ITHACA, NEW YORK – Jewish Cornell University students reported that many of their peers on campus have been questioning their allegiances to left-wing student groups after some came out in defense of a professor who called the Hamas terrorist attack in Southern Israel "exhilarating." Fox News Digital spoke to "Cornellians" on background and on the record who said they were aware of a political shift among Jewish students. Some of them are questioning their ties with various progressive groups – and some with progressivism as a movement itself.

Even 5% will swing 7 elections across the country. Much worse for dems is loss of donations. Our Muslim brothers are almost as tight as me and won't make up the funds.

FTA:"I find that pretty unfortunate if they're willing to side with people who are literally terrorists," he said. The truth is finally hitting home. Many of these 'progressive groups' have always been sympathetic to terrorists, criminal elements, terrorists, Burn Loot & Murder, and anyone who wants to shred Western civilization. They will gladly take money and votes from Jews, but don't want their presence.

Pretty slow on the uptake. These leftist Jews have been siding with their enemies for at least half a century now. MAYBE some of them are starting to wake up? Hope they wise up a lot more.

Think of who is representative of the Progressive faction(which is in firm control) of the Democrat party, and you'll find they skew to the upper-income, generally college educated (don't conflate that with being smarter than others, and remember neither Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerburg graduated college) and white. And now, nearly 20% (44 out of 212) of the elected House Democrats voted against the resolution the other night. Major law firms telling places like Harvard they won't be hiring their graduates.

FTA: "It's so hard to comprehend this level of hatred," he said. "And they sit next to you in class… I have to hope that people are just uneducated and don't know better and that they are not actually evil." Kid, you STILL haven' gotten the point.

To the Jewish students of Cornell: Dump the progressives. They always hated you, but kept it (somewhat) hidden up until recently.

Until now these progressive Jewish students have been on board the ideology that has rhetorically advocated for the same treatment that befell on Israel on October 7 to befall on white people in this country. In that respect they are just the same as their non-Jewish peers. All Jew haters are anti-White, anti-man, anti-capitalist, anti-religion and anti-American. Not their fault since they absorb by default the toxic atmosphere at the academy. I hope they, as well as others, realize that today’s progressivism is a cauldron of hate and destruction.

If college-age Jews are starting to question their allegiance to “progressive” ideology, maybe that’s a good thing. I don’t know what else it would take for Jews to realize that progressivism is actually regressivism, but anything will do. It’s way overdue that Jews realize that their best interests lie with conservatives, not liberals.

Many of us have wondered for years why Jews always vote with Democrats. Perhaps now the former may start to figure out that the Democrat Party is the party of racism, not Republicans or MAGA.

The married Alabama mayor and pastor who killed himself after being outed as having a secret life as a “transgender curvy girl” allegedly used a photo of a local minor to encourage kids to transition.

Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters calling for the elimination of the Jewish state stormed Grand Central Terminal Friday night, furiously banging and kicking at a locked entrance of the station that was forced to temporarily close over the rowdy demonstration. The mob was part of a “Flood Manhattan for Gaza” protest that initially converged on Columbus Circle earlier in the evening, where they set fire to an Israeli flag and taunted a small faction of counter-demonstrators before marching through Manhattan and splattering fake blood on the New York Times building. “We don’t want a Jewish state.

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee abruptly adjourned a meeting on Thursday without holding an expected vote on subpoenas for two conservatives who have helped arrange luxury travel and other benefits for Supreme Court justices. The panel’s Democratic chairman, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, gaveled out after Republicans on the committee made clear they would call for subpoena votes on a raft of Democratic officials and others, a protest of the planned subpoenas for Republican megadonor Harlan Crow and conservative activist Leonard Leo. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the panel, warned majority Democrats that the hearing would be contentious.

Ukraine’s newly appointed head of defense industry says he is working tirelessly to ramp up local arms production and wants to turn the country into a weapons production hub for the West. Oleksandr Kamysyhin, the minister for strategic industries of Ukraine, said that Russia’s invasion of his country and the Israel-Hamas war raging in the Middle East have highlighted the need for countries to spend on their defense systems. “We’re really focusing on making Ukraine the arsenal of the free world,” Kamyshin told The Associated Press in an interview late Friday.

Every time murderous Islamic thugs commit another terror attack, the Obama-Biden administration, in Pavlovian fashion, promptly cautions us to avoid “Islamophobia.” This time was not at all different. In a recent address to the nation about the heinous attacks of Oct. 7 on innocent Israelis, Biden stated:In recent years, too much hate is given too much oxygen, fueling racism, the rise of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia right here in America.I don’t know about you, but I’m seeing a great deal of anti-Semitism lately and very little Islamophobia.

