On the third night of the Democratic National Convention, Muslim Women for Harris announced its disbandment in response to the Harris-Walz campaign’s decision not to include a “Palestinian” speaker on the main stage.

The announcement coincided with a sit-in organized by the Uncommitted National Movement, which secured 30 delegates for the convention. The demonstration, which saw participation from Ilhan Omar and a FaceTime call from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was sparked by the campaign’s refusal to allow a Palestinian speaker—despite earlier uncertainty about the possibility of such a speech.

In their statement, Muslim Women for Harris expressed their discontent, saying, “We cannot in good conscience continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris’ team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC.”

The Uncommitted movement had earlier supported the inclusion of the family of Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who spoke on Wednesday, while calling for a similar opportunity for a Palestinian speaker. “Uncommitted delegates urge the Democratic Party to reject a hierarchy of human value by ensuring Palestinian voices are heard on the main stage,” their statement said. “We strongly support the decision to have Israeli hostages’ families speak and hope that Palestinians, who have faced significant civilian casualties, will also be given a platform.”

During the convention, Goldberg-Polin’s father, Jon Polin, called for the return of hostages and an end to the suffering in Gaza. While speakers like Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders addressed the ongoing conflict, some critics felt the party’s response was insufficient.

Muslim Women for Harris criticized the Democratic Party, stating, “The family of the Israeli hostage that was on the stage tonight has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians than our candidate or the DNC has. This is a terrible message to send to Democrats. Palestinians have the right to speak about Palestine.”

Alana Zeitchik, who has family members among the hostages, also supported the call for a Palestinian American speaker. On X, she stated, “Rachel and Jon deserved every second on that stage. I also believe a Palestinian American voice deserves to be heard on that stage. I’d love to hear from @Ruwa4Georgia and I hope the DNC will give her the chance to be heard.”

Chicago, host city for this year’s convention, is home to one of the largest Palestinian communities in the U.S. Muslim Women for Harris has not yet responded to requests for further comment.

At New York University, a demonstration against Israel’s actions in Gaza escalated into a significant confrontation between protesters and police. On Monday evening, as tensions mounted, anti-Israel protesters formed a human chain, which led to the intervention of the NYPD. Officers warned the gathered crowd through a loudspeaker, as captured by Fox News Digital, stating, “You have been warned by New York University to leave the area.”

The university had previously set safety measures at Gould Plaza, declaring no additional protesters were allowed. However, these barriers were breached earlier in the day, prompting NYU’s Global Campus Safety to express concerns over the safety and security of the community. The university issued a statement, saying, “With the breach of the barricades early this afternoon, that requirement was violated, and we witnessed disorderly, disruptive, and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community.”

By the evening, the situation intensified, leading to mass arrests around 8:30 p.m. as the demonstration dwindled. The university underscored the gravity of the situation by offering an ultimatum: “We cannot tolerate people getting hurt. You will need to clear the plaza by 4:00 pm. If you leave now, no one will face any consequences for today’s actions—no discipline, no police.”

This incident at NYU is part of a broader wave of campus protests across the United States, with students voicing sharp criticisms of Israel’s military actions in Gaza and calling for academic institutions to divest from companies that supply weapons to Israel. The protests have heightened tensions among students, with pro-Palestinian groups demanding condemnation of Israel, while some Jewish students have reported feeling unsafe due to what they perceive as antisemitic undertones in the criticisms of Israel.

During the protest, chants like “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” were heard, a slogan that has been controversial and is viewed by many as a call for the elimination of Israel. This, along with actions like stepping on the Israeli flag, has intensified the debates around free speech and the spread of hate on college campuses.

During a recent segment on Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, expressed concerns about the rise of antisemitism and its normalization within certain segments of American politics. In his conversation with guest host Tom Basile, Greenblatt attributed this troubling trend to a broader acceptance of anti-Zionism and extremist behaviors within parts of the Democratic Party, suggesting a deeper ideological shift that challenges core American values.

