“Hatzola didn’t care she wasn’t Jewish, they are available to anyone.”
A British woman is speaking out in support of Jewish charity ambulance service Hatzola in the wake of arson attacks on its ambulances and the ensuing criticism that it only serves Jews.
According to the woman, Hatzola saved the life of her non-Jewish au pair when a shard of broken glass severed an artery in her arm.
She called regular (NHS) emergency services, but there was a wait. She then called Hatzola and they arrived within minutes.
When the NHS can’t get there in time, Hatzola swoops in to serve people in need, and doesn’t care if they’re Jewish or not.
That’s what makes the recent arson attack in Golders Green so utterly abhorrent. Four Hatzola ambulances were set on fire in what police are treating as an antisemitic hate crime.
The organization targeted in this attack shows up to save lives, no matter who needs help. Hatzola does not discriminate, but those who attack it do.
Kuwaiti dissident Jasem Aljuraid just did what too few are willing to do at the Human Rights Council: tell the truth. He called out the lie behind the constant demonization of Israel, reminded the world that Jews are indigenous to their homeland, and asked the question the UN never wants to answer: when will the ritual obsession with condemning Israel end?
Israel is not the problem. Israel is fighting Hamas, confronting it’s funders and ideological parent the IRGC, and standing between the free world and genocidal extremism. Maybe it’s time the UN stopped attacking Israel and started learning from it.

Former Florida state attorney Dave Aronberg highlighted the high stakes of the DOJ’s new lawsuit against Harvard, which accuses the university of failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment and intimidation.
The Justice Department says Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by showing “deliberate indifference” when Jewish and Israeli students were targeted. The lawsuit seeks wide reforms, including oversight measures and the recovery of federal funds.
The complaint alleges that the university didn’t enforce its own rules equally when Jews and Israelis were targeted. As Aronberg emphasizes, much of the evidence in the case comes from Harvard’s own internal report about antisemitism.
Last week, UC Berkeley agreed to pay $1 million to settle a lawsuit alleging the university failed to protect Jewish students and address antisemitism on campus.
The settlement requires Berkeley to revise nondiscrimination policies, strengthen how discrimination complaints are handled, and provide additional anti-discrimination and antisemitism training.
It also makes clear that student organizations cannot use their bylaws to ban ‘Zionist’ speakers. Berkeley said the settlement involved no admission of wrongdoing, but the outcome is still a major signal that universities are being forced to take anti-Jewish discrimination more seriously.
Spring break in Fort Lauderdale: sun, beaches, and... some very honest answers on the news.
Not every student is tuned into global politics (and to be fair, a few quick interviews don’t represent an entire generation). But moments like this are a reminder of something important: there’s still a gap between what’s happening in the world and what many people know about it.
The reality is, the situation in Iran isn’t distant or abstract. It’s about millions of people living under a regime that has oppressed its own citizens and fueled instability far beyond its borders.
At the same time, there’s something refreshing about seeing young people actually out in the world — talking, connecting, living life offline. The goal isn’t to mock that, but to bridge the gap: to bring awareness of these global issues into everyday conversations.
Because understanding what’s at stake shouldn’t require being glued to the news, but it does matter.
Jonathan Amiel, Chair of the McGill Law Faculty Advisory Board, recently resigned over unchecked antisemitism at the university, pointing to the Law Students’ Association referendum endorsing an academic boycott of Israeli institutions, which itself reflects a broader institutional failure.
In his resignation letter, addressed to the Dean of the Faculty of Law, he announced that he is withdrawing all current and future pledges and donations to the university on behalf of himself and his foundation.
He described an escalating atmosphere of hostility toward Jewish students, faculty, and alumni, along with an institutional unwillingness to respond with the seriousness and clarity the moment demands.
As he wrote, “An institution that cannot ensure the safety, inclusion, and dignity of its own community cannot credibly sustain its claim to excellence.”
Jonathan Amiel’s courage in telling the truth about what’s happening at the University, at obvious personal cost, is something we need more of from people of his stature and position.
Belgian universities Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Ghent University, and the University of Antwerp are planning to jointly award an honorary doctorate to Francesca Albanese, the notoriously anti-Israel UN Special Rapporteur.
Honoring her would serve to legitimize extreme anti-Israel rhetoric that fuels antisemitism under the guise of “political discourse.”
Alabanese has spent much of her time over the past three years smearing and demonizing the Jewish state.
No educational institution should honor hateful, anti-infellectual propagandists.
Anti-American sentiments and open terror support broke out at a “Hands Off Iran” protest in Philadelphia.
One speaker expressed support for the Islamic Republic’s genocidal regime, praised Hamas and Hezbollah, and even celebrated the deaths of U.S. soldiers.
When asked directly whether he hates America, he answered: “May a Hamas rocket blow up your family’s home.” These rallies are enabling blatant hatred, terror glorification, and open hostility toward America.
That is not activism, it’s not “anti-war,” and it’s not solidarity. It is support for terror, hatred for American values, and open sympathy for regimes and groups built on violence.
