On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has become the first American Pope in the history of the Catholic Church - Pope Leo XIV. Prevost's election reflects his close alignment with Pope Francis's vision on issues like the environment, poverty, and synodality. We'll see what he does, but hopefully, he is more along the lines of John Paul II. His extensive missionary work in Peru and fluency in multiple languages were likely factors in his selection by the papal conclave. Later, President Trump's deal with Britain really is a very big deal. It's part of his strategy to open worldwide markets and create a more market-oriented global economy, which is why it is pro-capitalism and more free-market oriented. He imposed tariffs and reciprocity on other countries for leverage to force them to lower their tariffs and reduce foreign government subsidies of their businesses. Trump is creating the most open market system in modern world history. Afterward, Sen Tom Cotton calls in to explain that any new nuclear deal with Iran that does not involve the complete dismantlement of its nuclear program will not pass the Senate. Republicans agree with Trump that Iran needs to completely dismantle their program.  Finally, Rishi Arun, president of Temple University's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), stated that it is their mission to destroy imperialism, the United States, and capitalism. Mohammed Khatib, from the designated terror organization Samidoun, said that liberating Palestine would be a step toward dismantling the United States.

This week's episode of CURE America with Star Parker brings a powerful and urgent focus on Israel's war against Hamas, following the brutal October 7th terrorist attacks. With Israel under fire and global anti-Semitism rising, Star and her guests tackle the need for bold U.S. leadership in standing unapologetically with Israel.   E.J. Kimball, from the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement, exposes how radical groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) are openly spreading pro-Hamas propaganda across more than 200 U.S. college campuses. This is not just about politics—this is a calculated, dangerous rise in anti-Semitism, masked as anti-Zionism, targeting both Israel and America's foundational Judeo-Christian values.   Greg Gross, a defense expert, makes it clear that the Biden administration's weak, indecisive response is hurting Israel. He contrasts this with President Trump's strong leadership in advancing the Abraham Accords and supporting Israel without compromise. Gross argues that any ceasefire would only serve Hamas' interests, putting Israel—and global stability—at even greater risk. Star Parker and her guests call for real action, urging viewers to pressure universities and government leaders to stop funding groups that promote anti-Semitic violence. This episode delivers a strong message: now is the time to defend Israel, protect our values, and demand accountability from weak leadership that is failing both America and its allies.

This week Lara and Michael sit down with the former President of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), Jwan Haddadd. We talk about the successful organizing effort to pass a resolution divesting from companies who support genocide, and the coalition of organizations, students, and faculty who made it happen. UCSB becomes the sixth University to institutionalize a boycott within the UC system. 

In this episode of “This is Palestine,” we speak with Palestinian American Columbia student Maryam Alwan about the rise in student-led protests across college campuses speaking out against Israel's genocide. She talks to us about the unified student demand calling on their universities to divest funds tied with Israel's genocide and war crimes. We discuss the alarming attacks that students are facing at the hands of professors and others who support Israel's genocide. Universities have even gone so far as to suspend leading student groups, like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), organizing against Israel's genocide in Gaza. Yet, students across the U.S. and the world have remained defiant and steadfast in their demands against their universities' complicity with Israel's genocide. Listen to learn more about this growing student movement in support of Palestinian freedom.

Students at UC Davis just won an historic victory by passing a bill that divests all student funds from apartheid Israel. I spoke with three of the women who were instrumental in making this happen, including the political director, the president, and the social media coordinator for the UC Davis chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). We discussed the magic moment when the bill passed, the work that went into this success, and how they are helping to empower students at other universities to achieve similar victories.Already, students at many other UCs have followed suit, passing a similar divestment bills and resolutions. (UC Riverside,  UC Los Angeles, UC Santa Cruz, and UC San Diego). We hope this is just the beginning of an avalanche of university divestment victories like those that were vital to the end of South African apartheidLINKS:SJP at UCD LinktreeFollow @sjpatucd2 and @sjpatucd on Instagram!Follow @sjpatucdavis on Twitter!Shamouti Sour(The name is a tribute to the Palestinian people and their connection to the fruits of their land, as Shamouti oranges originate from Yaffah -- an occupied city in Palestine)      60ml   Orange juice (fresh if possible)      22ml   Lemon juice       8ml     Simple syrup      22ml   Olive brine Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin and shake briefly with ice.

