Alex Stein goes camping with pro-Palestinian protesters



Alex Stein had one goal as he ventured onto the campus of Sacramento State: find and join a pro-Palestinian protest encampment.

While the protesters ended up being less than thrilled to see his friendly face and were not very good at sharing their tents, he did have some interesting interactions, to say the least.

As Stein ventured through the encampments, he found himself face to face with many students who identify as transgender or nonbinary.

“Don’t you think it’s kind of weird being a trans person protesting for Palestine? Doesn’t it seem hypocritical?” He asked one student who was wearing a mask. “I’m not even hating. I’m celebrating your transgenderism, but don’t you think that’s kind of weird that they would probably treat you very poorly?”

While the protester gave no comment, another protester, also wearing a mask, showed Stein his middle finger as the Palestinian flag billowed across him in the wind.

While Stein continued to ask how the protesters felt about the treatment of gays in Palestine, they continued to stand strong, masked and silent. However, when Stein went to leave this particular group, they began following him in silence.

“Everybody’s just mute,” Stein observes. “I’m happy they’re all following me.”

There were a few students from outside the protest who did have something to say.

“I’m scared of freedom of speech now. I’m scared to say something and then next thing you know I’m going to get kicked out of the school,” one student tells Stein.

“What do you think about the gay people that are trying to protest for Palestine?” Stein asks him.

“I think we should care about America first,” he answers.

Anti-Israel protesters block New York Times delivery trucks: 'Consent for genocide is manufactured here'



Anti-Israel protesters flooded a printing facility in New York City overnight, blocking trucks from collecting several media outlets' newspapers for morning delivery, including the New York Times, WABC reported.

According to law enforcement, a group of pro-Palestinian agitators gathered outside one of the nation's largest newspaper printing facilities around 1 a.m. on Thursday to create a blockade. The protesters prevented delivery trucks from accessing the building by standing in the road with their arms linked.

Video of the protest shared by WABC showed approximately a couple dozen activists obstructing one of the access roads to the Queens facility. The anti-Israel protesters carried signs reading, "Stop the presses," "Free Palestine," and "Will you write about this?"

The demonstrators placed rocks and office furniture on the roadway to further disrupt the delivery truck drivers. A large sign planted among the debris read, "Consent for genocide is manufactured here."

The roughly two-hour-long demonstration delayed the pickup and delivery of newspapers from several media outlets. The protesters dispersed around 3:30 a.m., and delivery trucks were once again able to access the building.

Police reported that no arrests were made.

The 300,000-square-foot facility also prints USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Newsday, and the New York Post.

According to Hell Gate, the protest was organized by Writers Against the War on Gaza. Harry, an activist who participated in the demonstration, told Hell Gate's Nick Pinto, "We're trying to take the Times out of circulation for a day."

"People view it as this repository of objective knowledge, but it's actually at the forefront of manufacturing consent for this war. We want to challenge that, and create a vacuum where other things are possible," said Harry, who asked the news outlet to omit his full name.

The New York Times responded to the demonstration, releasing a statement Thursday morning that read, "The Israel-Hamas war is a complex and challenging story, and we receive criticism from each side. We are open to good-faith disagreement but firmly reject any assertion that our coverage displays bias. We support the rights for groups and individuals to express their point of view, even when we disagree with it as it relates to our coverage, but will not let critics or advocacy campaigns sway us from independent reporting."

The newspaper outlet assured its readers that the protest caused only "minimal disruption" to its distribution.

MUST SEE: Brother of Hamas victim shares his tragic story



Dave Rubin is in Israel this week to talk to locals and hear their stories. Yesterday, he met with 26-year-old Ilay David.

Ilay’s younger brother, Evyatar, was taken hostage by Hamas during the Nova Festival on October 7. When the invasion began, Evyatar texted his brother informing him of the attack, but their connection was soon lost. Shortly after, Evyatar’s sister posted his photo on Instagram asking if anyone had seen him. An unknown number messaged her back with videos of Evyatar. The first showed him being dragged inside Gaza by a terrorist, and the second showed him handcuffed on the floor in a dark room with several other victims, including his childhood best friend.

“The cameraman was making sure that we [would] see their faces and recognize them,” Ilay tells Dave, noting that his brother was staring at the camera with “primal fear.”

