Peaceful protesters certainly exist, but in many instances, the same marchers who cry "from the river to the sea" also provide cover, logistics and recruitment spaces for operatives who work closely with Hamas or other terrorist organizations. A report from the University of Indiana shows how a transnational network of NGOs and campus groups spread antisemitic and pro-Hamas narratives, coordinated across borders and amplified by social media. The message is simple: Israel is "colonial," Jews are "settlers," and violence against them is "resistance." European rallies have repeatedly featured Hamas flags, praise for the October 7 attackers and calls to "repeat" the massacre – all under the label of "human rights."

Amal Clooney’s public image is one of a trailblazing human rights lawyer unafraid to hold world leaders to account, who just happens to be married to a movie star. But critics say the British barrister and professor is selective in her approach, favoring causes that are at odds with the state of Israel, while questioning her choice to work with a hardline Muslim group.

Newly declassified FBI and DOJ records have revived scrutiny of the Clinton Foundation’s ties to the Uranium One deal — records that closely track and reinforce investigative reporting first brought to national attention by Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer. Schweizer posted on X in response to Just the News’s reporting on the internal memos, saying, “We broke the Uranium One story back in my 2015 book Clinton Cash. Now it emerges that while federal investigators believed there was ‘significant evidence worth pursuing related to criminal activity,’ Obama officials shut the investigation down.”

Akram, who remains under police guard in a hospital, is expected to appear in court on Wednesday via a video link, police said.

President Trump’s job approval rating has rebounded after a second-term low, according to new polling averages from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). The president’s approval rating in the DDHQ average of polls stands at 44.8 percent, marking a 3.5 point increase from last month. As of Tuesday, his disapproval rating sits at 51.7 percent, per DDHQ. In mid-November, Trump’s disapproval peaked at 55.5 percent.
