Middlebury Students Tried To Host a Vigil for Victims of Oct. 7 Attack. Administrators Told Them To Remove the Word ‘Jewish.’ - "It was October 10, three days after Hamas had murdered 1,200 Israelis and abducted hundreds more, and Jewish students at Middlebury College were trying to organize a vigil for the victims. They reached out to Middlebury’s dean of students, Derek Doucet, with a draft poster promoting the event, which they invited administrators at the elite liberal arts school to attend. "Stand in Solidarity With the Jewish People," the poster read. "This will be an opportunity to honor the innocent lives lost in the tragic events that have struck Israel in the past days." It didn’t go over well. In an email to students reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, Doucet, who has oversight of student activities, pushed to rename the vigil and strip it of references to Judaism so as to make it "as inclusive as possible." "Some suggestions that might help are stating that this gathering is to honor ‘all the innocent lives lost,’" Doucet wrote, and including a reference to the "tragedies that have struck Israel and Gaza." He added that calls for solidarity with Jews could trigger "unhelpful reactions." "I recognize and deeply respect that there has to be a place for purely Jewish grief and sorrow," Doucet said, "and yet I wonder if … such a public gathering in such a charged moment might be more inclusive with edits such as these." The need to include all groups—in a vigil mourning the losses of one—was selective and short-lived. Less than a month later, Doucet’s office approved a "Vigil for Palestine," hosted by the Muslim Students Association, that began with an Islamic prayer and featured remarks from the school’s vice president of equity and inclusion, Khuram Hussain, who did not attend the Jewish vigil. "Standing in solidarity," the Muslim student group wrote in an Instagram post promoting the event. "Together, we honor Palestine." The divergent reaction to the two events is one of the most shocking examples of discrimination outlined in a federal civil rights complaint against Middlebury, one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. Filed last month by the StandWithUs Center for Legal Justice, a pro-Israel nonprofit that has sued other elite schools over anti-Semitism, the complaint alleges that Middlebury created a hostile environment for its Jewish students by ignoring and at times impeding their efforts to combat campus anti-Semitism... Colleges across the country have been accused of violating Title VI, the civil rights law governing recipients of federal funds, by turning a blind eye to the harassment of Jews on campus in the wake of Oct. 7. The Middlebury complaint goes further, arguing that the school has not only tolerated anti-Semitism but actively discriminated against its Jewish students, in part by denying them the same accommodations as their Muslim and Christian peers. Middlebury funds and recognizes six Christian clubs on campus, for example, along with both the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine. But it has refused to recognize Chabad, an orthodox campus organization with chapters across the country, on the grounds that Jewish students already have access to Hillel, the only space at Middlebury with a Kosher kitchen... The school also resisted calls for a police presence at the Jewish vigil in October, citing concerns that the officers could upset students, and asked the organizers of the event not to display Israeli flags, according to meetings described in the complaint. The Palestinian vigil appears to have faced fewer hurdles. Not only did Middlebury station a police car outside the event, according to a report in the school’s student newspaper, it offered up Middlebury Chapel, one of the largest event spaces on campus, to the Muslim group after interest in the vigil surged. The chapel was not made available for the Jewish vigil, which was held outside, even though it drew a larger crowd than the pro-Palestinian event. "What makes Middlebury different from our other Title VI complaints is that there’s not just a hostile environment for Jewish students; the administration also seems to be directly complicit," Yael Lerman, the director of the StandWithUs Center for Legal Justice, told the Free Beacon. "The Middlebury administration seems to think they’re off the radar and can get away with disparate treatment of Jewish students because everyone is focused on Harvard, MIT, and Penn." That disparate treatment appears to reflect the ideological sympathies of at least some administrators. On Feb. 16, the same day StandWithUs’s complaint was filed, Middlebury released a statement, "How Middlebury is Handling the Tensions Surrounding the Israel/Gaza War," that appeared to endorse the Palestinian "struggle for liberation." "Student Affairs, Public Safety, and the Events offices supported a vigil honoring the Palestinian people and their struggle for liberation at Middlebury Chapel on November 9," the statement said. It also touted an "Anti-Oppression Reading Group Discussion of Islamophobia" with Renee Wells, Middlebury’s director of education for equity and inclusion, and a "teach-in" hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine, the group behind some of the most aggressive anti-Semitic protests nationally. Middlebury has since stealth-edited the statement to remove those references... The efforts to rewrite history extend to the college’s dealings with students, who have been discouraged from creating a record of their conversations with administrators. After a Jewish student met with Middlebury’s provost, Michelle McCauley, to discuss a slew of anti-Semitic Yik Yak posts, the student sent an email recapping the meeting. McCauley responded that the recap was "not as I understood the conversation" and, in a follow-up meeting, castigated the student for putting the discussion in writing... She then had Hussain, the diversity official who spoke at the Gaza vigil, produce his own recap of the meeting, which omitted key parts of the conversation and downplayed the student’s concerns, according to the complaint. "Rather than address its antisemitism problem, Middlebury’s administration has attempted to hide and deny its existence," the complaint reads. "Middlebury is a leading example of a campus where hostility towards Jews and Israelis thrives.""
