Jewish students in the Ivy League, I’m here to offer an invitation: Come to the South, where you’ll be safe. It’s manifestly not safe to be an Ivy League Jew. A prominent Columbia rabbi “strongly” advised Jewish students to go home and not come back: It’s become clear “Columbia University’s Public Safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish students’ safety in the face of extreme antisemitism and anarchy,” Rabbi Elie Buechler told students this week over WhatsApp. And no wonder. An anti-Israel protester near the Columbia campus yelled at counterprotesters holding Israeli flags, “Go back to Poland!” and “Go back...

Montgomery County, Maryland teacher and union official Angela Wolf / LinkedIn / Montgomery County Education Association ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Maryland teacher is on leave while the school system investigates her for a string of anti-Semitic social media posts that included creating a list of wealthy Jews in her county, claiming they horde wealth while contributing nothing to society, and calling for “class war.” Angela Wolf is head of the English Language Development department, which caters to immigrant children, at Takoma Park Middle School, in the most leftist enclave of liberal Montgomery County. Though she was temporarily removed from school, she remains...

Shocking surveillance video captures the moment a woman used a hammer to bash the front window of a Pittsburgh business that displayed a sign reading, “We stand with Israel.” The hateful vandal approached Marvista Design + Build on Beechwood Boulevard in the heavily Jewish-populated Squirrel Hill neighborhood about 3:50 a.m. Friday and repeatedly struck the window where the sign hung, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. Unable to shatter the glass, the woman left but returned a few minutes later and continued to strike it before grabbing the sign and then smashing the windows of a company truck.

Kristallnacht, (German: “Crystal Night”) the night of November 9–10, 1938, when German Nazis attacked Jewish persons and property. The name Kristallnacht refers ironically to the litter of broken glass left in the streets after these pogroms. The violence continued during the day of November 10, and in some places acts of violence continued for several more days.

A Star of David and the words “Never again is now” shine on the Brandenburg Gate On the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, a clear message could be seen on the Brandenburg Gate on Thursday. Numerous people in other cities also remembered the Jewish victims. The anniversary is particularly in focus this time because of developments in the Middle East. The Brandenburg Gate was illuminated with the words “Never again is now” on Thursday evening to mark the 85th anniversary of the Nazi pogrom night. Matching the colors of the Israeli flag, the gate shone white, the lettering and a Star...

Five months later, Jews, synagogues and Jewish-run businesses were attacked across Nazi Germany in the deadly November pogrom widely known as Kristallnacht...The stone tablet originally came from above...

Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he believes it's a "no-brainer" he could win the presidency in 2024 — if he were able to run for election. Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria and served as the Golden State's governor from 2003 to 2011, made the comments during a recent sit-down interview on Max and CNN’s "Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?"

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) said in a new interview that he would run for president in 2024, and win, if he was eligible. “Yes, of course,” Schwarzenegger told CNN’s Chris Wallace, when asked whether he would run if the Constitution did not require that the president be a natural born U.S. citizen. “I mean, I think the field was wide open in 2016, and I think the field is open right now,” the Austrian-born actor added. Schwarzenegger’s interview with Wallace, which is set to air on Friday, was first obtained by People Magazine.

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger joined this week's episode of CNN's 'Who's Talking to Chris Wallace,' and defended his previous comparison of the January 6th Capitol riots to Kristallnacht violent attack on the Jewish people. Schwarzenegger, 73, made his original comments comparing the two events in a January 2021 video, when he issued a dramatic speech slamming Trump and comparing the MAGA January 6th riot to the Nazi takeover of his native Austria. CNN anchor Chris Wallace played a portion of his speech in the interview with Schwarzenegger on Friday before asking him whether he still stands by his original...

Mark the date in your memory; August 8, 2022. It will be recorded in history as the "Shattering of American Democracy." Although nowhere near the bestial, violent actions of the Nazi brownshirts against helpless German Jews during the two days known as Kristallnacht in 1939, there is a similarity in the message - one of the end of the rule of democratic values and civil rights. (Kristallnacht, however was the German Nazis' opening salvo of fascism, the beginning of the extermination of Jews and democracy, on November 9, 1938.) Yesterday was a sad day for all of patriotic Americans, as...

