“Oct 7 2023”

I was stabbed in the eye last night on Yale University’s campus because I am a Jew.

I wish I could say I was surprised, but since October 7, Yale has refused to take action against students glorifying violence, chanting “resistance is justified,” “celebrat[ing] the resistance’s success,” and fundraising for “Palestinian anarchist fighters” on the frontlines of the “resistance.” In more recent days, the school has allowed students to run roughshod over their most basic policies against postering, time and place restrictions, disorderly conduct, respect for university property, and the rights of others, not to mention stalking and harassment.

Yesterday, I paid the price for their inaction.

The recent anti-Israel and pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia University have seen calls for a double Holocaust – not a second Holocaust, but a double one.

In footage that emerged from the Columbia hate orgy over the weekend, one of the protestors yelled at Jewish students and counter-protestors, “Remember the 7th of October! That will happen not one more time, not five more times, not 10 more times, not 100 more times, not 1,000 more times, but 10,000 times!”

This is what I referred to in 2010 as Malmö Syndrome,  the antisemitic violence resulting from the shared anti-Israeli agenda of Islamists and leftists:

Malmö is the third largest Swedish city, and now the poster child for what I call Malmö Syndrome, the anti-Semitic violence which results from the shared anti-Israeli agenda of Islamists and leftists.

The result is that Malmö is being depopulated of Jews as a result of street violence by Mulsims and disinterest by left-wing politicians….

Later in the evening she was also stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag whilst on campus.

Maj.-Gen. Aharon Haliva, the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate head, has retired from the IDF after leaving a letter of resignation on the desk of IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Israeli media reported on Monday.

Shortly after, the IDF released a statement saying, “In a decision with the Chief of Staff and with the approval of the Minister of Defense, Major General Aharon Haliva will conclude his role and retire from the IDF after appointing a successor through an orderly and professional process.

I still don’t understand the events of Oct 7.

The mask has fallen for the same reason it momentarily slipped on October 7 itself: The anti-Israel activists are confident, comfortable, and believe they are winning as they support terrorism.

The Columbia University encampment protests have seen a startling escalation in violent and pro-terrorist rhetoric since the anti-Israel activists occupied the campus on Wednesday.

Videos of demonstrators promising to carry out more massacres similar to the one on October 7 have flooded social media, many of them posted by pro-Palestinian groups and activists themselves.

They have not only praised Hamas, calling on them to kill more IDF soldiers, shoot rockets, and burn down Tel Aviv, but they have also identified with the terrorist group, with one woman saying, “We’re all Hamas.”

Britain’s streets have become another frontier in the war between Israel and Hamas and often the police are being caught in the crossfire.

A series of flashpoints between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian supporters has seen police forces plunged into complex scenarios and at times drawn criticism for its handling of them.

Since October 7, on average there has been a pro-Palestinian protest in London every two weekends in what has been the biggest continuing drain on police resources since before the 2012 Olympic Games, costing tens of millions of pounds.

Jews feel less safe in America than they did a generation ago, and for good reason. As my colleagues have documented, we are living through a disturbing surge in anti-Semitic violence. The reason, I suspect, is a change in the ideological climate, one that represents a grave threat to the American experiment.

Other nations, throughout their histories, have scorned the Jewish people. But it was George Washington who asked that “the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.” Since then, America has welcomed the Jewish people. In return, it has reaped enormous rewards, as the extraordinary achievements of Jewish scientists, doctors, lawyers, artists, businesspeople, and statesmen have helped make America the most dynamic, productive, and creative nation in the world.

A standup performance from former TV host Chelsea Handler was disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters Friday in Richmond, Virginia.

Hander was appearing at the Altria Theater in Richmond for her “Little Big Bitch” comedy tour when her show was beset by protesters.

As Handler was onstage, several women jumped up onto the stage and began yelling at her about the ongoing situation in Gaza.

For some reason it doesn’t matter that Handler is as left as it gets.

B’nai Brith Canada has condemned “normalized” antisemitism after new vandalism at a Toronto-area synagogue.

Toronto police are reportedly investigating after B’nai Brith Canada and others shared photos on Friday of broken windows at Kehillat Shaarei Torah synagogue on Bayview Avenue in Toronto.
