OSCARS SNUB ISRAEL: Jewish activists are blasting a Hollywood pro-Palestinian group over its push to get Oscars attendees to wear pro-Gaza pins to the industry’s premiere awards night this Sunday. The Brigade, a group of more than 700 filmmakers, PR people and studio executives, called out Artists4Ceasefire after learning of the other group’s plans. “That pin is no symbol of peace,” read a statement from The Brigade. “It is the emblem of Jewish bloodshed.”
BUNGLING BBC: The BBC was forced to apologize after unintentionally profiling a Hamas member’s son in a Gaza documentary. “Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone,” followed four young people with ages ranging from 10-24 living in Gaza during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. One was 13-year-old Abdullah, who also narrates the film. The film soon faced backlash after it was revealed that Abdullah was, in fact, the son of Hamas’s deputy minister of agriculture.
TEACHING ANTISEMITISM: The Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) is removing links to websites with controversial materials after being accused of spreading antisemitism. The union shared educational resources that contained offensive images criticizing Israel, including a dollar bill folded into a Star of David alongside criticism of foreign aid to Israel, a poster showing what appears to be an armed Palestinian with the words “What was taken by force can only be returned by force,” and a children’s book referring to Zionists as a “group of bullies.”
BOOTED FROM BARNARD: Two Barnard College students in New York City have been expelled for their alleged roles in disrupting the first session of the History of Modern Israel course last month. The two unidentified students banged on drums and chanted “free Palestine” during the course, which was held on Jan. 21, the Jewish Insider reported.
PRESIDENT’S PRIORITY: Leo Terrell, senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights who is heading up a new Justice Department Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, told Fox News Digital that the president has directed his task force “to use every tool in our toolbox as Department of Justice to stop this antisemitic behavior.”
