Elite University Employee Attempted To Alienate, Sabotage Jewish Researcher, Lawsuit Claims
'Deep, dangerous biases'
While millions of Americans across the country are gearing up for their Fourth of July festivities, here are three members of Congress who likely won't share their enthusiasm.
Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas has had several standout moments during her political career. Like many others in her party, Crockett has had her fair share of criticisms of the Trump administration, and she's even gone so far as to root for other countries over the one she was elected to represent.
'I can go through pretty much the entire South and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government.'
During a February interview on "The Breakfast Club," Crockett said she was "rooting for" Canada and Mexico over the United States because they were standing up to the "crazy regime from Mar-a-Lago."
“The fact that I’m rooting for Canada and I’m rooting for Mexico a lot is really wild, but they are really the ones that are speaking truth to power right now," Crockett said.

Crockett has also displayed disdain for Republican constituencies in particular, calling red states "deplorable" for not embracing the radical gender ideology her party touts. On a separate occasion, Crockett called red states "broke," accusing them of being too reliant on "big blue states."
"Down in Alabama, who's broke, down in Louisiana, who's broke — I can go through pretty much the entire South and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government," Crockett said. "To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states. ... We're in the 'find out' phase."
Of course we cannot forget the infamous "hot wheels" comment Crockett made toward Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas back in March, apparently mocking him for his disability. Crockett notably refused to apologize for her remarks.
Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan has reliably railed against America, specifically the concept of American sovereignty, throughout the span of her political career.
'Impeach the motherf**ker.'
Tlaib has repeatedly called for ICE to be abolished, claiming its sole purpose is to terrorize illegal aliens even though they broke the law by entering the country illegally. Rather than celebrating the country she represents on the Fourth of July, Tlaib insisted that America consists of "broken systems rooted in racism that allow folks to be harmed and killed."

Like some of her other Democratic colleagues, the Palestinian-American has also spent much of her career focused on other parts of the globe outside the United States.
Tlaib has become known for her advocacy and support for Palestine over Israel, the country that is regarded to be America's ally in the region. When Tlaib takes a break from calling to "impeach the motherf**ker," referring to Trump, she is likely being censured by the House for "promoting false narratives" about the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7.
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's political career is a treasure trove of anti-American sentiment. One of the most glaring instances of blatant disregard for Americans is the "some people did something" scandal of 2019.
Omar was speaking at a fundraiser for the Council on American-Islamic Relations when she downplayed the deadliest terrorist attack ever to take place on American soil.
'We're a country built on stolen land and the backs of slaves.'
"CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties," Omar said at the fundraiser.
Although Omar's comments sparked outrage, the congresswoman doubled down and made the atrocity about herself.
"I think it is really important for us to make sure that we are not forgetting, right, the aftermath of what happened after 9/11," Omar said in an interview following the scandal. "Many Americans found themselves now having their civil rights stripped from them. And so what I was speaking to was the fact that as a Muslim, not only was I suffering as an American who was attacked on that day, but the next day I woke up as my fellow Americans were now treating me a suspect."

This wasn't just a one-off Freudian slip for Omar. Rather, the Somali native has a steady track record of spewing anti-American rhetoric. Omar has called Americans she disagrees with "stupid" and even said the United States has "turned into one of the worst countries."
Omar herself admits she grew up in a dictatorship in Somalia, but she still insisted that the recent Army parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America's founding somehow demonstrated that the U.S. is worse than the country she is originally from.
Her bias against the United States and in favor of foreign countries has been a topic of conversation for her entire career, and it can be best demonstrated by comparing her own statements about American independence and Somalian independence.
Omar, a representative for the United States, celebrated Somalian independence in a Tuesday post on X depicting a man waving her native flag.
However, her praise seems to be reserved exclusively for Somalia. Back in 2018, she posted a critical statement to mark America's independence.
"We shouldn't revise history," Omar wrote. "We're a country built on stolen land and the backs of slaves. Independence Day allows us to reflect on how far we've come and how much farther we have to go. Leveraging our voice to fight for justice is as American as it gets. Happy 4th of July."