As Israelis hide in bomb shelters for the crime of being Jews, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Tlaib find new yet familiar ways to blame the victims.While Hamas, the openly genocidal terror organization ruling the Gaza Strip, launches missiles at Israeli civilians in hospitals, schools, and homes, even closing its airport, the members of “The Squad” are hard at work pointing fingers at the “real” culprit: the Jews. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., announced what “precipitated this cycle of violence” was “the expulsions of Palestinians and attacks on Al Aqsa.” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., castigated the White House for failing to refer to...

Ernst Marcus, a Berlin lawyer, woke up in his apartment in the German capital’s Grunewald district eighty-two years ago. What he saw was unbelievable. Berlin, November 9th, 2019, updated November 9th 2020 (The Berlin Spectator) — “All of a sudden, the winter sky over Berlin was blood-red”, Dr. jur. Ernst Marcus wrote. His account of the events during the Night of Broken Glass, written in German, is part of the archive at Yad Vashem, the official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust in Israel.

Texas is preparing to send in 1,000 troops to five major cities across the state 'to deter any civil disturbance' post-election while stores in Washington DC begin to board up their windows Monday.

Just like 1930s Berlin. DeBlasio’s New York; AntiFa Thugs Terrorize Jewish Neighborhood, Break Windows, Loot Stores Featured Written by BlabberBuzz | August 18, 2020 07:52 AM AntiFa protesters who are violent is usually a Northwest thing, something that many northeastern Americans were pleased with. But it seems that some of the violent brand of “anti” fascist members have made it to the streets of Brooklyn. Hundreds of protesters, including members of the anti-fascist group AntiFa, rampaged through the ultra-orthodox are of Williamsburg over the weekend, trashing local and national chain stores and spraying anti-police graffiti, according to police and local...

"There is utter denial on the part of Democrats everywhere that anything is amiss in Portland, Minneapolis, Seattle, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, or anywhere else that Antifa and BLM thugs are attacking. They burn, smash and pillage municipal, state and Federal facilities.  Then they loot businesses large and small, generating chaos that is only half-heartedly acted upon by the local police, who are under an almost universal “Stand-down” order from the municipal authorities, with very real instances of defunding or neutering of police functions. This is much longer and more widespread than the “Kristallnacht” of Germany,...

Don’t you dare compare the ideologically motivated mobs attacking and destroying shops and other property in Seattle with the ideologically motivated mobs that attacked and destroyed Jewish-owned shops in Nazi Germany during Kristallnacht in 1938! Not if you work for NPR affiliate KNKX in Tacoma, WA. KNKX has permanently booted University of Washington Professor Cliff Mass from his weekly weather segment for daring to make such a comparison on his personal blog. Reaction came swiftly from the left on social media accusing Mass of anti-Semitism and exaggerating what was going on in riots in Seattle. This led to KNKX removing...

The new think tank the European Council on Foreign Relations hopes to steer the European Union back onto the center of the world stage. Its 50 founding members include leading European intellectuals such as Timothy Garton Ash, Joschka Fischer, Brian Eno and Rem Koolhaas. The European Union is 50 years old this year, and two years into its mid-life crisis; ever since the resounding French and Dutch "no" votes against the European Constitution, the bloc has languished in stagnation, paralyzed by indecision and a lack of confidence. "The EU continues to underperform on the world stage," wrote former German Foreign...

<p>I cannot express how truly sad writing this op-ed has made me. But I'm a patriotic American. And I'm an American Jew. I have studied the beginnings of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. And I can clearly see parallels with what is happening in America today. Thank God we have President Trump (at the moment) keeping us from heading too far down this tragic path. But I must warn my fellow Americans that we are clearly headed in a frightening and tragic direction.</p>
