Crickets when Muslims kill Christians, Hindus, Druze and Jews, but there's screaming when Jews defend themselves

This is what Hamas wants to see

Isn't it bewildering how the geniuses at Ivy League schools like Columbia and Harvard demonstrate in the streets and on campuses in support of barbaric extremists who seek to destroy Israel, even after the Jewish States was attacked on October 7, 2023 by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and others? They believe that they are the virtuous ones all while hiding their Jew hatred. Some hide it from themselves, some don't hide it at all.

No matter what "the Jews" do, they are always in the wrong. Even the attack on young people dancing at a music festival, killing 378 individuals, 344 who were civilians and 34 security personnel, according to The Times of Israel, wasn't enough to gain the sympathy of the haters. 

Then there was the kidnapping of 251 individuals, 221 of whom were civilians including foreign nationals, 24 soldiers, and Negev Bedouins.

The breakdown of the captives: 92 women and 36 children were among the hostages, including 9-month-old Kfir Bibas and his 4-year-old brother Ariel along with their mother, Shiri. There was another baby under a year old but the exact identity is not revealed.

Several elderly people were also kidnapped but the exact numbers vary.

But somehow it was the fault of the Jews, the so called 'occupiers' of a land they occupied before the geo-political religion of Islam was invented by a man who terrorized the Middle East, committed pedophilia, and hated the Jews.

Israel has been accused of genocide by the same dolts and propagandists who either hide the truth or refuse to see it. In the year Israel gained its independence, 1948, the non-Jewish population (mostly Arab Muslims, Arab Christians and Druze) was 156,000, By 1970, this population nearly tripled and by 1970 had climbed to 1,413,900. By 2015 it reached 2,078,000 and last year hit 2,653,000. If that's genocide, then we need to change the definition.

On the other hand, when you look at the countries in the Middle East, there are no Jews in most of them and so few in others you can get them all on a bus and head them out to Israel for relative safety.

Meanwhile, there are terrorist atrocities going on in the world like the ones perpetrated by Hamas against Israel and not one large US protest, to my knowledge, has taken place.

Just last month, on April 22nd, there was a jihadi attack at Pahalgam in the Jammu-Kashmir district in which 25 people were murdered and 20 injured. Most of the victims were tourists, one was Christian the others Hindu. There were no cries or demands for retribution at Columbia, Harvard or at any campus or street corner. Crickets.

In Nigeria during Easter, over 72 Christians were slaughtered by Muslims during a church service and earlier that month, over 60 Christians were murdered in the Plateau State. Again, nobody said 'boo.'

And we all know about the Syrian Civil War that began in 2011 that nobody at home here protested in spite of the fact that between 580,000 to 656,493 people were killed, as per the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). The groups we know that were responsible was ISIS, al-Qaeda affiliates such as Jabhat al Nusra and Hayat Tahrir al Sham. 

Still the silence was deafening.

But boy oh boy, when Israel returns fire at missile launch sites that are embedded in civilian areas, and Hamas' human shields are killed or injured, it's the fault of the Jews. 

What are they supposed to do when fired upon? After all, they even warn civilians when the IAF plans to strike a building in Gaza, which probably gave the terrorists time to move hostages. 

People feel sympathy for dead Jews and hatred for the living ones. 

Jews are hated when they're poor; they're hated when they're rich. They are hated when they have no place to go--"those wandering Jews"--and they're hated when they have their Biblical land returned to them.

And the biggest haters of them all are the extremist Muslims. They will come for the Jews now and come for everyone else later if we sit back and watch.

Trump team to audit $9,000,000,000 in Harvard grants, contracting anti-Semitism

Harvard University, once a towering beacon of intellectual rigor, now stands trembling at the edge of a self-inflicted abyss, its prestige unraveling like a cheap suit in a storm, or falling away like toilet paper on a shoe.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, a figure whose steely resolve could make even the most sanctimonious progressive squirm, has laid down the gauntlet with devastating precision: “Harvard’s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic discrimination—all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry—has put its reputation in serious jeopardy.” 