Greenblatt emphasized the severity of the issue, stating, “If you harass and intimidate and terrorize people because of where they’re from or how they pray, you’re not an activist. You’re a bigot. You’re not some kind of advocate, right? You are an extremist.” He criticized the way certain ideologies have infiltrated political and educational systems, implying that these spaces have strayed from their foundational principles. “And for some reason, Tom, we’ve allowed this anti-Zionism, this kind of intolerance to seep into the system, the Democratic Party, and the left,” he noted, acknowledging his background as a former staffer for President Obama but asserting his commitment to identifying and condemning hate.

Basile added to the discussion by linking the rise in antisemitic sentiments to a prevalent Marxist influence within the Democratic Party, which he argued is fundamentally atheist and thus inherently anti-Jewish and anti-faith. “Yeah, and look, I happen to think that this is tied to a very strong Marxist strain that is running through the Democratic Party. And Marxism and socialism are atheist by nature, so it is anti-Jewish. It’s not just anti-Israel, and it’s also anti-faith, generally there,” Basile explained.

Greenblatt concurred, emphasizing the contradiction between these ideologies and American principles: “Absolutely, It’s anti-American, Tom.”

This dialogue highlights significant concerns about the intersection of political ideology and religious tolerance, pointing to a need for vigilance and dialogue to address and curb the spread of intolerance within influential sectors of society.

At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a student-led movement is underway to urge the university to rename a campus library currently named after Golda Meir, a former Prime Minister of Israel. This demand is part of a broader call by the students for the university to reassess its ties with Israel.

The campaign includes a petition initiated by campus protesters, which not only seeks the renaming of the Golda Meir Library but also calls for the university to cease all investments in Israel. The petition accuses Israel of committing serious human rights violations in Gaza. It states, “In the past few weeks, the settler colonial state of ‘Israel’ has waged a genocide against the people of Gaza by murdering over 20,000+ innocent civilians, displacing over 1,700,000 people, and destroying over 50,000 houses, 266 schools, 26 hospitals, and many more war crimes.”

This petition was formulated by groups including the Wisconsin Coalition for Justice in Palestine, UW Students for a Democratic Society, and the Muslim Students Association, as reported by College Fix.

The demands of the students extend beyond the library’s name change. They are advocating for the university to withdraw from any financial involvement with companies that allegedly support what they term as the ‘Palestinian genocide.’ Moreover, the students are pressing for an end to all study abroad programs and trips to Israel for students.

One of the central figures in this controversy is Golda Meir, an alumnus of the university who later became the Prime Minister of Israel. The petition criticizes Meir, saying, “The library is named after Golda Meir, who not only assisted in the founding of the settler colony, but was also responsible for the displacement, ethnic cleansing, and death of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.”

Golda Meir, who was Prime Minister from 1969 to 1974, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1917. The library, named in her honor, was established in 1967.

The student body has actively expressed its support for these demands through rallies and prayer vigils held in November and December to honor the “martyrs of Palestine,” as detailed in the College Fix report.

Harvard University President Claudine Gay announced her resignation on January 2, just six months into her historic presidency. The decision comes amid controversy over allegations of plagiarism and criticism of her response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Gay stated in her resignation letter, “It has become clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual.”

The controversy surrounding Gay included over two dozen allegations of plagiarism, with the latest claim suggesting she lifted material from a 1999 book for a 2001 article. Despite the accusations, Harvard Corporation confirmed her resignation, making her tenure the shortest in the university’s history.

Following the announcement, Harvard Provost and Chief Academic Officer Alan M. Garber will serve as interim president. The decision to step down comes after scrutiny over Gay’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict and her perceived slow response to condemn Hamas for its attacks on Israel.

House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik criticized Gay, calling her “Harvard’s antisemitic plagiarist president” and asserting that her answers during a Congressional appearance lacked moral leadership and academic integrity. The allegations of plagiarism have been a contentious issue, with some defending Gay against calls for resignation.

