Jewish students, come here to the South — where you’ll be safe

Jewish students in the Ivy League, I’m here to offer an invitation: Come to the South, where you’ll be safe.

It’s manifestly not safe to be an Ivy League Jew. A prominent Columbia rabbi “strongly” advised Jewish students to go home and not come back: It’s become clear “Columbia University’s Public Safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish students’ safety in the face of extreme antisemitism and anarchy,” Rabbi Elie Buechler told students this week over WhatsApp.

And no wonder. An anti-Israel protester near the Columbia campus yelled at counterprotesters holding Israeli flags, “Go back to Poland!” and “Go back to Belarus!” The marcher waved the Palestinian flag in their faces and said, “Get the hell out of here!”
...
Acts and threats of violence are all over, and it’s not just the Ivy League: At Berkeley, a female freshman was choked during a pro-Palestinian protest, and pro-Palestinian protesters mobbed a dinner at the law dean’s house.
...
My advice to Jewish students at these institutions: Come on down. At schools like mine, the University of Tennessee, in red states, such intimidation, harassment and lawlessness aren’t tolerated.

Barbaric anti-Israel protesters are causing mayhem at the gates of Columbia University
In my city of Knoxville, after Hamas’ Oct. 7 rape/torture/murder/kidnapping spree, we had a pro-Israel rally attended by all our major civic leaders. The allegedly elite schools had marches in support of Hamas.

In the red states, support for Israel isn’t controversial. In our allegedly elite northeastern and California universities it can get you mobbed.

So why stay?

Sure, you’ll miss the good parts of New York or Cambridge (or . . . Philadelphia?). But red-state college towns are full of excellent bars, restaurants, music venues, theaters and other amenities of civilized living. (And at much more reasonable prices.)

People are friendly, and many of these schools have a lively Jewish presence and would welcome more. Maybe the degrees aren’t from Columbia, but the way things are going, is that so bad?]Jewish students in the Ivy League, I’m here to offer an invitation: Come to the South, where you’ll be safe.

International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan Fired Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations

The International Criminal Court (ICC) fired Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan on Friday after member states voted to remove him over sexual misconduct allegations, making him the first sitting chief prosecutor in the court's history to lose his position.

The Assembly of States Parties, the ICC's 125-member governing body, voted to remove Khan following disciplinary proceedings involving allegations by a junior female staff member. Khan denies the allegations and says he will challenge the decision, Fox News reported.

Reuters reported that 82 member states voted to remove Khan, surpassing the majority required under ICC rules. Khan stepped aside in May 2025 while the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services investigated the allegations, and the ICC suspended him in June 2026 pending Friday's vote.
...
"The decision is unsupported by any lawful or properly reasoned finding that Mr. Khan KC committed misconduct or breached his duties as Prosecutor," said Tayab Ali, partner at Bindmans LLP and head of Khan's legal team. "He has denied the allegations from the outset and continues to do so."

Ali argued that the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services found no misconduct and said a three-judge ICC panel unanimously concluded in March 2026 that the factual findings did not establish misconduct or a breach of duty. He also accused the Assembly of States Parties of conducting a politically motivated process that prevented Khan and his lawyers from making formal submissions before the vote.

"The Prosecutor of this Court has been removed by an executive vote while under sanctions and while the Court is under immense political pressure," Ali said.

Khan paid mouthpiece complained that this prosecutor for an antisemitic kangaroo court got canned by a kangaroo court process. Delicious irony.    

Given the threat against Dems, Progressives, etc, and the violence so far

What threats by the "Right"? Despite spin by leftist legacy media about "right-wing violence", it is FAR more prevalent by your leftist cohorts. Someone here could compile the hundreds of cases of intolerant left-wing violence, who despise free speech. Not worth my time to argue with idiots.

As I've said before, I don't want to shut them up (nor does President Trump)...I just prefer to laugh at their idiotic stupid free speech, which will be banned along with guns if the Democrat Socialists/Communists take over. Gawd forbid that ever occur.

Be sure to get a boat, if you don't have one already. 

Got a boat

I know that may cause my life to end sooner than maybe if I did decide to own firearms,

you can become the DU martyr!

One of the first things you will learn is basic self defense.

All that kung foo BS won't do much good when your opponent whips out his 1911 and puts 2 or 3 230 grain slugs in your chest!
