sdy https://www.breitbart.com/midd...luxury-beach-resort/The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage Friday of a network of Hamas terror tunnels that it found under the Blue Beach Hotel, a luxury resort for Gaza’s elite.
In a statement, the IDF said:
The 162nd Division’s 14th Brigade, in cooperation with the Yahalom Special Engineering Unit, operated on a Hamas infrastructure with seven tunnels shafts and inside them terrorist quarters. The infrastructure is located at the Blue Beach Hotel in the northern Gaza Strip by the beach. Yahalom Unit forces identified the tunnels’ routes using a range of methods and destroyed the infrastructure this week.
Hamas terrorists exploited the hotel as a shelter from where they planned and executed attacks both above and below ground. Many weapons were found under the hotel, including AK-47 assault rifles, explosives, and drones. During the course of combat, dozens of Hamas terrorists entrenched in the hotel fired anti-tank missiles at IDF forces, who returned fire. During the forces’ operations in the hotel area, the soldiers encountered and eliminated terrorists
Over the past few months, reservists of the 14th Battalion operated in northern Gaza Strip in three locations: north of Jabalya, Beit Hanoun, and Gaza City. During the course of combat, the soldiers destroyed weapon stockpiles, missile launch sites, and underground command centers used by Hamas.

sdy https://www.breitbart.com/poli...on-for-claudine-gay/Al Sharpton, a radical organizer with a platform on MSNBC and wide influence within the Democratic Party, led a protest Thursday outside the New York City office of billionaire investor Bill Ackman to protest the resignation, days before, of Harvard president Claudine Gay.
Ackman, a Harvard donor, was a key figure in making the public case against Gay — first for her weak response to antisemitism on campus; second for the policies of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) that allegedly played a role in her hiring; and finally in the plagiarism scandal that appeared to tip the balance against her after the Harvard Corporation had backed her completely.
Gay’s selection process was the shortest in 70 years, according to the Harvard Crimson — and her six-month term in office was the shortest of any president in Harvard’s history. She was selected over 600 other candidates despite a thin academic record.
Her performance evoked criticism of DEI policies — as did the outbreak of antisemitism, which highlighted the way in which concerns about racial “justice” had been hijacked by radical activists to push extreme political agendas, in this case attacks on Israel and on Jews, who had been placed on the “wrong” side of the oppressor / oppressed divide in DEI’s peculiar ideology.
Gay claimed she was a victim of racism, and left-wing pundits and activists have pushed back against criticism of DEI policies following her resignation. There has also been a concerted effort to punish Ackman — and his family — for leading the charge.
On Thursday, Sharpton and his National Action Network — both of which have had major tax problems in the past — picketed Ackman’s New York City’s office.

gearhoundsI don’t often wish evil on anyone, but if that grifting pos dropped dead, I would openly celebrate his death. He, Jesse Jackson, and their ilk are the exact antithesis of what blacks need in their lives. What ANYONE needs in their lives.

FiveFiveSixFanNeri Oxman, wife of Bill Ackman, faces allegations of plagiarism following Business Insider reports
Ackman played a central role in the push to oust former Harvard president Claudine Gay, who faced similar plagiarism allegations before she resigned

Addressed by Ms. Oxman in detail:
https://twitter.com/NeriOxman/.../1742993073078947843TL;DR: They were insignificant and met the definition of "plagiarism" only in the absolute strictest sense. And, even then, in only one of the five instances, where she failed to attribute something she paraphrased. In the other four cases she attributed the material, but neglected quotation marks.
She's publicly owned-up to all of it and apologized.
The Boston Globe, as it typical of modern "journalists," has simply regurgitated Business Insider's wild-eyed accusations, with absolutely
zero effort on their part to assess their veracity.
BI stepped on their own genitalia with this one. Ackman researched it, found out whence the accusations really originated (MIT, it would seem), and
dug up some more dirtOops.
If this keeps up we're going to have to start a "Bill Ackman Saves The World" thread
ETA: Ah, I see, reading the cited article, BI responded to the response to their first smear attempt with more plagiarism charges. As in their first article:
quote:
About an hour before that story was published Friday, Ackman posted on X that Oxman was “just contacted” by Business Insider regarding additional instances of plagiarism in her work.
“Business Insider told us that they are publishing their story this evening,” he wrote. “As a result, we don’t have time to research their claims prior to publication.”
One might be inclined to wonder at whose behest they're engaging in this campaign?

I saw that and if her account is accurate, the circumstances seem far less egregious and certainly far less voluminous than with Gay. Additionally, she is not the president of MIT.
I find the disparities between reactions of the MSM to issues involving conservatives vs those involving liberals infuriating. In the former, there is a rush to dig up any dirt possible. In the latter, the goal is to deny, deflect and reinterpret the very meanings of terms which have long histories and are widely understood. These terms are then often broadened/restricted to fit the circumstances and to provide shade as in the case against Gay.
I hope Oxman makes good on his threat to investigate MIT brass along with BI along with various reporters for Boston newspapers.

parabellumMakes sense, doesn't it? To shout "Free Palestine" at girls on a high school basketball team in the United States?
Brainwashed little shits.
NY girls HS basketball game canceled after antisemitic slurs hurled at playersHarassing and assaulting teenage girls. None of this helps anyone, anywhere and none of this helps the situation, for either side.
An article from The Yonkers Times.
https://yonkerstimes.com/coach...etball-game-yonkers/ quote:
We condemn this behavior and believe the entire Roosevelt Girls Basketball team should be suspended for the rest of the season.
I'll go farther and say that if any of those girls were physically assaulted, their attackers should be identified, arrested and charged.

I'd argue these pro-Palestinian twits, doing things like that, blocking traffic, violently protesting, etc. don't realize it, but they're actually
hurting the Palestinian cause with their behavior.

Many are wondering how this incident was allowed to escalate without the Coach or the referees intervening.
Indeed.

BOATTRASH1Glad that the coach and one player were dismissed. Need to be more. and the refs need to be investigated also.
Apparently my 2 grandkids are Pro Palestinian and anti Isreal.

pedropcolaThat’s because they have never been dragged from their homes, raped violently and murdered by “freedom fighters”. Our youth are too dumb to take over from us. I feel like the Queen, she had to hold on as long as possible to keep Charles out of the chair. Lol

Just after 10 a.m., 40 demonstrators were on the Brooklyn Bridge, 12 on the Manhattan Bridge, 75 on the Williamsburg Bridge and 70 within the Holland Tunnel, the NYPD said.

I would love to see who is funding these assholes. You have to know not a single one of them is getting out there doing this crap for free on their own. I'll bet you every last one of them is being paid and paid well for all of this.
