DUPED: A parody social media account named the "Chief Rabbi of Gaza" claimed another victim from the progressive "Squad," duping Rep.

Anti-Israel protesters at Harvard gate

'SMOKE AND MIRRORS': Critics are blasting task forces created by Harvard University in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war following a series of recommendations released in late June. Experts ripped the preliminary findings of Harvard's task forces, saying they created a "smoke and mirrors" and "DEI-obsessed" approach to combat continued rising antisemitism plaguing colleges across the nation.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "They are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza…There are things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject, so I don’t mean to wholesale endorse their points. But we have to navigate it. I understand the emotion behind it," - Vice President Kamala Harris said in defense of anti-Israel agitators on college campuses.
