On Christmas Eve, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a tweet wishing Christians around the world a Merry Christmas, pointing out that Israel is a tolerant nation that protects the right of people from different faiths to worship at their holy shrines.
Netanyahu then made an extraordinary and warm offer from a head of state, offering to personally lead Christians next year on a tour of their most holy sites, from the Jesus boat in the Sea of Galilee in the north of Israel to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu stated:
<blockquote>
It&#8217;s a pleasure for me on Christmas Eve to be here, standing in Jerusalem, it&#8217;s right behind me, the Holy City. I&#8217;m very proud to be the prime minister of Israel, a country that says &#8220;Merry Christmas&#8221; first to its Christian citizens, and to our Christian friends around the world, I&#8217;m proud that Israel is the country in which Christians can not only survive, but they thrive because we believe in this friendship among people, and we protect the rights of everyone to worship in the holy shrines behind me.
So now I have a proposition for all our Christian friends: I&#8217;m going to take next year, in Christmas, for those who come to Israel, I&#8217;m going to take a guided tour; in fact, I&#8217;ll be your guide, on this guided tour, and think of all the places you can walk. You can go to the Jesus boat in the Sea of Galilee, you can get to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre right behind me, any places that you&#8217;ll want to visit in the footsteps of Jesus, and the origin of our Judeo-Christian heritage. So, please come to Israel, next year in Jerusalem, and Merry Christmas to all of you.

In January 2024, Claire Shipman, who served as the chair of Columbia University’s board of trustees before she became the acting president of Columbia University, minimized the open antisemitism at the university, tried to keep a pro-Israel member of the board unaware of the school’s negotiations with anti-Israel demonstrators, and tried to remove that member of the board and replace her with an Arab one.
“We need to get somebody from the middle east [sic] or who is Arab on our board,” Shipman wrote on January 17, 2024, as <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/columbia-president-claire-shipman-privately-said-school-needed-to-add-an-arab-board-member-and-remove-a-jewish-one/">The Washington Free Beacon</a> reported. “Quickly I think. Somehow.”
The next week, she ripped board member Shoshana Shendelman — whose family fled Iran after the Islamic 1979 revolution and who had spoken out against the antisemitism on campus, wanting to restore law and order — saying she had been “extraordinarily unhelpful &#8230; I just don’t think she should be on the board.&#8221;
Later that year, in April, Shipman — a former senior national correspondent for ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Good Morning America,&#8221; who is married to Jay Carney, former President Obama&#8217;s White House press secretary — reportedly instructed vice-chair Wanda Greene to freeze Shendelman out about negotiations with the demonstrators, saying Shendelman was “fishing for information.” On April 22, Green responded, “Do you believe that she is a mole? A Fox in the henhouse?”
“I do,” Shipman answered.
Greene later added, &#8220;I’m tired of her.”
“So, so tired,&#8221; Shipman replied.
On Tuesday, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) — who led the charge in Congress questioning university presidents from Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania about antisemitism on campus — joined Education Workforce Committee chair Tim Walberg (R-MI) in a letter asking for “clarifications on the attached correspondence&#8221; and inquiring about Shipman wanting an Arab on the board, saying it “raises troubling questions regarding Columbia’s priorities just months after the October 7th attack, which was the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.”
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-2388">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a>
“Shipman downplayed and outright mocked those who sought to expose the disgusting culture of antisemitism on Columbia’s campus,” Stefanik wrote on X.
Speaking of the issues Shipman had with Shendelman, they wrote that it raises “the question of why you appeared to be in favor of removing one of the board’s most outspoken Jewish advocates at a time when Columbia students were facing a shocking level of fear and hostility.&#8221;
Columbia issued a response to the Free Beacon about the story, stating, “These communications were provided to the Committee in the fall of 2024 and reflect communications from more than a year ago. They are now being published out of context and reflect a particularly difficult moment in time for the University when leaders across Columbia were intensely focused on addressing significant challenges.”
“Columbia declined to provide additional context for the messages on the record,” the Free Beacon noted succinctly.

Columbia University Prez Wanted To Replace Jewish Board Member With Arab, Agreed Jew Was A ‘Mole’

As Israelis have tried to return to normalcy after weeks of sirens forcing them into shelters in the middle of the night, on Tuesday night in Israel, sirens again went off as the Houthis in Yemen, proxies for the despotic regime in Iran, fired another missile at Israel that was intercepted, despite the ceasefire agreed to by Israel and Iran on the morning of June 24.

In July 2024, the Houthis hit an apartment building near the U.S. Embassy branch office in Tel Aviv with a drone attack, which killed one person and injured 10 others.
According to the Defense Intelligence Agency, Iran has supplied the Houthis with weapons and weapon components.
“Critical components of various missiles were seized and, upon further analysis, found to share near-identical features with Iranian missile systems. Between 2015 and 2024, the United States and its partners have interdicted at least 20 Iranian smuggling vessels, seizing ballistic, cruise, and surface-to-air missile components, antitank guided missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other illicit weapons destined for the Houthis,” the DIA <a href="https://ye.usembassy.gov/dia-report-showcases-iranian-origin-of-houthi-weapons-interdicted-at-sea/">reported</a>, adding, “DIA has released the report to enhance public understanding of Iran’s malign activities and to provide insights into Department of Defense and national security issues. The report advances U.S. intelligence efforts to display the clear connections between Iranian weapons and the weapons used in Houthi attacks.”

Israel Thwarts Latest Houthi Attack As Iranian-Backed Missiles Keep Coming

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon issued a blanket condemnation of universities across the country, averring that virtually none of them have acted in accordance with federal law regarding non-discrimination in admissions.
Dhillon and her law firm joined the Alliance Defending Freedom to represent The Daily Wire when it <a href="https://adflegal.org/case/daily-wire-v-occupational-safety-and-health-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">became</a> the first major company to file a lawsuit against the emergency vaccine mandate implemented by the Biden administration in 2021. Other groups later joined the case, which was consolidated into National Federation of Independent Business v. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of The Daily Wire and its fellow plaintiffs.
Dhillon <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/07/01/assistant-a-g-almost-every-school-violated-federal-discrimination-law/">said</a> with regard to Harvard University, “even if they never took a penny of federal funding again in the future, they’ve taken billions annually over the past many years. And so, the United States has jurisdiction over discrimination that has occurred during the time. And, to be very clear, every time a vendor like a university like Harvard takes federal money, they sign certifications saying that they’re compliant with federal law. Except they aren’t.”
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial&amp;_gl=1*r8odly*_gcl_au*MTQ5MDUzNjQ0NC4xNzQ1ODQ0MzMyLjEwNDAyMzM0NDQuMTc0NzY1MzIxNy4xNzQ3NjUzMjE3*_ga*MTM1OTk4Njg2NS4xNzA2NzE2NTAy*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NTEyOTIzMDQkbzMyJGcxJHQxNzUxMjkyOTI5JGo1NyRsMCRoMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-75638">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a>
“Almost no university in the United States has been compliant with federal law when it comes to anti-discrimination in admissions, and particularly the most elite ones,” she said, widening the argument. “They have quotas. They have discrimination. This sort of wave of antisemitism on American campuses, which I believe stems from foreign funding, but is absolutely allowed and exacerbated by callousness or even reckless disregard by these universities, is making life miserable for students, and the American government’s not going to put up with it. So, we have a choice as to where the federal money goes. And a minimum criterion is you can’t be in violation of federal law.”
According to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:320,&quot;335559739&quot;:80,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}">, universities and colleges that receive federal financial aid are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin. A student cannot be prevented from any educational opportunities or subjected to discriminatory treatment based on their color or ethnicity. Those anti-discrimination laws are enforced by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), a division of the U.S. Department of Education.
In 2019, the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) released the results of a seven-year study into illicit funding of U.S. universities by foreign governments. The study <a href="https://isgap.org/follow-the-money/">found</a> “substantial Middle Eastern funding (primarily from Qatar) to US universities that had not been reported to the Department of Education. &#8230; ISGAP has uncovered and established that the foreign donations from Qatar, especially, have had a substantial impact on fomenting growing levels of antisemitic discourse and campus politics at US universities, as well as growing support for anti-democratic values within these institutions of higher education.”
ISGAP followed that report with another titled, “<a href="https://isgap.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Ongoing_Failure_Report_Yale.pdf">The Ongoing Failure to Report: Yale, Qatar, And Undisclosed Foreign Funding</a>.”

DOJ Warns: Almost All U.S. Universities Are Breaking Federal Anti-Discrimination Laws

Critics of the United Nations have slammed the international organization for hindering the work of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has reportedly donated more than 50 million meals to Gazan residents.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres claimed on Friday that the GHF in Gaza is “inherently unsafe” and “killing people.” “Guterres said U.N.-led humanitarian efforts are being ‘strangled,’” Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-chief-says-us-backed-gaza-aid-operation-is-unsafe-killing-people-2025-06-27/">reported</a>.
GHF chairman Johnnie Moore responded on Monday, “I’m surprised that something so right, something so simple as feeding people, has become so controversial. We have poked a lot of bears.” He added that the GHF thought it was only “poking the bear of a designated terrorist organization that wants to steal the aid from people,” but in the process unveiled “the underbelly of the United Nations and all of these organizations around the world,” JNS <a href="https://www.jns.org/ghf-lack-of-un-condemnation-of-hamas-killing-of-aid-workers-shows-bodys-underbelly/">reported</a>.

Asked about reports that the U.N. is pressuring agencies to cut ties with the GHF, U.N. Watch’s Hillel Neuer stated, “It’s not surprising because we’ve seen this attitude consistently from the leadership at the UN; Guterres over a year ago instructed all UN agencies, basically forbade them from dealing with any other effort that would replace UNRWA [United Nations Relief and Works Agency] in any way. There were reports from several of these agencies that Guterres gave an order to the heads of all UN humanitarian agencies, do not deal, cooperate in any way with any US-led initiative to replace any of the work that UNRWA is doing. So the latest reports are just a continuation of that kind of policy. In my opinion, it’s kind of like a Mafia-type approach; if you dare cooperate with this entity, we’ll break your legs.”
“I think it is politically motivated because we’re seeing an incredible amount of inversion; the argument put out by the UN — and they’ve been vehement in the past several weeks, more than we’ve ever seen on almost any other issue, certainly from UNRWA,” Neuer explained. “Because they see it as existential, that a more effective non-politicized, authentic, sincere humanitarian effort— would show that UNRWA is the opposite. And it is the opposite. &#8230; UNRWA has a whole political pathological agenda telling Palestinians they have a ‘right of return,’ which means the right to invade Israel on October 7 and massacre Israelis. That’s the true agenda of UNRWA.”

“Three weeks ago, Hamas terrorists murdered clearly identified GHS staff as they were returning from a day feeding Gazan civilians,” Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N., stated. “All those pictures; they stopped the bus, tortured them in the middle of the road, and executed them. The Secretary-General said nothing. OCHA (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territory): nothing. UNRWA: nothing. Silence. &#8230; Outrageously, the UN has also emboldened false allegations against the GHF about violent incidents, shamelessly promoting claims from Hamas-controlled sources. The blindness and hatred &#8230; exploded into absurdity, with some actors even promoting the insane conspiracy that the aid being distributed contains drugs and that the people risking their lives to feed families are secretly pushing narcotics. It’s delusional. I don’t get it. Why don’t they cooperate? Why not to work together? Let us speak plainly. If you really care about Gazan children, stop sabotaging the only program that reaches them instead of terrorists.”

Moore issued a post on X on Monday in which he pleaded for the media to stop lying about GHF’s efforts, writing, “If you see some piece of info reported by the press from the Gaza Health Ministry then you can know that piece of information is not accurate. It is a LIE. It is part of the info war in an active war &amp; when you see a media outlet report stats from the Gaza Health Ministry it shows their bias. Some press try to justify this by saying the ‘Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry’ but adding ‘Hamas-run’ isn’t to scrutinize the data … it’s often to JUSTIFY their use of the stat for other reasons. It is no better. It’s often a disingenuous tactic at best but sometimes intentionally deceptive. It causes further harm to the Gaza people and prolongs a terrible war.”

Ahmed al-Masri, 26, a key organizer of protests against Hamas in April and May, was cruelly tortured by Hamas. “His feet were deliberately broken with large stones and iron crowbars; he was also shot in the legs,” the Telegraph <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/06/29/hamas-tortures-gaza-civilians-while-world-distracted/">reported</a> this week, adding, “The atrocity is part of an escalating wave of bloodshed unleashed by Hamas against the ordinary Gazans it purports to represent.”
“In recent weeks, reports have multiplied of people being dragged out of aid lines, tortured in basements, or simply executed in broad daylight,” the Telegraph continued.

‘We’ll Break Your Legs’: U.N. Accused Of ‘Mafia-Type’ Response To U.S.-Led Gaza Relief Efforts

White House Border Czar Tom Homan on Monday slammed CNN for promoting an app that lets users track ICE agents, calling for the Justice Department to investigate the app.
The app, called ICEBlock, tracks the locations of ICE agents, asking its users to pinpoint where ICE agents are. Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan brought the app — and the fact that CNN promoted it on air — to the attention of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“It sounds like this would be an incitement of further violence against our ICE officers,” Leavitt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ice-officials-slam-cnn-for-promoting-app-that-helps-illegals-dodge-federal-agents?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=ICE+Officials+Slam+CNN+For+Promoting+App+That+Helps+Illegals+Dodge+Federal+Agents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “It’s unacceptable that a major network would promote such an app that is encouraging violence against law enforcement officers who are trying to keep our country safe.”

On Monday, Homan said the app was &#8220;simply disgusting,&#8221; saying &#8220;any network that covers that is disgusting as well.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s only a matter of time before ICE officers are going to be ambushed by some nut, like what happened in L.A., throwing a Molotov cocktail, throwing bricks at these officers,&#8221; Homan said. &#8220;This is just disgusting at every level, so I hope DOJ dives in this deeply, because ICE is concentrating on public safety threats and national security threats.&#8221;

&#8220;So you open the app — it looks like a map — and users can tap the map to report an ICE sighting in their area. And then everybody who uses the platform within five miles of that sighting will get a push alert,&#8221; Duffy added.
&#8220;This shouldn’t be a partisan issue,&#8221; Homan said, noting that assaults on ICE agents have climbed 500%. &#8220;This shouldn’t be an issue anybody is against.&#8221;
ICE agents, Homan said, are &#8220;already in a dangerous job going after the worst of the worst.&#8221;
&#8220;These guys are putting their lives on the line every day going after the worst of the worst, and a national security threat, and this app makes it much more dangerous,&#8221; the border czar added. &#8220;It’s incredible that those who enforce law, all of a sudden they’re the bad guys, the ones who break the law, they’re victims. It’s disgusting.”

Border Czar Tom Homan Blasts CNN For Promoting ICE Tracking App: ‘Simply Disgusting’

An author who once worked as a double agent so he could spy within the terrorist group Al Qaeda — where he gave vital information to Western intelligence and prevented mass attacks —weighed in on the Middle East, pointing out that Arabs in Gulf states should feel closer to Israel than the Palestinians, while offering other powerful insights.
Aimen Dean, the author of  <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nine-Lives-Wests-inside-al-Qaeda-ebook/dp/B07BHMZHYT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1529173204&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=inside+alqaeda&amp;asc_campaign=&amp;asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Fnews%2Fmideast%2Fhe-spied-al-qaeda-inside-until-he-had-run-his-n883681&amp;asc_source=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2F_desktop">&#8220;Nine Lives: My Time as the West&#8217;s Top Spy Inside al Qaeda&#8221;</a> and the host of the podcast “Conflicted,” once was a member of Al Qaeda but became a mole inside the organization when he started working for British intelligence in 1999. He was born in Saudi Arabia.
“Let me make something absolutely clear. I am not a Zionist — not in any way, shape, or form. I am an Arab,” he wrote on X. “My roots are in Bahrain, I was born in Saudi Arabia, and I live in the UAE. My family spans generations across all three countries. On top of that, I am also a British citizen — a nationality I hold with honor, especially given my years working alongside UK security forces. It was a privilege, and an eye-opening chapter of my life. So no, I don’t carry any Zionist affiliation.”

“But let me now ask the question I rarely hear answered honestly: Why should I support groups like Hamas, the PFLP, or other Palestinian factions that have long embraced terrorism — even when their targets have been us, the Gulf Arabs?” he asked rhetorically. “Let’s look at reality: Israel has never fired a single bullet at any GCC country — not at Saudi Arabia, not at Bahrain, not at Kuwait, not at the UAE, not even at Qatar or Oman. Not even a BB gun.”
“Meanwhile, Palestinian terrorist groups have assassinated our diplomats, hijacked our planes, bombed our embassies, and worked hand-in-hand with our enemies — even as we offered them political, financial, and moral support for decades,” he wrote. “And now? Hamas and its allies have fully aligned with the Ayatollahs of Iran, our true existential enemy &#8211; the same regime that has plotted coups in Bahrain, that has flooded the region with missiles and militias, and that has openly declared its intent to topple our governments and destroy our societies. Let’s remember — it wasn’t Israel that launched thousands of drones and ballistic missiles on Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It was Iran. Through the Houthis. With Hezbollah operatives. With Hamas blessings. And with Iranian weapons.”
“So why should I betray my own people, my own security, my own dignity &#8211; to support a group that would see us fall, just to serve Tehran’s ambitions? No, I am not a Zionist. But the Zionists are NOT my enemy. My enemies are in Tehran, in Beirut, in Sana’a, and &#8211; yes &#8211; among those Palestinian factions who turned against the very hands that once fed them. This is not about being trendy or emotional. This is about loyalty, logic, and survival. In the thread below, I’ve listed decades’ worth of attacks Palestinian terrorists have carried out against the Gulf nations &#8211; despite all we gave them. Read it. And maybe then you’ll understand why many of us have stopped pretending,” he concluded.

He then listed the Palestinian terror attacks against Gulf states:

Dean also blasted the Hamas massacre in October 2023, writing, “If Gaza was truly a prison, why didn’t Hamas break out through Egypt? Why always toward Israel? Because Egypt would shoot — not negotiate. &#8230; It’s always easier to guilt-trip the Gulf Countries.  So no — we will not join your death cult. We will not die for the cause while Ramallah dances and Cairo locks the gate. And to all the comfortable, self-righteous voices screaming ‘solidarity’: shut the f*** up and go die in Gaza yourselves if you care that much. Don’t lecture us from safety. Don’t demand sacrifice from others while you live off hashtags.  If the people of Ramallah aren’t bothered &#8211; if their own fellow Palestinians can dance on the same day others die &#8211; why the hell should we?”

Dean also thanked President Donald Trump for not glad-handing the theocratic, despotic Iranian regime:
