Time for American Jews to Come Home! Gallop Poll Says that Among DemonRats Just 21% say they sympathize with Israelis, while 59% sympathize with Palestinians.

 


Fewer than half of Americans sympathize more with Israelis than with Palestinians, according to a new Gallup poll, the lowest figure for Israelis since at least 2001.

The poll, published Thursday, found that 46% of respondents sympathize more with Israelis while 33% sympathize more with Palestinians.

The 13-point gap is also the smallest since at least 2001. That year, 51% of respondents sympathized more with Israelis, but only 16% sympathized more with Palestinians.

Sympathy for Israelis has dropped in the past few years, as Israel has been led by a hardline right-wing government and, since the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, fought a war against the terror group in Gaza.

Thursday’s poll was taken in February, spanning the time when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington, D.C. and President Donald Trump proposed a US takeover of the Gaza Strip, which Netanyahu endorsed.

A decade ago, 62% of respondents sympathized more with Israelis, compared to 16% with the Palestinians. In 2022, the gap was 55% to 26%.

Among Democrats, the drop this year was even starker, with the Palestinians receiving more sympathy by a wide margin: Just 21% say they sympathize more with Israelis, while 59% sympathize more with Palestinians.

That’s a considerable shift from 2022, when Democrats’ sympathies were about even at 40% for Israelis vs. 38% for Palestinians. Last year, it was 43% for Palestinians vs. 38% for Israelis. Polls taken more than a decade ago show Democratic sympathies lying more with Israelis by wide margins.

Thursday’s number dovetails with a Gallup poll released in late February that found just 33% of Democrats have a favorable view of Israel, compared with 83% of Republicans.

This week’s poll found that Republican sympathies with Israelis have remained relatively steady, at 75% vs. 10% for Palestinians. Among independents, the Israeli-Palestinian split was 42% to 34%.

The poll also found that 55% of Americans, and majorities of Democrats and independents, support the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Among Republicans, support for a Palestinian state was at 41%.

The poll also found that just 40% of respondents approve of the way President Donald Trump is handling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Trump Cancels $400M in Grants to Columbia Over Failure to Protect Jewish Students

 

The federal government has canceled approximately $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University, citing the school’s failure to address persistent harassment of Jewish students. The Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Education (ED), and the General Services Administration (GSA) announced the decision Friday, warning that more cancellations may follow.

Columbia, which holds over $5 billion in federal grant commitments, was notified on March 3 that its funding would be reviewed due to ongoing Title VI civil rights investigations. Officials say the university has failed to act, allowing chaos and anti-Semitic harassment to persist on campus.

“Since October 7, Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-Semitic harassment – only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them,” said Education Secretary Linda McMahon. “Universities must comply with federal anti-discrimination laws to receive federal funding.”

The Trump administration has pledged to revoke funding from institutions that fail to protect students from anti-Semitic harassment. Senior DOJ official Leo Terrell called the funding freeze “just the beginning,” emphasizing that the government will not support institutions that neglect Jewish students’ safety.

GSA will assist in issuing stop-work orders on Columbia’s federal contracts, effectively freezing the university’s access to these funds. Federal officials say this move serves as a warning to all universities receiving taxpayer dollars: failure to combat anti-Semitism will have consequences.

Trump Says "All Palestinians in Gaza Support Hamas"

 

President Trump remarked today regarding Palestinian civilians during a recent presser. 

Trump stated that Israeli hostages who were held in Gaza told him they encountered no kindness from any Palestinians they met, claiming they were “slapped and punched.” 

Trump went further, suggesting that “they are all Hamas in Gaza,” implying widespread support in Gaza for the terrorist group.

UCLA Medical Students THOMAS ISSA & ZEENA MESTARI GLORIFY Murder of Jews

 


 Meet Udonne Eke-Okoro, who thinks "terrorism" & rape can be justified

New York Times, August 31, 1929: "Arabs Burn City of Safed; 22 Killed; Scores Wounded."

 

Isra Hirsi, Ilhan Omar’s daughter front and center at the violent takeover of Barnard library yesterday.

