Yisrael Medad: Jewish anti-Zionists weaponize Jewish customs to attack Israel
Jewish anti-Zionists have been gnashing their teeth in uncontrollable grimacing these past years in reaction to the IHRA’s (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) working definition of antisemitism.

The definition includes denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, that Israel’s existence is a racist endeavor, comparing Israeli policy to that of the Nazis, or aiding the harming of Jews in the name of an extremist view of religion.

Those elements negate most of the essentials of Palestinianism, especially the version promoted by Hamas.

Psychotherapist Mark Golden, from Newton, Massachusetts, published a column in The Boston Globe on February 13 positing that criticizing Israel is not being antisemitic. Moreover, as a Jew, Golden asserted he is “offended when legitimate critiques of Israel’s violent campaign in Gaza are branded as antisemitic.”

He fears he may be silenced. All, of course, depends on the criticism’s content.

Jewish anti-Zionists
A decade ago, Richard Landes wrote that “forms of Jewish self-criticism need to be understood” as they can cross over “into pathology” when shared by Jew-haters and deniers of Jewish national identity who “would use it to promote demonizing and scapegoating narratives.”

And that is what has happened.

Golden’s column is in harmony with the recent “Stop the Ethnic Cleansing” advertisement published in The New York Times, which displayed the names of 350 rabbis and a few actors and public figures. According to the Vatican News, the ad was financed by progressive donors affiliated with the In Our Name Campaign.

This collective of Jewish philanthropists seeks to raise $10 million for organizations that support efforts to “build self-determination in Palestine.”

Their signatures were nowhere to be seen on a similar advert in 2005 when more than 8000 Jews, including corpses, were ethnically cleansed from Gaza. Nor will you see their signatures on petitions protesting a planned ethnic cleansing of 725,000 Jews from Judea & Samaria and post-1967 Jerusalem neighborhoods.
Who is calling who a Nazi?
The use of Nazi imagery has become so ubiquitous among Democrats that it almost precludes notice. But Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s parallels between U.S. President Donald Trump’s political agenda and the rise of Nazi Germany during his “State of the State” budget address on Feb. 19 hit a new low.

Veering from his speech, Pritzker, who is Jewish, referred to Nazis no less than six times during his criticism of Trump and his policies. In a glaring warning to Illinois citizens, he compared the rise of the Nazis to the Republican Party leader in the White House.

After castigating the president’s policies, including the deportation of violent illegal criminals, Pritzker said: “It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.”

Such deceitful criticism of Trump reeks of partisan animosity of the basest kind. The governor’s confusing use of Nazi imagery is targeting the wrong culprit and, in the process, exonerating the real perpetrators.

Pritzker’s comments lend fuel to the anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protestors who have regularly used Nazi euphemisms against the Jews, libeling them as “genocide” perpetrators in Gaza and calling for the “final solution” for Jews all over the world. His comments ignore the reality of a president who was praised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “the greatest friend that Israel has ever had in the White House.”

Indeed, Pritzker’s rebuke of the president came on the same day that the Trump administration stopped all funding for the Palestinian Authority, which continues its “pay for slay” policies, paying terrorists and their families for murdering Jews. It comes two days after Israel received a shipment of heavy MK-84 bombs from the United States, following Trump’s lifting of a block imposed on the export of the munitions by the Biden administration.

Pritzker must not have gotten the memo regarding Trump’s executive order two weeks ago outlining a broad federal crackdown on “the explosion of antisemitism” in the United States, especially on college campuses. The executive order cites “an unprecedented wave of vile anti-Semitic discrimination, vandalism and violence.” It instructs U.S. policy to use “all available and appropriate legal tools to prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence.” This includes the canceling of visas for foreign students who are “Hamas sympathizers” and deporting “pro-jihadist” protesters.


Olmert reveals for first time map of Palestinian state he offered Abbas
Former prime minister Ehud Omert has for the first time revealed the map for a two-state solution that he showed to Mahmoud Abbas in 2008, and spoke of how he urged the Palestinian Authority president to sign the document right there and then.

As legend would have it, after his meeting with Olmert, Abbas returned to his Ramallah headquarters in the West Bank and hastily drew up a copy of the map on a napkin for Palestinian officials to review. In fact, that sketch was made on a piece of paper that was previously revealed in 2013 along with details of the far-reaching concessions that Olmert offered.

However, the actual map he showed Abbas was, until now, hidden.

Olmert showed the map to documentary-maker Norma Percy as part of a series titled “Israel and the Palestinians: The Road to 7th October,” which was to be available on iPlayer from Monday, the BBC reported.

“This is the first time that I expose this map to the media,” he said.

Olmert and Abbas met in Jerusalem on September 16, 2008.

At the table, Olmert showed the map to Abbas and implored him “Sign it! Sign it, and let’s change history!” he said.

“Prime Minister, this is very serious. It is very, very, very serious,” Abbas said in response, Olmert recalled.



Olmert’s proposal included annexing 4.9 percent of the West Bank to Israel, which would give up a similar area of territory from areas near the West Bank and Gaza Strip to be included in the Palestinian state.

The swap would leave major settlement blocs in Israel, but also require evacuating dozens of smaller settlements.

In addition, Olmert offered to divide Jerusalem, with both Israel and the Palestinians having separate parts as their capital and a “holy basin” — including the Old City and its Temple Mount — to be administered by a committee from Israel, Palestine, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.

A tunnel or road would join the West Bank to Gaza, which at the time was already under control of the terror group Hamas.

As the meeting drew to a close, Olmert refused to give the map to Abbas unless he first signed a copy. Abbas declined, insisting he needed to study it first with his own experts.

Instead, they agreed to hold a follow-up meeting the next day.

“We parted, you know, like we are about to embark on a historic step forward,” Olmert said in the film.
New study: There was no famine in Gaza… according to famine review groups’ own data
A review conducted by the UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) organization into allegations by international famine review bodies that famine and severe malnutrition were widespread and prevalent in Gaza during the war between Israel and Hamas has found that famine did not break out in the territory according to the figures of the very organizations making the claims.

