UK TAXPAYERS SHOCKED: Iranian Suspect In Israel Embassy Plot Housed For Free

11 May 2025 — British police arrested five Iranians this month, suspecting them of planning a terror attack on the Israeli embassy in London. One of the men, age 40, had lived for over six months in a taxpayer-funded home in Rochdale run by Serco.

Reports say he crossed into the UK illegally from France by boat and then claimed asylum. Neighbors said migrants living there paid nothing for rent or bills — everything was covered by taxpayers.

Terrorism expert Anthony Glees called the Calais boat route a “clear and present danger” to national security. He said warships — not lifeboats — should meet migrants at the border to protect Britain.

Serco has tried using more private homes for asylum seekers instead of expensive hotels. But this plan has raised worries about safety and put more strain on local housing markets already under pressure.

DEPAUL University UNDER Fire: Jewish Students’ Legal Battle Ignites Emotion

03 April 2025 — Lawyers for two Jewish students attacked at DePaul University will hold a press conference Wednesday to announce new developments in their case. The Lawfare Project claims the university has failed to protect Jewish students.

“DePaul University failed to protect Max and Michael when they were viciously attacked by masked assailants last fall,” stated Jaclyn Clark, Counsel for the victims. She criticized the university for not ensuring student safety and vowed accountability. Despite releasing suspect photos, no arrests have been made since the attack.

The Lawfare Project, with Grant and Eisenhofer P.A., will speak outside the Daley Center at 10 a.m. Senior Counsel Gerard Filitti will join victims Max Long and Michael Kaminsky to discuss legal actions.

This case highlights ongoing concerns about hate crimes and university responses, emphasizing the victims’ legal battle against DePaul University.

DEPAUL University UNDER Fire: Jewish Students’ Attack Sparks Outrage

02 April 2025 — Lawyers for two Jewish students attacked at DEPAUL University will hold a press conference on April 2, 2025. They plan to announce a significant development in the case. The incident occurred last November, and criticism has mounted over the university’s response.

The Lawfare Project has accused DEPAUL of not adequately addressing the attack or ensuring Jewish students’ safety. Lead attorney Jaclyn Clark stated, “DEPAUL University failed to protect Max and Michael when they were viciously attacked by masked assailants last fall.” She emphasized that the university’s lack of action is unacceptable.

Photos of the suspects were released shortly after the attack, yet no arrests have been made.

They aim to discuss their next legal steps regarding this troubling incident.

JEWISH Man’s SHOCKING Encounter with Swastika Vandalism on Cybertruck

17 March 2025 — A New York man was stunned when he caught another Jewish man drawing a swastika on his Cybertruck. The incident unfolded in front of a New York Post reporter and photographer, who documented the arrest.

The suspect, Michael Lewis, 42, faced charges of aggravated harassment but was later released. Avi Ben Hamo, the truck’s owner, reportedly saw Lewis park his Subaru before defacing the vehicle with the symbol.

Ben Hamo confronted Lewis as he tried to escape. “What are you doing?” Hamo asked in a video capturing their exchange. This event underscores ongoing tensions over hate symbols and their effects on communities.

TRAGIC ATTACK in Israeli Village: Three Innocents Murdered

06 January 2025 — Gunmen opened fire on vehicles, including a passenger bus, killing three people. The Magen David Adom rescue service confirmed the victims were two women in their 60s and a man in his 40s.

The Israeli military has sealed off villages in the area to hunt for suspects believed to have fled to a nearby Palestinian village. “Paramedics have confirmed the deaths,” stated Magen David Adom, while troops are actively “pursuing the terrorists” near Al-Funduq.

Palestinians have carried out many attacks against Israelis recently, including shootings and stabbings. Violence has surged in the West Bank since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack from Gaza escalated tensions as Israel fights for hostages’ return.

UK Antisemitic ATTACK on Jewish Kids SPARKS Outrage

30 November 2024 — Jewish children in the United Kingdom faced a shocking antisemitic attack recently. Two buses carrying students from a London Jewish school were targeted by about ten teens with large rocks. The attackers boarded the buses, swore at the students, and filmed them while making obscene gestures.

After leaving the buses, they hurled heavy rocks at them, causing panic among the young passengers. An 11-year-old student expressed confusion and fear about where the attackers got their rocks and what they intended to do with their videos. This incident highlights growing concerns about unchecked antisemitism in Europe.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism warns that such attacks are not isolated but part of a troubling trend of increasing Jew-hate across Western Europe. A spokesperson emphasized that British Jews feel less safe showing visible signs of their faith in public due to rising hostility.