And so it has. 

The Trump administration, never one to mince words or dawdle in the face of moral rot, declared on a crisp Monday that it would launch a “comprehensive review” of the $9 billion in federal grants and contracts propping up this faltering Ivy League titan—all because Harvard couldn’t muster the spine to shield its Jewish students from a rising tide of bigotry.

The machinery of accountability is already in motion. A joint task force—comprising the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, alongside the U.S. General Services Administration—has pledged to dissect “more than $255.6 million in contracts between Harvard University, its affiliates and the federal government,” not to mention “more than $8.7 billion in multi-year grant commitments.” These are numbers so astronomical they could fund a small nation, yet they’ve been squandered on an institution that seems more enamored with ideological posturing than safeguarding its own. 

McMahon, with a clarity that cuts through the fog of academic self-delusion, reflected on Harvard’s legacy: “Harvard has served as a symbol of the American dream for generations—the pinnacle aspiration for students all over the world to work hard and earn admission to the storied institution.” But then came the hammer blow: “Harvard’s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic discrimination—all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry—has put its reputation in serious jeopardy.”

Yet, ever the pragmatist, she offered a lifeline: “Harvard can right these wrongs and restore itself to a campus dedicated to academic excellence and truth-seeking, where all students feel safe on its campus.” A noble sentiment, though one wonders if Harvard’s leadership—steeped in the pieties of the age—has the stomach for such a return to first principles. 

Meanwhile, the announcement pointed to Columbia University, where a similar federal reckoning forced a list of nine Trump administration demands, including a ban on masked protests—an absurdity that should never have needed banning. Columbia’s interim president, caught in the crosshairs of this mess, fled the scene on a Friday, perhaps retreating to ponder the wreckage over a consolatory cup of latte.

The U.S. agencies are not playing games. They’ve signaled they could slap stop-work orders on Harvard’s contracts or, if the university’s noncompliance with federal rules is laid bare, sever the financial umbilical cord entirely. Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service, put it with a firmness that brooks no dissent: “This administration has proven that we will take swift action to hold institutions accountable if they allow antisemitism to fester. We will not hesitate to act if Harvard fails to do so.” Here is a rare instance of government speaking plainly, without the usual varnish of equivocation.

So Harvard stands at a precipice, its fate dangling like a condemned man awaiting the noose. Will it summon the courage to confront its failures, or will it sink further into the morass of cowardice and conformity? The answer lies not in the stars, but in the choices of those who roam its ivy-clad corridors—choices that, for now, seem woefully out of reach.

Especially out of reach for the moral cowards.

Trump administration starts anti-Semitism investigations into 55 universities

Linda McMahon, US Education Secretary

The United States Department of Education (DOE) has unleashed a fusillade against the festering sore of campus anti-Semitism, adding dozens of colleges and universities to its list of institutions facing investigation for civil rights violations. 

This is no mere bureaucratic shuffle, but a reckoning for those elite bastions of learning that have allowed the poison of Jew-hatred to seep into their not so hallowed halls.

“The department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite US campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless anti-Semitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year,” declared Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Monday, her words cutting through the fog of moral equivocation like a blade. “US colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by US taxpayers. That support is a privilege, and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal anti-discrimination laws.” 

One can almost hear the echoes of a bygone era when such plain speaking was the norm, not the exception.

McMahon named 55 institutions—public and private—in this latest salvo, a roster that includes the likes of Harvard University, Swarthmore College, Drexel University, and Princeton University. These are not new names to those who have tracked the rising tide of anti-Semitic filth lapping at the shores of American academia. 

At Harvard, the rot runs deep. 

Since Hamas’s barbaric invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, the university has become a grotesque carnival of anti-Semitic excess. Its law school student government issued a resolution falsely accusing Israel of genocide—a libel as old as it is vicious. Students quoted terrorists during an “Apartheid Week” event in April, while dozens of students and faculty joined an illegal pro-Hamas encampment, rubbing shoulders with a group that peddled an anti-Semitic cartoon straight out of Der Stürmer’s playbook. Many openly cheered Hamas’s atrocities—sexual assault, child abduction, the full medieval panoply—while a mob, led by the president of the Harvard Law Review no less, hounded a Jewish student, shrieking “Shame! Shame! Shame!” into his ears. 

