The rise of anti-Semitism by recent Catholic converts

It has been said that Catholic converts are among the most zealous of all. And so it is with Carrie Prejean Boller, or, as I prefer to call her, Carrie Prejean Hez-Boller, because she has been extremely vocal in her support of the ‘Palestinians’ and their war against Israel.

On March 23, she tweeted:

Israel is a terrorist state committing an absolute death camp in Gaza, and Lebanon. This evil regime must be called out. Zionists want you to think these are “God’s chosen people” causing mass murder of innocent life, all while justifying it.

Absolute blasphemy!

These are God’s enemies.

This is the woman who lost her crown as Miss California over a leaked masturbation tape of herself she sent to her then-boyfriend when she was 17 — something which was technically dissemination of child pornography — and now she is whining that she lost a seat on a ‘religious liberty commission’ due to her continual anti-Semitic remarks.

How, I have to ask, can she be entrusted with any position on ‘religious liberty’ when she calls the Jews of Israel “God’s enemies”?

Now she’s trying to pick a fight with two Catholic bishops, Timothy Cardinal Dolan and Robert Barron which led Richard Hanania to tweet, “This woman seems to think the Catholic Church is some kind of global Walmart where you can just keep demanding to see the manager and yell at him for not being antisemitic enough.” 🙂

It turns out that I am not the only one to notice this:

The Catholic Convert Boom Is Real But A Troubling Pattern Is Emerging

Some new Catholic voices are using the faith for something else entirely.

By Ryan Girdusky • Tuesday, March 24, 2026 • DailyWire.com

As we approach the holiest day of the year for the Catholic Church, tens of millions will prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Americans across the country are preparing to join the faith I have belonged to since birth.

Converts to the faith have played a crucial role over the last two millennia, from St. Paul’s journey to Damascus, to St. Augustine’s departure from a life of debauchery that would make Hugh Hefner blush, to G.K. Chesterton, whose writings still speak to millions nearly a century later, to St. Elizabeth Seton, the first American-born saint.

I firmly believe the Catholic Church is the greatest civil institution ever created. Since its founding, the Church has clothed the naked, educated the young, fed the hungry, tended to the sick, and through divine mercy provided the path to salvation for billions of people.

During the darkest times in human history, the Catholic Church was the only institution that separated the West from barbarism. The very fabric of Western civilization is tied to the history of the Church.

This is absolutely true! Catholicism spurred Western civilization, but Catholicism specifically, and Christianity in general, are dependent upon Western civilization for survival. Christianity is fractured these days, and has been since the rise in Protestantism. Religious tolerance did not come easily with the Reformation, with King Henry VIII persecuting Catholics, and his successor and elder daughter, Queen Mary I, turning right around and persecuting Protestants. Queen Elizabeth I was famously Protestant, but while she was no friend of the Catholics, she didn’t take working against Catholicism to nearly the extent of her father. Tolerance for various Christian denominations grew, albeit slowly. As part of the restoration of the monarchy, King Charles II promised religious tolerance, meant to be between Anglicans and Presbyterians, but it was a policy that included Catholics.

While it’s easy for me to wax poetic about a church I have repeatedly fallen in love with over the years — even with all of its shortcomings — other high-profile converts appear to be using their newfound membership in the Catholic faith as nothing more than a political prop.

It is true, the vast majority of new converts join for all the right reasons. But a small, vocal cadre of political influencers are using their Catholicism to build social media platforms, feigning purity as an E-girl or, even worse, promoting antisemitism. It is people doing the latter who pose the most credible threat to the integrity of all Catholics and create a widespread erroneous belief that Catholicism has an issue with Jews.

More specifically, people like Mrs Boller and Candace Owens Farmer, someone initially conservative and sensible, who then fell into anti-Semitism, and then went full bananas into conspiracy theories — I wonder if she’s fallen into 9/11 Trutherism yet? — are convinced that the Jooooos run the world

Mira Fox wrote:

“As a Catholic, I don’t agree that the new, modern state of Israel has any biblical prophecy meaning at all,” (Mrs Boller) said in the hearing. Later, she doubled down on X. “I’m a proud Catholic. I, in no way will be forced to embrace Zionism as a fulfillment of biblical prophesy,” she wrote.

