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.

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.

Harvard Cuts Ties With Hamas-Friendly Birzeit University 

Harvard University

On Wednesday, President Trump, the most powerful defender the Jewish people have ever had in the White House, took aim at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, saying, “He used to be Jewish.”
“Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I&#8217;m concerned,” Trump declared. “He used to be Jewish. He&#8217;s not Jewish anymore, he&#8217;s a Palestinian.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
President Trump on Chuck Schumer:
&quot;Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I&#39;m concerned. He used to be Jewish. He&#39;s not Jewish anymore, he&#39;s a Palestinian. Okay&#8230;&quot;
😂😂 <a href="https://t.co/zAxVSr2zCo">pic.twitter.com/zAxVSr2zCo</a>
&mdash; Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) <a href="https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1899878585042890974?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 12, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
To compare Schumer to Trump over their respective actions regarding the Jewish state of Israel and their responses to anti-Semitism in the United States illuminates just how pro-Jewish Trump is and how cavalier Schumer — who is Jewish — is regarding both of those issues.
In his first term, Trump was responsible for perhaps the single greatest achievement in the volatile Middle East, where Arab nations had traditionally either gone to war with Israel or refused to recognize the Jewish state. The Abraham Accords broke the logjam between Israel and its Arab neighbors, as the bilateral agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain normalized the relations between the two countries.
Previous presidents had paid lip service to the idea of moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem, but only Trump had the guts to actually implement the move. He also acknowledged Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, a vital move for Israel’s security, as Arabs had traditionally used the area to fire down on Jews living below.
In his second term, Trump has made clear his unyielding opposition to Hamas and championed the move to eradicate anti-Semitism on university campuses, even withdrawing $400 million from Columbia University for its inaction regarding the issue.
Conversely, Schumer has a history of throwing the Jewish state under the bus when it suits his political purposes. In 2016, he announced he would support the virulently anti-Israel Keith Ellison to become chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Ellison, who was the first Muslim member of Congress, had a record of viciously ripping Israel, including <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/schumer-keith-ellison-dnc/">posting a photo</a> of a sign in Hebron declaring Israel to be an apartheid state when he visited the Jewish state, defending openly anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and urging the Democratic Party to insert pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel planks into the Democratic Party platform at the DNC.
When the Iran nuclear deal, which posed a mortal threat to Israel, was announced, Schumer took his time before announcing he would oppose it, making sure that the deal would go through before he went on record opposing it. His cynicism extended to <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/chuck-schumer-iran-deal-121275" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assuring</a> Democratic senators that he would not try to convince them to oppose it. Schumer <a href="http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2015/08/07/in-split-with-obama-sen-chuck-schumer-opposes-iran-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>:
<blockquote>
There are some who believe that I can force my colleagues to vote my way. While I will certainly share my view and try to persuade them that the vote to disapprove is the right one, in my experience with matters of conscience and great consequence like this, each member ultimately comes to their own conclusion.
</blockquote>
In May 2021, after witnessing attacks on Jews in New York City by supporters of Hamas and the Palestinians, former NY State Assemblyman Dov Hikind <a href="https://twitter.com/HikindDov/status/1395733399290142723" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eviscerated</a> Schumer, noting Schumer had <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-of-senator-chuck-schumers-speech-israeli-elections-are-the-only-way/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cynically used his last name</a>, which is closely akin to the Hebrew word “Shomer,” which means guardian, to claim that he is a “protector” of the Jewish people. “He’s not protecting anybody except himself. He’s so terrified of AOC running against him that he is betraying the fundamental values, betraying his people,” Hikind stated.
Schumer was silent as vicious anti-Semitic actions took place across American universities. “A recent congressional report shows how he texted then-Columbia president Minouche Shafik telling her to keep her head down as the noise is only coming from Republicans,” JNS <a href="https://www.jns.org/the-shomer-who-isnt-watching-out-for-the-jewish-community/">reported</a>. He refused to bring an anti-Semitism bill to the Senate floor. He brazenly tried to interfere in Israeli politics by declaring elections should be held to oust Prime Minister Netanyahu, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/schumer-calls-for-end-of-netanyahu-led-government-in-israel-ebcb15c1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> last March, in the middle of Israel’s desperate war against Hamas, “At this critical juncture, I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel, at a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government.”
As Senate Majority Leader, Schumer consistently stalled on imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court for equating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hamas terrorist leaders and threatening to arrest Netanyahu.
In January, Schumer endorsed the chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, who supports the hard-left anti-Semites of his party and is a devotee of DEI policies, to head the Democratic National Committee.

