First current political candidate suggests concentration camps for American Jews. This should be national news! National Democratic leaders must call this out immediately

TX-35 Democratic candidate Maureen Galindo says she will convert ICE detention center in Karnes County into an internment camp for "American Zionists." "It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists," she added.

The Hierarchy of Victims. And the Rule That Determines It. Danny Cohen is a former director of BBC Television. He is Jewish. He is not hostile to Palestinian suffering and says so plainly. When he asks why pro-Gaza activists are silent on the plight of Afghans, Iranians and Sudanese, the question cannot be dismissed as right wing provocation. It is a question from inside the liberal establishment and it demands an answer. Consider the numbers: over a million Afghans have been forcibly expelled from Pakistan in just over a year. Children as young as thirteen deported to overcrowded camps. Families torn apart. Desperate parents with no idea where their children have been sent. No mass march. No parliamentary obsession. No wall to wall BBC coverage. In Sudan, up to 400,000 people have been killed through direct violence, starvation or disease. More than 10 million displaced. Nearly 20 million facing acute hunger. Eight hundred and twenty five thousand children under five projected to suffer severe acute malnutrition. Mass sexual violence. Ethnic cleansing. The fall of El Fasher marked by summary executions. No mass march. No union statements. No charity sector fury. In Iran, 30,000 citizens were massacred by their own government in 48 hours earlier this year. More than 50,000 arrested, facing execution, widespread torture and denial of medical care. No mass march. No parliamentary obsession. No social media outrage from the same accounts that document every casualty in Gaza with forensic intensity. Three simultaneous catastrophes. Three invisible victim populations. One common variable. Israel cannot be blamed for any of them. Cohen makes the observation that British Jews already know why. The singular focus on Israel, at the expense of attention to so many other humanitarian tragedies, tells us that something else is going on. The target is not the Israeli government. The red triangle associated with Hamas is paraded freely. The chant is from the river to the sea. The target is Jewish people. The BBC observation in his piece deserves particular attention. The corporation has made an editorial choice to cover Gaza wall to wall while giving comparatively little time to three simultaneous catastrophes affecting vastly more people. This is not a resource question. Resources follow editorial priorities. The same institution that suppressed gender critical reporting, that was described by its own former director of news as a sea in which we all swam, has decided which suffering is newsworthy and which is not. The hierarchy of victims is not accidental. It reflects the hierarchy of values of the people making the editorial decisions. Selective outrage is not passion misdirected. It is passion precisely directed. The directing principle is not the scale of suffering. It is not the vulnerability of the victims. It is not the availability of a remedy. It is whether the cause can be used to indict the West and delegitimise Israel. That principle is applied consistently because the people applying it share a common ideological formation. They were educated in the same captured universities, employed by the same captured institutions, and now control the editorial desks, the union structures and the parliamentary priorities of a country that still believes it is being governed in the national interest. The progressive capture of those institutions, documented from the BBC newsroom to the Cabinet, has produced a class that decides which suffering is newsworthy, which victims deserve solidarity and which catastrophes can be safely ignored. The Afghans, the Sudanese and the Iranians failed that test. They always will because their suffering is not useful.

I just spoke to the young Israeli man attacked in Golders Green. After he was heard speaking Hebrew on the phone, a group of young men in hoodies asked if he was Jewish. Then, they beat him for over five minutes. Throughout the attack, they repeatedly called him “Yehudi” - Jew. He told me he feared for his life. “It’s a miracle I’m not badly injured,” he said. “The state of London is sad and scary, but it’ll get even worse.”

Outrageous. A new report by Toronto Police Service found that Jews in Toronto account for 82% of all religiously motivated hate crimes, and 35% of all reported hate crimes, despite making up less than 3% of the population. These numbers are staggering. Antisemitism is not a fringe problem, it should never be normalized and it requires an all of society response. We stand firmly with @CIJAinfo and the Jewish community in Toronto.

"Indigenous" is a real concept applied with a fake standard. The word means "the population already there when someone else arrived." Fine. The problem isn't the definition. It's that the people who deploy it loudest apply it to exactly one set of migrations and pretend the others never happened. The Bantu expansion swept across half of Africa, absorbing or displacing the peoples who lived there first. No one calls Bantu-speakers settlers. The Turks arrived in Anatolia in the 11th century and replaced Greeks and Armenians whose roots there ran thousands of years deeper. No one demands they go back to Central Asia. Slavs pushed into lands held by earlier Europeans. Arabs spread from a single peninsula across North Africa and the Levant, Arabizing populations that had been there since antiquity. Anglo-Saxons displaced Britons. Han Chinese absorbed countless earlier peoples across what is now southern and western China. None of these get the colonizer label. Each one is treated as just "history." The label only activates for a narrow, politically chosen set. Almost always Europeans, and almost always Jews returning to the one place on earth where their indigeneity is older than the word itself. That's not a definition. That's a filter. And the filter exists to produce a predetermined answer. Hate the messenger if you like. The history isn't an opinion.

I have firsthand knowledge that Jews running for public office in LA County are being grilled in local Dem club meetings where they’re seeking endorsement about “aipac money” and in one case even “Jew money” This is alarming

A mayor represents every New Yorker. Using City Hall resources to post a one-sided video about Israel’s founding — omitting the UN partition plan, the Arab rejection, the reasons that many Palestinians left, the many who stayed and the 850,000 Jewish refugeesforced to leave Arab lands  — isn’t commemoration. It’s propaganda. Releasing it right before Shabbat isn’t leadership. It’s provocation. Especially when Nakba Day “commemorations” in this city featured open support for US-designated terror organizations, veneration of their leaders, and calls for Israel’s destruction. New Yorkers deserve a mayor with the moral clarity to call that out.

