'Hamas are coming,' pro-Palestinian group scream at fundraiser attended by Noa Argamani.
 +
Jerusalem Post, June 29, 2025.
 +
 +
People, alleged to be members of the University of Windsor’s Palestinian Solidarity Group (PSG), yelled “Hamas are coming” and a number of other statements at a fundraiser in Canada attended by former hostage Noa Argamani on Wednesday, the rescued hostage confirmed on X/Twitter on Saturday.
 +
 +
“Hamas came. Hamas kidnapped me. Hamas murdered my friends. But sI won; I survived. Now, I speak for those who can’t,” Argamani shared. “I’ll keep exposing Hamas’s crimes and fighting for the hostages’ release—including my partner, Avinatan.
 +
 +
“I refuse to let terror sympathizers control the narrative.”
 +
 +
A video of the incident shared by Argamani claimed that the alleged PSG members also blocked attendees from entering and exiting the building.
 +
 +
Argamani was attending the fundraiser as part of a trip facilitated by the Jewish National Fund (JNF), according to the Toronto Star….

Posh Virginia private school that allegedly praised Hitler expelled three Jewish students who faced antisemitic bullying: complaint.
 +
By Caitlin McCormack.
 +
Published July 1, 2025, 7:18 p.m. ET
 +
 +
A Northern Virginia private school celebrated as one of the best in the country allegedly expelled three Jewish siblings who endured relentless antisemitic harassment in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attack on Israel — all while their community celebrated Hitler as a “strong historical leader.”
 +
 +
The Brandeis Center filed the complaint on behalf of the children’s parents, Brian Vazquez and Ashok Roy, against the Nysmith School for the Gifted, a K-8 academy located just an hour outside of Washington, DC, and its headmaster, Kenneth Nysmith.
 +
 +
The complaint asserts that the couple’s 11-year-old daughter faced a “campaign of ostracizing” led by a handful of “popular students” on the sole basis that she is Jewish during the 2024-2025 school year.
 +
 +
The Nysmith School for the Gifted allegedly expelled three Jewish students in March.
 +
The students, in an apparent gross misunderstanding of the conflict, cruelly taunted the girl for the death of her uncle, telling her they were glad he “died in the October 7th attack,” according to the complaint.
 +
 +
Her uncle died years earlier with no relation to the terror attack.
 +
 +
Some students mocked her for being “Israeli” and dubbed Jews as “baby killers[sic],” unabashedly saying that “they deserve to die because of what is happening in Gaza,” the complaint stated.
 +
 +
Others doubled down and insisted that “everyone at the school is against Jews and Israel, which is why they hate you,” according to the complaint.
 +
 +
One middle school social studies project tasked the students to sketch a child-sized drawing including “six traits of a leader” following their studies of Niccolo Machiavelli’s “The Prince,” according to an email from the Nysmith School.
 +
 +
The Frankenstein amalgam included weaponry associated with rulers from Machiavelli’s time and a tie typically worn by modern-day businessmen or politicians.
 +
 +
The drawing’s face, though, depicted a man’s face with Adolf Hitler’s unmistakable toothbrush mustache and slicked-back hair.
 +
 +
The school had a middle school project centered around their studies of Niccolo Machiavelli in which one group highlighted Adolf Hitler as a strong leader.
 +
Vazquez and Roy reported the repeated incidents to Nysmith, who promised to take action. Weeks passed and no changes were made, according to the complaint.
 +
 +
If anything, all change moved swiftly away from protecting Vazquez and Roy’s daughter as the school soon thereafter cancelled its annual talk hosting a Holocaust survivor to speak with the student body about antisemitism.
 +
 +
Vazquez and Roy had one final meeting with Nysmith on March 11 to address how the harassment escalated ever since the school hung up a Palestinian flag in the school gym mere days after nixing the Holocaust talk.
 +
 +
The Palestine flag hung alongside dozens of others for different countries, including Israel. The parents didn’t take any issue with the Palestine flag being displayed, but were concerned that some students were using it to bolster their claims that “nobody likes [Jewish people],” the complaint stated.
 +
 +
Nysmith, having seemingly run out of patience, abruptly told the couple that their daughter should “toughen up,” the complaint stated.
 +
 +
Two days later, the parents received an email from the school notifying them of their children’s expulsion, effective immediately in spite of their consistent involvement with the community and exemplary grades.
 +
 +
“A healthy partnership is required to help guide and nurture young children through tumultuous times and complex current events. I do not see a path forward without trust, understanding, and cooperation. In our meeting, I felt very clearly that you do not think Nysmith is the right school for your family,” Nysmith wrote.
 +
 +
Vazquez and Roy never anticipated the expulsion and had already paid tuition for the following academic year, the complaint said.
 +
 +
Nysmith’s email noted that the family would receive a check in the mail within two weeks for all fees paid that year and for the following year. It is unclear if the check was ever sent.
 +
 +
“Through [the Nysmith School’s] actions, the administration sent a clear message: bullying is acceptable, as long as it’s against Jewish families. We must all emulate the strength of these parents and their children and stand up to anti-Semitism and its perpetrators, as difficult as it may be,” Kenneth L. Marcus, chairman of the Brandeis Center, wrote in a statement.
 +
 +
The complaint is seeking compensatory damages for a slew of costs such as the children’s online courses and the inclusion of annual antisemitism training for the Nysmith school community.

