XLV NO. 2295 Former Envoys: Iran Hamas Elects Military Wing to Top Agenda at Hardliner Yahya Trump-Netanyahu Sinwar as Group’s Meeting New Gaza Chief BY JNS.ORG Hamas has elected a new political leader in the Gaza Strip to replace Ismail Haniyeh, Palestinian media reported Monday. Haniyeh, meanwhile, is slated to replace Khaled Mashaal as the terrorist organization’s political bureau chief. Qatar-based leader Mashaal announced last year that he would be stepping down from his current role. According to reports, Haniyeh’s successor in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was elected in a secret ballot vote. Sinwar, 52, is a known Hamas hard-liner and a senior member of the terror group’s “military wing,” the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

  • Students Supporting Israel at Columbia University
    Students Supporting Israel at Columbia University Incident Report on Harassment and Violations of University Policies and State and Federal Rules by the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) As one of the nation’s most prestigious institutions of higher education, Columbia University has an obligation both to its students, and faculty constituency as well as the broader American academic community to foster and protect nuanced and constructive dialogue on complicated issues affecting New York, America and the world. Unfortunately, groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voices for Peace (JVP) and Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) have monopolized the conversation on campus relating to the Israeli-Arab conflict and have systematically maligned, harassed and silenced groups like Students Supporting Israel (SSI) and other pro-Israel voices on campus, who provide alternative -- and critically important -- views on these issues, in clear violation of their rights under both Columbia rules and regulations, and U.S. law. Columbia’s Student Governing Board (SGB) makes clear its goal: “Since its founding, SGB has traditionally served as the guardian of free speech and students' rights on campus, and remains the only governing board comprising students from all four undergraduate schools.” Among SGB’s responsibilities is its mandate to “[a]djudicate disputes between groups, review complaints received in writing, and take disciplinary action when required.”1 In interrupting, silencing, harassing and intimidating Jewish and pro-Israel students at Columbia, the behavior of SJP, JVP and CUAD contributes to an unacceptably hostile environment for those who wish to exercise their constitutionally protected rights in ways that differ from the narratives of these groups.
