I unequivocally would like to see that justice is pursued for the destruction of city property and I fully denounce this disgustingly vile attempt to normalize hate as an acceptable form of public expression. It's not acceptable and will not be tolerated,

Penn has worked diligently to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish life on campus. We have cooperated extensively with the EEOC, providing over 100 documents, totaling nearly 900 pages; however, we have not turned over to the government lists of Jewish employees, Jewish student employees and those associated with Jewish organizations, or their personal contact information. Violating their privacy and trust is antithetical to ensuring Penn's Jewish community feels protected and safe, a Penn spokesperson said.

France's government is taking action against Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok after it generated French-language posts that questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz and listed Jewish public figures. Grok, built by Musk company xAI and integrated into his social media platform X, said in a widely shared post in French that claimed gas chambers at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp were designed for disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus rather than for mass murder.

Multiple members of the football team participated in a brief, approximately 90-second prank against a freshman student, While the freshman was using a urinal in a communal bathroom, with his back to the door, students closed the door, moved a bench in front of it, threw ice into the bathroom, and sprayed a few bursts of disinfectant into the open area above the door.

Five days a week, thousands of fans gather online to watch Nick Fuentes hold court about the dangers of non-white immigration, feminism and organized Jewry. Usually dressed in a dark suit and tie, he lectures to his far-right followers, known as Groypers, about what he argues is the insufficient radicalism of Donald Trump's Republican party and what he describes as the perfidies of the state of Israel and its American supporters.

Investigators at San Jose State University are calling in the FBI about graffiti on campus threatening a mass shooting. The university doesn't believe there's a credible threat but given what's happened lately, students are understandably alarmed. San Jose State's provost says someone found the graffiti Tuesday in an academic building. It included antisemitic and racist slurs. The campus police department is trying to identify the person who made the graffiti. There will be extra officers on campus in the coming days.

You have TikTok just smashing our young people's brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza, and this is why so many of us can't have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything that we try to say to them, they're hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they're just seeing in their minds carnage, and I sound obscene.

When you have top podcasters saying Jewish Americans are disloyal, saying Trump is controlled by Jews, saying Jews need to self deport to Israel, Gen Z glorifying Hitler and doing Seig Hiels all over Tik Tok, @TuckerCarlson infiltrating movements to say the people who killed Jesus killed Charlie Kirk at Charlie's memorial, and acceptance of videos portraying Jews as cockroaches,

demanded that comedian Seth Meyers get fired from his late-night television show. But he had nothing bad to say about two people roiling his party: white nationalist Nick Fuentes and conservative commentator Tucker Carlson. The former Fox News host recently hosted Fuentes for a friendly interview, where he declined to challenge his guest's bigoted beliefs or a remark about problems with "organized Jewry in America."

In rulings issued in late October, the Department of Education also criticized the district for taking more than a year, longer than the 60 days allowed, to respond to Jewish families' complaints of antisemitism, and also for violating state law by declining to turn over reports of its investigations that could have shed light on the district's conclusions.

John Bryan claimed in a statement on Facebook that his messages were 'intended to be humour', adding that the media made them into something they weren't

On Sunday, Massie posted a photo of Adelson and wrote, Israeli citizen Miriam Adelson bought the Dallas Mavericks for $3.5 billion; now she's buying politicians. She's spending millions in Kentucky to buy Ed Gallrein, my primary opponent, a Congressional seat in Kentucky. Why? Because I won't vote to send your tax dollars overseas. Miriam Adelson is a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and the widow of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.

No, I don't. That's not a conservative ideology at all. That's a hateful rhetoric that's inconsistent with even the United States Constitution, not just inconsistent with the Republican Party, Lankford said. So no, that's not who we are. He continued: The Republican Party and conservatism has stood up for decades and decades for all individuals. If you want to trace back our lineage, it goes all the way back to George Washington,

Tensions over the Israel-Hamas war have spilled into schools around the U.S., with advocates reporting a rise in antisemitic harassment since the 2023 surprise attack on Israel. While some argue school leaders have failed to take the threat seriously, others warn criticism of Israel and the military campaign in Gaza are interpreted too often as hate speech. The Trump administration has not punished school systems the way it has hit colleges accused of tolerating antisemitism, but schools are still facing pressure to respond more aggressively.

No question, antisemitism is real, resurgent and too often conflated with criticism of the Israeli government as it has destroyed Gaza to root out Hamas. But it beggars belief that the Trump administration is sincere when it demands UCLA pay the government more than $1 billion because, as it alleges, the school failed to protect Jewish students during pro-Palestinian protests in 2024, and engages in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices. This is extortion, pure and simple.

The Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Issouf Sissokho urged his teammates to make their supporters smile against Aston Villa, after away fans were banned from the politically charged Europa League match on Thursday. The Israeli club's fans were prohibited from attending on public safety grounds but, despite the ban, West Midlands police have been granted section 60 stop-and-search powers and plan to deploy more than 700 officers around Villa Park to cope with protests and potential unrest.
