheless, Tlaib took to social media to fire off baseless allegations and spread propaganda without pausing to check and confirm sources as the original reports first came in.



In a post on Twitter/X, the congresswoman claimed that: “Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that.”



She added that Democrat President Joe Biden must also share some blame for the deaths.



“Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me,” Tlaib tweeted.



“We will remember where you stood.”

Despite other rash claims from the Left, the official U.S. position is that Islamic Jihad terrorists and their backers were responsible for the catastrophe.


This position was outlined by Biden who is currently in Tel Aviv meeting with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu.



Biden made clear the attack was not from the Israeli military and appeared to have been carried out “by the other team.”

He added the Hamas terror group had only brought suffering to those living in Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond.



AP reports that Biden said during a meeting with Netanyahu:



“Based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team [Hamas], not you [Israel].”




The deadly blast, which reportedly killed hundreds of people, has sparked international outrage.



Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas dropped a scheduled Wednesday meeting with Biden over the issue.



The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have since released audio of their own.



The IDF says the recording shows the terrorists reacting once they realize their mistake in causing the strike on the hospital.

Israeli officials also released a video of the moment a rocket purportedly streaking towards Israel from Gaza appears to suffer a problem and suddenly changes course before flaming out.



In the darkness, it is not clear whether the rocket broke apart or simply lost its trajectory.



But moments later, a pair of explosions erupted in the city below – the result of what Israel claims was the rocket falling back to Earth and striking the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.



“This is the tragic result of firing rockets from densely populated neighborhoods,” the IDF said.



Biden told Netanyahu he was “deeply saddened and outraged” by the explosion.



The president also said it was not hyperbole to say Hamas had “slaughtered” Israelis in the October 7 attack.



The terror attacks saw mass rape, torture, and slaughter inflicted on innocent Israeli civilians.

New York Banker Canned After Posting Revolting Anti-Semitic Comment Defending Adolf Hitler Following Hamas Terror Attacks on Israel

By Cullen Linebarger
Oct. 19, 2023 4:00 pm


The evil terrorist attacks by Hamas savages on Israel have exposed some of the worst individuals in America.



On Wednesday, 25-year-old CUNY Brooklyn College graduate Nozima Husainova, who formerly worked for Citibank, took her turn slamming the Jews and Israel following these sick attacks.



She sparked righteous indignation after she shared a post by race hustler Shaun King claiming that Israel initially took responsibility for the hospital bombing in Gaza.



As Gateway Pundit readers know, this was all a lie perpetuated by Hamas. Not only did Israel have nothing to do with bombing, but the hospital itself was never bombed.



What really happened was the Islamist terror group ended up “accidently” bombing a parking lot.


Unburdened by facts, Husainova responded to King’s post by defending Adolf Hitler and praising the Holocaust. “No wonder Hitler wanted to get rid of them,” she wrote.



She ended her revolting remark with a smiley face.



LOOK:





Credit: @stopantisemites/Daily Mail

Stop Anti-Semitism, non-partisan American based organization focused on combatting discrimination against the Jewish people, rightfully lashed out against Husainova’s remark.

Perhaps felling the public pressure build, Citibank cut their losses and decided to fire Husainova.



A Citibank spokesman released the following statement Thursday to the Daily Mail announcing her termination.



We terminated the employment of the person who made the revolting anti-Semitic comment on social media. We condemn antisemitism and all hate speech and do not tolerate it in our bank.

UC Davis Professor Threatens to Hunt Down Jewish Journalists in Their Homes

By David Greyson Oct. 19, 2023 7:00 pm





There is an epidemic of mentally ill people who run academia. It’s bad enough that universities all across the U.S. are tainted by leftist professors, but with these kinds of people, we are reaching new levels.



UC Davis Professor Jemma Decristo made threats against Jews last week after Hamas terrorists ambushed Israel and slaughtered more than 1,300 Jews.



The professor referenced ‘Zionist journalists’ and was quoted as saying on her UC Davis page: “one group of ppl we have easy access to in the US is all these zionist journalists who spread propaganda and misinformation, they have houses w addresses, kids in school, they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.” After the quote there are emojis with a knife, axe, and blood droplets.



Making threats against people and referencing their homes and children in no way comes even close to First Amendment protections. This woman should be arrested. Period.

This is a real problem for the U.S. because, in the name of misguided tolerance, we allow people into this nation who don’t want to assimilate as Americans. There has been a lot of anti-Semitic rallies and chants since Israel was attacked by Hamas. We see it, especially in academia, primarily colleges, but it is also affecting younger people as well.



