A leaked document from a November 2 meeting of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America reveals a series of extreme anti-Israel demands the group is preparing to press Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to adopt. Having helped propel him to victory, the DSA now appears eager to collect on its investment.

Although Mamdani is a long-time member of the DSA who clearly aligns with its anti-Israeli agenda, members are clearly worried he might yield to political pressure once he takes office.

Just the News’ Jerry Dunleavy obtained an internal Anti-War Working Group document that details what the DSA plans to demand of Mamdani.

Milo Sedarat, 19, went online and threatened to murder Jews in a mass shooting attack. He said “Line up like 500 Jews and execute them in front of their wives and family. Then take all their wives [as] slaves. Imma have like 10 yahood slave girls inshallah.”

Sedarat calls himself “the biggest antisemite in America.” He is the son of an Iranian poet. He comes from a family worth millions. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey arrested Sedarat. They also accuse him of plotting to run down a pro-Israel demonstration in Montclair.

A Muslim teen in New Jersey wanted to carry out a Boston-bombing style attack. He also happily volunteered to be in charge of beheadings if the group of alleged co-conspirators ever needed to make any propaganda videos, coldly saying, “I’ll do it, bro.”

“Line up like 500 Jews and execute them in front of their wives and family. Then take all their wives [as] slaves. Imma have like 10 yahood slave girls inshallah,” he said, using the Arabic term for “God willing.”

He said that if he ever saw a Jewish Rabbi while walking the streets of New York City “[you know] what’s gonna happen … I would be fine with getting shot or going to prison … If I get to take him out,” he said.

Five men and a juvenile have been arrested in connection to the alleged ISIS-tied terror plot, two in New Jersey, three in Michigan — where the suspects allegedly bought guns and ammo for a massacre at LGBT nightclubs — and one in Washington state.

UMD student government passes resolution to ban IDF members from speaking on campus– www.thecollegefix.com

Blurb:

The student government at the University of Maryland passed a resolution Wednesday that seeks to ban Israel Defense Forces members from speaking on campus.

“The resolution came after a pro-Israel student group hosted IDF soldiers, which protesters disrupted by calling them ‘baby killers’ and comparing the IDF to the KKK,” the Jewish Journal reported.

According to the Diamondback student newspaper, the resolution — which passed unanimously — urges administrators “to condemn the hosting of the soldiers and change university policy so that student organizations and academic departments will not be able to host speakers who have been found, or are being actively investigated for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity or systematic human rights violations.”

The resolution is non-binding, meaning it only represents the opinions of the student government and is not enforcable.

The crux of the controversy centers on an event held Oct. 21 by Students Supporting Israel featuring three guest speakers, Israel Defense Forces soldiers, who shared “their experiences fighting for Israel before and after October 7, and their advice for us college students on standing up against antisemitism and anti-Zionism every day,” according to the group.

The event prompted a protest, during which four students, including two student journalists, were detained by police for an hour, the Diamondback reported; according to campus police: “Four people were in the hallway causing a disruption. This disruption included screaming, holding signs and recording their actions.”

The world has been shocked and horrified by stories of how Hamas tortured and murdered Israeli hostages. But Hamas also viciously maltreats and even kills its own people who dare to stand up to it, including Moumen al-Natour, a Palestinian anti-Hamas activist.

The UK Daily Mail says that al-Natour has endured endless harassment and persecution from Hamas, from “being lashed with a whip, stripped of his clothes, or made to squat for 24 gruelling hours in a tiny underground cell, the 30-year-old lawyer has paid the price time and time again for his resistance to the authoritarian government.”

Describing one round of abuse at Hamas’s hands, al-Natour told the UK outlet, “They insulted me with obscene language and threatened to bring my father, mother, brothers and sisters to the prison to torture them. Once, someone even told me they could rape my mother and sisters in front of me.”

Hamas took Omer Neutra, an Israeli-American hero, captive on Oct. 7, 2023, and murdered him while in captivity. Israel finally recovered his body along with the bodies of two other brave Israelis after more than two years in Hamas’ hands.

Sharren Haskel, the Israeli Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, posted the news about the three dead hostages’ heartbreaking homecoming in a tribute where she praised their courage and individual talents.

Neutra’s family said in a statement that the Jewish Telegraphic Agency obtained, “With heavy hearts and a deep sense of relief — we share the news that, Captain Omer Neutra …has finally been returned for burial in the land of Israel.” Neutra’s parents spoke at the Republican National Convention last year to rally support for releasing the Israeli hostages before they knew that their precious son had been murdered in captivity.

