04/15 Links Pt2: Agam Berger: I Kept My Freedom in Hamas's Captivity; From Gaza to the Ivory Tower: The War on Israel; Trump freezes $2.2 bil in grants to Harvard

From Ian:

Seth Mandel: Whose Freedom?
The defenders of these institutions are merely demanding that Trump let them go back to the status quo of having academic freedom for some but not for others. If these groups would as emphatically demand the protection of Jewish academic freedom, we’d know they were sincere. As of now, there are zero such groups.

Same goes for free speech and free expression. On these campuses, Jewish and Israeli students have been repeatedly singled out, student organizations have placed exclusions on Jewish participation and identifiable Jews have been systematically attacked, harassed, and prevented from enjoying the same free expression that is routinely granted the pro-Hamas mobs calling for death to the Jews.

Harvard’s Jews were told they could not keep their Hanukkah menorah up overnight because the school would not guarantee its safety. That’s the status quo Harvard that its defenders seek to return to. Not a single one of them is truly interested in free speech, free expression, or academic freedom.

These institutions also take money from authoritarian, anti-American regimes such as Qatar. A 2022 study found that “as funding from Middle Eastern countries increases — and becomes less transparent to the public — certain campuses experience campaigns to silence academics, an erosion of democratic values, and a lack of response to attacks on students’ freedom of expression.” Harvard was part of this trend.

Does Harvard abhor the deleterious effects of government funding on academic freedom? Or does Harvard abhor the effects of U.S. government funding while ignoring the effects of cash infusions from anti-democratic regimes?

These institutions and their defenders would likely find more sympathy in dealing with the Trump administration’s overreach had they ever defended academic freedom, freedom of speech and expression, and true independence from government when it mattered.
Andrew Pessin: The Greatest Conspiracy Theory Ever Told — And the Real Conspiracy Nobody Talks About
Prior to 1967, much of the world understood it as a conflict between the Jews and the Arabs, the minority Jews struggling against the more powerful majority Arabs, the Jews a David versus the Arabs’ Goliath.

But after 1967, the Soviets began stressing the same propaganda terms with which they had been framing their more general battle against the West. During much of the Cold War and the period of global decolonization, they proclaimed themselves to be “anti-colonialists” supporting “national liberation movements” against the “imperialist” West, and so now the Middle East conflict was deliberately reframed as one in which the indigenous (newly invented) “Palestinian people” were fighting off the “imperialist-colonialism” of the invading Jews.

Overnight, the “Jewish-Arab” conflict became the “Israeli-Palestinian” conflict, where the Israelis looked big and strong and the Palestinians puny and weak, thus instantly reversing the “David-Goliath” framing. Some go so far as to say that the very “Palestinian” identity was formed or crafted in this period precisely to play this role, with the Soviets, via their work with the Palestine Liberation Organization and Arafat, being the central agent.

In other words, the whole thing was a psy-op — an extremely successful one that, to this day, brings the political Left across the globe into the global conspiracy against the Jews.

The second point is once again to emphasize the role of propaganda (in particular, as produced by the “intellectuals,” the “scientists,” the “professors”) in developing and advancing this conspiracy. In addition to the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies Tabarovsky also discusses the “KGB-supervised Anti-Zionist Committee of the Soviet Public” (2019), itself producing the literature then translated into other languages and distributed abroad by the Novosti Press Agency, “a news service and an important arm of Soviet foreign propaganda.”

But now to get a more “vivid picture of Moscow’s approach to solving its Zionist problem” we can glimpse at just one example of the many that Tabarovsky (2019) examines, an article from 1969 or 1970 entitled “Anatomy of Israeli Aggression.” Written by Yevgeny Yevseyev, “one of the key ideologues of … Soviet anti-Zionism — the so-called Zionologists,” the article reports on yet another Soviet conference, the “Second International Conference in Support of the Arab Peoples” occurring in Cairo in 1969.

“Protocols”-style, the article frames Zionism as part of an imperialist global conspiracy against the national liberation movement and communism, affiliated with and a continuation of Nazism, and inevitably engaged in “genocide, racism, perfidy, duplicity, aggression, annexation,” and therefore, in essence, an enemy of most of the globe. The goal was thus to mobilize “world public opinion” by disseminating information about alleged “Israeli atrocities.”

If all that sounds familiar, it is because you are aware how the anti-Zionist “progressive” world approaches Israel to this very day, only it was all hatched quite deliberately over the past five decades. What we see in this article is literally a sketch of the playbook — the protocols — of the campaign to destroy the Jews and their national endeavor.

And just as we saw with the Nazis, the campaign against the Jews would borrow many of the methods allegedly laid out by the Jews themselves in the fabricated “Protocols” — while being motivated by (falsely) accusing the Jews of being guilty of them!

And lest you underestimate the true scale of this campaign against the Jews, note that this article was published in the “World Marxist Review — the English edition of the Prague-based Soviet theoretical journal ‘Problems of Peace and Socialism.’ Published in 40 languages and distributed in 145 countries, the journal reached an estimated half million of the most committed leftists around the globe” (2019).

Another way to think about the scale of this: At its peak, the Soviet Union was more than a thousand times bigger than the sliver which is the State of Israel, with nearly a hundred times its population in 1967 (a particularly salient year in the anti-Zionist conspiracy). If it were just the Soviet Union versus Israel, it already would be an enormous Goliath against a tiny David.

But it wasn’t just the Soviet Union; it was the Soviet Union, the entire Arab and Muslim worlds, and most of the Third World. We have nothing less than an actual mammoth global campaign to subjugate the Jews and destroy their national endeavor, all based on the fabricated (and delusional) allegation of that tiny population’s conspiracy to subjugate the behemoth instead.
Gadi Taub: From Gaza to the Ivory Tower: The War on Israel
Right before the war, Haaretz editor Aluf Benn published an op-ed arguing that it was time to remove the word “Jewish” from the phrase “Jewish and democratic.” That was a direct call to abandon Zionism in favour of a non-national state—probably one that includes Gaza and Judea and Samaria—and renounces the Jewish character of Israel.

