The New School student government is suspending student funding for the campus Hillel chapter. They cite programs sending students to support the IDF, including units that killed a 78-year-old American, and killed 15 Palestinian emergency workers & buried them in a mass grave.

New School student government suspends Hillel from receiving student funds over  organization’s material support for genocide

The Student government proclaimed Hillel “Not in Good Standing” in a majority vote after determining Hillel’s violation of a policy that requires all student organizations to comply with international law.

New York City (May 1st, 2026): In a first of its kind resolution for a U.S.-based university, the New School student government voted to declare their campus Hillel chapter “In Bad Standing.” This resolution bars the New School Hillel and the Baruch College Hillel from receiving any Student Government funds, co-sponsorship or events, or logistical support until The New School Hillel disaffiliates from Hillel International and ends its promotion of programs that violate international law. 

On May 1st, The New School Student Government voted to accept a report produced by the Registered Student Organization Compliance Committee that detailed Hillel’s repeated and egregious violations of the University Student Senate’s Declaration of Principles, which requires all university Registered Student Organizations to comply with and adhere to international law. The report detailed violations from both the New School / Baruch College Hillel and the larger Hillel International with which they are affiliated. The violations include Hillel’s participation in three different programs that send students to volunteer in Israel on military bases to provide logistical support for the Israeli army as it wages a genocide in Gaza:“Hillel on Base,” “Onward Israel,” and “The Volunteers for Israel (VFI) / Sar-El Program.” . The report, the result of a lengthy investigation undertaken by the TNS Student Government’s Registered Student Oorganization Compliance Committee, also details several multi-million dollar direct partnerships with Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to promote pro-genocide propaganda through the New School / Baruch College Hillel.

Scoop: Kid Rock flew to Fort Belvoir this morning on his private jet and took a little joy ride on 2 Apache helicopters with War Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to multiple Army sources, and backed up by flight data.  

Apaches typically have 2 pilots, but they went up with one so the boys could each ride shotgun, I'm told. 

Apache helicopters are not stationed at Ft. Belvoir so unclear where they came from. A spokesperson at the base referred questions to the secretary's office.
