Thousands of pro-Hamas protesters marched in Manhattan on Monday to demonstrate against Israeli military action against terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Video footage circulating on social media shows the protesters walking through the street waving flags representing terrorist entities while shouting antisemitic slogans. This development comes amid ongoing demonstrations against the Jewish state for its effort to eliminate Hamas after it carried out a surprise attack on October 7, slaughtering civilians.
Trump wrote:
"The highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, made a really bad and poorly delivered speech talking about freedom and fighting for Comrade Kamala Harris for President, yet she hates Israel and will do nothing but make its journey through the complexities of survival as difficult as possible, hoping in the end that it will fail. Judge only by her actions!" //

This is a great example of Trump's lack of discipline and focus.
Trump is not antisemtic. That's absurd. The left is. They know it. We know it. They are lying.
If Trump had left off "Jewish", attacked Shapiro, and then said that the Democrats wouldn't pick him for VP because he was Jewish and they hate Jews, he would have made the point he needs to make. I think that's what he meant and that Shapiro was happy supporting a party that wants to see Israel destroyed. He could have mentioned that as well.
Instead, his sloppy rhetoric gives them an opening to lie. Then the right has to come to his defense and explain what Trump meant and how they lie instead of highlighting how antisemitic the left is.
It's just beyond frustrating that he can't stop doing this after 8 years of stepping on rakes. I want to win. This stuff doesn't help. We know we've got to fight against the media, pop culture and the Demonic party. We don't need to score goals on ourselves, especially on an issue we should be beating them with. They've got terrorists outside and inside their convention demanding genocide agaisnt Jews, not us.
Analysis: “It has never been about Israel, it has always been about destroying the freedoms and liberties of the West.”
It's Orwellian, and a sign of just how far Democrats are willing to go to hold onto power. This should be a lesson to Jewish Americans. Despite past perceptions, Shapiro is no different than Bernie Sanders. He's not going to have your back when politics gets in the way. He's willing to throw Israel and Jews under the bus if it means winning the votes of rabid antisemites who chant things like "from the river to the sea." //

We now live in a post Judeo-Christian society where there are no absolutes of right and wrong. Lying and deception are now acceptable if they advance your cause. The dem party is just about completely infused with this thinking and some in the GOP are no better. Until we acknowledge that our Creator has standards of right and wrong (e.g. the Ten Commandments) which we should follow, we will continue to sink lower and wallow in our evil in a completely chaotic world...
MORGAN: Well, there is, but I don't think that all of these protesters are pro-Hamas. I think you're making...
MURRAY: Right, and the difference is whether you have a large artillery behind you.
MORGAN: You don't honestly think they're all pro-Hamas, these people.
MURRAY: Well, well, I think that anyone who for instance chants things like From the River to the Sea is, in fact, what I described and is criminally ignorant. Oh, well they are, there were masses of idiots marching past Westminster Abbey last week saying exactly that.
MORGAN: Yeah, but they're not all doing it (crosstalk) I've watched the videos. There are some who are chanting and some who aren't.
MURRAY: Okay, well here's a challenge, Piers. If you decided to go on some kind of march and in week one you discovered that you had the BMP calling, for instance, for the murder of all black people, would you not wonder whether or not you should go on week two? Would you not drop out by week three? I would have thought so, I would.
MORGAN: That's a good question...yes, I would. //
There's a lot said in the exchange, but Murray's primary push was to point out that Hamas and its supporters are not just oppressed individuals who can be reasoned with. They aren't a population you can import and assimilate with the hope that they'll respect and become a viable part of Western civilization. Hamas and those chanting "from the river to the sea" are sustained by death and destruction. It is their very identity, and we are seeing that play out in Western cities across the globe.
As Murray explains, even the Nazis attempted to hide their atrocities. Hamas sympathizers are proud of theirs and proclaim them publicly. Because of that, they should be seen as at least as barbaric as Hitler's movement was. In fact, it's reasonable to say that Hamas is simply a modern extension of Nazism. Instead of reacting accordingly, police forces from London to New York City are standing idly by as the violence escalates. Why? Because those perpetrating it are intersectional and thus untouchable.
How does that end? How does Western civilization survive when hundreds of thousands of people are marching through the streets calling for genocide while the authorities only enforce the law against those who would stand against them?
The West is paralyzed by fear. //
The waters are being tested right now.
The substance of the ruling is not specific, but generally demands Israel live up to its obligations under the genocide convention. It did not “order” an immediate ceasefire. It’s a toothless order, but will be used against Israel despite it not being a finding that Israel committed genocide. //
If anyone thought the “International Court of Justice” a function of the U.N. General Assembly would give Israel a fair hearing on South Africa’s fraudulent charge of genocide, you don’t understant the U.N. at all. //
The only bright spot was the statement at the end that the ICJ expresses concerns for the hostages and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. //

Right after ICJ released its ruling on South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, Hamas fires a barrage of rockets towards communities in southern Israel-including those struck by the terror group on Oct.7. Coincidence?

