The event last Thursday drew Muslim, Jewish, and Christian students to discuss religious commonalities, but Mady—after praising sharia law's punishments and societal reforms—abruptly condemned Bratman, director of CUNY Hillel, prompting nearly 100 Muslim participants to walk out, leaving about 20 attendees. Moderator Joshua Medina expressed shock and apologized, while Bratman called the incident '100 percent antisemitic.' New York Governor Kathy Hochul condemned it as antisemitism and demanded accountability from CUNY, which launched an investigation amid online backlash and concerns over campus safety and Israel-Gaza tensions.

Key Takeaway

At a City College of New York interfaith workshop meant to bridge religious divides, self-proclaimed imam Abdullah Mady suddenly spotted Jewish representative Ilya Bratman and branded him a Zionist responsible for Gaza deaths, urging Muslim students to leave in protest.

Full Summary

The October 2025 poll of nearly 3,000 people found 37 percent of 'Current GOP' members—Trump voters and Republicans—viewing the Holocaust as greatly exaggerated or not as historians describe, 36 percent doubting the Apollo 11 moon landing, and 41 percent suspecting U.S. government involvement in 9/11. These views concentrate among younger 'New Entrant Republicans,' often former Democrats or first-time GOP supporters since 2020, with higher rates among Black and Hispanic respondents compared to whites. Regular church attendance strongly predicts rejection of antisemitic attitudes, while 17 percent of Republicans hold such views, similar to Democrats; most say openly antisemitic people should not be welcome in party ranks.

Key Takeaway

A recent survey uncovers surprising beliefs held by a notable share of Trump 2024 voters and registered Republicans. Majorities reject the ideas, but minorities embrace them in striking numbers.

Menken, executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values and identifiable by his kippah, accused the woman of antisemitism after she yelled the phrase as he passed. She replied that it meant freedom from Israeli occupation and called Israel a racist ethno-state, leading to a tense back-and-forth about Hamas, hostages, and racism. Pro-Israel accounts praised Menken's response as standing up to harassment, while pro-Palestine voices claimed he was there lobbying for West Bank funding— a claim he denied, with records showing no such hearing or his attendance that day. The exchange captured ongoing raw tensions over the Israel-Palestine conflict, with even some Palestine supporters noting that shouting at Jewish individuals harms relations.

Key Takeaway

On December 12, Rabbi Yaakov Menken walked a Capitol hallway when a woman shouted 'Free Palestine' at him. He stopped, looked her in the eye, and challenged her directly on targeting him for being Jewish.

Forty-four Democratic representatives, led by Pramila Jayapal and Greg Casar, sent a December 3 letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding Global Magnitsky sanctions, visa bans, and asset freezes on senior Pakistani officials. They cite transnational repression against US critics like Noorani and musician Salman Ahmad, whose family faced abductions, plus demands for Imran Khan's release from Adiala Jail where he has been held since 2023. The letter questions US ties with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir amid rigged 2024 elections and abuses against opposition, journalists, and minorities. Pakistani-Americans voice strong support for ending military influence.

Key Takeaway

Journalist Ahmed Noorani's brothers were dragged from their home, beaten, and held for over a month after his report exposed military corruption. This personal ordeal highlights the threats reaching US soil from Pakistan's crackdown.

Unveiled in Ottawa on December 12, 2024, the $7.5 million Memorial to the Victims of Communism honors those who suffered under communist rule and celebrates Canada as a refuge. Historians in 2023 flagged over 330 of the proposed names for potential Nazi collaborations, unverifiable details, or lack of Canadian ties, including figures like Roman Shukhevych and Janis Niedra. The wall will now display thematic content, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, to focus on broader history without individual listings. The change highlights the tangled histories of Eastern European anti-communist fighters.

Key Takeaway

The memorial's planned Wall of Remembrance aimed to honor 553 individuals who fled communist regimes. But concerns over Nazi and fascist links among many names led officials to scrap the idea entirely.

The decade-old video from Operation Protective Edge has reemerged amid frustration with Jeffries' continued backing of U.S. aid to Israel, despite Gaza's heavy tolls reported by local authorities. Critics, including Nathan J. Robinson, call for a primary challenge, labeling him a supporter of what they term genocide, while Jeffries defends Israel's self-defense rights post-Hamas attacks and backs a two-state solution. The rift highlights divisions on the Democratic left, especially after Zohran Mamdani's past scrutiny and recent endorsement of Jeffries.

Key Takeaway

In a 2014 New York rally, Hakeem Jeffries declared 'Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever'—words echoing a segregationist's line, now pulling him back into a tense spotlight.

Full Summary

The House of Representatives issued a statement on Wednesday calling for an immediate stop to Southern Transitional Council troop deployments in Hadramout, Shabwa, and Mahra. Backed by the UAE, STC forces have clashed with local tribes to secure these areas, which the parliament views as a violation of national unity and the Riyadh Agreement for power-sharing. Southern separatists dismissed the parliament as tied to the Islah party and pushed back with sharp memes and accusations of ignoring Houthi threats. As Saudi mediation efforts continue, the dispute underscores Yemen's deep east-west divides.

Key Takeaway

Yemen's parliament drew a firm line against southern forces seizing control of key oil sites and territories in the east. Lawmakers warned these steps risk fracturing the nation further amid its long civil war.
