The founder of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism name-checked attorney general Pam Bondi on CNN Thursday for pledging to do everything the Trump administration can to stop anti-Jewish violence.

Bondi appeared on Fox News, where she lamented the deaths of two young people outside of a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. Wednesday night by a man who shouted "Free Palestine" when he was arrested.

"No parents should have to be called and told their children were violently murdered leaving a religious event at the Jewish Museum. That should never happen in this world and not in our country. And this person will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Bondi said. "We will ensure everyone, America will be safe. We will do everything we can. This violence has to stop." ...

Columbia University could be close to giving in to President Donald Trump's demand that it enact certain measures aimed to combat anti-semitism on campus or lose $400 million in federal funding, according to reporting in The Wall Street Journal.

But Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky didn't let that comment slide, instead choosing to point to Donald Trump's own actions....

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) appears to be in deep trouble after a comment he made on social media on Sunday.

Collins, who caused a blowup on the social media site X in February following a post in which he suggested immigrants should be given rides on "Pinochet Air," responded to a post from what one reporter deemed an anti-Semitic account.

The right-wing New York Post promoted an article suggesting that a Washington Post reporter said "shoplifting not a big deal because US built on 'stolen land.'" An account by the name of "Garbage Human" shared that article, adding, "In case you were wondering, yes she is."...

A former National Women's Soccer League player was caught on video giving what appeared to be a Nazi salute while driving past a pro-Israel rally in Beverly Hills, California, TMZ reported.

Stefany Ferrer Van Ginkel played for Angel City FC in 2022. In the video, she can be seen giving the salute while in the passenger seat of a car that was driven by another former pro soccer player, Samim Haydari. After she gives the salute, people off camera can be heard saying, "Shame on you."