What she was referring to was the idea of Christian Zionism — the theological belief among some Christians that the Bible supports the existence of the modern state of Israel. Some forms of Christian Zionism support the Jewish state as a necessary, prophesied precursor to Jesus’ return; all Jews must return to Israel before the end of days. Others may simply support Israel because they believe it shares their “Judeo-Christian” biblical foundations. But whatever the reasons, there has historically been widespread political support for Israel among American Christians. And that support has been core to Israel’s relationship with the U.S.

Zionism.

Theodor Herzl was a Hungarian Jewish journalist and lawyer who was the father of modern political Zionism, with his book Der Judenstaat. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine, which, in the late 19th century was part of the Ottoman Empire, in an effort to form a Jewish state.

Zionism exists because we good Christians forced it on the Jews.

While European Jews might have supported Theodor Herzl’s ideas, few of them actually chose to emigrate to the Holy Land. The ending phrase of the traditional Passover seder, “next year in Jerusalem,” expressed a hope, but it wasn’t one that the Jewish diaspora in Europe took seriously enough to make aliyah — emigrate to Israel — themselves. But then the good Christians in Germany voted for Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. Even before the outbreak of war in Europe, those same good Germans went along with the despoilation of the Jews. Little by little, their property was confiscated, their businesses driven out, their jobs taken away.

After the war in Europe started, and the Third Reich overran much of Europe, our good Christian ancestors of just two generations ago willingly helped the Nazis find those Jews who were in hiding, in Germany and the occupied countries, helping to load them in the boxcars and be shipped off to a (supposedly) unknown but nevertheless dreaded fate.

Remember: Cuba, the United States, and Canada all denied entry to the MS St Louis, a ship with over 900 Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis in 1939, just before the war began. The surviving Jews in 1945 could count on no more help from the Western Hemisphere than they could from Europe. Many private colleges in the United States imposed Jewish quotas, because ‘too many’ Jews were winning admissions without them.

After the war ended, the surviving Jews chose to make aliyah because there was no place else for them to go! Their homes and property were destroyed and gone, and their surviving old neighbors were frequently the same people who identified them to the Gestapo. The good Christians of Europe had proven to the Jews, once again, that they could not count on their Christian neighbors to help and protect them; the Jews could count only on themselves.

Then, as they tried to make their way to the Holy Land, the British, who were siding with the Arabs because the Arabs had oil, put many of them in ‘displaced persons’ camps, and tried their best to keep the surviving Jews out of the Holy land.

What other conclusion can be drawn? The surviving Jews could count on no one but themselves, and that turned Theodor Herzl’s Zionist dreams into hard-nosed reality. We good Christians created the Zionism of the post-war years, and which continues today!

Like so many other people, now 81 years after World War II, I’ve always found it difficult to understand how the Nazis were able to get so many good and decent Europeans to go along with their round-up of the Jews. I could see how people submitted at the point of a gun, but there were so many Europeans who helped voluntarily, under no compulsion other than their own decisions.

But now? Now I can see it, I can understand it. We have good Americans, citizens of this country, which was a major contributor to winning World War II against both Germany and Japan in part by bombing them back to the Stone Age, whining about Israel’s destruction in Gaza while never mentioning that Hamas and their supporters in Gaza started the war.

I can also understand how some people, including a lot of sensible conservatives, didn’t like or want the United States bombing attack against Iran. I didn’t like it either, though I am certainly happy that the Islamist leadership have mostly been sent to their 72 bacha bazi boys. I want to see us out of that war as soon as possible, and wouldn’t support any ground troops being used there for anything other than the purpose of seizing all of Iran’s fissile material and destroying all of their nuclear armament equipment.

But this ridiculous anti-Semitism, this hatred of Jews and Israel, our easternmost outpost of Western civilization, and our bulwark against the hordes of seventh-century Islamist barbarism, is the ultimate in stupidity. We can argue about the wisdom of the American involvement in attacking Iran, but the notion that we’re somehow controlled by the Jooooos and puppets of Israel is ridiculous and ignorant and just plain stupid.

