05/01/2024: The people arrested at these protests breaking the law are not students. They are anti-Jew anti-Israel agitators with criminal pasts. Look at the names, ages and mugshots of those arrested. They're not students.

The protests are being funded by groups getting money from Hamas. They're not even legal "charities."

The protesters were trained by outside groups with their own agendas. The few students involved in the protests were manipulated and used for propaganda and political purposes. SJP Students for Justice in Palestine which was formed in 1993 is funded partially by Hamas. These entities want the US and world to think the Hamas Israel war is similar to the US Vietnam war. It's not. Back then students were in the right to speak out against that senseless war. In this situation terrorists Hamas broke a cease fire agreement, invaded Israel, murdered, raped, tortured 1,200 innocent civilians, kidnapped over 300 innocent civilians and bombed Israel. Hamas along with Palestinians, PLO, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad did these things. They continue to launch missiles at Israel and murder Jews in Israel.

04/29/2024: All gates at USC are still locked. Protesters who are not USC students still finding a way in. One of them graffiti'd Tommy Trojan statue. They may have to wrap it up like they do when USC plays UCLA. The protesters causing most of the problems are not USC students. I feel they are supported by some pro Hamas entities based on the fact they call Hamas "freedom fighters" and think October 7 was acceptable. They also don't talk or act like USC students. They don't know the campus and they definitely don't know the issues or history. I interacted with a few of them. I saw USC students telling them to get the hell out.

04/24/2024: I was at the pro Palestine protest at Alumni Park on USC campus April 24, 2024 from 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm. I was clearly there as an alumni to support Jewish people. From what I could tell the protesters were not USC students. They did not have USC ID cards which is why they were asked to leave. When they refused they were arrested for trespassing. USC is a private school on private land.

The USC students were mainly against the protesters. They gave them the finger and told them to go home, get the hell off campus. There was a ton of USC security and local LAPD. They taped off Vermont Ave from 27th to south of Jefferson around 36th street. I parked on Vermont and they had to lift the tape at two intersections to let me out. They also locked all the gates to the school campus. The main campus is about eight square blocks of private land. I had to walk way around to get to the main gate to get out. On my way out is when I saw the Palestine graffiti in green.

I spoke to two protesters. A young man maybe high school in Palestine headdress just came up and yelled "do you support the genocide." I said "I support the Jewish people and Israel's right to exist." He kept yelling "do you support the murder of women and children?" I said "do you support Hamas raping women and chopping the heads off babies." That was the end of that conversation.

A young woman came up and said she supports Jews but they are committing a genocide in Gaza. I told her the Holocaust was a genocide. Tell Hamas to free the hostages and Israel will cease fire. She said Israel has to cease fire first. I told her Hamas would then kill all the Jews and destroy Israel. Israel has the right to defend itself. Hamas has violated every cease fire including the one ended up October 7, 2023. That ended that conversation.

I spoke to some news crews, told them I was alumni and I support Jewish people and Israel's right to exist. I told them the protesters were clueless brainwashed kids.

For those that need basic Israel, Jewish facts, I wrote this short fact sheet.
https://marycumminsinvestigativereporter.blogspot.com/2023/12/false-claims-about-israel-jews-jewish.html

The protesters were chanting and marching in a circle in front of Doheny library. They chanted the following:

"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." (Israel exists from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean sea. They want all Jews murdered and Israel destroyed)

"Disclose, divest, we will not stop we will not rest. If we don't get it, shut it down." (They want USC to divest of any pro Israel entities. If not, they will shut the school down? Many of USC's buildings were built from Jewish donor funds, i.e. Mark's Hall, Tennis Stadium, Michelson Hall... USC won't turn them back on major donors)

"Hey, hey, ho, ho, the occupation has got to go."

"What do we want, Justice, when do we want it, now." (When they yelled "what do we want?" I yelled "free the hostages!" When they yelled "When do we want it?" I yelled "Free them now!" After I did that twice they changed chants.)

"While you're learning, Gaza's burning."

"Israel is a settler state." (Israel has existed for over 3,000 years. They are not settlers.)

"Free, free Palestine, USC you can't hide, ...from genocide." (USC is not committing genocide. Neither is Israel. Hamas, Palestine broke a cease fire and invaded Israel murdering, raping, torturing 1,200 people and kidnapping over 300. Israel has the right to defend itself. Hamas hides in hospitals, churches using Palestinians as human shields.)

"Tuition, not ammunition."