In his first broadcast interview since his release from detention, Mahmoud Khalil blamed the United States’ "unconditional support" of Israel for the recent string of anti-Semitic attacks. "What is happening is a direct result of the U.S. unconditional [sic] support to Israel. People want to be heard. And unfortunately, they are [resorting] to violence to […]

More than six years after a Jewish American was killed in a politically motivated attack in the West Bank, the Supreme Court has finally opened up a pathway for his family to seek justice in the U.S.
On Friday, the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision that upheld a 2019 law meant to combat terrorism and to allow victims to take legal action against two Palestinian groups, the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority, according to the Wall Street Journal.
'Congress and the President made a considered judgment to subject the PLO and PA to liability in U.S. courts as part of a comprehensive legal response to "halt, deter, and disrupt" acts of international terrorism that threaten the life and limb of American citizens.'
This law, the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act, "deems the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority — if they engage in specified conduct — to have consented to personal jurisdiction in civil suits brought in the United States under the Antiterrorism Act," the opinion stated.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that this act does not violate the Due Process clause of the Fifth Amendment for these groups. To state this positively, the case rules that these Palestinian organizations do consent to personal jurisdiction in civil suits brought in the United States.

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, emphasized that the intent of the law is aligned with the government's broader foreign policy agenda to combat terrorism and to protect American citizens: "In respectively passing and signing the PSJVTA into law, Congress and the President made a considered judgment to subject the PLO and PA to liability in U.S. courts as part of a comprehensive legal response to 'halt, deter, and disrupt' acts of international terrorism that threaten the life and limb of American citizens."
The decision overturns the 2022 opinion of a lower court by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who previously deemed the PSJVTA to be unconstitutional and dismissed the case brought on behalf of Ari Fuld, according to a 2022 article by Reuters.
This prior case was brought against the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority by members of Ari Fuld's family. Fuld was fatally stabbed in 2018 in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. While Furman described the case for justice for Ari Fuld as "morally compelling," he nevertheless dismissed the case on the grounds that the 2019 law was unconstitutional.
This most recent decision is a major step forward for these families to hold these organizations accountable for American victims of terror in the Middle East.

The majority of House Democrats voted against a congressional resolution condemning the recent anti-Semitic attack that took place in Boulder, Colorado.
The resolution passed with the support of 205 Republicans and 75 Democrats, while 113 Democrats voted against it. Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia as well as Democratic Reps. Sarah McBride of Delaware, Johnny Olszewski of Maryland, Dina Titus of Nevada, Shomari Figures of Alabama, and Herb Conaway of New Jersey voted present.
Notably, the House passed a similar resolution the same night condemning anti-Semitism, except it passed in a near-unanimous 400-2 vote. Greene again voted present as well as Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
'Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others.'

Although the resolutions are similar, Democrats overwhelmingly disapproved of the first resolution because it noted the immigration status of the suspected attacker, Mohammed Sabry Soliman. Soliman seemingly violated the terms of his tourist visa when he "failed to depart the United States prior to the expiration of his authorized period of stay," according to the resolution.
"The case of Mohammed Sabry Soliman highlights the need to aggressively vet aliens who apply for visas to determine whether they endorse, espouse, promote, or support anti-Semitic terrorism or engage in other anti-Semitic or anti-American activity," the resolution reads.
Greene, who was the only Republican who voted present for both resolutions, said she condemned the anti-Semitic attack but argued that other groups who are victims of violence are being overlooked.
"Anti-Semitic hate crimes are wrong but so are all hate crimes," Greene said in a statement Monday. "Yet, Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others."

"Tonight, the House passed two more anti-Semitism-related resolutions, the 20th and 21st I've voted for since taking office," Greene said. "Meanwhile, Americans from every background are being murdered — even in the womb — and Congress stays silent. We don't vote on endless resolutions defending them."
Greene argued that "prioritizing" anti-Semitic attacks over other acts of violence proliferates the very feelings of resentment that lead to these hate crimes.
"Prioritizing one group of Americans and/or one foreign country above our own people is fueling resentment and actually driving more division, including anti-Semitism," Greene said. "These crimes are horrific and easy for me to denounce. But because of the reasons I stated above, I voted present."

