15 minute video of Oliver discussing Scotland & the new hate crime legislation.

Democrats run the state of Washington with almost no Republican opposition, and, apparently, there are so many unreported hate crimes that lawmakers have set up a snitch line. We don’t have anywhere near these problems where I live — you know, in MAGALand — but wherever Democrats run things, you get hate, racism, and bigotry, on top of crime, poverty, drug addiction, and homelessness.

A home belonging to a family of Pakistani migrants was set ablaze in the German town of Wächtersbach on Christmas Day 2023. Phantasmal right-wingers were immediately blamed for the arson. The family members, meanwhile, were depicted as victims of so-called Islamophobia and xenophobia. This narrative, agreeable to European leftists and the liberal media, recently went up in smoke. A convenient spark The fire began around 1 a.m. on Christmas morning and did roughly $379,000 in damage. The fire brigade found anti-migrant slogans scrawled inside the smoldering ruins. Der Spiegel reported that the words "foreigners out" had been spray-painted on some...

The Las Vegas teenagers accused of beating 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis to death in an alley near their high school claimed self-defense, saying the boy threw the first punch at a court hearing Thursday. Four of the nine teens charged with Lewis’ murder appeared before Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Nadia Woods but did not receive bail as expected, with Woods instead saying she’d issue a written order on bond for each defendant next week, local CBS affiliate station KLAS reported. The four teens — Damien Hernandez, 17; Gianni Robinson, 17; Dontral Beaver, 16; and Treavion Randolph, 16 — appeared in...

The gravesite of Joshua bin Nun in Samaria was vandalized, with malicious graffiti, including encouragement of Hamas and the October 7 massacre. Among the words spray-painted on the wall were, "Death to Jews[sic]," the names of terrorists who carried out attacks in Jerusalem, and other things. Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan called on the government and security forces to clamp down on terror in Judea and Samaria, just as the US dealt with ISIS. "This is a barbaric hate crime and a terror attack in every way," he said. "We received another reminder that the enemy in Gaza and...

After an initial delay on Saturday, another group of hostages was released by Hamas. As part of the deal, Israel then released an even larger group of terrorists who committed various violent acts, from stabbing to shooting attacks. As my colleague Jeff Charles chronicled, the reactions in Gaza and the West Bank were sickening and disturbing. Videos began to emerge of the released terrorists draping themselves in Hamas flags and symbology, showing that exactly zero lessons were learned.

A week ago, two young ostensibly religious Jews broke into the historic Protestant cemetery on Mount Zion and vandalized dozens of gravestones, including pulling down several crosses. One of the desecrated headstones included one with a bust of the second Protestant bishop in Jerusalem, the Reverent Samuel Gobat. The perpetrators carried out this shameless destruction proudly wearing kippot and tzitit (ritual fringed garment). All this was caught on a security camera, which you can see part of below.

Hate crimes against Jews in Democrat-run New York City surged 214 percent last month, the far-left New York Daily News reports. This is typical. Most of the gun violence, violent crime, pollution, sexism, racism, and hate crimes occur where Democrats are in charge. Time and time again, we see this. And yet, in rural MAGA Land, where all the supposed racists live, where we all own guns, where we supposedly don’t care about the environment, our towns and neighborhoods are clean, peaceful, safe, and tolerant. Funny how that works.

There's been a disturbing rise in antisemitism since the start of the Israeli-Hamas war. We've seen the evidence of it from the radical rallies chanting "From the river to the sea" to the ripping down of signs for kidnapped Jewish victims of Hamas. We've covered multiple examples here at RedState just over the past couple of days. There were the anti-Israel marchers who stormed the front of a Jewish store, and police had to get in between them and the signs of the kidnapped Israelis they wanted to rip down that were on a pole in front of the store....

After a Jewish family that moved to Ramla was attacked by their Arab neighbors, who wreaked havoc on their home, the court forbade the neighbors to contact the family members, point cameras at their home, and approach the home's grounds. Also, the common yard was temporarily divided by a fence. ... Last August, members of the Jewish family moved into an apartment in the city of Ramla. The ones who decided to receive them in an unpleasant way are the Arab neighbors, when since moving the Jews received statements like "Let's catch this religious woman", "Let Hitler burn you", "And...

The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism found that hate crimes are exploding in Democrat-run cities, reports the far-left Axios. Naturally, Axios doesn’t inform its readers that every single one of these hate crime hotbeds is run exclusively by Democrats. In most cases, Democrats have ruled these hate-filled cities without any Republican opposition for decades. In Democrat-run Chicago, hate crimes are up—this is not a typo—84.6 percent over last year. Chicago has been run by Democrats since 1931.

While California is known as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly states in the nation, hate crimes are rising and other troubling trends persist, according to a new “State of Pride Report” issued by California’s Attorney General. The report, which was released Tuesday and coincides with Pride month, looked at data and surveys on issues ranging from mental health to public policy.

Charge Arabs Foment Race Hatred Here NEW YORK — ( JPS ) — In a memorandum presented last week to the members of the UN Special Commission on Palestine meeting in Geneva, the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League charges that documentary evidence in its possession showed that the Arab League and unofficial agencies closely affiliated with it have been engaged in a deliberate effort to foment anti-Semitic and other racist disorders in the United States. The Anti-Nazi League disclosed that Congressman Adolph Sabbath's charges of connections between Arab propagandists and former:...

Biden admin says it 'welcomes and appreciates' watered-down definition of anti-Semitism Alana Goodman, May 25, 2023 ... The White House said on Thursday that it is also partnering on the initiative with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has a long history of anti-Semitism. CAIR "will launch a tour to educate religious communities about steps they can take to protect their houses of worship from hate incidents" as part of the initiative to combat anti-Semitism, the White House said in a statement.

The public’s hatred of racial, sexual, and religious minorities is so out of control that it imperils our democracy. At least, that’s what influential leaders from Joe Biden and Barack Obama to former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden and California Governor Gavin Newsom want us to believe. (Article by Michael Shellenberger republished from Public.Substack.com)Last week Newsom announced a state initiative for citizens to report disfavored speech (non-criminal “hate incidents”) they see online:California’s “Civil Rights Department” (CRD) invites citizens to speculate about the motive of the “perpetrator.”In a statement, Newsom’s office said the legislation was “in direct response to the...

JERUSALEM — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation cracking down on hate crimes Thursday morning after a high-profile speech in Israel. Known as the “Public Nuisances” bill, the legislation — passed Wednesday by the Legislature — makes it a felony for hate groups to harass people for their religion or ethnicity. Florida had the fourth-highest number of antisemitic incidents last year, according to the Anti-Defamation League. DeSantis is in Israel as part of his overseas trade mission with stops in Japan and South Korea. He also met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday before he wrapped up the...