There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war. Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop “Free Palestine from the River to the Sea.” More recently, they are also yelling, “Israel, you can’t hide, we caught you in genocide.” Consider the hypocrisy of that dual messaging. Hamas and its supporters are openly and eagerly calling for the genocidal end of Israel by wiping it out from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

Former Democratic New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey will announce his political comeback next Thursday, when he’ll publicly declare that he’s running for mayor of Jersey City, a member of his campaign staff told The Post. McGreevey, 66, has been out of politics for nearly 20 years, ever since his 2004 resignation from the Garden State governorship after coming clean about a secret extramarital affair with a male staffer. The former governor’s opportunity to re-enter politics opened in April, when his hometown mayor, Steven Fulop, announced that he wouldn’t seek re-election in Jersey City and would instead run to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy in 2025.

After Azerbaijan besieged and starved 120,000 Christian Armenians in the Republic of Artsakh in the South Caucuses for nine months, on September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan bombed Artsakh's communities. Hundreds of civilians, including children, were murdered. Almost all the Armenians of Artsakh have fled: they know that after all military raids, Armenians who have fallen into the hands of the Azerbaijani military have been treated with maximum cruelty. Beheading and mutilating Armenians appears to be a long-standing tradition of Azeri soldiers. These actions are promoted and rewarded by the State of Azerbaijan.

There are a myriad of geopolitical interests exploiting the Israeli war against Hamas terrorists. The intelligence operation we noted in Dagestan, Russia, was one small element of a larger dynamic. Here we dig into the geopolitical exploits of China and other interests. Yesterday, a Chinese student at Cornell University in New York was arrested for posting vile death threats against Jewish students. Patrick Dai, age 21, a junior at the university, posted some of the most horrible threats against Jewish students threatening to kill, rape and conduct a mass shooting on the campus. The overarching dynamic, amid many U.S. colleges, has been to support the Hamas terrorists

Friday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz reacted to former President Barack Obama’s criticism of Israel in the wake of the October 7 terror attacks on its southern territory. Dershowitz suggested Obama’s criticism was a result of the “deep hatred” Obama had for Israel. “Do you think Obama understands what his words have meant?” FBN host Maria Bartiromo asked. “I think so,” Dershowitz replied. “I think he always had a deep hatred of Israel in his heart. He hid it very well. He called me to the Oval Office, and he said Alan, you know I have Israel’s back.

Water Tower Place, an eight-story, 758,000 sq. ft. high-end shopping mall in downtown Chicago, is in the news. Once one of the biggest and most exciting malls in the Midwest, it quietly leaked that the owners are interested in renting out the top five of its eight floors “for purposes other than retail.” Not just wealthy shoppers, but even browsing tourists, too, it seems, are staying away in droves. Chicago could support such a luxury mall once. The Magnificent Mile was a thrilling destination for generations. What happened to Chicago’s iconic Michigan Boulevard?

The FBI seized Mayor Eric Adams’ electronics early this week in connection with what appears to be a growing investigation into possible federal corruption in his 2021 campaign, The Post has learned. The feds are looking into whether Hizzoner’s campaign colluded with the Turkish government and others to direct money into his mayoral effort, sources told The Post, after the news was first reported by the NY Times. Agents reportedly approached Adams, 63, on the street and asked his security team to step aside, one of the sources explained. The agents then got into Adams’ SUV with him and executed a court-authorized warrant to seize

Rahm Emanuel once famously stated, “never let a good crisis go to waste.” This phrase expresses the idea that crisis often breeds opportunity. On Wednesday, the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined the co-hosts of “The View” to do just that. Hilary seized the moment to offer her perspective on the similarities between Hitler and Donald Trump and what that could mean for the 2024 election. According to Clinton, she previously discussed the concept of “one and done.” This referred to elected individuals who sought to eliminate future elections, opposition, and a free press after their legitimate election.

The man accused of bludgeoning former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer was caught up in conspiracies when he broke into her San Francisco home last year, his defense attorney said, as his trial opened on Thursday. David DePape, a former nudist from British Columbia, entered the Pelosi home through a back door in the early hours of October 28, 2022, and attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Nancy was not home at the time. Paul Pelosi, then 82, had called the police, speaking carefully so as not to enrage DePape, who was in the house. Police arrived in time to see DePape smash a hammer into Pelosi's head,

The incredible level of spending, with significant amounts of dark money coming into Ohio from out of state and out of the country, raises questions about whether the Issue 1 vote accurately depicts the will of Ohio voters or merely reflects an inordinate amount of leftist spending to buy votes.
