WATCH: Demonstrators Block Elites from Met Gala.

Mass arrests took place as demonstrators staged a sizable protest blocks away from the high-profile Met Gala on Monday, on New York’s Upper East Side. Roughly the same number of police officers assigned to protect the gala were also dispatched to manage and control the protest.

The demonstration, which featured chants of “Rafah!” and “Gaza!”, raised tensions. However, police officers and metal barriers ensured disturbance at the high-profile event was minimized. “The NYPD won’t let them anywhere near the celebrities,” a protestor at nearby Hunter College told the press. Historically, there’s often a protest outside the Met Gala. But they get destroyed.”

While part of the crowd admitted intentions of interrupting the gala, others seemingly found themselves there unintentionally.

Last year, the gala raked in $22 million from brands and sponsors buying ticketing rights. This year’s lead corporate sponsor was TikTok, which faces a U.S. ban — after the November election — if Chinese parent company ByteDance does not divest from it. Joe Biden-supporting political action committees have spent substantial sums of money to win over influencers on TikTok and similar apps, despite Biden having signed the legislation that could ban it.

The theme for the Met Gala this year was J.G. Ballard’s The Garden of Time. Raheem Kassam, editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, observed that it was, perhaps unintentionally, “the perfect choice” for 2024, given the gala’s proximity to Columbia University and New York’s struggles with migrants.

“The Met Gala, taking place close to the heaving and swearing hordes in New York, offers poetic irony… a living play about the destructiveness of mass migration and cultural relativism, slap bang in the middle of Manhattan.”

SURPRISE! It’s Biden’s Biggest Donors Backing the Pro-Hamas Protests.

George Soros, David Rockefeller Jr., Hyatt Hotel heirs Susan and Nick Pritzker, and other major donors to the Joe Biden campaign are among the biggest funders of the Gaza protest movement accusing the 81-year-old Democrat of genocide.

The U.S. college campus crisis has helped to drive a wedge between Biden and the youth demographic, formerly one of his strongest bases of electoral support. An analysis by POLITICO suggests the pro-Palestinian protest movement, which has occupied buildings, set up encampments, and significantly disrupted colleges across the country, has paradoxically been bankrolled by Biden’s major donors.

David Rockefeller Jr. gave $300,000 to the Soros-seeded Tides Foundation, which has in turn given $500,000 to the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace.

“Why [is the Rockefeller Fund] giving significant grants to Jewish Voice for Peace, [which] blamed the horrific Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and the United States rather than Hamas?” questioned Elisha Wiesel, another Democrat donor.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation previously supported the Tides Foundation, but it has ceased allocating them active grants.

BIDEN’S VIETNAM.

Donald Trump has argued that Biden, whose official position is that there are fine people on both sides of the anti-Israel protests and counter-protests, is struggling to find a coherent position because he “hates Israel” but also “hates the Palestinians.”

The message appears to be cutting through with both younger voters and Muslim voters — crucial in the swing state of Michigan — with many people who would typically trend Democrat saying they will not vote for “Genocide Joe.”

“What do they say? ‘What are they going to do, vote for the guy that banned Arabs?’ And the answer is yes,” explained Palestinian-American comic Amer Zahr in April. “You’re really asking me whether I’m going to take a [travel] ban or a genocide? I’ll take a ban.”

Senator Bernie Sanders, whose supporters previously lobbied Michigan Democrats not to vote for Biden in the state’s primary, has said Gaza could prove to be Biden’s “Vietnam.”

BREAKING: Hamas Accepts Ceasefire Terms.

Hamas leadership has accepted the conditions of a ceasefire agreement for Gaza. The mediators from Qatar and Egypt received notice of the decision on Monday, with details yet to be revealed. This about-face from the terror group followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declaration that a military operation in Rafah was to continue as planned.

Palestinians took to the streets to celebrate as the news broke, expressing optimism that a ceasefire would proceed.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh communicated the group’s approval of the ceasefire proposal to the Qatari Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, and the Egyptian Minister of Intelligence, Abbas Kamel, through a phone call.

This story is developing and may be updated.

Bernie Sanders: Gaza Becoming Biden’s ‘Vietnam.’

Senator Bernie Sanders has offered support to students protesting across United States college campuses in opposition to Israel’s offensive against Hamas and is warning that Joe Biden’s support for the Israelis could cost him the election in November.

“I worry very much that President Biden is putting himself in a position where he has alienated not just young people, but a lot of the Democratic base in terms of his views on Israel and this war,” Sanders said. Younger voters and Muslim voters, particularly important in the swing state of Michigan, are both trending away from Biden in recent polling.

“In terms of his [reelection] campaign, I am thinking back…  this may be Biden’s Vietnam,” Sanders suggested, noting how opposition to Lyndon B. Johnson’s foreign policy killed his presidency.

Our Revolution, a progressive political action organization kickstarted by Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign, previously led efforts to have Democrats decline to commit to Biden as their 2024 candidate. Intended to send a message to Biden that many leftists are unhappy with his position on Gaza, the initiative could not stop Biden from being declared the Democratic nominee, but it reeled in over 13 percent of the vote in Michigan.

