In March 2021, there were 12 reported incidences of antisemitic hate crimes in NYC. This past March, there were a total of …
Some Jews have been reluctant, during the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, to mention the bloodcurdling history their ancestors experienced first hand in Ukraine. Ukraine was one of the worst places for a Jew to end up in, throughout history. There were endless pogroms and massacres, such as the Khmelnytsky Uprising of 1648, or Babi …
FBI investigators will be taking a look at who is responsible for leaving antisemitic flyers in driveways in the city of Colleyville. The flyers accuse Jews of causing COVID-19. One flyer, for example, says, “every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish.” In case you’re somehow unaware, on January 15, four congregants of Congregation …
By now, we all know about the Amnesty International report that is full of lies and calls Israel an “Apartheid” state. What a lot of us want to know is why Israel?

In case anyone doubts our story or Jewish history, know that the Iranians do not. Tehran’s representative to the Iranian parliament, Zohreh Lajevardi, referenced the Purim story in an interview with Iran’s Fars News Agency on Sunday: “The Zionist regime is the sworn enemy of Iran and Iranians, and this enmity, without any connection to …
A political cartoon published in the official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, shows a map of “Palestine” superimposed over the entirety of the State of Israel. The cartoon expresses the ideology of the PA that Israel has no right to exist within any borders. The State of Israel is draped over with a Palestinian …
Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) shared a news item from the official Palestinian Authority TV news of June 9, 2021, depicting scouts in Lebanon giving the Nazi salute. The Palestinian Scout Association (PSA), in conjunction with the Fatah movement, organized the event, at which attendees cried, “We will sacrifice our blood for Palestine.” The event took …
Protests were scheduled not just in Paris, but around the world on Sunday, in response to the despicable ruling in the Sarah Halimi case. Sarah Halimi was murdered by Kobili Traoré, a 27-year-old Muslim man, in April 2017. Traoré violently beat his 65-year-old neighbor, screaming “Allahu Akbar” as he threw her out the window of …