This next video shows high school kids in San Francisco marching in the hallway chanting, “Palestine must be free, from the rivers to the sea.” The whole point of being in school is to get an education. But here we see these young people promoting a group that endorses violence during school hours.



Watch:

Charlie Kirk is absolutely right when he says: “We must stop importing people who hate Jews and hate America. The experiment has officially failed.”



There has been a lot of hate on college campuses since Hamas attacked Israel. The Gateway Pundit Reported recently about how some students at Harvard were supporting Hamas and how people should not hire them, according to Alan Dershowitz.



During a recent appearance on the Sean Hannity Show, Harvard professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz suggested that Harvard students who are showing support for Hamas should be treated like the KKK.

Greta Thunberg Joins Anti-Israel Movement, Declares ‘Solidarity’ with Hamas-Controlled Gaza
Frank Bergman
October 20, 2023 - 11:13 am


Radical climate activist Greta Thunberg has gone on “strike” from her anti-capitalist green agenda efforts and joined the anti-Israel movement.

In a post on Twitter/X, Thunberg declared “solidarity” with Hamas terrorist group-controlled Gaza and demanded an “immediate ceasefire.”

Thunberg is calling on the public to “speak up” and demand that Israel cease its defense against Hamas’s terror attacks.

Despite her calls for “justice,” Thunberg said nothing on social media about the thousands of Israelis and scores of Americans massacred earlier this month.

Nor did she mention the hundreds of civilians that Palestinian terrorists have taken hostage.

She also failed to mention her two fellow Swedes who were murdered Tuesday by a jihadist in Brussels.

The 20-year-old activist did, however, post a picture of herself holding a sign stating, “Stand with Gaza.”

“Today we strike in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza,” she added in the caption.

“The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice, and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected.”

Thunberg added the hashtags: “#FreePalestine #IStandWithPalestine #StandWithGaza #FridayForFuture.”

Among the three leftists seen in the picture with Thunberg was one holding a sign that read, “Climate justice now!”

Another held a sign that read, “This Jew stands with Palestine.”

In a subsequent post, Thunberg promoted the accounts for the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), the Adalah Justice Project, and IfNotNow.

The Palestinian Youth Movement has accused Israel of genocide; demands street action “until Palestine is liberated in its entirety”; refers to the Israeli government as a “depraved” “Zionist regime”; peddled falsehoods about the recent jihadist hospital bombing; and has linked “Black liberation and Palestinian liberation.”

Days after the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel earlier this month, the PYM tweeted, “WHEN PEOPLE ARE OCCUPIED, RESISTANCE IS JUSTIFIED.”

IfNotNow is another leftist activist outfit that seeks to “end U.S. support for Israel’s apartheid system.”

It has called the Biden administration’s support for Israel “reckless and unconscionable.”

Thunberg’s latest leftist protest has sparked outrage and ridicule.

Eylon Levy, a spokesman for the Israeli prime minister’s office, tweeted, “Just wait till you hear about the carbon emissions from the 24,000 liters of fossil fuels that Hamas stole from the UN to feed its war machine.”

Israel’s embassy in Berlin responded, “Imagine this is your first Statement on the massacre of 1300 Jews conducted by Palestinian Terrorists.

“What is your business now? Hatred of Israel or climate protection?”

Noam Blum, chief technology officer at Tablet magazine, responded, “Glad to see Greta Thunberg and Andrew Tate coming to an agreement on dead Jews being awesome.”

DeepCube co-founder Eli Daive wrote, “Finally BLM, climate activists, and all the other wokes are being unmasked for what they truly are: terrorism-supporters that want the total destruction of Western civilization.

“You are the carbon they want to reduce!”

Ben Shapiro noted, “She is no longer a child, so we can mock her as the ignorant, irritating moron she is now.”

Arye Sharuz Shalicar, spokesman for the Israeli army, told Politico, “Whoever identifies with Greta in any way in the future, in my view, is a terror supporter. …

“Because what Greta is doing, that she is now showing solidarity with Gaza while not saying a word about the massacres of Israelis, shows that she is actually not in favor of the Palestinians, but that she is sweeping the terror of the Palestinians or Hamas and Islamic Jihad under the table as if it did not exist.

Anti-Semitism on Full Display in Pro-Palestinian Protests

Sen. Hawley’s Call to Condemn Campus Antisemitism Blocked by Dem Opposition – ‘A Revealing Moment’

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) expressed outrage over the support for “genocide against the people of Israel” on college campuses, as his resolution against campus antisemitism was blocked by Democratic pushback in what he termed a “revealing moment.”