You're not allowed to show solidarity for "privileged" groups, so you need to All Lives Matter them. But if you try to make support for an "oppressed" group more inclusive, you're a racist bigot
‘Deluded’ Hamas made a ‘catastrophic miscalculation’, say Palestinian analysts - "Palestinian analysts have said that Hamas “catastrophically miscalculated” the balance of the military power between themselves and the IDF and, although the terror group will be hard to destroy, it is a shattered organisation with the hostages their only remaining leverage. Israeli intelligence estimates that more than 18 of Hamas’s 24 battalions have been dismantled as organised forces and have become smaller guerrilla cells. Approximately half of the group’s 40,000 fighters are thought to have been either killed or wounded. Yezid Sayigh, a Palestinian analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told the FT that Hamas had harboured the “delusion” that Israel’s response to Ocotber 7 would cause mass uprisings against the Jewish state across the Middle East... Ibrahim Dalalsha, head of Horizon Centre, a Ramallah-based think-tank, said Hamas wanting a permanent ceasefire is not “about helping civilians in Gaza but about making the resumption of the war [by Israel] more difficult." According to Dalalsha, Hamas leaders know that hostages are their “insurance policy” and only means of leverage, which explains why they have become “almost suicidal vis-à-vis the negotiations, with this maximalist position. “They know that if the war resumes and they’ve released the hostages they’ll be finished.” The bulk of Hamas’s remaining battalions have retreated to the southern city of Rafah and the refugee camps Nusseirat and Deir al Balah in central Gaza, according to Israeli military officials... The Islamist militant group, founded to destroy the Jewish state, is now primarily concerned with survival. Some analysts conclude that Hamas’s desire to sue for a permanent ceasefire as part of a hostage deals is a sign of its desperation. Regional diplomats and intelligence analysts say Hamas may be realising that its rule over Gaza may be coming to an end and it may be forced to revert to its early roots: a resistance movement providing religious social services with an underground military wing. Dalalsha added: “Hamas has lost governance in Gaza but they’re still looking for political survival as an organisation. They’re not idiots. They see the needs of Gaza and realise the public and international community won’t accept them again.” According to the FT, Hamas officials have engaged in talks to allow the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority to reassert control over Gaza through an “ad hoc leadership committee” or newly formed technocratic government... Hamas itself claims that only 6,000 of its fighters have been killed and maintain that it is doing well militarily against the far superior Israeli military."
Terror suspects arrested in Europe had images of Jewish, Israeli targets -- report - "A number of terror suspects arrested in December in Bosnia and Austria had images of Jewish and Israeli targets on their cellphones, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing investigators who said the photos “suggested they were motivated by Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.” According to the report, the suspects were among individuals in two separate groups of refugees from Afghanistan and Syria who were detained on suspicion of terror activities. The suspects were in possession of arms and ammunition including Kalashnikovs and pistols... these separate incidents suggest that the terror threat in Europe is “not only growing but also coming from new sources,” specifically pointing to “Iran and its proxies in the Middle East, including Hezbollah and Hamas.” In January, Israeli intelligence agencies released details on a network of Hamas operatives in Europe commanded by terror leaders in Lebanon, with the aim of attacking Israeli and Jewish targets in Europe, Africa and the Middle East."