Harvard fought like a cornered rat to discredit lawsuits alleging its complicity in this discriminatory cesspit, eventually settling some out of court. But Shabbos Kestenbaum, a graduate of the Harvard Divinity and with a backbone of steel, refused to let the university slink away from accountability. 

Swarthmore College offers its own tableau of disgrace. There, Students for Justice in Palestine stormed Parrish Hall garbed as Hamas fighters, their faces swathed in keffiyehs like latter-day bandits. They bellowed slogans through bullhorns, battered locked doors, and tried to breach offices barricaded against their fury. Their comrades smuggled food past security’s lockdown, while others sparked a physical clash with guards, hurling expletives like shrapnel. The administration finally barred SJP from campus, but only after the damage was done—a belated gesture that reeks of cowardice.

Drexel University in Philadelphia saw its own “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” in May, a spectacle so overrun with outsiders that the campus had to be locked down. Weeks earlier, the Raymond G. Perelman Center for Jewish Life was defaced by cowardly masked vandals who tore away letters spelling out Perelman’s name—an act of petty spite amid a broader surge of antisemitic hate crimes across the nation.

Then there’s Princeton, where the Department of Near Eastern Studies peddles a book accusing the Israel Defense Forces of “maiming” Palestinians and harvesting their organs. This is not scholarship; it is blood libel dressed up as academic inquiry, a sinister echo of medieval anti-Semitic tropes. The International Legal Forum rightly called it out for what it is: a conspiratorial smear designed to inflame hatred.

The Trump administration, since taking office in January, has moved with a speed and decisiveness that shames its predecessors. On Friday, it yanked $400 million in funding from Columbia University, a sharp rebuke to a school accused of sheltering antisemitic faculty, students, and staff. Before that, President Trump issued an executive order that promises to wield “all appropriate legal tools to prosecute, remove, or otherwise … hold to account perpetrators of unlawful antisemitic harassment and violence.” 

One provision targets “alien” student extremists for deportation—those who have lent intellectual and material succor to groups like Hamas, fueling the campus chaos. A federal judge in Manhattan has stalled this in one case, involving a Columbia alumnus nabbed by ICE for orchestrating the Hamilton Hall takeover last spring. 

If you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee. Thank you.

Trump, unbowed, took to Truth Social: “This is the first of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other universities across the country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, antisemitism, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it. Many are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country—never to return again.”

Here is a government that grasps what the chattering classes refuse to see: that this is not a matter of hurt feelings or academic squabbles, but a civilizational struggle against those who would cheer the slaughter of innocents and call it justice. The universities, bloated with taxpayer largesse, have had their day of reckoning deferred too long. Let it come now, and let it be thorough.

Anti-Israel/anti-Semitic violent protesters at Barnard College arrested

More protests broke out on Thursday at Barnard College, in New York City, after a group of more than 50 anti-Israel Jew-hating Islamists took over a building on campus the day before.

The NYPD made several arrests after the protests reignited, with about 100 anti-Israel protesters gathering in front of the entrance to Barnard, once again wearing masks and keffiyehs and chanting, "Free Palestine," a place that only exists in their minds.

Tension rose and became more chaotic as protesters marched from Barnard to CUNY's City College campus, to protest outside Gov. Kathy Hochul's event at CUNY, which was canceled due to the anticipated protest and her fear of getting involved.

The protesters were heard chanting criticisms of Hochul and "NYPD KKK," and tried to breach police barricades and get close to officers' faces. The irony is that the Jew-hating protesters are indistinguishable from the KKK when it comes to their racist hatred.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), spoke out against the protests.

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH," Johnson wrote in a post on X.

"Pro-Hamas mobs have NO place on our college campuses. Barnard College & Columbia University must put an end to the anti-Semitic chaos on campus."