Do British police actually understand why they exist?

I'm a middle eastern historian. My own family were made refugees. And this is my honest view of the Nakba (“catastrophe”) - the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1947–49 war surrounding the creation of Israel. A thread. 🧵

Following an exhaustive, two-year independent investigation into sexual violence on 10/7 and against hostages in captivity, a new report documents the horrific reality: Hamas committed systematic, widespread sexual violence with 13 recurring patterns across attack sites, including "kinocidal" crimes targeting families. The evidence, which includes 10,000+ photos/videos, 1,800+ hours of analysis, 430+ testimonies, cannot be denied or dismissed. jpost.com/israel-news/ar…

The Klu Klux Klan used to march through black neighbourhoods in the 50s and 60s, seeking to intimidate black residents and assert white supremacy. Now antisemites march through Jewish neighbourhoods, seeking to intimidate Jewish residents and assert anti-Jew supremacy. It was racism then and it’s racism now.

Hamas: We arrested a Mossad dolphin. BBC: Print it.

This is very disturbing. A serious matter.

Another day, another Synagogue attack in London. This day after rally against antisemitism. Situation really spiraling out of control in UK.

Really interesting read from @davidfrum “It has become an article of faith among progressives that Kamala Harris lost in 2024 because she did not talk enough about Palestinians and Gaza. The actual data available confirm that Harris lost because she was seen as too far to the left of where most voters placed themselves. But beliefs do not have to be based on truth to motivate action. In the 2026 cycle, Democrats are elevating candidates who have taken positions that would have once seemed politically suicidal: a U.S. House candidate in New Jersey who served as a character witness for “the blind sheikh” behind the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center; a U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan who campaigned with Hasan Piker, a Twitch streamer who has said that America deserved 9/11; and a candidate for U.S. Senate in Maine who unconvincingly claimed not to know that the skull-and-crossbones tattoo he had worn for almost 20 years was associated with the Nazi SS.”

〽️UMich DEI Director Rachel Dawson: “The university is controlled by wealthy Jews” “We don’t work with Jews — they’re wealthy and privileged” “Jews have no genetic DNA connecting them to Israel” Investigation backed it.

🔴 Jewish students are being followed home, screamed at and sent death threats by their peers at university, a report into anti-Semitism has revealed. Students at University of Birmingham, University College London, Royal Holloway University and City St George’s, which is part of University of London, said they had faced a barrage of anti-Jewish hatred on and off campus ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/0…

I need you to follow this carefully. A photographer submitted images to the New York Times. One showed a severely thin Palestinian boy, using it to claim Israel was deliberately starving civilians. The Times published it on the front page. The child had cerebral palsy. Pre-existing conditions. Nothing to do with famine. The Times CORRECTED the story. Publicly. On record. The Pulitzer Prize committee, which awards journalism’s highest honour, read the correction. Reviewed the work, and gave the photographer the prize anyway. One of the oldest lies in human history, that Jews deliberately harm children, is award-worthy journalism. It just won a Pulitzer.

There is a claim that keeps circulating, presented as sophisticated analysis: antisemitic violence is caused by Israel’s actions. If Israel behaved differently, Jewish communities around the world would somehow be safer. This argument is not analysis. It is a moral inversion. And it collapses the moment you apply it consistently. When China imprisons Uyghurs, does anyone warn Muslim communities in Paris to expect attacks? When Russia invaded Ukraine, did anyone tell Russian restaurants to brace for violence? No. Never. The causal chain between a government’s actions and violence against a diaspora is only ever constructed for Jews. Every other minority is extended the basic moral courtesy of being treated as individuals rather than proxies. Now look at what the data actually shows. The SPCJ, which tracks antisemitic incidents in France in coordination with the Interior Ministry, has documented a consistent and damning pattern: it is antisemitic violence that inspires more antisemitic violence, not Israeli policy. After Mohamed Merah murdered Jewish children at point-blank range at the Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse in 2012, antisemitic acts surged by 200%. There was no Gaza operation. No Israeli military action. The massacre of Jews in France produced more attacks on Jews in France. The same logic held after the Hypercacher attack in January 2015: antisemitic acts increased by nearly 300%. Massacres of Jews do not shock antisemites into restraint. They embolden them. They signal impunity. They normalize hatred. And everyone in a position of responsibility knows it. Which brings us to October 7. From the day of the Hamas attack, antisemitic acts in France increased by over 1,000%. A daily average of approximately 25 antisemitic acts was recorded in the 30 days that followed, reaching nearly 40 on some days. In the three months after the attack, the number of antisemitic acts equaled those recorded over the previous three years combined. And here is another detail that makes the “Israel causes antisemitism” argument impossible to sustain: the spike began on October 7 itself, the very day of the attack. Israel had not yet responded. Not a single soldier had entered Gaza. Interior Minister Darmanin sent an urgent message to prefects that same day asking them to immediately reinforce protection of Jewish community sites. Synagogues. Schools. Community centers. By October 10, 10,000 police officers had been deployed to protect 500 Jewish sites across the country. Before any Israeli response existed, the French government already knew that Jewish communities needed protecting. Not because of what Israel was about to do. Because of what had just been done to Jews. Antisemitic violence has one cause. Antisemitism.