The campaign to vote for “uncommitted” instead of Biden in Michigan reportedly caused his campaign to “freak out,” as a relatively small number of leftists staying home in November could cost him Michigan and other key states.

Biden has attempted to chart a middle path through the campus crisis, suggesting there are fine people on both sides. However, he may simply be alienating both sides, with protestors and counter-protestors having united in chants of “F*** Joe Biden” at a recent demonstration in Alabama.

WATCH: Gaza Protestors and Counter-Protestors Unite in Chants of ‘F*** Joe Biden!’

Joe Biden’s foreign policy has brought anti-Israel protestors and counter-protestors together in mutual disdain for his government, with both sides of a demonstration at the University of Alabama exchanging chants of “F*** Joe Biden” on Wednesday.

Protestors carrying Palestinian flags and a banner calling for a ceasefire in Gaza stood opposite counter-protestors carrying American flags and Trump banners for around three hours at the university’s student center. The protestors were pushing a range of demands, including the university’s divestment from Lockheed Martin for having “supplied Israel with fighter jets, Hellfire missiles, and other weapons that are currently being used to slaughter Palestinians.”

Common ground was found when the counter-protestors began chanting “F*** Joe Biden,” with the protestors echoing the chant back to them. Many Muslims and student protestors have signaled they now see Trump as less objectionable than “Genocide Joe,” with Palestinian-American comedian Amer Zahr explaining: “You’re really asking me whether I’m going to take a [travel] ban or a genocide? I’ll take a ban.”

DRIVING THE WEDGE.

Donald Trump has helped to drive the wedge between Biden and both sides of the campus crisis, saying: “The fact is that Crooked Joe Biden HATES Israel and Hates the Jewish people. The problem is that he HATES the Palestinians even more, and he just doesn’t know what to do!?!?”

GOP leaders seeking to insert themselves into the campus crisis, such as Speaker Mike Johnson, have drawn criticism from conservative analysts, including National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam. Johnson’s critics argue he and his fellow-travelers are only succeeding in drawing fire away from Biden.

Thirteen quarters into his his first term, Biden has the worst approval ratings of any post-war president, far below Trump, Richard Nixon, or Jimmy Carter at this point in their presidencies. He is suffering particularly dangerous downward trends among demographics key to his official victory in the 2020 election, such as black and younger voters.

House GOP Bumbles Into Biden’s Campus Crisis… Passes Hate Speech Law That Could Ban Bible Verses?

The Republican-led House of Representatives has intervened in Joe Biden’s campus crisis by passing hate speech legislation defining anti-Semitism in incredibly broad terms and using that broad definition “for the enforcement of Federal antidiscrimination laws concerning education programs or activities, and for other purposes.”

H. R. 6090, to be cited as the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 if it becomes law, uses the “working definition of antisemitism” adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) in 2016. This is extremely broad in scope, and includes “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor,” “Applying double standards” to Israel, and “Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.”

The bill, which passed by 320 votes to 91, with 70 Democrats and 21 Republicans voting against it, has raised concerns among America First conservatives, who fear it violates the First Amendment and will draw fire away from Joe Biden. Until now, Biden has borne the brunt of campus protestors’ ire, damaging his standing among Muslim and younger voters key to his prospects in swing states like Michigan.

“It is patently insane for House Republicans to insert themselves into the mayhem engulfing college campuses. Do not interrupt your enemies when they’re making a mistake!” said Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, echoing arguments first advanced by National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam.

“Instead of passing anti-free speech laws that trample on the First Amendment or inserting themselves behind a podium at Columbia, just allow the left to continue embarrassing itself,” he argued.

SCRIPTURE OUTLAWED?

H. R. 6090 also defines “Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis” as anti-Semitic.

This has raised concerns among Kirk and other Christian conservatives as to whether H. R. 6090 could “make parts of the Bible illegal.” The Bible records that the Romans put Jesus Christ to death, but at the request of Jewish chief priests and elders, who delivered Jesus to the Roman authorities.

Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, sought repeatedly to release Jesus, but the priests insisted “by our law he ought to die,” and Jesus told the Roman that “he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.”

Muslim Cop Charged After Posting Support for Terror Faction.

Police officer Mohammed Adil has been suspended from his duties following allegations he promoted Hamas on messaging platform WhatsApp. Westminster Magistrates’ Court is set to hear terrorism charges against the 26-year-old policeman from Calderdale in West Yorkshire, England.

The investigation into Police Constable Adil was carried out by counter-terrorism officers directed by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which regulates English police forces. PC Adil has been charged with two counts of publishing an image in support of a proscribed organization in contravention of the Terrorism Act.

“A West Yorkshire Police officer, PC Mohammed Adil, serving in Calderdale District, has been suspended since his arrest. This is part of a Counter Terrorism Policing North East investigation, under the direction of the Independent Office for Police Conduct,” the West Yorkshire Police force has confirmed in a statement.

Among British Muslims generally, polling has found 46 percent sympathize with Hamas in its current conflict with Israel. Just three percent sympathize more with Israel, while 36 percent said they do not sympathize “more” with either side.

