Jewish Student Runs for his Life in UCLA ... Security Watches and Does Absolutely Nothing
This is why we need a Jewish Army ...
Universities Make Concessions to Pro-Hamas Demonstrators
At least two elite American universities have made concrete concessions to anti-Israel protesters who set up illegal “encampments” on school property, chanted antisemitic slogans, and vowed not to leave unless administrators agreed to adopt the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state.
For the past two weeks, college students have been amassing in the hundreds at a growing number of schools, taking over sections of campuses by setting up “Gaza Solidarity Encampments” and refusing to leave unless administrators condemn and boycott Israel. Footage of the protests has shown demonstrators chanting in support of Hamas, calling for the destruction of Israel, and even threatening to harm members of the Jewish community on campus. In many cases, activists have also lambasted the US and Western civilization more broadly.
The protests initially erupted across the US but have since spread to university campuses around the world, primarily in the West.
According to an announcement issued by Northwestern University in Illinois after hours of negotiations with the protesters, the school has agreed to establish a new scholarship for Palestinian undergraduates, contact potential employers of students who caused recent campus disruptions to insist on their being hired, and create a segregated dormitory hall to be occupied exclusively by Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and Muslim students. Northwestern University — where a mob shouted “Kill the Jews!” as part of the ongoing protests — has also agreed to form a new investment committee in which anti-Zionists students and faculty may wield an outsized voice.
On Tuesday, meanwhile, Brown University in Rhode Island announced that it will hold a vote on divesting from companies linked to Israel in exchange for the students disassembling their encampment and abstaining from holding more protests until the school’s commencement on May 26, according to the Brown Daily Herald. The student newspaper added, however, that the university will not “at this time” drop criminal charges filed against 41 students who illegally occupied an administrative building in December.
A German soldier looted postcards from doomed Lublin Yeshiva in Poland. 80 years later, his granddaughter brought them back

Before World War II, Lublin was a vibrant center of Jewish culture in Poland dating back to the 16th century. A large share of the city was always Jewish, roughly one-third — or 40,000 people — when the Nazis invaded. The Lublin Yeshiva opened in 1930, led by Rabbi Meir Shapiro, and lasted only nine years. In its brief life it became one of the world’s largest Jewish religious schools and boasted a library of between 15,000 and 40,000 religious books, among them some of the earliest manuscripts in print.
The Nazis turned Lublin into a center of mass extermination, killing 99% of its Jews and eradicating symbols of Jewish culture. Although the broad yellow structure of the yeshiva remained, used as an office by the German army, its vast library disappeared. The destruction was so effective, leaving so few traces of the yeshiva’s documentation, that even how its books vanished has remained a subject of speculation. For decades, a popular theory said they went up in flames at a Nazi book burning.
Lauren Boebert Tries to Tear Down Palestinian flag Draped over George Washington Statue "This Sh_T Needs to Come Down"

Boebert visited the college campus with her fellow GOP politicians, James Comer, Byron Donalds, and Anna Paulina Luna.
But the hostile reception didn't deter Boebert from making her stance known to protesters.
"This is America, and that shit needs to come down," Boebert told protesters as she tried to remove a Palestinian flag that was draped over a statue of George Washington.
"It's not your property," a man told Boebert.
Boebert later threatened to cut the university's funding if the protesters weren't stopped.
"If they don't want to do something to address this? Well, then kiss your federal funding goodbye," Boebert said while using a loudhailer.
Boebert isn't the only GOP politician who has tangled with pro-Palestinian protesters on American college campuses.
House Speaker Mike Johnson was booed and heckled by students when he visited Columbia University last month. Johnson called for the resignation of the university's president, Minouche Shafik, after the Ivy League institution was rocked by protests over Israel's war in Gaza.
On Tuesday evening, officers from the New York Police Department entered the university in riot gear and detained dozens of protesters.
Johnson's and Boebert's calls to crack down on protesters expose a growing rift between the GOP and American colleges over their handling of protests on campus.
"The rise of antisemitism in America and especially on college campuses is abhorrent and disgusting," Boebert wrote in an X post on Wednesday.
Matt Gaetz Slams ‘Ridiculous’ Anti-Semitism Bill Passed by the House ‘Without Regard for the Constitution’
DIN: Matt Gaetz brings up an interesting point.
He says in his tweet that “The Gospel itself would meet the definition of antisemitism under the terms of this bill,”
I have news for Matt, the Gospel is in fact antisemitic and the cause of much of the death and chaos in the world!
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) slammed an anti-Semitism bill approved by the House on Wednesday, claiming it has no “regard for the Constitution.”
On Wednesday, lawmakers in the House passed the Antisemitism Awareness Act by a vote of 320-91. The legislation, which was introduced by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), will be sent to the Senate for a vote.
Although the bill was passed with bipartisan support, a small group of progressive Democrats and hardline Republicans opposed it by claiming it would interfere with free speech.
Gaetz told his followers on X, formerly Twitter, that he voted “no” against the legislation because it is a “ridiculous hate speech bill.”
“Antisemitism is wrong, but this legislation is written without regard for the Constitution, common sense, or even the common understanding of the meaning of words,” he wrote.
“The Gospel itself would meet the definition of antisemitism under the terms of this bill,” he added. The bill says the definition of antisemitism includes ‘contemporary examples of antisemitism’ identified by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). One of those examples includes: ‘…claims of Jews killing Jesus…'”
Gaetz concluded, “The Bible is clear. There is no myth or controversy on this. Therefore, I will not support this bill.”
The House passed the legislation amidst nationwide pro-Palestine protests across dozens of college campuses in recent days, leading to the arrest of hundreds of demonstrators. Democrats and Republicans have denounced the protesters for the use of pro-Hamas chants.

