Dallas, Texas: Pro-Israel Christian event indefinitely postponed due to jihad threats

In the face of weakness and complicity on the part of U.S. authorities, jihadis are more emboldened in this country than ever before.

“Security Threat Shutters Israel Summit: ‘This is a Jihad-Like Attack on America,’” by Maayan Hoffman, The Media Line, June 6, 2025:

A Texas event for Christians supporting Israel had to move venues following ‘extremely concerning’ security threats. When the location of the new venue became public, prompting more threats, the group was forced to cancel the event.

A pro-Israel Christian event scheduled to take place in Dallas, Texas, was indefinitely postponed due to threats reportedly made by “radical jihadist” elements in the United States.

The HaYovel Israel Summit, which was initially planned for the Arlington Expo Center and later moved to Eagle Mountain International Church, was canceled on Thursday. According to Tim Miller, CEO of the LionHeart International Services Group, a private security company, security intelligence indicated that “there was active planning to target this event.”

Miller, a veteran Secret Service officer and former member of the Marine Corps, described the security alerts as “extremely concerning.” He referenced the recent murders of a young couple working at the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, as well as the firebombing of a group of peaceful Jewish marchers in Boulder, Colorado, last week.

“That tends to inspire like-minded people to physical acts of violence and that was the concern and a foundation for some of the decisions that were made,” Miller told The Media Line.

In a letter to the 700 expected attendees, HaYovel—an organization that brings Christians to Israel to volunteer—wrote, “While we are unsure of where and when the next Israel Summit will take place, we are not giving up. One thing we are certain of is this: the enemies of God’s Kingdom will NOT prevail. Together, we will continue to stand with the land and people of Israel.”

The organization apologized to those who had made travel plans and hotel bookings, saying it would work to issue full refunds for the three-day event, which was set for June 9 through 11.

We are dealing with radical anti-Israel, anti-American groups that are very violent and are willing to threaten and even cause harm to people that won’t align with their agenda. Americans are rightfully scared of them.

“The problem is that people do not understand who they are dealing with,” said HaYovel CEO Joshua Waller. “We are dealing with radical anti-Israel, anti-American groups that are very violent and are willing to threaten and even cause harm to people that won’t align with their agenda. Americans are rightfully scared of them. … This is not how Americans act. This is a jihad-like attack on America.”

Waller, who spends most of his time living on Har Bracha in Samaria—a hilltop settlement in the West Bank—told The Media Line that these radical elements need to be called what they are: “Terrorist groups in America.”…

The Media is Hamas

The massacre hoax and attacks on aid to Gaza expose the media’s true agenda. 

When Israel kills Hamas terrorists, that’s “controversial.” When Israel insists on existing, that’s not only controversial, it’s very nearly provocative, and even when Israel hands out food to its worst enemies who raped and murdered its citizens, and held its children hostage, that’s also… “controversial.”

“Controversial” is the word that the United Nations, the political establishments of multiple countries and the media would like the public to associate with Israel bringing aid into Gaza.

After UN lies about a famine in Gaza no matter how much food came in, Israel and the United States decided to take control of the corrupt UN aid system being used to benefit Hamas.

The media immediately began calling it “controversial.”

What’s controversial about delivering aid to the people the media had told us were starving to death? Two weeks ago, CNN claimed that “1 in 5 people in Gaza face starvation.” (People in Gaza are always “on the edge”, “facing” or “threatened” by starvation, but they never actually starve to death.) Now feeding those same supposed starvation victims is controversial.

But yet here was CNN trying  to get the word “controversial” into every headline about the new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. You might think that only CNN could manage to make Israel feeding hungry people “controversial”, but the AP, whose personnel on the ground have a long ‘controversial’ relationship with Hamas, began its stories by making “controversial” the first word in its headlines lest anyone miss the point that feeding hungry people is very “controversial.”

“Controversial new U.S. and Israel-backed Gaza aid effort gets off to a slow, tumultuous start”, the AP blared. “Controversial US and Israel-backed aid group starts operations in Gaza,” Sky News agitated and there were even fake explainers like, “Here’s what to know about the controversial new aid program in Gaza” from the Washington Post. And what everyone needed to know was that feeding the people that the Post earlier this month claimed “face critical famine risk” (they’re always facing famine, never actually famished) was very deeply “controversial”.

The media’s agenda was very blatant even before it allied with Hamas to fake a massacre.

This time the headlines screamed about a tank massacre. “Israeli troops kill over 30 near U.S. aid site in Gaza,” Washington Post. “Dozens feared killed after Israeli tank fires on crowd waiting for aid in Gaza, witnesses say,” NBC News. “At least 31 Palestinians killed after Israeli forces open fire near Gaza aid distribution center, Palestinian officials say,” CNN.

A BBC report falsely claimed that “Israeli tanks opened fire” and that “the injuries are all gunshot wounds.”  Video released by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation shows nothing of the sort. The “officials” being quoted by the media are Hamas. The tank massacre of civilians was invented by Hamas which gets much of its money from reselling aid delivered by the UN. The media, determined to keep Hamas alive, promoted this lie to sabotage the “controversial” plan to deliver aid directly to those who need it, rather than delivering it to Islamic terrorists to resell to them.

Massacres are more “controversial” than feeding hungry people. The media’s “controversial” headlines had failed to stir up enough controversy. It switched to headlines describing the aid distribution as both “controversial” and in the throes of “chaos.” (“Chaos” is currently a favorite media term for discrediting operations that it opposes” which is why it’s used for Trump.) But when “controversial” and “chaos” weren’t enough, Hamas and the media escalated to a massacre. The massacre never happened, but neither did the famine or the tens of thousands of dead children, and much of the population of the civilized world believes in both.