Hawley addressed the Senate on Thursday, advocating for his resolution condemning Hamas and student groups on college campuses that expressed support for the unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel.






Despite urging fellow senators to back his resolution, it was met with opposition from Democratic members who ultimately succeeded in blocking it.



Hawley expressed deep concern about endorsements of the attack, particularly on college campuses, arguing that supporting violence against Jewish people and applauding attacks on them should be unequivocally condemned by the Senate.



“Almost as disturbing as the facts of these terrible attacks themselves is the response of some people in this country,” he stated. “On our college campuses in this country who promptly took to the streets, to the courtyards of these campuses, the airwaves, to broadcast their support for this genocide against the people of Israel.”



“Calling for the death of Jewish people is not just another opinion,” he added.



The Republican senator explained that “calling for the genocide, celebrating the genocide of Jewish babies is not just another opinion.”



“Celebrating the assaults on Jewish people in this country is not just another opinion, and the Senate should be clear and stand with moral clarity and say ‘this is wrong,'” he stated.



However, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) objected to Hawley’s proposal for unanimous approval of the resolution, arguing that it “smeared” students participating in such protests.



When Hawley questioned Van Hollen’s “legitimate concerns” over the resolution, the latter accused Hawley of “smearing all of the students who engage in these protests — yes, you are — and that is wrong.”



In response, the Missouri Republican expressed outrage over the Democrat senator’s defense.



“It’s hard to believe that we’ve just heard on this floor defense of the most vile antisemitic rhetoric under the excuse that to call out specifically the specific statements and denounce them one at a time and say ‘this is wrong,’ that that is somehow a smear,” Hawley said.



“What that is is a failure of moral nerve; what it is is a failure of moral clarity; what it is, frankly, sympathizing with this rhetoric,” he added.



Hawley concluded by noting that the State of Israel is “under existential threat.”



“We have students in this country who are specifically calling for and celebrating the killing of Jews, and we can’t condemn that on the floor of the Senate?!” he exclaimed.



“To say I’m disappointed is an understatement, Mr. President, but I will say this, it is a revealing moment,” he added.



The matter comes after numerous protests held on college campuses in the U.S. came out to defend Hamas and its massive attack on civilians earlier this month in the worst terrorist attack in Israel’s history.



The unprecedented attack saw Hamas terrorists gun down participants at an outdoor music festival, go door-to-door hunting, torturing, and shooting Jews in local towns, and burning homes with families inside while proceeding to murder soldiers and infants alike, all while showering thousands of rockets down on Israeli civilian centers.

Since, an anti-Israel protest erupted at the University of Washington last week wherein students were seen waving Palestinian flags and chanting for an “intifada”:

Meanwhile, the student groups behind Harvard University’s controversial “pro-terror” statement regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict organized a “die-in” Wednesday to protest “genocide in Gaza”:

Earlier in the week, Hawley appealed to the Department of Justice to examine any connections between pro-Palestinian student groups and Hamas.



Additionally, he asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to investigate “terrorist-linked aliens” at the southern border and sought the dismissal of a DHS employee over antisemitic online content favoring Hamas.

Leftists in Action: NY City Jewish Deli Vandalized with Swastika After Pro-Israel Social Media Posts (VIDEO)

Jeremy Lebewohl, the owner of the iconic New York City 2nd Ave Deli says he was shocked that the eatery was vandalized with a swastika after expressing support for Israel on social media.



Vandals painted anti-Semitic graffiti on his Upper East Side storefront a day after a tenant alerted him the eatery was defaced with a swastika.

Jeremy Lebewohl spoke with OAN: My initial reaction was just being shocked. I couldn’t believe that it was there. And then you have all the other emotions that would be obvious to be upset and sad about it, but I just said, okay, it is what it is. And unfortunately, to a certain extent, I’m somewhat jaded when it comes to anti Semitism and just Jew hatred in general in New York and the world. So I just posted on social media, and the silver lining was that so many people immediately were just shocked and horrified by it, and they wanted to stand up and say, no, that this is horrible. We don’t want it in our city…



…I think everyone has to feel the courage to say what’s right and wrong, and especially the past couple of years with different movements and different people being canceled for saying things that other people disagreed with. I think now is a time where something so horrible and horrific happened, and nobody should be ashamed or scared to stand up and say that rape is bad, that killing babies is bad, mutilating bodies is bad. This is something that everybody can say very confidently. And anyone who then wants to question that, challenge that or even cancel that individual, that person’s clearly standing on the wrong side of history and clearly has something very, very wrong with their moral compass.



Sadly a second swastika was found across the street of the deli.

Jeremy Lebewohl spoke with OAN on Friday.
