All the Radicalisms Combine into One

…Last Thursday I promised you, my readers, that I would never write about activist snot Greta Thunberg again. Now here I am, making a liar out of myself almost immediately. But if you will allow me a brief follow-up, I am disappointed to inform you that, as predicted, the Israeli navy interdicted Thunberg’s “eco-friendly” yacht along with the rest of the Freedom Flotilla without incident, before they reached Gaza. All have been escorted to Israel, where they will be returned to their home countries. Oh well. The Israelis handled the entire affair with professional dispatch and more than a bit of media savvy (all aboard looked appropriately ridiculous). And you know what? I almost regret that, because I was hoping for public humiliation on a grand scale. I was pulling for a memorably karmic conclusion; I would have just let them land in Gaza — and abandoned them to their fate. (“My advice is to head north as fast as you can. I wish you luck with a capital F.”) READ MORE

JPOST Muddling through the ‘Madleen’: How Israel got the better of Greta Thunberg It looks like Israel, for the most part, handled the incident well; and especially in tough times like these, any PR victory must be celebrated, including getting the better of Greta Thunberg.

NEW YORK POST Greta Thunberg and ‘selfie yacht’ pals refused to watch ‘horror film of the Oct. 7 massacre’ Greta Thunberg and other detained activists on her Gaza-bound “selfie yacht” refused to watch a film detailing Hamas’ slaughter of more than 1,000 people in Israel, according to officials. “Greta and her flotilla companions were taken into a room upon their arrival for a screening of the horror film of the October 7 massacre,” Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, said of the group’s arrival in the port of Ashdod after they were detained about 125 miles off the coast Monday. But “when they saw what it was about, they refused to continue watching,” Katz said, according to The Times of Israel.

Trump administration slaps sanctions on four ICC judges over Israel and US cases
Jacob Magid
June 6, 2025

The Trump administration on Thursday imposed sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court who have been involved in proceedings against Israel and the United States. The four judges will be barred from entering the US and their assets in the country will be seized, measures typically used against officials from countries hostile to America. “The United States will take whatever actions we deem necessary to protect our sovereignty, that of Israel, and any other US ally from illegitimate actions by the ICC,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement. “I call on the countries that still support the ICC, many of whose freedom was purchased at the price of great American sacrifices, to fight this disgraceful attack on our nation and Israel,” Rubio said.

YOUTUBE Natasha Hausdorff EXPOSES Their Blood Libel Against Israel In a searing and impassioned speech, renowned British barrister Natasha Hausdorff condemns the United Nations, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for weaponizing international law to unfairly target Israel. Hausdorff argues that legal terms such as “occupation,” “apartheid,” and “genocide” are being deliberately twisted to attack the Jewish state, calling this a modern form of blood libel. She stresses how these biased international institutions, led by corrupt judges, are erasing history and spreading dangerous lies about Israel.

Kerstein: ‘Now that the Free Palestine Nazi movement has unleashed a full-scale terrorist campaign against American Jews, the time has come to argue about how to stop it”

NO DELUSIONS, NO DESPAIR
American Jews, don’t let it happen
Benjamin Kerstein
June 3, 2025

Now that the Free Palestine Nazi movement has made its decision to forgo its façade of “peaceful” protest and unleash a full-scale terrorist campaign against American Jews, it seems time for some kind of reckoning with what is actually happening. Put simply, the American Jewish dream is not quite over, but it is in very serious danger. If something isn’t done—such as a RICO investigation of the Free Palestine Nazis, mass arrests of its criminals, and Jewish organization for self-defense—then it will certainly be over. There is simply no way American Jewish life can continue as it has for nearly 250 years under current circumstances. For example, the other day, I went to a Jewish restaurant and saw security guards there for the first time. This would have been literally unthinkable a year ago. READ MORE

JNS Micha Danzig: The shots heard round the world Every antisemitic attack, the Passover firebombing of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home during his family’s Passover dinner, the recent murders of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., and this week’s firebombing attack in Boulder, Colo., which injured 12 people at a march to bring awareness to Israeli hostages still in Gaza, is preceded by words. Poisonous, malicious, libelous words. When these lies are spread, they plant seeds of hatred that too often end in violence. From ancient times to the Holocaust, antisemitic libels have fueled atrocities—from the expulsion of Jews from England in 1290 to the systematic genocide of the 6 million Jews during World War II. Today, the same pattern persists, but with a shift in focus toward Israel.

Israel has been arming a criminal gang in the Gaza Strip as part of an effort to strengthen opposition to Hamas in the enclave, defense sources confirmed on Thursday following remarks on the matter by former defense minister Avigdor Liberman. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later confirmed the report, saying the move helped save Israeli soldiers’ lives…The group in question, which is sometimes described as a militia and sometimes as a criminal gang, is led by Yasser Abu Shabab, a member of a large clan in southern Gaza. It has been linked in the past to smuggling operations with Egyptian Jihadist groups…READ MORE

He was responding to the controversy about the agency providing weapons to such groups under orders from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

How a coalition of Philadelphia extremists aim to undermine America and fuel antisemitism

CANARY MISSION
Philadelphia’s Network of Hate
June 4, 2025

Amid the proliferation of antisemitism, anti-Americanism and extremism that disseminated across America after Hamas’ October 7, 2023 massacre of Israelis, Philadelphia stands out as a major center of concern. In this report, Canary Mission uncovers and analyzes the deeper reasons for the anti-Israel fervor that overtook the city…What we discovered was a disturbing strategy conceived by activists to turn the city into a hub of antisemitism, where support for terror was normalized. The plan used by Philadelphia’s anti-Israel/antisemitic activists involved activating three areas of civil society: Community groups and political actors, University students and professors and K-12 students and educators.

“Mohamed didn’t attack elderly Jews with a gun, but with fire, because he wanted them to suffer more. Like ISIS, he wanted the world to witness a horrifying spectacle in Allah’s name.”

He Set a Holocaust Survivor On Fire for Allah
Daniel Greenfield
June 6, 2025

…This was not just terrorism and it was not just antisemitism. It was Islamic terrorism. Mohamed Soliman was a devout Muslim who following the teachings of his religion tried to murder a group of elderly people in the most horrifying way possible. He was a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group whose branches encompass ISIS, Al Qaeda, CAIR and most political Islamist groups in America, and which is long overdue to be banned in the United States. Mohamed is only one man. If we have learned anything in the past decades, it’s that there is a never-ending supply of Mohameds who will go on running over Americans with cars, planting bombs, opening fire with guns, attacking with machetes and waging war on us in Allah’s name.

He said that key Senate Republicans have appeared amenable to that request and called the administration’s proposal for flat funding for the program a nonstarter.

Zohran Mamdani ripped for refusing to recognize Israel as Jewish state: ‘Dangerous point of view’

June 5, 2025

Jewish leaders condemned Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani Thursday for his repeated refusals to recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state — slamming it as a disqualifying and “dangerous” point of view. “It’s more than problematic,” said Joseph Potasnik, executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis. “Jews see this as a dividing line. “There are 22 Arab Muslim states,” Potasnik noted. “In Mamdani’s world, there isn’t room for one Jewish state. He doesn’t want a Jewish State.” READ MORE

A key campaign ally of his is Linda Sarsour, among the most infamous and virulent anti-Semites in the modern history of New York City politics.

From France, A Fresh Warning About Islamism
Ilan Berman
June 3, 2025

Not all that long ago, warnings about a creeping Islamist infiltration in Europe were widely ridiculed as conspiracy theories or, worse, “Islamophobia.” In previous years, when politicians like Geert Wilders of the Netherlands and Britain’s Michael Gove, or authors like France’s Michel Houellebecq raised alarms about the growing prevalence of political Islam on the Continent, they were routinely dismissed as cranks, alarmists, or simply as racists. These days, though, such concerns are getting harder to refute. Just ask the French. Last month, a new government report caused a national firestorm when it concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s most influential Islamist movement, is trying to penetrate the country and subvert its institutions.  READ MORE

But that’s exactly what it did a couple of weeks ago, when a classified report from the Ministry of the Interior leaked to the newspaper Le Figaro. The 73-page document, marked confidentiel-défense, was meant for top officials only.

US diplomacy in the shadow of Qatar

Has Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s appointed special U.S. Middle East envoy, been incontrovertibly corrupted by Qatar? The question is prompted by the stench of the proposed ceasefire with Hamas that was announced on May 29. Even though Hamas has been reduced to a toothless shell, the deal would have Israel agreeing to a ceasefire for 60 days and then withdrawing from strategic territory that it paid for, inch by inch, with the precious blood of Israeli soldiers and the broken hearts of the Israeli people. Paid for during a defensive war that definitively spoke to the most heinous violations of Western civilization since the Holocaust. READ MORE

FOUNDATION FOR DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACIES Qatar keeps purchasing political influence In 2017, Qatar dispatched lobbyists to build opposition against the Palestinian International Terrorism Support and Prevention Act, which identified Qatar as a sponsor of Hamas. Materials distributed by Qatari agents warned that the bill “erroneously and unfairly” targeted Qatar and had the potential to “chill the robust economic relationship between the U.S. and Qatar.” Whether because of Qatar’s efforts or not, the legislation never passed. Qatar’s efforts have continued amid the war in Gaza. Disclosures submitted to the U.S. Justice Department indicate that lobbyists on Qatar’s payroll engaged with offices in the House and Senate over 285 times between October 2023 and April 2024 on the issue of Qatar’s role in hostage negotiations.

Last year, Northwestern president Michael Schill struck a deal with radical student groups, including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), to end their encampment, agreeing to recruit two Palestinian professors and provide full rides to five students from Gaza.