He is right and he knows it and we all know it. The Democrats have a number of Nazi era planks to be debated at their convention in Chicago, and the fact that rounding up Jews is unlikely to be adopted is not exactly comforting. ]This is the first time a major party will take up Jewish expulsion in an American election since Lincoln and Grant tried to introduce such positions in to the Republican platforms in 1864 and 1868 and, of course, they did expel the Jews from the United States, so its not a great precedent.

Actually, General Order No. 11 was issued by Grant in 1862, effective only in the then Dept. of the Tennessee and was limited to TN, KY, MS. No one was expelled from the US, and when Pres. Lincoln found out about the order, he rescinded it immediately.
Hatred of Jews has been, sadly, a part of US history more often than not.

Grant was trying to eliminate illegal cotton smuggling from the South to speculators in the North. When Lincoln got wind if it he ordered Grant to back off.
"... A paper purporting to be General Orders, No. 11, issued by you December 17, has been presented here. By its terms, it expells [sic] all Jews from your department. If such an order has been issued, it will be immediately revoked. ..."
You need to read whatever informed your ignorance more closely.

Grant formally rescinded the order, January 17, 1863, within three weeks after Lincoln revoked the order.
What happened on Sunday goes beyond protesting. This, and not moms going to school board meetings to demand that they be included in decisions about their children's education, is domestic terrorism, as defined by the FBI:
"Domestic Terrorism for the FBI’s purposes is referenced in U.S. Code at 18 U.S.C. 2331(5), and is defined as activities: Involving acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; Appearing to be intended to: Intimidate or coerce a civilian population; Influence the policy of government by intimidation or coercion; or Affect the conduct of a government ... //
What occurred Sunday is also not an isolated incident; since the November 2023 murder of a Jewish man, Paul Kessler, in nearby Thousand Oaks by pro-Hamas agitator Loay Alnaji during a so-called protest there have been violent demonstrations throughout Southern California by a coordinated group of terroristic, antisemitic thugs. Alnaji's Muslim Student Association group at Moorpark College proudly attends some of these intimidation rallies around Los Angeles, and we know that there is coordination going on nationwide. That makes this a federal issue that should be vigorously investigated by the US Department of Justice, but they're instead worrying about prosecuting pro-life grandmas who protest outside abortion clinics and doubling down on political intimidation by continuing to work to identify and indict Americans who were exercising their First Amendment rights on January 6. //
The public must know who has been calling the shots and who's been telling law enforcement officers to stand down and allow domestic terrorism to flourish. If it's been politicians calling the shots, that practice must end. Police chiefs need to know that they have the authority to do their jobs without political interference, and the Jewish community needs the reassurance that they will be protected.
A shocking discovery has surfaced that Yale University failed to disclose over $15 million dollars in donations from Qatar, the Middle Eastern country that is housing senior Hamas leaders.
The timing could not be worse for the university's reputation after the antisemitism that has been displayed in colleges across the nation over the last eight months. //
The report also states that Qatar has been the largest international donor to American universities since September 11th, and has given a whopping $5.6 billion since 2007. Top recipients are Ivy League schools such as Yale, Harvard, Stanford, and Cornell.
This would explain a lot. //
Our universities are being bought by anti-American countries that want to infiltrate our culture, politics, and ideology, and they're succeeding.
In light of the current passion for accurate "bookkeeping," Yale should be made to answer for this illegal activity. Moreover, steps need to be taken to protect the integrity of our academic institutions. If they can be so easily bought by our enemies, what's next?