This wasn’t surprising. They’d been undermining Zionism quietly for years, but now they said it out loud. Why then? Because it was clear that judicial reform had failed, and the power of Israel’s Supreme Court had been cemented—maybe even expanded. The Court holds a radical, progressive, post-nationalist worldview that is sympathetic to a non-Zionist vision of Israel.

The only way to make Israel not Jewish is to subvert its democracy. If you have universal suffrage and a Jewish majority, that majority will always vote to preserve a Jewish state. So Aluf Benn likely saw an opportunity: The danger of democratic reform had passed, and now was the time to push the anti-Zionist agenda more openly. But then October 7th happened, and suddenly abandoning the Jewish state didn’t seem like such a good idea.

Also worth noting: the Israeli Left has shut down a right-wing media outlet. It was a radio station, and it’s the only case in Israeli history where a media outlet was shut down—and it was on the right. When Ben-Gurion tried to shut down a communist newspaper, the Supreme Court protected it. But only the right has ever been silenced like this.

Haaretz, on the other hand, screams “censorship” any time someone criticises them. But why should the government be giving them advertising revenue? Why should civil servants be able to subscribe to Haaretz at taxpayers’ expense? Why should we help fund a newspaper whose publisher is calling for sanctions against Israel in wartime?

So now, finally, there’s some courage to push back—because the case is so clear. But Haaretz is not in danger of being shut down. They can raise their own subscriptions. We just shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.

Even abroad, people are noticing. Jeffrey Goldberg—hardly a right-winger—said he cancelled his Haaretz subscription because he was getting too many links to it from neo-Nazis. And it’s true: if you look at neo-Nazi sites like The Daily Stormer, which sees itself as the successor to Der Stürmer, there are hundreds of references to Haaretz articles. Because when someone like Gideon Levy writes, “Stop Living in Denial: Israel Is an Evil State,” the antisemites say, “See? Even the Jews say it.”

David Duke has cited Haaretz hundreds of times. They’ve become one of the most effective producers of antisemitic material in the world. And because it’s coming from Jews, it’s treated as authoritative—as self-testimony.

What’s also collapsing now, hopefully, is the broader machinery of lies—the same system that promoted the Iran nuclear deal. That’s what Ben Rhodes was famous for: creating an “echo chamber,” planting narratives in the media, and manufacturing a false sense of consensus.

That machine began to fall apart during the Trump–Biden debates. People started to realise they’d been lied to for three years. “He’s sharp as a tack,” they were told. Then suddenly it’s Kamala Harris and Joy Reid we’re supposed to accept as the real voices. The whole thing started to unravel.

A big part of that was Elon Musk buying Twitter. He broke a huge piece of that narrative-control machine.

Then there’s Trump himself. And Netanyahu. And Netanyahu understands something that’s often missed: beyond the battlefield, there’s a war of narratives.

One narrative—promoted by the Biden administration, the Israeli Left, Haaretz, most of the liberal media, and academia—is that Zionism is a relic of Western colonialism. It needs to be dismantled.

The other narrative—Netanyahu’s narrative—is that Zionism is not the rear guard but the avant garde of the West. Israel is the front line in the battle between the West and its enemies.

According to the first view, jihad is just armed resistance—a reaction to Western guilt. And the solution is to make amends and offer reparations.

But Netanyahu’s view is: These are our mortal enemies. They must be taken seriously. And Israel is leading the struggle. That’s what he said in his speech to Congress, where he got 37 standing ovations: “Our war is your war. Our victory will be your victory.” The West needs to shake off its postcolonial illusions, see the threat clearly, and stand with us.


Agam Berger: I Kept My Freedom in Hamas's Captivity
I was kidnapped by Hamas, taken to Gaza and held hostage for 482 days. Today I am home, healthy and whole in body, soul and spirit.

This Passover, I am reflecting on my freedom. When Hamas overran the Nahal Oz base on Oct. 7, 2023, many of my friends were murdered.

I survived the massacre - when babies, children, women and elderly men were killed simply because they were Jews.

Even as Hamas tried to coerce me into converting to Islam - at times, forcing a hijab on my head - they couldn't take away my soul.

My fellow scout Liri Albag and I marked Passover together last year. Held in a small room with no natural light, we did what we could to set the holiday mood.

We cleaned our room and adorned the table with napkins and other small "decorations" made from scraps of paper.

As a surprise, Liri wrote me a makeshift Passover Haggadah, the text that recounts our ancestors' journey out of slavery.

The Jewish people don't have a history - they have memory.

"History" the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks wrote, is "an event that happened sometime to someone else. Memory is my story - something that happened to me and is part of who I am."

The Jewish people are told to remember - "remember what Amalek did to you," "remember the Sabbath," "remember the stand at Mount Sinai."

There is now a new, painful command: "Remember Oct. 7."
Bibas family cousin speaks out, shares hope for remaining hostages (Yossi Schneider) | The Quad
Israel Innovation Envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum sits down with Yossi Schneider, cousin of Shiri Bibas, to share the untold personal tragedy behind one of Israel’s most devastating hostage stories from October 7th.

Yossi opens up about the heartbreak of losing his cousin Shiri, her husband, and their two children, Ariel and Kfir. With raw honesty, Yossi speaks about the cruelty of Hamas, the failure of global institutions like the Red Cross and human rights organizations and the moral collapse of a world that still refuses to take a stand.

The episode covers the hypocrisy of international leaders, the silence of the UN, the betrayal by so-called humanitarian groups, and the importance of Jewish unity in the face of terror. Yossi also offers powerful insight into what Israel must do next—on the battlefield, in diplomacy and in fighting for the return of every last hostage.

NYPost Editorial Board: Josh Shapiro survives deadly arson attack—now the left must own the culture of political violence it created
Sunday’s arson attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is the latest in an epidemic of political violence that’s been plaguing the nation for half a decade — an epidemic driven by the left.

Happily, Shapiro and his family were unharmed, while alleged would-be assassin Cody Balmer is in custody.

Balmer is plainly deranged, but he declares himself a “socialist” in social media accounts expressing a range of far-left beliefs.