This is certainly not the first time that the media pushed a fake Hamas massacre. It’s not even the twentieth time. And every time Hamas terrorists built hideouts in UN compounds, schools and hospitals, the media dutifully reported that Israel was bombing schools and hospitals.

The public story of the October 7 war is a tale of the media broadcasting and normalizing fake Hamas casualty numbers to the point that everyone quotes them. What the majority of the public knows about the war comes from the media and what comes from the media is Hamas propaganda. The media was even caught rewriting Hamas press releases, while leaving in telltale lines about “martyrs”, and publishing those as breaking news out of Gaza.

But what is particularly revealing about the collusion in this case is that the media, NGOs and Islamic terrorists appeared to coordinate an information warfare campaign against something completely benign, aid distribution, for no other reason than to help the terrorists. Unlike opposition to the broader war, the media cannot hide its propaganda campaign behind general leftist sentiments against fighting wars rather than specifically supporting Hamas.

The only reason to sabotage U.S. and Israeli aid distribution in Gaza is to help Hamas.

When the media promoted the famine hoax, the excuse might have been that CNN, the AP and assorted other outlets wanted to make sure that food was coming in, but once they took a stance against food coming in, they could no longer hide behind concern about aid.

The media’s positions and agendas are identical to those of Hamas. The attacks on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation show that it’s not about the war or about getting aid in, it’s about a Hamas victory. Anything that does not serve Hamas is immediately attacked as “controversial” even if it’s handing out food to the people that the media told us last week were starving.

Hamas is not fooling the media. It’s not even a case of the media pushing Hamas propaganda because it shares a parallel agenda of ending the war and bringing relief to Arab Muslims in Gaza, as most people think, the media is undermining aid to Gaza in order to help Hamas.

The media doesn’t have a parallel agenda with Hamas. It has a single common agenda.

The only possible takeaway from the media’s disinformation campaign against the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is that what we call the news media wants Hamas to win.

After a year of lies about famine in Gaza, the media took to sabotaging aid distribution because it did not go through Hamas. The media never cared whether anyone in Gaza was hungry. What it wanted (and what the UN and other NGOs wanted as well) was for the aid to finance Hamas.

If the aid was going to people, not to Hamas, then the media didn’t want it entering Gaza.

Why does the media want Hamas to win? Because the  Left has come to be so closely aligned with Hamas that it seeks a victory for the terrorists. It’s not just the campus radicals, whom the media plays defense for, who cheer for Hamas and want to see Israel destroyed. It’s the media.

The media was always biased against Israel, but in 2024, it turned into Hamas war propaganda. The broader realignment of the Left around support, not just for a terrorist ‘Palestinian’ state, but for Hamas, has made the media into the communications arm of an Islamic terrorist group.

When it benefits Hamas, the media claims that Gaza is starving. And, when it benefits Hamas, the media denounces sending aid to Gaza as “controversial.” Then it fakes a massacre.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib Held Event With Group That Hailed D.C. Terror Attack

“I chant death to America every day.”

We need to deal with the fact that we have terrorists not just in this country, but in Congress.

In today’s article on the D.C. terrorist attack by a radical leftist who murdered a Jewish couple and seriously wounded two others outside the Capital Jewish Museum, I pointed out what the media did not, that anti-Israel groups, including those involved in many of the protests, hailed the attack.

Palestine Action US, which currently uses the Jihadist name ‘Unity of Fields’, distributed an illustrated version of the D.C. killer’s manifesto under his headline of “Escalate for Gaza”. It described the murder of a Jewish couple attending an event at a Jewish museum as “the rightful execution of the two nazi pigs” and hailed “the resistance that Elias will inspire.“

Rep. Rashida Tlaib had previously held an anti-Israel event featuring Palestine Action US, the Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Jewish Voice for Peace and the Islamist group EMGAGE.

Palestine Action US was one of the members of the ANSWER coalition in the protests organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation where Elias Rodriguez, the D.C. terrorism, had been an activist for years.

Palestine Action US has been funded in part by a COX heir.

James “Fergie” Chambers, an estranged Cox family heir, is using his trust fund fortune to bankroll what one law enforcement official describes as “an alarming Palestinian action group”…

“I chant death to America every day. Imperialism is the death of humanity,” Chambers tells Los Angeles.

“Israel does not deserve to exist,” he says. “It is a false state propped up by the west.”

“We have made absolutely zero threats to anyone’s well being or personal safety,” he says. “We are doing this in opposition to mass murder. Some of my comrades might break things, but we are not violent.”

So much for “we are not violent”.

It’s time to crack down on domestic terrorists, their funders and their backers who have decided to imitate their comrades in Afghanistan, Iraq and Gaza.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Keffiyeh-wearing gunman screaming ‘Free Palestine’ murders Israeli diplomat and companion outside Jewish Museum

What did the leftists and jihadis who ratcheted up the anti-Israel hysteria to unprecedented levels think would be the outcome? This. This is exactly what they wanted to happen, and there will be more of it.

“Report: Shooter of Embassy Workers in Washington Wore Keffiyeh, Shouted ‘Free Palestine,’” Ynet News, May 21, 2025:

The news site ‘Jewish Insider’ reported that the shooter who attacked two embassy employees outside the Jewish museum in Washington was wearing a keffiyeh and shouted ‘Free Palestine’ before striking them.

