Logan Sekulow's impassioned stance against living in fear while defending Israel's right to exist underscores the importance of standing firm in the face of threats to fundamental principles of sovereignty and security. By advocating for Israel's legitimacy without succumbing to intimidation, Logan Sekulow promotes resilience and determination in upholding the values many Americans hold so deeply. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05092024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

The Biden Administration's decision to withhold weapons from Israel has sparked criticism from those who see it as a reckless move during heightened regional tensions. Critics argue that this action could weaken Israel's ability to defend itself against potential threats and undermine longstanding strategic support. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05092024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

President Trump had a massive day in court in two cases. I’d love to talk about something other than Trump being in court, but that’s where we are right now in this country, with the far Left doing anything it can to prosecute him. First, the Georgia Court of Appeals agreed to hear arguments for why Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from President Trump’s Georgia election interference case. If you remember, Judge McAfee declined to dismiss DA Willis after noting that an “odor of mendacity” – lying – permeated Willis’ testimony regarding her relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade. So Trump appealed, arguing that Willis’ misconduct had tainted the case. The appeals court agreed with the arguments we made in our amicus brief that this case and the level of impropriety involved deserved a second look. In agreeing to hear Trump’s appeal, the Georgia Court of Appeals is acknowledging that Trump’s appeal has some merit – it wouldn’t waste its time otherwise. Of course, this doesn’t mean the judges will dismiss Willis, but they will listen to the arguments from Trump’s legal team. Also, this delay increases the potential that this trial will not occur before the 2024 presidential election. Due to the latest development, the ACLJ is also preparing to file a second amicus brief – led by our own former Georgia prosecutor – to disqualify DA Willis and protect the integrity of our judicial system. We will be filing this brief next month. In President Trump’s classified documents case, Judge Aileen Cannon postponed the trial indefinitely after Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4) launched an investigation into Special Counsel Jack Smith’s admission of evidence tampering. The trial had been originally scheduled for May 20. And now no new trial date has been set for the near future after Judge Cannon said the court is dealing with the “myriad and interconnected pre-trial” concerns. The far Left is unhappy about this development because this case also will likely not happen before November. As we reported yesterday, Rep. Jordan is launching an investigation after Special Counsel Smith ironically mishandled the same classified documents that he accused Trump of mishandling. Such a revelation clearly raises several questions in the case against the former President. Yet even more shocking, allegations have arisen of Smith engaging in witness tampering by offering a lawyer a judgeship if he got a key witness to cooperate. So, yes, at the very least, the judge has several issues to resolve before the trial resumes. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/remove-da-fani-willis-from-prosecuting-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05082024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-faniwillis

Judge Aileen Cannon has postponed indefinitely the trial in former President Trump's classified documents case, after concerns arose about evidence tampering admitted to by Special Counsel Jack Smith. This delay comes amidst an investigation launched by Rep. Jim Jordan, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. The investigation seeks to scrutinize Smith's handling of the evidence, which has cast doubt on the government's previous claims about the integrity of the document retrieval process. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/remove-da-fani-willis-from-prosecuting-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05082024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-faniwillis

Donald Trump is going to get another shot at getting District Attorney Fani Willis disqualified from his election interference case. The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to review the former President’s appeal. In March, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Willis could stay on despite a bombshell revelation that she was involved in a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, the lead prosecutor of the case that Willis hired. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/remove-da-fani-willis-from-prosecuting-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05082024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-faniwillis

Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4) is launching an investigation after Special Counsel Jack Smith admitted to evidence tampering in President Donald Trump’s classified documents case. Rep. Jordan made the announcement to Sean Hannity on Fox News. Jordan also pointed out the irony of Smith’s mishandling of the very documents he is accusing President Trump of mishandling. Fox News reports on the revelation that the classified documents had been tampered with: "Prosecutors admitted in a court filing on Friday that “there are some boxes where the order of items within that box is not the same as in the associated scans.” The prosecutors had previously told the court that the documents were “in their original, intact form as seized.” “The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court,” a footnote in the filing reads. The filing comes after one of Trump’s co-defendants in the case asked for a delay as lawyers were having trouble figuring out the origin of some of the documents in the evidence boxes." Jim Jordan sent a letter yesterday to the DOJ, informing them of the forthcoming investigation. He requested that all information related to the mishandling of the classified documents be turned in to the House Judiciary Committee by May 20. Based on what the prosecutors admitted in their Friday court filing, it sure looks like evidence tampering took place with the classified documents that the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago last summer. And President Trump didn’t hold back in lambasting Smith: “ARREST DERANGED JACK SMITH. HE IS A CRIMINAL!” Smith’s mishandling is also especially egregious because Jordan’s letter quotes legal experts who believe Smith’s latest filing also “essentially is an admission of witness tampering.” Rep. Jordan recounts how Smith attempted to tamper with a witness by offering a lawyer a judgeship if the lawyer got a witness to cooperate. All this begs the question: Should Smith charge himself with mishandling classified documents? Also, don’t forget Special Counsel Robert Hur’s dismissing the charges of classified documents against President Biden because he didn’t believe the President was fit to stand trial. With all this chaos encircling the classified documents and since Smith has basically condemned himself, Attorney General Merrick Garland should do the right thing and order Smith to drop the charges. ACLJ Senior Counsel and Director of Policy Harry Hutchison commented on the possibility of Trump’s classified documents case being dismissed as a result of the evidence tampering: "I think that’s possible certainly with respect to some of the charges, if not all of the charges. And I think it’s also imperative to remember how differently the DOJ under Jack Smith is handling the case against Donald Trump and how differently the Special Counsel investigating Joe Biden handled [the] classified documents with respect to the Biden affair. Remember, Joe Biden kept basically classified documents in a garage with his Corvette. . . . And Joe Biden has admitted that he shared these classified documents with an individual who was not vetted or did not have permission to review those documents. Why? Because Joe Biden had an $8 million contract to write a book. So one of the things that I think the American people can clearly see . . . [is] a double standard." It’s time for Garland to put an end to this witch hunt. We don’t want to live in a banana republic where the scales of justice are not equal for everyone. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05072024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4) has initiated an investigation into Special Counsel Jack Smith after Smith admitted to evidence tampering in the classified documents case involving former President Donald Trump. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05072024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

A bombshell Politico report reveals who’s funding the widespread anti-Israel protests on college campuses: powerful Leftist donors, including major funders of President Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential election campaign. Unsurprisingly, George Soros is one of the donors of the pro-Palestinian protesters. This news also comes on the heels of Columbia University announcing it is canceling graduation ceremonies because of the violent protests. The way this works is you gotta follow the money, and it’s not always right on the surface or linear. But Politico uncovered that some heavy hitters include Soros, the Pritzkers, and the Gates, far-Left donors who gave to the Tides Foundation – a foundation whose website’s tagline is “Shifting Power. Advancing Social Justice.” After receiving the funds from these far-Left donors, the Tides Foundation dispersed the money to nonprofit organizations like IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace – radical anti-Israel groups. These groups were then able to carry out their antisemitic protests that overran college campuses for more than a week. At the end of the day, some of Biden’s biggest donors are celebrating Hamas’ horrific evil committed against Jews on October 7 and the recent antisemitic violence on college campuses across America. This makes you think twice about Biden’s press conference last week, where he spoke out against the protesters. Another shocking element of the college protests is the extensive training that the pro-Hamas protesters received. For example, before the Columbia University protests started (according to a Wall Street Journal report), several protest leaders met with Black Panthers and the National Students for Justice in Palestine to learn how to conduct college protests effectively. One pro-Hamas graduate student at Columbia detailed a “teach-in” session hosted by the Black Panthers: “We took notes from our elders, engaged in dialogue with them and analyzed how the university responded to previous protests.” The Wall Street Journal also reported on a virtual Resistance 101 training session (put on by students after Columbia University officials banned the on-site training), where the guest speaker from the Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network taught: “There is nothing wrong with being a member of Hamas, being a leader of Hamas, being a fighter in Hamas. . . . These are the people that are on the front lines defending Palestine.” Even though the school administrators tried to ban the pro-Hamas training, they still showed discernible weakness amid this controversy. They knew an organization that supported a known terrorist group was training students. Columbia should have controlled the situation and proactively prevented any further escalation. Also, keep in mind that prominent donors like Soros contribute to the universities as well, so they could try to hold the universities hostage by threatening to withdraw donations if they stop the protests. Who will the school officials listen to? The donors who want to stop the antisemitic violence or the donors who want a perpetual revolution in America? The ACLJ is taking a stand against the pro-Hamas college protests. The ACLJ’s legal team is sending a demand letter to the Department of Education and the overrun colleges, reminding them of their legal obligation to protect Jewish and Zionist students (including Christian students who support Israel) and stop violent protests. We also continue to defend Israel considering the Biden Administration’s waning support for our ally – shown by the recent news of the U.S. holding up its ammunition shipment to the Israeli military. The ACLJ just sent letters to key officials in the Legislative and Executive branches, advocating for stronger measures to hold Iran accountable for its direct attack on Israel. Join our efforts to defend Israel by signing our petition. Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of far-Left donors funding both the college protests and Biden’s reelection campaign. ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy Ric Grenell reacted to the U.S. holding up ammunition support for Israel. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05062024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-IsraelsEnemies

