We need to extinguish the fires of tribalism before they burn us all up.

These past few weeks, we’ve witnessed a new and terrifying phenomenon: The banlieue-ization of American cities and college campuses.

Just like the French suburbs that catch fire, quite literally, every time their disgruntled residents decide that they’re not fond of a particular policy or bit of breaking news, we now have bonfires in Bay Ridge and pinheads at Penn marching around and cheering on Jewish genocide. And just like those French suburbs, one major reason for this vile and violent degeneracy is a new generation of young people who no longer feel bound to their fellow citizens in any meaningful way.

My daughter is scared of the dark. We got her a nightlight—it glows purple—which helps. Still, she likes my husband or me to lie in bed with her until she falls asleep. She’ll wrap her arm around my neck as she drifts off, and whisper things like “I love you, Mommy” and “What are we doing tomorrow?” She is four and a half.

That Kumbaya Kool-Aid has a bad aftertaste I bet.

One of the most absurd arguments made by anti-Semites is that you can’t criticize Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism.

In fact, criticizing the ferocity of Israel’s response in Gaza to Hamas’ vicious terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, is not anti-Semitism.

Last week a group of pro-Palestinian protestors stormed the Cannon House Office Building and staged a protest inside the Rotunda. Protests are not allowed in congressional buildings, so they had no right to be there. Roughly 300 of these protesters were arrested for illegally demonstrating, and a few more were charged with assaulting police officers.

The protest, which promptly met the qualifications of an insurrection (according to Democrats), was organized by the supposed “Jewish” organizations Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and IfNotNow. How Jewish are these groups in reality? I dare say very little.

Israel has stepped up its operations to follow through on its promise to wipe out Hamas’s hierarchy and the people behind the October 7 attacks.

As tanks rolled into Gaza in the early hours of Thursday, the preparations for Israel’s promised ground invasion against Hamas began as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned “this is only the beginning”.

Experts told The National Israel will be making “no distinction” between Hamas’s political and military leadership and its hit list will be “exhaustive and ranked in value order”.

There’s division in the ranks after NDP Leader Marit Stiles dumped Sarah Jama from the party’s caucus for insubordination following two weeks of controversy over the rookie MPP’s statement about the Hamas-Israel war.

In a thread Wednesday on X (formerly Twitter), New Democrat MPP Jill Andrew — who, like Jama, is Black — said a statement from Stiles announcing the decision “went on to conjure what I feel were stereotypical tropes about Black people, especially Black women, who are perceived as difficult.”

Lots of love for Hamas in the NDP.

Harvard will establish a task force to support students experiencing doxxing, harassment, and online security issues following backlash against students allegedly affiliated with a statement that held Israel “entirely responsible” for violence in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The new task force will be in operation until Nov. 3, at which point the task force will reassess its efforts to ensure that its work meets student needs, according to an email obtained by The Crimson. The message, dated Tuesday, was sent to doxxed students by Dean of Students Thomas Dunne.