Calls for arrests and legal consequences for perpetrators are growing louder as communities demand action to protect Jewish citizens and their children from further harm.

ISRAEL’S Unbreakable Spirit: Rebuilding After Tragedy

28 November 2024 — Raemer, an Israeli resident originally from the Bronx, plans to rebuild her kibbutz despite recent attacks. She believes ISRAEL remains the safest place for Jews. Her determination shows a deep sense of belonging and ownership over her homeland.

Raemer survived the October 7th attack, which was the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Despite this tragedy, she maintains faith in Israel’s defense forces. She acknowledges their failure but expects accountability and improvement from them.

Her perspective highlights a broader sentiment among Israelis who choose to stay and rebuild rather than flee. This resilience is rooted in a belief that safety comes from self-defense and controlling one’s destiny.

Raemer notes that rebuilding is harder for those whose homes were directly invaded by terrorists, as those memories linger indefinitely.

Temple University Investigates SHOCKING Pro-Palestinian Protest TARGETING Hillel

07 September 2024 — Temple University is investigating a pro-Palestinian demonstration that targeted the campus Hillel building. Protesters used megaphones to chant at the occupants, causing concern among university officials.

We are deeply saddened and concerned by these events," said Temple University President Richard Englert. He emphasized that targeting individuals based on their Jewish identity is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

The demonstration began at the main campus library and involved both students and non-students. Video footage shows protesters holding signs, Palestinian flags, and chanting outside the Rosen Center, which houses Temple’s Hillel building.

Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), condemned the protest in a letter to the university. He criticized Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) for creating a hostile environment for Jewish students by demanding that Temple condemn Israel and divest from Israeli holdings.

HARVARD Student’s BRAVE Stand Against Antisemitism at RNC

18 July 2024 — Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Harvard student, spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee about the antisemitism he faced on campus. He revealed that anti-Israel and anti-American students openly called for Hamas-style attacks against the U.S., with no action from Harvard’s administration.

Kestenbaum criticized Harvard for not condemning Hamas’s atrocities, including the murder of 45 American citizens and taking 12 hostages on October 7. Once a Bernie Sanders supporter, he now believes the far-left has abandoned both Jewish and American people.

He declared that the Democratic Party is ideologically poisoned and that this poison has spread to America’s youth. Kestenbaum expressed his support for President Trump’s policies to expel foreign students who violate laws and harass Jewish classmates, receiving cheers from the audience.

ANTI-ISRAEL Protests Erupt In Violence Near LA Synagogue

09 July 2024 — A violent anti-Israel demonstration near the Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles erupted into chaos on June 23. Clashes between pro-Israel supporters and anti-Israel protesters resulted in at least one arrest. Agitators allegedly blocked the synagogue entrance and harassed congregants.

Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, criticized the demonstrators for alienating potential allies among left-leaning Jewish-Americans. “They’re alienating one of their potential major allies,” Swart told Fox News Digital. He argued that these actions do nothing to help the Palestinian cause.

President Biden condemned the violence, calling it “dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic and un-American.” Demonstrations have intensified since Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping hundreds more. The conflict has exacerbated a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

JEWISH RESIDENTS Attacked: Chaos Erupts at Library Event

04 July 2024 — Three Asheville residents attended a West Asheville Library event titled “Strategic Lessons from the Palestinian Resistance,” which drew 60 to 80 people. David Moritz, Monica Buckley, and Bob Campbell, two of whom are Jewish, live-streamed the session out of concern for their safety. When discovered, Buckley’s phone was forcibly taken, leading to violence.

Buckley described the chaotic scene where she was attacked by a crowd while trying to retrieve her phone. She reported being punched and choked during the altercation. Moritz and Campbell were also assaulted when they intervened.

This incident highlights growing concerns about antisemitism in America. According to Breitbart News, nearly half of Americans believe antisemitism is a serious issue today.

ISLAMIC STATE Plot to Kill Jews in England Foiled

14 May 2024 — Two men accused of plotting to gun down Jews in an Islamic State-inspired attack were held without bail Tuesday after appearing in a London court. Walid Saadaoui, 36, and Amar Hussein, 50, planned to use automatic weapons to kill Jews, police, and military personnel. The charges cover activities from Dec. 13 until last Thursday.

The arrests come amid a surge in antisemitic incidents in the U.K., which hit record highs last year. This spike followed Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel and Israel’s subsequent military actions in Gaza. Community Security Trust reported these troubling trends as part of their advocacy against antisemitism.