The controversy began when Harvard student groups blamed Israel for a terrorist attack by Hamas, leading to calls for Gay’s removal. Her subsequent appearance before Congress, where she responded to questions on antisemitism, further fueled demands for her resignation.

Despite Harvard losing significant donations, Gay initially remained in her position. The allegations of plagiarism in her doctoral thesis, along with threats and doxxing incidents, added to the tumultuous situation. The Harvard Crimson, the university’s student newspaper, supported Gay, acknowledging the plagiarism charges but arguing against her resignation.

The resignation underscores the challenges faced by Gay during her short-lived presidency and the broader issues of free speech, racism, and academic integrity within the university community. The aftermath of this controversy may have lasting implications for Harvard’s leadership and its commitment to upholding these values.

New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sparked controversy with her Christmas Eve Instagram story, drawing parallels between the plight of Palestinians and the Christmas story while also describing Israel as a “violent, right-wing occupying force.” In the post, AOC shared an image of a child amidst rubble in Gaza and expressed prayers for the peace and protection of the innocent in Gaza and the occupied territories.

“In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. She continued by likening the challenges faced by Mary and Joseph, who became refugees, to the struggles of today’s Palestinians. The congresswoman emphasized that the Christmas narrative revolves around standing with the poor, powerless, and marginalized.

“The entire story of Christmas and Christ himself is about standing with the poor and powerless, the marginalized and maligned, the refugees and immigrants, the outcast and misunderstood without exception,” she stated.

Critics swiftly responded to AOC’s post, accusing her of omitting mention of Hamas terrorism and the victims of attacks. Some noted the absence of references to Israelis held captive by Hamas in Gaza and criticized what they labeled as “Jew hate.”

One user asserted, “Jewish Palestinians are not a thing. They were Jews of Judea then. She’s spouting make believe.”

Pro-Israel activist Andrea Karshan expressed frustration, writing, “I wish people would just enjoy Christmas and stop getting so social justice political about it.”

The controversy comes amidst Pope Francis’s Christmas Day appeal for peace, where he criticized the “instruments of death” in the weapons industry and called for an end to conflicts, particularly highlighting the situation between Israel and the Palestinians.

In a recent development at Harvard University, President Claudine Gay has come under scrutiny for allegations of plagiarism in her academic work. The university, which initially conducted a high-level investigation into the matter, faced criticism for not promptly disclosing the investigation.

The controversy unfolded when a conservative activist raised questions on the citation practices in Gay’s 1997 Ph.D. dissertation. Harvard, however, only made the investigation public after the Harvard Corporation expressed unanimous support for Gay, despite the criticisms she faced during congressional testimony on the university’s response to antisemitism.

Harvard’s official statement acknowledged that an investigation into Gay’s academic writings commenced in late October, prompted by allegations related to three articles. While the university found no violation of its research misconduct standards, it revealed instances of inadequate citation. President Gay has proactively requested corrections in two publications involving the insertion of citations and quotation marks that were initially omitted.

The situation took a contentious turn when The Washington Post independently investigated the allegations, contacting Harvard on October 24 for comments on over two dozen instances where Gay’s words appeared similar to those of other academics. Harvard reportedly hired a high-powered law firm, Clare-Locke, to respond to The Post’s inquiry and defend Gay against the allegations.

Despite the university’s acknowledgment of the investigation and subsequent clearance of Gay, questions remain regarding the specific works being corrected and whether her dissertation will undergo corrections. The controversy has brought to light 27 instances of potential plagiarism in two peer-reviewed journals between 2011 and 2017, as well as an article in 1993.

In response to the allegations, President Gay defended her academic integrity, stating, “I stand by the integrity of my scholarship. Throughout my career, I have worked to ensure my scholarship adheres to the highest academic standards.”