A new report reveals who’s paying for the pro-Palestinian protests at universities across the United States: Joe Biden’s wealthiest donors. Some names you may recognize that are famous throughout far-Left circles: George Soros, Susan and Nick Pritzker, and David Rockefeller, Jr. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05062024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-IsraelsEnemies

With the 2024 presidential election only six months away, a new Pew Research Center study shows growing support for former President Trump over President Biden among Christians, particularly among Hispanic Catholics. The Hispanic Catholics comprise a significant voting bloc (40% of the U.S. Catholic population) that is shifting away from Biden. In 2020, 67% of Hispanic Catholic voters preferred Biden. Now only 40% of Hispanic Catholics plan to vote for Biden – a massive decline in popularity among these voters. What’s caused this steep decline? Don’t forget that President Biden, a Catholic, was somewhat of a moderate – even a pro-life Democrat – for most of his political career. Yet over the last four years, Biden has taken radically pro-abortion stances to satisfy the far- Left base. Thus, the declining support in the Hispanic Catholics poll is very troubling for President Biden. What about other Christian voters in America? President Trump has 84% support among evangelicals who attend church regularly. Among Protestant voters who attend church occasionally, 60% say they back Trump, and 38% favor Biden. Of course, “Protestant” is a very wide net to cast in America. Check out the Pew Research data to see a detailed breakdown of different religious affiliations. We are also interested in the Christian vote because of our legal work fighting back against the Biden Administration’s intentional targeting of “radical traditionalist” Christians. We filed a FOIA lawsuit against the Biden Administration and uncovered 1,200 pages of documents related to the Deep State’s targeting of Christians. If you remember, the FBI planted spies inside churches to keep tabs on what was being taught from the pulpit. FBI Director Christopher Wray denied that widespread targeting occurred, but evidence showed otherwise. And don’t forget that the FBI was combing through bank records to track Bible purchases. Will Christians remember this unconstitutional targeting of people of faith when voting in November? Israel also remains under attack, and we are defending our ally on the world stage. We sent legal demand letters to key officials in the Legislative and Executive branches and 43 countries insisting that they support Israel and enact sanctions on Iran. Iran was in major economic trouble before Biden took over. We just submitted a new FOIA request investigating the billions of dollars that the Biden Administration has funneled to Iran. We also have a new religious liberty case. A hospital banned an employee from holding a Bible study during her break time – a clear violation of her religious liberty rights under federal law. We sent a legal demand letter informing the hospital of the employee’s constitutional rights being violated. We explained that Title VII clearly establishes that it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against employees based on their religion. The broad jurisdiction of Title VII ensures that most employers, public or private, are covered by Title VII. The ACLJ will take legal action if the hospital does not comply with the law. We will keep you updated on further developments. Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of the skyrocketing support for Trump among Hispanic Catholics and how this could affect the 2024 presidential election. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05032024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