The report noted severe problems with the reports these organizations issued, due to what it said was their use of “incomplete or inaccurate data,” the inconsistent application of methodological standards, failure to take into account new data, and “potential bias” in how it interpreted and presented the information it had.

These groups data were used as evidence by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court prosecutor in legal proceedings they initiated against Israel, and have created severe legal problems for the State of Israel.

From almost the very beginning of the war, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), connected to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) established by USAID, began issuing periodic reports on the food security situation in Gaza, asserting in early and late 2024 that famine was either imminent or had already taken hold in parts of the territory.

Israeli academics and public health officials began questioning the accuracy and reliability of these reports from May 2024, highlighting how the estimates made by these organizations appeared to ignore key information about aid supply and use data from questionable sources.

UKLFI’s review of the issue, published last week and which highlighted these criticisms, found that there was no famine in Gaza during the war, as defined by IPC standards, and that even levels of acute malnutrition were only marginally higher than pre-war figures.


'I condemned Hamas—my own family blocked me': Arab peace activist on her journey from antisemitism to Judaism
Rawan Osman, a pro-Israel activist of Lebanese-Syrian descent now based in Germany, has become a prominent voice challenging antisemitism in the Arab world.

During a visit to Israel, she spoke to Ynetnews about her transformation from a Hezbollah supporter to a vocal Zionist, her work on the documentary Tragic Awakening and her decision to convert to Judaism.

Osman, who grew up in Lebanon, was raised on a state-sanctioned narrative that demonized Israel. "I was a fan of Hezbollah. I believed the narrative the state wanted us to learn about Israel and the Jews," she said. "I'd never spoken to a Jew until I moved to France in my twenties and lived in the Jewish quarter. That was my first encounter with Jews, and that opened my eyes." Her shift in perspective was not immediate but developed over years of reading about Israel and Jewish history. "It sounds as if it happened overnight, but that was a long journey," she explained. "Slowly, after years of reading about Israel and Jewish history, I became a proud Zionist activist. And after October 7, that event changed my life."

Osman has traveled to Auschwitz and visited Israeli communities near Gaza, deepening her understanding of Jewish suffering. She is baffled by the continued global support for Hamas despite the October 7 massacre. "I don't understand how anyone can buy their narrative," she said. "I just read this morning—like many around the world, we don’t want to believe the Bibas family was killed. They are monsters, and learning that the aggressor is your own side, not Israel, is a harsh realization. I'm trying desperately to get Arabs to understand that they are intensely brainwashed." She is outspoken about what she sees as the real threat in the region. "Every day, it becomes clearer that the enemy of the people in the region is not Israel, but the so-called 'Axis of Resistance' led by Iran or by the Iranian regime. The Iranian people are awesome and they deserve better."

Osman’s outspoken stance has come at a price. "I still have many family members and friends in Lebanon and Syria. Most of them blocked me right after October 7 when I made a public statement condemning Hamas and supporting Israel," she said. "Many out of fear, but many just because they are antisemites, as I was until my mid-twenties."

She has also faced threats, particularly from Palestinian communities. "I did receive many death threats in Germany. There is a criminal investigator I report some of them to, but as they say, 'A dog that barks rarely bites.' Those who want to kill me won’t inform me in advance," she said. "I have to be careful where I'm invited to speak publicly. We have heavy security, but I truly believe I'm doing the right thing, so it doesn’t bother me at all."


Kemi Badenoch calls for investigation into ‘systemic BBC bias against Israel’
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has called on the BBC to formally investigate accusations that it is “systemically biased” against Israel.

The Leader of the Opposition wrote to the corporation’s Director General Tim Davie to express concerns over “allegations of potential collusion with Hamas, and the possibility of payment to Hamas officials” in relation to a recent documentary.

The broadcaster removed Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone from all platforms, after it emerged that the teenage narrator of the documentary about the war in Gaza is the son of a senior Hamas official.

The corporation said it was conducting “further due diligence”, following the admission that Abdullah Al-Yazouri was the son of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in the Hamas government.

Badenoch wrote: “It is well known that inside Gaza the influence of the proscribed terrorist organisation Hamas is pervasive.

“How could any programme from there be commissioned, without comprehensive work by the BBC to ensure that presenters or participants were – as far as possible – not linked to that appalling regime?”

Her letter, first reported by the Daily Mail, continued: “Would the BBC be this naive if it was commissioning content from North Korea or the Islamic Republic of Iran?”

In calling for a probe into “systemic BBC bias against Israel”, the Tory leader also chastised the corporation’s coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict, claiming that “Israeli interlocutors are robustly interrogated, and Palestinian officials can speak with little challenge”.

She suggested that these claims were detrimental to the BBC’s “public standing” and that the Conservatives could not support the BBC’s licence fee system “without serious action”.

Meanwhile, on Friday, the BBC faced accusations of “whitewashing” Hamas propaganda after an article on the terror group’s handover ceremony for the bodies of murdered Israeli hostages, described banners, including images of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as a vampire alongside slogans accusing him of being a Nazi war criminal, as “highlighting the catastrophic consequences of Israel's military campaign in Gaza and the Palestinian determination to stay put”.
BBC spent £400,000 of licence payers’ cash on controversial Gaza doc branded ‘propaganda tool for Hamas’
THE BBC spent £400,000 of licence payers' cash making a documentary branded a propaganda show for evil terror group Hamas, The Sun can reveal.

Highly placed sources confirmed the huge sum was handed to the production company behind controversial prime-time programme Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone.

Hamas deputy minister of agriculture Dr Ayman Al-Yazouri is said to be Abdulla's father

The main narrator of the heart-tugging, supposedly factual exposé - 13-year-old Abdulla Eliyazour - was revealed to be the son of senior Hamas official Dr Ayman Al-Yazouri.

Money spent on the hour-long BBC2 programme was revealed yesterday as Tory leader Kemi Badenoch demanded to know whether any of the cash went to Hamas.