Saul Sadka on X - "Consider carefully the words of the not-at-all antisemitic Charlotte Church:
"There is something about the Palestinian cause right now which means 'The freedom and betterment of society and civilization for all of us'."
Seems like a strange equation. Is that the freedom to hold 130 hostages in tunnels? To head out on medieval tribal raids to murder rape and pillage? This better society is the one where children are raised from the cradle to fantasize about killing? Would our civilization really be bettered if it were more like Gaza? With women subjugated, gays executed, mob rule, and genocidal theocrats in power with no elections? Something here doesn't add up. None of this would make society better at all. Maybe she will elaborate...
"If we want to have a different future which isn't completely reliant upon, or completely in submission to, capitalist interests..."
Ah, now we seem to be getting to the point. Why does this war, with minimal impact on financial markets, (what with Israel being 0.6%, and Gaza being 0.005% of global GDP), have to do with "submission to capitalist interests"? Does anyone bring up nefarious controlling capitalists as an issue when talking about Ukraine-Russia? Or any other war... that doesn't involve Jews... hmm...
"If we want to have a society that is built on community and compassion and love, that centers life... that centers children... that centers women and mothers... "
Yes, wow, really Gaza under Hamas is a paradise for children and women, and is a well known hub of compassion and love for all. They particularly love dead raped Israeli girls being paraded like trophies through the market. We wonder: How can anyone look at the evil that Hamas did and see them as the solution to humanity's ills? It seems totally deranged. To understand the mindset you need to steep yourself in the cesspit of the Marxist left, where the Jews ("the 0.2%") sit atop the capitalist heap, oppressing the world, crushing everyone else. For some this is conscious, for others its subconscious. So for these sheep, anything that stands against Jews, however medieval and rapey, has the power to rebuild the world anew, free it from the capitalist shackles, and put humans back at the center, instead of the inhuman You-know-whos. This is why leftists march arm in arm with Hamas."
Saul Sadka on X - "Some rapscallion has managed to get "Charlotte Mosque" trending, which is unfair, really she is Charlotte Marx."
Dutch King defies mosques to attend opening of new Holocaust museum alongside Israel’s president - "The Dutch King has defied protests from mosques in the country to attend the opening of a new Holocaust museum in Amsterdam alongside Israel’s president. The K7 alliance of over 200 Dutch mosques called for King Willem-Alexander not to participate in the reception given to Israel’s President Isaac Herzog on Sunday. The organisation said Herzog’s presence at the opening was a “huge blow to anyone who cares about the fate of Palestinian people”"
Good luck if you protest a mosque who hosts an extremist preacher
Al-Jazeera Airs Video Criticizing American Aid to Gaza - "Al-Jazeera Network [Qatar] aired a video by Gaza influencer "Abod," on March 7, 2024 that criticized American humanitarian aid to Gaza. He said that America was the "Great Satan" and the number-one enemy of the Palestinian cause. Abod said that the aid was "paltry" and "humiliating." He added that even Satan would be shocked by the small quantities of aid. Al-Jazeera regularly airs posts by "Abod.""

‘Death to the Jews:’ Protester gives Nazi salute at Montreal ex-IDF talk - "protesters can be heard castigating attendees for chanting, "There is only one solution, Intifada revolution." "Resistance is justified when people are occupied," protesters said in a video posted on Palestinian Youth Movement Montreal's Instagram account. CIJA and Federation Combined Jewish Appeal said in a joint statement on Tuesday that the Montreal Police failed to maintain a buffer zone around the area, despite being warned about event logistics and possible extremity of the protest. As a result, the Jewish groups said that some community members could not leave the building for hours, and others were prevented from attending."
Pro-Palestinian speech cannot be censored, and criticising Israel isn't anti-Semitic!
