SPEWING HATE: Twitch streamer Hasan Piker ignited fierce backlash after defending his use of vile slurs, including “inbred” and “Zionist pig,” against political opponents. Speaking to NPR, Piker brushed off the toxic attacks, claiming they weren’t meant literally and blustered that criticism against him stems from anti-Muslim bias. The Israeli-American Council forcefully condemned his rhetoric as dangerous, dehumanizing hate speech.
CASH FOR TERROR: Rapper Macklemore launched a solo “Free Palestine” tour after getting booted from Ed Sheeran’s lineup over anti-Israel antics. But outrage erupted as tour proceeds are set to fund the radical Palestinian Youth Movementâa extreme group that openly cheered Hamas’s brutal October 7 massacre. Outraged Jewish groups are now demanding organizers answer for bankrolling violent extremists.

JUSTICE DENIED: A grieving relative of Shiri Bibas and her two toddlersâbrutally murdered after being dragged into Gaza on Oct. 7âis taking his fight straight to the International Criminal Court. The familyâs legal team filed complaints targeting Iranian officials who bankrolled Hamas, slamming the ICC for double standards and demanding arrest warrants for the regime bosses backing the atrocity.
CAMPUS CLAMPDOWN: The Trump administration made University of North Carolina knuckle under. To kill off 18 federal probes into alleged campus antisemitism and race-based admissions, the university agreed to ban protest face masks, enforce mandatory antisemitism training, and adopt strictly color-blind admissions. UNC avoided paying cash or admitting guilt, but must comply with strict federal oversight through 2028 to keep its funding.
GUEST EDITORIAL: Former New York Post editor David Christopher Kaufman argues that Barack Obama and Kamala Harris are out of touch for pushing anti-Israel rhetoric to court Black voters. He contends that African Americans prioritize domestic issues like crime and unemployment over Gaza, dismissing claims of shared Black-Palestinian struggles as a myth and pointing to polling that shows solid Black support for Israel.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “The Jewish people know what happens when hatred becomes acceptable. Throughout history, pogroms and persecution were fueled by lies that portrayed Jews as less than human. The Holocaust showed the world where the systematic dehumanization of Jews can lead.” – The Israeli-American Council, condemning Hasan Piker’s anti-Semitic comments.