“Israeli embassy staff among two killed in shooting outside Jewish Museum in Washington,” by Sarah Moskowitz, Jerusalem Post, May 22, 2025:

A man and a woman were shot and killed in front of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington on Wednesday night, NBC News reported. At least one of those killed was a staff member at the Israeli embassy.

Two Israeli embassy staff were shot at close range, Axios reporter Barak Ravid said on X, citing an Israeli embassy spokesperson.

The shooting occurred in front of the museum where an event was being held by the American Jewish Committee.

The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force is currently investigating the incident, ABC News reported.

At least one of the people shot is believed to be a member of the Israeli embassy staff, according to reports from US media.

Law enforcement sources said that police are questioning a person of interest.

ABC added that US Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting took place.

“Praying for the victims of this violence as we work to learn more,” Bondi shared on X/Twitter.

‘Act of antisemitic terror’
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon reacted to the incident on X, calling it an “act of antisemitic terror.”

“Harming diplomats and the Jewish community is crossing a red line….

The False Equivalence of Antisemitism and ‘Islamophobia’ is Meant to Minimize Rampant Jew-Hatred

Islamophobia is a newly-minted concept designed to intimidate people into being afraid to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression.

“Exposing the Islamophobia hoax,” by James Sinkinson, JNS, May 14, 2025:

Jew-hatred is a highly prevalent, historically well-documented and well-defined set of behaviors, while Islamophobia is a relatively new phenomenon, much less frequent and so weaponized that some consider the very concept a hoax.

Case in point: After more than 18 chaotic months of pro-Hamas protesters bullying and blocking Jewish students’ access to campus, Harvard University, on April 29, finally issued a report on the school’s and radicals’ misdeeds, titled: “Presidential task force on combating antisemitism and anti-Israel bias.”

Bizarrely, that same day, Harvard University released another report: “Presidential task force on combating anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian bias.”

Why did we need two simultaneous reports on two unrelated problems with two dramatically different measures of magnitude, incidence and character?

Indeed, Muslim and Arab students at Harvard are not bullied, nor are they denied access, nor do their professors demean them for their ethnicity, nor are they victims of screaming invectives in mass protests against their homelands.

Moreover, while only a tiny few classes in Harvard’s curricula address Israel favorably, its catalog teems with pro-Palestinian, openly anti-Israel courses. Finally, ironically, a preponderance of campus activities attacking Harvard’s Jewish students’ rights are themselves led by Muslims and Arabs.

The same disproportionate attention to “Islamophobia” was paid by the Biden administration in April 2024, when it simultaneously formed the “National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism” and a sister task force to counter “Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate.”

Though certainly hatred of Jews, and other religious or ethnic groups, is deplorable, the actions of Harvard and the Biden administration seem to indicate that antisemitism and Islamophobia are problems of equal import and impact. In fact, antisemitic hate crimes make up a majority of all religious-based hate crimes nationally and are nearly eight times more frequent than anti-Muslim hate crimes.

This disparity in frequency is also matched by profound differences in characteristics. Antisemitism is recognized as a dangerous, irrational hatred of the Jewish people, whose values form the foundation of Western civilization. Research shows that Muslim societies harbor some of the world’s most virulent anti-Jewish attitudes, as well as a determination by radical Islamists to destroy the Jewish state.

Islamophobia is a relatively new concept, which critics convincingly argue is generally not a hatred at all, but rather a term used by social, political and media elites to whitewash the avowed intentions of Islamists to wage jihad globally….

Regarding Israel, Greta Thunberg Knows Exactly What She Is Doing

Greta Thunberg and her Freedom Flotilla friends clearly don’t know much about international law. Article 23 of the Fourth Geneva Convention explicitly allows a state to withhold humanitarian aid from an enemy combatant under certain conditions. To wit:

The obligation of a High Contracting Party to allow the free passage of the consignments [humanitarian aid] indicated in the preceding paragraph is subject to the condition that this Party is satisfied that there are no serious reasons for fearing:

(a) that the consignments may be diverted from their destination,

(b) that the control may not be effective, or

(c) that a definite advantage may accrue to the military efforts or economy of the enemy through the substitution of the above-mentioned consignments for goods which would otherwise be provided or produced by the enemy or through the release of such material, services or facilities as would otherwise be required for the production of such goods.

Hamas does “divert aid from its [intended] destination.” Much of that aid is “diverted” from the people of Gaza to Hamas. Until now “control” of the distribution has been nearly nonexistent. Hamas does have a “definite advantage to accrue to it” when its fighters know they can take vast quantities of the aid for themselves and their families, which helps Hamas sustain its men, and even gain new recruits. And Hamas sells much of the aid it steals to the Gazans who were supposed to have received the aid for free.

In other words, all three of the permissible reasons for withholding humanitarian aid, as set out in the Fourth Geneva Convention, Article 23, have been met. Would someone make sure Greta Thunberg is sent a link to Article 23? She might even read it.

Brendan O’Neill takes her to task for her latest cause, and the malignancy of her attack on the tiny, embattled Jewish state that is now fighting a seven-front war for its survival, here: “Greta Thunberg’s moral siege of Israel,” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, May 7, 2025:

People talk about the siege of Gaza but few are prepared to reckon with the siege of Israel. For years, the Jewish State has been subjected to a double siege. There’s the physical siege by the armies of antisemites that surround it and which dream of its obliteration. And there’s the moral siege by the intellectuals of the West. By our credentialed classes, our activist set, our literary elites, all of whom increasingly derive their fantasy of virtue from their hostility to the Jewish nation. And some of whom also dream of its destruction. ‘From the river to sea’, they cry, to let the world know that their utopia is a Middle East with no Jewish homeland.