The utter idiocy of anti-Semitism Anti-Semitism has no place among real Catholics

Carrie Prejean Boller is a very attractive young lady with a very ugly soul. She claims to be a Roman Catholic, but I have to ask: is her Bible just one of those small New Testaments that the Gideons leave in hotel nightstands? Does she cover her ears during the first reading on Sunday Mass, which is normally from the Old Testament, the ancient Jewish scriptures? Does she sit there stone-faced during the responsorial psalm, the works primarily of David, King of Israel and Judah? What does she do when most American Catholic parishes sing Oh come, oh, come, Emmanuel at the beginning of Advent?

She even depicted herself as St Joan of Arc, though, amusingly enough, she had images of Jesus and Mary, who were both Jews, in the background.

I don’t know how often she attends Mass, but she at least tweeted support when the late Charlie Kirk talked about his family going to Mass every week.

But there she is, ranting about “Zionists” and “Zios”, and supporting the Palestinians who, if they actually achieved the Islamist government they want, would put her into chattel sex slavery to a much older Muslim man, assuming that they didn’t just slit her throat.

Christianity does not exist without Judaism! The majority of our Bible are the ancient Jewish scriptures, which give us the laws of God and the prophesies of the Messiah being sent to us, foretold by Jewish prophets. Jesus himself was Jewish, born into a Jewish family, and teaching in synagogues. If Miss Boller take communion, receives the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Eucharist, she is imitating Jesus and the Apostles as they gathered together for a Passover meal!

There is, however, more than just religion involved in this. Israel is our easternmost bastion of Western civilization, of freedom, democracy, religious tolerance, and free enterprise. Miss Boller can rage and rant about the Jooooos all she wants on Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — because she enjoys the freedom of speech and of the press that the West provides. It’s not just those freedoms, but the existence of technology almost entirely developed in the West, including in Israel, that gives her the means to express her opinions beyond her physical circle of friends. From the first printing press, to the development of radio, and then television, and that internet thingy that Al Gore invented, she is benefitting from the technology developed in the West. Biz Stone, one of the four creators of Twitter, which she uses to attack Jews, is himself Jewish.

If she uses a cellular phone, she is using technology that was in significant part developed in Israel. If she has been vaccinated for polio, she has been kept safe by one of the two vaccines, both of which were developed by Jews.

Anti-Semitism has no place in the developed world, because so much of what has made us the modern world was developed by people of Jewish heritage. And anti-Semitism has no place in the Catholicism she claims.

The Israel she hates so much? I have been, all too briefly, to Jerusalem, I have gone to Mass in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, I have been to the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane, I have walked the Via Dolorosa, all things important to Catholics, and all things protected and preserved by Israel.

The Muslims she champions? ISIS destroyed ancient relics in Syria and Iraq, because they considered them idolatrous, while the Taliban of Afghanistan destroyed several ancient sites and a library, for the same reasons. If the Islamists won in the Holy Land, if they drove the Jews into the sea, there is no particular reason to believe that they would be any less destructive of Christian sites.

But I just saw where she called Candace Owens brave, simply more proof that she hates the Jooooos.

When a raging anti-Semite feels comfortable enough to go on a tirade.

Lower Gwynedd Township was established in 1698 by William Penn, a very well-to-do township in what is now mostly well-to-do Montgomery County, one of the collar counties of the City of Brotherly Love. I have done a couple of projects in Lower Gwynedd, and not only could I not have afforded a home there, I couldn’t even afford some of their driveways! In the 2024 election, the residents of Montgomery County gave 317,103 votes, 60.62% of the total, to then Vice President Kamala Harris Emhoff, and only 198,311 votes, 37.91% of the total to our then 45th and now 47th President, Donald Trump. Only neighboring Delaware County, 61.15%, and Philadelphia itself, 78.57%, gave Mrs Emhoff a higher percentage of their votes in the Keystone State.

Perhaps that’s why Philip Leddy, the principal of Lower Gwynedd Elementary School felt it safe to go on an anti-Semitic rant, even in private, as so many of our nation’s good Democrats have decided that they hate Jews for defending themselves following Hamas’ October 7th massacre.