BBC bosses were forced to withdraw the documentary from its iPlayer streaming service last week pending "further due diligence" checks after being accused of pro-Hamas bias.

Anger grew after Beeb bosses initially tried to defend the programme, and blamed London-based production company Hoyo Films for not revealing the boy's link.


BBC Arabic ‘fails to challenge half of hateful statements by pro-Palestine guests’
The BBC’s Arabic channel has been accused of allowing ‘false’ and ‘hateful’ statements by pro-Palestinian contributors to go unchallenged while repeatedly challenging pro-Israel speakers.

Media observers have claimed that the channel’s presenters are far more likely to interrupt and challenge contributors who support Israel than those who criticise it.

BBC Arabic, which is run by the BBC World Service, has been criticised repeatedly for the way it reports the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

The latest row comes after Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary, said she would be holding urgent discussions with the BBC over concerns that it aired a documentary featuring Hamas propaganda.

On Friday, the BBC pulled the hour-long film from iPlayer. following a row over its use of the son of a Hamas minister as the narrator and central protagonist alongside two other children with family links to the terror group, without disclosing their connection to viewers.

Ms Nandy said she would be talking to the broadcaster to emphasise the importance of “getting it right” in its coverage of the conflict in Gaza.

The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (Camera) found that in a sample of nine cases on BBC Arabic, four statements by pro-Palestinian speakers which it described as hateful or false went unchallenged.

‘Misinformation’
At the same time Camera found that five pro-Israeli speakers were each challenged for their views, but with what it described as “misinformation”.

These included BBC Arabic presenter Akram Shaban saying of Hamas that “for their people they defend their land which is occupied according to international law” in response to Israeli speaker Idit Bar describing them as “terrorist gangs”.

During one interview with another Israeli speaker, Yoseph Haddad, in December 2023, Mr Shaban challenged his assertion that women had been raped and children burnt alive during the Oct 7 attacks two months earlier, despite evidence such atrocities had taken place.

By contrast contentious statements by pro-Palestinian speakers went unchallenged, Camera claims.
Legislation on IHRA definition of antisemitism splits New Jersey gubernatorial field
New Jersey legislation codifying the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism is splitting the Democratic field in the gubernatorial race, after one leading candidate said last week he’d veto the bill.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) told JI this week that she supported legislation under consideration in the state that would codify the IHRA definition as New Jersey’s official definition of antisemitism for assessing cases of antisemitic discrimination. “I’ve supported the IHRA definition in the U.S. House, and would support the current state Senate bill to combat the alarming rise of antisemitism in New Jersey,” Sherrill said in a statement to JI.

Rep. Josh Gottheimer’s (D-NJ) campaign indicated in a statement that he also supports the bill. His campaign manager, Chelsea Brossard, noted that he “helped write and pass” the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which codifies the IHRA definition at the Department of Education.

“Since October 7th, antisemitic incidents have skyrocketed to an all-time high in New Jersey. This is unacceptable, and Josh will continue working tirelessly at all levels of government to protect Jewish students and families from all forms of hate,” Brossard said.

Those comments come after Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who has touted his Jewish heritage on the campaign trail, said he was opposed to the legislation, arguing that it could infringe on criticism of Israel and ultimately exacerbate antisemitism.
Oklahoma advances bills to solidify IHRA antisemitism definition into law
Two bills that would solidify the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism into Oklahoma state law and educational policies passed in the state’s Senate committees in Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

The first bill, Senate Bill 942, was initiated by Oklahoma Republican Senator Kristen Thompson. SB 942 requires Oklahoma K-12 schools and institutes of higher education to include the International IHRA definition of antisemitism in their codes of conduct for students, faculty, and staff.

It, and the other bill, SB 991, were backed by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), an international network of 850 groups dedicated to combating antisemitism.

CAM noted that SB 942 strengthens Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by requiring Oklahoma’s Department of Education and the state’s Regents for Higher Education to monitor and investigate antisemitic discrimination in schools.

Senate Bill 991, also introduced by Senator Thompson, builds off a January 2022 proclamation issued by Governor Kevin Stitt adopting the IHRA antisemitism definition by formally incorporating it into Oklahoma state law.

Support and concern over the bill
The Senate Judiciary Committee passed SB 991 by a 7-0 vote. The Senate Education Committee passed SB 942 by a 7-3 vote.

The vote on SB 942 broke along party lines with all the Republicans voting in favor and all three Democratic state senators—Mark Mann, Jo Anna Dossett, and Carri Hicks—voting against.
Adrienne Adams is in thrall to the antisemitic left — and unfit to be our mayor
While Mayor Eric Adams’s legal troubles have been national news, New York City is getting ready for its mayoral election in November, with primaries taking place in June. Among those expected to vie for the Democratic nomination is the speaker of the City Council, Adrienne Adams (no relation). Hannah Meyers explains why this should worry members of America’s largest Jewish community:

On Tuesday, an anti-Israel mob targeted one of the city’s densest and most visible Jewish communities in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Rioters banged drums, shouted pro-Hamas slogans and chanted, “Zionists go to hell” as they waved Palestinian flags, their faces hidden behind keffiyeh scarves. Some broke through police barricades to charge at nearby Jews and pro-Israel demonstrators, leading to a violent scuffle.

Speaker Adams has consistently rejected opportunities to use her leadership position to show concern and support for New York’s Jewish community following the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel and the immediately ensuing rise in attacks on American Jews.

On top of these signals of disparate disregard for Jews, Speaker Adams in June drafted and promoted a City Council resolution demanding a cease-fire in the Gaza war—to the disgust of many Jewish council members and New Yorkers. The speaker showed her sympathy for the socialist left’s anti-Semitic politicking by allowing the preposterous appointment of Councilwoman Shahana Hanif as co-chair of a new City Council Task Force to Combat Hate. Hanif is a poster child for the normalization of vitriolic anti-Zionism among New York progressive politicians.
Web Summit’s anti-Israel CEO kicks off confab in Doha
Web Summit, a major tech event led by a strident critic of Israel, kicked off a conference on Sunday in Qatar, a key sponsor of Hamas, in close cooperation with the Qatari government.