Amanda Bomsztyk, northern regional director of the trust, emphasized the need for extensive security measures for the Jewish community due to such threats. “This is one of a number of recent and ongoing cases that demonstrate why the Jewish community needs such extensive security measures,” she said.

A third man, Bilel Saadaoui, 35, was also charged with making arrangements for his brother Walid Saadaoui’s expected death during the plot’s execution. The case underscores ongoing security concerns for Jewish communities worldwide amid rising extremist threats.

POLICE CHIEF’S Apology Sparks Outrage: Meeting with Jewish Leaders Set After Controversial Remark

22 April 2024 — London’s Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Mark Rowley, is under fire after a contentious apology implied that being “openly Jewish” could provoke pro-Palestinian demonstrators. This statement has triggered widespread criticism and calls for Rowley’s resignation. He is scheduled to meet with Jewish community leaders and city officials to address the issue.

The backlash comes at a time of increased tension in London due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Pro-Palestinian marches have been common, featuring anti-Israel sentiments and support for Hamas, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by the UK government. The police are tasked with maintaining order during these events to ensure public safety.

In an attempt to repair ties, senior police officers have contacted the Jewish man referenced in their initial statement. They plan a personal meeting to apologize and discuss steps to improve security for Jewish residents in London. The police have reiterated their dedication to ensuring the safety of all Jewish Londoners amid ongoing concerns about their well-being in the city.

This meeting aims not only to address this particular incident but also serves as an opportunity for law enforcement leaders to reaffirm their commitment towards protecting diverse communities within London, emphasizing inclusivity and respect for all citizens regardless of background or belief system.

MET POLICE Spark Outrage: Officer’s Comment on Jewish Visibility Stirs Controversy

20 April 2024 — A Metropolitan Police officer’s remark to a Jewish man about being “quite openly Jewish” has ignited widespread criticism. Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist described the comment as “hugely regrettable.” He also implied that Jews in central London might be inviting negative reactions by opposing anti-Israel protests.**

Twist observed a pattern where individuals record themselves at protest sites, suggesting they aim to provoke confrontations. This perspective has been slammed for seemingly blaming the victims instead of focusing on the provocations from the protesters. Critics believe this approach could further jeopardize Jewish residents by implying that their visibility is provocative.

**The public response was immediate and fierce, with many accusing the Metropolitan Police of insinuating that being visibly Jewish in central London is problematic. The police force’s management of this incident has provoked significant backlash across social media and from community leaders who are calling for accountability and clearer guidance from law enforcement officials.**

Supreme Court: Last RESORT for CUNY Professors Suing Union Over Alleged Antisemitism

22 January 2024 — A collective of professors from the City University of New York (CUNY) is taking legal action against a teachers union, Professional Staff Congress/CUNY (PSC). They accuse PSC of fostering antisemitism. The professors see their ultimate hope in the Supreme Court’s intervention. Despite their resignation from the union due to its perceived anti-Jewish bias, state law obliges them to maintain an association with it.

The dispute ignited when PSC endorsed a “Resolution in Support of the Palestinian People” in 2021. This resolution was interpreted as antisemitic and anti-Israel by six professors, prompting their withdrawal from the union. Nonetheless, New York State law dictates that these same professors must be represented by this union in collective bargaining discussions.

Avraham Goldstein, a mathematics professor and one of the six dissenters, voiced his distress over being compelled to align with a union he believes issues antisemitic statements without his approval.

This legal battle follows on from a significant Supreme Court ruling in Janus v. AFSCME (2018). The court decided that public employees who are not members can’t be forced to pay fees to a union as it infringes upon their First Amendment rights.

GAZA NIGHTMARE: Mizrahi Unveils Horrifying Hamas Atrocities

20 December 2023 — Mizrahi, a U.S. citizen with Israeli roots, recently spoke at a crowded synagogue in Malibu, California. She recounted the harrowing experience her family faced during the October 7 Hamas attack on Kfar Aza, Israel. Her cousin and his daughter lost their lives while his wife and remaining children were abducted.

The Los Angeles Times confirmed that Mizrahi’s cousin Nadav Goldstein Almog and his daughter Yam were among the many victims in their kibbutz during the assault. Goldstein Almog’s wife Chen and their three children were among over 200 Israelis kidnapped and transported to Gaza.

A doctor who examined several freed hostages last month corroborated Mizrahi’s account to CBS News. He revealed that Hamas employed meticulously orchestrated psychological torture against the captives, including claims that Israel had ceased to exist. The family heard from survivors that they had been relocated to Hamas tunnels towards the end of their captivity where they encountered mistreated female hostages.