Over the weekend, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents reportedly detained an activist who participated in the anti-Israel protests at Columbia University last spring.
Fox News&#8217; Alexis McAdams <a href="https://x.com/alexismcadamstv/status/1898794208296898646?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X that sources told her that Mahmoud Khalil, identified as a lead <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/03/09/palestinian-activist-mahmoud-khalil-sipa-24-detained-by-immigration-and-customs-enforcement-lawyer-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">negotiator</a> for the &#8220;Gaza Solidarity Encampment&#8221; who graduated in December, was taken into custody by ICE at his university-owned apartment in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. She also noted that student groups are &#8220;demanding&#8221; his release.
Khalil&#8217;s attorney said federal authorities detained her client on Saturday night. Online records <a href="https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a> a &#8220;Mahmoud Khalil&#8221; from Syria is in ICE custody at a detention facility in New Jersey.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The arrest seems to be linked to a new State Department &#8220;Catch and Revoke&#8221; effort first <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/03/06/state-department-ai-revoke-foreign-student-visas-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by Axios in which visas of foreign nationals who appear to be &#8220;pro-Hamas&#8221; are cancelled.
An unnamed official <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/columbia-encampment-negotiator-in-ice-custody-after-trump-admin-revokes-his-student-visa-state-department-official-confirms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cited</a> by the Free Beacon said Secretary of State Marco Rubio directed the visa revocation and told the news outlet: &#8220;This should serve as a warning to foreign students on temporary status in America — under this administration, if you support terror groups, we will deport you.&#8221;
Khalil&#8217;s attorney, Amy Greer, said federal immigration officials claimed they were acting on a State Department order to revoke her client&#8217;s green card, per the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/columbia-university-mahmoud-khalil-ice-15014bcbb921f21a9f704d5acdcae7a8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a> (AP). Greer also said authorities declined to tell Khalil&#8217;s wife, who is eight months pregnant, why her husband was arrested.
&#8220;We have not been able to get any more details about why he is being detained,&#8221; Greer told the AP. &#8220;This is a clear escalation. The administration is following through on its threats.&#8221;
A State Department spokesperson told The Daily Wire that visa records &#8220;are confidential under U.S. law. Therefore, we cannot comment on individual visa cases.&#8221; The spokesperson added, &#8220;For questions on removals or green card status, we refer you to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).&#8221;
The Daily Wire has also reached out to the Homeland Security Department — the parent agency of ICE — for comment.
On Sunday, Columbia University released a <a href="https://communications.news.columbia.edu/news/statement-ice-reports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that said: &#8220;There have been reports of ICE around campus. Columbia has and will continue to follow the law. Consistent with our longstanding practice and the practice of cities and institutions throughout the country, law enforcement must have a judicial warrant to enter non-public University areas, including University buildings. Columbia is committed to complying with all legal obligations and supporting our student body and campus community.&#8221;
Protests erupted at Columbia University and other institutions after Israel went to war against Hamas in Gaza following the October 7 terrorist attacks in 2023, leading to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-senators-demand-biden-admin-crack-down-on-campus-anti-semitism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> of harassment and acts of anti-Semitism on campuses.

An Iranian woman who opposes the Islamic despotic regime in Iran, as millions of Iranians do, and was to engage in dialogue about Iranians connecting with Israelis, was prevented from speaking at an event in England when pro-Palestinian demonstrators screamed and would not let her speak.
Faezeh Alavi, an artist and PhD candidate at the University of St. Andrews, was speaking at a forum titled “From Conflict to Connection, Israelis and Iranians in Dialogue” at King’s College in London on Thursday night. At one point, Alavi spoke of Iranian dissidents who had raised the traditional lion and sun flag of Iran, not the Islamic flag that the theocratic regime had put in its place.
As she spoke of the flag, a pro-Palestinian activist started yelling at Alavi, shouting, “How can you talk about the flag being changed when you align yourself with Israelis?” The activist then launched into screaming, abetted by her cohorts, who joined with her in bellowing about “Palestine.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

A large percentage of Iranians despise the Iranian regime, which is a prime supporter of the terrorist groups that are bent on eliminating the state of Israel, such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
The Persian nation, which predated the Islamic regime, had an intermittent history of being friendly to the Jewish people; the Persian emperor Cyrus, who was known for his tolerance, permitted the Jews to return from exile and build the Second Temple in Jerusalem roughly 2,500 years ago. Jews have lived in Iran (Persia) for roughly 2,700 years.
President Donald Trump <a href="https://2017-2021.state.gov/the-islamic-republic-of-iran-a-dangerous-regime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> in 2018, “The future of Iran belongs to its people. They are the rightful heirs to a rich culture and an ancient land. And they deserve a nation that does justice to their dreams, honor to their history, and glory to God.”
Six days after the barbaric Hamas massacre of more than 1,200 people in Israel, the Atlantic Council <a href="https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/iransource/israel-hamas-iran-views/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted:</a>
<blockquote>
Anyone familiar with Iranian society knows that anti-Israel attitudes have mostly failed to go beyond the most vociferous supporters of the regime despite years of attempted indoctrination. On October 8, the day after the attacks, as Tehran’s Persepolis FC faced Gol Gohar in the city’s iconic Azadi soccer stadium, some pro-government figures tried to raise the Palestinian flag from the stands. The backlash they faced was immediate. Thousands of fans started shouting a slogan formulated in the rowdy and rude tone of soccer fans everywhere, “Shove the Palestinian flag up your a–.”
</blockquote>
“Iranians oppose the Islamic Republic’s destructive policy against Israel, just like they oppose its other interventionist goals,” the Atlantic Council noted. “They are asking a basic question: why waste Iranian resources on terror groups in the region, which has also resulted in more international isolation for Iran with severe consequences for Iranian livelihoods? &#8230; Second, unlike the Arab world, Iran has no history of widespread antagonism to Israel.”