America is on fire — again. But this time, it’s not just cities burning — it’s our identity.
In Los Angeles, mobs of masked agitators — many waving the Mexican flag, others clutching Palestinian flags, and some burning the American flag — have taken to the streets, firing guns into the air, hurling rocks at ICE vehicles, blocking traffic, and setting fires.
America doesn’t need a savior. It needs a reckoning.
Where is the outrage from the media? Where are the helicopters? The FBI raids? The solitary confinement cells? When a handful of peaceful Americans entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021, a great many politely walking between velvet ropes, they were branded “insurrectionists.” Grandmothers were hunted down. Veterans were jailed without bail. But in Los Angeles, when foreign nationals tear through city streets waving foreign flags, they’re “demonstrators.”
Give me a break.
What we saw in California over the weekend was the result of an illegal invasion. And it isn’t new. These aren’t “immigrants.” A great many are illegal aliens — a term defined by law — who have broken federal immigration law, ignored due process, and poured over our borders with the help of a regime that has openly defied the Constitution.
I personally know families who have tried for years to bring a spouse or child to America the legal way. They wait. They pay. They follow the rules. But if you’re an educated Christian refugee from Africa or a skilled engineer from India, you’re told to stand in line. Meanwhile, if you’re a cartel mule from Honduras or a “gotaway” with a gang affiliation, you get flown around the country on the taxpayers’ dime.
We’ve abandoned every principle that once defined American immigration: Learn English. Pledge allegiance. Assimilate. Respect the flag.
Instead, we have mobs chanting slogans that would have triggered national security alerts a decade ago. Now they trigger hashtags. And while President Trump is calling out the National Guard, California’s “leaders” stall, the courts shrug, and citizens remain unprotected.
This isn’t incompetence. It’s sabotage.
And the most dangerous part? We’ve been living under a kind of soft martial law for decades.
Since 1938, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure quietly restructured the judiciary under a corporate framework that operates outside the Constitution. These rules merged law and equity courts, nullifying constitutional guarantees and opening the door for administrative tyranny in family courts, juvenile courts, and beyond.
Don’t believe me? Try asserting your First, Fourth, or Fifth Amendment rights in a family court. You’ll be laughed out of the room — if your children haven’t already been taken based on an anonymous tip and a judge’s rubber stamp.
If martial law is officially declared, the Constitution is suspended. That’s not conjecture — that’s legal doctrine. Read Ex parte Milligan (1866), in which the Supreme Court ruled that martial law cannot be imposed where civilian courts are open. Guess what? They’re not “open” any more — they’re rigged, corrupt, and run by private bar guilds with no accountability to the people.

It’s an old tactic. In 1933, Adolf Hitler used the Reichstag fire to suspend civil liberties and pass the Enabling Act. In 1992, Peru’s President Alberto Fujimori used a wave of urban chaos and domestic terrorism to declare martial law and dissolve the legislature. In post-9/11 America, we got the Patriot Act, a surveillance dragnet sold to us under the guise of “security.” Now we’re watching the same script play out again — engineered chaos followed by calls for federalized control and, eventually, constitutional suspension under the banner of “safety.”
Welcome to the final phase of the coup.
While MAGA people wait for Trump to ride in on a white horse, they miss the point: He’s not going to save us. He can’t. No one man can reverse decades of infiltration, judicial fraud, and corporatist collusion.
And note to MAGA: Trump gave immunity to the creators of the COVID-19 vaccine, and his “one big, beautiful bill” is fraught with overspending and a government AI takeover, in which all participants have been granted immunity for wrongdoing for a decade.
America doesn’t need a savior. It needs a reckoning.
It needs state nullification, legal rebellion, and mass resistance.
If waving a Mexican or Palestinian flag while burning the Stars and Stripes makes you feel at home, then I’ve got a simple solution: Go home.
Because this isn’t your country. You didn’t build it. You’re not assimilating. You’re here to take, not contribute.
And to my liberal neighbors still crying about how “un-American” it is not to allow these criminals to stay: What’s un-American is letting our Constitution be shredded. What’s un-American is flooding our cities with criminals while veterans sleep under bridges.
What’s un-American is weaponizing immigration to collapse a sovereign nation.
We’re not xenophobes. We’re patriots, and we’re done being silent.
Anti-Semitic threats and acts of violence in the U.S. are surging amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, fueled by supporters of the terrorist group Hamas.
Such threats pushed organizers of an annual pro-Israel gathering in Texas to abruptly and indefinitely postpone their event.
'The first [summit] was held in Nashville and, ironically, was nearly canceled due to threats from pro-Hamas thugs.'
The Israel Summit — hosted by HaYovel and its media initiative, the Israel Guys — was scheduled to be held in Dallas, Texas, from June 9 to 11.
HaYovel expected to host over 1,000 attendees but instead announced this week that it would postpone the summit, after the organization received numerous threats from American pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas groups.
Luke Hilton, HaYovel's chief operating officer, told Blaze News that the heightened threat levels forced the organization to switch venues twice mere days before the event.