Maya and Dvir Rosenfeld managed to survive for 24 hours in their home’s safe room with their infant son during the Kfar Aza onslaught. They believe an open door led Hamas operatives to assume their home had already been targeted, thus escaping capture.

YOUTHFUL Hostility Towards Israel EXPOSED: What the Recent Polls Are Telling Us

17 December 2023 — A survey conducted on December 13-14 involving 2,034 registered voters revealed a disturbing trend. Young people displayed significantly more hostility towards Israel than any other age group. This finding coincides with a rise in antisemitic protests on university campuses and major cities.

The poll also unveiled some seemingly contradictory responses among young participants. A substantial 73% agreed that the October 7 attack was an act of terrorism, while 66% concurred that Hamas’s intent was genocidal. Moreover, an overwhelming majority of 76% believed that Hamas had committed crimes against women, including rape.

Interestingly, young people seemed more informed than older generations on one particular issue — Palestinian support for Hamas. A majority of those aged between 18-24 (64%) believed that “Hamas is supported by the majority of Palestinians in Gaza”, compared to just 34% overall. This perception aligns with recent polls indicating broad Palestinian backing for Hamas.

Joel B. Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News and host of Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot reported these survey results.

MASSIVE Stand Against ANTISEMITISM: Boris Johnson Joins Thousands in Historic London March

28 November 2023 — On Sunday, an unprecedented number of people, including former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, took to the streets of London to protest against antisemitism. The march was strategically organized a day after a large pro-Palestinian rally and amidst rising tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Organizers hailed it as the most significant demonstration against antisemitism in nearly a century.

The crowd was a sea of Israeli flags and Union Jacks, with participants bearing powerful placards like “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.” Alongside Johnson, U.K. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and other high-ranking government officials marched in unity with the Jewish community.

Notably detained at the event was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, former leader of the far-right English Defence League. Earlier this month, Robinson had an altercation with police during an Armistice Day march in London after refusing to leave despite warnings that his presence could distress others.

Among those marching was 75-year-old Malcolm Canning from London who voiced his concerns about current anti-Jewish sentiment. He expressed his alarm at how anything associated with Judaism feels under attack now and lamented reaching such a stage in this country.

ANTI-ISRAEL Protests: The Truth About Jewish Sentiment in America

17 November 2023 — Recently, anti-Israel groups staged an unauthorized protest in Hollywood, causing traffic disruption and demanding a Gaza ceasefire. This demand is not backed by any mainstream Jewish group. Organizations like “Jewish Voice for Peace” and “IfNotNow” have demonstrated their contentious views through actions such as honoring convicted Palestinian terrorists and failing to condemn Hamas terror.

On the other hand, last October saw thousands of Jews from various political backgrounds participate in a lawful, peaceful demonstration in Los Angeles. They marched and rallied to support Israel against terror. In a similar vein, nearly 300,000 Jews attended the largest pro-Israel rally ever held this week in Washington DC.

American sentiment mirrors these pro-Israel rallies. A recent poll revealed two-thirds agree with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stance against a ceasefire until Hamas is completely defeated. This follows Hamas’s violation of the existing ceasefire agreement on October 7th that resulted in over 1200 Israeli civilian deaths.

In Israel itself, opposition to the war is minimal and primarily advocates for freeing hostages taken by Hamas rather than simply calling for a ceasefire. These demands hold Hamas accountable — something conspicuously absent from the LA protest.

ALARMING Surge in ANTISEMITIC Crimes: London Deploys Over 1,000 Officers Ahead of Rally

14 October 2023 — In response to a disturbing increase in antisemitic hate crimes, Scotland Yard has deployed over a thousand officers. This action precedes a pro-Palestinian rally planned for tomorrow. The extent of HAMAS support among London’s Muslim and secular radical populations is yet to be determined.

London’s Muslim community, which makes up about one-sixth of the city’s population, has grown to 1.3 million due to diversity and mass immigration policies by the two main political parties. In contrast, census data shows that the Jewish population has decreased to an estimated 265,000.

Following the deadly HAMAS attack on October 7 that took over 1,000 Jewish lives, numerous protests have erupted. As antisemitic incidents in Britain have escalated since the conflict began, two Jewish schools in London have decided to close until Monday.

Senior Officer Laurence Taylor noted a significant rise in antisemitic crimes compared with last year’s figures during the same period (30 September — 13 October). He mentioned that while Islamophobic incidents have also slightly increased, they are nowhere near as prevalent as the surge in antisemitism.