A myth pervades Western societies that is unbelievably dangerous and stupid.
The myth is that all cultures are like ours and all other people outside ours are really just like us. They think the same way. They want the same things. All that is required is a little bit of kindness and education for everyone to blossom into a good Westerner.
That is a lie.
It is a truly dangerous lie because granting that credibility to people who actively want something different, who foment evil, and who teach their children evil — when you say, “they don&#8217;t really want evil, they&#8217;re not really evil, and they don&#8217;t believe evil things; really, it&#8217;s just about us not being nice enough” — results in surrendering to the evil.
That is the story of the Palestinian nationalist cause for the last 80 years. The Palestinian nationalist cause is based on an evil supposition, which is the destruction of the state of Israel. It is about the extirpation of the Jews and the destruction of the state of Israel.
How do we know this? Because the call for a Palestinian state originally ended with the creation of one in Jordan. The original territory of Israel was supposed to include both Jordan and Israel. Then, under the British mandate, Jordan was segmented and made into a Palestinian state for the Arabs. Under a variety of negotiations and white papers from the British, the supposition became that Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip would eventually become an Arab state from the Partition Plan of 1947. 
That was rejected by the Arabs. The Arabs said there can be no Jewish state under any circumstances at all. Palestinian nationalism is rooted in rejectionism of a Jewish presence anywhere in that area and the extirpation of all Jews from that area, which is why every two-state solution that has ever been proposed by anyone has included the complete, Judenrein nature of a Palestinian state — no Jews living within an Arab Palestine — despite the fact that 20% of Israel is actually Arab Muslim.
This also became clear between 1948 and 1967 when Egypt was in control of the Gaza Strip and Jordan was in control of Judea and Samaria; there was no attempt at a Palestinian state.
In fact, in 1964, when the Palestine Liberation Organization was originally founded, calling for a Palestinian state, Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip were not in Jewish hands. So the call for a Palestinian state when the PLO was founded was genuinely for the destruction of the state of Israel. The Palestinian cause has always been about the destruction of the state of Israel.
That is why the Palestinians will simultaneously insist that Gaza is their home but also a refugee camp. A refugee camp from where? Tel Aviv.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2143-member-exclusive">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
It&#8217;s why the Palestinians have always called for a “right of return” that would allow them to enter Israel and destroy it from within. This has always been the Palestinian nationalist cause.
Because of the West’s own stupid idea that everyone thinks like the West, the West has decided this is just a territorial dispute, that if the sides could just get over themselves and if lines were drawn in the right places, everybody would go home happy. What everybody wanted was two states side by side in peace and prosperity. 
But that was a lie. It is a lie. And it will always be a lie because the Palestinian nationalist cause is to reject the Jewish state and eliminate Jews. 
That is the only way to understand what happened on Thursday.
Israel and Hamas had an ongoing hostage deal, a so-called cease-fire. The deal was that Hamas was supposed to trickle out live hostages and dead bodies of the people kidnapped on October 7, and in return, Israel was to turn over murderous terrorists.
Israel has foolishly agreed to these sorts of deals in the past and is agreeing to those deals now because Israel puts a high priority on not only getting live citizens home, but also getting dead bodies home for proper burial.
It is a policy with which I disagree because it only further incentivizes hostage-taking. But that is the policy of the state of Israel. That&#8217;s why a cease-fire is in place. 
The Hamas terror group runs the Gaza Strip with the acquiescence and support of the civilian population, which supports the destruction of Israel, as does is the Arab civilian population in Judea and Samaria, with Arab children inculcated in the idea of eradicating the Jewish people.
A couple of days ago, Hamas announced that three members of the Bibas family — the mother and her nine-month-old and three-year-old sons — were dead when they were kidnapped by Palestinian civilians on October 7. Hamas claimed the boys were killed in an Israeli airstrike.