An employee at a hospital in Kansas tried to hold a Bible study with coworkers during lunch in the building’s break room. The woman’s boss, who was out of the office at the time, called the woman to reprimand her and told her that Bible studies on hospital grounds are not allowed. The ACLJ just sent hospital officials a demand letter detailing their egregious misconduct. If they don’t fix this, we’ll take further legal action. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05032024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

As we near the six month mark until the 2024 presidential election, new poll numbers reveal that an important part of Joe Biden’s base are separating themselves from him and throwing their support behind Donald Trump. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05032024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

President Joe Biden just held a press conference to finally address the college protests that have overtaken campuses across America (e.g., Columbia University, UCLA, NYU, etc.). Did the Biden Administration wait too long (and only after the police started arresting protesters) to condemn the antisemitic and anti-American rhetoric? The Biden Administration had ignored this campus chaos for nine days – until finally being politically forced to respond. Biden rightly emphasized that “violent protest is not protected – peaceful protest is.” Unfortunately, he later wrongly identified the cause of the campus chaos: “There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans.” Are you kidding? Extreme far-Left radicals who are wreaking havoc. NYC Mayor Eric Adams claims that a high number of the protesters are not even students – they are outside agitators. The Biden Administration is worried about losing the radical faction of their base – that’s why the President felt compelled to lump Jewish students in with Muslim students. Yet these pro-Hamas rioters on college campuses hate Jews, hate Israel, and have chosen the violent events of October 7 as the jumping-off point to go to the streets. They are celebrating Hamas’ carnage against innocent women and children. Nothing even remotely similar is happening to Muslim students on college campuses in America. The ACLJ fights daily for the free speech of all Americans. It’s a fundamental constitutional right that must be preserved. However, when you are spewing death threats and committing violence against Jewish students and supporters of Israel, a clear line has been crossed. When hundreds are being arrested, you don’t have a peaceful protest that’s protected by the Constitution. Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of President Biden’s politically motivated press conference about the pro-Hamas protesters. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05012024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

What took so long for the NYPD to step in and break up the protests and encampments at Columbia University? ACLJ Senior Counsel for Global Affairs Mike Pompeo weighs in. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05012024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

After weeks of escalating pro-Palestinian protests at Ivy League universities across the United States, President Biden finally broke his silence and addressed the chaos. In a statement with zero emotion, Biden simply read the words placed in front of him. Trump took a very different approach. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05012024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson slammed President Joe Biden for being “MIA as usual” during the pro-Hamas protests on university campuses, and President Donald Trump called the campus chaos “a sad thing to see.” They both appeared on Fox News (Hannity) to respond to the NYPD arresting more than 100 rioters at Columbia University. It was great to see the boys in blue finally able to do their job once again. It’s not always been that way the last few years, as their hands have been tied. Mayor Adams did the right thing in sending the police to take care of business with the protestors. He was right that the “outside agitators” were radicalizing the campus protestors. Further, he was concerned that they were radicalizing youth across America who were witnessing this despicable behavior. Last night, the NYPD tore down a Palestinian flag that had been put up at Columbia University. They rightly raised the American flag where it belonged. The sight recalled that patriotic moment after 9/11 when President George W. Bush raised the American flag amidst the rubble at Ground Zero. Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of the NYPD police arresting the pro-Hamas rioters at Columbia University. ACLJ Senior Counsel for International and Government Affairs Jeff Ballabon reacted to the shocking news of an arrest warrant possibly being issued for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05012024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

Sekulow Senior Military and Political Analyst Tulsi Gabbard just launched a brand new book called “For Love of Country: Leave the Democrat Party Behind.” She came on the show today to talk about what led her to take a massive stand against the radical Left ideas and policies that are wreaking havoc on our constitution and the lives of the American people. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-05012024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

In an effort to address the darkness and spiritual warfare being waged against the United States right now, the ACLJ is rolling out a new initiative that you can be a part of. It’s called “For the Love of God: Save Our Country.” https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04302024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

