– A Columbia student claims that a recently arrested classmate ‘hates America’
– Marco Rubio disputes CBS host’s questions regarding Hamas sympathizers’ deportation

FEATURE STORY: Israeli actress Gal Gadot recently defended her public stance against Hamas’ attack in Israel and revealed her surprise at the intense backlash she received. In a candid interview, Gadot stated, “I was shocked by the amount of hate, by how much people think they know when they actually have no idea, and also by how the media is not fair many times. Therefore, I had to speak up.” Her words reflect the ongoing struggle many face in articulating their beliefs amid rising tensions of antisemitism.

VIDEO INSIGHT: The Lawfare Project’s executive director Brooke Goldstein appeared on America’s Newsroom where she discussed the recent deportation of a Brown University physician who attended a funeral for a Hezbollah member in Lebanon.

STATE OF THE UNION: In a recent clash on CBS’ Face the Nation, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confronted host Margaret Brennan over controversial policies regarding a former Columbia University student activist, Mahmoud Khalil. Brennan questioned whether Khalil’s views indicated a link to terrorism. Rubio pointedly inquired whether she was aware of the pro-Hamas activism prevalent at various college campuses following the October 7 attacks, prompting him to urge her to ‘watch the news.’

SAFER SURROUNDINGS: A former classmate of Mahmoud Khalil, now in the custody of ICE, expressed relief at his arrest, suggesting she feels “safer with him gone.” She described Khalil as having an insidious impact on campus culture, even admitting that his presence compelled her to drop a class out of fear for her own safety.

ACADEMIC CONTROVERSY: Hunter College in New York is re-evaluating its job listing for a Palestinian Studies professorship after New York Governor Kathy Hochul raised concerns about antisemitic implications in the job description. Following these remarks, the college promptly removed the posting.

In a report titled Editing for Hate, the ADL scrutinized numerous edits and communications from thirty suspect editors, revealing patterns dating back to 2002 that undermine the neutrality of the platform regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Secretary of State Marco Rubio made headlines with his blunt remarks to CBS host Margaret Brennan, stating, “You should watch the news. These guys take over entire buildings,” while discussing the influence of Hamas sympathizers at Columbia University.
