11/26 Links Pt1: Body of hostage Dror Or returned to Israel; Does it matter that they’re lying about Israel?; Minister Strock: ‘Time to end the Oslo illusion’

From Ian:

Jonathan Tobin: Does it matter that they’re lying about Israel?
A curious thing happened last week in Israel. More than 100 military officers from 20 countries attended an international conference hosted by the Israel Defense Forces. Among them were representatives from countries that had falsely accused the Jewish state of committing war crimes, deliberate starvation or even genocide in Gaza during the war with Hamas that followed the Palestinian terrorist attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

While there, they visited the sites of the Oct. 7 massacres and attended briefings about the challenges presented by urban warfare as well as discussions of how the IDF used AI, drones, artillery and medical services for the wounded.

Some nations, like the United Kingdom, whose left-wing government continues in its vitriolic demonization of the Jewish state and has passively accepted the growing mainstreaming of antisemitism in British society, boycotted the event. But others who were just as vociferous in backing up the claims that what Israel had done in Gaza was uniquely awful, such as France and Canada, showed up alongside representatives from friendlier countries like the United States, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

They were accompanied by officers from Germany, Finland, India, Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Austria, Estonia, Japan, Morocco, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia. Many have either joined in the international community’s Israel-bashing, recognized “Palestine” as an independent, albeit still non-existent, country or chose not to stand with Israel during the past two years as it fought for its life against genocidal Islamist terrorists.

They don’t really believe the lies
That Israel has much to teach the world about the use of high-tech and intelligence in warfare, added to its expertise in avoiding civilian casualties and how to deal with emergencies, is nothing new. The Israelis have been sharing their knowledge in these and other topics with other nations for decades. So, in that sense, the military conference wasn’t all that newsworthy.

But it matters because it shows that many of those countries that tacitly or openly endorsed the blood libels against Israel during the course of the war that, at least temporarily, concluded with the ceasefire-hostage release deal brokered by the United States in October, don’t really believe the accusations. If they did, they wouldn’t have been there or subsequently, members of their delegations would have spoken about alleged links between Israeli military tactics and the claims of mass murder.
‘Wrong from the very beginning,’ Hungarian minister says of EU Israel policy
Europe has shifted on Israel. Since Oct. 7, 12 European countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Spain, have recognized a Palestinian state and now routinely vote against the Jewish state at the United Nations.

One country bucking that European trend is Hungary, which joins the United States and Argentina as among the only countries to vote with Israel consistently at the United Nations. Hungary is also deemed sufficiently safe for Jewish and Israeli institutions that it now hosts many of the Israeli national soccer team’s home games, even as one Israeli club has been banned from playing in the United Kingdom.

JNS sat down on Nov. 21 with János Bóka, the Hungarian minister for European affairs and its prime ministerial envoy to combat antisemitism, to discuss what sets his country apart.

“I believe that the European position has been wrong from the very beginning,” Bóka told JNS, of the bloc’s position on Israel. “This short sighted approach has tremendously contributed to the European Union being sidelined in the Middle East peace process in general.”

“It’s not a coincidence that the European Union is not at the table where things are decided. It’s not a coincidence that the European Union is not able to influence the political agenda anymore in the Middle East,” he said.

“This is a natural consequence of the wrong policy choices that were made,” he added. “We don’t want to contribute to further wrong choices being made on behalf of the European Union.”
Patel praises Netanyahu after ‘great meeting’ on Israel visit
Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel has met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for discussions designed to portray the Conservative Party as a friend and ally of the Jewish state.

Photographed alongside the Israeli PM, Patel wrote on X:”A great meeting with my friend Benjamin Netanyahu and a discussion about how we must stand together to fight for the freedoms and values our countries are founded on.

“Israel is a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East and our friend and ally. ”

In a follow-up video posted on social media, Patel, a strong supporter of the Conservative Friends of Israel organisation, stressed the long-standing history of information sharing between the UK and Israel, especially in security, defense, and trade, adding, “It’s in Britain’s interests to strengthen this relationship.”

Meeting with survivors, hostages, and their families from the October 7 attack during her visit, Patel also said:”Since these horrific terrorist attacks, Israel has seen prolonged attacks from Iranian-backed Hamas-Hezbollah and the Houthis.

