She is the first Special Rapporteur to be condemned by both Germany and France for antisemitism and was condemned by then U.S. Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt, then U.S. Ambassador to the UN…

It is predictable but still problematic to see Israel scapegoated as the cause of the riots raging across the United Kingdom involving far-right elements. This is happening across social media. The claims have no basis and contribute to the increasing anxiety among the Jews in the…
Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed on July 31, 2024 in Tehran, led the so-called politburo of Hamas, a US-designated Islamist terror organization dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