For those romanticizing the protests occurring on college campuses, “Death to America!” is one sentiment that runs counter to what we believe in, what we stand for, and what many have fought for on behalf of this country. And if you think the words written on this piece of paper are disturbing … you should hear the vile, disgusting, hateful, & threatening words coming out of the mouths of far too many of these so called “peaceful protestors.” //

When World War I ended, the Ottoman Empire was no more. Jews began returning to the land of their biblical forefathers, given to them by God, as foretold in Scripture. The British government promised to create a new Jewish state in 1917 (the Balfour Declaration).
International organizations like the UN intervened in drawing up boundary proposals for the new state. Jews agreed to all, Palestinian Arabs agreed to none. Unlike in Arab lands where Jews were being deported, the new Israel welcomed Palestinians and invited them to be part of a nation reborn. Anticipating a war, Palestinian leaders implored their people to leave their homes and fight alongside their Arab brothers. Many Arabs did, leaving their homes, hoping to come back when the new nation was aborted. Five Arab nations invaded, but lost. The Arabs that left their homes wanted back, but Israel said, ‘Not so fast.’ No nation with any sense would allow enemies to return and take root. Thus, Israel was born in 1948, taking up about 0.2% of the Middle East, the size of New Jersey. And yet, there are groups that want to further divide Israel.
No private property was ever confiscated from an Arab. Every piece of private property obtained from Palestinians was purchased. //
Hamas was founded in 1987. They are an Islamic fundamentalist group, and by the very core of their being, they will never accept a Jewish state.
In 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza, giving the Palestinians their own land. Some will remember news broadcasts of Israeli soldiers, sometimes forcefully, moving fellow Israelis out of their homes around Gaza and the West Bank.
It is important to note that every time Israel gave Palestinians land, it became a base of operations to attack Israel. It would be like giving Michigan to terrorists, then ducking missiles from Dearborn.
In 2006, the Palestinians voted, giving Hamas much more power than they had, a clear plurality. The Fatah Party of Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority, was losing its grip on the people. In 2007, Hamas launched a bloody campaign against Fatah and took complete control over Gaza. Since then, Palestinians haven’t held an election.
Hamas began conducting terrorist attacks in Israel, killing 506 and wounding thousands. //
We know the history of Germany in 1938. Think it can’t happen here? It can, and it is. Eisenhower warned that this could happen. Turn around and observe what our political parties, globalists, bureaucrats, media, academics, distant parents, corporate scum, and unlimited government types have created. Then you will understand.
“I’m always confused why we’re not talking about that more…Why are we protesting? I can’t end that war. Joe Biden can’t end that war. Netanyahu can’t end that war. But Hamas could end it right now immediately. They could release the last hostage, and they could surrender. All of the misery and the death and the destruction ends right there, too. For a true peace, you cannot allow Hamas to allow it to function. They’ve been very clear. They’re proud of what we’ve done, and we’re going to do it again and again. It’s very reasonable to make sure that Hamas needs to be neutralized.”

USCPR provides up to $7,800 for its community-based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus-based “fellows” in return for spending eight hours a week organizing “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.”
They are trained to “rise up, to revolution.”
The radical group received at least $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2017 and also took in $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019.
At the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens. //
One thing is key: They are trained to "rise up, to revolution." You can see their actual training materials here. //
It is becoming apparent that these protests are not spontaneous. They are not organic to the locations where they are taking place. Spontaneous, organic protests don't involve PowerPoint training slides and legions of people sleeping in dozens of mysteriously identical tents. Spontaneous, organic protests don't receive logistical support from shadowy organizations funded by Hungarian-American billionaires who got rich with currency manipulation schemes. No, these protests were planned, organized, and financed, and now we know who is behind the financing.

It's also important to note that the "settler state" is not just Israel. They also regard the United States as a "settler state." You can see here on X the huge hammer that they carried during the protests in NYC, that says "From the US to Palestine, abolish the settler state." Thousands of people walked behind that sign. They marched through NYC calling for an end to the United States, at least as presently constituted. Not exactly a comforting thought when we've already seen how extreme some of these folks can be.
If that wasn't clear enough, University of Minnesota Professor Melanie Yazzie spelled it out during a wild video taken at an indigenous anti-Israel event that you can see on X. "We're all indigenous people who come from nations who are under occupation by the United States government," she said.
And, of course, the U.S. bankrolls the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. They’re one and the same, really.
So it’s our responsibility as people who are within the United States to go as hard as possible to decolonize this place because that will reverberate all across the world. Because the U.S. is the greatest predator empire that has ever existed.
We want U.S. out of everywhere. We want U.S. out of Palestine. We want U.S. out of Turtle Island. Right? And that the goal is to dismantle the settler project that is the United States for the freedom and the future of all life on this planet. It very much depends on that.
In case it wasn't clear, "Turtle Island" refers to North America that they want to "decolonize" and get the U.S. out of. //

Nobody is afraid of them, or even their movement. In open conflict, they would all be dead within a month.
What we fear, is having to kill the to protect ourselves. When you advocate genocide against those that are stronger than you, it is a recipe for your own demise.
The only new twist in this historical drama, is that the victors would feel bad at having been forced to kill you.
These morons wouldn't feel guiltily raping and murdering you, but they are not actually decent people. They are damaged individuals who want to justify their violent urges, but they are a tiny minority, it is just the have forgotten the latter fact.
My appearance on the Mark Reardon Show about antisemitism on campuses: “Jews end up becoming a proxy for everything that these groups hate about our own society. So if you did one of Kamala Harris’s Venn diagrams and you had things that were over overlapping … anti-American, anti-Capitalist, anti-Israel, there is a huge overlap.”

Our Three Blind Mice
“Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run…”
The recent testimonies of the three university presidents (Claudine Gay of Harvard, Sally Kornbluth of MIT, and... University of Pennsylvania’s Liz McGill) concerning their inaction about endemic anti-Semitism on their campuses have probably done more damage to higher education than any recent event in memory. (And note there was not a white, male, heterosexual supposed oppressor to be found among the enlightened). …
The three blind mice could not even lie well. Like nearly all contemporary university presidents, they have long revoked admissions, suspended students, or relieved faculty from teaching for any language, expression, or advocacy they considered incorrect, which translates as anything not compatible with wokism or DEI. Invoking ‘freedom of speech’ to disguise their moral cowardice is pathetic when they have never on their campuses believed in freedom of speech. One incorrect word about someone trans, a misplaced pronoun, or a clumsy reference to a non-white student, and the offender would be punished immediately—followed by the usual performance-art, virtue-signaling, “this is not who we are”/“there is no place for such hatred on this campus” memo from a careerist dean or bully provost. …

More of the myth that Muslims are being subjected to hate crimes!! in this country.
In 2022
Religion-Based Crimes: There were 2,042 reported incidents based on religion. More than half of these (1,122) were driven by anti-Jewish bias. Incidents involving anti-Muslim (158) and anti-Sikh (181) sentiments remained at similar levels compared to 2021.
*Note that there were nearly 10x as many Jewh8 crimes as (boo-hoo) crimes against Muslims. But we’re led to believe these number are skyrocketing. //

Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status.
This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error. Indeed, it may turn out to be a fatal error.
With the outburst of unprecedented levels of antisemitism, American Jews are living the famous warning: “Beware what you wish for; you just may get it.”
The primary reason American Jews have lived in the most Jew-friendly, even Jew-honoring, country in history is that most Americans have been Christian. But we must make a key distinction here. American Christians have been not just Christian, as Europe was, but Judeo-Christian. //
In a famous study published in the American Political Science Review, Donald Lutz, a professor of political science at the University of Houston, surveyed the political literature of the American founding. He found that the Bible was cited more frequently than any other work or any other author. The Bible accounted for approximately one-third of the Founders’ citations. The single most frequently cited work was Deuteronomy, the fifth of the five books of the Torah.
The late great Catholic theologian Michael Novak wrote that the roots of the doctrine that “all men are created equal lie in Judaism, carried around the world by Christians.”
As American society and Americans individually become less religious, i.e., less Christian, the Jews become less significant.
Yet, many, perhaps most, American Jews, have bought—and promulgated—the idea that Jewish security in America lies in secularizing, i.e., de-Christianizing, America. //
Look around, my fellow Jews. Are you happy with the results of the secularization of America? Do you feel more secure? Or less?
I ask you: Is it not obvious that when more Americans attended church every Sunday, America’s Jews were far more secure?

What other evidence do we need that this isn't about peaceful Muslims just seeking a secular utopia? It is clear that this is about the "Palestinian" pursuit of genocide against Jews, and they keep telling everyone that. Why else would they go out of their way to partially destroy a memorial to a man whose only sin is being Jewish? That wasn't a memorial to the State of Israel they threw red paint on and scrawled "free Palestine" on.
Understand that these people do not want to assimilate and live in unity. They want to conquer. Unable to do so militarily, Islamists have settled on activism as a means to enact their will, and they've found willing allies in naive, vapid leftists who see everything through the prism of the oppressed and the oppressor. It doesn't matter that no entity in history has oppressed and colonized more people than Islam. Muslims are generally poor and generally not white (at least not in the contemporary sense). Thus, according to liberal orthodoxy, they garner a high-ranking position on the intersectional hierarchy.
