The horrific mob killing of Dipu Chandra Das underscores a troubling pattern of violence against Hindus and religious minorities in Bangladesh. We must stand together—from Queens to across the globe—for human rights, justice, and religious freedom.
CLARIFICATION: Rav Hershel Schachter, rosh yeshiva at Yeshiva Rabbeinu Yitzchok Elchonon (RIETS) of Yeshiva University, releases video stating that although his signature appears on a letter to NY Governor Kathy Hochul asking for clemency for Nechemya Weberman, a convicted child abuser, he retracted that signature because he was not told the full story, and says he should remain in prison.
WATCH: Zvi Gluck of Amudim released the attached video after a group of respected rabbonim sent a letter to NY Governor Kathy Hochul asking for clemency for Nechemya Weberman, a convicted child abuser.
Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.
This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down.
@misfitpatriot When your ‘principles’ turn into sneering at Christians or any group, it’s not conservatism or conviction — it’s just ego dressed up as ideology.
You've been lied to about what is happening in Gaza. Here's the truth:
-Hamas started this war, butchering about 1,200 Israelis and taking hundreds hostage (They still hold 50 in tunnels and cages).
-Israel sent 1.5 BILLION meals into Gaza, enough for 2 million people for more than 2 years.
-Hamas steals 90% of aid, selling it to fund terror and buy loyalty. Hamas made over half a billion dollars least year from manipulating the aid system.
-UN agencies like UNRWA are infiltrated by Hamas and help spread its lies.
This isn't famine. It's a terror economy. Read AND RE-TWEET this official report that the media refuses to share with you!
@POTUS@AGPamBondi@ChadMizelle47@TheLeoTerrell
Hamas is holding up the ceasefire over who controls food aid.
They’re demanding GHF be removed and the @UN put back in charge.
Why? Because control of aid means control of Gaza. With the UN in charge, Hamas steals, taxes, resells, and stays in power.
And don’t forget: UNRWA staff helped on Oct 7.
We’ve been sounding the alarm for weeks. Now @washingtonpost just blew the UN’s cover.
Hamas hijacks UN aid, resells it, and pockets the profit. GHF’s secure model blocks the looting, so Hamas wants us gone.
Let’s break down the WaPo piece. 🧵
Thank you @SecRubio for imposing sanctions on Francesca Albanese. Good has triumphed over evil. I proudly joined @UNWatch's campaign calling for this historic and unprecedented move. Now it is time for other countries to follow suit!
I just got an email from an Israeli student at @Columbia.
Don't listen to me. Listen to them:
"Dear Shai,
I am writing to you as a concerned Israeli student at Columbia University, along with 133 fellow Israeli students. On April 23rd at 8:00 AM, we addressed a letter to President Shafik, Co-Chair Shipman, and Co-Chair Greenwald, expressing our fears about our safety on campus and the critical need for immediate action. I have attached the letter for your reference. We are reaching out because we believe that our concerns are being neglected by the university administration, and we recognize the significant role that the media is playing in these recent events. We fear further escalation of violence on campus and want to ensure that our voices are heard and that preventive measures are taken to safeguard all students. We believe that increased media attention can help bring about the necessary changes and hold the university accountable for ensuring a safe environment for everyone.
We request that when posting the letter it is done anonymously, as we currently fear for our personal safety."
I recently sat down with @ShaiDavidai to discuss everything that’s happening at @Columbia University. We must support Shai and the entire Jewish community on Columbia’s campus.
BREAKING NEWS:
This morning Professor @ShaiDavidai attempted to enter @Columbia and learned that his CUID had been deactivated. The university’s COO was standing by watching this unfold and informed Shai that it has been deactivated because the school cannot guarantee his safety.
So instead of addressing the pro-Hamas mob, the university decided to deactivate a Jewish professor’s ID. Meanwhile, the pro-Hamas professors, including Professor Abdou who the President Shafik told @RepStefanik had been removed from campus last week, are free to roam around campus along with numerous suspended students and outside agitators.
It is time for all Jewish faculty to step up and speak out before all Jewish professors and students are barred from campus. We are at a key inflection point. Jewish faculty SPEAK UP. Silence is complicity.

