A neo-Nazi skinhead who said he doesn't hate Jews, just doesn't want them around anymore.Famous firebrand radio star Rev. Charles Coughlin denied being antisemitic.Henry Ford, who distribute...

Guess who wanted to see Arabs transferred out of Palestine in the 1940s?

Zachary Foster of Princeton University tweets a "gotcha:"This appears to be an accurate representation of what Weitz wrote in his diary in 1941. But what Foster leaves out is that David Ben Gurion rejected Weitz's desire to create a transfer committee in 1948, during the actual fighting.

An independent report was released last week looking at allegations of pervasive antisemitism at the National Union of Students (NUS) in the United Kingdom. The antisemitism is closely linked with anti-Zionism, where Jewish students are lightning rods for students' hate against Israel.As Spiked Online summarizes the report:Written by barrister Rebecca Tuck, the report...