Yes, seemingly all of a sudden, since the atrocities of October 7, 2023, when six thousand members of Hamas, accompanied by a few hundred civilians who wanted to join in the fun, smashed into Israel from Gaza and proceeded to rape, torture, mutilate, and murder 1,200 Israelis and kidnap 251 others, antisemites have been having a field day. Israel has become the object of nonstop vilification, and many people, from campus brownshirts to UN officials, have no problem demanding that “from the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” which can mean only one thing: Israel must be destroyed, in order to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. As for the Israelis themselves, those who are not killed in the fighting that will undoubtedly ensue must be expelled.

Brendan O’Neill, not for the first time, has given Greta Thunberg the drubbing she deserves. But don’t worry. She’ll be in the news again very soon. She has been formally diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, and from here on out, her obsession will be the mighty empire of Israel that has been, in her view, the source of so much woe. She hasn’t a syllable to spare for the mass famine in Sudan, or Pakistan’s aggression against India, or the murders of Alawites and Druze in Syria, or Russia’s war against Ukraine. For Greta Thunberg, it’s all the way with “globalize the Intifada” and “Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho/The IDF has got to go.”

Don’t forgive her, Lord. She knows exactly what she is doing.

While Biden Pentagon Was Fighting the Houthis, the Biden State Department and USAID Were Funding Them

The U.S. sent billions in famine relief to Yemen. During the famine, the population rose 30%. And Yemen’s Houthis used our money to go to war against us.

In May 2024, the Biden administration announced that it was providing $220 million in aid to Yemen which the United States had been at war with since the start of that year.

Even while the US Navy was engaged in what the Associated Press would describe next month as the “most intense combat since World War II” with Yemen’s Houthi Jihadists, the U.S. Mission to Yemen boasted of having provided “nearly $5.9 billion” in aid beginning with the Obama administration, of being “the largest donor of humanitarian assistance” and urged that “other donors must join us in stepping up” to fund an Iranian-backed terror group at war with us.

A terror group whose motto, like its Iranian patrons, is “Death to America.”

One arm of the United States government, the Pentagon, was fighting the Houthis, while another arm, the State Department and USAID, were funding them. While Navy personnel on board US Navy vessels had seconds to prepare and counter Houthi strikes, State Department and USAID personnel worked to keep the Houthi’s Hodeidah port open so more “aid” could pass through it. The US Navy was not allowed to strike Hodeidah even though it was the Houthi lifeline for the weapons that the Houthis were using to attack American and other vessels.

The Biden administration had ended President Trump’s support for Saudi action against the Houthis and lavished a fortune on the terrorist areas because terrorist supporters and international groups had falsely claimed that Yemen was suffering from a deadly famine.

Before Islamic terrorist supporters, their leftist allies and international aid groups faked a famine in Gaza to save Hamas, #YemenFamine was trending on social media along with photos of wounded and starving children. Much as in Gaza, there was no famine. Rather the Houthis were seizing international aid which they then resold to create food shortages. The more aid came in, the more the Houthis seized. The fake famine was used to mount an international pressure campaign to end the attacks on the Houthis and send billions of dollars in relief to Yemen.

Massive shipments of urea, a fertilizer also used in explosives, were allowed into Yemen to help grow crops and stop the mythical famine. Even though urea was proscribed, the shipments were not interfered with in the name of ending the famine that wasn’t happening. Along with the urea came ammonium perchlorate which is used in rocket fuel. The rockets being fired at US Navy vessels were fueled by the famine lie. False claims of a famine were a tool of war.

By 2018, over $4 billion in humanitarian aid had poured into Yemen. The UN’s World Food Program, which would later invent and become the loudest voice promoting the Gaza famine hoax, operated 5,000 distribution sites to supposedly aid 10 million people whom it claimed were facing emergency conditions, but could only track 1 in 5 of its food basket allotments.

In 2017, two-thirds of those who were supposed to be receiving food had not gotten anything.

In one Houthi province, the UN sent twice as much food as the people needed, and came away claiming that the majority of the population was still in desperate need of food.

The WFP, and even the AP eventually admitted that the Houthis were taking much of the food. The Houthis created fake lists of starving people who needed food. International aid groups resorted to sending money so that Yemenis could buy the food aid that was being resold.

Even though all of this was well known, the Biden administration kept on sending more aid five years later. The money didn’t go to the people: it went to the Houthis at war with America.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s first order of business was taking the Houthis off the list of foreign terrorist organizations, making it legal to fund them, despite “their reprehensible conduct, including attacks against civilians and the kidnapping of American citizens” because of “the humanitarian consequences” that would take place in Yemen. Even as the Houthis went to war against America, “humanitarian aid” provisions protected the delivery of fuel, and the port and airport operations that allowed the Houthis to get more money and weapons.

Earlier this year, the UN demanded $2.47 billion for its 2025 Yemen Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan. In February, the Houthis killed a WFP worker (an event that got far less publicity than the deaths of aid workers in Gaza), but in April, the WFP expressed outrage that the United States was finally, at least temporarily, pausing aid and would not be allocating over $100 million in funds to the enemy region at war with the United States.

After 9 years of non-stop famine (and billions in spending), 17 million people are facing acute hunger in Yemen. That’s up from 15.9 million people in 2019.

Since the famine began, Yemen’s population shot up from 30 million to 39 million.

Having a population increase by 10 million or 30% during a famine is unprecedented. What accounts for this Yemeni miracle? Miraculously, Yemen’s population rose sharply as an unprecedented wave of foreign aid poured into this country. It’s unknown how many of these miracle births were real or fake names to collect yet more humanitarian aid for the hungry.