It almost doesn’t matter what’s going on or being said and done by the crazed mob at @Columbia, and it almost doesn’t matter what is being said and done at @Harvard or @Yale or any other institution in the United States. The reality is not just that it’s happening, but that it’s being allowed to happen and continue to happen.
For all the millions of Americans who say they’re against it, it is still happening and being allowed to happen nonetheless. Allowing it to happen is complicity in what is happening. The fact that no police, no senator, no congressman, no member of the administration, and not even the President of the United States has stepped in to stop what the entire world sees happening, shows that this is what America represents right now.
It doesn’t matter what may happen in November. It doesn’t matter if Trump wins or Biden wins or anyone wins for that matter. We are a little more than 6 months away from the elections, and 6 months is an age away.
This sheer unprecedented insanity began 6 months ago, and look at just how horrific it is 6 months later. It beggars belief that one must even think what it may be like in 6 months from now while everybody simply stands around and allows it to happen. We are watching the rise of the Nazis all over again, except not over the course of years, but months. Based on the current speed it has spread and grown, God only knows what will come between now and whenever someone out there has the balls and common sense to do something about it.
@POTUS, nobody cares anymore about your stupid policies and grandstanding, and pretending that you’re in control. And it’s not just you. It’s every damned politician and law enforcement official in the entire United States. You all talk, a lot. But you are all in charge of what was once the greatest nation in the world. Look at what YOU have all allowed to become of the United States of America. You have no authority, not one of you, to pass judgement on any nation in the world while you so pathetically and willingly sit idly by while your country falls apart in front of your eyes and yet not one of you does anything about it.
The world used to look at America as the beacon of hope, of strength and of standing for what is right. And today, on April 21st, 2024, you have allowed the United States to become lame hostages to hatred and terrorists.
Leadership is about courage… the courage to stand for what’s right. It doesn’t matter if it’s an election year. Where is your courage? Where is your integrity? Where is your leadership???
The United Kingdom has fallen. Several other countries are falling. But none of them represent what the USA stood for, and should stand for now. This is the time where the US should be setting the example to the whole world. And the only example the US is setting, from all of you, is an example of absolute cowardice, weakness, and how spineless politicians hide behind grey laws to allow them to get away with doing nothing.
Real people are getting hurt, while real terrorists are being allowed and encouraged to run riot and destroy every fiber of what once made America the colossus on the world stage. And as the world watches you all doing nothing, they too sit around scratching their balls doing… nothing.
The fucking Nazis are winning and spreading like locusts, and you’re all dickwaving. You’re not even a Chamberlain. You’re even more pathetic. I never in a million years would have thought I’d live to see America collapse so timidly. You are all in violation of your sworn duties. The world is burning because you’re all so damned weak and gutless.
Oct 7 didn’t just bring out the true face of islamism and extremism… it brought out the true face of your unconscionable and pitiful pusillanimity.
The world needs true leadership now more than ever before. But right now, it has none. You’re simply not cut out for the task at hand. God help us all.
The eyes of the nation are on @Columbia looking for an indication on whether law and order will prevail over hate, harassment and lawlessness. On Thursday, President Shafik ordered the NYPD to clear the illegal tents and suspend those who refused to leave. About 100 we’re arrested. Since then, the tents are back, the harassment and hate speech are worse than ever and the NYPD is no longer welcome on campus. The rogue students are now saying their suspension has been reversed. Many Jewish students have gone home fearing for their own safety. And almost the entire faculty is siding with the antisemites.
Columbia, the world is watching. Are you going to protect Jewish students and end the harassment, or will you be recorded in history as the administration that led the nation in 2024 in turning its back on Jewish students? Your silence since your charade before Congress last Wednesday has been deafening.
For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted with chants of "Go back to Africa."
Or imagine that a gay student at Yale was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit in the eye with a flagpole.
Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security.
There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians.
Just remember the righteous—and rightful—outrage over the white supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where neo-Nazis chanted “The Jews will not replace us.”
This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators did all of the above—only it was directed at Jews. They told Columbia students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag. And an Orthodox rabbi at Columbia told students to go home for their safety.
What will the response be?

@elderofziyon Professor Franke specializes in sexual and gender identities and human right- I think she needs to resume her studies. In Gaza there are NO rights. She would be killed if she expressed herself. She forgot that Israel is the Democracy here.