West Yorkshire Police has faced several controversies in recent years. One involved a short-haired policewoman who entered the home of an autistic minor late at night and had her arrested for saying she resembled her “lesbian nana.” The force initially defended the incident, which was captured on video, but later dropped proceedings against the minor and had the “lesbian” officer apologize to the girl.

British police forces have often appeared reluctant to act against Islamism more broadly. In 2023, London’s Metropolitan Police force defended anti-Israel protestors calling openly for “jihad,” claiming the word has “a number of meanings.”

However, the protestors were calling for jihad in explicit reference to waging a holy war against Israel.

Biden Plans to Flood America With ‘Palestinian Refugees.’

The Biden regime is reportedly considering bringing Palestinians from Gaza to the United States as refugees.

The details: According to internal federal government documents obtained by CBS, the refugee status would extend to Gazans with immediate family who are American citizens or permanent residents.

  • Those who qualify would be given housing assistance and a pathway to citizenship.

Zoom out: As of 2020, 97,744 Palestinians were living in the U.S. It’s unclear how many of them have immediate family in Gaza.

Back up: Historically, the U.S. has not accepted many refugees from Gaza because it complicates our close partnership with Israel. Over the last decade, the U.S. has resettled less than 600 refugees from Palestine.

Ideological concerns: According to a recent poll, 71 percent of Palestinians supported Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel that saw brutal murders and rape of innocent civilians. This poses the obvious challenge of vetting who is allowed in.Playing politics: For Biden, this move is all about stopping the bleeding. He’s trying to win back Arab American and young Democrat voters who are dissatisfied with his support for Israel.

Official Democrat Group Declares Support For Pro-Hamas Demos.

The official college affiliate of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has declared its solidarity with the pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses across the country. Bucking the Biden government’s attempt to appease both sides of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the College Democrats of America (CDA) stated: “This past week, we witnessed heroic actions on the part of students around the country to protest and sit in for an end to the war in Palestine and the release of the hostages.”

“Since the beginning of this conflict, College Democrats and students from every walk of life have had the moral clarity to see this war for what it is: destructive, genocidal, and unjust,” the CDA statement continued. The College Democrats went on to denounce government officials, lawmakers, and “MAGA Republicans” who they say have labeled the pro-Hamas protests as “hateful.”

The College Democrats also criticized Joe Biden and his 2024 presidential campaign. While emphasizing that they remain committed to putting Biden back in the White House, the CDA statement noted they “reserve the right to criticize our own party when it fails to represent youth voices.” The National Pulse has previously reported that Biden and his re-election effort have seen plummeting support among young voters.

“The White House has taken the mistaken route of a bear hug strategy for Netanyahu and a cold shoulder strategy for its own base and all Americans who want to see an end to this war,” the College Democrats said. They added: “Each day that Democrats fail to stand united for a permanent ceasefire, two-state solution, and recognition of a Palestinian state, more and more youth find themselves disillusioned with the party.”

Colleges and universities across the country have seen a wave of violent pro-Hamas protests in recent days. At Columbia University, the New York Police Department (NYPD) had to storm a university building seized by students — where several janitors had been taken hostage the night before.

Trump: Netanyahu Has Been ‘Rightfully Criticized.’

Former President Donald Trump says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ‘Bibi‘ Netanyahu has been “rightfully criticized” for his country’s intelligence failures in the lead-up to the Hamas terrorist groups’ barbaric attack against Israel on October 7, 2023. In a lengthy interview with Time magazine, Trump spoke in depth on the nuances of America’s relationship with Israel but didn’t demur on what he thinks are failures on Netanyahu’s part.

“Bibi Netanyahu rightfully has been criticized for what took place on October 7,” the former President said. Earlier, Trump expressed dismay that the Israeli Prime Minister appears to have ignored mounting evidence that Hamas had been planning a large-scale attack. He said: “I would say that what happened on—October 7 should have never happened… They have the most sophisticated equipment. They had—everything was there to stop that.”

FATE OF THE HOSTAGES.

Addressing the grim reality of the fate of the hostages taken by the Hamas terrorists on October 7, Trump explained that the terror group’s disregard for human life has likely resulted in the death of many of those taken. “And I happen to think that on the hostages, knowing something about the enemy, and knowing something about people, I think you have very few hostages left,” Trump said.

ON BENNY GANTZ.

While the former President offered sharp criticism of Netanyahu‘s inaction and the barbaric actions of Hamas, Trump did signal an openness to working with other Israeli leaders. When asked if he’d rather work with a Benny Gantz-led Israeli government, Trump said: ” I think Benny Gantz is good, but I’m not prepared to say that.”

Gantz is a retired Israeli Defense Forces general who served as the country’s defense minister from 2021 to 2022, as well as eventually deputy prime minister. Despite his tenure in the Bennett-Lapid government, Gantz currently serves as a minister without portfolio in the Netanyahu government as part of the War Cabinet formed after the October 7 Hamas terror attacks.

Considered the most prominent opponent of Netanyahu, Gantz has said he will move to topple the unity government unless the Prime Minister secures the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
