Pittsburgh synagogue gunman found eligible for death penalty
A jury has found a gunman who murdered 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue is eligible for the death penalty.
Robert Bowers, 50, was found guilty last month for the October 2018 attack.
This was the second stage of the trial. It now moves on to its final phase, sentencing selection.
The same jury will have to decide if Bowers should receive life in prison or be sentenced to death for carrying out the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history.
From CUNY to the Pandemic, Systemic Anti-Semitism is the Real Problem
In May, the Biden administration released its National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism which promoted a definition of antisemitism written by an anti-Israel activist who had defended Islamic terrorism against Jews. The administration partnered with CAIR, refused to acknowledge Islamic antisemitism, or address the worst cases of campus antisemitism at the government’s public universities like the University of California and City University of New York.
Berlin: Two Antisemitic Attacks Per Day in 2022
Newly published figures from the Research and Information Center on Antisemitism (RIAS) in Berlin have revealed that in Germany’s capital city, which percentage-wise hosts one of the largest Muslim populations of any major European capital, more than two antisemitic attacks per day were recorded in 2022.
In its report titled “Antisemitic Incidents in Berlin in 2022,” published on Wednesday, May 10th, RIAS Berlin, which kept track of all antisemitic incidents across all districts, social classes, and political orientations, recorded 848 anti-Jewish incidents of physical and verbal nature, a total which amounts to 2.3 incidents per day, the daily Berliner Zeitung reports.
One incident of extreme violence, 21 assaults, 31 targeted property damage, 24 threats, and 751 incidents of abusive behavior involving, among other things, 36 gatherings and 20 mass mailings were among the 848 antisemitic incidents that were recorded last year, the organization states in its report.
Diversity Alert: Member of Alberta multiculturalism council resigns over antisemitic posts
… The Opposition NDP provided The Canadian Press screen grabs of what appears to be Khan’s Facebook account.
One shows an edited image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the Star of David on his forehead, feasting on the blood of a child with the words “can’t get enough” written above his head. Another post shows Khan allegedly praising a terrorist convicted for his role in the 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament.
Teens wanted for anti-Semitic Passover attacks in Queens
A group of anti-Semitic teens in Queens are wanted for a series of disturbing attacks on the third day of Passover.
Two boys and girl allegedly approached a 49-year-old man at Caffrey Avenue and Mott Avenue around 2:45 p.m. Friday and began throwing rocks at him while shouting hateful comments, police said.
Occasionally someone gets it
If you don't think that the Libs & NDP know that running a virulent antisemite is a winning strategy in a Canada that is massively changing, then you are naive to history or don't care. Expect MUCH more of this open antisemitism in years to come, not lesshttps://t.co/JI7HHZPGk7

Nazis to the left of me; Muslims to the right of me: here I am, stuck in the middle, again
During Roman times Jews made up 10% of the population of the Roman Empire. Today, there should be 200 million Jews. There are only 15 million in a world of 8 billion: There are 2 billion Muslims, 2 billion Christians and Catholics.
Why is that?
Could it be innate, systemic endemic Jew hatred?
Look around- Nazis to the left of me; Muslims to the right of me: here I am, the Jew, stuck in the middle, again.
What we saw happen in Nazi Germany is happening in America. The Vanishing Jew. Not that America hasn’t been down that road, before. Instead of calling for the erasure of Jews because of “race,” it is now about diversity. Does it matter what the reason? The end result is the same
One for the memory hole …
‘He was hunting Jews’: L.A. officials decry antisemitism in wake of shootings
In a school gymnasium painted yellow and black to symbolize the star that Jewish people were forced to wear in Nazi Germany, Mayor Karen Bass addressed a crowd of 400 who had gathered for a town hall on antisemitic violence after the shootings of two Jewish men last week in Los Angeles.
The shootings occurred Wednesday and Thursday morning, as the men were leaving prayer services. Both survived their wounds, and a suspect, Jaime Tran, who has a history of making antisemitic statements, was taken into custody Thursday. Tran, 28, was charged the following day with federal hate crimes. If convicted, he faces life without parole in federal prison, prosecutors said.
Police described the suspected shooter as an Asian man with a mustache and goatee …
Alleged gunman in custody after 2 Jewish men shot in suspected hate crime: Police
Two Jewish men were shot in Los Angeles within 24 hours in what police said they are investigating as a hate crime.
A suspect was taken into custody Thursday evening with police saying they believe he is responsible for both shootings, which occurred in West Los Angeles on Wednesday and Thursday morning.
The perp was driving a white car so the ADL will claim it as a white supremacist hate crime.
How Britain has failed to prevent Islamist extremism and to protect Jews
While events in Israel continue to attract disproportionate and distorted global attention, Islamic extremism remains a threat inside Western society. It’s accompanied by the parallel failure of the West even to face up honestly to the true nature of this problem, let alone deal with it adequately.
This week, a review was published in Britain of the government’s anti-extremism program, Prevent. This was set up in the wake of the 2007 Islamist terrorist atrocity in London, when more than 50 people were murdered and hundreds more injured in a series of four bomb attacks.
Majority of students hide Jewish identity, pro-Israel views, Hillel Ontario poll finds
A new poll by Hillel Ontario found that a significant majority of Jewish students had refrained from expressing their pro-Israel believes in public for fear of being criticized and slightly more than half had downplayed their Jewishness in social settings.
Hillel Ontario, which describes itself as the largest regional Hillel in the world with a combined Jewish student population of 14,000 across nine universities, released the findings from the “student pulse check survey” after polling nearly 500 Jewish students between November 2022 and January 2023.
Britain’s counter-extremism strategy is failing to address extreme antisemitism
Britain’s counter-extremism strategy is failing to address extreme antisemitism, according to the independent review of the Prevent programme.
William Shawcross said he was “disturbed by the prevalence” of hatred towards Jews among people referred to Prevent, a programme which aims to stop people becoming terrorists.
He said those who referred individuals to Prevent and staff carrying out Prevent programmes did not understand antisemitism sufficiently and were failing to tackle it as a growing extremist threat.
The entrenchment of Western Jew-hatred
As the culture hurtles towards the precipice, Diaspora Jews are like rabbits caught in the headlights.
In Britain’s House of Commons this week, MP Kim Johnson launched an attack on the “fascist Israeli government” and its “apartheid” policies.
Johnson is a Labour Party MP. You know, the same Labour Party whose current moderate leader, Sir Keir Starmer, has reputedly cleansed it of the Jew-hatred that exploded under its previous hard-left leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Following Johnson’s remarks, the Labour leadership leapt into immediate action. Within hours, Johnson was ordered to make a groveling apology.
What The Media Won’t Tell You: The Squad, Race And Anti-Semitism
Perhaps you’ve seen it. (He says with tongue in cheek.)
“It” would be the meltdown from Democratic “Squad” House Members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota because House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had removed Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Removed her because of her blatant and repeated anti-Semitism.