The initial massacre by Hamas on Israel on October 7th, 2023 resulted in yet another Israel-Palestine war. The war has resulted in over 23,000 deaths, and a multitude of humanitarian crises. It has sparked a strong, passionate, yet divisive international response. In America, hundreds of protests and demonstrations took place. On college campuses specifically, intense reactions resulted in tense consequences. How has the war affected the Chapman student body specifically? Or its Jewish and Arab communities? How has the university responded and what do students think of it? For the past few months, Video and Podcast Editor Lisa Wong talked with students, professors and Chapman administration to answer some of these questions.  Podcast timestamps:  00:00 → Intro and Oct. 7, 2023  12:10 → Sharing your perspective on war and it affecting your personal relationships 22:00 → Interview with Dean of Students Jerry Price: Controversy with pro-Israel and pro-Palestine posters and how Chapman administration responds to issues affecting the student body 30:13 → Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) teach-in, Wilkinson College's Ask the Experts panel  33:30 → How should a university and college campus respond to the Israel Palestine war?  46:46 → Updates on the war as of Feb. 11, 2024 and where to go from here, as students?  Humanitarian aid links:  International Committee of the Red Cross  Doctors Without Borders  American Friends of the Parent Circle -- Families Forum Created by Lisa Wong, Video & Podcast Editor

This episode is presented by Carolina Readiness Supply – Why do colleges that get billions of dollars from Qatar (where Hamas leaders are hiding) have more anti-Jewish incidents? Also, tracing the connections of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) to Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is so obvious only Congress can ignore it.

Dr. Hatem Bazian talks about the Israeli Foreign Ministry's four-point plan, coordinating with the ADL and AIPAC, to muzzle and dismantle pro-Palestinian activism on college campuses in the United States. Major targets are Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) chapters across the US.

Joe Biden was an hour and a half late to his press conference to update the nation about the terror attacks in Israel, where he confirmed that 14 Americans were murdered in addition to more than 1,000 Israelis, thousands more were injured, and he confirmed that U.S. citizens were also taken hostage. Then-Vice President Joe Biden's office exchanged tens of thousands of emails with members of his family and their respective firms during the Obama administration. Rep. George Santos was hit with new additional charges in a 23-count superseding indictment that included allegations that he stole donor's identities and used their credit cards to make unauthorized purchases. Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a national group with a presence on college campuses across the country, is organizing a “Day of Resistance” on October 12th to rally support for the deadly Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. Israeli parents are being warned to remove TikTok and Instagram apps from their children's mobile phones as Hamas intends to release videos of Israelis taken hostage begging for their lives.

This week Lara and Michael sit down with student and activist Soha Khatib, a senior at UIC and board member at Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at her University. We discuss the events that led up to her and her classmates teaming up with Palestine Legal to file a civil rights lawsuit against the University for their disparate treatment of Palestinian students. She explains how she and other members of SJP were barred from entering an informational Zoom setting pertaining to a study abroad program inside 48. While flyering she explains the university staff called the cops and one police officer grabbed a female student by her hijab. She also tells us about subsequent meetings she's had with study-abroad personnel and the climate for Palestinian activists on campus at UIC. The episode speaks to the overall connections between oppressive state forces like the police, zionist think tanks, and higher education institutions in the United States. 

We Hold These Truths joined with the Arizona State University chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) to observe the 74th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba (Arabic for “catastrophe”) that occurred in 1948 when over 750,000 Palestinians were forced from their homes and over 450 of their villages were destroyed by the Zionists in their drive to establish the modern state of Israel. The Nakba continues today under the Israeli occupation designed effectively to expel or kill as many Palestinians as “legally” possible. The latest example of this was the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian Christian, by an Israeli sniper. Tom Compton of WHTT reports on the Nakba 74 rally and how millions of evangelical Christians are oblivious to the plight of the "Living Stones" in  Israel.

