TIME TO DEAL WITH NEO-FASCISM IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES - House Ed. Committee Chair: We’ll Call College Presidents to Testify on Antisemitism, But There Are a Lot of Them

 

Hamas Terrorist: We Shot Crying Children ‘Until We Didn’t Hear Noise Anymore’

A Hamas terrorist who reportedly participated in the horrific attack on Israel last month recently revealed in an interrogation with Israeli intelligence the depraved depths they plunged to that day.

Released Wednesday, the video shows Hamas terrorist Omar Sami Marzuk Abu Rusha telling Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) agents that they were ordered to “kill every person” and then circle back around just to make sure they were dead.

“The mission was simply to kill. We weren’t supposed to kidnap, just kill,” he said. “To kill every person we see and come back.”

Abu Rusha said that they were indeed told to murder women and children with the understanding that “all settlers were soldiers.”

“They told us that all the settlers were soldiers. There were soldiers among them. Kill every single one you see,” he said.

At one point during the six-minute interrogation, Abu Rusha said that when they heard children crying amid the carnage, they fired bullets upon them until the crying ceased.

“We heard sounds of young children,” he said. “The cries of young children. A young child, something like that. I shot and Abu Kamil shot. We shot at the door. Until we didn’t hear noise anymore.”

Hamas terrorists claimed 1,400 Israeli lives during the October 7 attack, most of whom were civilians.

Video also went viral on Wednesday showing several members of the Israel Knesset openly crying after watching a video from the IDF displaying the extent of the carnage.

“Members of the Knesset – Israel’s parliament – were invited to watch a film prepared by the IDF showing the horrific things that took place during the Hamas massacre of October 7th. Many of them could not make it till the end. They left in tears and shock,” said Michael Dickson.

House Ed. Committee Chair: We’ll Call College Presidents to Testify on Antisemitism, But There Are a Lot of Them

On Wednesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” House Committee on Education and the Workforce Chairwoman Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) said that university presidents will be called before the committee to testify on how they’re handling antisemitism and support for Hamas on campus, but also cautioned that “there are so many of them to invite to come up, we’d be having hearings day after day after day on nothing but this issue.”

Host Greta Van Susteren asked, “[B]ack in the early nineties, when people were admitting that there was a health crisis associated with smoking cigarettes, Congress pulled the CEOs of the tobacco companies to Capitol Hill to answer questions. When are the presidents of these universities going to be brought before your committee and answer questions about what they’re doing and not doing to condemn Hamas?”

Foxx responded, “Well, Greta, first of all, they’re not doing enough, we know that. They have allowed this…this has been festering for a long time on the campuses, and it’s broken out more after the October 7 horrendous attacks by Hamas. But these colleges and universities have been in a downward spiral for a long time. They should be bastions of free thinking without any regard to partisan dialogue. It should be a place where students can learn from all sides and make decisions. But that’s not what’s happening. We need these presidents to speak out forcefully and to do the right thing. Antisemitism cannot be tolerated anywhere in this country, and particularly on campuses.”

Van Susteren then said, “But you have the power, Madam Chairwoman, because you pull them up to the Hill and you show their faces to the committee and they answer questions, their feet will be held to the fire. Otherwise, they’re just going to sit and hide in their ivory towers. They’re going to continue to let like 100 professors — who have free speech rights, I get it — at Columbia, write the letter that we reported [on] last night. You actually can — you can ask them to come and face tough questions.”

Foxx responded, “Well, we will do that, Greta. But we are calling them out. We called them out today in a bill that Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) and I co-sponsored along with our colleagues. We’re calling them out every single day on both sides of the aisle.”

Van Susteren then followed up by stating that a bill will take time to pass and she doesn’t know why they won’t question university presidents immediately.

Foxx responded, “Greta, the only problem is, there are so many of them to invite to come up, we’d be having hearings day after day after day on nothing but this issue. We’re going after them, Greta.” Foxx then turned to legislation House Republicans are doing.

Biden Confronts Wave of Antisemitism by Putting Kamala Harris in Charge of Islamophobia

President Joe Biden has found a novel way to fight a dramatic rise in antisemitism since the Hamas terror attack on Israel October 7: putting Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of a new “national strategy on Islamophobia.”

The country has seen a near 400% rise in antisemitic incidents since the start of the war, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

In a video on Twitter/X, Harris said: “As a result of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen an uptick in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, antisemitic, and Islamophobic incidents across America.”

The Biden administration is lumping these separate types of incidents together, as Harris tried to explain:

Harris mentioned an attack in Illinois on a Palestinian-American Muslim woman and her six-year-old son, in which the latter was murdered. She did not mention the wave of antisemitism on college campuses and in American cities, some of which is fueled by Muslim and pro-Palestinian activists.

Nor did Harris mention that Hamas is an Islamic fundamentalist organization, devoted to killing Jews not just in Israel but all over the world, and that mainstream American Muslim and Arab communal organizations have been silent on Hamas.

Harris also claimed that Muslims are affected by a disproportionate number of hate crimes, but anti-Muslim hate crimes are dwarfed by hate crimes against Jews, who are the most frequently targeted group.

That claim echoes a widely-panned response by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Oct. 23, when she responded to a question about antisemitism by talking about Islamophobia. That response came amid concerns that Biden might lose votes in the swing state of Michigan because the U.S. has supported Israel’s war effort.

The bait-and-switch of “fighting” antisemitism by appeasing the Muslim community, rather than protecting Jews, appears to be a pattern in the Democratic Party.

In 2019, when Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) provoked outrage with several antisemitic statements, the Democrat-controlled House did not censure or rebuke her directly, but instead passed a resolution that condemned all forms of hate, including hate against Muslims.

Omar took a victory lap, claiming (falsely) that the resolution marked the first time Congress had condemned anti-Muslim bigotry.

Hamas Terrorist Attack Ignites Open Hatred of Jews Around the World

Hamas terrorists kicked the lid off hell and invaded Israel on October 7 in a barbaric attack that included mass rape, murder, torture, and kidnappings. Ever since from the streets of Berlin, Paris, Rome and on to the very heart of London, New York’s Times Square, and the steps of the Sydney Opera House, there has been a dramatic surge in anti-Jewish hatred.

The Hamas attacks, a pogrom in everything from name to historical definition,  have left Jewish people reeling from a multitude of threats.

Here are just a few of the recent examples of Jews being publicly vilified and in some cases attacked simply for their faith and belief Israel has every right to exist.

Germany

Segments of the Jewish population in Berlin are being forced to consider a question many once thought unthinkable in the wake of the atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi followers and the subsequent promises of “never again” — is it time to leave Germany?

Spiegel International reports testimonies from a host of Jews in the national capital are worried about their futures and those of their families as a rising tide of antisemitism is seen once more to cast a shadow across the city.

In recent days assailants hurled two molotov cocktails at a synagogue in central Berlin and the Star of David was found daubed on the facades of several buildings where Jews live in Berlin.

The attacks have come even as German citizen Shani Louk has been confirmed as a victim of the horrific Hamas attack.

Antisemitic acts have increased sharply in the country amid the latest turmoil in the Middle East, the Federal Association of Research and Information Centres on Anti-Semitism (RIAS) confirmed to AFP.

France

As Breitbart News reported, Stars of David were spray painted on homes in Paris on Tuesday night in what political leaders called a chilling evocation of “the 1930s.”

Some 60 Stars of David were left stenciled on walls in the 14th arrondissement of the French capital as the nation as a whole deals with a rise in antisemitic incidents.

The move recalled the same markings being delivered on Jewish-owned businesses in Berlin which were marked with the Star of David during the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party.

Since the terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel, leading to a war in Gaza, the French Interior Ministry reported nearly 800 anti-Semitic incidents in France.

On Sunday, the French Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti, reported more than 400 arrests for “anti-Semitic acts.”

Australia

Hamas supporters chanted “Gas the Jews” in front of the world-famous Sydney Opera House in the days after the Hamas attack, as recorded in a video shared by the Australian Jewish Association.

The October 9 crowd of several hundred people, mostly immigrant Muslims, also chanted, “Allahu Akbar” (“Allah is Supreme!”) and “Fuck the Jews,” as a line of police passively watched on.

The event was held to celebrate Hamas’ massacre of Jews and its simultaneous attacks on Israeli security forces.

The protesters waved their home country flags, including the flags of Turkey and Lebanon. Some waved the flag adopted by people who identify as Palestinians.

The Australian government warned Jewish people to stay away from the pro-Hamas celebrations.

United Kingdom

Members of the Jewish community in London have been forced to lift security at synagogues, schools, and other community buildings in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attack.

Public facilities have also been targeted by those opposed to the Jewish state and its followers and supporters.

The reason for the increased protection is simple; a corresponding rise in antisemitism rates reported across the UK capital, as Breitbart News reported.

There has been a 1,350 percent jump in hate crimes against Jewish people as the Middle East crisis goes on, the Metropolitan police have said, with no arrests so far in nine out of ten alleged offences.

AFP reports in the period since in London alone, where there have been several large-scale protests in support of Palestinians in Gaza, the Met said it had recorded 408 anti-Semitic offences between October 1 and 27.

That compares to just 28 in the same period last year, the force said on Friday, with several Jewish schools in London forced to shut temporarily.

Russia

The most chilling antisemitic incident globally was the storming of an airport in Russia’s Dagestan region on Sunday by an enraged crowd looking for Jews to attack after a flight arrived from Tel Aviv, as Breitbart News reported.

Rabbi Alexander Boroda, president of Russia’s Federation of Jewish Communities, said in response anti-Israeli sentiment had morphed into open aggression towards Russian Jews.

Shneor Segal, the chief Ashkenazi rabbi of Azerbaijan, said the incident showed “antisemites will use any excuse – the current Middle East crisis being just the latest – to terrorise the dwindling numbers of us that still remain” in the Caucasus.

“And where do they think they are chasing these Jews away to? The very country whose existence is such an abomination to them!” he said, referring to Israel.

The incident comes just days after a similar mob of hundreds of Islamic Dagestan locals ransacked a hotel in the city of Khasavyurt after rumours reportedly emerged on local social media that Israelis had taken up residence in the hotel.

South Africa

Reuters reports in Johannesburg, pro-Palestinian protesters marched to an area with a large Jewish community on Saturday, tearing off pictures of Israeli hostages in Gaza from the perimeter walls of a community centre while a Shabbat service was being held at a nearby synagogue.

There were other protests in the coastal city of Cape Town.

“I feel rage towards the people who are trying to curtail my freedom of religion and my freedom of movement, for the most part based on their antisemitism,” said Akiva Carr, who was in the Johannesburg synagogue when the incident took place.

USA

Antisemitism in the U.S. is reaching “historic levels” in the wake of violence in Israel and Gaza, FBI Director Christopher Wray has warned.

Speaking to a senate panel on Tuesday, the BBC reports Wray said 60 percent of all religious-based hate crimes targeted Jewish people.

He added that the figure had likely increased amid anger caused by the ongoing violence in Gaza.

“This is a threat that is reaching, in some way, sort of historic levels,” Wray told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

He added although Jews make up only about 2.4 percent of the U.S. public, they account for about 60 percent of all religious-based hate crimes.

“The Jewish community is targeted by terrorists really across the spectrum,” he testified.

Just hours before Wray spoke, New York officials questioned a person after threats were made against Jewish pupils at Cornell University.

The Cornell Daily Sun reported students were alerted when violent posts appeared on an online forum from a user named Hamas Soldier with threats “to bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig jews.”

“If I see a pig male Jew, I will stab you and slit your throat,” read one post.

Another post pledged to “bomb a Jewish house in retaliation for the murder of 500 martyrs.”