And the far left’s normalization of violence goes back at least to 2020, when (amid the pandemic and lockdowns) what started as protests in Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd quickly morphed into violent riots nationwide.

Did national Democrats disavow the murderous thugs?

On the contrary, they embraced and praised them: We live in a state of emergency caused by Donald Trump, anything goes!

And that embrace has continued to the present day.

Witness the terror attacks against pro-life groups and the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh around the court overturning Roe v. Wade, attacks echoing violent rhetoric from Sen. Chuck Schumer about Kavanaugh and fellow Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Witness the widespread effort to minimize and mock the near-assasination of Donald Trump on the campaign trail.

Witness the love lefty Dems from AOC to ex-Rep. Jamal Bowman to President Joe Biden displayed for the violent, Jew-hating neo-brownshirts spewing hate across college campuses in support of Hamas and its Oct. 7 butcheries.
Pa. arson suspect Cody Balmer was out on bail when he allegedly firebombed Gov. Josh Shapiro’s mansion — as he pulls sick faces outside of court
The Pennsylvania man accused of firebombing Gov. Josh Shapiro’s mansion was out on bail when he allegedly carried out the arson, The Post can reveal.

Cody Balmer’s mother, meanwhile, said she desperately tried to get police to lock up her son prior to the attack.

Balmer, 38, pulled sick faces as he was hauled back into a Harrisburg courtroom for his arraignment Monday, when he was hit with eight charges including terrorism, aggravated arson, criminal homicide and prowling at night.

The former mechanic, who said he is now jobless, penniless and lives with his parents, was free after making bail for a 2023 simple assault charge, courts spokesperson Stacey Witalec told The Post.

In that case, he was accused of stomping on his 10-year-old son’s broken leg and battering his wife, according to a police report.


‘I can’t discuss Israel with my anti-Zionist kids – it’s pointless.’
The shift in her sons’ attitudes began she says at the Russell Group universities they both attended. “That’s where they first encountered and swallowed Corbynist claptrap and where I feel they were desperate to identify with their peers, to fit in. Their position on Israel now feels immutable and the arguments along the way have been so horrible, that I don’t bring the subject up any more. It’s too painful. And it also feel pointless – we all end up shouting at each other.”

Dalia*, an Israeli and Israel activist in London, knows all about the yelling that often accompanies in this inter-generational rift.

“My daughter has screamed that I am a Nazi and I have called her a kapo which I regret but I am horrified by the anti-Israel sentiments that come out of her mouth.”

Her 22-year-old daughter works in the arts and Dalia thinks this is part of the problem. “Being anti-Israel is an article of faith in her professional circles and if you are dare to stand up for Israel, you are bullied.”

On top of this, she thinks her daughter genuinely believes the lies that are spread about the Jewish state. “When she says Israeli snipers deliberately target Palestinian children, my hair stands on end. I tell her she is talking about our family, about my brothers and her uncles, and ask if she could possibly imagine them doing such a thing. She never replies.”

Alison says she wishes her parents, who were Holocaust survivors, were still alive today. “I think then my children would have a better understanding of antisemitism.”
Joshua Namm: Jewish Pride: Purim vs Hollywood
We’ve all seen actors and actresses, who claim to be against war, not Jews, wear the red hand pins commemorating the brutal, bloody deaths of two Jews.

We heard Jonathan Glazer repugnantly say in 2024 “We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness.”

We’ve watched for decades as Hollywood has made film after film either making light of the Holocaust (“Life Is Beautiful”), disseminates false narratives about non-Jewish ignorance during the Holocaust (“The Boy in The Striped Pajamas”), or removes Jews from the Holocaust entirely (Glazer’s own “Zone of Interest”). When a story is told well as in Steve Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List,” it is a story of non-Jewish heroism, and greatly overshadows far less hyped, but far more inspiring, stories of Jewish heroism, as was the case with “Defiance,” an excellent film which tells the true story of the Bielski brothers.

Held days after the Bibas funeral, the ONLY person on stage this year who even mentioned antisemitism was Adriene Brody, who also sputtered the now obligatory (and meaningless) language about “racism” and “othering.”

In other words, there were no Jewish heroes at the Oscars, only cowards who refused to use that immense platform to display their pride in our people or inspire other Jews with their words. There was not a single show of courage to let younger Jews know that it is ok to publicly say “I’m Jewish, I’m proud, and I don’t give the slightest damn if you have a problem with that.”

Yet there was, and has been for several years, a parade of actors/actresses not only wearing red hand pins, but who also signed letters condemning Israel, and in one case, uber antisemite Guy Pearce, even trotted out the old “the Jews run Hollywood” trope.

If only we applied the “Shushan penalty” to the careers of Jew haters like Pearce and his ilk, which include Billie Eilish, Ramy Youssef, Ava DuVernay, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Lopez, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Angelina Jolie, John Cusack, Viggo Mortenson, Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart, Selena Gomez, Cate Blanchett, Channing Tatum, Brian Cox, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams and many, many, many more.

More revealing, not a single documentary about October 7 was nominated for an award. But, a piece of pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, garbage, at least partially staged and infused with lies, called “No Other Land” won for best documentary. Of course.

Thank G-d, the weak, ghetto minded, assimilationist viewpoint in Hollywood does not dominate Jewish life. Every Jewish life is precious, and equally valuable, so the rest of us must educate those who are afraid to stand up; we must teach them that it is ok, even necessary, to be proud of being Jewish. Divisiveness and in-fighting does more damage than antisemites could ever do, so teach with love, but remember that our ancestors in Shushan, and our brothers and sisters attacked on 10/7, represent the real world, while assimilation and ignorance is, like the “reel world,” a vapid black-hole of nothingness.

Never be afraid. Never give up.
Riverway Law and the line between civilisation and savagery
Well, this nifty little legal stunt has done us all a big favour by drawing a line in the sand. There can be no more hiding in the grey fog of “grievance” and “resistance”. No more chin stroking, pretending you don’t know which side you’re on. No more darkness disguised as light.

