Question: When the head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights division tweets out a false statement about an individual that results in them being barraged with death threats based on their religion and ethnicity, which governmental agency would look into whether that student’s Civil Rights had been infringed?

This is precisely what “globalize the intifada” means.
At least 11 people were killed and 60 injured in Sydney for celebrating Chanukah, a Jewish holiday.

Not for being Zionists. Not for being “Israeli colonizers.” Not to support Palestinians. Not for land.

They were murdered simply for being Jewish.

You spent two years claiming Jews are genocidal, thieving colonizers with no homeland or history… And then can’t figure out why people are shooting Jews on the streets of America, Europe and Australia?

Absolute legend.
The hero of the Hannukah massacre has been identified as Ahmed Al-Ahmed, a 43-year-old fruit shop owner. He disarmed one of the gunmen. He is Muslim.
May he be an inspiration to the world.
