Lawrence Jones challenges female activists on rapes committed by Hamas

By Bailee Hill

“Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones visited a pro-Palestinian “fair” at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to talk with activists as antisemitism continues to engulf college campuses nationwide. 

“We’re here to really advocate for Palestinians, for Gaza,” one activist told Jones on Tuesday. “We’re advocating, honestly, for just… humanity.”

“There’s also a lot more casualties on the Palestinian side than there is on the Israeli side,” another activist chimed in. 

“And I’m not trying to like, compare the sides, but a lot of people are like, ‘oh my God, October 7th, October 7th,’ but like, no, this is since 1948.”

“People are saying, well, but what about the Jewish community that is under attack as well? The women that were raped, the kids that were put into ovens,” Jones said. 

One activist turned to the other activist and questioned the legitimacy of the claims that women and children were raped and tortured during the Oct. 7 massacre. She said she thought those claims were debunked.  (Continue Reading)

Catholic university becomes safe haven for Jewish students escaping antisemitism

As the carnage in the Middle East persists, an America’s New Majority Project poll recently found that more than 75 percent of Americans are closely following the news about the Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East.

While a majority of voters agree that Israel must do what is necessary to destroy Hamas, and that Hamas is responsible for Palestinian civilian casualties, the outlandish defense of Hamas’s atrocities across the United States– particularly on university campuses – raises great concern.

American universities ought to be centers where ideas, debates, and opinions are freely exchanged, but many, instead, have fostered hateful, antisemitic ideology among the student population. A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found that 48 percent of voters between 18-24 support Hamas in the current conflict. (Continue Reading)