Since the launch of the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and the collapse of the Oslo Peace Process in the early aughts, the college campus has been a locus of American political conflict over Israel/Palestine. As student Palestine solidarity activists have attempted to introduce BDS resolutions across the country, Israel advocacy organizations have responded by building a vast organizing infrastructure to intervene in student debates about Israel, painting campuses as threatening and hostile places for Jewish students and pushing for greater restrictions on pro-Palestine student speech. In only the latest example, members of the NYU law school's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter—half of them Jewish—are facing media defamation for a statement the group sent to the law school listserv. How does it transform campus activism and the experience of individual students when outside organizations and media commentators get involved? Is it misleading to frame these conflicts as simply a fight between two opposing camps? What do you do when your mom forwards you Bari Weiss's substack? Jewish Currents Editor-in-Chief Arielle Angel, Assistant Editor Mari Cohen, and Contributing Editor Joshua Leifer discuss these questions and the recent NYU events with Dylan Saba, Jewish Currents fellow and Palestine Legal staff attorney.  Books and Articles Mentioned: “https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/to-the-antisemites-who-sit-next-to?s=r (To the Antisemites Who Sit Next to Me in School)” by Tal Fortgang   “https://davidlat.substack.com/p/nyu-law-erupts-in-controversy-over?s=r (NYU Law Erupts In Controversy Over Alleged Anti-Semitism)” by David Lat  “https://jewishcurrents.org/whos-trying-to-kill-bds-on-campus (Who's Trying to Kill BDS on Campus?

A discussion examining the roots of the explosion and mass protests currently unfolding in Lebanon with speakers on the ground in Beirut. ----- Please join the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) International Committee and Haymarket Books for this forum examining the momentous events currently unfolding in Lebanon, featuring three speakers on the ground in Beirut. The massive explosion that rocked Beirut on August 4 revealed the depths of the Lebanese ruling elite's criminal mismanagement. The explosion and mass protests that followed come on the heels of a year-long economic crisis and popular revolt. Since October 17, 2019 the people of Lebanon have been in the streets again and again struggling to transform the country's sectarian-oligarchic political and economic system. Now in the wake of the COVID crisis, economic collapse, and devastation caused by elite incompetence which has driven 300,000 people from their homes, the people of Lebanon are rising up again. What can we learn from Lebanon's long uprising and how can we show solidarity? Speakers: Rima Majed is a writer, activist, and Assistant Professor of Sociology at the American University of Beirut (AUB). Her research focuses on social movements, sectarianism, conflict and violence in the Middle East.

Her work has appeared in a range of academic journals and media outlets, including Social Forces, Mobilization, Global Dialogue, Idafat: The Arab Journal of Sociology, Al Jumhuriya, CNN, Middle East Eye, openDemocracy, and Al Jazeera English. She is currently working on a book that looks at sectarian capitalism and the shift in sectarian boundaries in Lebanon. Lara Bitar is a journalist in Beirut and the founding editor of The Public Source, a Beirut-based independent media organization that covers socioeconomic and environmental crises afflicting Lebanon since the onset of neoliberal governance in the 1990s and provides political commentary on events unfolding since October 17, 2019.

Yehuda HaKohen is joined by "Lila" - a Diaspora Jewish student who moved from pro-Israel advocacy organizations to the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on her campus. The two discuss the shortcomings of hasbara movements, how these flaws drive so many bright young Jews out of the pro-Israel camp, and how these students can actually play a meaningful role in helping Jews and Palestinians to transcend competing narratives and move forward together.

In the first Proles of the Minyan interview episode, Shelby Shoup joins the Minyan to discuss Zionist cultural replication and the potential for leftist organizing among Reform Jewish youth. Shelby is the former Social Action Vice President (SAVP) of the North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY), the youth organization within the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), and she is the current president of the Florida State University (FSU) chapter of Students for Justice with Palestine (SJP). There are a lot of acronyms in this one. She gives us the inside scoop on throwing diary products at reactionaries, the "progressive except for Palestine" hypocrisy within the URJ, and the mechanisms by which NFTY, and their summer camp system in particular, serves to prop up Zionist hegemony over Jewish youth in the United States and Canada. She also shares her journey out from under that hegemony and towards anti-Zionism, anti-racism, and anti-imperialism organizing with SJP and Tallahassee Dream Defenders. The Minyan also debuts two new segments, shouts out Eli Valley and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP, as if there weren't enough acronyms), and declares undying love and support for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP... last one, promise).

David Horowitz Freedom Center Releases Report on “The Top Ten University Leaders Who Are Supporters of Terror” Campuses include Columbia, UCLA, Tufts, Kent State and George Mason University leaders from prestigious American campuses including UCLA, Columbia University, Kent State University, Tufts University, and the University of Chicago are among those cited by the David Horowitz Freedom Center as the “Top Ten University Leaders Who Are Supporters of Terror” in a new report.
