'Antisemitic' British band banned from US after viral 'death to the IDF' festival chants
Monday, 30 June 2025 () The State Department has pulled visas for British band Bob Vylan after the group called for "death" to the Israel Defense Forces during the Glastonbury Music Festival Saturday.
In a fresh escalation, Donald Trump has accused Harvard University of antisemitism and is considering slashing $3 billion in federal funding, claiming the money would be better invested in trade schools. Trump alleges that Harvard is shielding "radicalized lunatics" and has failed to submit student protest data, particularly involving foreign students. A federal court in Boston has temporarily blocked DHS from revoking Harvard’s authority to enroll international students, prompting Trump to accuse the judge of “judge shopping” and siding with Harvard due to political bias. The legal feud intensifies amid broader debates over free speech, campus protests, and political influence in higher education.

President Donald Trump has defended the Biden-era ban on Harvard University enrolling foreign students, accusing the institution of hiding crucial data and failing to report violent activity by non-immigrant students. Trump also demanded transparency, citing Harvard's $52 million reserve and $53.2 billion endowment. With Homeland Security revoking Harvard’s visa privileges, and a federal judge temporarily pausing the move, thousands of foreign students’ futures hang in the balance. The ban is part of a wider crackdown amid rising anti-Semitism allegations and protests over Gaza. Federal funding to Harvard is now under review.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly condemned the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., calling it a “horrifying antisemitic murder.” The victims, reportedly targeted by a suspect shouting “Free Palestine,” were attending a diplomatic event when the attack occurred. Netanyahu, briefed by Israeli and U.S. officials, including Ambassador Michael Herzog and Attorney General Pam Bondi, warned that incitement against Israel is now turning deadly. He thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for his unequivocal support and announced increased security at Israeli diplomatic missions worldwide.

Iran’s judiciary has reported that 935 people were killed during the 12-day Israeli aerial bombardment, according to forensics data cited by state media. Among the dead are 132 women and 38 children, indicating the significant civilian toll. The Israeli military has stated it targeted Iranian military leaders, nuclear scientists, and facilities, including suspected nuclear development sites.
While Israel claims its strikes were strategic and defense-oriented, Iranian officials have condemned them as indiscriminate and brutal, escalating tensions in an already fragile region. The death toll adds weight to calls for international accountability and raises questions about the conduct of war and proportionality in military engagements. The 12-day conflict marked one of the most intense escalations between the two nations, with ripple effects across the Middle East. As both countries navigate the aftermath, Iran is pushing for diplomatic and legal responses while also reinforcing its defense capabilities.

More than 580 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,200 injured while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the latest data from the Gaza Media Office. Eyewitness reports and Israeli media reveal shocking claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire on unarmed, starving civilians—men, women, and children—desperate for food.
The UN has condemned the US-Israel airdrop system as a “death trap”, calling it a catastrophic failure of humanitarian response. A new study, led by the University of London and Palestinian scholars, reveals that nearly 100,000 people have died since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza—most from airstrikes, many from starvation and disease.
This video unpacks the systematic targeting of civilians, the crumbling infrastructure, and the global silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. Rights groups are calling this a modern genocide. Will the world act before it's too late?

The United States has made it clear that it won’t continue brokering Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations indefinitely. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce told Fox News that while Washington has done its part to bring both sides to the table, the responsibility now lies with Moscow and Kiev. With a second round of peace talks proposed in Istanbul for June 2, all eyes are on Ukraine's response. Will the war-torn nations reach a ceasefire agreement — or is time running out?

The U.S. is ramping up its anti-China stance with new visa restrictions targeting Chinese students. Senator Marco Rubio revealed plans to revoke visas of students with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party or sensitive academic fields. China has condemned the move, accusing the U.S. of politicizing education and harming international cooperation. With Chinese students making up the second-largest international group in the U.S., these policies could disrupt academic institutions and worsen U.S.-China relations. The State Department has also paused new interviews and expanded social media screening for applicants.