There is the side of Western civilisation – messy, flawed, lumbered with some of the most self-serving leaders in its history but built on liberty, equality and the sanctity of life. Or the side of Riverway Law, so far gone, so beyond shame, that it’s happily doing pro bono PR work for a baby kidnapping death cult that filmed its own butchery on 7 October, bragged about it to the world and promised to do it again. The side that views living Jews as unfinished business.

This submission from Hamas’ hired guns, solicitor Farhad Ansari and barristers Franck Magennis and Daniel Grutters, isn’t a legal challenge. It’s a moral one. The most basic moral test a human being can face.

It leaves the apologists of 7 October nowhere to hide — no shadows left to shelter in, no slogans left to parrot. It exposes a worldview at war with every British value. A worldview that the lowlife who rip down posters of stolen Jewish children pretend to tolerate.

No more academic word games. No more nuance or mealy-mouthed social media posts. No more turning up to weekend rallies to bleat “From the river to the sea” and kid yourself it means anything other than Hamas finishing what it started.

Because when the debates are done, when the hashtags fade and when a British law firm draws Hamas’ battle line in the soil of this country, every single one of us is left with a simple choice – with no middle ground left to hide in. Hamas. Or humanity.
Solicitors Regulation Authority reviewing complaint against firm representing Hamas
The case has prompted significant scrutiny, particularly due to Ansari’s social media activity, in which he has expressed support for “Palestinian mujahideen” and described Hamas as a “legitimate resistance movement”.

Last week, shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick wrote to the SRA urging it to investigate whether Riverway had breached regulatory rules or UK sanctions law. In his letter, he cited potential reputational harm to the legal profession and raised concerns about how the case had been publicised. Robert Jenrick

The SRA has not said whether a formal investigation has been launched, but under its principles for professional conduct, solicitors must act with integrity, uphold the rule of law, and maintain public trust in the profession. The regulator also provides specific guidance on working with sanctioned individuals or organisations.

Although UK law does not prevent legal representation for controversial or proscribed clients, solicitors must take care to comply with the sanctions regime and ensure their conduct does not undermine their regulatory duties.

Riverway has defended its actions, stating it took advice from the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation and external counsel before proceeding. In a recent statement, the firm said, “There is an established convention that lawyers shall not be identified with their clients or their clients’ causes as a result of discharging their functions.”


The radicals leading Britain’s teachers’ union
It’s Easter season, and that means it’s time for the annual conference of the National Education Union – the gathering of many of the most destructive forces in education.

It is, of course, a golden rule – an unbreakable rule, indeed – that any hard-left dominated organisation is always obsessed with Israel. The National Education Union (NEU), which has over half a million teacher members and is the largest and most powerful education union in Europe, is no exception.

In the “international” section of its motions document for the conference, which began on Monday in Harrogate, there are no mentions of China, Congo, Cuba, Sudan, Syria, or Yemen. There are 16 mentions of Russia. And there are 20 mentions of Israel – and 33 of Palestine.

Its general secretary is Daniel Kebede, who once had to apologise for saying that people close to the downfall of his hero, Jeremy Corbyn, were being paid “30 pieces of silver” – a classic antisemitic trope. Kebede is the poster boy for the hard Left, and his union champions all its usual causes. The NEU’s website, for example, includes a detailed section on “decolonising the curriculum”, while 13 members of its National Executive signed a statement by the Stop the War Coalition blaming Nato for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Last March, Kebede was one of the leading lights at Palestine Land Day, where he marched alongside Raghad Altikriti, chair of the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), which the then-Communities Secretary, Michael Gove, had described in the Commons just two weeks earlier as being “a cause for concern” under a new government definition of extremism. The MAB, Mr Gove told MPs, was “the British affiliate” of the Muslim Brotherhood.

At another anti-Israel rally last year, Kebede marched with Ismail Patel, who visited Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza and told a rally in 2009: “Hamas is no terrorist organisation... We salute Hamas for standing up to Israel... We are all Hamas.” In 2021, Patel praised the killer of tour guide Eli Kay in Jerusalem as a “martyr”.

And, last year, a picture emerged of Kebede at a conference in Argentina with Saed Erziqat, the head of the Palestinian teachers’ union – who, in a social media post, called October 7 a “bright day”. At last year’s NEU conference, Kebede spoke at a fringe event alongside Anas Altikriti, who has said that hostage-taking is a “very important part” of any “act of resistance” and that Israel is “mimicking” Nazis.

Kebede has also been present at many of the “Free Palestine” marches since the October 7 massacre. He makes no secret of what he wants to see. In 2021, he told a rally: “It’s time to stand together and oppose apartheid, oppose the occupation and fight for Palestinian liberation. Let’s do it for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza – it’s about time we globalise the intifada.” An NEU spokesperson claimed Kebede was simply voicing “an expression of solidarity and support for civic protests”.
Jewish Voices for Trump co-founder joins Department of Education
The U.S. Department of Education announced on Tuesday that it appointed Noah Pollak, the co-founder of Jewish Voices for Trump, to be a senior adviser with the department.

The announcement notes that Pollak spent “several years working as an adviser to conservative organizations and foundations in the education, foreign policy and media spaces, including Parents Defending Education and The Washington Free Beacon.”

U.S. President Donald Trump launched Jewish Voices for Trump as a candidate for office in 2024 with the backing of Pollak; former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman; former special representative for international negotiations Jason Greenblatt; and other conservative cultural and media figures.

“Our cities and campuses are being overrun by Hamas supporters, Israel is being attacked, our border is open, and the Democrats are fine with it,” Pollak wrote at the time. “I am tired of disorder and crime. It is time for strength and confidence. It is time for Trump.”

Under the Trump administration, the Department of Education has been at the forefront of efforts to combat anti-Israel and antisemitic campus protests.

As part of the Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, it froze more than $2.2 billion in contracts intended for Harvard University on Monday, and has previously warned 60 universities that they are potentially failing to protect the civil rights of Jewish students.
Harvard Rejects Deal With Trump Admin, Putting Billions in Federal Funding at Risk
The Trump administration's anti-Semitism task force responded with a scathing statement that announced the freezing of $2.2 billion in grants to Harvard.