The bodies were returned to Israel. After a forensic analysis and autopsy, we now know from the IDF that the two little boys did not die of malnutrition. They were apparently murdered roughly one month into their captivity. 
Even if they&#8217;d been killed in an airstrike, that would still be on Hamas; Hamas initiated this war with its murderous attack.
The IDF has now made public the physical details of the bodies of these babies to various other countries. IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/middleeast/israel-bibas-boys-among-dead-hostages-not-shiri-intl-latam/index.html">said</a>, “Ariel and Kfir were brutally murdered in cold blood during their captivity in Gaza in the first weeks of the war. The terrorists didn’t murder them with gunfire – they murdered them with their bare hands. Afterwards, they committed terrible actions in order to try and hide the horrific acts.”
So they mutilated the bodies to make it look as though they were not, in fact, beaten or strangled to death. Remember, they were taken by people not in Hamas uniforms. They were taken by Gazan civilians. This is what evil sounds like. True evil.
There&#8217;s no other word for it. There are no synonyms that do justice to the barbarity, cruelty, and horror of what this ideology generates. So Hamas was supposed to release the bodies of these children they had murdered along with their mother in exchange for live terrorists.
One party is seeking to bring back the dead bodies, the corpses of children who were murdered. The other is celebrating the release of terrorists who murdered children. This is the moral logic being utilized. Not all cultures are the same. Not all people think the same way. Not all people inculcate the same values in their children.
That is a stupid, idiotic, foolish, counterproductive, and dangerous Western conceit.
That is the only way to look at what happened on Thursday in the Gaza Strip. Hamas held a parade, an actual parade, with the coffins of Jewish babies as celebratory music played. Representatives from all of the various terror groups, including Fatah, were present. Fatah is the military wing of the so-called moderate Palestinian Authority that is supposedly ruling Judea and Samaria at this point. People cheered as celebratory music played in the background. The voices of children can be heard in the massive crowd. The crowd showed up to cheer, to celebrate the dead bodies of babies. 
This is a culture of death. It is an evil culture.
I&#8217;ve never even heard of a culture that celebrates the death of babies — who celebrates the actual murder of children, not civilian casualties, which are tragic and awful and should be avoided. But the actual purposeful murder of babies? There is no culture on earth that I&#8217;ve even heard of that does this. And yet that&#8217;s what it was.
The “innocent, starved, genocided” Gazan civilians cheered as the coffins of babies were transported. By the way, children took part in this too. 
The awful evil tragedy of children being indoctrinated into something like this is beyond words. It is unspeakably evil and horrifying. A full stage and sound production was built; there were exhibits with the coffins. Children came on stage to dance and sing where the babies’ bodies had been just one second prior. They were somewhere between five and ten years old, smiling, cheering, dancing up and down. 
These are the people that Western leftists support, these human pieces of debris. 
These people.
Western self-flagellation, Western self-hatred, Western belief that all sins in the world can be laid at the feet of the West is not just self-defeating. It is wrong. It foments evil. It makes evil more common. 
Hamas initiated this war knowing precisely what would happen, and they did so knowing the Western Left would come to their defense. And, indeed, they were not disappointed. The Western Left did come to their defense because the Western Left is of the opinion that the more barbaric, evil, and angry a group of people is, the more they must have been victimized by evil overlords.
By the way, Hamas actually labeled the coffins with the supposed “date of arrest,” which was October 7.
Further, the coffins were locked. The Israelis had to run them through metal detectors to ensure they were not booby trapped with bombs because that is something that Hamas absolutely would do. Hamas gave them keys to the locks, but the keys did not match the locks. They gave them false keys to the locks.
Then, when Israel was finally able to open the coffins, they found them filled with leaflets of Hamas propaganda. As a final indignity, Israel had to do forensic analysis on the charred bodies of a baby, a toddler and a mom.
They did this on purpose. They kidnapped babies to murder them, and then they held their bodies to free terrorists.
That is evil. And a culture that celebrates it in the streets is evil. Every aspect of it was celebrated by a huge percentage of the population in the Gaza Strip. That means that the “two-state solution” is, was, and always will be completely unworkable because one side wants to kill everyone on the other side in any case.
The final indignity involved was the mother&#8217;s body. When analyzed, it turned out it was not her body at all. Hamas handed over a random woman&#8217;s body instead. 
On this same day, five buses were loaded with bombs in Israel. Three of them blew up near Tel Aviv. The initial assessment from the security establishment is that the plan for the attack came from Iran. It was carried out by Hamas terrorists from Judea and Samaria.
It was only through the grace of God that the bombs did not kill hundreds of people. The goal was presumably to set off bombs simultaneously around Israel; draw troops to those areas; breach fences between the Arab areas of Judea, Samaria, and the Jewish areas; and then rush into various Jewish villages and commit another October 7, this time from the Judea and Samaria area. 
President Trump is absolutely right. The time to unleash hell is long past. President Trump acknowledges realities on the ground better than any politician I&#8217;ve seen. He recognizes that the “two-state solution” nonsense is precisely that. It is rooted in wishful thinking, not in reality. When President Trump suggests that Gaza be cleared of its population and turned into a place of investment and decency with people being allowed to go elsewhere, he is posing the only decent solution that I have heard to this entire situation for decades.
This bizarre, stupid Western notion that you can project your own values onto people who celebrate, cheer, and train their children to cheer the death of babies, the purposeful murder of babies, is morally perverted. And the sick, false equivalence by some people in the media infrastructure who suggest there is somehow an equivalence between attempting to target a terrorist who hides behind a child (and the child being a civilian casualty) and breaking into a family&#8217;s home, kidnapping and carrying babies to terror tunnels, and murdering them is morally perverted.