After the latest round of airstrikes, a Yemeni man interviewed on camera, chanted, “Death to America” and bragged that “our country is fortified with the skulls of American demons.”

More accurately, it’s fortified with $5.9 billion in American taxpayer money.

Since Yemen’s population seem to have figured out how to increase by a third during a famine affecting half their population, they clearly don’t need any more help from us, which should be used to help actual starvation victims in African countries that can’t just pump oil from the ground. Not only should we stop sending aid to Yemen, we should block all further aid.

If we don’t want to be in a perpetual war over passage through the Red Sea or depend on the goodwill of a terrorist group for access to it, we should cut off the money to the terrorists.

And while Iran has supplied the Houthis with weapons and money, in Yemen, much as in Afghanistan, Iraq and Gaza, much of the money going to the terrorists comes from us.

How Academics Can Show Support for Israel at Graduation Ceremonies

Last year, as the 2023-2024 academic year came to an end, I was feeling fortunate to be teaching at the Rochester Institute of Technology, a school that had successfully stopped the anti-Israel madness that had taken over much of academia. Since several friends had children who were completing their degrees, I decided to attend the graduation ceremony, something I hadn’t done since the pandemic.

But marching in an academic ceremony posed a problem since faculty are expected to wear their academic regalia. My New York University doctoral robe stands out in a crowd. It is purple (for the NYU Violets, truly a fearsome mascot) with black panels bearing 2 badges with the school’s symbol and the year 1831 denoting its founding year. But as an NYU alumnus who is somewhere between disillusioned and disgusted with my alma mater, I have lost the pride I once felt wearing it.

NYU has been on a downward spiral in the last two decades, becoming a hub of anti-Israel activism. With its Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies, Iranian Studies Initiative, and Middle East and Islamic Studies department, NYU is the embodiment of the Palestinization of academia. In 2020, after it had become clear that NYU had turned against Israel in every conceivable way, I began referring to it as the Gaza of Greenwich Village.
>
I could have rented a plain black doctoral robe and blended in with the crowd, but instead I chose to wear my outfit, after making a minor alteration signifying my feelings about NYU by attaching a 2″ x 3″ Israeli flag over one of the torch badges. Call it restorative justice.

I considered using hook-and-loop tape to secure it, but in order to make it more permanent, I sewed it on. I was ready for the ceremony.

When the chair of my department couldn’t attend the ceremony and asked for volunteers to take his place, I offered to fill in.

In the end, I was tasked with walking in the procession, leading the English majors on stage, and then shaking their hands while giving them their “diplomas” (faux leather slip covers with a letter indicating that their actual diplomas would arrive soon).

Considering all the garish outfits academics wear at convocations, a minor alteration such as mine probably went largely unnoticed. From those who did notice, I received a few evil-eyed glares, but no one said anything negative to me. In fact, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive – quite a few thumbs up, a couple high fives, and many knowing smiles. One colleague hugged me with tears in her eyes.

I later wondered what would have happened if I had worn the outfit to an NYU graduation, or an Ivy League graduation.

RIT has no Middle East studies department and no SJP chapter. Very few of the faculty are in favor of eliminating Israel and promoting Hamas. According to the AMCHA Anti-Zionist Barometer, RIT has a nearly perfect record of 0 or “Negligible” with “Little to no anti-Zionist faculty presence/activity found.” It has no “Faculty for Justice in Palestine” (FJP) chapter, has issued no FJP statements, and held no FJP activities. No departments have issued statements condemning or calling for an academic boycott of Israel. The only stain on its otherwise-perfect record comes from five faculty members who have “endorsed a publicly-accessible statement or petition in support of an academic boycott of Israel.”

By contrast, NYU is at the top of the AMCHA barometer, listed as the number 1 anti-Zionist campus in America, with the highest possible score of 5 or “Extreme.” It has a chapter of “Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine,” has held 30 FJP events and issued 14 FJP statements. Worst of all, NYU has 127 faculty boycotters (the most of any school on the barometer), making the NYU motto Perstare et Praestare (“To Persevere and Excel”) true but bitterly ironic.

Academics of America, if you have ever felt shame over how your profession has responded to October 7…

If you oppose an Intifada in America…

If you believe the terrorist organization Hamas must be annihilated…

If you believe Israel has a right to exist…

In short, if you are not a fashionable anti-Zionist…

Then I invite you to join me this graduation season by attaching an Israeli flag to your doctoral robe — on the left side, over your heart. Be part of a silent, dignified response to the last two years of protests, demonstrations, encampments, and intimidation masquerading as righteousness and protected under the aegis of academic freedom. Use your academic freedom to let the Mahmoud Khalils, Joseph Massads, and Bassam Haddads of the world know that you stand with Israel and against Hamas.

The more severe the anti-Zionism on your campus, the more courage it will take, but that’s where it is needed the most. And the more anti-Zionist the school where you earned your Ph.D., the better your robe will look.

An Israeli flag will help remove some of the antisemitic stink from a Yale University doctoral robe. The blue-on-blue color scheme looks good too.

An Israeli flag will help restore some dignity to a Harvard University robe, which even Harvard’s president would probably agree is necessary.

It stands out nicely on an orange Princeton University robe.

And it matches perfectly with a baby blue Columbia University robe, where it is probably needed the most.

Send a photo of yourself in your properly-altered doctoral outfit, to aj@investigativeproject.org the Investigative Project on Terrorism and we’ll put it on our website. Extra points for photos from the ceremony.

And congratulations on completing the 2024-2025 academic year and standing up to the mob.