Judge Merchan, presiding over President Donald Trump’s New York trial, ruled that the President had violated the gag order nine times and fined him for each violation – he also threatened Trump with “incarceratory punishment” (i.e., jail time) for future violations. Have the President’s First Amendment rights been violated? So a former U.S. President and the leading 2024 presidential election frontrunner for a major political party faces possible jail time or house arrest. We are not using hyperbole to describe the consequences for Trump. He could literally be put in jail. And why? For defending himself publicly against the charges levied against him. To combat this outrageous attack on President Trump’s free speech, his legal team needs to start appealing these fines to the next level of the New York state court – the Court of Appeals. They can argue that these gag orders are overbroad and violate the President’s First Amendment rights to free speech. Let’s be honest: President Trump is probably not going to stop talking anytime soon. With that in mind, his lawyers should start appealing these fines immediately. Trump will likely keep offering his personal commentary on the case to reporters and on Truth Social. The opposition will then claim this commentary to be a further violation of the gag order and seek to put him in jail. The far Left’s political prosecution of Trump is never-ending. We also see the far Left trying to shut down the free speech of pro-life advocates, and we are filing a cert petition at the U.S. Supreme Court today on their behalf. We have been involved in a decade-long battle defending pro-life counselors who have been shut down by abortion “buffer zones” outside a New Jersey abortion clinic. We recently had a victory in a similar case defending pro-life counselors from a “buffer zone” outside a Louisville abortion clinic. Now we will be filing at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the pro-life advocates in New Jersey. Today is the final day of our Life & Liberty Drive. We are launching a new project today: For the Love of God: Save Our Country. We are seeing demonic forces attacking our nation: rampant school shootings, the religious liberty of Christians under attack across America, pro-Hamas college riots that threaten Jews and supporters of Israel, and the list goes on. So the ACLJ is fighting back. We are going to release a documentary on Halloween – just days before the election – to rally Christians to fight back against the forces of evil that are destroying our nation. We want to raise $500,000 today for this project. Give today – your gift will be doubled and go toward this important new ACLJ project. Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of the judge’s outrageous threat of jail time for President Trump. ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy Ric Grenell commented on the ongoing pro-Palestinian riots on college campuses. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04302024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

Judge Juan Merchan has ruled that Donald Trump violated the gag order he issued on him nine times. The former President has been ordered to pay a $9,000 fine - $1,000 for each violation. In his ruling, the judge also said, “Defendant is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate continued willful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an incarceratory punishment.” https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04302024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

The pro-Palestinian protests on American college campuses are still raging, as hundreds of protestors just overpowered police barricades on George Washington University’s campus. When will the universities get this insanity under control? The GW Hatchet, George Washington University’s student newspaper, reports: ‘Hundreds of protesters broke through barricades blocking access to the pro-Palestinian encampment in University Yard on Sunday night. At 11:28 p.m. students toppled the barricade between U-Yard and H Street after one GW Police Department officer, supported by three others, held the arms of a protester inside the encampment behind his back and moved him toward the encampment’s northwest barricade. Immediately after, one of the three officers removed his baton from its holster. Protesters on H Street — where a second encampment has formed following officials’ construction of a fence around U-Yard Friday morning — surged to the barricade, forcing an impasse, chanting “Let him go” and “Shame on you.”’ Encampment appears to be the mainstream media’s favorite word right now to describe the pro-Hamas takeovers on college campuses. However, the antisemitic protests are not just college kids camping out. Jewish students and faculty and those who support Israel are unsafe amid violent destruction and attacks. Similar to actions taken by Harvard to limit the protests to involving only college students, GWU set up barricades to keep outside agitators, i.e., professional protestors/organizers, from joining the fray. However, outsiders toppled the barricades, leading to what appears to be a scene from a bizarro version of Les Misérables: protestors standing on top of the barricades waving a Palestinian flag and spewing hateful rhetoric from a bullhorn. Police then intervened, but the rioting was so fierce that many of the police appeared to fear for their safety. I’m just as tired of these pro-Hamas riots on college campuses as you are – enough is enough. The ACLJ’s legal team is sending a demand letter to the Department of Education and the overrun colleges, reminding them of their legal obligation to protect Jewish and Zionist students (including Christian students) and stop violent protests. The school administrators are apparently afraid of their students. The administrators’ feckless response shows they also fear that shutting down these protests will be seen as a right-wing move. They are unwilling to make the hard choices necessary to regain control of their campuses. It’s time to end these protests that are endangering the safety of the students and faculty – the ACLJ is doing its part by putting pressure on the school administrations. I hope the school leaders act soon and prioritize the students’ safety rather than capitulate to the protestors’ radical demands. Anti-Israel attacks also are occurring at international tribunals. We have the shocking news that the International Criminal Court (ICC) could issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ICC – made up of 124 countries and located in The Hague – doesn’t like how Israel is defending itself after the despicable atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7. If a warrant is issued on Netanyahu, his ability to go to certain places, such as Europe, to garner support for Israel would be severely limited. Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. and the U.N. Danny Danon joined Sekulow to discuss Israel’s determination to defend herself regardless of the international community’s condemnation: “We are still dealing with bringing back the hostages. We have war with Hezbollah in the north. So that’s another front. . . . We are determined to finish the job; we are determined to win this war against evil, against Hamas. So no one will stop us. Not the ICC, not the ICJ. We will do whatever it takes to win. We haven’t forgotten what [Hamas] did to us and what they are planning to do to us in the future. . . . We have seen what they are capable of doing, so we are determined to stand strong and proud.” The ACLJ was built for this moment. We will defend Israel when no one else will. We’ve argued directly before the ICC to defend Israel’s interests before – and won. We are mobilizing our legal team to prepare arguments to defend Israel yet again before the International Criminal Court. We will never stop defending our ally. Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of the protest chaos at GWU and how the ACLJ is taking action. Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell reacted to the outrageous news of the ICC issuing a warrant for Netanyahu. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04292024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

