The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Australia targeting a Jewish celebration. Antisemitism has no place in this world. Our prayers are with the victims of this horrific attack, the Jewish community, and the people of Australia.

After years of anti-Israel protests in Australia, at least 11 Jews were just gunned down at a Hanukkah event. Tree of Life to 10/07 to Bondi Beach: antisemitism is a rising and deadly global scourge. I stand and grieve with Israel and the Jewish global community. 🇮🇱

My statement on the antisemitic terrorist attack against the Jewish community in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, providing substantial support to proxies like Hamas—the perpetrators of the October 7th massacre. Most alarming of all, Iran is a threshold nuclear power with the stated goal of wiping Israel off the map. Make no mistake: Israel is not the aggressor. It is defending itself against an existential threat that long predates the present preemptive strike. The true aggressor is the Islamic Republic and its empire of terror—an empire stained with the blood of innocent Israelis.

#JewsForJamaal is a little like #BlacksForTrump. If someone were to create a pro-Trump Black organization and call it “The Black Vote,” it would rightly be seen as deceptive advertising. The same should be said of “The Jewish Vote.”

How a UN official can say such things & still have a job is a disgrace. The hostages were not released, they were rescued from Hamas in a daring hostage rescue operation. Parroting unreliable unverified casualty numbers from Hamas is also unethical. There is no genocide in Gaza.

This is the best interview I have EVER seen. Ever; ever; ever; nothing comes close. Douglas Murrey has a heart – and mind – of gold. And what unfolds in this seven-minute clip is something you need to watch for yourself. (Once you see it halfway through, you’ll know exactly what I’m referring to.) But he articulates something which I have been trying to share for the past month: The Nazis, as fundamentally evil as they were, believed that they were engaging in a necessary evil for an ultimate good; they still had a spark of humanity at their core; thus, their main flaw was that they believed the ends justified the means; even though they fully believed in the “result” of a world without Jews, they were still fundamentally opposed to the “actions” they were taking. This is what motivated the Nazis to find ways of circumventing the existential moral decay they were entering, and allowed them to get creative by using the gas chambers, mass shootings (in the BACK of the head – to avoid direct facial contact), and other passive forms of mass annihilation, while also having as few Nazis as possible actually involved in these acts of murder; they then encouraged those individuals who were involved in this atrocity of mass murder to get drunk every night in order to wash away the person they started seeing in the mirror. Thus, the existential decay of these individual Nazis actively involved in the mass murder of the Jewish People was simply seen as another layer of “the ends justify the means.” They were the epitome of “Western” evil. Hamas is the exact opposite. This IS their value system. They prize death, murder, rape, suicide missions, and everything that opposes the very foundation of values and truth to begin with. The events of October 7th was not an end to a means… there is no future goal… this IS the goal. They are the epitome of an evil the likes of which we have never before seen. Please – I know this is social media and some people only watch 60-second soundbites; but please, please, please watch this brilliant interview. Douglas Murray – you are a credit to everything worth being credited.

November 9th marks the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, which led to the mass destruction of Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues and the mass incarceration of 30k Jews. “The Night of Broken Glass” is so named because of the shards of glass left behind by the shattering of windows. 85 years later, ours remains a world littered with metaphorical shards of glass—signs of antisemitism appearing everywhere. Each one of us should feel called by history to combat antisemitism in our own time. #NeverAgain.

An Arab/Bedouin Israeli on the apartheid lie: "If not for Israel I would probably be illiterate, penniless, herding sheep. But I have an electrical engineering degree, I have a masters from Stanford University, and I have my rights to live my life the way I wanted to live it."

24 hours flew by, yet no protests, no media headlines, and no condemnations for 'Barzilai' Hospital in Ashkelon, Southern #Israel, struck by a second rocket from #Hamas in #Gaza. Some of you just learned about this now! Don't trust the media that ignored this. #HamasTerrorists

“From the river to the sea” is a call for the genocide of every Jew in Israel and symbolizes solidarity with a radical terrorist organization. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib knows this. This is disgusting behavior from a Member of Congress, and every freedom-loving American should be outraged.

BDS claims to be “nonviolent.” If you are calling for the destruction of the Jewish nation-state, you cease to be nonviolent. Indeed, the outcome you seek is not only violent but also genocidal. The non-violence of a movement must be judged not only by its means but also by its ends. The destruction of Israel is a violent end.

BDS claims that Anti-Zionism has nothing to do with Antisemitism. Vandalizing the Shorenstein Aleichem Cultural Center in the Bronx with the words ‘Free Palestine’ is not only Anti-Zionist. It’s antisemitic. Celebrating the mass murder of Jews (“resistance); calling for the mass murder of Jews (“globalize the intifada”); committing mass murder against Jews (October 7)… All of these are not only Anti-Zionist. They’re Antisemitic.

The only constant among ceasefires between Israel and Hamas is that Hamas has broken every single one of them. From the moment it seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, Hamas has fired rockets or otherwise attacked Israel in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and 2023 with various skirmishes in between. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me for 16 years, shame on us. The free world won’t be fooled again.

The antisemitism of the Cornell Discussion Forum is horrifying. Threatening violence against Jewish students. Dehumanizing Jews as “rats” and “excrement” to be “eliminated.” Advocating for the genocidal destruction of both the Jewish people and the Jewish State. The academic establishment can no longer turn a blind eye to the deepening rot of antisemitism on American college campuses.

RT @RitchieTorres: The federal government must hold colleges accountable in order to combat campus antisemitism. Students and professor…

Jewish students from Cooper Union had to lock themselves in the library in order to escape an aggressive Anti-Israel mob. In America, we all should have the freedom to be who we are and worship as we please, without fear of intimidation and harassment and violence. Where there is fear, there can never be freedom. Shame on Cooper Union for failing to protect the freedom of its Jewish students from a dangerous mob.

The organizers of the anti-Israel hate rally against me were proudly chanting: “resistance is justified.” Let that sink in for a moment. These people were not protesting Hamas for butchering Israeli babies—which, to them, is “justified” as “resistance—but instead were protesting me for protesting Hamas for butchering Israeli babies. We increasingly seem to live in an Orwellian universe where wrong is right, evil is good, aggression is self-defense, terrorism is resistance, and oppression is liberation.