“These are groups that oppose the values that we hold, democracy, freedom, and the right to expression.

“Their actions have brought immense suffering to countless people.

“We hope the 20-point police plan will lay the foundations for sustained peace in the region.

“But of course, this can only work if allies, including the United Kingdom, come together to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, to eliminate Hamas, and to tackle the ongoing threats from Iran to deliver much-needed peace and stability.”


Body of hostage Dror Or returned to Israel
Israel has confirmed that the body of Dror Or, the Be’eri father murdered on 7 October 2023 and taken into Gaza, was returned to the country on Tuesday evening – exactly two years after two of his children were freed from Hamas captivity.

Authorities said the remains were transferred by Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas to the Red Cross before being handed to the IDF. Identification was completed overnight at the Abu Kabir forensic institute and the family formally notified early Wednesday.

Or, 48, was killed when terrorists stormed Kibbutz Be’eri, murdering his wife Yonat and abducting their younger children, Noam and Alma, who were released alive during the November 2023 ceasefire. Their eldest son, Yahli, was not at home at the time of the massacre.

The Prime Minister’s Office said the government “shares in the deep sorrow of the Or family,” adding that Israel “remains determined and committed to securing the return of the remaining slain hostages for burial.” Only two bodies are still held in Gaza: police officer Master Sgt Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak.

Kibbutz Be’eri said Or’s return marked the deeply symbolic moment when “for the first time since 7 October, there are no hostages from Kibbutz Be’eri in captivity.” The community described him as a “devoted father of three… and a loving husband to the late Yonat.”

Born in nearby Kibbutz Re’im Or trained as a chef after attending the Tadmor Culinary School and later became a central figure in Be’eri’s renowned dairy. Friends and colleagues remembered him as a gifted cheesemaker with “a golden touch” and a passion for the craft he studied in Italy and France.


‘Time to end the Oslo illusion’: Minister Strock says Israel must scrap PA security apparatus
In a forceful and wide-ranging interview, National Missions Minister and Security Cabinet member Orit Strock argued that Israel must fundamentally overhaul its policy toward the Palestinian Authority, dismantle its armed security mechanisms, and revert to what she described as the “far safer, pre-Oslo model” of Israeli civil and security control in the West Bank.

During a recorded conversation, Strock contended that the PA has, for decades, engaged in “political and legal warfare” against Israel, while simultaneously cultivating an education system and security apparatus she says are steeped in incitement, hostility, and operational collaboration with terror groups.

“The State of Israel should have changed its attitude toward the Palestinian Authority a long, long time ago,” Strock said. “From the moment they set foot here, it was possible to see where they were heading.”

She pointed to the Palestinian legislation that mandates monthly stipends for Palestinians imprisoned or killed in attacks against Israelis – what critics call a “pay-for-slay” policy. Strock compared the law to discriminatory legislation of the 20th century, describing it as “the most openly antisemitic legal structure since the Nuremberg Laws.”

“That alone should have made it clear we were dealing with an enemy, not a partner for peace,” she said.

Strock reserved some of her sharpest criticism for the PA security forces, which Western governments – including the US – have long supported as a stabilizing partner. According to her, Israel has recently intercepted multiple terror cells composed entirely of PA security personnel, including one exposed last weekend. She argued that such cases are no longer anomalies but signs of a systemic shift.

“These are people with access to weapons, to sensitive areas near Israeli communities, and to advanced training – sometimes abroad,” she said, claiming that their training programs often emphasize combat scenarios against Israeli soldiers and civilians rather than counterterrorism skills.
Israel poised for Muslim Brotherhood ban as Netanyahu aligns with US effort
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, buoyed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s move to ban Muslim Brotherhood chapters in the United States, has announced his intention to do the same in Israel.

“This is an organization that endangers stability throughout the Middle East and beyond the Middle East as well,” Netanyahu said on Sunday. “Therefore, the State of Israel has already outlawed part of the organization, and we are working to complete this action soon.”

By “part of the organization,” Netanyahu referred to the Israeli Security Cabinet’s November 2015 ban of the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement. Led by Sheikh Raed Salah, the faction rejects Israel’s right to exist, seeks to replace Israel with an Islamic caliphate and does not recognize its governing institutions.

The Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel was left untouched by that ban. It takes a more practical approach, recognizes the State of Israel and participates in its politics.

The Southern Branch is represented in the Knesset by the United Arab List, or Ra’am, an Islamist party that helped form the “Change Government” led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid in 2021.

Ra’am’s platform calls for a Palestinian State with Jerusalem as its capital, the dismantling of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria and the “right of return” of Palestinian Arab refugees, a move all sides of the Israeli political spectrum agree would spell the demographic demise of the Jewish state.

In 2009 and 2019, the Knesset Central Elections Committee banned Ra’am from running due to its extremism, only to have the rulings reversed by the Israeli Supreme Court.
Republican Senators File Immigration Bill Barring Hamas Supporters from U.S. Entry
A coalition of nine Republican senators introduced legislation on November 26, 2025, aimed at closing what they describe as dangerous loopholes in U.S. immigration law that currently allow supporters of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other designated terrorist organizations to enter the country.

The Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act, led by Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Ted Budd (R-NC), would expand existing restrictions to explicitly bar anyone who publicly endorses terrorist activities from obtaining visas or admission to the United States.

Legislative Details and Scope
The bill builds upon current provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) that already prohibit officers, officials, representatives, or spokesmen of the Palestine Liberation Organization from receiving U.S. visas. The proposed expansion would extend these restrictions to include members and public endorsers of Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Palestine Islamic Jihad, and any successor or affiliate groups.

According to the senators, the legislation responds directly to what they characterize as an alarming increase in pro-Hamas rhetoric across the United States following the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks in Israel, particularly among international students and other foreign nationals present on visas.

Senator Cassidy framed the measure as addressing conduct beyond constitutional protections. “Freedom of speech does not protect terrorism and calls to terror,” he stated.

Current Enforcement Context
The bill arrives as the Trump administration has already taken executive action on this front, revoking visas of individuals who engaged in pro-Hamas advocacy and implementing stricter vetting procedures for visa applicants. The proposed legislation would codify these enforcement priorities into permanent statutory law, making them less vulnerable to changes in administrative policy across different presidencies.

The senators argue that existing immigration law contains ambiguous language that has allowed individuals who publicly support terrorist organizations to enter or remain in the United States. By explicitly naming specific terrorist groups and defining public endorsement as grounds for inadmissibility, the legislation aims to provide immigration officials with clearer authority to deny entry or revoke existing visas.
Hadassah Leads Coalition Demanding UN Accountability for Hamas Sexual Violence
Crisis of Global Denial
The organizations expressed alarm over persistent denial of Hamas’s weaponization of sexual violence during the October 7, 2023, massacre and against hostages held in captivity. Coalition leaders warned that this widespread dismissal sends a dangerous signal to terrorist organizations worldwide that rape and kidnapping can be deployed without consequence.

The urgency intensified after UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls Reem Alsalem rejected the legitimacy of the UN’s own investigation into Hamas’s sexual violence crimes earlier this month. This rejection came despite the international body’s documentation of record-level conflict-related sexual violence for two consecutive years.

Demanding Follow-Through
Addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict Pramila Patten, and UN Women Executive Director Sima Sami Bahous, the coalition’s letter acknowledges the UN’s initial blacklisting of Hamas as a party credibly suspected of sexual violence. However, the groups argue this first step remains insufficient without enforcement mechanisms.

The coalition specifically calls for Hamas to be blacklisted again in the appendix of the forthcoming 2025 Report of the Secretary-General on Conflict-Related Violence, explicitly citing ongoing sexual violence against hostages. Additionally, the letter advocates for development of an international protocol based on survivor-centered frameworks to guide prevention, investigation, and response to conflict-related sexual violence.

Cross-Community Call for Action
“The rise of conflict-related sexual violence is a crisis of global proportions,” stated Carol Ann Schwartz, National President of Hadassah. “We call on the UN to ensure that justice and accountability are not optional.”

The coalition includes diverse voices from Jewish, Muslim, and interfaith women’s organizations, demonstrating broad consensus on accountability needs. Anila Ali, President of the American Muslim and Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council, emphasized: “Now the UN must follow through with decisive measures that hold all perpetrators accountable and deliver justice for survivors, both in Israel and around the globe.”


Bill would pause federal funding to state, local govts enforcing ICC warrants against US allies
Sen. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) introduced legislation on Monday that would pause federal funding to any state or local government attempting to enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against a U.S. ally.

The American Allies Protection Act states that any attempt to enforce an ICC warrant against a NATO ally or a major non-NATO ally would result in the U.S. Department of Justice barring any grants to the state or locality in question for four years.

The bill is in response to arrest warrants issued by the ICC in November 2024 against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect of New York City, has repeatedly said he would order Netanyahu’s arrest if he visited the city.

Budd stated that Mamdani’s claim is “ridiculous” and “a grave threat that could seriously damage America’s relationship with our closest allies and partners.”

“Seeking to prevent Prime Minister Netanyahu from setting foot in New York, home to the United Nations, would put Israel at a unique disadvantage at a critical time for the nation ahead of the next meeting of the U.N. General Assembly,” Budd said.

“It is unconscionable that the man elected to lead the city home to the largest Jewish population outside of Israel would seek to target Israel’s leader, and Congress must take action to hold any leader accountable should they pursue this blatant overreach,” he stated.


Discussion on deployment of foreign troops ongoing, two sources tell 'Post'
Discussions on establishing the International Stabilization Force (ISF), slated to deploy to Gaza, are ongoing, two sources familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.

Talks are taking place both at the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Kiryat Gat and through direct contacts among the countries involved in the project. At this stage, the sources said, a significant number of key issues remain unresolved.

These include the force’s mandate, its precise mission, the chain of command, and the force's structure. Another issue yet to be decided is where, at the first stage, the forces will be deployed, inside the Hamas area or the areas controlled by the IDF.

“In practice, nothing has been finalized,” one official told the Post. The issue of the rules of engagement, including guidelines on the use of live fire, also remains unsettled.

As a result, no country has yet formally committed to joining the force. “Some states have expressed interest, but the first official ‘yes’ has not yet been given,” a source said.

IDF starts building new city for Gazans in eastern Rafah
The US administration hopes the force will begin operating in early 2026, but at present, it appears the launch may be delayed.

Meanwhile, the IDF has begun development work to build a new city for Gazans in eastern Rafah, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's declaration that Gaza will not be rebuilt until all hostages are returned and Hamas is fully disarmed.

According to an i24NEWS report, the IDF has started preliminary preparations for the construction of the city, intended for Gazans unaffiliated with Hamas, in an Israeli-controlled area of eastern Rafah. The project has been nicknamed “Green Rafah.” Work on the site is expected to accelerate significantly next week.


Terrorist throws explosive towards IDF near Jenin during counterterrorism operation
A terrorist threw explosives towards IDF soldiers conducting a counterterrorism operation in the Kabatiya area, near Jenin in the northern West Bank, on Wednesday, the military confirmed.

The soldiers responded by opening fire on the terrorist, killing him.

After the incident, the IDF soldiers searched the terrorist's vehicle and found several additional explosives, which the soldiers then disabled and dismantled, the military added.

The IDF is mobilizing additional soldiers to the area around Tubas, in the northern West Bank, as part of ongoing counterterrorism operations, the military's Central Command added later on Wednesday night.

IDF, Shin Bet, Border Police conducting ongoing counterterrorism operations in West Bank
The IDF, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), and Border Police officers began conducting a “broad counterterrorism operation” in the northern West Bank, a joint IDF-Shin Bet statement said on Wednesday morning.

“The IDF and Shin Bet will not allow terrorism to take root in the area and are acting proactively to thwart it,” the agencies stated.


IDF kills six Palestinian terrorists in Gaza
Israel Defense Forces troops killed a Hamas terrorist, who was planning to carry out an “imminent sniper attack” against troops in northern Gaza, on Wednesday, the Israeli military said.

The previous day, the Israeli military said that it killed five members of a terror cell who likely came out of underground tunnels, it said.

“IDF troops in the Southern Command remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat,” the IDF said.

On Wednesday morning, the IDF identified six more terrorists, who likely emerged from tunnels in the area, and struck the group as it tried to flee. One target was killed, the military said.

Jerusalem has reportedly faced U.S. pressure not to eliminate dozens of terrorists holed up inside the Rafah tunnel network, which falls within IDF-controlled territory under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

On Monday, the IDF said that it killed two Gazan terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line and approached Israeli troops in northern Gaza. The boundary marks Gaza territory that remains under Israeli control following last month’s truce between Jerusalem and Hamas.

Earlier in the day, the Israeli Air Force said it struck three terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line and approached IDF soldiers in southern Gaza. “Hits were identified,” the military said.


J-TV: IDF Female Officer “I’m Coming Out With EVERYTHING That Happened To Me…”
On October 7, 2023, then-27-year-old Shani Aharon - a former combat infantry officer - was called up at 8:00 a.m. and sent straight to southern Israel. She quickly found herself leading search-and-rescue missions on the front lines in Gaza and later along Israel’s northern border, all while dealing with the deaths of close friends and commanders. In total, Shani completed more than 230 days of reserve duty as a special operations officer, playing a key role in protecting Israel’s northern and southern frontiers. Shani grew up in Rishon LeZion in central Israel in an Indian-Yemenite Jewish family. She is deeply committed to strengthening Jewish identity and advocating for Israel. This is her October 7th story.

Erin Molan: Ex–Israeli Intel Officer on Candace Owens’ ‘French-Israel Plot’ Claim — EXPOSES The Bigger War
Ex–Israeli intelligence officer Dan Feferman joins Erin Molan to respond to Candace Owens’ latest claim that Israel and France's Emmanuel Macron are “after her” — and to map out the real networks shaping the West right now.

From the Muslim Brotherhood’s decades-long infiltration of universities and media… to bot farms, disinformation pipelines and foreign influence campaigns… to a major new lawsuit accusing Binance of facilitating massive terror financing — this episode hits every level of the shadow war unfolding behind the headlines.

Erin also speaks with Rabbi Marc Schneier — global leader in Muslim-Jewish relations and son of the rabbi at Park East Synagogue — who recounts his candid call with New York “mayor-elect” Zohran Mamdani after the protest outside his father’s synagogue. Schneier reveals what he told Mamdani about his “half-baked” condemnation, his misunderstanding of mainstream Muslims, and the bill he urged Mamdani to pursue.

Then attorney Michael Radine breaks down his new lawsuit targeting Binance and its founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, alleging they knowingly enabled Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRGC to move hundreds of millions through the platform — even after October 7. (These are allegations in an ongoing lawsuit. Binance denies knowingly facilitating terrorism financing and states it complies with sanctions and anti-money-laundering laws.)

Anti-Israel vandal allowed to ‘walk free’
Sky News host Sharri Markson discusses a Sydney anti-Israel vandal who has been allowed to “walk free”.

“It sends a message that the court is tolerating this hate, this vandalism, this destruction on our streets,” Ms Markson said.

“What matters is that he committed crimes that had a profound impact on Australians … undermining public safety, jeopardising lives and sowing fear and anxiety.

“Serious crimes were committed, and thus there should be a serious punishment.”


Palestine Action activist denies bludgeoning UK policewoman
An activist for the Palestine Action terrorist group was filmed bludgeoning a police officer so hard that she is still severely disabled nearly four months after the incident, prosecutors revealed on Monday.

The officer, Sgt. Kate Evans, was left unable to drive, shower or dress herself after the Aug. 6 beating by one of six Palestine Action activists who broke into the Elbit Systems factory near Bristol, according to the indictments against the activists, who went on trial Monday at the Woolwich Crown Court in London.

The activists came armed with weapons and pyrotechnics, the court heard.

Samuel Corner, 23, was allegedly filmed beating Evans, though he denies having hit her, according to the BBC. He is standing trial with Charlotte Head, 29, Leona Kamio, 30, Fatema Rajwani, 21, Zoe Rogers, 22, and Jordan Devlin, 31. They deny all charges of aggravated burglary, criminal damage and violent disorder, the BBC reported.

The British government outlawed Palestine Action, which was established in 2020, and declared it to be a terrorist organization in July following a series of similar break-ins and what the group called “occupations” of firms with Israeli ties.

Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori has submitted an appeal with London’s High Court to reverse the ban and designation. On Wednesday, the High Court was scheduled to begin looking into her legal action, which is taking place separately from the six activists’ trial.

However, if her appeal is accepted, that ruling could be beneficial to the defense of the six activists.

More than 2,000 people have been arrested for holding signs in support of the group, with over 200 charged for expressing support for a proscribed organization, according to the BBC.


CAIRing About Terror 🪂 🤸 MBS: Must Believe Saudis...?
In the past week, President Trump had high-profile meetings with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS) and New York Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani. And then he declared "certain chapters or subdivisions" of the Muslim Brotherhoood as designated terrorist organizations.

While DJT cozied up to these questionable figures, it left a lot of people asking a lot of questions. Can these men be trusted? Should they be trusted? And what does this mean for the short-term and long-term future of our nation...and the world?

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the implications of the unholy alliances that seem to be popping up all over the Oval Office. Can Middle Eastern "allies" really be trusted?

Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East. He was a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, teaching in the War Studies and Behavioural Science departments. In the last year he has visited Gaza twice as well as Hezbollah tunnels in Lebanon. Andrew is a regular Middle East commentator on GB News, TalkTV and LBC radio, and has been published in The Spectator, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, New York Post and The Tablet, amongst others.


BDS activists blast Jewish Israel critic Peter Beinart for speaking at Tel Aviv University
Progressive Jewish author Peter Beinart drew a volley of criticism on Tuesday from the boycott Israel movement as well as a right-wing Israeli group over an appearance at Tel Aviv University.

Beinart, who is an outspoken critic of Israel and a journalism professor at the City University of New York, spoke Tuesday evening in Tel Aviv with Yoav Fromer, a senior faculty member at TAU’s English department, in an event titled “Trump, Israel and the Future of American Democracy.”

A founding member of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS, publicly called on Beinart to cancel his visit after saying it had privately urged him to do so. The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel is the BDS movement’s cultural arm and a leading advocate for boycotts of Israeli academic institutions.

“Palestinians condemn Peter Beinart’s event at complicit Tel Aviv University in the midst of Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” PACBI said in a post on X. “Whitewashing genocide can never be reconciled with any claim to humanism or moral consistency.”

In a press release, PACBI accused the university of being “deeply complicit in enabling and trying to whitewash Israel’s US-armed and funded genocide as well as its decades-old regime of settler-colonialism, military occupation and apartheid.”

The author of several books, including “Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza,” published earlier this year, Beinart is also scheduled to speak at Hebrew University later this week, according to Haaretz. The former New Republic editor — who previously identified himself as a “liberal Zionist” — now opposes Israel’s existence as a specifically Jewish state.


Women’s March Leader Tossed Out for Anti-Semitism Lands on Mamdani Transition Team
A former Women’s March leader who was forced out of the organization for anti-Semitism has reemerged as a member of Zohran Mamdani’s transition team.

Tamika Mallory, an inaugural co-chair of the Women’s March protest group that formed in response to President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory, was among more than 400 people named to various transition committees on Monday. She will serve on the transition team’s Committee on Community Safety.

The Women's March cut ties with Mallory in 2019 after founder Teresa Shook wrote in a Facebook post that Mallory and three other leaders had "allowed anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment, and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist, hateful beliefs." Shook called on the co-chairs to leave the organization, stating that their extremism had "steered the Movement away from its true course."

During the first Women’s March meeting in November 2016, Mallory reportedly "asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people—and even, according to a secondhand source, claimed that Jews were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade," Tablet reported in 2018.

She also reportedly berated a Jewish co-founder, telling her, "Your people hold all the wealth."

The notion that Jews led the transatlantic slave trade, Tablet noted in its report, has been "popularized by The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews, a book published by Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam."

Mallory has a well-documented relationship with Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. She posted a photo with Farrakhan on Instagram in 2017, calling him "the GOAT." She also attended a Nation of Islam event in 2018 where Farrakhan denounced "Satanic Jews" and declared them "the mother and father of apartheid." He added that "the Jews have control over those agencies of government" and accused Jews of using marijuana to induce homosexuality in black men.