Web Summit founder and CEO Paddy Cosgrave’s opening speech on Sunday evening was, in part, a paean to his “incredible host country” Qatar as “a gateway not just to the Middle East but to the world.” Cosgrave said in his address that the conference was not only for networking in the tech world, but to “tell the story of Qatar and its growing story in the world.”

Days after Hamas released the bodies of a baby and young child who were kidnapped to Gaza in the Oct. 7 attacks and murdered, and as Qatar represents Hamas’ interests in negotiations to free the 69 remaining hostages, Cosgrave praised Qatar’s “remarkable diplomatic skills.”

Among the featured speakers at this year’s Web Summit in Doha are Dow Jones CEO and Wall Street Journal Publisher Almar Latour, former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.

Also on the agenda are two sessions with Motaz Azaiza, an anti-Israel photographer from Gaza who shared video of Hamas terrorists kidnapping Israelis on Oct. 7 and another of them inside Israel along with the caption, “The Gazans entered the settlements!!!!!!!! With jeeps we see in the streets of Gaza.” Azaiza has compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler. Azaiza was declared one of Time‘s most influential people and one of GQ‘s Men of the Year in 2024.

Another speaker at Web Summit Qatar is Amjad Masad, a Jordanian tech CEO who has peddled conspiracy theories about how Israel draws the U.S. into wars and unduly influences American government policies, and has claimed that Israelis hunt Palestinians for sport.
NJ congressman slams Rutgers for ‘antisemitism’ after lecturer attends Hamas-linked webinar
U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) blasted Rutgers University on Friday for “rampant antisemitism” on campus after a lecturer participated in a webinar with a Hamas-affiliated organization and voiced support for the terror organization.

The move comes amid a burst of antisemitism at U.S. campuses nationwide in the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 massacre, the deadliest one-day attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

“It’s outrageous that yet another Rutgers faculty member, Hamid Abdeljaber, spoke on an antisemitic webinar tied to Hamas, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization,” said Gottheimer. “Not only did Hamid defend Hamas as part of a so-called ‘resistance,’ but he also celebrated its actions while promoting harmful antisemitic tropes and false narratives,” he added.

Abdeljaber, who teaches at Rutgers’ Center for Middle Eastern Studies, had earlier written an article in Arabic media glorifying Hamas’s “resistance,” which, he asserted, yields positive results for the Palestinians.

The lawmaker said that this was just the most recent example of “rampant antisemitism” on the campus of the state university. He went on to note that it follows a Faculty Union vote to approve an antisemitic BDS resolution last year and a university-funded center that openly promoted both antisemitic and anti-Israel propaganda.

“Rutgers University must not tolerate faculty members spewing vile antisemitism or conspiracy theories about the Jewish community. I have repeatedly called on Rutgers to take action against faculty who express antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetoric, and I will continue to do so until real action is finally taken,” said Gottheimer.
House Dem in Charge of Caucus-Wide Messaging Praises Activist Who Pledged To 'Take' Jews 'Back to Poland'
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D., Mich.), who leads a committee tasked with communicating "where House Democrats stand" on key issues, recently paid tribute to an anti-Israel activist who hailed the leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah as a "hero" and has called for Jews to be sent "back to Poland."

Dingell recognized Osama Siblani, the publisher of the Michigan-based Arab American News, in a submission to the Congressional Record on Jan. 28, according to House records. Dingell said Siblani’s "voice has rung loud and clear as an advocate for Arab lives around the world" and that his "efforts are worthy of commendation."

For Siblani, those efforts include praise for the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah and anti-Israel rhetoric.

At a rally in Dearborn he organized on Sept. 25, for example, Siblani hailed then-Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah as a "hero." When chants of "death to Israel" broke out during his speech, Siblani responded, "Believe me, they will take care of the job," an apparent reference to Hezbollah, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute. Siblani issued a message to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Jews: "We will take you back to Poland."

He has urged Arabs to "fight" against Israel with "stones," "guns," or "their hands." Siblani has lauded Hamas terrorists as "freedom fighters," and accused pro-Israel lawmakers of being "bought" by the "Zionist lobby."

Dingell’s homage to Siblani could raise questions for House Democratic leaders, many of whom have blamed the party’s communications failures and embrace of extremists for its election losses in November.

Dingell serves as chair of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, which is in charge of "developing and supporting a strong Caucus-wide message that forcefully communicates where House Democrats stand and sharply contrasts that with the extreme policies of House Republicans."

Dingell is not the first Democrat to court Siblani, who launched the Arab American News in Dearborn in 1984.
French court postpones decision on freeing Lebanese terrorist who killed diplomats
A French court on Thursday postponed a much-awaited decision on freeing pro-Palestinian Lebanese terrorist Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, jailed 40 years ago for the 1982 killings of an Israeli and US diplomat.

The Paris appeals court, which had been scheduled to deliver its verdict on Thursday, said it needed more time and would now revisit the case on June 19.

Abdallah, 73, was sentenced to life in prison for his involvement in the murders of US military attaché Charles Robert Ray and Israeli diplomat Yacov Barsimantov.

The United States, a civil party to the case, has consistently opposed his release but Lebanese authorities have repeatedly said he should be freed from jail.

In November, a French court ordered his release conditional on Abdallah, first detained in 1984 and convicted in 1987 over the murders, leaving France.

But France’s anti-terror prosecutors, arguing that he had not changed his political views, appealed the decision which was consequently suspended.

One of France’s longest-serving inmates, Abdallah has never expressed regret for his actions, claiming he was a “fighter” and not a “criminal”
Oxford Union standing committee could face criminal liability amid ongoing counter-terror investigation
Students on the Oxford Union’s governing body have been advised that they could face “liability, jointly, and severally” amid an ongoing counter-terrorism investigation, according to minutes from several meetings viewed exclusively by Cherwell. Police have been conducting enquiries since the Union’s hosting of a debate titled ‘This house believes that Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide’ last term.