West Bank

Last summer, I went undercover in the West Bank, sneaking in with a Muslim film crew while hiding my Jewish identity to ask Palestinians the kinds of questions no other journalist had dared to since the war broke out. And that’s the real scandal — because before October 7, I wasn’t exactly a journalist. I was a comedian. The fact that it took a comic to go in there and do their jobs for them is outrageous. The mainstream press, with all its resources, all its foreign correspondents, all its Middle East &#8220;experts,&#8221; refused to ask the most basic questions. Arguably the most viral report of the war — what the Palestinian people actually think — wasn’t broken by a major network. It was broken by me.
If you follow my three-part series, you’ll see that <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAYxi4WpYJ4/?igsh=MXVsdXBob2Y3Y2hlMQ==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I almost died</a> just for asking simple questions. That’s how deeply ingrained the hatred is. That’s how dangerous it is to expose the truth.
My raw, unfiltered interviews — conducted randomly on the streets of Ramallah — exposed the depths of Jew-hatred and propaganda in Palestinian society. But the most chilling encounter came when my Muslim producer arranged a private, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9xWl1ZJshF/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">one-on-one interview</a> with a man who had been freed from Israeli prison not once, not twice, but four times — an alleged terrorist.
When I released the interview this January, after the first wave of prisoner releases, it went viral for its shocking revelations. In our conversation, Arafat Mudar Mohamed displayed just how deeply the Palestinian people have been indoctrinated. He claimed — with absolute certainty — that Hamas is incapable of killing women and children for &#8220;religious reasons,” that Israel never actually left Gaza in 2005, that no Israel civilians died on October 7, and, perhaps most disturbingly, that the hostages in Hamas captivity were actually enjoying their time there.
To prove this last claim, he pulled up photos from Hamas’s staged propaganda during the 2023 ceasefire — a grotesque spectacle in which hostages were forced to smile as they were paraded before cameras, surrounded by armed terrorists. But we now know that freed hostages have revealed the full extent of this deception: not only were they forced to smile, but they were drugged beforehand to appear happier and more cooperative.

This moment from the interview is what I believe the world must grasp most urgently. Propaganda doesn’t just work on the privileged Ivy League liberals bending over backward to reinforce their absurdly black-and-white principles of DEI — it is most effective on the Palestinian people themselves. DEI has conditioned the West to see the world in terms of the oppressed versus the oppressors, the weak versus the powerful, the dark-skinned versus the white. And this is precisely where Hamas’s propaganda succeeds.
The narrative they are selling to the world is simple: they are David, the small, brown-skinned, slingshot-wielding underdog, standing against the monstrous Goliath of Israel. But in reality, Israel is David. A tiny Jewish state — just the size of New Jersey — surrounded by 54 Muslim and Arab nations, many of whom openly call for its destruction. The real Goliath is the Islamic world, which seeks to erase the one Jewish country from existence, create a caliphate across the Middle East, North Africa, and ultimately extend its rule across the entire world. This is not just a regional conflict — it is a global mission for domination, and Israel is the only thing standing in its way to go after the rest of The West.
The irony, of course, is that Israel is just as brown-skinned as Gaza. While the media works tirelessly to paint Israelis as &#8220;white colonizers,&#8221; in truth, over half of Israel’s Jewish population are Mizrahim — Jews kicked out of Arab and North African countries who look just like their Palestinian neighbors. Many Israelis are darker-skinned than the very Hamas leaders orchestrating these terror attacks. Yet because it doesn’t fit the pre-packaged DEI narrative, the media ignores this truth entirely.
And while Gaza has suffered a year and a half of destruction as Israel tried to find its hostages and destroy terror tunnels and rockets, Hamas’s propaganda machine is somehow bigger and more sophisticated than ever. The cruder, shaky videos of a year ago have now evolved into Hollywood-style productions with drones, stedicams, and professionally built sets with fancy laminated backdrops. They’re not just spreading disinformation — they’re refining it, making it more convincing, more visually compelling, more impossible to argue against. Instead of using their resources to rebuild Gaza, Hamas is pouring money into selling their war narrative to the world, but even worse to convince the Palestinian people that they are winning a war which they are by all measures losing. All Hamas has left is PR.
And with the latest hostage releases playing out like a scene from “The Hunger Games” — a dystopian horror show in which Jewish captives are thrown to the mobs like meat to a pack of hyenas — it’s clear that this continued indoctrination will only fuel the next generation of so-called “martyrs” in Gaza and the West Bank.
The mainstream media refuses to confront the reality behind these disturbing images: innocent women and elderly men, tortured for months, swarmed by thousands of Palestinians clamoring to spit on them, kick them, and take selfies — while their terrorist captors force them to smile and wave like puppets in a twisted performance. The media also won’t show you the child abuse Hamas broadcasts proudly: Palestinian children, dressed in headbands and military gear, brandishing machine guns and chanting “Death to the Jews.” This is clearly not a genocide, but a continued call for genocide from the Palestinian people against the Jewish people.
And one of the biggest reasons the mainstream media won’t show you this? Because it doesn’t fit their narrative — the lie that Palestinians are simply innocent bystanders to Hamas’s crimes. In reality, after years of indoctrination, much of Palestinian society has become Hamas itself. This is not just a war against a terror group but against an ideology that has consumed an entire generation.
Arafat Mudar Mohamed said it himself in our interview: &#8220;The Palestinian people like Hamas.&#8221;
This is what the media refuses to acknowledge. Since they won’t show you this Nazi-level brainwashing, I will. My interview with this freed Palestinian terrorist offers a chilling look inside the mind of a man who fits the pattern we’ve seen time and time again: every time he was released, he went back to terrorism. And with thousands more just like him now walking free, we can be certain — this cycle of terror is far from over.