Netanyahu orders ‘powerful’ Israeli strikes in Gaza, testing ceasefire – National– globalnews.ca

The Israeli army launched a barrage of attacks in Gaza on Tuesday as tensions with Hamas grew two weeks into a fragile ceasefire, and the militant group responded by saying it would delay handing over the body of a hostage. At least seven Palestinians were killed, health officials said.

The flare-up of violence presented one of the biggest tests so far for the truce and had international mediators scrambling to prevent it from collapsing. U.S. Vice President JD Vance attempted to play down the fighting, saying he expected “skirmishes” to quickly die down.

The order from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to launch “powerful strikes” came after an Israeli official said its forces were fired upon in southern Gaza and after Hamas handed over body parts on Monday that Israel said were the partial remains of a hostage recovered earlier in the war.

Netanyahu called the return of these body parts a “clear violation” of the ceasefire agreement, which requires Hamas to return the remaining hostages in Gaza as soon as possible. Israeli officials also accused Hamas of staging the discovery of these remains on Monday, sharing a 14-minute edited video captured by a military drone in Gaza.

Israel has said it will not allow Turkish troops to take part in an international force proposed by the US to oversee the ceasefire in Gaza.

The deal brokered by US President Donald Trump earlier this month calls for a temporary stabilisation force to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after two years of war, but does not mention which countries would provide armed forces.

The US plan said the force would train and support “vetted Palestinian police forces” and will “consult with Jordan and Egypt, who have extensive experience in this field”.

Speaking to journalists during a visit to Hungary, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Monday that Israel opposes the participation of Turkish troops in Gaza.

“Countries that want or are ready to send armed forces should be at least fair to Israel,” Sa’ar said at a press conference in Budapest.

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, warned Israel on Wednesday against annexing the West Bank, saying steps taken by parliament and settler violence threatened a Gaza deal.

Israeli lawmakers voted on Wednesday to advance two bills on annexing the occupied West Bank, barely a week after President Donald Trump pushed through a deal aimed at ending a two-year Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip that was retaliation for a Hamas attack.

“I think the president’s made clear that’s not something we can be supportive of right now,” Rubio said of annexation as he boarded his plane for a visit to Israel. Annexation moves are “threatening for the peace deal,” he told reporters.

A university professor has vowed to continue teaching after pro-Palestinian students disrupted his lecture, made a threat to behead him and called for him to be sacked.

Michael Ben-Gad, professor of economics at City St George’s, University of London, told Sky News he was also branded a terrorist because of links to Israel’s military, after he was conscripted to serve in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in the 1980s.

“It started, apparently on the same day as the start of the ceasefire [between Israel and Hamas]… which I don’t think is necessarily coincidental.

“There’s a whole industry that has developed about vilifying Israel, by extension, Jews. And they’re now looking for new targets.”

Mr Ben-Gad said it was not just his military service that protesters were complaining about.

“The other three accusations against me are that I studied at Hebrew University, this is a 100-year-old university in Jerusalem; that I’ve taught at the University of Haifa; and I’ve worked at the central bank [of Israel].

Palestinian State Recognition Gets Solid U.S. Majority Support

Support for the U.S. to recognize the Palestinian state has hit 59% according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. Only 33% were opposed to it, while 53% of Republicans were opposed to it.

Blurb:

Most Americans – including 80% of Democrats and 41% of Republicans – think the U.S. should recognize Palestinian statehood, a sign that President Donald Trump’s opposition to doing so is out of step with public opinion, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The six-day poll, which closed on Monday, found 59% of respondents backed U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state, while 33% were opposed and the rest were unsure or did not answer the question.

About half of Trump’s Republicans – 53% – opposed doing so, while 41% of Republicans said they would support the U.S. recognizing a Palestinian state.

A growing number of countries – including U.S. allies Britain, Canada, France and Australia – have formally recognized Palestinian statehood in recent weeks, drawing condemnation from Israel, whose founding in 1948 led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and decades of conflict.

By early afternoon, it was not immediately clear if the flow of aid had restarted.

His justification for a long-term Israeli military presence comes as Gazan clans or local militias opposed to Hamas’s rule have been rounded up and executed by the terrorist group after Israel withdrew some forces to make way for phase one of President Donald Trump’s peace deal.