"Harvard’s statement today reinforces the troubling entitlement mindset that is endemic in our nation's most prestigious universities and colleges—that federal investment does not come with the responsibility to uphold civil rights laws," the task force said. "The disruption of learning that has plagued campuses in recent years is unacceptable. The harassment of Jewish students is intolerable. It is time for elite universities to take the problem seriously and commit to meaningful change if they wish to continue receiving taxpayer support."

The move sets Harvard on a different course than Columbia University, which agreed, at least in writing, to similar demands from the Trump administration. In Columbia's case, the Trump administration launched a review of $5 billion in federal funding to the school before slashing approximately $430 million in grant money.

Harvard's $53 billion endowment dwarfs that of Columbia’s, which sits at $15 billion. Still, the school has signaled that the suspension of federal funds will have a material impact. "If this funding is stopped, it will halt life-saving research and imperil important scientific research and innovation," Garber said last month. The university also implemented a hiring freeze in response to "substantial financial uncertainties driven by rapidly shifting federal policies."

Harvard agreed to make some changes aimed at curbing anti-Semitism in January, when it settled a lawsuit with a group of Jewish students. Those changes include the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism as well as non-discrimination protections for "Zionists."

Garber's letter does not address the settlement explicitly but does say Harvard has "taken many steps to address antisemitism on our campus" and plans "to do much more." That's not enough for the Trump administration.

"While Harvard's recent actions to curb institutionalized anti-Semitism—though long overdue—are welcome, there is much more that the university must do to retain the privilege of receiving federal taxpayers' hard-earned dollars," one member of the Trump administration's anti-Semitism task force, Josh Gruenbaum, said in a March 31 press release announcing the $9 billion funding review.

"This administration has proven that we will take swift action to hold institutions accountable if they allow anti-Semitism to fester. We will not hesitate to act if Harvard fails to do so."


Mahmoud Khalil, Oday Al Rabay and Double Standards
Hamza Howidy is a Palestinian who managed to escape from Hamas’ rule in Gaza where, as a dissident, he had been imprisoned and tortured by the terror group. He wonders why so much attention is being given worldwide to Mahmoud Khalil, who faces nothing more threatening than possible deportation for supporting Hamas, while Oday Nasser Al Rabay, who was tortured and then murdered by Hamas, is passed over in silence.

More on the pro-Palestinian activists who don’t care to discuss Oday Al Rabay can be found here: “Anti-Hamas protests erupt in Gaza. Where are our pro-Palestine ‘allies’ now? | Opinion,” by Hamza Howidy, USA Today, April 4, 2025:

…Last week’s protests were a watershed moment for Gazans, when so many in Gaza finally understood the true meaning of fake solidarity ‒ that to the Western “pro-Palestine” movement, Palestinians are not seen as real people with real struggles but as tools to be used in their ideological battles.

Not only were the protests ignored by “allies” in the West, but so were the lives of the protesters and all they represent.

Hamas wasted no time in going after the leaders of the protests, threatening, torturing and even killing them. The family of Oday Nasser Al Rabay, 22, says the protester was tortured to death by Hamas simply for demanding a free Gaza ‒ free from Hamas and free from war.

At the same time, another half-dozen dissidents in Gaza were similarly picked up by Hamas and murdered, but they have received even less attention than Oday Al Rabay.
Dems Rally for ‘Non-Violent’ ‘Palestinian’ Columbia Student Who Writes About Collecting Bombs
Now that a judge ruled that Columbia U’s Mahmoud Khalil can be deported, and Momodou Taal who urged taking a cue for Hamas has self-deported, Democrats and the media are swarming to defend another one of these foreign students being shoved to the exit.

Mohsen Mahdawi, also of Columbia U, presumably anticipating his own ‘Shalom’ message, went off to an immigration officie in Vermont in the hopes of getting ‘naturalized’, instead he was asked to leave America.

Democrats are furious.

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen Peter Welch along with Rep. Becca Balint, claimed that booting Mahdawi was “immoral, inhumane and illegal.”

According to his lawyers, Mahdawi, a so-called ‘Palestinian’ is also a “committed Buddhist who believes in “non-violence and empathy as a central tenet of his religion.”

According to reality, Mahdawi told 60 Minutes that he could empathize with the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7. He also wrote a poem celebrating a terrorist that contained the words, “I will breathe home… / And fill my shame / And clean my gun / And collect my packages, my bombs / And embrace my gun…”

This won’t stop Democrats or the media from fighting for him because this is what they support.


Detained Columbia protester threatened and intimidated Jewish students, State Department says
The Palestinian Columbia University student arrested by ICE agents in Vermont led disruptive anti-Israel protests on campus, and engaged in “threatening rhetoric and intimidation” against Jewish students, State Department sources tell The Post.

Mohsen Mahdawi, who hails from the West Bank, was at an interview to obtain his US citizenship on Monday when he was picked up by immigration authorities, his lawyer said.

“Mahdawi, through his leadership and involvement in disruptive protests at Columbia University, has engaged in antisemitic conduct through leading pro-Palestinian protests and calling for Israel’s destruction,” a senior State Department source said.

Many of his social media accounts have been deleted, but a few videos scattered around the internet show him using antisemitic rhetoric and espousing anti-Israel propaganda.

In two separate videos filmed at the Columbia campus, Mahdawi can be heard leading a crowd in a chant of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — which the Anti-Defamation League says is a rallying cry used by organizations like Hamas “calling for the destruction of Israel through violent means.”

He also attempted to portray the Israeli soldiers as engaging in brutality against pregnant women and even babies.

“We see images of premature babies who were pulled out of their mothers’ womb after explosions, leaving the baby and their mothers killed. We see the babies in the blood connected still to their mothers’ womb. That is a shocking image that no human being can see and stay silent. Shame on you, Columbia.”

Jewish leaders at Georgetown University praised the decision to postpone a referendum on university divestment from companies and academic institutions with ties to Israel — originally scheduled to take place during the Passover holiday — as a “step in the right direction,” but expressed that concerns remain about the impact of the vote on Jewish students.

Georgetown University Student Government (GUSA) announced Sunday night on Instagram that the voting window for the non-binding referendum would be changed from April 14-16 to April 26-28. The decision came after pushback from Jewish groups, which were concerned that the vote was originally set to be held during Passover when many students are out of town.

