Rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West claimed last week that the U.S. is being run by “300 Zionists,” one of many antisemitic statements that he has continued to make despite criticism and pleas for him to stop.

Hundreds of black supremacists march through Brooklyn chanting ‘we are the real Jews’
Hundreds of supporters of black supremacy and NBA star Kyrie Irving marched through the streets of Brooklyn on Sunday chanting: ‘We are the real Jews’ and ‘Time to wake up.’
In one video obtained by DailyMail.com, the Black Hebrew Israelites, specifically the groups’ Members of Israel United in Christ sect, can be heard chanting in unison: ‘It’s time to wake up. I’ve got good news for you, we are the real Jews.’
The black supremacists have become emboldened in recent weeks after both Irving, who has previously said he believes the earth is flat and pushed unfounded conspiracy theories around Covid-19, as well as music superstar Kanye West brought their anti-Semitic talking points into the mainstream.

U. of Arizona accused of ignoring antisemitism, leading to murder of professor
“You’re a filthy kike lover who’s been deceived by them, but I really can’t blame you, they’re very deceptive,” – Murad Dervish
A top Jewish community security consultant accused the University of Arizona of ignoring antisemitism as a warning sign in a case that culminated in the shooting death of a professor.
“Professor Thomas Meixner lost his life because antisemitism is not being taken seriously enough,” Michael Masters, the CEO of the Secure Community Network, wrote in an op-ed published Tuesday in the Arizona Republic.
The difference between leftist and rightist antisemitism
Jews should be more concerned about leftist antisemitism than rightist antisemitism.
My friend and the co-founder of the Jewish Studies Zionist Network, Professor Jarrod Tanny points out that whereas rightist antisemitism is a fringe element on the right of the North American political spectrum, leftist antisemitism disguised as anti-Zionism is steadily advancing into mainstream academic and political discourse. For this reason, he warns that Jewish organizations should be even more concerned and alert about leftist antisemitism than about rightist antisemitism.

