The organization that placed a billboard at Harvard University accusing some students of antisemitism amid the fight between Israel and Hamas is part of a network of rightwing media organizations being funded by a major conservative donor via a shadowy new foundation.

The single largest identified donor last year to Accuracy in Media (AIM), which placed the billboard, is the Informing America Foundation (IAF), formed in 2021, which has already dished out at least $8m to rightwing nonprofit and for-profit organizations, according to IRS filings.

In the days following Hamas’s slaughter of innocent Israelis, a George Washington University professor under federal investigation for the mistreatment of Jewish students shared posts on her private Instagram account that describe Hamas terrorists as “martyrs” and endorse their “armed resistance.”

The past week should have been clarifying for Americans who have been inundated over the past few years by a melange of buzzwords whose meanings were unfamiliar, but vaguely virtuous-sounding.

Words like “equity” and “social justice,” of course. But also words like “decolonize,” which is a key component of the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” movement.

York University, one of the lesser houses of higher education in Toronto, has in attendance about 50,000 undergraduate students. They pay roughly $2 million per year to the York Federation of Students (YFS).

So it’s the students, ultimately, who paid for the delusional statement issued by the YFS this week in response to the attacks on Israel by the terror group Hamas.

President Isaac Herzog on Sunday, in an interview with CNN, presented evidence found on Hamas terrorists following the barbaric attack on the people of Israel a week ago. He showed viewers a booklet entitled “The Warrior’s Guide – Jihad Version”, issued and distributed by Hamas to terrorists in the field.

In addition, the President presented shocking photos of atrocities in the massacre at Kibbutz Be’eri, which he visited this morning.

Canadian officials are making increasingly urgent calls for Israel to allow humanitarian access to the Gaza strip — or end the fighting altogether.

In a statement on Saturday evening, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau focused on the deteriorating situation in Gaza, calling a humanitarian corridor into the region “essential to address the urgent needs of civilians.” Trudeau also said international law and the rights of workers like medics and journalists must be respected.

“Canadians and people around the world must be steadfast in our support for the protection of civilians, both Israeli and Palestinian,” Trudeau said.

The tune will slowy shift to the usual whine of “disproportionate force.”

Israel should ignore the compromised choir and eliminate Hamas.

Oct 15 (Reuters) – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said the actions and policies of Islamist group Hamas do not represent Palestinian people, according to official news agency WAFA.

In a phone call with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Abbas also called the Palestine Liberation Organization the “sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people,” WAFA said
