NYU settles federal antisemitism lawsuit filed by 3 Jewish students
[10News] Make em pay
New York University has settled a lawsuit filed last November by three Jewish students who said they had been subjected to "pervasive acts of hatred, discrimination, harassment, and intimidation" since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.

NYU and the plaintiffs' attorneys announced the settlement Tuesday. It includes undisclosed monetary terms and a commitment from NYU to update its antisemitism language in its Guidance and Expectations for Student Conduct.

NYU officials also said they would dedicate additional academic resources to Judaic studies and the study of antisemitism and strengthen the university's existing relationship with Tel Aviv University.

"We are committed to continuing our vigorous efforts to confront discrimination, including antisemitism, and the settlement in this litigation is yet another step in this direction," NYU President Linda G. Mills said.

In the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, the students said antisemitism had been a problem at NYU for years and had worsened after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel sparked an intensive Israeli military campaign in Gaza.

The plaintiffs said their complaints about antisemitic threats and intimidation had been "ignored, slow-walked, or met with gaslighting by NYU administrators."

Marc Kasowitz, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said in a statement that NYU "is to be commended for taking a leading position among American universities in combating antisemitism on campus." He added, "Other universities should promptly follow their lead."

#1  NYU is a private university but by way of student loan forgiveness and subsidies "'em" will ultimately be the taxpayers.

#2  They need to go after the funding sources of the harassment, namely Arabella, Tides, etc.

I'm perplexed why this hasn't happened yet.

The abolition of the fatwa department has demonstrated a split in the Dagestan muftiate
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

A bit of Moslem inside baseball

[KavkazUzel] Plurality of opinions is typical for Islam, but the abolition of the fatwa department in the Dagestan muftiate was evidence of the mufti's intolerance of dissent and division over the niqab issue, religious scholars and journalists believe. They suggested that the muftiate would create a body with similar functions from employees loyal to the mufti.

Dr. Evgeniya Makeeva from Dagestan: Niqab hides the fact that the husband beats his wife
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Marina Akhmedova

People are returning [from Syria] with radical views - "a woman must wear a niqab." It turns out that they are integrating us into their society, and not we are integrating them.
[REGNUM] At the end of June, a patient came to the private clinic "Altermed" in Khasavyurt complaining of acute abdominal pain. The reception desk contacted the head doctor Evgenia Makeeva, she had a full schedule, but upon hearing that the patient's acute pain had been going on for three days, the doctor dropped everything and came down. The patient was wearing a niqab. Makeeva asked her to take off the niqab to examine the woman, but was refused.

Mohammedan men can be creepy
And women do tend to be weepy,
So wisdom decrees
That one's pimp stick ["Bint, please!"]
Be no bigger around than one's pipi (PBUI).

140 people remain in prison after riots in Makhachkala
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] As of today, 140 participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport in October 2023 are in custody. This was reported on July 9 by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan Abdurashid Magomedov during a meeting with the head of the republic Sergei Melikov.

“After the events at the airport, 140 people, young people, are sitting in prison, <…> they are all sitting legally,” he said.

Magomedov added that another 1,200 people who took part in the riots were brought to administrative responsibility.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, on the evening of October 29, 2023, about 1,200 people rioted at Makhachkala's Uytash Airport. They broke into the airport building and then onto the airfield, where they surrounded a bus with passengers from a plane arriving from Tel Aviv. The riots occurred after the situation in the Gaza Strip worsened, security forces stopped the hooligan actions, and the passengers on the flight were not harmed.

The Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case under Part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Mass riots"). Law enforcement officers detained 60 participants in the riots at the scene, and then another 20 people involved in them.

On October 30, 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the events at Makhachkala airport were organized by agents of Western intelligence services. The Russian leader specified that the riots were prepared through social networks, including from Ukraine.

Melikov says that terrorists in Dagestan were from respected families
”Just boys being boys, yer Immensityness. No harm in them at all — why they love their mothers and sisters just like they ought, not touching a single one of them until they are nine years old. It’d do your heart good to see it, it surely would. If you could see your way clear to let them off with a warning we'd all be much obliged, and then no one would again feel the need to run amok in the name of ISIS…”
[Regnum] The bandits who carried out the terrorist attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent on June 23 came from respected families, Dagestan head Sergei Melikov said at a public meeting in the Sergokalinsky District on July 9.

“The terrorists turned out to be from the Sergokalinsky district, and from respected families who had achieved certain results in society, in business, in sports,” he said.

Melikov emphasized that the district residents do not support the terrorists. He called the sweeping accusations against the Dagestanis and Sergokalinsk residents unfounded. The head of the republic noted that police officer Khabib Aliyev, who also comes from the Sergokalinsk district, was killed in the shootout with the bandits.

"The parents of police officer Khabib Aliyev are present here. We must talk about such parents who raised a hero, about an ordinary police officer who, while at his post and not being ready for an attack, shielded civilians with his body. They deserve to be talked about today and remembered forever," Melikov said.

The head of Dagestan noted that terrorists had been hindering the development of the region for 15 years. Because of their actions, normal businesses and successful enterprises from other regions did not enter the republic. It was also impossible to carry out construction, reconstruct roads and infrastructure, Melikov added.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on June 23, after the terrorist attacks in Dagestan, law enforcement officers detained the head of the republic's Sergokalinsky district, Magomed Omarov, as they received information that two of his sons were involved in the attacks. It later became known that one of the official's sons was eliminated by security forces.

The next day, Melikov removed Omarov from his post. The head of the republic stated that in the event of terrorist attacks, there should be full responsibility.
What is the Lesson of Life, my father used to ask, having settled on the Socratic Method of parenting when we grew too old to spank. In this case, it clearly is Don’t let your children grow up to be ISIS, at least in that part of the world where dear Volodya Putin holds the reins.
After this, the former head of the district was detained. He was sentenced to ten days of administrative arrest for swearing in a public place. On July 5, Omarov was released, but the next day he was detained again on suspicion of committing economic crimes.

In addition, six of Omarov's sons were sentenced to administrative terms. They were found guilty of petty hooliganism. On July 8, it became known that they had all been released.

Russia's Investigative Committee said on July 8 that the suspects in the Dagestan attacks had been charged with terrorism. All had been remanded in custody.

On July 9, the Soviet District Court of Makhachkala ordered Omarov's arrest until September 5. He is accused of fraud and money laundering.

Fifth Column
Comes as a surprise, huh?
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

U.S. intelligence authorities say Iranian government actors have been financially supporting some of the pro-Hamas riots and protests in the U.S., and using social media to incite people to take to the streets.

Many of the far-left & Muslim demonstrations have featured… Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist flags.
Yeah. Floored me too. Uhuh. True story. On my honor as a Biden.

#6  But nobody ever answers for anything. They *stole* a Presidential election (and a couple of congressional seats) from right in front of us and no answers were ever demanded. They arrested and imprisoned what were essentially "invited tourists" on January 6th and threw the book at them, and no answers were demanded. They threw open the borders and turned the border "patrol" into the border escort service, and no answers were demanded. They've paraded Mayorkas in front of countless "hearings" in which he's lied, lied, and lied, and yet there were no answers demanded.

"Our" side sucks at this entire "holding others accountable" thing.