Well, he shouldn’t have felt too safe, because he’s now the former principal!

Pennsylvania principal axed after ranting about ‘Jew money’ in voicemail to parent

By David Spector | Saturday, December 27, 2025 | 9:33 AM EST

Philip Leddy, photo by Wissahickon School District, and is a public record.

A Pennsylvania principal whose antisemitic tirade about “Jew money” was inadvertently recorded has been fired.

Lower Gwynedd Elementary School Principal Philip Leddy was axed Tuesday by the Wissahickon School Board.

Leddy, 45, was returning a call from a parent when he got the dad’s voicemail and left a message, but then apparently failed to end the call, Philadelphia’s ABC 7 reported.

That’s actually ABC 6, not ABC 7, but the link is accurate.

Leddy allegedly accused the parent of having “Jew money” and could be heard muttering “they control the banks,” according to recording, which was posted by the advocacy group StopAntisemitism.

”They go to Jew camp . . . everyone at the camp hates that family . . . ,” he was also caught saying, according to the group’s recording.

Parents in the district have accused the school board of attempting to paper over their longstanding issues with antisemitism by hanging Leddy out to dry.

“It was an easy one for them because it was old school anti-semitism versus more modern, like anti-Zionism antisemitism,” Beth Ages, who has two kids in the district, told The Post.

Jewish parents in the district noted a mural in Wissahickon Middle School which depicts the rabid anti-Semite Linda Sarsour.

Perhaps the anti-Semites are achieving their mostly unstated goals:

“Jewish families are leaving in droves,” said Lynn Simon, who has two kids in the district.

I was unable to find Mr Leddy’s credentials, but he must have at least a Master’s degree to have been a principal in a Montgomery County school district. He has to be an educated man, at least as far as education in education goes. He had to have gone to college, and, at his age, 45, it had to have been several years ago. He became principal in 2023, presumably before the October 7, 2023 attack.

But this was the funniest point of all, from the 6ABC news story: he had “previously chaired an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee in another district, according to his school bio.” Looks like being all in on DEI doesn’t cover inclusion of Jooooos.

The School District leaders said that Mr Leddy wasn’t just talking to himself, but was apparently speaking with another district employee at the time. No action has been taken against that employee, who contributed nothing anti-Semitic to Mr Leddy’s tirade, but left unreported is the fact that the now former principal felt comfortable enough to engage in that tirade with another school employee.

And that’s the part that gets to me. Unless Mr Leddy is an absolute moron, he had to have known that an anti-Semitic rant was the kind of thing that could get him fired, yet he felt secure enough to do it anyway in front of another school district employee. That tells me that not only did Mr Leddy not think his rant was wrong, but he seemingly didn’t think that whomever the other school employee was wouldn’t find it a problem either. Just how anti-Semitic is wealthy Lower Gwynedd that this could have occurred?

Fortunately, with the ongoing strike, there should be plenty of available positions as baristas at Starbucks, so maybe he won’t starve. But, then again, he probably won’t be able to afford to live in Montgomery County.

Kristallnacht in New York City? It’s not so far-fetched! As long as their protests remain peaceful, they are protected by our First Amendment, and its provisions protecting freedom of speech and peaceable assembly. But make no mistake about it: these people are total scum.

This site noted, on Friday, how self-proclaimed ‘imam’ and ‘Islamic scholar’ Abdullah Mady led a walkout of about 100 attendees at an interfaith service at the City University of New York because there was a ‘Zionist’ there.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch apologizes to famed synagogue’s congregants for botched response to antisemitic protest

By Rich Calder | Saturday, November 22, 2025 | 4:53 PM EST

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch issued a heartfelt apology to the congregation of an historic Manhattan synagogue Saturday — conceding cops should have done a better job of keeping away hateful anti-Israel protesters.

Tisch told a crowd of 150 congregants attending service at Park East Synagogue that this week’s protests are legally allowed outside houses of worship — no matter how vile the topic — but said the NYPD failed to keep the front entrance clear and ensure “people could easily enter and leave shul.

