A New York City public school is facing allegations of “Jewish erasure” due to a map displayed in one of its classrooms that excludes Israel from the Middle East countries, instead labeling it as “Palestine.” The Free Press said it was given access to a photograph of this map, which was found in the art classroom of PS 261, a public elementary school located in Brooklyn. The classroom is used by Rita Lahoud to provide lessons to pre-K and elementary students as part of the “Arab Culture Arts” program, funded by Qatar Foundation International (QFI). QFI is the American arm…

The complaint seeks an injunction to stop Harvard from violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Harvard University graduate students who were caught on film accosting and shoving a Jewish classmate during an anti-Israel “die-in” protest remain in good standing with the school, with one of the assailants avoiding discipline altogether, according to a lawsuit. The complaint, which was filed Wednesday afternoon, accuses the Ivy League institution of failing to combat “outrageous antisemitic conduct” and ignoring “Jewish students’ pleas for protection.” Cited as an example is the Oct. 18 “die-in” protest held outside Harvard Business School,…

WASHINGTON (JNS) – U.S. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Wednesday told CNN‘s Jake Tapper that the popular social media app TikTok is distorting Americans’ perception of the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Tapper, who is Jewish, had asked Fetterman—who is not, but has been one of the most vocal Zionists in Congress of late—about a New York Times/Siena College poll which found that 72% of registered voters aged 18 to 29 disapprove of the way U.S. President Joe Biden is handling the Israel-Palestine conflict. Why do so many younger people, especially Democrats, see Israel differently from…

In a confidential memo addressed to partner law enforcement agencies, the FBI’s Assistant Director Cathy Milhoan disclosed that a recent string of swatting incidents targeting Jewish institutions across the nation was likely a coordinated effort by a group operating outside the United States. The memo, obtained by ABC News, highlighted that nearly 200 Jewish organizations were affected over the weekend. Milhoan’s letter said, “At this time, based on similar language and specific email tradecraft used, it appears the perpetrators of these threats are connected. Additionally, these threats appear to be originating from outside of the United States.” She further assured,…

NEW YORK (VINnews) — A Wall Street Journal editorial claims that Israel is intentionally endangering its soldiers more than previously in order to placate President Biden. Recently Biden has severely criticized the Israeli government, going as far as stating that the government “must change.” The WSJ says that Biden should be looking instead for change among the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, 82% of whom believe Hamas’s murderous attack on Oct. 7th was legitimate, according to local pollsters. Hamas is now hugely popular in these regions, and the goal of eradicating Hamas must include the eradication of the national dreams…

Netanyahu has rejected a proposal that the Palestinian Authority rule Gaza after the war and insisted that Israel have full security control in Gaza. On Monday night, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant spoke at a joint press conference in Tel Aviv with the US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin during which Gallant insisted there would be no timetable set for the war and Austin urged a two-state solution. Although the Biden Administration has been urging Israel to enter into a new, less-intense phase of the war by the beginning of January 2024, in his remarks during the press conference, Gallant…

With his praise, John Kirby seemingly walked back President Biden’s Tuesday comment that the IDF is “indiscriminately bombing” the Gaza Strip. U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby praised Israel’s military Wednesday for protecting Gazan civilians more than almost any other army would, including America itself. Referring to a grid of the Gaza Strip that the IDF issued two weeks ago that divided the enclave into hundreds of mini-combat zones so that it could warn those who live in specific areas to flee before its forces enter to clear them of Hamas terrorists, Kirby told journalists, “They have published online…