The Standing Committee, the Union’s governing body, is made up entirely of Oxford University students elected by members. According to minutes from several behind closed doors meetings in early December, the Committee was informed that legal advice had been sought that had concluded “members of the Standing Committee (as of today) would be liable, jointly, and severally, at the point at which an investigation takes place.”

In these meetings, the President stressed that any members of the Standing Committee implicated in an investigation would be supported by the Union. Minutes also reveal that the President said members “should exercise their right to remain silent if approached by the police”. The same advice was offered for approaches by the press.

During the debate which prompted the investigation, a guest speaker in support of the motion, Miko Peled, described the terrorist attack carried out by Hamas on Israel on 7th October 2023 as an act of “heroism”. Opposition speakers at the time suggested this could be considered a criminal offence because it supported a proscribed terrorist group.

Counter Terrorism Policing South East told Cherwell they are “aware of reports of a person expressing support for a proscribed organisation, namely Hamas, at the Oxford Union on Thursday 28th November and enquiries are ongoing”.

The event led to protests and complaints from both pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian activists. It also saw members and guest speakers removed from the chamber amid the tense atmosphere.

One current member of Standing Committee, speaking anonymously, told Cherwell: “I don’t think members of Standing Committee are fully aware of the level of liability they face because of the negligence of others.”
Northwestern University Mandatory Anti-Discrimination Training Pushes Unverified CAIR Data
'This omission is not an oversight; it reflects Northwestern's ongoing pattern of sidelining Jewish concerns in response to activist pressure,' anti-Semitism expert says

Northwestern University's mandatory anti-discrimination training relies on unverified data from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that inflate Islamophobic attacks, giving the false impression that those attacks vastly outpace anti-Semitic hate crimes. The training also questions anti-Zionism's ties to Jew-hatred and explicitly addresses "anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian biases," but it doesn't do the same for anti-Israeli or anti-Zionist sentiment.

All Northwestern students, faculty, and staff across all departments, must watch the nearly 20-minute video training, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, and is part of a 3-hour online course created by the university.

"Reports from Northwestern University faculty and staff suggest that its so-called anti-discrimination training does the opposite of what it claims," Coalition Against Antisemitism at Northwestern president Michael Teplitsky told the Free Beacon. "Instead of fostering genuine inclusion, it selectively elevates certain perspectives while excluding Israeli students from the conversation—despite these students facing some of the most severe harassment and intimidation on U.S. college campuses."

"This omission is not an oversight; it reflects Northwestern's ongoing pattern of sidelining Jewish concerns in response to activist pressure," he added.

The training relies on separate datasets to show anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes. For anti-Semitic attacks, it cites official FBI data. But for Muslim attacks, the training showed unverified figures from CAIR—without citing the source.
Andrew Pessin: “Anti-Zionism is Antisemitism,” on Campus
[This article was previously published in several installments on this substack, but here it is all in one piece and one place. Meanwhile please check out my new two-volume work, “Israel Breathes, World Condemns,” a collection of my writings over the past decade documenting and analyzing the transformation of academia into an antizionist, antisemitic hatefest: Vol I, “The Trajectory,” and Vol. II, “The Aftermath.” All proceeds will go to support Israel.]

The expression, “anti-Zionism is antisemitism,” is obviously coarse. Both terms can mean many things, both ideologies can manifest themselves many ways, and the people subscribing to them, the anti-Zionists and the antisemites, are all unique individuals with idiosyncratic histories, motivations, etc., all of which makes evaluating the coarse expression itself very challenging. Taken literally, the expression asserts either that the ideologies are identical or that the former is a species of the latter. They are not identical: their basic definitions differ at least superficially and much antisemitism does not manifest itself as anti-Zionism. Thus I take the expression to assert that anti-Zionism is a species of antisemitism. But even here that doesn’t mean that every manifestation of anti-Zionism or every anti-Zionist is antisemitic; in fact one can be an anti-Zionist without being an antisemite, and some individuals may fall into that category. Strictly speaking, then, one should not generalize absolutely in the way that the coarse expression invites.

Note that that point goes both ways. Those who categorically deny that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism” would seem to be denying that anti-Zionism can ever be a manifestation of or motivated by antisemitism, which I will argue is clearly false. So perhaps both those inclined to affirm and those inclined to deny the coarse proposition should agree that “sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn’t,” so that the more nuanced question becomes that of determining just when it is and when it isn’t. The essay below is, ultimately, trying to do just that.

Nevertheless, since the slogan is widely debated in just that coarse way, and both for the ease of speaking and for the sake of theorizing, I too will incline toward the general. I will argue that—despite their differences in definitions and sometimes in details—the typical foundations, motivations, methods, and consequences of anti-Zionism (both as an ideology and as reflected in practice and activism), in the actual context in which the movement primarily exists and operates, generally justify even that coarse expression. Or more informally: in its actual manifestations anti-Zionism is indeed antisemitic, rather through and through, the occasional exception notwithstanding. My emphasis will be on the manifestations of these issues on North American campuses.

1. Introductory Matters
Answering the question whether anti-Zionism is antisemitism obviously requires definitions of each.

“Zionism” is the easier one: “Zionism” shall mean roughly the belief that Jews have the right to a sovereign state in their ancestral homeland, along with nearby permutations of the idea. “Anti-Zionism” would be the negation of that, which could amount to an “in principle” or an “in practice” opposition, or both. A proponent of the latter might support Zionism “in principle” but hold that, “in practice” it was or is unfeasible, or inconsistent with other “rights,” etc.[1] The stronger “in principle” anti-Zionism can take various forms, such as denying Jewish history or claiming that “Zionism is racism.”[2]

So understood, it isn’t “anti-Zionism” (nor antisemitism) to criticize this or that particular policy or behavior of Israel, though it may amount to anti-Zionism (and antisemitism) to do so dishonestly or to relentlessly, obsessively criticize every policy or behavior of Israel and find nothing redeemable about the state. Nor is it “anti-Zionism” (nor antisemitism) to advocate for a Palestinian state in the context of a two-state solution, nor to advocate for Palestinian rights more generally (except where these exclude Zionism). Zionism itself is perfectly consistent in principle with a Palestinian state and various Palestinian rights. Prior to 1948 “anti-Zionism” refers to the opposition to establishing the Jewish state; post-1948 it now invariably includes the practical aim of dismantling the Jewish state to which it objects, which involves far more than merely “criticizing” this or that policy or policies.
Life at Columbia U: Pro-Palestinian protestors disrupt Israel history class, vandalism
We are almost a month into the 2025 spring semester at Columbia University, yet the cold and often dreary New York City weather of January and February has not deterred all aspects of student life.

