A new Harvard-Harris poll suggests that 80% of American voters support Israel in the current war in Gaza, while 20% support the Hamas terrorist organization. The poll was conducted January 17-19 among 2,346 registered voters. A margin of error was not available. Other results in the poll suggest support for Israel across every age group, with majorities agreeing that the Hamas attack on Israel on October was “terrorism”; that the attack was “genocidal” and cannot be justified; that Israel is trying to avoid civilian casualties; that Hamas should be removed from power in Gaza; and that Hamas is being supported...

Earlier Saturday evening, RedState’s Nick Arama reported on the violent protests outside the White House as the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel crowd conducted a "March on Washington for Gaza." They climbed statues and waved Palestinian flags – along with ISIS ones – and set off smoke bombs and spread "dead" baby dolls outside the WH fence.

Thousands of pro-Palestine protesters surrounded the White House Saturday night and attempted to breach the security the fencing outside the executive mansion in a threat to national security that prompted Secret Service agents and DC police in riot gear to rush to the scene. “F__k Joe Biden!” the mob demonstrators are chanting as they attempt to breach the White House. The metal perimeter was shaken so hard, that portions of it were damaged shunting backward. Secret Service operatives rushed to prevent an absolute breach that would allow the rioters to march toward the White House. The pro-Hamas rioters are also...

MSNBC cancels Mehdi Hasan's show in major shakeup of its weekend lineup: Islamist "far-left" host has criticized Israel's war on Hamas and once compared non-Muslims to 'animals' and homosexuals to 'pedophiles'. It comes after Hasan's strong on-air criticism of Israel provoked backlash online. Formerly he hosted (propagated) at 'Al Jazeera' and 'The intercept.'In 2021, Hasan rushed to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who suggested the U.S. and Israel were just as guilty of "war crimes[sic]" as terrorist groups like Hamas and the Taliban.In April 2023, Mehdi Hasan lashed out after being fact-checked on twitter for his statements on racial...

Toronto police have responded to a now-viral video showing officers delivering coffee to an anti-Israel protester during a recent demonstration. The video, initially shared on X by lawyer and investigative journalist Caryma Sa’d, shows a Toronto police officer carrying a box of Tim Hortons coffee and cups and handing them to protesters. The recipient, dressed in Palestinian garb, explains the delivery was not sent by the police, but someone else who bought the coffee for the protesters attempting an anti-Israel demonstration on a highway overpass. "But police won’t let them in, so the police is now becoming our little messengers...

They’re out to “cancel” Christmas. Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters converged on Midtown Monday, lugging a blood-red mock Nativity scene and chanting, “Christmas is canceled here.” “Long live the intifada,” the crowd of about 500 demonstrators yelled, using the Arabic word for “rebellion” or “uprising,” as they mobbed the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, where revelers were enjoying the holiday. “While Ur Shopping Bombs are Dropping,” read one of the signs carried by the protesters.

We are constantly told criticism of Israel is NOT antisemitic, and yet it always manages to get there on it's own. Meet Rabbi Shmuley, 'The Most Famous Rabbi in America,' filming pro-Palestinian activists randomly shouting for him to kill himself because he's a Jew. An "11-year-old" Muslim girl with her family walked over to me in Times Square and told me to kill myself because I’m a Jew. I am not making this up. You must watch this. They then had their small child kick me to humiliate me whole their daughter continued to say that I should… pic.twitter.com/36kxfmiCUX —...

A United Nations official said in an interview last week that Palestinians who kill Israeli soldiers are not guilty of crimes because such killings are in line with their "right to resist," in the latest controversial comments by the anti-Israel official."If the Palestinians target civilian objects, they commit war crimes," said Francesca Albanese, U.N. special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories, in an interview on the podcast Makdisi Street. "If they target military objects, they do not commit war crimes—they are in line with acts of resistance."Albanese went on to criticize "Western media" outlets that have condemned "every Palestinian action," including...

Members of the anti-Israel lobby have staged yet another insurrection at the United States Capitol building. Pro-Hamas activists flooded the rotunda led by Linda Sarsour, a far-leftist agitator, to call for a ceasefire in the war in Gaza. The incident was reminiscent of an earlier insurrection held by anti-Israel elements in October.Police arrested “roughly 60” anti-Israel protesters inside the Capitol Rotunda Tuesday after a group led by controversial activist Linda Sarsour staged an illegal rally in the iconic venue.“Not another nickel! Not another dime! No more money for Israel’s crimes!” chanted members of the group, holding “Stop Arming Israel” signs.It...

Six weeks after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, American Democrats can no longer deny that their party has an antisemitism problem which, if left unchecked, may very well split the party ahead of next year’s elections and likely for the foreseeable future.To be sure, the Democratic Party has had to reckon with allegations of antisemitism multiple times in recent years, but this time it is wholly different, with direct implications for the party’s political viability — or even its survival in its current form.While Israel has long been a touchy subject for progressives, the overt antisemitism we...

To My Friends on the Left: You’ve told me countless times over many years that antisemitism is almost exclusively a right-wing phenomenon, but events since October 7 indicate strongly that a far greater threat to the happiness, health, and safety of Jews comes from your left-wing allies. While Hamas was still live-streaming acts of rape, torture, mutilation, murder, kidnapping, and necrophilia on innocents; before Israel lifted a finger in response; throngs of your allies flooded streets, campuses, airwaves, and social media to rejoice. Still more of your friends hung their heads low to avoid offending the celebrants, who are vital...

Bill Maher slammed pro-Palestine extremists peddling the 'myth' that Israel could be wiped out in the war with Hamas, arguing that over the course of history, 'things change.' Inflammatory chant 'from the river to the sea' has been heard in protests across the West after the conflict broke out on October 7, with many seeing it as a call to eradicate the nation of Israel entirely. But Maher, 67, who is Jewish but identifies as an atheist, said the chant ignores 'reality', and suggested that Palestinians 'come to an accommodation' to end the decades-long crisis in the Middle East, as...

The 110 is one of Los Angeles's busiest and most roaringly hellish freeways. Some people consider it the worst, or pretty close. My choice for 'worst' is the 101, but the 110 is right up there. If you have ever been on the 110, you would know that it isn't all that wide, and it's loaded with big rigs roaring down in high-speed convoys, coming and going from the Port of Los Angeles. SNIP So which highway did a band of leftist goofs, this group called "If Not Now LA" who apparently were leftist Jews imagining that appeasing Hamas would...

When they tell you who they are, you better listen. This isn’t about Palestine. It’s about Jews. It’s not about a cease-fire. It’s about destroying Israel. The Syracuse chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, the Syracuse Collective for Palestinian Liberation, the Resilient Indigenous Action Collective, and the Syracuse chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation organized the “Shut It Down for Palestine protest in downtown Syracuse, NY. The anti-Israel students targeted comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s show. Seinfeld is Jewish. He signed an open letter expressing support for Israel.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the streets surrounding Rockefeller Center Wednesday, clashing with NYPD cops and chanting “river to the sea,” long seen as an antisemetic slogan, in an effort to derail the annual tree lighting in support of Gaza. Waving Palestinian flags and signs calling for the “end to genocide,” the ralliers gathered along Sixth Avenue alongside hordes of tourists waiting in line to see the iconic ceremony. Unable to get to the NYC Christmas tree, the enormous crowd instead swarmed around the tree outside the News Corp building, which houses The Post and Fox News, and has already...