@ArmyOfParents.
 +
Who in Northern Virginia has children at
 +
@NysmithSchool for the gifted? If you do, you need to demand the resignation of the headmaster or pull your children out immediately. The rapid rise of antisemitism has emboldened antisemites, who are singing the praises of Hitler and targeting Jewish students. This is not only disgusting, but a blatant violation of civil rights.
 +
@JasonMiyaresVA MUST address this immediately and @GovernorVA MUST condemn the actions of Nysmith School.  @EndAntisemetism @StandWithUs @JCRCgw @Yael4Hanover @KatzForChair @WMALDC @JulieGunlock @LarryOConnor @ChrisPlanteShow @marklevinshow @wapo @dcexaminer

When Propaganda Poses as Journalism: the Collapse of “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack”.
 +
The BBC spiked the film for failing basic impartiality, but Channel 4 broadcast it and Zeteo monetised it—while both platforms ignored the tunnels, the hostages and every legal nuance that shatters its narrative.

When even the BBC, an outlet routinely accused of leaning toward the Palestinian side, refused to air “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack” on grounds of blatant bias, you would expect other publishers to tread carefully.
 +
 +
Instead, Channel 4 rushed the footage to prime time and Zeteo, the new subscription platform launched by Mehdi Hasan, splashed it online as “the film the establishment tried to silence,” complete with paywall and fundraising push. Viewers got ninety minutes of heart-rending images, bleeding children, frantic surgeons, dark hospital corridors, but not a second of the evidence that Hamas built fortified tunnels under wards, stashed weapons beside incubators, and paraded Israeli hostages through emergency rooms.
 +
 +
Strip away those facts and what remains is not a documentary; it is a slick propaganda reel that both Channel 4 and Zeteo chose to platform and profit from. The analysis that follows restores the missing half of the story and shows why the BBC’s red flag was the only responsible editorial decision.

UK parliament moves to ban Palestine Action as a terror group.

British lawmakers voted on Wednesday to designate the anti-Israel activist group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization after its followers vandalized two aircraft at a Royal Air Force base on June 20, according to Reuters.
 +
 +
United Kingdom Home Secretary Yvette Cooper had sought the proscription under section 3 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The measure, passed by a significant majority in the House of Commons (385 to 26), would make it a crime to belong to or support Palestine Action, placing it on the same legal footing as groups like Al Qaeda and Islamic State under U.K. law.

Overall, hate crimes were down last year, but there was what the commonwealth called a “troubling” 20.5% increase in antisemitic hate crimes in 2024.