Not to Media: Islamic Terrorists Aren’t Journalists

“We’ll burn Jews like Hitler did.” says BBC reporter Samer Zaenen.

The BBC Arabic repeatedly use contributors who cannot be trusted to deliver the objective and unbiased reporting the BBC purports to provide. The latest example is Samer Elzaenen, who has appeared on BBC Arabic more than a dozen times since the October 7 attacks, and whose social media history includes such gems as “When things go awry for us, shoot the Jews, it fixes everything” and “We shall burn you as Hitler did, but this time we won’t have a single one of you left.”

Also, this garbage from the American media elite, a.k.a, New York Times:

The media is the enemy of freedom loving people.

Gazan journalist who appears on BBC Arabic called to ‘burn’ Jews in resurfaced posts

UK broadcaster attempts to distance itself from Samer Elzaenen, who has said shooting Jews ‘fixes everything,’ stating that he isn’t a staff member while disavowing antisemitism

By ToI Staff

A slew of antisemitic social media posts attributed to a Gazan journalist who regularly contributes to BBC Arabic were uncovered on Saturday, including one in which he called to “burn the Jews as Hitler did.”

Samer Elzaenen, 33, was uploading antisemitic and anti-Israel content to social media as far back as 2011, The Telegraph revealed, and continued even after he began providing correspondence for BBC Arabic in the wake of the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led onslaught in southern Israel and the start of the Gaza war.

In a Facebook post in 2011, Elzaenen wrote: “My message to the Zionist Jews: We are going to take our land back, we love death for Allah’s sake, the same way you love life. We shall burn you as Hitler did, but this time we won’t have a single one of you left.”

Then, more than a decade later in 2022, he wrote: “When things go awry for us, shoot the Jews, it fixes everything.”

According to the British newspaper, Elzaenen has praised over 30 separate terror attacks against Israeli civilians, including a February 2023 car-ramming attack that killed two boys and a 20-year-old man in Jerusalem.

How Radical Islam and the Progressive Left Seek to Undermine America

The jihadist and leftist ties that bind.

“This American empire must fall”

This statement did not come from Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from Vladimir Putin of Russia, or from China’s Xi Jinping. It came from a Muslim American resident of Dearborn, Michigan, who added: “People are willing to fight and put their lives on the line to bring these Western empires down.”

It is a chilling reminder that calls for the destruction of America and Western civilization are not limited to distant regimes. These ideas are now echoed within our own communities, on college campuses, on online platforms, and through nonprofit organizations.

Following the violent protests and encampments that claimed to target Israel, many Americans began to understand the deeper truth. Radical Islam is no longer just an external danger. It has embedded itself within our institutions and aligned itself with elements of the far-left in a calculated attempt to weaken and undermine America from within.

This partnership, often referred to as the “Red-Green Axis,” is not a loose affiliation. It is a coordinated movement. Radical Islamists, cloaked in the legitimacy granted by progressive activists, are advancing a deliberate campaign to undermine American values. They are not merely promoting criticism or protest, but are engaged in an ideological form of jihad, designed to destabilize our legal, educational, cultural, and political systems.

History tells us how this story will end

This is not the first time such an alliance has taken place. In 1979, leftists in Iran joined forces with Islamic fundamentalists to overthrow the Shah. The Left mistakenly believes it is standing shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with radical Muslims for “liberation,” “democracy,” and “justice.” But, once the revolution succeeded, the Islamists turned on their former allies, imprisoning and executing them to establish a religious dictatorship. That same regime continues to oppress most of its citizens to this day.

The same pattern is now emerging in the United States

We are witnessing a similar pattern unfold in the United States. Progressive activists, often unaware of the Islamist true agenda, march under slogans such as “From the river to the sea” and “Globalize the Intifada.” These phrases originate from extremists’ playbooks. The activists using them believe they are fighting for justice, but they are unknowingly promoting a vision of society that fundamentally opposes everything they claim to support.

Islamist extremists do not believe in freedom or equality. They view progressive allies not as partners, but as useful idiots to be used and discarded once their objectives have been achieved.

A War on America’s Core

This campaign is not confined to rhetoric. It is organized, funded, and executed through real infrastructure. As recently documented by the Capital Research Center, since October 2023, nearly 500 American nonprofits claiming to support Palestinian rights have adopted increasingly radical positions. Groups such as Within Our Lifetime, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and Code Pink have amplified violent rhetoric and promoted anti-American narratives.

The report also shows an online surge of +3,000% in calls for violence and a 186% increase in anti-American and anti-police rhetoric. The social media posts affiliated with these groups have reached tens of millions of viewers. These are not isolated incidents. They reflect a systematic effort to radicalize young Americans and erode public trust in law enforcement, government, and civil society.

These organizations are not charities. They are domestic ideological insurgents. They use the nonprofit system to radicalize young Americans, promote sedition and justify terrorism in an attempt to destroy American freedom.

This ideological insurgency has taken root within nonprofit organizations and academic institutions. According to a new report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP),  Qatar, the global financer of the Muslim Brotherhood, has funneled hundreds of millions or even billions into American K-12 schools by partnering with universities like Brown to distribute curriculum materials that distort history and encourage anti-Western thinking. These materials are already present in thousands of classrooms nationwide.

Another report by Open the Books, reveals that foreign regimes including China, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have invested heavily in programs that shape American education. Billions of dollars from both taxpayers and foreign donors are now used to fund ideological departments, activist groups, and so-called diversity programs at top public universities. These programs often support faculty who defend or celebrate acts of terrorism.

At Columbia University, one professor described the October 7 Hamas massacre as a triumph for Palestinian resistance. That professor continues to receive government-backed funding.