 

What??? The Exact Same Speech? Who wrote this crap for them?

 

Worse Than Murder!


 Liel was burned alive on #October7th.

Some of her belongings were buried in place of a proper burial.

An archaeologist later uncovered her remains-not far from her home. A 12-year-old girl, reduced to ashes, had to be found in the dirt. Worse than her murder? The world's indifference.
Because she was Jewish.💔

‘They’re all traitors’: Gazans slam lack of support from Arab countries and embrace Trump relocation plan


 A Palestinian teacher struggling to rebuild his life amid the rubble in Gaza said he has no faith in Hamas to help him and his family, and is not counting on the Arab world to come to the defense of the Palestinians anytime soon.

Instead, Marwan, 37, told The Post in an exclusive interview that he is relying on the US and European countries to help the devastated Gaza Strip after two years of war with Israel. In fact, he supports the idea of relocation — a plan President Trump has proposed.

“The first victim of Hamas is the Palestinian people,” said Marwan, who refused to provide his last name or any other details of his life, citing fears of retaliation from Hamas terrorists. “My message to the world is, don’t think that we are all Hamas

Marwan said he and his family fled to the southern part of Gaza during the recent war and, when they recently returned to their home, they found it almost completely destroyed.

“Only two rooms were standing,” he told The Post, adding that he and 19 other displaced members of his extended family now live in those rooms.

Marwan spoke to The Post in a telephone interview that was organized and translated from Arabic by the Center for Peace Communications, a New York-based nonprofit that has collected interviews with activists resisting totalitarian regimes in Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries.

In 2023, the group released a collection of interviews with Gazans who are against Hamas, the terrorist group that launched the October 7 attack against Israel that same year, killing 1,200 Israelis and taking 250 hostages.

In a video shared exclusively with The Post, other Gaza residents expressed frustration with their Arab neighbors, who they say have not done much to help them — ever.

“Based on our experience … from past wars, unfortunately the Arab League hasn’t provided anything except for some countries offering humanitarian and charitable assistance,” said one man in the video, which CPC said was shot in the last two weeks in Gaza.

“They’re all traitors,” said another man on the video, referring to Arab countries. “They’re all cheats. Only God stood with us, not Arab states, not Algeria, not Tunisia, not Egypt.”

Last month, Jordan’s King Abdullah agreed to take 2,000 sick children from Gaza at the urging of President Trump. On Tuesday, 29 children arrived in the country, according to reports.

Marwan said he believes the only way to save the Gaza Strip is to evacuate its residents to “a country that works,” to begin the process of rebuilding. He said he supports Trump’s vision of a rebuilt “Gaza Riviera” or a city-state like Singapore, as long as whoever comes in respects the property rights of the people of Gaza.

Joseph Braude, founder and president of CPC, said Trump’s call to allow Gazans to emigrate would be welcomed by many Gazan civilians seeking a safe place to live.

“Those who denigrate Trump’s proposal as a call for ‘ethnic cleansing’ ignore the urgent pleas of Gazans to be granted refuge from Hamas brutality and the horrors of war,” he said in a statement. “No plan to rebuild Gaza is viable without the removal of Hamas — a root cause of suffering for Israelis and Gazans alike — as well as freedom of movement for the many civilians in Gaza who choose to pursue a better life elsewhere.” 

Marwan agreed.

“Nobody likes Hamas in Gaza,” he said, describing how the terrorist group steals the majority of foreign aid meant for local residents and sells much of it on the black market. “People are fed up with them because they are so corrupt.”

And he said he has a message for campus protestors who continue to support the terrorist group in the US.

“They are fooled by Hamas,” he said. “I was very disappointed with people. If you are pro Hamas, you are anti the Palestinian people. You have to differentiate between the two. We would one day like to speak to [protesters] to educate them about what is really going on.”

He also noted that Palestinians who are against Hamas do not have the luxury of protesting.

“If you go and speak out, they think nothing of killing you. One bullet is equal to one person,” Marwan said. “Nobody in Gaza likes Hamas.”