Robin Levine, Barnard’s vice president for strategic communications, confirmed that a faculty member was injured during Wednesday's protest and sent to the hospital, but did not offer further details, in spite of her being Jewish but not wanting to get labeled Islamophobic.

"They encouraged others to enter campus without identification, showing blatant disregard for the safety of our community," Levine said in a previous statement.

The school warned that if the students were not gone by 9:30 p.m., officials would be forced to take "additional, necessary measures to protect our campus." 

Power hoses might suffice.

The protesters began leaving the building by 11 p.m., according to reports by FOX 5 New York as it was for many, their bedtime.

The students were protesting the expulsion of two students who stormed a Columbia University classroom in January and allegedly threw around flyers filled with hateful, anti-Semitic speech.

Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, a place they cannot show us on a map, displayed videos on X of masked students in a hallway on Wednesday, beating on drums and chanting on megaphones.

The account also posted a list of demands accompanied by "WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET. FREE PALESTINE."

If they get arrested, they will stop.

The demands include an "immediate reversal of the two Barnard students’ expulsions" and "amnesty for all students disciplined for pro-Palestine action or thought. Drop all the charges now!" 

Sorry, children, but people who commit crimes must be held accountable, as I hope you soon find out in a more personal way.

The protesters also requested a public meeting with Dean Leslie Grinage and President Laura Rosenbury, and the abolition of the "corrupt Barnard disciplinary process," demanding complete transparency for current, past and future disciplinary proceedings.

The students vowed that they will continue to disrupt the campus until these demands are met, so they obviously need to be held accountable.

We shall see, but don't hold your breath.

Pro-Israel organization prepares list of pro-Hamassholes, hoping Trump will deport them

A pro-Israel organization, Betar, is compiling names of foreign students on visas in the US who spewed anti-Israel bile at campus protests — and is hoping President Trump will give the haters a one-way ticket back home.

So far, the group has about 30 names of students from countries like Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Canada, and the United Kingdom, currently studying at some of the nation's top universities, including Columbia, UPenn, Michigan, Syracuse, UCLA, The New School for Social Research, Carnegie Mellon, and George Washington University.

"We have started commencing lists of Jew-hating foreign nationals on visas who support Hamas," said Ross Glick, director of the US chapter of Betar.

The organization Betar is compiling lists of foreigners who have taken part in antisemitic protests on college campuses over the last year.

Betar has identified these individuals using a combination of facial recognition software and "relationship database technology" to sort out those who participated in antisemitic campus protests over the past year.

"One of our issues is processing power, there is just so much video to work through," Glick said.

Betar is already in touch with "prospective" Trump administration appointees in the Justice Department about the best way to act on those identified, Glick mentioned.

Among those on the list is Momodou Taal, a British national and PhD candidate in Africana studies at Cornell University, who was suspended twice for his involvement in two on-campus Palestinian protests, the most recent in September. University officials initially informed Taal that his F-1 visa might be revoked due to this incident, according to Newsweek. However, the Ivy League institution later reversed its decision.

Weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack in Israel, Trump promised to deport foreign students who voiced support for radical Islamic terrorism. He repeated this promise to donors in May.

"When I am president we will not allow our colleges to be taken over by violent radicals. If you come from another country and try to bring jihadism or anti-Americanism or anti-Semitism to our campuses we will immediately deport you. You’ll be out of that school," Trump said at a rally that same month.

Said Glick: "We are strongly supportive of the Trump Administration’s plan to deport jihadis who seek to destroy America. Our campuses and our streets are filled with violent people who hate Jews and cannot coexist with Western society."

On Wednesday, Glick was on Capitol Hill, meeting with lawmakers including pro-Israel Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA). Glick was there to protest a Senate vote on whether to initiate an arms embargo against Israel.

Glick also met with aides to Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and James Lankford.

“They all gave me the thumbs up and told me how to follow up,” Glick said.

On the legislative side, Staten Island Representative Nicole Malliotakis presented a bill in February called the No Visas for Anti-Semitic Students Act. This bill aims to "revoke the visas of students who have engaged in antisemitic activities."