When the left approves of your protest, Nazism is good
Canadian politicians have suddenly forgotten how to denounce protestors - "This past weekend, downtown Ottawa was occupied by a huge crowd of protestors. They danced, shouted angry slogans, banged on drums and created a noisy, inconvenient disruption for local residents and businesses. They even set off smoke bombs, creating hazardous air quality for bystanders and law enforcement. Sound a bit familiar? Yes, there were some obvious parallels with the Freedom Convoy. But there were also a couple of very big differences. There were many more frightening messages directed at fellow Canadians this time, including “All Zionists are racists” and “All Zionists are degenerates.” Another big difference? Near total silence this time from the politicians. Virtually from the outset of the Freedom Convoy’s rumblings, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave public appearances to loudly denounce their messages and tactics, decrying them, notoriously, as a “small fringe minority with unacceptable views.” It wasn’t just Trudeau who loudly expounded on the limits of acceptable opinions during the pandemic. Progressive Conservative Ontario Premier Doug Ford famously called those protesting against lockdowns outside Queen’s Park “selfish” and a “bunch of yahoos.” So where, then, are Trudeau and other politicians including Doug Ford, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, or Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe now that the protesters are behaving far worse? I’m not talking about those engaging in peaceful protests... vandalizing Jewish-owned businesses, targeting Jewish hospitals, intimidating Jewish people taking their kids to daycare, blockading overpasses in Jewish neighbourhoods, firebombing Jewish community centres, calling for violence in front of synagogues and protesting in front of the Holocaust Memorial Centre—all of which we have seen continuously since October 7th—must be denounced, publicly, in the strongest terms. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators can no longer plausibly deny that their movement is thoroughly contaminated with hateful antisemitism. Those who naively argue this type of behaviour is benign should read up on some of the events in Germany in 1938. Most troubling is the complete lack of serious engagement with this obvious growing extremism by many of our supposed leaders, and their refusal to delineate bright lines between acceptable protest and direct incitements to violence. There hasn’t been a trace of moral clarity from the federal government. Instead, we get statements that seem to have been spat out by a bot programmed with the Liberals’ increasingly dismal electoral math and concern about losing votes from those who despise Israel. It is entirely spineless to mention Islamophobia any time antisemitism is uttered considering that it is only synagogues and Jewish businesses that have been regularly targeted with harassing protests and attacks since October 7th. Trudeau’s favourite platitude that “this is not what we do here in Canada” rings hollow in the face of consistent and overwhelming evidence that for some Canadians, like it or not, it is. In some instances, the hate has been obviously inspired by Jihadism. Last week, protestors at a Montreal synagogue jeered at pro-Israel counter-protestors declaring that “every single tree and rock that you guys are going to touch will surely be free.” This was a coded call for violence and a reference to a long-standing antisemitic Hadith that is repeated in Article 7 of Hamas’ charter: “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.” If Trudeau wants to push back against this hatred and intimidation, he might look across the pond to U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for an example of what a modicum of moral clarity might look like. It took five months of central London being overrun every weekend with protestors calling for “intifada” (violent uprising) and the election of the odious anti-Semite George Galloway as MP in Rochdale for Sunak earlier this month to finally grow enough of a backbone to explain to the public that there are limits to even the most expansive version of free speech.
Jihadist slogans are not even dog whistles, because the left approve of them
dahlia kurtz ✡︎ דליה קורץ on X - "Holocaust. They are calling for another Holocaust. Hey Canada, at what point is enough enough?"
Peter Nelson on X - "Essentially #Ottawa is telling those of us in the Canadian Jewish diaspora that " the convoy was bad but calling for the death of Jews is OK ". That's, you know, in case you were wondering about the depths of depraved #Antisemitism in the nation's seat of govt."
Lisa MacLeod on X - "As an Ottawa resident I am disturbed and horrified of the hypocrisy between the convoy clampdown compared to the tolerated hate speech at the antisemitic demonstrations. As an area politician (one of the longest serving in the capital) the double standard is dangerous, irresponsible & wrong. Someone is going to get killed and the passivity will be noticed in plain sight. And it won’t be forgiven."
