All over the West since the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre of 1,400 Israelis, Muslim demonstrators have been calling for a new genocide of the Jews, right under the noses of authorities, and yet those authorities have taken no notice. One problem is that the threat was in Arabic, and authorities in Europe and North America don’t generally speak Arabic yet. Another problem is that even when it is translated into English, the threat doesn’t appear at first glance to be as bloodcurdling as it actually is. But as the demonstrations grow more heated, it becomes increasingly unwise for authorities to...

Some technical difficulties, but finally showing contemporaneous footage of mob attacking El Al flight stopped in Dagestan to refuel, storming plane, demanding passports of passengers, violence, security forces standing by and doing nothing.

While no one appears to have been seriously injured or killed in the riots, passengers have been forced to take refuge in planes or hide in the airport...

Hamas terrorists beheaded babies and gunned down entire families in their homes in a small kibbutz in Israel, horrified Israeli soldiers have revealed. Some 70 Hamas terrorists wielding guns and grenades stormed the usually quiet Kfar Aza kibbutz in southern Israel, killing anyone - men, women and children - they saw.

Defence Forces took the foreign press through the...

Australian Jewish Association (AJA) President David Adler said Jewish citizens were warned to avoid Sydney's central business district on Sunday night as pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at the city's Opera House.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a major ally of Vladimir Putin, has said that Europe should undergo a "moral cleansing," according to state news agency Belta. During a government meeting at the weekend, Lukashenko talked about fighting Nazis in the Second World War and said: "The time has come for the forgetful Europe to give itself a moral cleansing." "They — all who chose to forget — will have to look again at the grueling evidence of the bloody crimes of their own fathers and grandfathers," he said, according to Belta. "I must admit that we were delicately silent. In our...

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Crown Heights riot, the worst outburst of anti-Semitic violence in modern American history. Perhaps the most lasting insult to the victims is the way in which journalists and other liberal activists have sought to erase the riot from our collective memory and history. Insult is perhaps too generous a term considering how one of the riot's chief anti-Semitic instigators, the Rev. Al Sharpton, has managed to become a respectable member of the Liberal Élite and one of the most influential Democratic power brokers in New York City and beyond.

Antifa, carrying shields and weapons, attacked a group of Christians, including young children, who were congregating in Portland.

The Biden administration is poised to start contracts with private firms to surveil service member's social media accounts to find those with views they deem “concerning.” According to The Intercept: An extremism steering committee led by Bishop Garrison, a senior adviser to the secretary of defense, is currently designing the social media screening pilot program, which will “continuously” monitor military personnel for “concerning behaviors,” according to a Pentagon briefing in late March.

A military veteran and longtime military analyst warns America’s national defense is in retreat because the Pentagon is charging forward with left-wing ideologies that do not involve killing our foreign enemies. It is no right-wing claim to suggest the Pentagon is subjecting soldiers, sailors, and Marines to left-wing lessons warning about the Right. In February, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a one-day “Stand Down” to every military unit, which required commanders to address “right-wing extremism” in the ranks and how to report on suspicious activity by fellow soldiers. According to the Pentagon, the “Extremism Stand Down” came after it was...

The Biden administration's top law enforcement officials on Wednesday pledged to dedicate their resources to combat domestic violent extremists amid questions over whether the agencies are equipped to monitor such threats in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee for a hearing on domestic extremism as Congress ramped up its scrutiny this week of the circumstances around the attack on the Capitol. Both Garland and Mayorkas testified that white supremacist groups pose the most serious domestic national security threat in the U.S., reinforcing...

We’ve learned by now that the purges happening on social media are not just aimed at extremists, as the left first claimed. They are gradually moving the goalposts to snare the rest of us conservatives too. Toward the beginning of the purges, the left claimed they were just banning people who incited or threatened violence. Then it moved to banning people who posted “false” memes (never mind that many of these memes were merely opinions or satire). Now the excuses are flying like crazy. Anything from questioning the results of the presidential election to promoting MAGA, which they’re claiming is...

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...

A writer for a “Law & Order” spin-off and the play-by-play broadcaster for the NBA’s Sacramento Kings found themselves out of jobs after making social media posts this week that their bosses found incendiary or insensitive, highlighting a surge in such firings across many lines of work. Firings over social media statements have become a common occurrence, but the tense environment of nationwide protests have made Twitter, Instagram and Facebook especially dangerous for those who want to remain employed. Craig Gore, who has worked on the shows “S.W.A.T.” and “Chicago P.D.,” was fired Tuesday from the forthcoming “Law & Order:...

Upon returning from his historic Apostolic Journey to the Arabian Penninsula, specifically the United Arab Emirates, Pope Francis said that the Islamic world and the Christian world will work together to promote "common values." Speaking before his general audience in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday, Pope Francis discussed his meeting with the Great Imam of Al-Azhar and their signing of the document on the Human Brotherhood, which condemned all forms of religious violence, and the spreading of authentic values throughout the world. "The Great Imam of Al-Azhar and I signed the document on the Human Brotherhood, in which together we...

Ken Livingstone, a former mayor of London, has blamed the turmoil in Venezuela on Hugo Chávez’s unwillingness to execute “oligarchs” after he came to power. ... “One of the things that Chávez did when he came to power, he didn’t kill all the oligarchs. There was about 200 families who controlled about 80% of the wealth in Venezuela,” Livingstone told Talk Radio. “He allowed them to live, to carry on. I suspect a lot of them are using their power and control over imports and exports to make it difficult and to undermine Maduro.”

For over six decades Camp Solomon Schechter alongside the Placid shores of Lake Joshua Stamper has been the gateway to Judaism and love of Israel for generations of young Jewish campers in the Pacific Northwest. For some Schechterites though, their blissful camp experience was jarred late last week by the raising of the Palestinian flag over the storied campgrounds. An email sent by the camp administration acknowledged the incident this past Friday, describing it as one designed to “help develop empathy” and a “teachable moment”. Whatever the intent, the raising of the Palestinian flag over the camp was unexpected and...

Anti-Israel protesters who crashed a pro-Israel event in London last Thursday targeted female students planning to attend the event, physically attacking Jewish girls both on the way to and inside of the venue. The event, held at the University College London, featured a talk by former IDF soldier Hen Mazzig. As previously reported, BDS activists stormed the event, trapping participants in a room. Police ultimately intervened, warning those trapped not to attempt to leave the room before officers gained control of the situation. The protesters, however, apparently did far more than merely trap those participating in the event. According to...