"Indirect and direct threats were issued both against our organization, the Israel Summit, and against the venue who were hosting us," Hilton stated.
The organization estimated that the "overwhelming security burden" would have cost "hundreds of thousands of dollars." HaYovel highlighted the "sobering reality" that "peaceful, pro-Israel gatherings in America increasingly require extraordinary security measures to remain viable."
The second venue, which initially agreed to cover the needed security, pulled the plug days ahead of the event, citing "escalating safety concerns and mounting external pressures," according to HaYovel.
Despite "full cooperation and assistance" from the sheriff's department, the Texas Rangers, and the FBI, the organization felt it had no choice but to postpone the summit.
Hilton revealed further details about the threats to Blaze News, noting that they began with pro-Palestinian activist groups on social media.
"Then, according to law enforcement and intelligence, they moved to the dark web to avoid further detection," he explained. "The threats used language such as 'we need to target' the Israel Summit and the host venue."
"Statements to target any Jew or Christian who is standing with Israel cannot be understood any other way than a direct call for violence," Hilton stated, citing the recent deadly shooting in Washington, D.C., of two Israeli embassy staffers and the terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, that caused multiple injuries.
The organization still hopes to host the event on a new date and at a different venue within the coming months.
Yet, this is not the first time the Israel Summit has faced threats.
"Next week's summit was set to be our second annual event. The first one was held in Nashville and, ironically, was nearly canceled due to threats from pro-Hamas thugs. Dave Ramsey stepped in at the last minute, hosting the summit at his headquarters in Franklin, [Tennessee]," Hilton told Blaze News.
'The ongoing Israel-HAMAS conflict may motivate other violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators with similar grievances to conduct violence against Jewish and Israeli communities and their supporters.'
David Friedman, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel and the founder of One Jewish State, was one of the speakers slated to present at the 2025 Israel Summit. He reacted to its postponement in a post on X.
"This is America in 2025. A pro-Israel conference scheduled for Dallas this week (where I was scheduled to speak), which sold over 1000 tickets, was forced to cancel because of threats from violent Jihadists," Friedman stated. "When [President Donald Trump] says we need to take our country back, this is a good example of what he means!"

Trump had previously pledged to vigorously combat the nation's escalating anti-Semitism by "aggressively" prosecuting terrorist threats against the Jewish community and deporting Hamas sympathizers.
On Thursday, Trump's FBI released a public service announcement regarding elevated threats toward Israeli and Jewish communities, noting the murder of the embassy staffers and the attack in Boulder.
"The ongoing Israel-HAMAS conflict may motivate other violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators with similar grievances to conduct violence against Jewish and Israeli communities and their supporters," the agency warned. "Foreign terrorist organizations also may try to exploit narratives related to the conflict to inspire attacks in the United States. The FBI and DHS therefore urge the public to remain vigilant and to report any threats of violence or suspicious activity to law enforcement."
When reached for comment about the threats posed against the Israel Summit organizers and host venues, the FBI Dallas Field Office told Blaze News, "The FBI works with our law enforcement partners every day to detect and stop acts of targeted violence. Our goal is always to get ahead of threats. We remind members of the public that if you observe any suspicious activity to quickly report it to law enforcement. The FBI remains committed to working with our partners to protect our communities against acts of violence and other threats."
Hilton called the escalating anti-Semitic threats a "wake-up call for Americans."
"We believe that this is a wake-up call for Americans to take action and come together to publicly stand with Israel and the Jewish people in the U.S. today," he told Blaze News.
The Dallas County Sheriff's Department, the Dallas Police Department, and the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

A radical group that helped organize anti-Israel protests at Columbia University is part of the same anti-American propaganda network behind a new documentary on Apple’s streaming platform that portrays those protests in a positive light and glosses over students' support for Hamas and other terrorist groups.
