The Biden administration, after urging by left-wing Democrats, issued a memorandum Thursday that will require Israel to submit a report within 45 days on its compliance with international humanitarian law in its war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. The memorandum, announced by the White House, theoretically applies to any country that receives weapons from the United States and is actively involved in armed conflict. But the White House all but admitted Friday that it was targeted at Israel.

A senior BBC employee described white people as a “barbaric bloodthirsty rapacious murderous genocidal thieving parasitical deviant breed,” while also calling the UK a “bigoted” country. Tell us what you really think. Dawn Queva, who is a scheduling coordinator at BBC Three, made the comments on her Facebook page. It is unclear whether they were made before or after she was hired by the BBC, which appears to have done no checks on her background. While Queva appears to vehemently hate white people, that didn’t stop her living in the UK, a country she branded “bigoted” and “genocidal,” while also...

President Joe Biden is reportedly considering using weapons sales as a means to convince Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scale back their attack on the Gaza Strip. Sources told NBC News that the Pentagon has been directed by the Biden administration to review what weaponry Israel has requested that could be used as leverage to scale down their military attack on Gaza. At least 26,422 Palestinians have been killed and 65,087 injured by Israeli counterstrikes since October 7, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said Sunday.

A Yale Law School dean, known for her 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion' fervor and a tumultuous history of free-speech and anti-Semitism controversies may be the university's next president. Heather Gerken, the current dean of Yale Law School, is now in the running to succeed Peter Salovey, five insiders told the Free Beacon. Gerken is already causing a stir in the high-stakes race with her track record that includes shaming a conservative student via email, letting 'woke' students cancel a speaker and hiring a trainer who claimed anti-Semitic hate crimes are exaggerated.

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign announced Monday it raised $1 million in online donations over a 24-hour period after the president delivered his first 2024 campaign speech on Friday, comparing Trump to Nazis. The escalation of extreme rhetoric appears to be a part of Biden’s newest strategy to defeat Trump. Commemorating the January 6 protest, Biden compared former President Donald Trump’s words to language used in Nazi Germany and claimed “Democracy is on the ballot” after Democrats tried to remove Trump from several state ballots: “Echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany, he [Trump] proudly posts on social...

Et tu, Kamala? In an incredible act of betrayal, the Vice President of the United States is now undercutting Joe Biden's support for Israel in its war against Hamas. Poor old Joe's got a full-blown insurrection on his hands. On Thursday night dozens of masked White House staffers stood outside the front gates of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and demanded an 'immediate ceasefire' by Israel. 'We are horrified to see the full resumption of killings, displacement and bombardment of Palestinian civilians in Gaza,' the protesting bureaucrats wrote in their letter. Funny, though, they didn't mention which side broke the peace in...

WASHINGTON, Dec 13 (Reuters)-The Biden Administration is delaying the sale of more than 20,000 U.S.-made rifles to Israel over concerns about attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, two sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. The State Department sent an informal notification of the sale to Congress several weeks ago. But the sale has not gone ahead...

WASHINGTON — President Biden said Tuesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should “change” his approach to the Palestinian issue, warning that Israel was losing support for its military response to the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack. Biden made the dramatic demand at a fundraiser hours after making a similar comment during a Monday night Hanukkah celebration at the White House. “Bibi’s got a tough decision to make,” Biden said Tuesday, using the popular nickname for Netanyahu. “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history.” The president then said that Israel’s national unity government, which includes some hardline nationalist...

President Biden apologized to some prominent Muslim-American leaders for publicly questioning the Palestinian death toll being reported by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Ministry of Health, a new report says. Biden huddled with five Muslim American leaders the day after his Oct. 25 comments about reported Gaza deaths roiled the Islamic community, vowing to “do better.” During the meeting, which was initially planned for 30 minutes but lasted more than twice as long, Biden heard the leaders describe individuals they knew who were personally affected by the conflict. “I’m sorry. I’m disappointed in myself,” Biden told the group, the Washington Post reported.

Hamas's October 7 killing spree in southern Israel was "horrific" and unjustifiable, but what is "also true is that the occupation and what's happening to Palestinians is unbearable," former President Barack Obama said in comments published Saturday.The remarks come after Obama earlier warned that an Israeli ground operation in Gaza could "backfire," arguing that while Israel had the right to defend itself, any civilian death would increase support for extremism and harm the country's long-term security.In his latest intervention, the former president argued for all sides of the debate over Israel and Palestine to acknowledge the "complexity" of the conflict...

Uber-woke, uber-rich, uber-awful Nika Soon-Shiong – daughter of the owner of the Los Angeles Times – has called Israel an “apartheid state” that is now committing “genocide” against Palestinians in its response to Hamas’ barbaric attacks. “It’s not journalistic malpractice to describe the state of Israel as an Apartheid state. This is well-established in international law. It’s the legal term for unlawful “killing, torture, forcible transfer, and denial of basic rights,” she Tweeted (X) late yesterday.

President Joe Biden Wednesday stressed the United States believes the conflict between Israel and Hamas must end with a vision of a “two-state solution.” “There’s no going back to the status quo as it stood on Oct. 6, that means Hamas can no longer terrorize Israel and use Palestinians as human shields” Biden said. “It also means, when this crisis is over there has to be a vision of what comes next, and, in our view, it has to be a two-state solution.” Achieving this, Biden said, means “a concentrated effort for all the parties — Israelis, Palestinians, regional partners,...

The FBI said this week it had no information indicating a credible terrorist threat against the United States, but social media pundits who have been raising the alarm for days aren’t backing down. Conservative social media influencers have been filling platforms such as X and Truth Social with speculation not backed by any evidence that attacks on civilians in Israel would soon be followed by similar attacks in major U.S. cities and that people should begin preparing — including by avoiding cities and purchasing firearms. The speculation with no evidence to support it has come from former President Donald Trump,...
