Cornell University is being sued by a former student, who alleges she went to a Chi Pi fraternity party in 2024 and was drugged and raped by seven men.

She alleges a man at the frat house sent a message to the frat's Snapchat group chat suggesting a woman was available for sex. She claims she was raped for hours and filed a report with the university police department about three weeks later.

According to the woman’s complaint and her lawyer, none of the men were arrested and that after an investigation, only two of the accused were expelled. She is now suing the school and the fraternity members.

Cornell said in a statement it "investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with university policies." Read more at the linked article. @lilialuciano

All 7 Chi Phi members are named as defendants in a civil lawsuit alleging they drugged a Cornell student with ketamine and sexually assaulted her for HOURS in 2024. The suit says a message advertising “free p***y” was sent to the frat group chat while she was incapacitated.

And "men" showed up to take him up on his offer.

And Cornell’s response? The lawsuit alleges some were given the opportunity to MITIGATE THEIR CONDUCT BY WRITING ESSAYS.

She left Cornell. 5 of them were ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION AT CORNELL.

Remember their names and faces.

Evidence has emerged that the PLO mission to the United Nations sent messages to delegations asking them to "bring as many staff as possible to the assembly hall and collectively walk out of the assembly once the Israeli prime minister is announced."

A German town council in Heidenau just held a secret ballot to ban new Stolpersteine — the small brass plaques that name the Jews dragged from those exact doorsteps and murdered.
They don’t want anyone stumbling over the names in the street. They’d rather hide the dead in a cemetery.

Israel’s ambassador says he is “ashamed.”
In the middle of the Gaza frenzy, this is how Holocaust memory is quietly erased — with a vote no one has to own. Disgraceful.

Two student leaders at Appalachian State University alerted police after spotting an anonymous social media post threatening a mass shooting at a campus screening of “We Will Dance Again,” a documentary about the massacre of Israeli music festival-goers on October 7.

Evelyn Annette Summers, who is in her early 20s, was arrested March 24 and charged with one felony count of communicating a threat of mass violence on educational property, according to North Carolina court records.

Neil Herland, an award-winning veteran journalist at CBC, has been pulled off the air and received disciplinary action.

This comes after he filmed a protest taking place outside a Jewish synagogue during Yom Kippur services.

Neil, who is Jewish, posted it to social media. Shortly after, he was quietly removed from the air by CBC.

Simply documenting a story, while sharing his own personal history as a Jew, Neil was reprimanded.

He wasn't spinning any story; he was reporting on it. The news org he works for wouldn't have that.

NEW: Just ONE DAY after Kamala Harris flew to Michigan to campaign with Abdul El-Sayed, the Dem Senate nominee quietly headlined a Dearborn fundraiser alongside Osama Siblani, who has called Hamas and Hezbollah “freedom fighters” and praised Nasrallah as a “hero.”

Also there: Iranian-trained cleric Mohammad Ali Elahi, who previously told his mosque that voting for El-Sayed was as religiously obligatory as PRAYER, and Amer Zahr, who has publicly said he “stands with” Hamas and Hezbollah.

The event was not open to press.

Hasan is the least of this guys issues.

Great reporting from @ChuckRossDC at the @FreeBeacon!

Anti-Zionism is really melting people's brains. Apparently nobody pauses to reflect on the obvious contradiction here: if Israel intends to indiscriminately kill every single Gazan (which is what "genocide" means), why on earth would it pour resources into sophisticated AI algorithms to calculate the expected civilian casualties of every single strike? What perpetrator of a "genocide" would ever bother doing that?

It's like a librarian meticulously cataloguing every book by genre and quality, only to shovel them all into the same bonfire. Or a doctor carefully identifying which cells are cancerous, then administering the same lethal dose to every cell in your body. Are these people just plain stupid?

Of course, the Israeli army is not beyond reproach, and there have very likely been war crimes in the current war. But can the critics at least get clear about what exactly they're accusing Israel of?

Eric Avrutov, 31, allegedly cornered the 66-year-old religious leader without warning and dealt multiple blows on Dahill Road near Cortelyou Road in Kensington around 9:20 p.m.

He was charged with assault, criminal obstruction of breathing and harassment.

The act is not being treated as a hate crime – but it was Avrutov’s second unprovoked assault of the night, according to the NYPD.

About five minutes before he targeted the rabbi, Avrutov slugged another man, 60, on the side of the face as he pumped gas at the Shell station around the corner on Cortelyou Road, police said.

He was charged with assault and harassment in that attack.

Avrutov had also punched a 23-year-old man and 22-year-old woman in the face at random at Brighton 12th Street and Brighton Beach Avenue around 11:30 a.m. Sunday, police said.

He was granted supervised release because the top charge against him – misdemeanor assault – was not eligible for bail.

Avrutov was also arrested on Sunday for allegedly showing up at his grandmother’s Brooklyn home in violation of an order of protection back in June, and charged with criminal contempt, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors asked that he be held on $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bond, but he was again cut loose on supervision, according to the DA’s office.

Avrutov’s record also includes a gun possession rap from 2024, one criminal trespass arrest and another bust for violating an order of protection, police said.

Germany’s far-left socialist party Die Linke has won Berlin’s state election for the first time, taking 25.7% of the vote and finishing well ahead of the CDU on 18.8%.

One voting bloc backed the party particularly heavily: Muslims.

A new analysis found that a staggering 51% of Muslim voters in Berlin voted for Die Linke, twice the party’s support across the electorate as a whole. Had only Muslim voters cast ballots, Die Linke would have won an absolute majority.

Die Linke received just 17% among Catholics and 16% among Protestants.