The protest activity that overtook Columbia (and other colleges and universities nationwide, and eventually worldwide) after October 7 is alive and well. Memorable for its insistence on the destruction of the Jewish state, the students in this movement remain staunch in their efforts and messaging.

The bombardment of Israeli professor Avi Shilon’s History of Modern Israel class by pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protestors on the first day of the semester was widely reported.

Less documented, however, were the incidents of vandalism and accompanying sewage attack the following week. With red spray paint, student protestors vandalized the Henry R. Kravis building at the Business School as well as a number of women’s bathrooms at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA, where I am a student).

At SIPA, however, the vandalism consisted of more than just paint. In addition to images of Hind Rajab—a 6-year-old who died during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and whom these students identify as one of their many martyrs—the student protestors spayed the words “Keren eat Weiner” with a depiction of feces, referencing our (Israeli) dean, Keren Yarhi-Milo, and Rebecca Weiner, the NYPD deputy commissioner for intelligence and adjunct SIPA professor.

More than this, the toilets in the women’s restrooms on the fourth, sixth, 14th, and 15th floors were filled with cement in an attempt to clog the sewage system and “shut down business as usual.”

Why? Well, based on the group’s own post—published for all to see—they acted to honor “the bravery of every Palestinian child who has faced down Israeli genocide for the last century—whether they threw a Molotov at a checkpoint” or “a rock at a tank…
Barnard College expels students involved in anti-Israel class disruption
Barnard College has expelled two second-semester seniors who last month disrupted a History of Modern Israel class, banged on drums, chanted “free Palestine” and distributed posters to students that read “CRUSH ZIONISM” with a boot over the Star of David, Jewish Insider has learned, according to a source familiar with the matter.

During the demonstration, which occurred on Jan. 21 — the first day of the spring semester — two Barnard students, a Columbia student and a fourth person who remains unidentified also tried to plaster the walls of the classroom with a sign featuring an illustration of Hamas terrorists pointing guns and the words “THE ENEMY WILL NOT SEE TOMORROW.”

Columbia University suspended the Columbia participant on Jan. 23, “pending a full investigation and disciplinary process,” according to the university. The investigation remains ongoing. Students have the right to appeal suspensions under the guidelines to the Rules and the Anti-Discrimination and Discriminatory Harassment Policies and Procedures for Students. Barnard College is an affiliate of Columbia University.

In a statement to JI, Barnard President Laura Rosenbury declined to provide details about the expulsions. “Under federal law, we cannot comment on the academic and disciplinary records of students,” Rosenbury said.

“That said, as a matter of principle and policy, Barnard will always take decisive action to protect our community as a place where learning thrives, individuals feel safe, and higher education is celebrated,” Rosenbury continued.

“This means upholding the highest standards and acting when those standards are threatened. When rules are broken, when there is no remorse, no reflection, and no willingness to change, we must act. Expulsion is always an extraordinary measure, but so too is our commitment to respect, inclusion, and the integrity of the academic experience. At Barnard, we always fiercely defend our values. At Barnard, we always reject harassment and discrimination in all forms. And at Barnard, we always do what is right, not what is easy.”


Qatar's grip on education is causing an explosion of campus antisemitism
For months, I have followed the disturbing rise of antisemitism in US universities, especially after Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel on October 7. But nothing prepared me for the jaw-dropping moment I experienced while watching a recent Al Jazeera podcast.

Khaled Al-Hroub, a professor at Northwestern University in Qatar, spoke not as an academic but as a mouthpiece for Hamas, painting the terrorist group as a symbol of resilience. His rhetoric was not just disturbing – it was dangerous.

This wasn’t an isolated case of radical bias. It was a symptom of a larger, well-funded infiltration by Qatar, which has spent billions to manipulate American academia, indoctrinate students, and turn campuses into breeding grounds for hate.

When I tuned in to the Al Jazeera podcast, I expected an analysis of the war in Gaza. Instead, I found outright propaganda. Hroub, supposedly an academic, openly glorified Hamas. He wasn’t alone – professors at Georgetown, Harvard, and other prestigious universities have been caught pushing similar narratives.

How can American universities allow their faculty to justify terrorism? Because many of them are funded – bought – by Qatar, a country with a vested interest in spreading extremist ideology. The more research I did, the clearer the pattern became: Qatar is using America’s elite schools as vehicles for propaganda, erasing the line between education and indoctrination.

Qatar has poured over $6 billion into US universities in the past decade, making it the single largest foreign donor in American academia. Prestigious institutions like Harvard, Georgetown, and Northwestern have eagerly accepted these funds, establishing satellite campuses in Doha and injecting Qatari influence directly into their programs. What does Qatar get in return? Influence, power, and the ability to manipulate curricula, reward pro-Qatar faculty, and silence dissenting voices.

Georgetown University’s Qatar campus has been exposed for promoting narratives sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood, the ideological parent of Hamas. Harvard has seen its Middle Eastern studies programs shaped by Qatari funding, conveniently ignoring radical Islamic terrorism and Qatar’s own human rights abuses.
How Universities Get Away With Hiring Radicals
In the days after the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Jemma Decristo, a UC Davis professor, took to social media to express support for the violent energies that had erupted in the Middle East. “HELL YEAH,” Decristo wrote on X, responding to a report that protesters had set fire to the Israeli embassy in Jordan. Reposting news of protests at the United States embassy in Lebanon, Decristo added, “[fire icon] to the US embassy. US out of everywhere. US GO HOME. US GO HOME.”