The institutions that once safeguarded truth and education are now being used as tools of indoctrination.

This is not a debate over policy. It is a fight for the future of our country. We must stop viewing this as a foreign affairs issue. This is an American issue that affects every citizen, regardless of background or political affiliation.

If we allow our civic institutions to be overtaken by extremist ideologies, if we excuse those who glorify jihad in the name of justice, we will endanger the very freedoms that define us. 

The Path Forward

The United States must respond with strength and moral clarity. Organizations that promote violence must lose their nonprofit status. Educational institutions that accept foreign funds must face scrutiny and accountability. Public officials must call out and reject this alliance between radical Islam and the far-left. And progressive leaders must draw a clear line between social justice and extremist ideology.

At the same time, we must offer a better path forward. We must renew our commitment to truth, liberty, and individual rights. We must protect the integrity of our education system and restore trust in our institutions. We must raise a generation that understands both the privilege and the responsibility of living in a free society.

This campaign to divide and destroy our nation thrives on confusion. It relies on fear, chaos, and the silence of those who should know better. We must not remain silent.

America has always faced adversity with courage and conviction. We have overcome external enemies and internal division before. And with resolve, unity, and a renewed sense of purpose, we will do so again.

The future of our country is still in our hands. Let us rise to meet this challenge with clarity, strength, and hope.

Senate Dems Gut Antisemitism Act to Protect Hamas Supporters

The Democrats have become systemically antisemitic.

Democrats turned against the Antisemitism Awareness Act because their party had become increasingly antisemitic. But unwilling to directly vote against it, Sen. Bernie Sanders and other Dems and one Libertarian Republican, Sen. Rand Paul, joined forces to gut it by taking a bill meant to fight antisemitism and packing it with carve-outs for antisemites. Their antisemites. Notably campus Hamas supporters.

The Antisemitism Awareness Act, in its current state, now exists to protect supporters of killing Jews on college campuses. That means Republicans are likely to vote against it and Democrats will accuse Republicans of not caring about antisemitism.

As a practical matter, the will to enforce civil rights matters less than bills. The Biden administration chose to ignore antisemitism. The Antisemitism Awareness Act is no substitute for a government willing to act and even as the Trump admin has tried to move against campus hate, personnel in the Department of Justice have obstructed those moves, and leaked to the media, while judges and the media have rallied to support campus terrorist supporters.

The actions of the Senate Dems in gutting the Antisemitism Awareness Act just shows that the degree of the party’s complicity in antisemitism goes all the way to the top. And that those responsible have plenty of willing volunteers of Jewish ancestry, like Sanders, to act as political human shields for Hamas in America.

The Democrats have become systemically antisemitic.

California: Newsom Gives Taxpayer Funds for Anti-Terror Program to Mosque Whose Imam Defended Oct. 7 Hamas Massacre

Of course. If the mosque hadn’t supported jihad terrorism, it wouldn’t have gotten the funding.

“Gavin Newsom Awards Antiterrorism Grant to Mosque Linked to 9/11 Hijackers, Pro-Hamas Cleric,” by Chuck Ross, Washington Free Beacon, May 1, 2025:

California governor Gavin Newsom (D.) recently awarded taxpayer funds under a state antiterrorism program to a San Diego mosque that has been linked to 9/11 hijackers and whose imam defended the Hamas attack on Israel.

Newsom, considered a top 2028 presidential contender, awarded nearly $200,000 to the Islamic Center of San Diego in March as part of a program to help religious institutions and nonprofits beef up security to protect against potential terrorist attacks, according to state records.

“Today more than ever, our state stands together to support our communities. Californians deserve the right to worship, love, and gather safely, without fear of violence,” said Newsom, whose administration has given another $500,000 to the San Diego mosque in previous years.

The Islamic Center of San Diego, led by Imam Taha Hassane, has condoned anti-Israel violence over the years. Hassane, who joined the center in 2004, defended Hamas’s slaughter of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, saying in a sermon weeks later that “resistance [against Israel] is justified,” the Washington Free Beacon previously reported.

“We cannot accuse somebody who is fighting for his life to be a terrorist. The terrorist is the one who started the occupation, not the one who is defending himself,” said Hassane, whose remarks prompted his removal from San Diego’s Human Relations Commission.

Hassane’s wife, Lallia Allali, resigned from her job with the San Diego school district after she posted a cartoon following the Oct. 7 attacks that showed a Star of David beheading five children. She currently teaches courses on “Islamophobia” at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

The Islamic Center of San Diego gained notoriety in the wake of 9/11 after revelations that two of the al Qaeda operatives who flew the plane that hit the Pentagon—Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar—prayed regularly at the mosque. An official at the mosque also allegedly helped the terrorists receive a $5,000 wire transfer from the nephew of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11. Other mosque leaders hosted a welcoming party for the hijackers when they arrived in San Diego in 2000, according to the 9/11 Commission report….

D.C. Mayor Hid ‘In-Kind Donation’ from Islamic Terror State

Qatar paid more than $61,000 for Mayor Bowser’s trip to Doha.

During the pandemic, we already found out that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser likes the nightlife, but her travel took her to an Islamic terror state as part of an ‘in-kind donation’.

7News has discovered that the nation of Qatar paid $61,930 for Mayor Bowser and four staff members to fly to the Middle East in 2023.

But not before Bowser tried covering it up.

As far as 7News has been able to discover during our ongoing investigation, Mayor Bowser doesn’t turn in any travel expense records at all.