False Claims About Israel, Jews, Jewish People Clarified by Mary Cummins

The amount of false claims, fake news and propaganda being spread about Israel and Jewish people on social media and main stream media is out of control. A few of my Facebook friends are supporting Hamas, Islamic Jihad, PLO, Palestine and their false and disgusting propaganda and antisemitism. I have Latino friends saying that Palestinians are like Native Americans and Israelis are like the Spaniard colonialists who claimed and took the Americas by force. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's the exact opposite. I really hope they are merely uneducated and were just brainwashed by the Hamas, terrorist paid propaganda. I'm writing this post to help clarify and educate about a few things for non Jews so people will stop supporting lying terrorists.

FTR I was born and raised Catholic. I grew up in Beverly Hills, California and most of my friends were, are Jewish. Most of my friend's grandparents were in the Holocaust and concentration camps. They had ID numbers tattoo'd on their arms. There was a lot of Jewish education at Beverly Hills High School and in the City. The main Holocaust TV series aired when I was growing up. I went to my friends Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. While I'm no Jewish scholar I do know a little about Jewish history for this reason.

Below are some of the main lies about Israel and Jewish people.

1. Israel is an apartheid state.

Apartheid means separation by race or ethnicity. There is NO separation of race or ethnicity in Israel. Arabs, Christians, Jews, white, black ... all go to the same public schools. They are allowed in all government positions. There is no segregation. Israel is the opposite of an apartheid state.

2. Israel is a colonialist state.

Colonialism is the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically. Israel has existed for thousands of years in the same location. It used to be, still is called Judea. The name Judea comes from the Hebrew name Yehudah. The term "Judea" has been used since 700 BCE to describe the area where the population was mostly Jewish. They are and have been occupying and settling their own country and land for about three thousands years. If you challenge any of this, you are called a racist by Hamas, unless you are racist against Jews. Then you are a "faithful ally of the oppressed." The Hamas propaganda twists everything around so that the victim is the perpetrator. Propaganda against Jews has been happening for centuries and it continues.

3. Israel is white supremacy

White supremacy is the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups. People in Israel are all different colors, ethnicities, cultures and religions. They are all treated equally. Most consider Israelis brown while some may have lighter skin because some were in Europe for generations. Here in the US they were never considered white. They were grouped with blacks, Mexicans, Italians, Native Americans, Asians... Real White Supremacists hate Jewish people and think they are inferior to whites. I'd consider Jews the opposite of white supremacy.

4. Zionism is terrorism.

Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel. Zion is the biblical term for the land of Israel. Jews have lived in Israel aka Judea for thousands of years. They have the right to exist. If you don't think they have the right to exist, you're an antisemite who wants them dead and gone.

5. Israel bombs, kills women and children in Gaza

Israel is targeting Hamas who are hiding in hospitals, schools, refugee camps and private homes of Palestinian civilians. Hamas uses hostages, women and children like human shields.When Israel is going to target an area they warn the residents ahead of time telling them to move. They do this by dropping flyers and by loud speakers when able even though they know they are tipping off Hamas. Hamas on the other hand gives no warnings. They gave no warning on October 7, 2023 when they invaded Israel and raped, tortured, murdered, burned men, women and children. Hamas bombs, fires missiles at, kills Israelis every day. Israel has repeatedly asked for a cease fire and Hamas refuses. If Hamas were to stay away from civilians, no civilians would be killed. Israel's goal is not to kill civilians. Hamas intentionally surrounds itself with hostages, women and children in hospitals to protect Hamas. If they die, even by the hand of Hamas intentionally or by misfires, they blame Israel to try to get sympathy for their terrorist cause.

Israel is following the law in the war. They are fine targeting the enemy. Two civilians are sadly killed per each enemy combatant. While any civilian death is horrible the average in modern warfare is nine to one. This shows Israel is doing all it can be prevent civilian deaths. They even warn the civilians weeks in advance where they will be targeting and tell them to move. They even provide tents and food for the civilians.

It is a travesty than any civilians or any people die in this conflict. Hamas could end it by stopping their attack, releasing the hostages or surrendering but they don't. What gets me is people who say "Israel is killing children in Gaza." What about the children killed in Israel? They don't count? Their lives don't matter? Israel is being bombed almost every single day. Jews, Israelis die every day. I don't want anyone to be killed on either side.

6. Palestine should be free

Palestine has never existed as a true nation. They are considered part of Southern Syria by Arabs. Those in what is referred to as the state of Palestine rule themselves. They allegedly voted to allow the PLO and Hamas to rule them. They are as free as PLO and Hamas allow them to be. It's not up to Israel. The surrounding countries refuse to allow Palestinians to enter. Tell Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria ... to let them into their country. They have refused.

