Influential Palestinian author callously calls DC Jewish Museum victims ‘genocide[sic] cheerleaders’.
 +
By Katherine Donlevy.
 +
Published May 24, 2025.
 +
A prominent Palestinian author and activist callously ripped the two victims of the DC Jewish Museum shooting as “genocide[sic] cheerleaders” in a series of hateful tweets — saying she was shocked the bloodshed hadn’t “happened sooner.”
 +
 +
Susan Abulhawa, who served as the director of the controversial 2023 “Palestine Writes” festival at the University of Pennsylvania, fired off numerous posts that apparently supported suspected shooter Elias Rodriguez’s actions just hours after he allegedly killed two Israeli embassy staffers.

Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, who were engaged to be married, were attending a Jewish conference of the American Jewish Committee focused on fostering peace when they were killed on Wednesday.

Washington Post asked "Where do Jews belong?" after DC shooting. The internet went stir-crazy.
 +
The Washington Post is facing intense backlash for an offensive headline that echoed antisemitic tropes following the murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C.
 +
Gila Isaacson. May 25, 2025.
 +
 +
The Washington Post faced fierce backlash on Friday for a tone-deaf and widely criticized article that many have branded as blatantly antisemitic. The piece, titled “For U.S. Jews, D.C. Museum Killings Deepen Resolve – and Fear,” included a subheading and promotional tweet that insensitively questioned “where Jews belong” following the tragic shooting of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday evening.

“Where Jews belong”?
 +
No newspaper would ever dare say that about any other ethnic or religious group.

“Where Asians belong?” “Where Muslims belong?” It would be a scandal. And rightfully so.
 +
But because it’s about Jews, it’s somehow acceptable?

That’s deeply wrong.

Former Israeli hostage tells French FM: ‘It’s either us or them’.

 +
Former Hamas hostage Agam Berger told French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot during a meeting in France on Saturday that Israel has no choice but to fight the terrorist group.
 +
 +
“As soon as there is a war of survival over our land, that’s what we will do. They don’t want ‘togetherness,'” said Berger, referring to Hamas. “Diplomatic solutions won’t work because it’s either us or them,” she added.
 +
 +
Berger, 20, an Israel Defense Forces field observer, was released from Gaza on Jan. 30 after 482 days in Hamas captivity. She was abducted by Hamas terrorists from the IDF’s Nahal Oz outpost during the terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023 invasion of southern Israel.

Bombshell Report Says British Government Knowingly Funding Hamas With Millions.
 +
By Hank Berrien, May 25, 2025.
 +
 +
A bombshell new report states that the British government is knowingly sending millions of pounds to the terrorist group Hamas.
 +
 +
NGO Monitor obtained a British Consulate-General in Jerusalem (BCGJ) document dated November 2022 with a plan for “UK Humanitarian Support in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.”
 +
 +
The document notes distribution of “multi-purpose cash” assistance in Gaza. The document states, “The cash assistance component will be implemented in coordination with the Ministry of Social Development MoSD. … The MoSD in Gaza is affiliated with the de facto authorities and thus UK Aid can be linked directly or indirectly with supporting the de factor [sic] authority (Hamas) in Gaza which is part of a proscribed group...

 +
(May 26, 2025 / JNS)
 +
The United Kingdom is one of the chief funders of Hamas, Israel’s Channel 12 “Weekend News” reported on Saturday night.
 +
 +
While a great deal of the money comes from private donations to so-called Muslim “charities,” the investigation revealed that the British government also funds the terrorist group. Admittedly, the money reaches Hamas indirectly, via UNICEF, but the British Foreign Office is aware of the terror connection, as evidenced by an internal 2022 report.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation board disappointed by head’s ‘sudden’ resignation

 +

(May 25, 2025 / JNS)
 +
The board of the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation stated just before midnight late on Sunday night that it is disappointed” by the “sudden” resignation of Jake Wood, the group’s executive director, some six hours prior.
 +
 +
“He has been a passionate advocate for the need to safely deliver humanitarian assistance to Gazans without diversion or delay, and achieved real progress for the entire humanitarian community in the short time he was involved in this effort,” the board stated. “The fact that aid is beginning to trickle back into Gaza is a testament to his work.”
 +
 +
The foundation is part of a plan to circumvent the United Nations and to deliver aid to Gazans without supplies falling into the hands of Hamas.
 +
 +
“Unfortunately, from the moment GHF was announced, those who benefit from the status quo have been more focused on tearing this apart than on getting aid in, afraid that new, creative solutions to intractable problems might actually succeed,” the foundation board stated.
 +
 +
“We will not be deterred,” it added. “Our trucks are loaded and ready to go. Beginning Monday, May 26, GHF will begin direct aid delivery in Gaza, reaching over 1 million Palestinians by the end of the week. We plan to scale rapidly to serve the full population in the weeks ahead.”
