An Israeli filmmaker said he has been receiving death threats after decrying a "situation of apartheid" in Gaza and calling for a ceasefire during the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival. Yuval Abraham, a 29-year-old journalist and filmmaker, said the threats prompted him to cancel his return to Israel and his family to flee overnight due to right-wing intimidation.

Senior director at the National Security Council (NSC) Robert Malley, who was dismissed from President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign team when it was revealed that he met with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, has been named Special Assistant to the President and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Region.

Welcome to the lighter side of self-immolation, and I don't mean the age-old debate between the classic sturdiness of a Zippo vs. the disposable convenience of a Bic. We're here to enjoy, if that's the correct word [Steve, that is not the correct word —editor] the best of the worst social media reactions to the rather showy protest suicide on Sunday of one Aaron Bushnell, USAF.He died shouting, "Free Palestine!"Before you protest that it's indecent, unkind, and even inhumane to make fun of a crazy person who died in one of the worst ways possible, I'm here to tell you...

A member of the US Air Force was in critical condition after reportedly setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, Sunday afternoon. A video live streamed on Twitch appeared to show the Air Force member in uniform standing in front of the embassy gate and identifying himself as a member of the US Air Force, the New York Times and Washington Post said, citing officials who confirmed the footage matched the man in question. “I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the...

Simply put, the idea of “Palestine” is dead and buried, and no matter how hard they may try, Western politicians will never be able to revive it. In recent weeks, various leaders of Western countries have publicly broached the idea of the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, asserting that the time has come to give the Palestinians independence, even in the absence of a negotiating process. UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron and more recently French President Emmanuel Macron have floated this suggestion, despite the ongoing war in Gaza. But what these esteemed statesmen have apparently failed to grasp is...

Pathfinder. vol. 47. United States: Farm Journal, Incorporated, 1940, p. 4. * *(p. 3: "NEAR EAST - A Possible Locale for Act II in the War"). ...Troubled Palestine. • British - Mandated Palestine and Transjordan, likewise former parts of the Ottoman Empire, are contrasts. Transjordan gives the British so little trouble that its 34,740 square desert miles are policed by less than 1,600 men. Palestine, on the other hand, in its 10,492 square miles (slightly larger than Vermont) packs more concentrated hatred than any other section of the Near East. This hatred exists between the Arabs and Jews and springs...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that President Joe Biden is addressing the concerns of people unhappy with his handling of the Israel-Hamas war “looking at the possibilities of recognizing Palestine as a state.” And criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Host Brianna Keilar asked, “Congressman, I’ve been speaking with some Democrats who have concerns that some black voters are unhappy with how the President is handling Israel’s war with Hamas. They’re joined by young voters. They’re joined by Arab and Muslim American voters as well. How do you think the...

Sidney Chalhoub pledged to support 'Palestinian liberation' as part of Harvard Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine ... The chairman of Harvard University's history department is a member of a faculty group, Harvard Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine, that posted an anti-Semitic cartoon over the holiday weekend depicting a hand emblazoned with the Star of David holding a noose around the necks of one black man and one Arab man. In the background, a black arm swings a machete scrawled with the phrase, "liberation movement." The image was posted alongside a message from the faculty group arguing...

When Genesse Ivonne Moreno opened fire at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston last Sunday, establishment media reports had the typical focus: she was schizophrenic, possibly thought of herself as a man, yet was still able to buy a gun with no problem, and the real problem is that Texas has no red flag law. While there can be little doubt that Moreno was severely deranged, the media reports are ignoring elements of the story that shed light on Moreno’s motives. Now, why might that be? One reason is that the left’s favorite religion is involved. Moreno made a donation...

I was walking down the street last week, and suddenly, I heard honking from a bunch of cars. Not sure what it was, I looked over to see a cavalcade of cars driving by, waving big Palestinian flags out their windows. This went on for about five minutes until, eventually, they had all disappeared. This comes on the heels of seeing the Palestinian flag painted on the sides of buildings or on overpasses or stickers stuck to signs and the windows of various McDonald’s –and not put there by the store’s owners! Thankfully, there was no real disturbance other than...

On February 11, pro-Palestinian protestors recently staged a sit-in at the British Museum over its 10-year deal with BP. Last December, the museum announced a £50 million ($63.3 million) sponsorship deal with BP, funding that is used for the refurbishment and redisplay of the museum’s permanent collection over a 10-year span. Trustees of the board raised ethical and safety concerns behind the scenes about the deal, citing conflicts of interest involving board chair George Osborne and two other board members with connections to BP.

Ramallah, Palestine: Sadly, on a typical day within the Palestinian Territories, you might see Mein Kampf being sold, just like we did when filming HOPE IN THE HOLY LAND in the heart of Ramallah. Even more disheartening was that we noticed dozens of people walking by and not one them was appalled by this reality. Unfortunately, it was another stark reminder for our crew that classic antisemitism is alive and well within Palestinian society and is a major contributing factor to the ongoing conflict. It also reminded us why we originally decided to make this film. If you haven’t yet...

Israel Police officers shot and killed a teenage Palestinian boy on Monday in the West Bank village of Azzariyeh near Jerusalem, after he attempted to stab Border Police officers, according to police. The teen was later identified as 14-year-old Wadee' Oweisat. Police say the boy raised the suspicion of Border Police officers who were operating in the village. One of the officers searched the teen, who took a knife out of his coat and tried to stab them. The wounded officer, along with other policemen, shot him dead. Border Police Commander, Yitzhak Brik, told police officers that Oweisat "came here...

Mash’al In Iran: ‘Our Battle Is Your Battle’; ‘Together We Will Liberate Jerusalem’; Iran Will Help Rebuild Gaza; French Leaders ‘Collaborators’ In Zionists’ Gaza Massacres In a speech at the Iranian Majlis, Hamas leader Khaled Mash’al said that Hamas will not stop smuggling weapons, because doing so would be against the armed struggle. He told Iranian MPs: “Our battle is your battle... Your support for the resistance in Palestine is support for yourselves.

The Biden White House intends to pursue a policy of recognizing a Palestinian state at the end of the Israel-Hamas War without the participation of the Israeli government. Along with bilateral recognition, the Biden White House contemplates urging other states to do the same and permitting that Palestinian state to join the United Nations. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says the United Kingdom will do the same to bring about "irreversible progress to a two-state solution."Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on January 21, "I will not compromise on full Israeli security control over all the territory west of Jordan...

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reportedly asked the State Department to review options for a unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state at the end of the war between Hamas and Israel — a major break from past U.S. policy, and from Israel. The story — almost certainly leaked deliberately from the State Department — comes as Blinken prepares to visit Israel for the fifth time since the Hamas terror attack on October 7 launched the war.

Actually, there has never been a country called "Palestine," and the Jewish people were the original inhabitants of this territory. Many college students, and all of the anti-Israel protesters, erroneously believe that a country called "Palestine" was populated by a people called "Palestinians" until World War II, after which Jews who escaped the Nazi Holocaust began migrating there as "settlers" and took the land from Arabs. Today, so the narrative goes, they are colonial occupiers of "stolen Palestinian land," as the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) "Day of Resistance Toolkit" puts it. There are many things wrong with these...