Reports suggest that the International Criminal Court (ICC) may issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Such a move would mark a significant escalation in the international legal scrutiny faced by Israeli leadership regarding their policies and actions. If issued, this arrest warrant could have profound diplomatic repercussions and further complicate Israel's relations with the international community. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04292024_seg-rumclips_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael2

Protesters recently breached police barricades at George Washington University, raising serious concerns about campus security. The incident has left university officials and local law enforcement reassessing safety measures on campus. This breach underscores the challenges that institutions face in maintaining order while respecting the right to peaceful assembly. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04292024_seg-rumclips_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael1

A shocking viral video surfaced of Khymani James, a radical student leading the pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University, declaring, “Zionists don’t deserve to live. . . . I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die.” This unhinged rant encapsulates the ideology motivating the radical college protests across the country at Columbia, Harvard, Yale, NYU, etc. When this individual says “Zionists,” it isn’t just Israelis – it’s all Jews and really anyone who supports Israel. This radical Leftist is literally declaring that Jews don’t deserve the right to exist. It’s outrageous. The anti-Israel radical also said, “I think that taking someone’s life in certain case scenarios is necessary and better for the overall world.” This person is rationalizing killing Jews because just as the world sought to kill Hitler and the Nazis, so should the world also eradicate all Jews. The rant originally took place in January, but with the Columbia protest going on, the student protestor has been highlighted by media outlets as a proud voice of the pro-Palestinian movement. Again, this is not some fringe radical nutjob making these comments – this is an active student at Columbia who’s leading the charge in these protests. Has this student protestor even been to the Middle East? This person clearly has no context of life in that part of the world. The only place in the Middle East that is remotely like the United States – diversely accepts people from all ethnicities and religious backgrounds – is Israel. The second that you step across the border outside of Israel, you don’t get any of those rights. These college campuses are supposedly the bastion of liberal thought that embraces opposing ideas. Clearly, the majority of college campuses care nothing about listening to different viewpoints. The ACLJ is all for the rights of Americans to protest peacefully. But when radicals start calling for the deaths of Jews and committing acts of violence, they cross a line. Such extreme rhetoric isn’t coming out of a vacuum. Far-left public education systems are teaching our children and young adults to hate America, and the results of such anti-American indoctrination are on full display right now. Pro-Hamas riots on college campuses must stop. No Jewish student on a college campus in the United States should be subjected to hate speech calling for their death. The college administrators need to maintain control and protect all the students. It’s up to the universities to stand up for diversity of thought and free speech. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04262024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael
