Herf: When ‘Free Palestine’ becomes a pretext for terrorism

The Free Press, Approved, National, State / / , , , , ,

On Sunday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, a group of Jews was set on fire. They had gathered in the afternoon for a march to draw attention to Israel’s hostages, who have been held by Hamas terrorists for more than 600 days, when a man reportedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the group, seriously injuring several.

The alleged perpetrator is named Mohamad Soliman, and you can see him in videos from the scene shouting “End Zionists” and “Palestine free and for us.”

This incident, which the FBI has called a “targeted terror attack,” comes less than two weeks after the assassination of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum. Their alleged killer, Elias Rodriguez, yelled exactly what the perpetrator in Boulder yelled—“Free Palestine”—the slogan that echoed on campuses and in the streets, especially since the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023.

These two events are of great historical significance.

Hanson: Donald Trump’s just trade war

National, Approved, The Free Press / / , ,

President Donald Trump has announced sweeping new tariffs on most goods imported into the U.S. from abroad. His flat 10 percent levy on all imported products and services came into effect on Saturday. Starting Wednesday, American tariffs will rise higher, in some cases quite dramatically so, on the European Union, China, India, Vietnam, and some of our Asian allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan—which have for decades unabashedly run large trade surpluses.

The new Robert De Niro show is elite propaganda

National, Approved, Commentary, The Free Press / / , ,

The year was 2012, and I was 16, watching Mitt Romney debate Barack Obama on TV with my stepdad, a log truck driver who’d raised me since the age of five—and whose verdict was this: “It don’t matter anyhow.” He said it, spitting his Copenhagen longcut into a Dr. Pepper can. “They already decided who’s gonna win anyway.”

Green: The biggest peacetime crime and coverup in British history

Approved, Commentary, The Free Press / / , , ,

LONDON — The grooming and serial rape of thousands of English girls by men of mostly Pakistani Muslim background over several decades is the biggest peacetime crime in the history of modern Europe. It went on for many years. It is still going on. And there has been no justice for the vast majority of the victims.

The Free Press: ‘60 Minutes,’ release the unedited Kamala Harris transcript

Approved, Commentary, National, The Free Press / / , , ,

Those of us who have worked in legacy media organizations have a pretty good idea why the so-called “mainstream press” has lost so much of its credibility. They ignore politically inconvenient stories. They rewrite history to suit the needs of the present. They punish wrongthinkers. And they promote ideology at the expense of reality.

It has been a month since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. And a glorious month it’s been for Democrats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit.

Lake: It’s 1968 all over again, the year that left two leaders dead and shattered our politics

Approved, Commentary, National, The Free Press / / ,

For months now, the parallels between 2024 and 1968 have seemed eerie. The Democratic convention is once again in Chicago this August, as it was 56 years ago. The Democratic incumbent, once again, is despised by his left-wing base and seems out of touch with voters. College campuses are once again aflame over a foreign war.