One of her posts roused national attention: “One group of ppl we have easy access to in the US is all these zionist journalists who spread propaganda & misinformation,” Decristo wrote. “they have houses w addresses, kids in school. they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.” She concluded with a series of icons: a knife, an axe, and three blood drops.

Shortly afterward, the university launched an investigation into Decristo’s comments, and in April of 2024, the StandWithUs Center for Legal Justice filed a lawsuit against the university for its inaction on anti-Semitism, putting the professor’s threats atop a list of examples in a press release. As of this writing, UC Davis has not disciplined Decristo.

Following Decristo’s comments, UC Davis chancellor Gary May said in a statement that calls for violence were inconsistent with the university’s commitment to “equity and justice.” Ironically, Decristo’s employment at UC Davis came about precisely because of the University of California’s purported commitment to social justice. Decristo, once described by UC Davis as a “scholar-artist-activist,” was recruited through the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP), which fast-tracks scholars showing a “commitment to diversity” into permanent faculty roles.

A growing number of like-minded activists are following Decristo’s path. For years, universities, federal agencies, and private foundations have worked to create well-funded career pathways for scholar-activists in higher education. The network includes undergraduate fellowships, graduate school funding, special hiring initiatives, and even administrator development programs. This constellation of “pipeline programs” is intended to hire more minorities; in practice, it heavily favors academics who view their scholarship as an extension of their political agenda.

The programs also raise legal questions. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in hiring. After President Trump’s executive order “ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity,” many universities will likely reassess their pipeline programs to avoid federal scrutiny.


Rejuvenation: CAMERA’s Focus on the World Media
The media watchdog Committees for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis is actually global, to the benefit of all. Adam Levick speaks with Eve Harow from the Israel based office about his particular work monitoring the British press. The last 16 months have seen a skyrocketing number of journalistic lies that have fomented anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiments. The organization׳s attention to truthful detail has garnered hundreds of corrections and fewer attempts to twist facts. Their work on campus and elementary school curricula is critical in ensuring that the educational environment is what we need, as well.


Muslim Vote Convener warned by his education department employer over comments made on Sydney nurses
Muslim Vote convener and public servant Sheikh Wesam Charkawi has been ordered to work from home for allegedly breaching the NSW Education Departments' social media policy and code of ethics.

In an Instagram post on February 16, Sheikh Wesam, commented on the two Sydney nurses threatening harm to Israeli patients in a video.

He criticised Australian politicians, branding their response as "selective moral outrage".

The Western Sydney Imam is a support officer at Granville Boys High School and a well-established youth leader in the Muslim community.

He is also a prominent figure at the helm of the "teal-style" Muslim Vote movement, aiming to unseat Labor frontbenchers like Jason Clare and Tony Burke in the fast-approaching federal election.

In an accompanying video in his Instagram post, Sheikh Wesam said the nurses' comments were "never meant to be literal or intended to be a threat to patient care", and that "in current times, in which genocide is unfolding live on our screens, emotions can sometimes get the better of anybody".

He criticised the "hypocrisy" of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Health Minister Ryan Park for remaining "silent (or) hesitant when confronted with the most egregious acts of violence committed by Israel".


Israeli who averted bus bombing: ‘I was a messenger of God’
When 26-year-old Adi Jegna first noticed the white bag on one of the seats at the back of her city bus in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bat Yam on the way home from work Thursday evening, something didn’t feel right. So she got up and took a closer look.

Inside the bag, she saw rolls of toilet paper, and a container with some yellowish liquid.

“Frankly speaking I debated whether I should say anything,” she recounted to JNS on Sunday.

However, Jegna moved the bag a bit and saw some lettering in Arabic. “Then I understood I could not ignore it,” she said.

Still worried she was over-reacting, she walked up to the bus driver as her stop was approaching and told him that there was a suspicious bag towards the back of the bus, before getting off. Though the bus was almost at the end of its route, there were still some other passengers aboard.

The driver immediately contacted his superiors, who instructed him to head straight to the nearby bus depot while the police bomb squad was alerted. No sooner had he gotten off the bus himself than a huge explosion ripped through it.
Gazan rocket fired at Israel, hits inside Strip
A terrorist rocket that was fired toward Israeli territory fell short and struck inside the Gaza Strip on Monday afternoon, the Israel Defense Forces said.

“The details are under investigation,” the military statement added.

According to reports in Palestinian media, the projectile was launched from the city of Rafah, located in the southernmost part of the Strip.

Following the attempted attack, the IDF “struck the launch site from which the projectile was fired, as well as an additional launch site in the area,” the military announced.

On Feb. 13, a 14-year-old Palestinian was killed in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip when a terrorist rocket fell short inside the coastal enclave.

Unconfirmed video footage posted to social media showed a projectile striking inside a densely populated area shortly after being launched.

The Israeli military decided on Sunday to “increase military and operational readiness” in the area surrounding the Strip.

The decision on Sunday night came after a situational assessment, the army statement noted, adding that “as of now, there is no change in the instructions for the home front.”


IDF’s expanded presence on Syrian side of buffer zone appears long-term
Israel’s broadened military presence on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights buffer zone set up after the Yom Kippur War seems set to be long-term, following uncertainty over the possible approach by radical Sunni or Shi’ite elements to the Israeli border and the nature of the Syrian regime.

JNS has learned that a Feb. 18 report by Haaretz stating that Israel has built at least seven military outposts in the demilitarized zone, on the Syrian side, citing satellite imagery, is accurate.

The new outposts are considered vital strategic positions in the buffer zone separating Israel from Syria.

They span the entire demilitarized zone, from Mount Hermon in the north to Tel Kudna in the south, near the border area between Israel, Jordan and Syria, the report stated.

Lt. Col. (res.) Marco Moreno is a former senior officer in the Israel Defense Force’s Human Intelligence Unit 504 who was responsible for the Lebanon and Syria arenas, and the founder and commander from 2012 to 2016 of the IDF’s “Operation Good Neighbor,” which provided humanitarian aid to Syrians during the civil war.