Chabad infiltrates Pro-Hamas Rallies
During clashes between anti-Israel protesters and pro-Israel counter-protesters on Tuesday night at UCLA in California, one flag held by a counter-protester caught the eye of many.
The bright yellow flag was not that of Israel nor of the PLO, and not even the flag of the Hezbollah organization, which is similar in color. Rather the flag flown by the pro-Israel counter-protester was the yellow "Moshiach" (messiah) flag of the Chabad Hassidic movement.
A video that has gone viral on the internet shows a CBS News reporter's reaction to the fl the flag, which he had never seen in the past.
"The first I've seen of this, I've never seen this flag before, or this logo. I don't know if that's what this group is. We've been trying to get a clear view of what that says," the reporter pondered aloud to the viewers.
Many on social media were surprised that the reporter was unfamiliar with the flag, being that members of the Chabad movement fly it across the world, including the US.
'US troops at Gaza pier will fire back if Fired Upon
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that American troops may be fired at by terrorists in the Gaza Strip as they work to build a pier off the Gaza coast to facilitate the provision of more humanitarian aid into the Strip and would be allowed to return fire in the event of such attacks.
Speaking before the House Armed Services Committee yesterday (Tuesday), Austin said that it is "possible" that the American servicemen working on the pier could be attacked while in the course of their duties.
“Typically, all of the deployed service members carry guns, and they have the ability to protect themselves if challenged," he told the lawmakers.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) asked, "So if someone from land, and Gaza, shoots at our service members who are on the $320 million pier that we’re building, you’re telling me our service members can shoot back?"
Austin responded, "They have the right to return fire to protect themselves."
The Defense Secretary reiterated that American troops would not have "boots on the ground" in Gaza despite being present at the pier.
Senior Hamas Khalil al-Hayya has threatened to attack any foreign forces stationed in the area of the pier. “We categorically reject any non-Palestinian presence in Gaza, whether at sea or on land, and we will deal with any military force present in these places, Israeli or otherwise … as an occupying power," al-Hayya said.
Terrorists in Gaza have already attacked the pier. Last Wednesday, US officials confirmed that terrorists had fired mortars at the pier, damaging equipment and injuring one person.
Rep. Gaetz called the Secretary's remarks a "very telling moment."
“Shots from Gaza, on our service members, and then the response – our armed service members shooting live fire into Gaza – that is a possible outcome here so that we can become the Port Authority and run this pier,“ Gaetz said.

Alarming!! Drone footage reveals that pro-Hamas students are being trained in hand-to-hand combat at the UCLA encampment.
CHAOS IN THE UNITED STATES

A Neveilah is better than Talmud Chacham that doesn't have Nice Character !
תלמיד חכם שאין בו מידות, נבילה יפה הימנו
Below is a video of Rav Sneh speaking in Yiddish about "rebbelich" and "talmeide chachamim" that make dumb comments and are disconnected and clueless! He called them "neveilas"
But below that is a letter that I translated from the Hebrew about the Chief Rabbi of Israel.
Translated from the Hebrew letter to an editor below
Our friends are being burned nearby, and some are murdered.
Others were injured. One loses an arm, another a leg, a third has lost sight. Horrible screams. Fear of death. A dark black Gaza night, the rescue is delayed and the shooting continues. Post-trauma will also last a lifetime.
I read shocking and detailed testimonies from the battlefield in Gaza, and in the process an article pops up with new pearls from Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef.
The man claims that
"13,000 missiles were thrown at us, and we were saved only thanks to Torah learners"...
And now the question arises:
Why is the Torah good to save us from Iranian missiles, but not good to save us from the rabbi's stupidity?
Well, there is Torah and there is Torah.
There is a Torah that supports the world, and there is a Torah that does damage to the world!
The Torah of the "Merchant of Halacha" who wears a golden robe under his father's reputation and is on the payroll of taxpayers, belongs to the second category.
And to all those who are horrified by my words, I will say that the fact that the man accumulated a lot of Torah knowledge throughout his life does not make him holy and certainly does not grant him immunity from criticism.
It was precisely for people like him that the nickname "Chamor Nosei Sefarim" was intended, and it was precisely for people like him that the Sages said,