“That is where we fell short, and for that, I apologize to this congregation,” the 44-year-old top cop said during a 10-minute speech which drew a standing ovation.

“Our plan didn’t include a frozen zone at the entrance. As a result, the space right outside your steps was chaotic.”

This story makes me appreciate the recently ended television series Blue Bloods and sadly fictitious Police Commissioner Frank Reagan.

Some 200 demonstrators gathered outside the Manhattan synagogue and heckled Jews attending an event by Nefesh B’nefesh, a Zionist organization that helps Jews immigrate from North America to Israel.

Many chanted “Globalize the intifada” and sinisterly urged the “resistance” to “take another settler out.”

Internal hyperlink not in the original, but added by this site.

Can someone tell me how such chant would not be seen as direct threats by the attendees? That was the direct intention of at least some of the protesters:

“It is our duty to make them think twice before holding these events,” one protest leader told the crowd.

“We need to make them scared. We need to make them scared. We need to make them scared,” the agitator repeated emphatically.

The crowd also chanted “From New York to Gaza, globalize the intifada” to the beat of a drum.

“Resistance you make us proud, take another settler out,” the hate-filled group chanted at one point, video shows.

It’s not as though the NYPD did not have advance warning about the protest, as we reported last Wednesday.

Counter protestors were also on the scene, calling the masked demonstrators “cowards” and “pussies” for not showing their faces.

Cops set up metal barricades to keep protestor at bay, but some of the barricades were left too close to the synagogue entrance – putting event attendees coming and going in potential risk.

Pal-Awda NY/NJ, the anti-Israel activist group leading the protest, said it was demonstrating against an effort to “recruit American settlers to illegally occupy stolen Palestinian land.”

Again, internal hyperlink not in the original, but added by this site.

I find it amusing that Pal-Awda is whining about “stolen Palestinian land” while living on what some of our friends on the far-left call stolen Indian indigenous land.” They don’t want American Jews to immigrate to Israel, but they also try to make life miserable for Jews who live in the United States.

Oddly enough, of the four women most visibly protesting the Jews, three looked like very white Americans.

American Jews, in the city with the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, are learning the hard way, as have their brothers in the Holy Land, that such virulent anti-Semitism has to be resisted from the very beginning. The history of Nazi Germany, and of Kristallnacht, has demonstrated for Jews the dangers of hoping that anti-Semitism just disappears, just goes away.

How can Israel and the Arabs live next to each other in peace if an “Islamic scholar” cannot sit in the same room in NYC with a Jew?

So many good and kind Americans believe that the solution to the strife between the Israelis and their Arab neighbors is a simple one: an independent Palestinian nation, living in peace, side-by-side with Israel. What could possibly the objection to that?

Well, Yassir Arafat, then President of the so-called ‘Palestinian Authority,’ objected, because even though President Bill Clinton had gotten Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to agree to an independent Palestine in 97% of Judea and Samaria, as well as Gaza, and a land swap from Israel proper to make up for the 3% in the ‘West Bank’ which had Jewish settlements, it didn’t include the ‘right of return’ for displaced ‘Palestinians’ to return to their homes in Israel. That, at least, was his stated reason, though the real reason was that he knew he would be assassinated by the irredentists who would never agree to allow Israel a single foothold in the Levant.

In 2005, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon forced all Jewish settlers to evacuate Gaza, turning it all over to the ‘Palestinians’ to do with it what they would. What Israel and the rest of the world hoped they would do is create a peaceful enclave, the type of thing which would prove that the Arabs could and would live in peace beside Israel. Instead, Hamas took over governing control of Gaza in 2007, and what was built were tunnels from which to attack Israel.

Still, that was all seven time zones away from the United States. Arabs and Jews could live side-by-side in peace here, right?

‘Imam’ tells CUNY Muslim students to leave interfaith event because a ‘Zionist’ is present

By Carl Campanile | Wednesday, November 19, 2025 | 6:54 PM EST

So much for kumbaya.

A self-proclaimed imam speaking at a CUNY City College interfaith event went into a Jew-hating tirade, urging Muslim students to leave in protest after complaining that a “Zionist” was present.

