Hims and Hers stock plummets 8% after CEO says he is ‘eager’ to hire anti-Israel protesters

Andrew Dudum

The stock price of Hims & Hers Health, Inc. plummeted 8% after the company’s CEO said he and other executives were “eager” to hire anti-Israel student protesters who’ve faced disciplinary actions from their universities.

The online sexual health and pharmaceutical company dropped from its opening price of $12.24 to $11.26 on Friday — just two days after Palestinian-American CEO Andrew Dudum said companies would be happy to have the protesters and encouraged them to apply to Hims and Hers.

NYPD issues arrest figures amid ‘outside agitator’ claim at Columbia Gaza protest

New York’s police department has declared that approximately 29% of the people it arrested at pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University were “not affiliated” with the institution, as the city’s mayor continues to face scrutiny over his claims that the hardline police response was due to the actions of “outside agitators”.

The NYPD also said 60% of arrestees at City College of New York (CCNY) on Tuesday night were unaffiliated with the college, though a CCNY spokesperson confirmed to the Guardian that these arrest figures applied to protesters both on and off the college’s grounds.

The statements came as police across the US have arrested almost 2,200 people at campus protests in 43 different locations during a week of heightened tension and unrest that has often been met with tough action from law enforcement.

Sweden ramps up Eurovision security amid Quran burnings and protests

Inside the Malmo Arena, Eurovision fans can expect a spectacular show brimming with colourful costumes and carefully rehearsed performances. Outside, the atmosphere may be darker: Swedish police are expecting Quran burnings, protests and a continued elevated terrorist threat.

A polarised debate surrounding the conflict in Gaza and Israel’s participation in the song contest have intensified the workload for law enforcement. About 100,000 visitors are expected in Malmo for the Eurovision week.

Don’t Become Sweden – Admitting Gazan “refugees” would be catastrophically stupid

There must be worse ideas than admitting refugees from Gaza into the U.S., but none immediately come to mind.

According to CBS News, one proposal the Biden administration is considering is “using the decades-old United States Refugee Admissions Program to welcome Palestinians with U.S. ties who have managed to escape Gaza and enter neighboring Egypt.” Another possibility is “getting additional Palestinians out of Gaza and processing them as refugees if they have American relatives.”

Canada: Oakville School Suspends, Investigates Teacher for Saying ‘Keffiyeh Reminds Her of a Terrorist’

The Palestinian “resistance” (from the River to the Sea) has been exported globally. It spring-boarded from October 7, drawing in multitudes of followers and leading them to believe that they are part of a social justice movement. They don’t realize that they are being played for fools by a movement that is rooted in Islam’s 1,400-year history. The latest example of this is an incident in Oakville, Ontario’s largest town near Toronto: “HDSB investigates after ‘harmful’ language directed at student wearing keffiyeh,” CHCH, April 29, 2024 …

Anti-Israel agitator calls Byron Donalds an ‘Uncle Tom,’ ‘race traitor’ at GWU encampment

An anti-Israel activist shouted multiple epithets at Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., as he made an appearance at a Washington, D.C. college disrupted by protests.

On Wednesday, Donalds was one of the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee who visited an anti-Israel protester encampment at George Washington University amid a nationwide series of protests about the war in Gaza. The Daily Caller released video of Donalds being berated by a middle-aged man with a foreign accent who appeared to be part of the protests that afternoon.

Trudeau says universities and police must be trusted to keep campuses safe for Jews vows to import more Gazans to help out

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said universities should be places where ideas are debated but they also need to be safe for students, as a growing number of encampments protesting Israel’s war in Gaza have been set up at Canadian schools.

“Universities are places where the freedom of speech, the freedom of ideas, the challenge of debate, of dialogue, of discussion about how to shape the world, how to see the world, how to go on out after university or college and lead the world are a core part of what campuses are all about,” Trudeau told reporters while visiting Hamilton, Ont. on Friday.

Hamas and Hezbollah: How Iran Is Secretly Infiltrating Europe

The terrorist threat to Europe from the Islamic Republic of Iran — and Hamas and Hezbollah, its proxies — is growing. European leaders, however, are absorbed with trying to prevent Israel from eliminating the military capabilities of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, even though that would diminish the ability of these terrorists to operate in Europe.

Even before the October 7 massacre in Israel by Hamas, Mossad Director David Barnea said in September 2023 that Israel’s intelligence services, in cooperation with their foreign partners, had prevented 27 terrorist attacks orchestrated by the Iran just over the last year, “all over the world, in Europe, Africa, the Far East and South America.”

