The BBC was ranked third on a “Global Antisemitism Top Ten” list by a major Jewish group, beaten only by Iran and the Hamas terror group.
The head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Marvin Hier, told the Daily Mail that “people might be surprised to see the BBC on our list, but the decision to place the BBC at No. 3 came after months of intense debate and discussion.”
G. Tod Slone has written that “as a political ideology, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), has proven time and again to be against freedom, reason, and truth. Proponents of the ideology tend to be hypocrites and anti-white racists [.]”
In fact, DEI is also a pathway to anti-Semitism.
At least three people were killed and several others wounded after rival Palestinian armed groups Hamas and Fatah clashed during a funeral at a refugee camp in Lebanon on Sunday.
Fatah gunmen “shot at the funeral procession” at the Burj el-Shemali camp, outside the southern port city of Tyre, Hamas official Raafat al-Murra said.
At least three Hamas members were killed in the attack, while six people were wounded, according to al-Murra. Some local media outlets put the death toll at four.
A Canadian Circus
… The happy news last week was that the Toronto District School Board Trustees voted to reject the recommendation to censure Ms. Lulka.
It was, though, a 10-7 vote. Which means that seven of the distinguished Canadian citizens entrusted with overseeing Toronto’s educational system found Ms. Lulka’s pointing out materials supportive of killing Jews to have been an unacceptable act. Worthy, in fact, of censure.
Toronto school officials censure trustee who sounded alarm on anti-Semitic materials
(December 6, 2021 / JNS) A Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustee who raised concerns on Twitter last spring about a “manual” sent to teachers that included anti-Semitic messages was recommended for “censure.”
The recommendation was issued on Thursday against trustee Alexandra Lulka by Integrity Commissioner Suzanne Craig, who in her report also found that the materials Lulka complained about did, in fact, contain some anti-Semitic writings and promoted terrorism.
The lunatics rule at the TDSB asylum. Homeschool.
(November 30, 2021 / JNS) Just days before a report concerning anti-Semitism on campus is set to be released, the student union at a branch of the University of Toronto voted in favor of a radical BDS measure against Israel.
The resolution by the Scarborough Center Students Union, which was passed on Nov. 24, says, in part, that it will “refrain from engaging with organizations, services or participating in events that further normalize Israeli apartheid.” That includes “inviting speakers who are representing the Israel Defense Force or support the military occupation of Palestine, the displacement, incarceration and/or killing of Palestinian people.”
Jewish leaders say they are on edge about a rise in antisemitism from the political left in the U.S.
The recent spate of hate directed at Jewish people includes people asked to leave public events for looking “visibly Jewish,” sharp anti-Israel stances in Congress and descendants of the Holocaust being accused of supporting genocide.
There has been “a slow but steady, unmistakable rise of antisemitism among progressive groups,” Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO and national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, recently wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post.
Like this only started last week.
It is an honor to be attacked or mocked by anti-Semites or enablers of anti-Semitism. As a frequent target of such bigots, I generally ignore their garbage. But when the enablers are professors at a distinguished university, it is essential to expose them and respond.
The University of Chicago has two professors who fit into this sordid category. To understand why the shoe fits, we must go back to the publication a few years ago of an overtly anti-Semitic book, The Wandering Who, by an admitted Jew-hater named Gilad Atzmon.
Atzmon declared himself a “proud, self-hating Jew,” with “contempt” for “the Jew in me.” His writings both online and in his book brim with classic anti-Semitic motifs borrowed from Nazi publications.
Israeli Ambassador to London Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) was forced to flee an event held at the London School of Economics Tuesday night following a protest by pro-Palestinian protesters, according to social media. In the video (see above), Hotovely is seen leaving the building holding a bouquet and surrounded by security guards who urge her to get in the car and drive away quickly, with demonstrators holding the Palestinian flag shouting at her, “Shame on you.”
Diversity makes us…
Amazing.

“… To his credit, last month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau led a Canadian delegation to the Malmö International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism. In his remarks to the forum, he rightfully warned of “organizations of extremist groups on the far-right and the far-left that are pushing white supremacy, intolerance (and) radicalization, promoting hatred, fear and mistrust.”
His statement was immediately condemned by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, which objected to the prime minister equating “anti-racists and anti-fascists with white supremacists and the far-right.” This is illustrative of the problem: one of the most dangerous aspects of anti-Semitism in the West today is that right-wing and left-wing leaders often excuse Jew-hatred in their own camp, while cynically calling it out in the other.
The fact is that those who raised the swastika on Canadian streets in May, and who threatened Jews in Edmonton and Montreal , were not the Proud Boys — they were people who identify with the left. And this problem is not new. One could be forgiven for assuming that those who chanted , “The Jews are our dogs!” at a rally in 2020 were neo-Nazi skinheads, but they were actually Palestinian-Canadian high school students.”
Holy Farberammerung! As I’ve said for years, Islam’s hatred of Jews is a feature not a bug. It’s bred in the bone but yea keep those immigration floodgates open cuz diversity!
The Yale Law School administrator caught on tape pressuring a student to apologize for an allegedly racist party invitation pushed the Yale Law Journal to host a diversity trainer who told students that anti-Semitism is merely a form of anti-blackness and suggested that the FBI artificially inflates the number of anti-Semitic hate crimes.
The comments from diversity trainer Ericka Hart—a self-described “kinky” sex-ed teacher who works with children as young as nine—shocked members of the predominantly liberal law review, many of whom characterized the presentation as anti-Semitic, according to a memo from Yale Law Journal editors obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The District of Columbia chapter of the Sunrise Movement, a radical group of climate change activists, announced Wednesday that it would not participate in a local voting rights rally because of the involvement of “Zionist” groups.
Guerilla bus stop advertisements reading “Normal people boycott Israel” went on display in London on Saturday, in solidarity with writer Sally Rooney for what its creators called her “principled stand” against Tel Aviv.
Prolific “subvertising agency” Protest Stencil unveiled its latest mainstream discourse-disrupting advert at the weekend. The posters, flyposted on London bus stops, read, “Normal people boycott Israel” and featured an image of a sardine tin, mirroring the cover of Rooney’s best-selling 2018 novel ‘Normal People’. The book was adapted for television in 2020, garnering popular and critical acclaim
The NYPD’s hate crime unit is hunting for a woman who poured gasoline on a Yeshiva in Brooklyn and set it alight, as New York City’s crimewave continues.
The incident took place Thursday night at around 7:27 pm, according to police. They received a call for an arson incident outside the Yeshiva of Flatbush on Avenue J.
A Yeshiva is a Jewish school that focuses on traditional religious texts. There are about 275 Yeshivas in New York City.
If it’s true Ms Rooney is refusing a Hebrew translation of her new novel, then that’s appalling.
If it is true that Sally Rooney is refusing to allow her latest novel to be translated into Hebrew, then that’s a new low for the anti-Israel set. It crosses the line from taking a political stand into territory that is much darker and more dangerous. This is what’s being reported: that Ms Rooney turned down an Israeli publisher’s offer to translate Beautiful World, Where Are You into the historic language of the Jewish people because she supports the cultural boycott of Israel. According to Haaretz, when Modan, the publisher, approached Rooney’s representatives, it was told it could not bring out a Hebrew version of the book because Ms Rooney backs the BDS movement and its demand that we boycott the cultural and intellectual output of the Jewish State.
A Texas school district superintendent apologized after an administrator was recorded suggesting that teachers should offer students access to an ‘opposing’ perspective when teaching the Holocaust, in order to comply with the state’s new laws banning critical race theory.
On Thursday night, Carroll Independent School District (ISD) superintendent Lane Ledbetter issued an apology ‘I express my sincere apology regarding the online article and news story released today.’
He apologized after a school administrator was recorded saying that teachers needed to offer opposing views to lessons, specifically naming the Holocaust.