חברים נשרפים בסמוך, חלק נהרגו. אחרים נפצעו. אחד מאבד יד, אחר רגל, שלישי איבד את הראייה.. צרחות אימים. פחד מוות. לילה עזתי חשוך ושחור, החילוץ מתמהמה והירי נמשך. גם הפוסט טראומה תימשך לכל החיים.
קורא עדויות מזעזעות ומפורטות משדה הקרב בעזה, ותוך כדי קופצת כתבה ובה פנינים חדשות מפי הרב הראשי יצחק יוסף. האיש טוען ש"13,000 טילים זרקו עלינו, וניצלנו רק בזכות לומדי התורה"... ועתה נשאלת השאלה: מדוע אותה תורה טובה כדי להציל אותנו מהטילים האיראניים, אך לא טובה כדי להציל אותנו מטיפשותו של הרב?
ובכן, יש תורה ויש תורה. יש תורה שהיא קיום העולם ויש תורה שהיא נזק לעולם. התורה של סוחר ההלכות שהולבש שימלה מוזהבת בחסות קומבינות של אביו ובאדיבות משלם המיסים, שייכת לקטגוריה השנייה.
ולכל המזועזעים מדבריי אומר שהעובדה שהאיש אגר לאורך חייו הרבה ידע תורני לא הופכת אותו לקדוש, ובוודאי לא מקנה לו חסינות מביקורת. בדיוק לאנשים כמוהו יועד הכינוי "חמור נושא ספרים", ובדיוק על אנשים כמוהו אמרו חז"ל "תלמיד חכם שאין בו מידות, נבילה יפה הימנו"..

Where the hell are the parents of these deluded Columbia students chanting about attacking Jews?

| Tent Cities Across the USA College Campuses |
By Piers Morgan
It costs around $90,000 a year to attend Columbia University.
Most undergraduates do four years of studying there, which means that if they’re not getting any subsidized grants, their parents are coughing up a total of $360,000 just for their tuition, housing, food and books.
Add in other expenses like travel, and Mommy and Daddy won’t be getting much change out of $400,000.
That’s a lot of money.
But those parents would doubtless consider it a price worth paying to give their child what is supposedly one of the best educations in the world at such a supposedly elite institution with a supposedly world-class reputation.
I use the “supposedly” because Columbia has now proved itself to be none of those things.
Instead, it’s become a disgraceful hotbed of toxic terrorism-supporting insanity and its lunatic students have literally taken over the asylum.
The increasingly disturbing situation on Columbia’s campus exploded last night in shocking and shameful scenes as a violent mob broke into one of the university’s historic buildings, then brandished a banner with the word “INTIFADA.”
As if there were any doubt about their intentions, they brazenly harassed and intimidated Jewish students, holding some against their will.
Another of the mob’s banners demanded a “Liberation Education,” which is ironic because these morons are hopefully going to get a harsh lesson in a real-world education on the legal repercussions of committing crimes like trespass, property damage, assault and false imprisonment.
But as I’ve watched this escalating mayhem, one thought has kept recurring to me:
Where the hell are their parents?
How could anyone be happy or proud of their child abandoning their hugely expensive tuition to be part of a self-styled intifada against Jews?
IDF recommends: Cancel Lag Ba'omer events in Meron
Three weeks before the Lag Ba'omer holiday, the IDF has recommended that the Israeli government cancel Lag Ba'omer events in Meron this year - completely.
Yediot Aharonot reported that the recommendation was made at the conclusion of a series of discussions held by the IDF's Northern Command and Home Front Command over the past several weeks, and in accordance with updated situational assessments.
The recommendation was made in light of the escalation by Hezbollah, and the missiles fired towards the Meron area from the direction of Lebanon, which render holding even small gatherings potentially dangerous.
Over the past several months, Hezbollah terrorists have fired hundreds of rockets and missiles towards Northern Command bases in the Meron area, and the IDF estimates that this situation is unlikely to change. The missiles do not always hit their targets, and in some cases, civilians are injured or killed.
If the recommendation is adopted, the site would be declared a closed military zone for the duration of Lag Ba'omer, and police and IDF soldiers will enforce the decision, preventing entry to the site.
Approximately one month ago, following an IDF recommendation, an event marking the passing of Moses, scheduled to be held at Mount Meron, was canceled.
"In accordance with the updated operational situational assessment, the IDF recommended to the relevant parties that the events marking the passing of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, to be held on Mount Meron on May 25-26, 2024, be canceled. There are no additional changes in the guidelines for the home front."