“While this is a step in the right direction, I don’t see this as a win. It’s a small fix in a much bigger problem — one that’s left many students feeling hurt and alienated,” Rabbi Menachem Shemtov, who leads Georgetown Chabad, told Jewish Insider.

Shemtov said that while he’s glad the vote was moved — adding that, “actually, I think many believe that such a vote shouldn’t be scheduled at all” — the postponement “doesn’t undo the deeper issue,” he said.

GUSA bypassed its standard protocols to bring forth the referendum. Sixteen of the 28 members of the GUSA voted in favor of a resolution to put the divestment question before the undergraduate student body. The initial vote, held last week, was done in secret and without the approval of the senate’s Policy and Advocacy Committee — breaking from typical procedure, the university’s student newspaper, The Hoya, reported. The referendum will require at least 25% turnout and a simple majority of voters in favor to pass.

Georgetown holds investments in companies including Google’s holding company Alphabet and Amazon, both of which have provided technology to the Israel Defense Forces.

“This vote still singles out Israel in a way that feels unfair, and the fact that it was pushed forward by skipping normal procedures only makes it worse,” Shemtov said. “It’s hard not to feel like there was an effort to sideline Jewish voices, or at least not take them seriously. It’s also hard to see how such a resolution brings us closer to peace. On the contrary, it actually deepens the divide amongst students and causes more friction on campus.”

Furthermore, GUSA did not postpone a vote for student government senators, which will proceed this week during the holiday.

“That inadvertently singles out Jewish student groups for favoritism or bias as some are claiming, which is not the case,” Rabbi Ilana Zietman, Georgetown’s director of Jewish life, told JI. “Jewish students would have been happier with postponing all student government matters until after the holiday,” she said.

French ministers decry Nanterre graffiti calling for Jewish union 'out of our universities'
French ministers decried graffiti at University Paris Nanterre calling for a Jewish students' union to be ousted from universities on Thursday, promising the action would not go unanswered.

"UEJF (Union of Jewish Students of France) out of our universities," read graffiti scrawled on the street, shared in a picture on X Thursday by the national French union. "Zionists equals fascists.”

The union said that the graffiti was a crude form of antisemitism and would continue to represent Jewish students against anti-Jewish hatred.

"To those who dream of universities without Jews: We will not leave," said UEJF.

The graffiti was removed by the university within a few hours, UEJF said on Friday. The university had also filed a police complaint, according to National Education Minister Elisabeth Borne, who on Thursday called for the punishment of the perpetrators.

"Antisemitism is a crime," Borne said on social media. "The graffiti targeting Jewish students on the Nanterre University campus is intolerable."

Higher Education Minister Philippe Baptiste echoed Borne, also decrying the graffiti as antisemitism.


News24 opinionista attacks local ‘Zionists’
Local academic, Oscar van Heerden, has made it clear in his regular opinion pieces on News24 that he wants Israel and its population to be obliterated, he doesn’t want peace in the Middle East, and he supports terrorism. News24 is South Africa’s most popular online news source.

South Africa, according to his most recent piece on 24 March, isn’t “fighting the Americans here [in South Africa’s declining relationship with the United States]. No, we are, in fact, fighting the Zionists both abroad and domestically. Their proxies are the White House, the United States Congress, some local political parties, the [South African] Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) through their chief rabbi [in fact the two are separate entities], among many others.”

Regardless, News24 continues to publish his extremist pieces on a regular basis. Van Heerden is a senior research fellow for African diplomacy and leadership at the University of Johannesburg.

He regularly employs classic antisemitic tropes that Israel, Zionists, and Jews are controlling the world, have global proxies, and act against the well-being of society.

David Saks, representing the SAJBD, says, “In attacking the representative Jewish leadership in such inflammatory and defamatory terms, Van Heerden engages in clear-cut incitement to hatred against the broader Jewish community. His articles are replete with toxic antisemitic stereotypes, including that Jews are disloyal to their host countries, and that in pursuit of their own ‘selfish’ and ‘immoral’ ends, they use excessive power behind the scenes to undermine the common good.”

Van Heerden says “the Zionists” have “decided it is time to teach South Africa a lesson they will never forget. Sanctions, executive orders, removal from preferential trade agreements, and so much more to come. According to Trump and the Zionists, South Africa is now fair game. Our collective brains trust is needed to outsmart this Zionist fox.” He also calls Israel a “regional ogre”.

Saks says that “typical of Jew haters through the ages, Van Heerden portrays Jews as an unwelcome element in society, people who everyone else needs to distrust and shun. His ‘us’ and ‘them’ language serves to further ‘other’ the community, portraying it as not being part of the broader South African population, and as being alien, hostile, and harmful. This is most notable in the comment, that ‘we are fighting the Zionists both abroad and domestically’.”


Maldives bans Israeli passport holders amid Gaza conflict
The Maldives has officially barred Israeli passport holders from entering the country, citing solidarity with Palestinians amid the Jewish state’s war against Hamas in Gaza initiated by the terrorist group’s murder-and-kidnapping spree in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Its president, Mohamed Muizzu, signed the measure into law following its approval by parliament on Tuesday. According to the President’s Office, the decision reflects the Indian Ocean nation’s condemnation of what it describes as Israel’s “ongoing atrocities” against the Palestinian people.

The amended Immigration Act blocks entry for Israeli passport holders, though dual nationals may still visit using non-Israeli documents.

This move follows a 2024 Cabinet proposal and comes amid mounting domestic pressure for a stronger stance on the conflict. In 2023, more than 11,000 Israelis visited the Maldives, but arrivals dropped sharply in early 2024.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry has since advised citizens, regardless of secondary nationality, to avoid travel to the Maldives and recommended that Israelis in the country consider leaving due to limited consular support.

Muizzu also announced plans to appoint a special envoy to evaluate humanitarian needs in the Palestinian territories and to launch a national fundraising campaign under the banner “Maldivians in Solidarity with Palestine.”

The Maldives, whose population of 530,000 is more than 98% Muslim, previously lifted a ban on Israeli tourists in the 1990s and briefly explored normalization of relations in 2010, though diplomatic efforts stalled in 2012.