“At that moment, I felt mostly anger. … I felt like I failed to protect my younger sibling, and I felt helpless – like there's nothing I can do,” says Ilay.

After a week had passed, Ilay joined a families' forum and has since been doing everything in his power to bring his brother and the other hostages home safely.

Despite released hostages’ reportings of mental and physical abuse and there currently being “no signs of life,” Ilay refuses to give up hope that his brother will come home one day.

“We have to fight evil and bring them back home – all of them – as soon as possible,” he says.

To hear Ilay’s story – a tale of unshakeable hope in the face of tragedy and fear – watch the clip below.

Bill Maher slams progressives for celebrating Hamas, spreading anti-Semitism: 'You're the ones with the tiki torches now!'



Bill Maher torched fellow progressives for engaging in anti-Semitic sentiments following the start of the Israel-Hamas war.

On the latest episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," the liberal talk show host pummeled his fellow liberals for celebrating Hamas and promoting anti-Jewish sentiments ever since the Hamas surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7.

Maher asked the "Real Time" panel, "What do you make of this level of just gut-wrenching anti-Semitism?"

Maher then confessed, "I must admit, I don't think of myself as a naive person [but] I've been surprised. It was like a volcano that blew. I mean, just the people in the United States who [are like] 'F*** Israel!' You know, the 'Any means necessary!' I just, I don't know where this comes from. I guess it's ancient. Obviously, the hatred of the Jews goes way back. But I was taken aback by this."

Political scientist Ian Bremmer chimed in, "You can't tell me you don't think social media has made it much worse."

Maher responded by saying, "So you think that's the answer? Because it's got to be something about the Jews themselves because there were other people around the world who are oppressed. There are other colonized places – not that Israel colonized anything – but why this one place?"

The liberal talk show host continued, "Why does this arouse, especially among young people? I mean, the young people who hated Trump because he wouldn't condemn the people with the tiki torches talking about Jews – you're the ones with the tiki torches now!"

Maher was referencing the so-called "Unite the Right" rally in August 2017 – where proponents of Confederate monuments, protesters from the alt-right, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, counter-protesters, and Black Lives Matter supporters clashed in Charlottesville, Virginia. White nationalists had carried tiki torches and chanted racist slogans.

The protest turned deadly when a driver purposely slammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters and killed Heather Heyer.

The driver of the car attack was James Alex Fields Jr. – who had espoused white supremacist and anti-Semitic viewpoints online and at the rally. Fields pleaded guilty to Heyer's murder and 29 violations of hate crimes. He was sentenced to life in prison.

CNN host Fareed Zakaria theorized, "The upsurge in anti-Semitism that you're seeing around the world, and sadly in the United States as well, is in a way the most powerful justification for the state of Israel."

"It must feel to Jews everywhere that they're not safe," Zakaria stated. "The one place that they can be safe is the state of Israel. It's the ultimate justification."

"Why it happens is, sadly, because it is the oldest bigotry known to man," Zakaria added. "It comes out of Christian ideas about Jews."

Maher vehemently disagreed that is the reason why younger people are expressing anti-Semitic vitriol.

The HBO host speculated that some people supporting Palestinians "think of themselves as social justice warriors."

He criticized young activists for not having sufficient knowledge of the history of Israel and Palestine.

"They don't want to learn anything… They want to have a cause," Maher noted. "It's not about Israel, it's about this cause, the Palestinians. Like I said, there's many people around the world who could have similar causes… This is the one that they latch on to. They don't learn anything about the history of the region or who's right and who's wrong and where they'd be more comfortable."

Maher then rejected the debate over "proportionality" in Israel's military response to the Hamas surprise attack that ignited the war.

He proclaimed, "For people who wonder why they are doing it, is because if they don't, their answer… is that if they don't fight back Hamas, they're telling you we're going to do it again!"

"I've used the word proportionality, and I think there should be – but it doesn't mean this thing where like, 'Hamas is going to attack – that’s a given. And then however many they kill, then you get to kill about the same," Maher said. "You get to match it and then the war's over.' That's not how wars work. Stop attacking them!"

According to the Anti-Defamation League, anti-Semitic incidents have spiked in the weeks since the Hamas attack on Israel.

