Many Jewish students are disgusted with the university’s behavior:

Harvard students and alumni are speaking out after the university announced it is suing the Trump administration rather than comply with its demands to address antisemitism on its campus.

"The government withheld funds from racist schools that refused to integrate. The Obama administration repeatedly threatened to withhold federal funds to sexist schools that refused to combat sexual assault. The Trump Administration's efforts are in no way an unprecedented threat on higher education. Should Harvard still like to enjoy American taxpayer money, they can simply choose to comply with federal law at any point," Harvard student Shabbos Kestenbaum told Fox News Digital. //

Every time someone says “as a Jew” right before minimizing Jew-hatred or covering for institutions that enable it, antisemites everywhere breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Alan Garber isn’t speaking as a Jew.
He’s speaking as a coward.

Beth Israel Hospital in Boston was founded in 1916 by the city’s Jewish community to address significant barriers faced by Jewish immigrants and Jewish medical professionals during an era marked by religious separatism and widespread anti-Semitism. At the time, Jewish patients and physicians often encountered discrimination at other hospitals, which limited both access to care and professional opportunities.

The Trump administration has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status. This status allows Harvard to avoid paying income and property taxes, and donations to Harvard provide leftist billionaires with massive tax deductions for charitable contributions. //

As that action gathers steam, the Department of Homeland Security is considering withdrawing Harvard's ability to matriculate foreign students. The concern here is the number of foreign students at Harvard who seem as interested in pro-Hamas demonstrations as they are in attending classes. //

Harvard was told that it had to eradicate the DEI filters it uses in admissions to bring its processes into compliance with federal law and Supreme Court rulings. It was also told to take positive action to suppress what appears to be an official policy of antisemitism, or at least pro-terrorism, by Harvard's administration. Fair dealing and protecting Jewish students from harassment and discrimination were just a bridge too far for Harvard President Alan Garber. "The administration’s prescription goes beyond the power of the federal government," he huffed. "It violates Harvard’s First Amendment rights and exceeds the statutory limits of the government’s authority under Title VI. And it threatens our values as a private institution devoted to the pursuit, production, and dissemination of knowledge. No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue."

He's missing the point. No one is requiring Harvard to do anything differently. The government is not threatening to take control. It is simply saying that if you wish to receive government benefits, you must comply with the same rules as any other educational institution and with federal law. Harvard's obeisance to DEI, for instance, runs up against two Supreme Court precedents. In Students for Fair Admissions vs. Harvard, the Supreme Court ruled that race was an impermissible factor in college admissions; see BREAKING: Supreme Court Rejects Race-Based College Admissions – RedState. The 1983 decision, Bob Jones University vs. United States, established that "The Government's fundamental, overriding interest in eradicating racial discrimination in education substantially outweighs whatever burden denial of tax benefits places on petitioners' exercise of their religious beliefs." //

This really isn't that difficult. Harvard allows Jewish students to be harassed on the basis of their religion- which is

1. Illegal at every level of government anywhere in the US. Those4 harassing Jewish students are committing prosecutable acts

2. By failing to provide a safe learning environment Harvard itself is in direct violation of multiple laws at both the Federal and State levels.

Team Trump was not amused:

"Harvard’s statement today reinforces the troubling entitlement mindset that is endemic in our nation's most prestigious universities and colleges – that federal investment does not come with the responsibility to uphold civil rights laws," the task force said. "The disruption of learning that has plagued campuses in recent years is unacceptable. The harassment of Jewish students is intolerable.

"It is time for elite universities to take the problem seriously and commit to meaningful change if they wish to continue receiving taxpayer support," the statement continued. "The Joint Task Force to combat anti-Semitism is announcing a freeze on $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60M in multi-year contract value to Harvard University." //

There is another way:

Refuse taxpayer money. //

I've been reporting on similar stories in recent months, and one thing has struck me: the unbelievable amount of federal dollars that are poured annually into these institutions. Harvard has an endowment of—sit down for this—$52 billion. You wouldn’t think they’d need much help now, would you? Yet they’re the beneficiary of nearly $9 billion in multi-year federal grants and contracts. For DOGE's next trick, I would encourage them to find out where the heck that massive pile of money is going (not only at Harvard but at many other schools as well). //

Hillsdale, FTW. Literally the finest college in the country. Founded as an abolitionist school in 1844, never took a penny of government money, kids are wicked smart, most love the Lord, and they stand alone against government oppression. For instance, their stance on Covid (seems so long ago....) was epic and fearless.

January 27, 2025

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi concentration camp in Poland that stood at the center of the Holocaust and focus for their systematic slaughter of the Jewish people. Between 1940 and 1945, more than one million Jews, religious leaders, disabled persons, and other innocent victims were viciously and mercilessly executed in Auschwitz at the hands of the evil Nazi regime — culminating in one of the darkest chapters in human history. On this solemn day, America joins the Jewish community, the people of Poland, and the entire world in mourning the lives lost, the souls battered, the heroes forgotten, and the countless men and women who gave their lives for the cause of freedom. //

As we commemorate this somber occasion, we pay tribute to the undying spirit of the Jewish community. We reaffirm our commitment to educating our children and every future generation about the horrors that took place within the confines of Auschwitz and other concentration and death camps. We renew our resolve to end anti-Semitism and religious bigotry of all forms. We proudly reassert our strong bonds of friendship with the State of Israel. And we declare the timeless truth that every human being is a child of God and inherently worthy of dignity and respect.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 27, 2025, as a National Day of Remembrance of the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. On this day, I call upon every American citizen to observe this day with programs, ceremonies, and prayers commemorating the victims of the Holocaust and honoring the sacrifices of the men and women who helped liberate the victims of the Nazis at Auschwitz.

JENNINGS: In the run-up to the Persian Gulf War, he wrote letters to all of our allies and to Arab states, asking them to abandon their cooperation and coalition with the United States of America. If it's not treasonous, it's borderline treasonous, and so I hear what you're saying about the humanitarianism, but when you're an ex-president, and you have served in that office, I think you have a duty to the United States and only to the United States, and when he did that and other instances, to me, it showed that he cared more about his own legacy than he did about the country, and I think that is wrong. //

“The antisemitic actions and rhetoric that Ireland is taking against Israel are based on delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and on double standards,” says Foreign Minister Gideon] Sa’ar in a statement. “Ireland has crossed all red lines in its relationship with Israel. Israel will invest its resources in promoting bilateral relations with the countries of the world according to priorities that are also derived from the attitude of the various countries towards it.”

At the same time, Sa’ar announces that Israel will open an embassy in Moldova, which already has an embassy in Israel. The opening is expected to occur in the next year, and Israel is beginning the process of finding a site and appointing an ambassador.

“There are countries that are interested in strengthening their ties with Israel and do not yet have an Israeli embassy,” says Sa’ar. “We will adjust the Israeli diplomatic structure of our missions while giving weight, among other things, to the approach and actions of the various countries towards Israel in the political arena.”. //

I have known a few Irish, including natives, not just expats and immigrants. The Irish seem to have a reflexive response to side with rebels and underdogs, no matter the cause or politics. They love Palestinians, Cubans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Iranians, and anyone fighting a bigger force. I honestly think if some whacky Ayn Rand inspired insurgency sought to overthrow the government of Canada, the Irish would send them military aid.

Maybe that's why my Irish friends in college seemed to only pick bar fights when the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against us.

I am speechless. Amsterdam Police just confirmed that NO ONE has been arrested during the Islamic Jewhunt in Amsterdam Thursday night. All arrests have been made before and during the soccer match and NOT during the pogrom. 😡

The pogrom was unleashed just days ahead of November 9, also marked as the Reichskristallnacht or the ‘Night of Broken Glass,’ a date remembered for the 1938 Nazi pogroms against German Jews in the run-up to the Holocaust.

Multiple outlets are reporting that anti-Israel mobs are chasing down Israelis and savagely beating them on the streets of Amsterdam Thursday following a soccer game between Maccabi Tel Aviv FC and Amsterdam's Ajax.

As of this writing, dozens of extremely disturbing videos are being posted to X depicting violent beatings as individuals are surrounded and then pummeled. //

The restaurant worker then pointed out that she was, in fact, pulling down the Greek flag. Her response?

What? What is this? Oh, I thought this was Israel. My bad.

When admonished by the restaurant staff that it was not okay for her to behave like that, the Hamas supporter tried to hand back the now-destroyed bunting she had torn down and said she'd have to look it up to make sure it wasn't the Israeli flag. Perhaps something she might have done before making an absolute fool of herself, then, astonishingly, posting the video for all the world to see. //

It doesn't matter that these were Greek-themed (except to show her complete ignorance and stupidity). It matters that she felt she could tear them down with impunity because she thought they were Israeli flags. Does that happen to Palestinian and Arabic-themed flags and paraphernalia?

Venture capitalist David Magerman, who previously donated $5 million to the University of Pennsylvania, halted his financial support of the institution shortly after the outbreak of the war in Gaza. His decision was prompted by the school’s refusal to take action against the spread of antisemitism on campus and its failure to protect Jewish students from members of the pro-Hamas crowd, which held numerous demonstrations on the premises while threatening Jewish students.

Magerman recently announced that he plans to reallocate the funds he previously sent to UPenn to five Israeli colleges in $1 million increments. These include Tel Aviv University, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Bar-Ilan University, and Jerusalem College of Technology.

“I don’t see much value generated by giving to American universities. I think that liberal colleges in America are flawed institutions that are doing a poor job of preparing students for the real world,” he told Fox News.

Magerman urged other donors to follow his lead, arguing that universities are not “reformable.”

Asked what his message is to other prominent Jewish donors still contributing to Ivy League schools, Magerman said pointedly, "Stop." He said it's naive to believe that elite U.S. universities are "reformable."

"They're fulfilling the mission they want to fulfill. Their goal, it seems, is to indoctrinate their students to question the validity of Western civilization, to question the value of the Founding Fathers and to criticize Western society. I don't think that's what these philanthropists believe and I don't think that they should be donating money to support propagating that ideology," said Magerman.

Other high-profile donors have taken similar steps. Ross Stevens, CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, canceled a $100 million donation to UPenn in December over similar concerns.

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. //

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.

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?