PBS’s Amanpour Celebrates ‘Heart of the Pro-Palestinian Campus Peace Movement’

On Monday’s Amanpour & Co., which runs on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour took the side of the pro-Hamas campus protesters who are spewing anti-Jewish rhetoric on “progressive” college campuses nationwide — no surprise given her long-standing journalistic hostility toward Israel.

Against all evidence she insisted that the campus occupiers were “mostly nonviolent” idealists and that concerns had been blown “out of proportion.” Occupying private property is illegal, hence police may be called.

Pro-Palestinian protesters arrested at New York University and New School

Police began clearing out protesters at New York University (NYU) in downtown Manhattan on Friday as pressure continued to build on the city’s mayor, Eric Adams, to divulge more details on identities and affiliations of those within the 282 people arrested at uptown Columbia and City College of New York (CCNY) on Tuesday night – after he blamed “outside agitators” for prompting a crackdown.

Campuses elsewhere were relatively quiet overnight, while the recent weeks of escalated pro-Palestinian protests across more than 40 campuses nationwide have resulted in almost 2,200 arrests, according to an Associated Press tally.

UCLA Hamas Encampment Fanatics Get No Jail Time, and It Gets Worse From There

I can’t say I’m surprised given I predicted this, but that doesn’t make it any less absurd. According to a local news report in California, the violent pro-Hamas students who set up an illegal encampment and trashed the UCLA campus received no jail time.

From the LA Times a fawning review.

With remains of UCLA camp tossed in dumpster, Gaza activists assess the future

With the help of bulldozers, items including tents, chairs and yoga mats were removed Thursday morning from the UCLA encampment occupied by pro-Palestinian protesters and shoved into a large gray dumpster.

Packages of unopened plastic water bottles lay on the grass. Nearby, two white trucks held pieces of wood that had been used by protesters to barricade the camp. A group of four UCLA graduate students walked over to Dickson Court, the area on campus where the encampment once stood, only to learn the camp had been taken down. The action followed the arrests early Thursday of more than 200 protesters by officers in body armor, helmets and face shields.

War in Gaza: Anti-West sentiment grows in Malaysia

The ongoing war in Gaza has prompted debates in Malaysia and elsewhere in Southeast Asia over what is seen as the West’s moral decline.

Bruce Gilley, a Portland State University professor, sparked a scandal in Malaysia late last month. Gilley claimed during a lecture in Kuala Lumpur that the Southeast Asian country could never be a trusted friend of the West because its leaders are supporting a “second Holocaust against the Jewish people.”

His comments referred to the Malaysian government’s public support of Hamas since the Gaza War began.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has twice spoken with the leader of the militant group, Ismail Haniyeh, since the October 7 attacks carried out by Hamas.

Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by Israel, the German government, the EU and the United States, among others.

Lawsuit Seeks To Expose National Students for Justice in Palestine, and Its Allies, as Fronts for Hamas in Its War Against Israel

A lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court in America appears calculated to expose as a lie the prevailing claim by National Students for Justice in Palestine that the recent campus protests are home-grown responses to the war at Gaza and expose them as planned, financed, and orchestrated by foreign terrorist groups.

Filed in the federal court in Virginia, the suit alleges that immediately after October 7 terror attacks in Israel, National Students for Justice in Palestine and related organizations answered a call by Hamas for mass mobilization by disseminating a manifesto and a plan of attack aimed at American campuses. The manifesto, the suit claims, confirms that NSJP is “not merely organizing to assist Hamas’s ongoing terror campaign abroad — they are intentionally extending their aid to fomenting chaos, violence, and terror in the United States.”

Ideological Bedfellows in the Gaza Debate

The American student protests should be a wake-up call. Without a doubt, many of the students protesting Israel’s military action against Hamas in Gaza genuinely care for the plight of the Palestinian civilians being used by Hamas as human shields. However, it is clear that many student protestors are associating with very dark forces. Some of them have even gone so far as to praise Hamas and to openly call for burning Tel Aviv.

Over here in Europe, similar concerns have been raised. Mohammed Khatib is the EU coordinator for Samidoun, an extremist pro-Palestinian organisation. He lives in Belgium, and enjoys ‘refugee’ status. In a webinar on the terror raid on October 7, he stated that it was “a glorious day” that made him proud. Samidoun is considered a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Palestinian terror organisation notorious for plane hijackings and assassinations. Terrorists linked to the PFLP were also allegedly involved in the October 7 terror attack.