Moreno told JNS on Monday, “In the Middle East, long-term could be between months and years. I think that the formula is that once the Israeli defense establishment feels that Syria is stabilized—first, that we are not faced with terror or violent acts, and second, that there are strategic points where we can assess with high certainty that will not exploited in order to harm us, to use it as a springboard to attack us—then the IDF will withdraw from these points and return them to other Syrian forces.”

He emphasized that the timeline for this remains uncertain.

“How long will that take? We don’t know. I know that the defense establishment is dealing with this, also through some form of dialogue with local elements, as the defense minister has said. We have to wait. I think the military is acting with discretion and is minimizing risk, and that is how it should be.”
IDF operating ‘day and night’ to destroy arms in Syria
Israeli troops deployed to the buffer zone with Syria continue to destroy weapons belonging to the former Assad regime that “pose a danger to the security of the State of Israel and our forces,” the army said on Monday.

Soldiers from the 474th Golan Regional Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces 210th “Bashan” Division carried out “dozens of targeted raids in which they located, confiscated and destroyed a variety of weapons,” the IDF said.

“We are conducting operations day and night,” 474th Brigade battalion commander Lt. Col. H. said in remarks published by the military. “In an activity we conducted tonight, we found weapons inside one of the houses, and this is connected to a series of operations in which we also found missiles, explosives and mines, as well as explosive devices, tanks and armored personnel carriers, which we also blew up and destroyed.

“All of this in order to protect the residents of the southern Golan Heights and the citizens of the State of Israel,” said the commander.

In another raid last week, paratroopers operating under the brigade’s command located rifles, ammunition and other equipment left behind by the former Syrian Armed Forces, according to the IDF statement.


Seth Frantzman: Iran praises historic Hezbollah funeral as sign of resilience
The Iranian Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said in a statement on February 24 that the “epic funeral held in Beirut for assassinated Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine demonstrates that Hezbollah is vibrant.”

This is the narrative that Iran’s state media and systems have been pushing since the burial of the Hezbollah leader. Nasrallah ran Hezbollah for three decades, building it into a formidable force. An important part of that force was destroyed by Israel in the conflict last year.

Iran didn’t want to sacrifice its Hezbollah proxy. Some experts believe that Hezbollah became an insurance policy for Iran against strikes on its nuclear program. But Hezbollah grew too large, “too big to fail,” in a sense. It was such a gold-plated terrorist proxy that Iran feared losing it in a full-blown war. That led to Hezbollah being stuck in a tit-for-tat war with Israel after the Hamas attack.

In essence, Hamas wagged the Hezbollah dog and Hezbollah got stuck firing a few rockets a day at Israel.Until Israel turned the tables on the group in mid-September 2024.

In November, Hezbollah basically accepted a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel and the terror group is now finding it difficult to change the equation.

Iran is putting on a brave face, asserting that all is well in Beirut. It saw the turnout at the “epic funeral” as an example of how “vibrant” Hezbollah continues to be. However, the Israeli Air Force flying over the funeral illustrates that Hezbollah can no longer be the “resistance” it has claimed to be.
Pro-Iranian influencers invited on 'Birthright-style trip' to Nasrallah's funeral
Influencers from across the world were invited to Beirut to take part in the funeral of Hezbollah leaders, participate in a trip to southern Lebanon, and attend a conference to coordinate messages.

Some of these influencers included US blogger Jackson Hinkle, Irish actor Tadhg Hickey and activist Tara Reynor O’Grady, and Brazilian content creator Thiago Ávila.

In the days leading up to the mass funeral procession of assassinated Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hisham Safieddine, a conference titled “Global Awakening and Palestine” took place in Beirut, in which supporters of the Islamic Republic axis took part in coordinating narratives.

These included, in addition to Hinkle, head of the media office of the Houthi Ansar Allah organization Mazin Hebah, pro-Houthi Yemeni blogger Osama Alfarran, Lebanese content creator Hasan Hashem, and former lecturer at Wuhan University Christopher Helali.

The conference’s organizers were not disclosed, though Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Al Mayadeen was the sole channel reporting from within the conference, leading to the belief that they were among the organizers.

“The goal of this conference is to bring together influencers and content creators from around the world who came to Lebanon to participate in the great funeral,” said one of the organizers.

“They came from all over the world, especially from America and Europe, and countries that we are not used to speaking this narrative. And this narrative, unfortunately, was written in blood and not in ink.”


Argentine president opening files on Nazi ‘ratlines’ that trafficked Eichmann, Mengele
Argentinian President Javier Milei promised officials of the Simon Wiesenthal Center his full cooperation in granting access to documents related to the financing of so-called “ratlines” that helped Nazis escape Europe after the Holocaust. The promise was made in Buenos Aires at the presidential palace, Casa Rosada, during a meeting with Milei and activists on Tuesday.

For decades, organizations including the Simon Wiesenthal Center, named after the famed Nazi hunter, have sought records related to unofficial escape routes taken by thousands of Nazis during the years after World War II. Up to 10,000 Nazis and other fascist war criminals escaped justice by fleeing to Argentina and other countries.

“While some previous leaders promised full cooperation to get to the hard truths that involved Argentina’s past, Milei is the first to act with lightning speed to enable the SWC to uncover important pieces of the historic puzzle, especially as it related to involvement with Nazis before, during and after the Holocaust,” Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Times of Israel.

Milei also made headlines last week for declaring two days of national mourning for the slain Bibas hostages — Shira Bibas and her children, Ariel and Kfir. An image of the trio was projected onto a central obelisk in Buenos Aires on Thursday night.

During the SWC meeting on Tuesday, Jonathan Missner, managing partner at Stein, Mitchell, Beato & Missner, brought a letter from US Senator Charles Grassley, chairman of the US Senate Judiciary Committee. The letter — which was handed to Milei — requested the Argentinian leader’s assistance in uncovering how the ratlines were organized and funded. A copy of the letter was sent to US President Donald Trump.