7. South African filed a suit with the UN against Israel stating they committed "genocide."

Any nation can file any suit for any reason. It doesn't mean it has merit or is based on fact. US President Biden stated it was "meritless." "U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby last week called the lawsuit “meritless, counterproductive, and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.”

South African did not even mention the October 7, 2023 attack in their suit. SA didn't include any video from the Oct 7 attack. They only included unverified and generally false video clips from TikTok as their "evidence." SA clearly supports terrorists Hamas and antisemitism. Israel is engaged in a war with Hamas. They want to stop Hamas. Hamas is using Palestinians as human shields. They are not committing "genocide."

"The word “genocide” did not exist prior to 1944. It is a very specific term coined by a Polish-Jewish lawyer named Raphael Lemkin (1900–1959) who sought to describe Nazi policies of systematic murder during the Holocaust, including the destruction of European Jews. He formed the word genocide by combining geno-, from the Greek word for race or tribe, with -cide, from the Latin word for killing."

Below are some truths about the situation.

1. Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, ISIS are terrorists organizations whose main goal is to kill all the Jews and remove them from Israel. They are support the destruction of the West, US, Britain...just about everyone except Arab states and some Muslims. They clearly, publicly and loudly state this every day. If you support those groups or their actions, you support terrorism and antisemitism.

2. "From the River to the Sea" means you want all Jews killed and removed from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea aka all of Israel. There is no other meaning.

3. Israel has offered cease fires to Hamas many times and they refuse or they violate them. The current offer is a permanent cease fire by Israel if Hamas releases all hostages, stops bombing Israel and surrenders. Hamas said no. Keeping power in the area of Palestine is financially lucrative to the leaders who aren't even living in the area. They are billionaires living in Europe making money off the conflict. They make money maintaining control and having their people wage war against Israel. They personally take the "aid" money and supplies. The cease fires Hamas has agreed to in the past were broken by Hamas and not Israel.

4. "Bring the intifada!" Intifada is attacking, terrorizing Jews, Israel and destroying Israel.

5. I wrote this article before the campus protests. The leaders of Hamas are thanking the "students" and outside agitators for their help terrorizing, attacking, trying to destroy Israel. When Hamas is thanking you, you know you're on the wrong side. See my recent articles which show Hamas entities are behind the campus uprising. They are behind all the misinformation and propaganda spread on social media around the world.

I will add to this list as more issues and fallacies arise.

Elizer "Elie" Wiesel obituary, Marion Erster Rose wife, Schlomo Elisha Wiesel son, Holocaust, Romania, New York, Conneticut

Elie Wiesel, Elizer Wiesel, obituary, Holocaust, family tree, ancestry, heritage, auschwitz, death camp, Marion Erster Rose, Tzipora Wiesel, Beatrice Wiesel, Hilda Wiesel, Sarah Feig, Schlomo Wiesel

I was reading some articles about the passing of Elie Wiesel. I noticed people have the wrong names and dates. I did some research to get the correct names and dates of his family.

Elizer "Elie" Wiesel was born in what is now Romania September 30, 1928 and died July 2, 2016 in New York. His father Schlomo Wiesel was born in Romania October 10, 1900. He died in Germany January 29, 1945 at a concentration camp. His mother was Sarah Feig born 1905 in Romania died in Auschwitz Death Camp 1944.

Elie Wiesel had three sisters. His younger sister was Tzipora Wiesel born 1937 in Romania and died in a Death Camp 1945. He had two older sisters. Hilda Wiesel was born August 28, 1922 in Romania. His sister Beatrice "Bea" was born January 1, 1925. His older sisters survived the war, Holocaust. Bea moved to Quebec, Montreal. Hilda moved to France.

Elie Wiesel married Marion Erster Rose April 2, 1969 in Israel. Marion was also a Holocaust survivor. Marion was born January 27, 1931 in Vienna, Austria. June 6, 1972 they welcomed a son Shlomo Elisha Wisel. They lived in Conneticut then New York. Marion has a daughter named Jennifer Rose born approximately 1967 from a previous marriage.

In 1955 Elie Wiesel wrote French book "La Nuit," "The Night." It was later translated into English and many other languages by his future wife Marion Rose. He received a Nobel Peace Prize for his book in 1986. I had the good fortune to meet him a few times when he was here in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles for events.

Below is a simplified family tree. Thanks to the Jewish Holocaust Survivor List printed in Sharit Ha-Platah in 1946 and the Dachau, Germany Concentration Camp Records 1945.