Since the adoption of the 2008 constitution, citizens and anyone wishing to become citizens are required by law to nominally follow Sunni Islam.


Jordan foils Muslim Brotherhood plot to stage attacks in kingdom
Jordan has arrested 16 members of the Muslim Brotherhood who were trained and financed in Lebanon and had plotted attacks on targets inside the kingdom involving rockets and drones, authorities said on Tuesday.

Jordanian authorities said at least one rocket was ready to be launched as part of an operation that had been under surveillance by security forces since 2021.

The Muslim Brotherhood, one of the Arab world's oldest and most influential Islamist movements, in a statement sent to Reuters denied any links to the alleged plot, said the group had always pursued a peaceful political course and that Jordan's branch of the Brotherhood had operated legally for decades.

The movement's political arm in Jordan the Islamic Action Front became the largest political grouping in the parliament after last September's parliamentary elections, although most seats are still held by government supporters.

Security forces found a rocket manufacturing facility alongside a drone factory, according to a statement by the General Intelligence Department released on state media.

"The plot aimed at harming national security, sowing chaos and causing material destruction inside the kingdom," the statement said.

The suspects were referred to the state security court for trial.

"We are talking about new tactics, rockets and drones. This means a complete change in the way the Muslim Brotherhood are dealing with Jordan and targeting its security," Amer Al Sabaileh, a prominent security analyst, told Reuters.


US hostage envoy ‘very disappointed’ in Iraqi PM for failure to free Israeli Elizabeth Tsurkov
US President Donald Trump’s hostage envoy Adam Boehler says he is “very disappointed” in Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani for failing to advance the release of Israeli-Russian researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was kidnapped in Iraq two years ago.

“Iraq is a tough country to run,” he writes on X. “That said, I am very disappointed in the Prime Minister who, so far, seems more interested in words than actions. I hope this changes IMMEDIATELY and we can bring Princeton Student Elizabeth Tsurkov home from the hands of Kata’ib Hezbollah.”

Last month, three sources familiar with the matter said Boehler had traveled to Iraq to push for Tsurkov’s release.

“The Trump Administration has done more in just a few weeks than the previous administration did in almost two years,” Emma Tsurkov, Elizabeth’s sister, told Reuters in March.


50% of ballistic missiles fired by Yemen since resumption of Gaza fighting, failed
Around 50% of ballistic missiles launches by the Houthi terror group in Yemen since the resumption of fighting in the Gaza Strip have failed, according to Israeli officials who spoke with N12 on Monday.

According to sources, the low number of sirens that have been activated in Israel by Houthi missiles is due to technical difficulties in the failed missiles as well as the American THAAD system and Israel’s Arrow 3 system.

Officials noted ongoing and close cooperation between Israel, the United States, and additional partner countries, which has played a critical role in intercepting Houthi projectiles and countering other regional threats.

On Sunday, sirens were activated across central Israel – from Jerusalem to the Tel Aviv areas – following the launch of a ballistic missile from Yemen. According to the IDF, the missile was successfully intercepted outside of Israeli territory. The IDF stated that alerts were activated in accordance with policy, and that the launch involved a single missile. Some fragments of the missile were found in Hebron in the West Bank, south of Jerusalem.

In recent weeks, the US has continued airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. Several missile launch attempts by the Houthis toward Israel were recorded during this period. Sunday’s launch occurred as the US and Iran, a known ally of the Houthis, engaged in indirect discussions over Iran’s nuclear program.
Hizbullah Received War Clean-Up Contracts from Lebanese Government
The Dahiyeh Union of Municipalities, the municipal body for Beirut's southern suburbs, the traditional heartland of Hizbullah that was targeted by Israel during the recent fighting, has been allocated millions of dollars in public funds to oversee and contract damage appraisals and rubble removal. The Dahiyeh Union works under the purview of Hizbullah's political leadership, according to Mohanad Hage Ali, deputy director of research at the Carnegie Center in Beirut.

Hizbullah's opponents worry that giving a role in the reconstruction process to the group could allow it to retain political leverage and channel government funds to its base following its worst ever defeat last year. Hizbullah's role in reconstruction following its 2006 war with Israel was vital to helping it shore up its power.
Report: New South African Envoy to U.S. Has Ties to Iran
Jonas’s ties to Iran could become an obstacle to relations with the U.S., given that the Trump administration is currently pressuring Iran to agree to give up its nuclear program, or face possible attack as a consequence.

On the positive side, Jonas is regarded in South Africa as a rare voice against corruption. As deputy finance minister, he resisted attempts at bribery and later testified about how one family, the Guptas, managed to assume control of key appointments and contracts in former President Jacob Zuma’s administration for the benefit of their own transnational industrial empire — a scandal known in South Africa as “state capture.”

Update: The MTN connection could prove even more controversial for Jonas’s appointment, as a federal court allowed a lawsuit to proceed on Tueasday against the company regarding allegations that it aided and abetted the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Iraq, where the group — regarded by the U.S. as a terror organization — was involved in attacks on U.S. troops and civilian military contractors.


Israeli scientists develop first-ever blood test for early detection of Parkinson’s
Israeli researchers say they have developed a blood test that can accurately tell whether someone might be developing Parkinson’s – even before they have symptoms.

“This discovery is a big step forward in how we understand and detect Parkinson’s,” said lead scientist Prof. Hermona Soreq of The Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences and The Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences at the Hebrew University.

The scientists took a novel approach by analyzing transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) – traditionally overlooked in Parkinson’s research – to detect the disease in its earliest stages.

The disease is often diagnosed only after significant brain damage has occurred, “when there’s no use in developing therapeutics,” Soreq told The Times of Israel by telephone. “We now have a simple, minimally invasive blood test, so if we catch the disease at a much earlier stage, then there is hope.”

PhD student Nimrod Madrer worked on the study under Soreq’s supervision with Dr. Iddo Paldor from the Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Dr. Eyal Soreq from the University of Surrey and the Imperial College London, who is also Soreq’s son.
Jewish star of Inglourious Basterds cast in new series of Fauda
French actress and filmmaker Mélanie Laurent will join the cast of the upcoming fifth season of Fauda, the acclaimed Israeli television series portraying an undercover unit fighting Palestinian terrorism, Ynet reported on Monday.