Muslims are estimated to make up roughly 13% of Berlin’s electorate, making them an increasingly significant voting bloc in the German capital.

This is insane. A young Iranian-American describes how his family has been hunted by the IRGC, cites tens of thousands of protesters reportedly killed by the regime, and asks Abdul one simple question: Will you condemn the IRGC?

Abdul refuses.

The snipers of the Islamic Republic aim for the eyes. A pellet gun fired point blank at a face. They want the world to stop watching, so they take away the eyes of the ones who watched.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

As I walked off the CBS set this morning, a young producer stopped me backstage. She was shy. She hesitated. Then she asked: "Did you say a woman were blinded… intentionally? What do you mean?"

I showed her the picture of Kosar. I showed her the picture of Ali. I said: yes. This is not a stray bullet. The snipers of the Islamic Republic aim for the eyes. A pellet gun fired point blank at a face. They want the world to stop watching, so they take away the eyes of the ones who watched.

Kosar was shot in the eye during the Woman Life Freedom uprising. Her friend Ali Zarei was blinded the same way. Now Ali sits on death row, waiting to be executed. Kosar asked me to tell CBS about him. So I did.

More than 10,000 people have been blinded, intentionally, during the Woman Life Freedom and the recent uprisings. This is the real Handmaid's Tale. Yes, you’re fiction is our reality.💔

I carry this burden every time I walk into a studio or when I go on the stage, because some people in the West cannot believe this is happening In the 21st century. Believe it. And say their names.

What's most shocking is how Abdul El-Sayed puts words in this Iranian student's mouth that he never said.

The student never asked El-Sayed to say he supported America's strikes on the regime in Iran. He just asked that El-Sayed have the moral clarity to put values over politics, and denounce the regime that tortured his family.

It's one thing to refuse to condemn a tyrant. It's another to explain to someone oppressed by that tyrant that they are a warmonger, just for seeking support.

The Holocaust killed 40% of Europe's Jews
• Rwanda killed 70% of the Tutsis
• Cambodia killed 1/3 of the entire country
• In Gaza, it is 3% at most, alongside polio vaccines, 2,500 calories a day and leaflets warning civilians to leave

[Max 📟 @MaxNordau]

Scott Galloway lays out the numbers to Abdul El-Sayed.

• The Holocaust killed 40% of Europe's Jews
• Rwanda killed 70% of the Tutsis
• Cambodia killed 1/3 of the entire country
• In Gaza, it is 3% at most, alongside polio vaccines, 2,500 calories a day and leaflets warning civilians to leave

El-Sayed doesn't dispute a single number.

Instead, he says "we want to quibble about the words," and that the word genocide "should be used because it speaks to the moral imperative of action."

Genocide is the word the world coined for the extermination of a people. It is the gravest charge there is. And El-Sayed's case for leveling it at the Jewish state isn't that it's true.

It's that it helps him get what he wants.

INSANE!

The Committee to Protect Journalists (@pressfreedom) has now removed ANOTHER 22 names from its Gaza journalist death database, bringing the total removals to 42, including 28 people it identified as having participated in combat.

Researcher Leslie Kajomovitz (@kikas6652) previously identified alleged terrorist ties in 153 of 212 people on CPJ's list, including 64 she identified as combatants.

@HonestReporting separately identified alleged terrorist ties in 120 of 209 cases.

How many media organizations that parroted CPJ's figures will now issue corrections or investigate the accuracy of their previous reporting?

And even if they do, what happens to the countless hours of television coverage, newspaper articles and social media posts that have already circulated these figures to billions of people?

Those audiences aren't going to see a correction buried months or years later.

There are also very serious questions about CPJ's criteria that aren't even dealt with here. Its external audit assessed whether the organization followed its existing rules, which permit journalists working for Hamas-affiliated media to remain in its database unless they are established to have engaged in combat or otherwise meet its exclusion criteria.

Consider a Hamas journalist accompanying a Hamas terrorist who is actively planning or carrying out an attack against Israel. If Israel strikes the terrorist and both are killed, CPJ will still count the journalist as killed by Israel, even where the strike complied fully with international law.

CPJ keeps declaring that Israel has killed more journalists than anywhere else in the world. Well, when Gaza has become a place where terrorists routinely pose as journalists, and organizations like CPJ help legitimize those claims by putting them on their casualty lists, of course you end up with an absurdly inflated “journalist” death toll.

Massive credit to goes to Leslie Kajomovitz (@kikas6652) , @HonestReporting , @Aizenberg55, @EFischberger, @MiddleEastBuka, @JoeTruzman, @GabrielEpsteinX, and many others for their scrutiny and subsequent reporting of these records. The latest removals leave substantial questions about CPJ's verification process and how newsrooms have presented its findings.

I hope this is just the beginning.

Yehia Amin, an Arab man living in New York, stalked a group of kippah-wearing Jews through Times Square while shouting “Hamas should kill more of you,” “may Allah kill all the Jews” and “all Jews should die.”

He has now been sentenced to just 90 days in jail, which made him smile and flash a “victory sign” at his sentencing.

Judge Althea Drysdale confronted him, saying, “This is a serious matter. Why are you smiling?” Amin replied through an Arabic interpreter that he wanted to look good for photographs.

Amin followed a 23-year-old Israeli tourist and four friends for several minutes on October 18, 2023, just 11 days after the Hamas-led October 7 attack. When the group tried to escape, prosecutors said Amin ran up behind the Israeli and punched him in the back of the head. He originally faced seven charges but pleaded guilty in March to third-degree assault as a hate crime under a deal with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

Members of the New York Jewish Community Judicial Watch Group criticized the plea deal as too lenient, with founder Glenn Richter calling the 90-day sentence a “slap on the wrist.”