'Acknowledging Jewish victims will cost him': Jewish creators comment on Jonathan Glazer's speech - "At the 96th Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night, British-Jewish director Jonathan Glazer, whose film, The Zone of Interest, had just won the Oscar for Best International Feature, made a somewhat garbled statement critical of the Israeli government’s policy, conflating “the Occupation” with “the Holocaust.” Many Israeli officials and Jewish leaders criticized the statement, but some Jews in Hollywood actually cheered it... He mentioned “the victims of October 7 in Israel.”... Simply acknowledging that there were victims in Israel is light years ahead of the prevailing political winds in Hollywood these days, people told me.Typical politically engaged celebrities in Hollywood simply ask for a “ceasefire now,” with no hint of the fact that there are still 134 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza – a number of whom are American citizens, which is rarely mentioned – or that Hamas has publicly stated, on multiple occasions, that it will commit more, and even bigger, massacres in Israel as soon as it can, and that Israel has an obligation to defend its citizens... Commenting on the confusing phraseology, one insider said, “That was quite a word salad. I’ve met him and he’s usually very clear, very focused on what he’s trying to get across. Writer/directors are generally the most charming, most articulate people in the world because they’re always trying to get people to give them money to make a movie; they’re always pitching. “I think he was tying himself in knots, trying to find a way to acknowledge that there was a massacre, that there were Jewish victims. He wanted to say it without saying it... I think that’s because he did this Auschwitz film, and he’s a British Jew. He knows that the Nazis would have killed him and Hamas would have killed him. For him to say, to acknowledge that there were any Jewish victims at all will probably cost him some dinner-party invitations, probably from intellectuals he respects. That’s the reality.” Would it have been so hard for him to say the word “Hamas”? I asked. “Yeah, it would have,” was the answer I got. “There can be Jewish victims as long as the worst villain, the only real villain, is Israel, the occupier.” INSIDE THE AUDITORIUM, there were almost no yellow ribbons denoting support for the hostages held by Hamas, save for Avi Arad, the Israeli-American producer of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which was nominated for Best Animated Feature. Other attendees said they would have worn yellow ribbons but their cars were closely eyeballed by protesters who tried to block invited guests from attending the awards ceremony. But there were many celebrities wearing red pins and calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war... Spielberg, seen as the most respected Jewish elder statesman in Hollywood – and one with something to say about Jewish suffering, as he directed Schindler’s List and created the USC Shoah Foundation, which collects testimony from Holocaust survivors – remained silent about the October 7 atrocities for months, ignoring direct requests from Holocaust survivors to comment... Non-Jewish Hollywood A-listers who often speak out on causes and have visited Israel in the past, such as Paul McCartney, continue to be silent on this conflict. "
This won't stop the right wing anti-Semites claiming all Jews support Israel unconditionally
He wrote his Liberal MP about synagogue vandalism. She responded lamenting 'atrocities' in Gaza - "When a member of a Fredericton synagogue that had been vandalized wrote to local Liberal MP Jenica Atwin to admonish her for not speaking out about it, she responded weeks later with a long letter about “the atrocities in Palestine” and how dedicated she was to helping Gaza. “Fredericton’s synagogue was vandalized today.. on holocaust remembrance day!! And you couldn’t be bothered to make a statement. Shame on you,” wrote the constituent on January 27th, the day the Sgoolai Israel Synagogue in Fredericton had been vandalized . In the subject line of the email, the constituent wrote . “ I guess you and Justin only represent certain Canadians.”... Atwin is known for taking positions considered to be hostile to Israel. Shortly before crossing the floor from the Green Party to the Liberals in 2021, Atwin challenged then Green Party leader Annamie Paul’s calls for de-escalation in the Middle East, insisting there was no “two sides” in the conflict but “only human right abuses” by Israel, and referred to Israel as an apartheid state. Atwin’s arrival in the Liberal caucus sparked so much concern amongst both current and former party MPs that the Liberals convened an emergency antisemitism summit to address the matter... Deputy Conservative leader Melissa Lantsman told the National Post that the emailed letter doesn’t surprise her, considering Atwin’s past comments on Israel. “What was surprising is that Justin Trudeau actively recruited her to cross the floor to his party,” she said. “Trudeau’s … blatant refusal to acknowledge the very real concerns of Jewish Canadians is a pattern that we are seeing more and more of from him and the Liberals.”"