The ADL recorded a total of 312 anti-Semitic incidents from Oct. 7 until Oct. 12 – including 190 that were directly linked to the Israel-Hamas war. In the same time period last year, there were 64 reports of anti-Semitic incidents.

Last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray said anti-Semitism is reaching "historic levels" in the United States.

"This is a threat that is reaching, in some way, sort of historic levels," Wray said during a Senate hearing.

Wray said of the Jewish-American population, "In fact, our statistics would indicate that for a group that represents only about 2.4% of the American public, they account for something like 60% of all religious-based hate crimes."

Just for fun — watch furious Hillary Clinton get heckled by a protester



Hillary Clinton has had more than her fair share of acquaintances mysteriously disappear, and now the internet is ablaze with hope that a recent heckler of hers doesn’t meet the same fate.

While the former Democratic presidential candidate was speaking on a panel at Columbia University’s “Making Human Rights Come Alive: The UDHR at 75” event, a protester made it known he wasn’t happy with her or Joe Biden.

And Hillary was furious.

The protester refused to stop demanding that Hillary comment on what he called President Biden’s “warmongering” Oval Office speech, which was in favor of funding military efforts in Israel and Ukraine.

“President Joe Biden is calling for $100 billion of funding for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine, and we’re supposed to just bundle these together and pretend like we’re going to rush to World War III, and we’re all just gonna let Hillary Rodham Clinton sit here and —" the protester shouted before Clinton angrily interjected.

Clinton claimed she would wait for the protester afterward if he wanted to have a conversation, to which he responded, “OK, right, you’re going to wait for me? Please, I do not believe you.”

He then told Clinton he was exercising his right to free speech, to which she retorted, “But it’s not free speech when you’re disrupting everybody else’s opportunity to speak.”

The crowd applauded as he left.

Chad Prather is not impressed with Clinton’s reaction.

“You can hear her crusty v** just drying up even further, dude. I mean, like, she’s pissed, she’s ready to suicide somebody,” Prather jokes.

Comedian JP Sears joins in, adding, “If someone hasn’t been following what’s going on, she is not an elected leader; therefore she has a lot of authority, but I’m excited for her idea to be implemented of deprogramming Trump supporters.”

“I’m at the top of the list,” he continues, “I’m excited for it.”

Why is American media so quick to embrace Palestinian propaganda?



The American media refuses to call Nazis “Nazis” — unless, of course, it’s Donald Trump.

“Then they’ll call him Hitler,” Mark Levin says, before adding. “The greatest friend the Jews in Israel have ever known — Donald Trump. He's Hitler.”

Meanwhile, the American media is spouting Hamas’ propaganda and questioning Israel’s right to defend itself against annihilation.

“Hamas plays the media like a fiddle,” Levin says, noting that if Hamas were the side that actually cared about the civilian casualties displayed all over the news, they wouldn’t have missile launching sites in hospitals, mosques, and elementary schools.

“They spend the vast majority of their money building weapons and tunnels to kill Jewish people. They don’t care about the people; if they cared about the people, they wouldn’t be terrorists,” he adds.

Levin predicts that the American media won’t just play Hamas propaganda on repeat but will completely turn against Israel, “just as they covered up the Holocaust during World War II.”

While Hamas’ motivation is about the Jews, otherwise known to the media and liberals as “the occupiers,” he believes it's about more than that.

The Quran tells its believers to “eliminate the Jews, to eliminate the Christians, to eliminate the atheists and the non-believers.”

And considering that, it’s no wonder Iran wants a nuclear weapon.

“Obviously to try and blow Israel off the face of the earth,” Levin says, before explaining that Joe Biden, who’s given billions to Iran, is one major figure to blame.

“He’s capitulated to the Hamas Nazi wing of his party, he’s funded Iran, he’s funded the Palestinians, he’s done everything he shouldn’t have done, and in that, he’s betrayed the people of Israel, just as he’s betraying the people of the United States.”

23-year-old Israeli woman reveals how she narrowly survived Hamas festival massacre as boyfriend was murdered a few feet from her



A 23-year-old Israeli woman told her harrowing story of how she miraculously survived the Hamas terrorist attack on the music festival near the Gaza border. Sadly, her boyfriend was not as lucky and was murdered by Hamas militants.