First, Susana Castillo, the Mayor’s Director of Communications, told 7News in a July 9, 2024, email that the trip was paid for by the D.C. Chamber of Commerce.

That wasn’t true. Neither was this.

Days later, Castillo told 7News over the phone that the U.S. Conference of Mayors picked up the tab. The Conference of Mayors had no comment and told us to talk to the mayor’s office.

And then it gets worse.

Then comes a letter, 7News obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated March of this year from the nation of Qatar to the mayor’s office.

It shows the nation of Qatar paid more than $61,000 for Mayor Bowser’s trip to Doha in 2023, which included travel expenses for four staff members.

Qatar called it an “in-kind donation”.

Followed by yet another retroactive cover-up.

Now comes this letter, from February, sent to officials in Qatar amid our investigation. In the letter, the mayor’s office asks for a breakdown of the mayor’s 2023 trip expenses and the total tab covered by the Middle Eastern country.

Bowser’s office explains that such “donations” must be properly recorded, and a donation agreement will have to be executed.

7News would like to know why the mayor’s office is asking to create a Donation Agreement in 2025 for a trip she took in 2023. A situation that directly violates Mayor Bowser’s memorandum on rules of conduct governing donations requires that each donation be submitted and approved by the Office of Partnerships and Grant Services before the city can enter into a Donation Agreement.

All of this is being done with Qatar, an Islamic terrorist state, the state sponsor of Hamas, with ties to other Islamic terrorist groups, and which harbored the 9/11 mastermind.

Qatar has been buying influence in the United States and clearly Mayor Bowser was happy to go along.

U.S. Department of Justice Says UNRWA Can Be Sued In American Courts

Lawfare may now be about to have its finest hour. For UNRWA could face a potential loss of one billion dollars in a lawsuit brought against it by relatives of people murdered by Hamas, the terror group with which some UNRWA staff, we know now, had such close ties, while the organization itself permitted its facilities in Gaza to be used as command-and-control centers, and as places to hide both combatants and weapons. Several hundred staff members of UNRWA were discovered by the IDF, from documents it seized in Gaza, to be full-fledged Hamas members; dozens of UNRWA staff accompanied the 6,000 Hamas operatives who smashed into Israel on October 7, 2023, and they participated in the atrocities committed that day, of rape, torture, mutilation, and murder. UNRWA allowed Hamas to build its tunnels right under its buildings, including its main Gaza headquarters; it knew about the Hamas tunnel network, but revealed nothing to the IDF.

Now that lawsuit may proceed, because the US DOJ has rejected UNRWA’s claim to be immune from lawsuits in the U.S. The immunity from such a suit extends to the UN and its “subsidiary organs,” but according to the DOJ, does not extend to UNRWA, which is classified as a mere “affiliate or instrumentality” of the UN. Having had UNRWA’s claim to immunity from suit in American courts dismissed, the plaintiffs can now proceed with their lawsuit. More on this threshold victory, one with such potentially damaging consequences for UNRWA, can be found here: “DOJ strips UNRWA of immunity, clears way for lawsuit over Oct. 7 attack,” Jerusalem Post, April 25, 2025:

The US Department of Justice submitted a letter on Thursday [April 24] arguing that the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is not entitled to immunity from lawsuits in the United States.

This filing is part of an ongoing case in which the families of over 100 victims of the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack are seeking $1 billion in damages, alleging that UNRWA supported Hamas by allowing its facilities to be used for weapons storage, the construction of tunnels and command centers, and the transfer of funds to the group through employee payments in US dollars.

The lawsuit, filed last June in the Southern District of New York, accuses UNRWA, which coordinates much of the aid to Gaza, of enabling Hamas’s operations. The plaintiffs argue that the agency’s activities played a direct role in facilitating the October 7 attacks.

Previously, in September, the Department of Justice under the Biden administration had contended that UNRWA was immune from prosecution in US courts, citing that the UN itself had not waived immunity. This stance blocked the lawsuit from advancing….

Quite something, isn’t it, that the Biden administration took the side of Hamas’ loyal helpmeet in Gaza, UNRWA, arguing that it was immune from being sued in an American court. Why were the Bidenites so determined to block the lawsuit by relatives of those whom Hamas had murdered? What can conceivably explain such sympathy for the devil? Was the anti-Israel animus of Biden’s appointees that profound?

Dozens of UNRWA staff members took part in Hamas’ atrocities committed inside Israel on October 7, 2023. Hundreds of UNRWA staff have been discovered to be members of Hamas. UNRWA collaborated with Hamas in providing the use of its buildings, especially its schools, as places to hide both men and weapons and from which to launch rockets at Israel. UNRWA did nothing to prevent Hamas from building tunnels under its buildings, including a massive tunnel dug right under UNRWA’s Gaza headquarters, with UNRWA’s full knowledge. At no time did UNRWA cooperate with the IDF in pointing out buildings that Hamas was using; nor did it help the IDF locate tunnels. UNRWA was fully committed to protecting Hamas from the IDF.

Now that UNRWA’s claim to enjoy immunity to lawsuit in American courts has been denied, the case can now proceed. May it end in UNRWA losing and left penniless. That most public loss should raise in the minds of many a question: why, alone among the hundreds of millions of refugees created since World War II, are the “Palestinian refugees” uniquely allowed to pass on their status as an inherited trait, to their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and so on ad nauseam? Isn’t it time to end this privileged treatment of the “Palestinians,” and make them subject to the same rules as very other group of refugees? And no matter what the final verdict, the trial itself will be a public relations nightmare for the organization, as its many ties to Hamas are laid bare and held up for public inspection. UNRWA is about to enter a well-deserved world of woe.
