A 1st-grade teacher in Palm Beach County, Florida, a “River From the Sea Palestine Will Be Free” advocate, is about to find out how decent Americans support each other in times of crisis, and so will the Palm Beach County School District. Lauren Gross of The Gross Family Center For The Study of Antisemitism And The Holocaust has inspired five hundred people to send a letter to Superintendent Burke and the School Board of the School District of Palm Beach County asking for the dismissal of Layann Alhunaidi.

“Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) dodged a censure vote in the House over her history of anti-Israel remarks and participating in a pro-Palestinian protest last month that spilled into a Capitol office building.

The Biden administration has funneled more than $730 million to a United Nations organization for refugee assistance in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that harbored personnel who have incited violence against the Jewish people *** The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has been accused in recent years of employing educators who “regularly call to murder Jews” and teach from textbooks “that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism,” according to a March joint report by the non-governmental organization UN Watch and the Israeli non-profit Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education. The...

There’s an old political saying that if your opponent is committing suicide, get out of the way. Yet professor Sean Elias requires a response, so hateful was his odious retort in The Aspen Times to my column, “Why coexist with a mortal Iranian threat?” Evidence that society’s oldest prejudice endures after a post-Nazi dormancy, Elias’ letter to the editor reflects the bigotry that’s inciting lethal anti-Jewishness in Europe and existential threats to Israel, the only nation-state of the Jewish people and the sole democracy in the Middle East’s radicalized swamp. No other nation is surrounded by as much hostility or...

Terrorists and terrorist sympathizers always stick together. Unfortunately for America, at least one William Ayers and by extension, his friends are stuck to the President. The views of Bill Ayers have been well vetted and shown to be as radical today as when he was building bombs as a Weather Underground terrorist. Ayers, as all now know, shared an office with the President and as the USA Today article reminds us served alongside the President on the board of the Woods foundation funnelling money into community enterprises intent on building up future socialist activists disguised as supporting public education. None...

A life-long Democrat, Robert Canvasser was talking himself into voting for Republican John McCain because he just wasn't comfortable with his own party's choice of Barack Obama. But then McCain selected first-term Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate ahead of last week's Republican convention. "That put me back to Obama," said the real estate developer who splits his time between Michigan and Florida, both crucial swing states in the presidential election. "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not happy with Obama. But I'm certainly not happy with her." Canvasser is part of a trend among some Jewish Democrats who have...

BERLIN (EJP)--- A tragedy was avoided on Sunday after a smoke bomb, thrown through a window of a Jewish kindergarten in Berlin, failed to ignite. However, the school, located in a northwest neighbourhood of the German capital, was not spared by the spray painting of swastikas, other Nazi symbols and anti-Semitic phrases, such as “Auschwitz,” “Juden Raus” (Jews, get out) and “Sieg Heil”, on its outer walls, as well as on toys that had been lying around in the school’s playground. A police spokesman said the attack did not cause serious damage or endanger children or staff at the school....

Anti-Semitism has leapfrogged from isolated attacks against Jews to incitement to genocide -- the actual elimination of the Jewish state. Just over three years ago, at the first-ever global forum on anti-Semitism organized by the State of Israel, the essential task was to define the beast -- the new anti-Semitism. Since then, as the fourth such global gathering meets this week, efforts to incorporate the "three-D" distinction between legitimate criticism of Israel and the new anti-Semitism -- demonization, double standards and delegitimization -- have become part of international documents and discourse. These and other accomplishments, as important as they are,...

On December 12, 2006, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad personally brought to a close the infamous Holocaust deniers' conference in Tehran. A strange parade of speakers had passed across the podium: former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, the nutty followers of the anti-Zionist Jewish sect Neturei Karta, and officials of the neo-Nazi German National party, along with the familiar handful of professional Holocaust deniers. Frederick Töben had delivered a lecture entitled "The Holocaust--A Murder Weapon." Frenchman Robert Faurisson had called the Holocaust a "fairy tale," while his American colleague Veronica Clark had explained that "the Jews made money in Auschwitz."...

According to the Spanish daily “La Razon,” “Dispatches,” a Channel 4 documentary which aired on January 15, produced by reporter Robert Spencer, has caused great controversy and has Muslims on the defensive. In an excerpt on the subject of women, the documentary shows Muslim leaders saying, “Allah has created the woman – even if she gets a Ph.D....

Holocaust denier David Irving on Friday said Jews should ask themselves why they have been hated throughout history. "They [Jews] should ask themselves the question, 'Why have they been so hated for 3000 years that there has been pogrom after pogrom in country after country?', said Irving, speaking at a press conference he convened in England on Friday, a day after he was released from an Austrian prison. Irving, who was sentenced to three years in prison for denying the Holocaust, was released last week after his appeal was granted. Asked if he sees himself as anti-Semitic, Irving said, "No,...