The City University of New York said it is now investigating the shocking incident last week that targeted Ilya Bratman, an adjunct lecturer at Baruch College and the director of the Hillel Jewish campus organization.

“I came here to this event not knowing I would be sitting next to a Zionist and this is something I am not going to accept,” said the Islamic scholar Abdullah Mady, referring to Bratman, according to an audio recording obtained by The Post.

Gaza is 5,689 miles away from New York City, but Mr Mady couldn’t sit next to a Jooooo who was in no way threatening him.

“My people are being killed right now in Gaza,” he said. “If you’re a Muslim, out of strength and dignity, I ask you to exit this room immediately.”

About 100 students in attendance took up the call and walked out, leaving about 20 Christian and Jewish students who remained in the room stunned, Bratman said.

The New York Post story does not tell us how many of the 100 or so who walked out were Muslims.

Campus security then escorted the remaining attendees, as the whole thing broke up, outside, to protect them from any hostile demonstrations from the ones who had walked out.

The advertising poster for the meeting, pictured above, uses the silhouette of a Jewish menorah as one of the various religious symbols, but Mr Mady was surprised that there was a Jew there? If an “Islamic scholar” could not sit beside an adjunct lecturer from a Jewish college, a quarter of the world away from the scene of the war, how can anyone ever expect Israel and an independent ‘Palestine’ to share a border in peace?

Kristallnacht in New York City? It’s not so far-fetched! As long as their protests remain peaceful, they are protected by our First Amendment, and its provisions protecting freedom of speech and peaceable assembly. But make no mistake about it: these people are total scum.

The hatred for the Jews continues in New York City. Whether they were encouraged by the election of Zohran Mamdani to become the city’s next mayor is speculative, but it certainly seems probable. They don’t want American Jews to emigrate to Israel, calling them “settler colonialists,” but they also try to make life miserable for Jews in the United States.

From The Times of Israel:

Anti-Zionist groups announce protest outside Manhattan synagogue

By Luke Tress | Wednesday, November 19, 2025

Anti-Zionist groups announce a protest for tomorrow at New York City’s Park East Synagogue.

The protesters are demonstrating against an event at the synagogue hosted by Nefesh B’nefesh, an organization that helps Jews immigrate to Israel.

Internal hyperlink not in the original, but added by this site.

“No settlers on stolen land,” say advertisements for the protest on social media, branding the event a “settler recruiting fair.”

Nefesh B’nefesh does not direct immigrants to settlements; anti-Zionist activists often brand all Jewish Israelis as “settlers.”

Yet the protesting groups are here, in the United States, in New York City, which is land taken from the Indians by our settler colonialist ancestors.

The protest is led by the Pal-Awda activist group and is shared by other anti-Zionist organizations such as the city’s branch of Jewish Voice for Peace, Writers Against the War on Gaza, student groups from around the city and individual activists with large followings.

Pal-Awda is a group calling for the so-called “right of return” for Palestinians to lands within Israel proper, the same excuse given by Yassir Arafat for rejecting the 2001 initiative by President Bill Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to create a ‘Palestinian’ state in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria. Like so many of the irredentists, they want their “From the River To the Sea” ‘Palestine,’ with the Jews expelled . . . or just plain slaughtered.

The hyperlinks were not in the original, but were added by us.

The National Lawyers Guild, a nonprofit, sent an email to its members asking for volunteer legal observers to attend the event. The observers serve to provide legal defense for protesters against police. The guild is anti-Israel and put out a statement in support of the October 2023 Hamas invasion of Israel, the day after it happened.

The image to the left was attached to the National Lawyers Guild statement.

Who are the “National Lawyers Guild”? They are just another leftist ‘progressive’ group who hate the United States — despite being headquartered here — as they tell us in their About Us page. But one wonders: did these oh-so-progressive people, saying that they “actively educate, litigate, and truth-seek toward the end of social justice,” and “reaffirming the legitimacy of the struggle of people for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle,” mean to include the rape, murder, and kidnapping of unarmed people, including children?

Their statement was issued on October 8, 2023, the day after the massacre of 1,199 innocent people and the kidnapping of 251 others.  The numbers hadn’t firmed up on that next day, but The New York Times had several different stories on the attack dated on the seventh. The “National Lawyers Guild” cannot have been unaware of just what the attackers had done. And, of course, they chose to post their support for the ‘Palestinians’ before the Israel Defense Forces had moved into Gaza to respond to the Hamas attack

There have been thousands of anti-Israel protests in New York City since the Hamas attack, the NYPD has said.

Demonstrations outside synagogues and in heavily Jewish neighborhoods are rare, but tend to be especially vitriolic. Park East is a prominent synagogue in an area with a large Jewish population.

Yup, anti-Semitism. These fine people could have held their protests anywhere, but they chose to protest in heavily Jewish neighborhoods, around the synagogues which are the most visible symbols of Judaism. They deliberately chose locations to try to intimidate Jewish Americans.

As long as their protests remain peaceful, they are protected by our First Amendment, and its provisions protecting freedom of speech and peaceable assembly. But make no mistake about it: these people are total scum.

Another cosplayer for Hamas

I have frequently mocked the pro-‘Palestinian’, pro-Hamas demonstrators in their keffiyehs, asking why they should be taken seriously when virtually none of them picked up a rifle and headed to Gaza to fight the evil Jooooos. But it seems like this anti-Semitic, anti-American — he was born in New Jersey, which makes him an American citizen — went at least far enough as to pick up a rifle!

The New Yorker trashed for inviting ‘pro-9/11 radical’ Hasan Piker, who called Israelis ‘inbred,’ to speak at festival

By Emily Crane | Friday, September 5, 2025 | 8:43 AM EDT

The New Yorker magazine is being ripped for inviting controversial lefty influencer Hasan Piker to headline an upcoming event — despite his vile history of calling Israelis “inbred” and that America “deserved 9/11.”

Piker, a popular left-wing Twitch streamer, is slated to participate in a New Yorker Festival roundtable event — titled the “New Political Arena” — next month.

But news of the progressive darling’s appearance on the line up has sparked outrage — with many blasting the mag for giving a “pro-9/11 radical” a platform to potentially spew hate and peddle antisemitism.

The 33-year-old New Jersey-born streamer has also downplayed the sexual assault of women on October 7, declaring it “doesn’t matter if rapes happened.”

I almost think that Mr Piker was at least being honest in saying that the issue of Hamas’ rapes of innocent women doesn’t bother him, so he doesn’t care if they happened or not. That’s at least more honest than so many of the rape-denialists on the left, who deny the rapes occurred, because they didn’t want to denigrate their heroes in Hamas.

But it’s Mr Piker’s costume playacting — cosplay — that gets me. He had a photo taken of him, holding a military-looking rifle, while being adored by a dog in an apartment. Dogs are ‘unclean’ and may not be kept indoors as far as Islam is concerned.

Americans have gone to Ukraine, to fight the Russians, and Americans have gone to Israel, to join the Israel Defense Forces, to fight the Arabs, but if there has ever been an American who has left the wealth, safety, and security of the West to go to Gaza to fight the hated Israelis, I’ve never seen a story on that.

Mr Piker certainly has not. Instead, he appears in expensive suits with his artfully coifed hair and beringed fingers, that military-looking rifle and protective vest left behind, never lifting a finger to help the poor, poor, pitiful ‘Palestinians’ to actually gain the land they want.

I’ll have more respect for Mr Piker when he goes to Gaza and puts his life on the line defending the people and causes he so vocally supports. Until then, he’s just another cosplayer, trying to look big and important, but he’s really just a pipsqueak. It’s easy to hold a rifle, but it takes balls to go out and really fight.

So many who want to “Free Palestine” are willing to shoot unarmed Jews

I have said it before: if we had social media back in 1944, the Usual Suspects wopuld have been decrying the violence and whining that Germany was defeated, that there was no need to continue the march into Germany proper, and think of all of the poor, innocent civilians who would be killed! Had such people been around then, they wouldn’t have cared that their calls for a “Ceasefire Now!” would have left der Führer and his henchmen alive and in power, and a couple of the concentration camps in place, but still . . . .

This morning’s story is what piqued The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far-left columnist’s ire: Continue reading