Laurent became renowned worldwide for her role as Shoshanna Dreyfus, a young Jewish Parisian seeking revenge on the Nazis, in Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 blockbuster Inglourious Basterds – a role the director himself described as the “Jewish Joan of Arc”.

While details on her new role remain under wraps, the actress, who is Jewish, is expected to feature in seven of the nine episodes, set to come out next year.

Laurent has previously collaborated with Fauda creator and lead star Lior Raz on Netflix’s action films 6 Underground and Operation Finale, the latter of which documented the capture of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Argentina. She was spotted visiting Israel in November 2024, which may have been connected to her upcoming role.
Downing Street marks 80th anniversary of Bergen-Belsen liberation with video collection of survivors’ testimony
The prime minister has marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen by British soldiers by sharing a video compiling the testimony of the camp’s survivors and those who freed them.

Sir Keir Starmer shared the compilation to his X profile featuring Mervyn Kersh and Stanley Fisher, who participated in the liberation, and Renee Salt, who was held at the camp.

Thousands of dead bodies were found by British forces along with 55,000 survivors without food, water or sanitation.

Fisher, who is Jewish, said that what he saw at the camp gave him “nightmares for quite a few years”, describing the sight of starving survivors resembling “human skeletons”. “I think you could say you could smell death”, he added.

“What human beings could do to human beings. Unbelievable”, he went on, reflecting on the horrors inflicted by the Nazis on those held at the camp.

His words were also shared by the Ministry of Defence on social media: “My fellow Jews were slaughtered for no reason other than they were Jewish, and that hurt.”

Likewise, Kersh recalled the sight of those few survivors fit enough to walk as “shocking”.And Salt described collapsing moments before the camp’s liberation as a result of the terrible conditions the now 95-year-old had to endure: “I didn’t know anything, I was unconscious at the liberation.”

“I suffered from the cold more than the hunger if that’s possible”, she added.


101-year-old WWII veteran recalls US Army’s seder night, weeks before liberating Dachau
Eighty years ago, American Jewish twin brothers, Hilbert and Howard Margol, had a face-to-face confrontation with precisely this sort of evil when they and their fellow members of the 42nd Infantry Division liberated the Dachau concentration camp. A few weeks beforehand, the division entered Germany, and the Margol brothers participated in an unusual seder—with the Haggadah’s apt reminder that, “In every generation there are those who stand against us [Jews] to eliminate us.”

Howard is no longer alive, but Hilbert, now one-hundred-and-one, speaks with Benjamin Mack-Johnson about the experience:
The 42nd Infantry Division was commanded by Major General Harry J. Collins, a highly decorated and respected U.S. Army officer. He was also committed to tackling anti-Semitism within his ranks, working directly with the division’s Jewish chaplain—Rabbi Eli Bohnen—to ensure his Jewish soldiers were taken care of. . . . As the 42nd Infantry Division began its two-day rest period in [the German city of] Dahn, Bohnen informed General Collins that the next evening would be the first night of Passover and that he wanted to put together a seder.

Collins agreed, but Bohnen was faced with a problem: he had only one Haggadah for some 800 soldiers:
“They found a mimeograph machine, but it was dirty and dusty, so then they went looking for rags to try and clean it,” Margol recalled. “All they could find were two Nazi flags. That’s what they used to clean the mimeograph machine that ended up printing 800 copies of that prayer book.”

The 42nd Infantry Division’s “Rainbow Haggadah” is believed to be the first Haggadah printing in Germany since the Nazis took power in 1933. Few copies survive today. Before the traditional Hebrew text, Collins inserted a message to the Jewish soldiers under his command.

“The celebration of Passover should have unusual significance for you at this time, for like your ancestors of old, you too are now engaged in a battle for freedom against a modern Pharaoh,” he proclaimed. “This Pharaoh has sought not only to enslave your people but to make slaves of the whole world. God grant that victory for us will make it possible for you to celebrate the next Passover with your loved ones at home, in a world you helped make free.”


Tens of thousands flock to Western Wall as ex-hostage Eliya Cohen says priestly blessing
For Sigalit Cohen, mother of former hostage Eliya Cohen, attending the Birkat Cohanim (Priestly Blessing) ceremony at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Tuesday felt like coming full circle.

“Twice over the past year, we stood here while Eliya was still trapped in a tunnel,” she told The Times of Israel. “Today, he’s here, reciting the priestly blessing and bestowing it upon the entire people. It’s the most moving experience imaginable. I’ve waited so long for this moment.”

Sigalit spoke to the Times of Israel on the rooftop of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation’s building as Eliya took part in the ceremony in the plaza below, surrounded by a sea of worshippers.

“May God bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord lift up His face to you and give you peace,” Eliya chanted, standing next to his father Maimon, his voice joining that of hundreds of fellow male descendants of the ancient priestly line.

Wrapped in white prayer shawls, the Cohanim (priests in Hebrew) blessed the people of Israel with the same words God commanded the first priests to use according to the Bible (Numbers, 6:22–26).

According to Jewish tradition, the priesthood was granted by God to Moses’ brother Aaron and his sons after the Exodus from Egypt. To this day, thousands of Jewish families across the world are believed to be their descendants, and the men are invited to recite the priestly blessing as part of the liturgy for holidays or Shabbat prayers. Often, their family names hint at this heritage. Sigalit Cohen, mother of former hostage Eliya Cohen, as she attends the Priestly Blessing Ceremony at the Western Wall on April 15, 2025.

Before the Hamas onslaught on October 7, 2023, Sigalit said, her family rarely joined the collective ceremony at the Western Wall, which was introduced in the 1970s and has become a beloved tradition of the holidays of Passover and Sukkot.

“We felt deeply connected to it, but since it was always very crowded, it was difficult for us to attend,” Sigalit recalled. “Since Eliya was kidnapped, we felt the need to be closer to the schina [divine presence] and the Western Wall.”
