Jewish and Muslim Americans in cities all around the country are worried that escalating tensions between Israel and Palestine, which some are calling “isolating and scary”, will exacerbate hate crimes and harassment in the United States.

For many Arab Americans in New York City, Bay Ridge was always a place of safety. The south Brooklyn neighborhood is 3 sq miles of Arabic bodega signs, halal grocers and a growing community of Palestinian, Yemeni, Syrian and Egyptian families.

On Wednesday, that sense of safety was punctured by reports of a hate crime.

The Guardian. There I warned ya.

A Stanford University lecturer ordered his Jewish students to stand in a corner and told them “this is what Israel does to Palestine”, according to reports.

The teacher is understood to have said “only” six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust and labelled students as “colonisers” or “colonised” depending on their heritage.

He also claimed the Hamas massacre of hundreds of Israelis was “legitimate” and described the terrorists as “freedom fighters”, according to The Forward.

“God Forbid.”

Shortly after sunrise on the morning of Saturday 7 October, a message pings on 200 phones of the Be’eri mothers’ WhatsApp group.

Minutes later another message lands: “We have a terrorist on the stairs. Call someone.”

Hamas gunmen had just begun a day-long rampage through this kibbutz in southern Israel, and over the next 20 hours the women channelled their horror, disbelief and reassurances through the chat – as militants roamed the neighbourhood shooting residents dead and setting fire to homes.

An Upper East Side mom whose daughter was one of 260 people slaughtered by Hamas at a music festival begged Americans who back the terror group’s cause to reconsider.

Hannie Ricardo’s daughter Oriya was gunned down at the Tribe of Nova event, where the terrorists shot into the fleeing crowd, lobbed grenades at concertgoers and took hostages.

First there was Holocaust denial – now there’s a campaign to deny the genocide by Hamas in the ‘second Holocaust.’

While the world may have said ‘never again,’ the sad truth is it is happening again. Slaughter on a massive scale in a savage terror attack that killed more than 1,200 in Israel is unmistakable and unthinkable in its evil.

Pro-Palestinian march draws thousands in London with protests across UK

Pro-Palestinian protests are taking place across the UK, including in London and Manchester.

In London thousands of people gathered outside the BBC’s New Broadcasting House and more than 1,000 police officers have been deployed.

Police warned that anyone showing support for Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation, or deviating from the route, could face arrest.

It comes a week after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel.

Be thankful we are not yet Europe.

On Monday evening, the prime minister and the leader of the Official Opposition shared the stage at a Jewish community centre in Ottawa, where they delivered an unequivocal condemnation of the atrocities committed by Hamas gunmen against men, women and children in southern Israel last weekend.

By the time they spoke, Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre also had both condemned the pro-Hamas sentiment that reportedly was being expressed at some protests and rallies across the country.

That unanimity sent an important signal, even if differences inevitably were going to emerge. Partisanship is never set aside for long. And war is neither easy nor simple.

This is the CBC prepping the public for the fact Justin Trudeau will be kissing Hamas ass for votes before you know it.

“We will not accept the heinous attacks against Israel being celebrated here on our streets,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in his address to the federal parliament, the Bundestag on Thursday. In Berlin, members of the group Samidoun, which describes itself as a Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, had celebrated the Hamas attack against Israel — in which hundreds of Israeli civilians were killed — by handing out sweets.

The left across the West has a Hamas problem.

In their binary worldview of oppressors versus oppressed, many self-proclaimed progressives continued to refuse to call the Iran-backed militia that controls Gaza a terrorist organization – even in the wake of the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust by Hamas militants who, on Oct. 7, massacred hundreds of Israeli civilians and boasted of their gruesome deeds on social media.
