Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized the ongoing demonstrations in support of Palestine on college campuses, asserting that such protests are counterproductive to achieving peace in the Middle East.
During an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Fetterman was questioned about his views on the display of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) flag at these rallies, with some suggesting it could be construed as antisemitic.

Former presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders spoke with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour this week and issued a warning: President Biden’s support of Israel could be his Vietnam.

“This may be Biden’s Vietnam,” Sanders said. “Lyndon Johnson … was a very good president domestically. He chose not to run because of opposition to his views in Vietnam. 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.”

In the midst of clashes between demonstrators advocating for and against Israel at UCLA in California on Tuesday evening, a distinctive flag carried by a pro-Israel counter-protester drew widespread attention.

A viral video circulating online captured the genuine surprise of a CBS News reporter upon encountering the flag, indicating that it was a sight unfamiliar to him.

Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump remarked that it had been “a beautiful thing to watch” New York police officers conducting a raid on a Columbia University building occupied by anti-Israel demonstrators. He characterized the protesters as “raging lunatics and Hamas sympathizers.”
Speaking at a campaign rally in Wisconsin, Trump commended the police for their actions in arresting approximately 300 protesters.
“New York was under siege last night,” Trump said. “Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from Gaza and various other places.”

In the months since the October 7 massacre and the Gaza War, one song that has provided hope and expressed faith for IDF soldiers and Jews worldwide has been an older song based on the “Vehi Sheamda” passage in the Pesach Haggadah.
Composed by Yonatan Razel and sung by Yaakov Shwekey, it debuted on the Jewish music scene in 2001. Shwekey had already released some hit songs—such as Mehairah, Racheim, and Shomati—yet some could argue that “Vehi Sheamda” cemented his status as a worldwide sensation.