After typing “Jew” on FIFA’s World Cup fantasy page I came across a league called Kill All Jews set up by someone named “Kneegah.”
Report: Anti-Semitic Hate Crimes on U.S. College Campuses Skyrocket
A ‘pervasive and relentless assault on Jewish identity’ is occurring daily
A “pervasive and relentless assault on Jewish identity” is occurring daily at colleges across America, according to a new report from a watchdog group that found assaults on Jewish students and their identity doubled in the 2021 to 2022 academic year, particularly on campuses most popular with Jewish students.
Jewish groups denounce upcoming Montreal show by rapper accused of antisemitism
MONTREAL — A Jewish group is calling on a Montreal venue to cancel a performance by a French rapper whose music it describes as “openly antisemitic and hateful.”
B’nai Brith Canada sent a letter on Friday to the owners of L’Olympia theatre in Montreal, urging them to cancel a Dec. 4 show by musician Freeze Corleone.
“Mr. Corleone is openly antisemitic and hateful,” read the letter signed by Marvin Rotrand, the national director of B’nai Brith’s League of Human Rights.
From Ladepche – The musician is accused of “apologizing for Nazism and anti-Semitism” in the texts of his songs. The rapper praises Adolf Hitler and Mullah Omar, before attacking the Jewish community.
One suspect in anti-Jewish Brooklyn gel pellet attack held on bail, two others freed
One of the goons who allegedly blasted a Hasidic Jewish mom and her adult son with gel pellets in an alleged hate crime assault in Brooklyn was held on bail Thursday as the other two suspects were sprung on supervised release.
Jacob Hernandez, 38, begged for mercy as he was led away in handcuffs on $7,500 cash bail while the other two suspects, Zakaria Moataz and Dorian Watt, walked out of the courtroom with their faces covered.
New Yorkers must love this stuff, they voted for more.
Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez’s Credibility Problem, Part One: The Laith Marouf/CMAC Issue
Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez appeared before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on Friday for one hour and walked away with a serious credibility problem. Rodriguez has already been repeatedly contradicted on Bill C-11, claiming that the bill doesn’t cover user content or algorithms. On both issues, the CRTC Chair (and virtually every expert) say otherwise. Friday’s hearing focused on two issues – the Laith Marouf/CMAC issue of government funding for an anti-semite and Bill C-18, the Online News Act. Given his responses to MP questions, Rodriguez now faces credibility questions on both. This post will focus on his responses to questions about Canadian Heritage funding for CMAC/Marouf and a second post tomorrow will examine his misleading statements on the bill.
The inclusion of questions on Canadian Heritage funding an anti-semite as part of its anti-hate program appeared to take Rodriguez by surprise. The questions began with Conservative MP Rachael Thomas, who noted Rodriguez’s silence this summer and pressed him on whether he would come to committee to answer questions.
New poll reveals far left’s embrace of anti-Semitic tropes
Four-fifths of self-identified “progressive” and “very liberal” likely voters in the U.S. believe Jewish Americans have “unfair advantages” that need to be addressed, according to Jewish Institute for Liberal Values survey.
Why I think the Golden Age for Jews in America is coming to its end
The decline in the favorability of mainstream American views toward Israel has coincided with a rise in antisemitic violence, particularly in large metropolises, promoted by Islamo-Leftist groups.
By now, we have read countless articles warning of the coming end of the Jewish golden era in America. The dwindling number of Americans identifying as Jews (now around 4.5 million—half of all Americans of Jewish descent), the passing of the Holocaust generation and the fading memory of the Holocaust itself, ideological polarization and illiberalism are just a few of the reasons discussed.
Berkeley Law’s “Jew-Free Zone” Controversy
In August, nine student groups at Berkeley law school signed a statement sponsored group Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine pledging not to invite “speakers that have expressed and continued to hold views … in support of Zionism, the apartheid state of Israel, and the occupation of Palestine.”
Two things need to be clarified. First, by “support” for “the occupation of Palestine” SJP means “supports the existence of Israel.” So any speaker who thinks Israel should exist is forbidden. Second, the pledge is to not invite any speaker on any subject who comes within the scope of the ban. So, for example, if the “Women of Berkeley Law” group wanted to invite a speaker from NARAL to speak about post-Dobbs abortion rights activism, the group would decline to do so if the speaker has ever publicly stated that she’s not in favor of Israel being destroyed (the flip side of Israel existing).
MP Ahmed Hussen tells Parliament he knew about Laith Marouf contract for a month before speaking out
OTTAWA – Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen admitted to MPs he was alerted to the antisemitic tweets of a consultant hired by the government for anti-racism training a month before he first spoke out on the issue.
Earlier this year, Hussen’s department gave a $133,000 grant to the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) to build an anti-racism strategy for the broadcasting sector. On Twitter, Laith Marouf, a senior consultant with CMAC, has referred to “Jewish White Supremacists,” as “loud mouthed bags of human feces.” He also used anti Francophone slurs and called French an “ugly language”
Sure Hussen sure.
The new loyalty oath imposed on Jews
On college campuses, in progressive organizing spaces, in some professional contexts, and even among friends, Americans are increasingly being told their Zionism is disqualifying. For many Jews, that means an aspect of their own identity makes them persona non grata in spaces where left-wing views are paramount. For non-Jews, maintaining until-recently mainstream, pro-Israel opinions means risking social stigmatization and professional harm. Although this problem has begun to gain some visibility, it’s time Americans understood the extent of the social pressure to self-censor or else face the mob.
A Hate Crime a Day Keeps the DOJ Away
If any other ethnic group in America* was being violently attacked on the streets of a major city with such numbing repetitiveness, a major civil rights investigation would follow (*except for Asians)
New York politicians are at least talking about waging a more serious response to the frequent acts of violence and harassment targeting the city’s Orthodox Jews. Last week, Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres, N.Y.-15, called for a federal probe of New York’s failure to prosecute suspects in anti-Jewish hate crimes, which have become so routine a feature of life in Orthodox communities that only the most egregious incidents ever become known beyond community media or the Twitter feeds of local politicians. On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams promised that assaults on Jews “won’t be tolerated.”