"Entering our country to attend one of our esteemed universities is a privilege, and foreign students who conduct antisemitic activity on our campuses should have their visas revoked," Malliotakis stated. "I'm pleased the Trump Administration plans to take immediate action to have these individuals removed."

Anti-Israel protest 4/30/24 by CUNY

Ross Glick, the leader of Betar US, has been actively meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including John Fetterman.

Betar doesn't avoid controversy.

The organization has been banned from using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp because of a controversial jest about distributing beepers to members of a pro-Palestine group at the University of Pittsburgh. This was in reference to Israel's past use of beepers in a targeted attack against Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.

The group's name, Betar, comes from the Betar fortress, a significant site during the Jewish-Roman wars of the second century. Betar was established in 1923 by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, an influential early Zionist leader.

Columbia U's DEI head Alade McKen hit with plagiarism allegations

"Plagiarism saves time" --Stephen Hawking

"Another one bites the dust" [a song by John Deacon formerly of Queen--I don't want to get bagged for plagiarism] in the DEI elite university community. Yes, another scholar of sorts has been accused of plagiarism.

Alade McKen the chief DEI officer of Columbia University Irving Medical Center had been accused of doing the Wikipedia research for his PhD and did not cite sources, as reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Free Beacon published a bombshell report regarding the anonymous claims made against McKen in his 163-page dissertation, "UBUNTU I am because we are: A case study examining the experiences of an African-centered Rites of Passage program within a community-based organization." 

The allegations claim that about 20 percent of McKen's dissertation was lifted from Wikipedia and there are more than two pages nearly verbatim facsimile of the websites'  entry on ‘Afrocentric education,’ which is not cited anywhere in the dissertation," the Free Beacon wrote.

So first they came for Claudine Gay of Harvard and now they're coming for Alade McKen of Columbia. I wonder whether they should come for Jill Biden next.

Dem-Soc candidate lies about herself but family corrects her

Salazar: a Jewish, Catholic, Columbian,
American-born, immigrant from Florida

Another Democratic Socialist [aka socialist] state Senate candidate in Brooklyn, New York is hoping to unseat an 8-term incumbent by riding the wake of another Economics 101 D-level student, Alexandria Googly-Eyes Ocasio-Cortez.

She's trying to do it, however, by lying to the gullible public.

Julia Salazar is vying to unseat Sen. Martin Dilan in the Sept. 13th Democratic primary. But it turns out Julia is a liar, telling the public that she's a Columbian-born "proud immigrant" of an economically distressed, working-class family. In other words, she has all the intersectional 'creds' for low-information liberals to vote for her.

It turns out the 27-year-old socialist is a US-born, former anti-abortion Republican who was raised in a middle-class household in Florida. Records prove that along with other media reports.

In fact, her mother and brother were also born and raised in the United States [and there's nothing to be ashamed of on that account], while her father was born in Columbia but was a naturalized citizen before Julia Salazar was born.

She also claimed that in her early years, she was raised in both Columbia and Florida. But her brother, Alex, told City & State NY the family only made several brief trips to Columbia.

The lies didn't stop there, however.

Salazar also claimed to be Jewish on her father's side and the Tablet wrote that she even claimed Jewish ancestry on her mother's side.

Alex, however, told the Tablet that "nobody in our immediate family" is Jewish, including their parents. Her mother, Christine Salazar, reported that Julia was baptized a Catholic.

Salazar would not answer questions directly [big surprise there, eh] about why she lied about being an immigrant, but instead used the newly minted Alexandria Googly-Eyes-Ocasio-Cortez method of responding with, "my earliest memories are time I spent with my family in Columbia."

And her family, even including her brother, never told her the truth about where she was born, or why her birth certificate didn't confirm her delusion.

Salazar is also a democratic socialist [aka socialist] as is old Googly Eyes. When asked to explain the difference between democratic socialism and socialism she faked a migraine, vomited and was whisked away by her campaign manager.

The sad part is that because she's easy on the eyes like Cortez, and a socialist who promises all kinds of free stuff, she will probably win the democratic nomination.