I Went Undercover In The West Bank To Interview A Freed Palestinian Terrorist

interview

October 7

Social Media

On Wednesday night, a Palestinian terrorist opened fire on an Israeli bus, killing a young Israeli boy returning from a family celebration.
The terrorist, identified in news reports as Izz al-Din Maluh, reportedly turned himself in at a Palestinian Authority police station after a manhunt by Israeli forces. But the Palestinian police allegedly only <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/400628" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confiscated his weapon</a> and <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-december-12-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">did not arrest him</a>.
The terrorist&#8217;s bullets hit the bus 22 times at the El-Khader Junction in Gush Etzion on Route 60. Ten-year-old Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simha from Beitar Illit was shot in the upper body and later evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital near Jerusalem, where he was pronounced dead after a few hours. Three other bus passengers were injured in the attack.

At Nigri’s funeral, her brother <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/you-were-all-light-funeral-held-for-israeli-woman-killed-in-hebron-terror-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “You were also amazing to the children in all the kindergartens where you worked — hundreds of children learned what Judaism is from you. I refuse to accept what the mind already knows. To me you were always the eldest sister, I chose you to be my sister every day.”

Last Saturday, Pope Francis attended a nativity exhibit in the Vatican that depicted the baby Jesus as a Palestinian.

Francis has expressed anti-Israel beliefs before, apparently labeling Israel’s response to the October 7 Hamas massacre of more than 1200 people in Israel as immoral, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/pope-israel-lebanon-hezbollah-72b592696627d1a671e7419e98e354b6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, “A country that does these things — and I’m talking about any country — in a superlative way, these are immoral actions.”
Francis has <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/pope-francis-calls-for-probe-to-determine-if-israels-actions-in-gaza-constitute-genocide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for an investigation into Israel’s actions in Gaza to see if they should be labeled “genocide.” On the first anniversary of the October 7 massacre, Francis issued a Letter to Catholics of the Middle East. In the letter, he cited John 8:44. “The verse chosen by the pontiff, a vitriolic accusation that the Jews ‘are from [their] father, the devil,’ has for centuries provoked and been used to justify Church hostility to Jews,” Tablet Magazine <a href="https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/unfulfilled-promise-pope-francis-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted.</a>
The consistent attempts by Palestinians and their supporters to rewrite the history of the land of Israel have included trying to claim Jesus was a Palestinian, a claim easily refuted since there was never a state of Palestine. Yet in 2013, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/2013-12-23/ty-article/abbas-jesus-was-palestinian/0000017f-e55e-d9aa-afff-fd5e01410000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> Jesus “a Palestinian messenger,” and in 2019, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) shared a tweet that stated, “I was once asked by a relative who is a Palestinian Christian why the Christian right in America largely supports their oppression. ‘Don’t they know we’re Christian too? Do they even consider us human? Don’t they know Jesus was a Palestinian?’”
As Peter Wehner has <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/01/jewish-history-jesus-settler-colonialism-claims/677149/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">written</a>, “In fact, although many Palestinians today are Christians, Jesus himself was not one. He was born to Jewish parents in Judea, he lived as a Jew, and he died as a Jew. In the time of Jesus, Palestine didn’t exist—as a place, an entity, a word, or a concept. In the second century, Judea, which was the epicenter of large-scale Jewish rebellions against Roman rule, was renamed Syria Palaestina—later simply Palaestina—by the Romans.”