Weird. Left wingers keep telling us that criticising Israel isn't anti-Semitic. But if anti-Semitism is just criticising Israel, that suggests that the two are the same thing.
Lior Haiat 🇮🇱🎗️ on X - "The decisions by Canada and Sweden to restore funding to UNRWA - after having received the intelligence-based information about the organization's employees who participated in the 7 October massacre and prior to the completion of the work of the investigative bodies and the publication of their findings - is a serious mistake that constitutes tacit agreement and support by the governments of Canada and Sweden to continuing to ignore the involvement of UNRWA employees in terrorist activity. The return to funding UNRWA will not change the fact that the organization is part of the problem and will not be part of the solution in the Gaza Strip. Israel calls on the governments of Canada and Sweden to stop the funding and not to support an organization whose ranks include hundreds of members of the Hamas terrorist organization."
IDF releases recordings of UNRWA teachers taking part in Oct. 7 massacres - "The first call recording is of a Hamas terrorist working as an Arabic teacher at an UNRWA school in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, describing how he broke into Israeli territory and stating that he is holding female Israeli hostages. The teacher was named as Yusef Al Hawajara and is heard stating on a call, “We have female hostages, I captured one.” During the call, Al Hawajara went on to say, “We will enter Al-Aqsa Mosque.” He described the massacre of Israelis to his friend, saying, “They shot them in the eyes.” The second recording features an additional terrorist, described by the Israel Defense Forces as Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist Mamduh Ahmed Alkali, an elementary-school teacher at an UNRWA school in Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza, the IDF said. The teacher is heard telling his family that he is inside Israeli territory. “I’m inside, I’m inside with the Jews,” stated the voice of the UNRWA teacher in response to a man asking him on the phone where he was... Hawajara was heard bragging about seizing an Israeli female hostage. “Sabayya means female captive, a ‘possession.’ Sabayya is exactly the same word used by ISIS to describe Yazidi women they captured and did horrific things to. I want you to hear the tone, how they brag, how they laugh. How they talk about women. How they call her a ‘noble horse.’” The other speaker in the call boasted of capturing a “noble horse” during the conversation... On Sunday, the number of aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip from Israel was the highest since the start of the war, Hagari said. Israel puts no limits on the amount of humanitarian aid that can enter Gaza... an anti-tank missile launched from Lebanon struck a plantation in Margaliot, a moshav in the Galilee panhandle, at around 11 a.m., killing a Thai worker and injuring nine other people, two of them seriously."
I still see terrorism supporters claiming the IDF was responsible for Oct 7th
'I captured one!' -- IDF recordings show more UNRWA staffers bragging of Oct. 7 crimes - " “I’m inside, I’m inside with the Jews,” Mamdouh al-Qali, an Islamic Jihad terrorist whom the IDF says was employed as a teacher in a UNRWA school, is heard saying in one recording. “How will you get home?” he is asked in the phone call, and he replies with a laugh: “When I die.” In another recording, an UNRWA teacher can purportedly be heard bragging about kidnapping Israeli hostages. “We have female hostages, I captured one!” says Yousef al-Hawajara, a Hamas terrorist who worked as a teacher at a UNRWA school in Deir al-Balah, according to the IDF. “Everything’s fine I hope,” he later says in the recording. “We will enter Al-Aqsa Mosque.”... a Hamas terrorist, who worked as a teacher at a UNRWA school in Deir al-Balah, tells his friend that he captured a “sabaya,” a term used by Islamic State jihadists which means sex slave. “The most difficult use of ‘sabaya’ was by ISIS terrorists, who called the captured Yazidi women [in Iraq and Syria] this,” Hagari added... The head of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, warned on Monday in a letter to the General Assembly’s president that his agency is at a “breaking point,” as donors freeze funding, Israel exerts pressure to dismantle the agency, and humanitarian needs soar. UNRWA’s ability to carry out its mandate is “seriously threatened,” Lazzarini said, urging member states to “provide the political support necessary to sustain” the agency. Lazzarini has said that Israel has provided no evidence against his former employees. Last month, Israel revealed the identities of 12 UNRWA staffers who it said “actively participated” in the massacre."