As the controversy continues, tensions between those supporting Gay’s leadership and those critical of the university’s handling of the situation are likely to persist. Harvard, known for championing open discourse and academic freedom, finds itself navigating a delicate balance between addressing allegations of plagiarism and upholding its commitment to constructive discourse and scholarly standards.

In a surprising turn of events, the University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill and Scott L. Bok, chairman of the board of trustees, have “voluntarily” resigned following increased pressure from donors and the White House. Bok made the announcement of their resignations in a “University Notification” sent to staffers. Bok expressed gratitude for Magill’s service and mentioned that she will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law.

Bok’s separate resignation statement, obtained by the Daily Pennsylvanian, revealed that external attacks influenced Magill’s departure and that she was not herself during her Tuesday appearance before the House Education Committee. This appearance, where she faced questioning from Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) regarding the college’s code of conduct on issues like the genocide of Jews, triggered outrage among donors and others.

Magill’s resignation occurred four days after the contentious committee hearing. A source close to the situation disclosed that 27 Penn trustees met for two hours without Magill’s or Bok’s knowledge, recommending Magill’s resignation. Bok then announced his resignation during a call with trustees, surprising Vice Chairman Julie Platt.

Julie Platt will serve as acting chair, and the executive committee is expected to present a “plan forward” on Sunday. Larry Jameson, dean of Penn’s medical school, is being considered for an interim president position.

Reacting to the news of Magill’s resignation, Rep. Stefanik posted on social media, “One down. Two to go.” She vowed to initiate a comprehensive Congressional investigation into the universities’ handling of antisemitism, emphasizing the need to address the issue across various facets of institutional administration, faculty, funding, leadership, and governance.

New York’s Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul emphasized the state’s commitment to combating hate crimes during a Monday media briefing. The governor expressed concern over the recent surge in online “negativity” and “hate speech” and outlined the state’s proactive measures.

She highlighted the distress caused by the mistreatment of New Yorkers in various settings, including college campuses, streets, schools, and places of worship.

Governor Hochul stated, “It’s painful to see the cruelty with which New Yorkers are treating each other,” and immediately deployed the State Police to safeguard synagogues, yeshivas, mosques, and other potential targets of hate crimes.

To bolster these efforts, the governor announced a significant increase in funding, allocating $75 million overall. Of this, $50 million is designated for local law enforcement to enhance their initiatives, and an additional $25 million will be allocated for security grants.

The spike in antisemitic hate incidents, especially after the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, prompted urgent action. According to data from the New York City Police Department (NYPD), antisemitic hate incidents in New York City surged by nearly 331 percent.

Governor Hochul detailed the state’s plan to address incitement to violence and direct threats through monitoring social media. She emphasized the focus on collecting data from surveillance efforts and countering online negativity. The governor stressed the importance of reaching out to individuals when hate speech is identified online, asserting that no New Yorker should feel the need to hide their religious beliefs.

“We’re very focused on the data we’re collecting from surveillance efforts – what’s being said on social media platforms. And we have launched an effort to be able to counter some of the negativity and reach out to people when we see hate speech being spoken about on online platforms,” she said.

New York is home to approximately 2.2 million Jews out of a global population of around 16 million.

It has recently been uncovered that a CNN “freelance” reporter of eight years with 20+ bylines in the publication, is an Antisemite who supported Adolf Hitler.

The reporter, Adeel Raja, had a verified account on Twitter and wrote things such as, “The only reason I am supporting Germany in the finals – Hitler was a German and he did good with those Jews!” Raja wrote that on the day of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in which Germany defeated Argentina.

“Hail Hitler,” Raja tweeted the next day.

According to a statement from CNN, “As a freelancer, his reporting contributed to some newsgathering efforts from Islamabad. However, in light of these abhorrent statements, he will not be working with CNN again in any capacity.”

The revelations come as Hamas terrorists in Giza and the West Bank have been firing thousands of rockets across Israel, which have mostly been intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. On May 16, Raja wrote, “The world today needs a Hitler.”
