An Indiana University (IU) dean admits its School of Philanthropy “failed in our due diligence” when it invited deported Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) board member Sami Al-Arian to participate in a program about the war on terrorism and its impact on Muslim charities. The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) reported on the panel discussion Dec. 20,…
Every so often, Sami Al-Arian emerges to opine on some domestic issue, reminding us of two things: He’s an inveterate liar who continues to whitewash his years of service to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). And a disappointing number of American academics are willing to ignore that record and treat him as a credible…
You are not going to believe this. During the mid-term elections, advocacy groups gave money – a lot of money – supporting candidates they thought would be good on the issues they care about. It’s shocking, right? The anti-Israel group Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action) seems to think…
If disgraced Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein issued a statement condemning Bill Cosby’s alleged abuse of women, would you take it seriously? I sure hope not. Weinstein is on trial in Los Angeles for alleged rapes after being convicted in 2020 of similar charges in New York. One sexual predator condemning another doesn’t really…
Grace Meng is a five-term U.S. representative from New York and a member of the House Progressive Caucus. She has a 100 percent voting record with Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America. She has a 4 percent voting record with the American Conservative Union. She is not, according to fellow Democratic U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a…
In a hyper-politicized world, it can be easy to forget that two things can be true at once. The New York Times seems to have fallen into that hole Sunday, in an article that largely whitewashed antisemitic activist Linda Sarsour. She is identified as a victim of a Russian troll farm’s 2017 campaign to…
Iran ranks among the world’s greatest destabilizing and oppressive forces. Its nuclear weapons program could one day realize leaders’ oft-stated goal of wiping Israel off the face of the earth. At the least, a nuclear Iran could spark a Middle East arms race. Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic continues to finance terrorist groups – especially…
This story has been updated to add comments made by CAIR. The news was so disturbing it could not go without a comment from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Auburn University’s men’s basketball team was about to embark on a 10-day trip to Israel. They’d play some games and hold…
A Scottsdale Community College professor did not violate his Muslim student’s rights when he taught about religious justification in Islamic terrorism, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district judge’s 2020 ruling dismissing the lawsuit filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on behalf…
“Why not?” Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank asked that simple question last week after the normally publicity-mad Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) told him it had nothing to say about a BDS chapter’s promotion of a “mapping project” condemned as antisemitic and a possible incitement to violence. BDS is the campaign to isolate Israel through…
The hateful and often violent rhetoric prominent at anti-Israel rallies is something we have tracked and documented for years. While participants may claim they are advocating for Palestinian rights, most of the speeches and chants are rooted in rage against the Jewish state and the fact of its existence. Rejecting…
You guys, the Zionists are being so mean to me! All I’ve done is call (repeatedly) for the elimination of the world’s only Jewish state “by any means necessary.” Sure, any means includes violence and terrorism, but I made that sentiment a principal element of my organization “Within Our Lifetime.” And yeah, I…