Early Saturday morning, Hamas terrorists swooped into the area of southern Israel where the Supernova music festival was being held. Within seconds, a joyous rave disintegrated into a savage ambush.

The militants went on a murderous rampage and sprayed thousands of bullets at the crowd of 3,500 young people. By the end of the bloody, hours-long massacre, some 260 festivalgoers had been murdered. Plus, there were multiple reports that several of the young women at the all-night festival were raped while they were alive and after being killed.

Tamar Kam and her boyfriend were attending the festival last weekend when tragedy struck. The couple drove roughly 90 minutes from their hometown of Petah Tikvah to the southern Israeli suburb of Kibbutz Re’im.

The pair had planned to attend a party on the holiday of Sukkot, but they found themselves running for their lives as Hamas terrorists indiscriminately slaughtered young Israelis. The young couple ran to a nearby village to escape the carnage.

Kam and her boyfriend came upon an outdoor bunker where approximately 50 other terrified Israelis were hiding. The couple took cover in the bunker, but the Hamas terrorists began lobbing grenades at the structure — killing several people. The couple was forced to climb over dead bodies to escape the compromised bunker.

The pair found a home to hide inside, but the front door was locked. Kam and her boyfriend reportedly entered the seemingly empty house through an open window.

The Daily Beast reported, "Kam ran to the bathroom, locked the door, and holed up in the shower stall. Once there, her boyfriend grabbed a kitchen knife and positioned himself near the front of the house, prepared to do his best in protecting the two of them against any militants going door-to-door."

Suddenly, Kam heard two gunshots and then a voice speaking in Hebrew. She assumed that Israeli rescuers had finally arrived. However, once she exited the bathroom she was allegedly shot in the abdomen. She immediately fell to the floor in pain and was bleeding profusely.

"I thought it was soldiers coming to rescue us, but it was a terrorist speaking Hebrew," Kam recalled. "When I came out of the shower, he shot me."

The terrorists had shot her boyfriend dead.

Later, the family that owned the home emerged from a built-in shelter that they were hiding in. However, there were sounds of gun battles outside and it was too dangerous to seek help.

While waiting for Israeli Defense Forces to arrive, the parents of Kam's boyfriend called her phone. She informed them that their son had been murdered and they started screaming in agony.

After about five hours, IDF soldiers arrived and rushed Kam to the Soroka Medical Center. She was later transferred to a hospital in Be’er Sheva.

Tamar's mother, Limor Kam, told the outlet that she felt "lucky" that her daughter survived the killing spree.

The 23-year-old Israeli said of her boyfriend, "I loved him so much. There are no words to explain. These were young kids, young people. It was a massacre."

Did Biden finally get something right? Here's how the US is responding to Hamas' invasion



Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel that killed over 900 citizens. Now Israel is gearing up for war.

The country has amassed 100,000 troops as well as a number of tanks on the border of Gaza and has mobilized a total of 360,000 reservists.

Now, global leaders are responding.

President Joe Biden has announced that “we stand with Israel” and has vowed the United States' support in the face of the vicious attacks.

“Now, we all know Biden is one of the worst presidents of all time. He is probably the worst foreign policy president of all time,” Stu says. But despite this being an undeniable fact, Stu admits that Biden and some other Democrats are “somewhat sane on Israel.”

Zelenskyy, on the other hand, is less so. The president of Ukraine has come out and compared the assault by Hamas on Israel to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Stu Burguiere thinks this probably wasn’t the best time to pull this, noting that “especially on the right right now, no one wants to hear a word, one, about Ukraine or certainly Zelenskyy.”

“Everyone’s tired of it,” he adds.

Not only is everyone tired of it, but Israel is a much closer ally of the United States than Ukraine is.

“You can empathize with citizens in Israel and Ukraine and at the same time oppose Ukraine funding,” Stu says, adding, “but, of course, they’re trying to tie all these things together because that’s what they do.”

When it comes down to what Israel should do in this situation, Benjamin Netanyahu has an answer.

“Hamas will understand that by attacking us, they’ve made a mistake of historic proportions. We will exact a price that will be remembered by them and Israel’s other enemies for decades to come,” Netanyahu said in a statement.

“I hope it isn’t remembered by them for decades to come, honestly, because I want them to not be around to remember,” Stu comments.

“They need to be annihilated.”
