A federal judge has dismissed the Trump administration’s antisemitism lawsuit against Harvard University, finding that the incidents cited on campus did not establish an ongoing pattern of civil rights violations after the school received official warnings. Justice Department officials said they strongly disagree with the ruling and are reviewing their next steps, including a possible appeal.

Federal authorities are examining an anti-Israel nonprofit linked to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani following allegations that donor money may have been routed to a sanctioned Palestinian organization. The U.K.-based “PFF,” supported by Mamdani ally Bassema Yousef, reportedly controls a $100 million fund. Homeland Security is investigating possible connections to Al-Haq, though no criminal wrongdoing has been proven.

: Christian Zionists are flooding the West Bank to over Israeli settlements. Evangelical outfit The Israel Guys is busing thousands of global volunteers into contested territories to pick crops, open tourist hubs, and counter hostile media reports.

: Loay Alshareef, an Arab Muslim peace advocate and senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, writes that the Dead Sea Scrolls provide of the Jewish people’s ancient bond to Israel. Dated over 2,000 years ago, these manuscripts shatter claims that Jewish connection to the land is a modern invention, offering a factual foundation for peace and reconciliation.
“The new data shows that the allegations of famine in Gaza were pure hysteria. While certain small pockets of hunger occurred in Gaza, we now know this can only have been an issue of distribution. Once again, international organizations removed Hamas and their share of the blame for Gaza’s suffering from the conversation, stoking the anti-Israel narrative.” – Andrew Fox, a senior fellow at the Henry Jackson Society.
