A brutal terror attack shook northern Jerusalem on Monday morning when two Palestinian gunmen opened fire on a crowded city bus at Ramot Junction. The attack, carried out on Line 62 as the bus reached the junction, left <a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-866707">at least s</a><a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-866707">ix people dead </a><a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-866707">and dozens more wounded</a>. Witnesses and authorities described a chaotic and horrifying scene with multiple casualties and widespread panic.

Some media outlets <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/deadly-jerusalem-bus-station-shooting-police/story?id=125353564">reported</a> that the attack took place at a bus stop before passengers boarded.
Among those killed were Yaakov Pinto (25), an immigrant from Spain who had recently married; Rabbi Levi Yitzhak Pash, a yeshiva teacher; Israel Mentzer (28) and Yosef David (43), both residents of Ramot. Later, two other victims, including a woman in her 50s, succumbed to their injuries after being transported to hospitals. At least 21 people were injured, with several in critical or serious condition. The wounded were taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Hadassah-University Hospitals in Ein Kerem and Mount Scopus.
A soldier and several civilians returned fire, killing the two terrorists at the scene. The attackers were later identified as being in their twenties and from Palestinian towns El-Kubeiba and Katanna, near Ramallah. Both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad praised the attack.
Emergency responders described a scene of carnage. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics arrived rapidly, finding victims scattered across the road, sidewalks, and near the bus stop. “There was a lot of destruction, shattered glass, and people lying unconscious,” said MDA paramedic Nadav Taib. Multiple paramedics described working on critically wounded victims, including elderly individuals and young adults. MDA and United Hatzalah teams coordinated rapid evacuation efforts, with some victims receiving treatment on-site and others being transported under emergency conditions.
ZAKA volunteer Shimi Grossman <a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-866716">described</a> the area as a “battlefield,” with dozens of terrified civilians pointing out the wounded and multiple bodies near a bullet-ridden bus.
Israeli security forces sealed off Jerusalem, shutting down Highway 1 and launching a full-scale manhunt for any accomplices. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) dispatched four companies to Ramallah and surrounding villages for raids, interrogations, and area lockdowns. Authorities are working under the assumption that the attack might have involved logistical support or planning from others. “The Shin Bet security agency has arrested a resident of East Jerusalem on suspicion of helping carry out this morning’s deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem, Channel 12 reports,” The Times of Israel <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-september-8-2025/">reported</a>.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu <a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-866735">visited the scene</a> shortly after the attack. “We are in an intense war against terror on several fronts,” he declared. He praised the heroism of those who acted quickly, including an ultra-Orthodox soldier from the Hashmonaim Battalion who helped neutralize the attackers. Netanyahu vowed to continue military operations in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria, promising that such attacks would only strengthen Israel’s resolve.
President Isaac Herzog condemned the attack as an act of “absolute evil” and highlighted the bravery of civilians and responders. “In the face of this barbarity, we saw extraordinary acts of heroism,” he said. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, speaking from Budapest, urged the international community to make a clear choice between supporting Israel or siding with jihadist terrorism.

Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israelis have been common for decades. Among the myriad cases were the 2011 <a href="https://www.idf.il/en/mini-sites/palestinian-terrorism/today-we-remember-the-fogel-family-massacre/">massacre</a> of the Fogel family, whose father, mother, two sons, 11 and 4, as well as their three month-old sister, who was stabbed in her crib, were killed in their home; the abduction and murder of three teenage boys, Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaer, and Naftali Frankel, who were hitchhiking in Gush Etztion in 2014, and before that, of course, the Second Intifada.
According to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Institute_for_Counter-Terrorism">International Institute for Counter-Terrorism</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_in_the_Second_Intifada">during</a> the Second Intifada, 887 of the 1,137 Israelis killed in attacks from September 2000 to 2005 were civilians.
Just between May 2001 and May 2002, prior to the bombing at Hebrew University, there were these massacres: five Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at the HaSharon Mall in May 2001; 21 Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at the Dolphinarium Discotheque in June 2001; 15 Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at Sbarro’s Pizza in August 2001, including six children and a 31-year-old woman who was the only child of her parents and was five months pregnant; 11 Israelis murdered in a bus bombing on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem on December 1, 2001; 15 more Israelis murdered the very next day in a Haifa suicide bombing; 11 more Israelis murdered in a bus attack 10 days later in Immanuel; six Israelis murdered in an attack at a bat-mitzvah in January 2002; 11 more Jews killed in an attack on a yeshiva in March 2002, including a five-month-old child; 11 Jews murdered in a bombing at Café Moment in March 2002; 30 Israelis killed as they celebrated Passover in Netanya on March 27, 2002; 16 Israelis murdered in a suicide bombing four days later at the Matza restaurant, and 16 Israelis murdered in Rishon LeZion in May 2002.

There are various types of what I call “scavengers.”
There are “leeches,” people who seek to tear down the institutions of free markets because they believe that they are entitled to the gains of others.
There are the “lechers,” people who believe that the traditional family, the church, have to be torn asunder because those things are an imposition from the outside.
And then there are the “barbarians.”
The barbarians are people who emanate from places outside the United States, outside the West. And they see themselves as representatives of civilizations that have been laid low by the West. They believe that all of their failures are the fault of Western civilizations.
As I write in my new book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lions-Scavengers-Story-America-Critics/dp/1668097885/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tHy4SBp_hHF-vHhtJtJe1QIrxRz7s0Aj13eFEmYaXMkg9SrRHykHV_NHWW6XhQWoxW_rAOTa8CabDdBGhR-hiGxPlwULwtB0j0lCq6HTT435WCOIrExCNI18TVrbTwSf7166CTZarphzcNjpZCtlTA.3BzLBNx3TKfvkr_UgYlzL5F_NdZR1DsGAEXY3t63SrE&amp;qid=1756846409&amp;sr=1-1">Lions and Scavengers</a>”:
<blockquote>The barbarian is an outsider to Western civilization who believes that all of his own maladies and ills can be laid at the feet of the colonizers of the West. In fact, the barbarian argues, only violence against his purported victimizers can free him of the servile mentality that these very colonizers have instilled in him. The barbarian speaks in the language of mass-murdering communist monster Che Guevara —whose visage still graces the T-shirts of thousands of misbegotten American college students — championing the power of hatred: “Hatred is an element of struggle, unbending hatred for the enemy which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine.</blockquote>
The barbarians never posit a moral justification for how the destruction of the Western order ought to operate at their hands. They never explain just how, for example, a Palestinian state is somehow a burgeoning wellspring of human rights, or how an America without American values would make the world a better place. The only thing that matters is the destruction of the West, for in that destruction lies the supposed reclamation of the barbarian identity.

Last Friday, there was a big gathering of barbarians over in Detroit, Michigan, called the People&#8217;s Conference for Palestine. It was attended by a sitting member of Congress, Rashida Tlaib along with a wide variety of people who talked about the evils of America. They talked about how the country they were sitting in, this place that has given them prosperity, that has given them freedom, was an awful place. All of its core values are evil and terrible and need to be destroyed because America is a bad place, and Western civilization is responsible for all the ills of the rest of the world.
If you&#8217;re wondering why there are so many people in the West right are now moving toward right-wing parties, it is because those right-wing parties are saying, “We don&#8217;t need more of these people in our civilization.”
We don&#8217;t.
One speaker quoted someone saying that “the average American will never understand the plight of the Palestinian person, because the State of Israel is a carbon copy of the United States, and therefore the thing to do is to destroy the idea of America in American&#8217;s heads so that they can see the humanity of everybody outside of the warping of American exceptionalism and imperialism and all these evil things. We have to dismantle this idea of American exceptionalism, of supremacy, of being beyond reproach.”
He continued, “We live in an evil country.”
So get out. You can leave any time now.
Remember, the people who are being defended here by this person are the terrorist group Hamas.
There was not a single speaker at this event who said that Hamas should surrender, go into exile, and disarm, thus ending the war in Gaza and simultaneously ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
That was never mentioned by any of these people, because, of course, the fault always lies with America. It lies with the West. It lies with Israel. Anyone successful in the world is supposed to be a repository of exploitation.
Another speaker intoned, “We wanted to globalize the intifada, to expose to the world that Israel&#8217;s policies have nothing to do with security, that Israel tries to tell the world, and that our governments also regurgitate gaslighting us. We thought that if we could get this message out, the world would wake up and not allow Israel to do this, to do what it&#8217;s doing. And I must admit, that was a bit of naiveté on our part. But we have and we will continue to globalize the intifada, and we will force our government to listen to us, because they want us to accept a world that is inacceptable.”
“Inacceptable?” You mean unacceptable.
In any case, putting aside the grammar, the bigger problem here is the fact that “globalize the intifada” is a phrase that calls for widespread violence. That is what an intifada is, a violent uprising. Anybody who claims otherwise is lying to you.

This is happening on the soil of America, as I write about in “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lions-Scavengers-Story-America-Critics/dp/1668097885/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tHy4SBp_hHF-vHhtJtJe1QIrxRz7s0Aj13eFEmYaXMkg9SrRHykHV_NHWW6XhQWoxW_rAOTa8CabDdBGhR-hiGxPlwULwtB0j0lCq6HTT435WCOIrExCNI18TVrbTwSf7166CTZarphzcNjpZCtlTA.3BzLBNx3TKfvkr_UgYlzL5F_NdZR1DsGAEXY3t63SrE&amp;qid=1756846409&amp;sr=1-1">Lions and Scavengers</a>.” It&#8217;s not just that barbarians come from abroad and they enter our gates because we are soft-headed and soft-hearted. It&#8217;s also the enormous number of Americans who then side with the barbarians, because they don&#8217;t have confidence in their own civilization. They don&#8217;t have the belief in their own ideas to actually stand up to this garbage.
Lions are reflexively self-critical. What I mean by that is that in the West, there is actual moral merit to admitting your mistakes, to exposing yourself to the shame and ridicule of acknowledging guilt. That is something that good people tend to do.
Lions tend to do that because, after all, we live in a civilization, a Judeo-Christian biblically-based civilization, in which repentance is part of life. You&#8217;re supposed to acknowledge your sins so you can get stronger and get better.
The problem is that the barbarians and their allies are not interested in your proclamations of guilt. They&#8217;re not interested except to use it as a way to destroy you. They are interested in you shaming yourself. They want you to shame yourself and kneel before them so they can claim dominance. That&#8217;s the entire goal.
The co-founder of Doctors Against Genocide, last seen being ushered out of Congress after yelling at Marco Rubio during his confirmation hearings, called for the “taking out” of anyone who opposes his pro-terrorism agenda, saying they “need to be neutralized.”
This was in Detroit. Not in Qatar, or Iran.
This culminated with Rashida Tlaib, a sitting congresswoman from Michigan, ripping America and saying, “We are in your Congress.”
We know. We understand that the barbarian mentality is quite prevalent in our Congress.
“They thought they could kill us, rape us, and imprison us, violently, uproot us from our olive tree farms, starve our children to death, and we would disappear. Well, guess what? Now we&#8217;re in Congress and we&#8217;re in every corner of the United States,” she threatened. “We are just getting started.”
Yes, we understand that you have infiltrated Congress. We understand that. We understand there is a wide variety of people who have decided to stand in solidarity with all of this.
What is going to tear down the West is not just a West not confronted by the scavengers, but a West that allows the scavengers in; that somehow believes it is an aspect of its own greatness to allow the supremacy of people who wish to destroy its civilization.
That is the danger that lies within.

Two reported Palestinian terrorists will be featured speakers at an upcoming conference in Detroit.
Hossam Shaheen, who was released in February by Israel with other Palestinian terrorists in return for Israeli hostages, will speak at the People&#8217;s Conference for Palestine, which calls him “A Palestinian writer known for capturing the complexities of life in captivity.” He was arrested by Israel in 2004; according to <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/403227">Israel National News</a>, Shaheen “was sentenced to 22 years for shooting attacks targeting Israeli vehicles and was involved in throwing a hand grenade at a Border Police jeep, and was also involved in a conspiracy to send a suicide bomber to Jerusalem.”

Members of the DFLP committed the infamous Ma’alot massacre in 1994, in which 21 children were murdered.

Viciously anti-Israel Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Talib will also speak at the conference.

Two Reputed Palestinian Terrorists To Speak At Detroit Conference

Australian television presenter Erin Molan, a staunch defender of the West and Israel, denounced the Australian government for asserting they would recognize a Palestinian state in the wake of the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre of over 1200 Israelis, bitterly offering congratulations to Hamas and other terrorist groups.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who has presided over an era in which antisemitism has become pronounced in his country and anti-Israel actions have grown ever more public, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/australia-palestinian-state-albanese-3d32a2d823a430cb85d3f6a83158dd90">said</a> on Monday that his country would recognize a Palestinian state.
“A big congratulations to Hamas off the news out of Australia that our government, our Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister will be recognizing a Palestinian state,” Molan said acidly. “They are, of course, in control of Gaza. They are terrorists and they carried out October 7. So a big congratulations to them for this wonderful shot in the arm.”
“I’d like to pass on my condolences to the hostages, around 50, who are still trapped in tunnels, are desperate, dying, suffering immensely; to every child in Gaza, my condolences to you as well because this will only prolong your pain because our government has just given a massive big hurrah to the people responsible for your pain: Hamas, the terrorists,” she declared.
“And also a big shout out to every other heinous, murderous terrorist group in the world who was looking for a kind of way to gain legitimacy in the eyes of the Western world,” she said. “Who now know all they have to do is break into another country, slaughter, rape, chop off heads, hack them off on camera, burn children alive, and take hostages, including babies, then kill them, and ‘Bob’s your uncle’: there you go: statehood.”
“So just really a big congratulations all round to all the terrorists and condolences to every innocent person who will be hurt immensely by this, none more so than the hostages and those children in Gaza,” she concluded.

Molan said last November of Israel, “They are the only country currently fighting back and destroying the terrorists currently trying to destroy our way of life. &#8230; For most people in the West, that’s not the case. Yet. But as this movement grows — and it is — we won’t have an Iron Dome to protect us. Unlike Israel, the enemy in the West is already within.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday, President Donald Trump, in his inimitable style, forcefully dismissed the idea of recognizing a Palestinian state, declaring that it would be rewarding the terrorist group Hamas if such a thing eventuated.
“Is there any use at all in pressuring Israel now to come to some sort of longer-term solution?” a reporter asked.
“Well, you could make the case that you’re rewarding people, that you’re rewarding Hamas if you do that,” Trump replied. “And I don’t think they should be rewarded. So I’m not in that camp, to be honest. We’ll let you know where we are, but I am not in that camp, because if you do that, you really are rewarding Hamas, and I’m not about to do that.”

A conference has been held this week by the United Nations, sponsored by Saudi Arabia and France, to discuss the eventual declaration of a Palestinian state, which French President Emanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer support.
Author David Harris pointed out, “In 1938, 2 countries tried to appease genocidal Nazi Germany by sacrificing Czechoslovakia. Britain &amp; France.  In 2025, 2 countries try to appease genocidal #Hamas by sacrificing #Israel. Britain &amp; France.”

Famed Israeli hostage Emily Damari, a dual British-Israeli citizen who was held by Hamas for 471 days and lost two fingers after she was seized in the October 7, 2023, massacre Hamas and Gazan citizens perpetrated, in which they killed more than 1200 Israelis, fired back at Starmer:
<blockquote>
As a Dual British-Israeli citizen who survived 471 days in Hamas captivity, I am deeply saddened by your decision @Keir_Starmer to recognise Palestinian statehood. This move does not advance peace — it risks rewarding terror. It sends a dangerous message: that violence earns legitimacy. By legitimising a state entity while Hamas still controls Gaza and continues its campaign of terror, you are not promoting a solution; you are prolonging the conflict. Recognition under these conditions emboldens extremists and undermines any hope for genuine peace. Shame on you.

After Macron declared he would recognize a Palestinian state, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Christian broadcaster Tony Perkins:
<blockquote>
If Macron wants to have a secondary motion here for a state for “Palestine,” I suggested that what he should do is just give a part of the French Riviera, because he never said where this nation needs to be, this Palestinian state, or when it should be. So I suggest let’s make it French Riviera, and we can call it “Franc-en-stine.” That way everybody’s happy and Macron gets what he wants.  
And also, when one nation can just declare another place on the earth to be a state, then I think it would be fitting if the U.K. would declare France to be  British colony. Why not? This was outrageous for Macron to do this, and it came at a horrible time. It basically is a reward to Hamas and that’s one of the reasons they became unreasonable in talks to end the war in Gaza.
</blockquote>
Asked about a non-binding resolution, the Israeli Knesset discussed declaring sovereignty over the Biblical areas of Judea and Samaria as the U.N. discussed declaring a Palestinian state, Huckabee replied:
<blockquote>
When Europe and other areas of the world decide they’re going to start telling Israel that it’s got to let Hamas stay in Gaza, or that it’s going to declare unilaterally a Palestinian state, the reaction in Israel is not to surrender. The reaction in Israel is to say, “Okay, you want to do that? Then here’s what we’re gonna do. And what happened in the Knesset this week was a message that should be understood not only in the Palestinian Authority — who were pushing some of these European nations to take this position — but it ought to be a message to the Europeans that when you go out there and you start pushing Israel to surrender, their response is going to be the same any decent country would be: It’s to bow up and say, “Oh, no, we’re not. We’ll just get stronger, tougher, and we’ll dig in.”

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.

‘Go Die In Gaza Yourselves’: Former Spy Inside Al Qaeda Rips Palestinian Supporters

Al Qaeda

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled unanimously that victims of Palestinian terrorism can sue the Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization in United States courts.
In 2019, Congress passed the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (PSJVTA), which permitted victims of terror attacks to sue the groups responsible.
“The PSJVTA names the PA and PLO specifically and provides that they ‘shall be deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction’ in ATA (Anti-Terrorism Act of 1990) cases under two circumstances,” the Court <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/24-20">noted</a>. “The first jurisdictional predicate relates to respondents’ practice of paying salaries to terrorists in Israeli prisons and to families of deceased terrorists — conduct Congress has condemned as ‘an incentive to commit acts of terror.’ The second ties jurisdiction to respondents’ activities on U.S. soil.”
The Court’s ruling encompassed two cases, the first being Fuld et al v. Palestine Liberation Organization et al, which involved Ari Fuld — a father of four who held dual American-Israeli citizenship — being fatally stabbed in the back by a 17-year-old terrorist whose family received compensation as part of the Palestinian Authority&#8217;s “Pay for Slay” program.
&#8220;Palestinians and Israeli Arabs who are convicted by Israel of involvement in terror attacks in Israel&#8221; are &#8220;entitled to monthly &#8216;salaries&#8217; commencing with their arrest — and continuing for life for men who serve at least five years and women who serve at least two,&#8221; along with other financial incentives, Endowment for Middle East Truth <a href="https://emetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Pay4Slay_Fact-Sheet-FINAL.pdf">explains</a>.
A second case involved a group of 11 American families representing citizens injured during terror attacks in Israel, and the estates or survivors of those killed in the attacks between 2002 and 2004. That case initially won the victims a $655 million settlement against the Palestinians’ government, but then the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the PSJVTA’s personal jurisdiction provision violated the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.
But on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that the PSJVTA’s personal jurisdiction provision did not violate the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, adding, “The Federal Government may craft a narrow jurisdictional  provision ensuring American injured or killed by acts of terror have an adequate forum in which to vindicate their right to ATA compensation.”
The case from the 11 families encompassed <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24-20_f2bh.pdf">a number of incidents,</a> including the January 22, 2002, Jaffa Road Shooting in which a Palestinian Authority police officer opened fire on a pedestrian mall in Jerusalem, killing two individuals and wounding 45 others. It also included the January 29, 2004, Bus No. 19 Bombing, in which a Palestinian Authority officer detonated a suicide vest on a crowded bus, killing 11 people, including one of the plaintiffs.

The Daily Wire reached out to the Capitol Police for comment.
In a video attached to the post, Miller offered more detail about the incident, which he said happened as he was driving to work that morning.
&#8220;Some unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road when he couldn&#8217;t get my attention to show me the Palestinian flag, not to mention &#8216;Death to Israel,&#8217; death to me — that he wanted to kill me — and my family,&#8221; the congressman said.
Miller also expressed relief that his daughter or anyone else was not in the vehicle when the confrontation took place.
Some of Miller&#8217;s fellow House lawmakers offered words of support.

The suspect in the firebombing attack targeting a pro-Israel demonstration in Colorado is believed to be an illegal alien from Egpyt who overstayed his visa after it expired.
Sources with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) say that the suspect in the attack, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is an Egyptian national who entered the United States during the Biden administration and overstayed his visa, Fox News <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1929343593602597179">reported</a> late on Sunday.
Soliman is believed to have entered the country in August 2022 on a visa that expired in February of the following year. The Egyptian national filed an unknown claim with DHS’ United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Biden administration granted Soliman work authorization, which expired in March.

Authorities are now investigating the firebombing attack against the pro-Israel demonstration as an act of ideologically motivated terrorism.
“We are investigating this incident as an act of terror, and targeted violence.

“This act of terror is being investigated as an act of ideologically motivated violence based on the early information, the evidence, and witness accounts,” Bongino <a href="https://x.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1929320944830722101">added</a> in a subsequent post.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s call to shut down the Office of Palestinian Affairs (OPA) and consolidate its operations into the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is a timely and welcome move that restores clarity and coherence to American diplomacy in the region. The decision not only aligns with U.S. law and longstanding policy, but also reflects a realistic appraisal of the current geopolitical landscape.
The OPA operated as a quasi-independent diplomatic mission to the Palestinian Authority, with its head reporting directly to the State Department rather than to the U.S. Ambassador in Jerusalem. Its presence in the heart of Jerusalem, separate from the embassy, created confusion about America’s stance on the city’s status and appeared to circumvent both Israeli sovereignty and the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, which recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and directs that the U.S. embassy be located there.
This arrangement wasn’t new. The Trump administration closed the OPA in 2019 for precisely these reasons, merging its responsibilities into the newly established U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. That decision was consistent with President Trump’s broader effort to reshape American policy in the Middle East by acknowledging geopolitical realities rather than clinging to outdated diplomatic frameworks.
When the Biden administration reopened the OPA in 2022, it reignited controversy. The move was met with strong opposition from Israel, which declined to grant the office formal diplomatic status. The OPA resumed operations nonetheless, conducting outreach to the Palestinian Authority while sidestepping coordination with the embassy. In one notable instance, the office called for Israeli “restraint” in its response to the October 2023 Hamas attacks, just a day after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Such unilateral statements only deepened concerns about the office’s role and legitimacy.
Moreover, the OPA’s treatment of American citizens — particularly dual Israeli-American nationals — raised serious questions. Reports that such individuals were denied consular services through the OPA, and instead redirected to other diplomatic channels, suggested a politicized approach to basic diplomatic duties.
If the United States wishes to maintain constructive relations with the Palestinian people, those efforts should be directed either through the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem or through a diplomatic office in Ramallah, where the Palestinian Authority is based. The OPA’s placement in Jerusalem signaled an unresolved stance on the city’s status — a stance that contradicts both American law and policy.
Secretary Rubio’s proposal to close the OPA and fold its functions into the existing embassy structure is a common-sense step that reflects the reality on the ground. It reinforces the U.S.–Israel alliance, upholds American law, and eliminates a source of unnecessary diplomatic friction. It also brings U.S. policy in line with a broader strategic vision — one that prioritizes stability, mutual recognition, and pragmatic engagement over symbolic gestures.
The Jerusalem Center for Applied Policy (JCAP), among others, has long called for this change. Their conversations with members of Congress and the administration emphasized not only the legal inconsistencies of the OPA but also its potential to undermine both Israeli sovereignty and American credibility in the region.
Going forward, additional policy adjustments should follow this logic. Suspending aid and even shutting down UNRWA, reviewing funding for UNESCO and other UN agencies that undermine Israel’s sovereignty, and supporting Israel’s development efforts in Jerusalem are all aligned with a coherent and values-driven U.S. foreign policy. These steps reinforce not only America’s partnership with Israel but also its broader interest in a secure and stable Middle East.
Secretary Rubio’s leadership on this issue marks a step toward restoring diplomatic focus and credibility. In a region long burdened by ambiguity and contradiction, such clarity is both overdue and necessary.

On Wednesday, as Israel marked Yom HaZikaron (Day of Remembrance) to remember the tens of thousands of Israelis who have died defending the Jewish state, fires broke out, raging in the Judean Hills, and Palestinians celebrated while giving instructions to ignite more fires.

The roaring fires near Jerusalem forced the closure of Israel’s main artery, Highway 1. Fire and Rescue Commissioner Eyal Caspi <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-852084">announced</a> that the alert level had been raised to the highest degree. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar reached out to Greece, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, and Bulgaria for aid, although any help was not expected before Wednesday night.
Palestinians who hate Israel routinely refer to all Israelis as “settlers.” The terrorist group Hamas exhorted Palestinians to &#8220;burn whatever you can of groves, forests, and settler homes,&#8221; on Telegram, adding, &#8220;Youth of the West Bank, youth of Jerusalem, and those inside Israel, set their cars ablaze&#8230; Gaza awaits the revenge of the free,” The Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-852155">reported</a>.
The Jenin News Network Telegram channel urged Palestinians to &#8220;burn the groves near the settlements&#8221; on Telegram as well.
Palestinian news channel “Akhbar Filastin” posted on X, “A call to the revolutionary youth and all the heroes of the West Bank.. Settlers&#8217; homes and the surrounding areas are your target. Burn them with your Molotov cocktails and set fire to the grass near the settlement outposts.”
“Israeli police reportedly arrested or detained three suspects in connection with fires that broke out on Wednesday,” JNS <a href="https://www.jns.org/israeli-police-arrest-three-in-connection-with-jerusalem-area-fires/">reported</a>.
Knesset member Zvi Sukkot stated, “As the fires spread, calls are being published on Arab networks to ‘set fire to the occupied forests and settlements,’ and there is a real concern, based on past experience, that Palestinians will attempt to set additional fires in Judea and Samaria and throughout the country.”
Yom HaZikaron ends Wednesday night, at which time Yom Ha’Atzmaut (Independence Day) begins. All Independence Day performances and activities were canceled.

Dangerous Fires Rage In Israel, National Emergency Declared. Palestinians Call For More Arson.

Fires

The Harvard School of Public Health suspended its partnership with a Palestinian university whose faculty and students have endorsed and collaborated with Hamas and other terror groups, according to the <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/3/27/harvard-suspends-birzeit-partnership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Crimson</a>.
The suspension follows extensive reporting by The Daily Wire into Birzeit’s terrorist ties that led to 27 members of Congress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmakers-demand-harvard-cut-ties-with-hamas-collaborator-palestinian-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling for</a> Harvard to “immediately shut down this partnership and condemn Birzeit University.”
Harvard suspended the partnership as part of the Harvard School of Public Health’s investigation into Harvard’s FXB Center, which started last summer, School of Public Health spokeswoman Stephanie Simon told the student paper.
A memorandum of understanding between the FXB Center and Birzeit expired in recent months and Harvard decided not to renew it, according to Simon. While an official partnership will not exist, the FXB center, which collaborates with Birzeit faculty and scholars, will reportedly continue.
In an Q&amp;A with the <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2025/03/a-year-into-role-chan-school-dean-focused-on-driving-change-amid-deep-challenges/">Harvard Gazette</a>, Dean Andrea Baccarelli said a &#8220;blue-ribbon panel of experts&#8221; were appointed to conduct the review of the FXB Center to &#8220;rigorously evaluate the FXB Center’s current status and future potential.&#8221; The review is expected to conclude this spring.
The FXB Center <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-to-host-summer-program-at-palestinian-university-dominated-by-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-hosted</a> the “Palestine Social Medicine Course” with Birzeit University last summer, where students learned about “settler colonialism.” The program was originally supposed to take place on Birzeit’s campus in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, until it <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-cancels-program-with-hamas-friendly-university-over-security-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was relocated</a> to Jordan “due to security concerns.” Under the suspension, Harvard will no longer co-sponsor the program this year and Harvard students will not be eligible to participate because of security concerns. Instead the 2025 Social Medicine Course will be sponsored by Birzeit and the World Health Organization.
At the time, Simon told The Daily Wire she was aware of Birzeit’s student body’s association with Hamas, but said it has not affected its program.
“Student government elections at Birzeit typically involve candidates affiliated with each of the major political parties in the region, including Hamas,” she said. “These student government elections are not germane to and have not affected the FXB Center’s work with the scholars and students at Birzeit’s Institute of Community and Public Health.”
Birzeit University <a href="https://archive.ph/eRaU6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called for</a> “glory for the martyrs” after Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, and has a long history of promoting terrorists on its campus. The university has hosted funerals and parades for terrorists on its campus, where several buildings are named after terrorists.
Hanan Ashrawi, chairman of Birzeit University’s board of trustees, denied that Hamas sexually assaulted Israelis on October 7, and has defended Hezbollah and the lynching of Israeli soldiers, according to <a href="https://camera-uk.org/2019/05/14/indy-fails-to-challenge-hanan-ashrawis-claim-shes-always-rejected-violence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CAMERA UK</a>.
On its website, Birzeit <a href="https://www.birzeit.edu/en/about/history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasts</a> that it is a “thorn in the side of the occupation,” and says it is committed to making an impact through “resistance.”
In 2023, the Birzeit student body elected two blocs affiliated with terrorist organizations — Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP )— into the student government. In the election, which had a 77 percent voter turnout, the Hamas-affiliated Islamic bloc won 25 of the 51 seats, while the PFLP picked up six, according to the <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-744135" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jerusalem Post</a>.
In July, five members of the student council were arrested for attempting to carry out a terror attack on behalf of Hamas. The students were found with an assault rifle and thousands of dollars of cash from Hamas, the Times of Israel <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-university-students-in-west-bank-arrested-for-planning-significant-terror-attack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Birzeit <a href="https://archive.is/q0BXN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared a letter</a> from its faculty and employee union last April which praised the “global intifada,” called for an Israel boycott, and refrained from calling the United States by name, instead opting to use “Turtle Island,” a term used by so-called “anti-colonialists” to suggest that the United States exists on stolen Native American land.
Birzeit’s faculty includes notable terrorist sympathizers, including assistant professor Basil Farraj who wrote <a href="https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/45912" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a eulogy</a> for Walid Daqqa, the leader of a group that kidnapped and killed an IDF soldier.
Philosophy professor Abdaljawad Omar appeared at a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rashida-tlaib-faces-calls-to-be-removed-from-congress-after-speaking-at-terrorist-connected-event" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PFLP-linked conference</a> attended by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, where he praised the October 7 attacks for opening “so many doors of political possibility” and said the “promise of liberation it holds would not have manifested in our conference without the capacity to resist.” Omar also denied accusations of rape and criticized the IDF for refusing to allow Israel to be taken over by the “Palestinian military” in <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2023/10/how-and-why-israels-disinformation-campaign-is-enabling-its-massacre-in-gaza/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an op-ed</a> shortly after the attack.
“Israel chose not to engage in negotiations with any groups within its borders, leading to substantial collateral damage in numerous hostage situations,” Omar wrote. “The Palestinian military strategy aimed to delay Israel’s retaking of the area around the strip. In contrast, Israel was intent on swiftly reclaiming the territory, seemingly without regard for the safety of its own citizens.”
Several other schools <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-dark-relationship-between-u-s-universities-and-the-anti-american-school-controlled-by-terrorists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have had relationships</a> with Birzeit, including Rutgers University, which affirmed its relationship with Birzeit in May amid student encampment protests. William Paterson University entered into an <a href="https://www.wpunj.edu/provost/international-academic-agreements/Birziet.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreement with</a> the Hamas-run university in 2022 for exchange programs, sharing curricula, and joint degree programs. Other schools, such as MIT, have recently co-hosted conferences, invited Birzeit professors for speaking events, or had student groups visit its campus.