A prominent group promoting freedom of the press lamented the Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli attacks, but it did not show that same passion for Israeli journalists killed by Hamas last year.
The Committee to Protect Journalists is an American nonprofit whose data on journalists killed or imprisoned is frequently <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-newss-trey-yingst-condemns-israels-unacceptable-killing-of-more-than-100-palestinian-journalists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cited</a> by the media.
The group lists journalists who have been killed in three categories — “murdered,” killed in “crossfire,” or killed on a “dangerous assignment.”
Many Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli strikes are listed as &#8220;murdered.&#8221; For example, Al Jazeera reporter Ismail Al Ghoul, whom the IDF <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-releases-file-seized-in-gaza-to-show-al-jazeera-reporter-was-hamas-member/">stated</a> worked for Hamas, and his cameraman Rami Al Refee, who were killed in July by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, are both <a href="https://cpj.org/data/killed/2023/?status=Killed&amp;typeOfDeath%5B%5D=Murder&amp;cc_fips%5B%5D=IS&amp;start_year=2023&amp;end_year=2024&amp;group_by=location" target="_blank" rel="noopener">listed</a> as murdered. So is another Al Jazeera journalist, Hamza Al Dahdouh, and freelance video journalist Mustafa Thuraya, whom the IDF <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/journalism-groups-family-reject-israeli-accusation-gazan-reporters-kil-rcna133666">stated</a> was a Hamas commander. The IDF&#8217;s assertions were <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/journalism-groups-family-reject-israeli-accusation-gazan-reporters-kil-rcna133666">disputed</a> by Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/committee-to-protect-murderers-of-journalists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">none</a> of the Israeli journalists who were killed during Hamas&#8217; brutal attacks on October 7 last year are listed as being &#8220;murdered&#8221; but rather as being killed by a “political group” while on a “dangerous assignment.”
Several Israeli journalists who were killed by Hamas in their homes along with their families are listed this way, and so are several who were killed by Hamas while dancing at the Supernova rave party near Reim.
Yaniv Zohar, an Israeli photographer for Israel Hayom, was murdered by Hamas in his home on October 7, along with his wife and two daughters. The Committee said the outlet&#8217;s editor-in-chief told them Zohar was &#8220;about to leave his home to cover the assault but was unable to do so.&#8221; Nevertheless, the Committee <a href="https://cpj.org/data/people/yaniv-zohar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lists</a> him as killed by a “political group” while on a “dangerous assignment.”
Likewise, Roee Idan, an Israeli photographer for Ynet, was murdered by Hamas while holding his three-year-old daughter in his own yard on October 7. His wife was murdered inside their home, and his two other children, ages six and nine, spent 14 hours in the safe room with their mother&#8217;s body. The Committee <a href="https://cpj.org/data/people/roee-idan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lists</a> him as killed by a “political group” while on a “dangerous assignment,” noting that he had taken pictures and video of Hamas paragliders and Gaza rockets before he was killed.
Since Hamas&#8217; attacks on October 7, the war has taken an &#8220;unprecedented toll on Gazan journalists,&#8221; the Committee <a href="https://cpj.org/2024/10/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in its latest report.
&#8220;Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict, including devastating Israeli airstrikes, famine, the displacement of 90% of Gaza’s population, and the destruction of 80% of its buildings,&#8221; the group said.
The group accused Israeli forces of directly targeting and killing at least five journalists and called for &#8220;an end to the longstanding pattern of impunity in cases of journalists killed by&#8221; the Israel Defense Forces.
Israel Defense Forces officials have <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/20/media/israel-journalists-killed-questions/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they do not intentionally target journalists but have warned they cannot guarantee journalists&#8217; safety during the war.

As we approach 365 days since the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023, it’s abundantly clear that America has an anti-Israel extremism problem. Points of evidence range from the comparatively mundane, such as Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s chief of staff breaking longstanding protocol to criticize her boss’ pro-Israel stance on record to reporters at the Free Press, to the unquestionably extreme, such as the <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/suspect-accused-stabbing-jewish-man-brooklyn-charged-hate-crimes-rcna166305" target="_blank" rel="noopener">case</a> of a Jewish man violently assaulted outside a New York synagogue in August, whose attacker yelled “Free Palestine” before asking the victim if he wanted to die and stabbing him in the torso. The August stabbing was yet another incident in the <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/driver-allegedly-jumps-curb-targets-people-new-york-city-jewish-school-rcna154647" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spike</a> of antisemitic violence we’ve seen in the wake of the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Outside of the rise in physical violence, anti-Israel sentiment has propped up in a multitude of other places, from the mouths of student protests at universities like Columbia and Yale to the mouths of American lawmakers like Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Yet, outside the academic and political realms, the push to attack Israel has also made its way into an area that’s increasingly become a focus for political activists: the boardrooms of America’s biggest companies.
Every year, thousands of publicly-traded companies hold their annual meetings, where shareholders vote their corporate shares on issues pertaining to the company’s governance and operations, often presented via proposals from shareholder groups themselves. For many years, these shareholder proposals have focused on social issues, in an arena more or less completely dominated by the progressive Left and its obsession with prioritizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues that place partisan politics over good governance and fiduciary duty. As an analyst at America’s largest pro-shareholder proxy advisory firm, I’ve read thousands of shareholder proposals — from activists calling Starbucks racist for upcharging for oat milk (yes, you read that correctly) to others urging Walmart to confront its systemic racism problem (it’s so apparent that you can’t see it at all).
But those are comparatively small issues — shareholders wanting to waste Walmart’s money on their pet causes is one thing. The tone changes, however, when it’s shareholders lobbying weapons companies to disarm the state of Israel. And, this shareholder season, that’s <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/06/21/inside-bds-lefts-sneaky-targeting-israel-via-corporate-boardrooms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exactly what happened</a>. Activists went to brands like Lockheed Martin and <a href="https://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/eo/documents/annual-reports/2024-proxy-statement.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> them of playing a role in &#8216;war crimes&#8217; for selling aircraft and weapons to the Israeli government — a partnership that’s existed for <a href="https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-il/who-we-are.html#:~:text=Notably%2C%20Lockheed%20Martin%20has%20also,F%2D35%20Lightning%20II%20fighter." target="_blank" rel="noopener">decades</a>. They took similar sentiments to <a href="https://investors.rtx.com/static-files/f5957454-3174-4285-bf5f-06462044467d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raytheon</a> and <a href="https://s2.q4cdn.com/299287126/files/doc_financials/2024/ar/Amazon-com-Inc-2024-Proxy-Statement.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amazon</a>, claiming that the company propped up “apartheid” by doing business with the Jewish state.
It’s worth noting that, while some proposals were filed before the events of October 7, many, including the call for Amazon Web Services to divest from Israel, were filed after, and expressly used the events of and response to October 7 to bolster their case for disarmament. These activist shareholders took their linguistic and rhetorical cues straight from the anti-Israel propaganda playbook, using the lofty language of universal commitment to human rights as they called for the largest companies in the world to not only leave innocent Israeli citizens defenseless against their enemies, but ditch Israeli vendors for the crime of being vendors in Israel.

If you or anyone you know is a member of the Episcopal Church, you should know that the Church sponsored such a <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1526520/000119312524129373/d725214dars.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposal</a> on TripAdvisor’s corporate ballot, urging the company to stop doing business with Israeli tourism vendors to avoid complicity in “human rights harms.” Such corporate activism is a picture-perfect example not only of how bought-in ESG activists are to progressive ideology, but how many mainstream American institutions have come along for the ride. Where’s the good news?
Whether the violence of October 7 exposed the inhumane calculus of one-sided corporate divestment for what it is, or whether shareholders simply weren’t willing to meekly comply with activist demands of &#8220;drop Israeli clients and lose out on financial returns because we say so,&#8221; the anti-Israel movement lost big at the boardroom. At Amazon, anti-Israel proposals last year pulled more than 33% of shareholder support. This year, thanks in part to conservative <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/16/business/radical-lefty-elites-in-corporate-america-love-hating-on-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">journalists</a> and <a href="https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2024/04/29/the_esg_anti-israel_push_isnt_taking_sides_its_choosing_lives_1027963.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shareholder advocates</a> in this space exposing the activist rot, such proposals pulled less than 20%.
As skepticism of ESG grows, its association with radical ideologues like the ones seeking to disarm the Jewish state has only hurt it in the eyes of ordinary American shareholders who invest in companies for financial return, not to play politics. For the anti-Israel activists who see ESG as a way to channel their destructive corporate philosophy into geopolitical difference-making, it’s back to the drawing board. Let’s hope they stay there for a very, very long time.

Former Republican presidential contender <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vivek-ramaswamy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vivek Ramaswamy</a> was chased out of an anti-Israel protest a few blocks away from the DNC after making a surprise appearance.
Ramaswamy was noticed by the crowd of radical activists as soon as he left his car, and was swarmed by protesters and journalists at Union Park where the protests have been organizing all week.
“You should take off. We don’t want you here,” Hatem Abudayyeh, who <a href="https://canarymission.org/individual/Hatem_Abudayyeh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">openly supports</a> Hamas, told Ramaswamy. The Arab activist, who had his home raided by the FBI in 2010 for “material support of terrorism,” told Ramaswamy to leave after telling him he doesn’t have a right to be present if he does not “support the Palestinian people.”
“The good news is we are in America and so we all actually get to express ourselves,” Ramaswamy quipped back.

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Abudayyeh called Ramaswamy a “racist Zionist pig,” setting off chants of, “Racist go home.” Ramaswamy was then mobbed and escorted out of the park by his security team, setting off a frenzy among local police trying to contain the crowd to the park.
Immediately after the altercation, Ramaswamy told The Daily Wire that the protesters, if they really want an end to wars, should actually support former President Donald Trump.
“The irony is that if a lot of these people, if they want to stay out of war, there is a president who kept us out of war for four years,” Ramaswamy said as he was being escorted away from the scene. “There wasn’t war in the Middle East. There wasn’t war in Russia and Ukraine.”

Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
Before the conflict started, Ramaswamy said he enjoyed his exchange with a communist who sold him a newspaper on communism for five dollars.
“I think there are a lot of people who may want to engage in thoughtful dissent, but the majority of what it has become ends up devolving into a thoughtless and quasi-physical exercise,&#8221; he said. “You got a lot of people that are rightly pissed off about the direction of the Democratic Party.”

Ramaswamy said he “wanted to come see” the protest for himself because he “didn’t trust” the media’s representation of it.
At the park, protesters were carrying a mix of Palestinian flags, Black Liberation flags, Communists flags, and a Hezbollah flag.
The protesters are expected to march outside the DNC Thursday night, the last night of the convention, which will feature Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris as the headliner.
