Joe Biden was visiting Pittsburgh while nearby JVP protesters demanded a ‘ceasefire’ that would save Hamas. One of the protesters was Talya Lubit, a recent college graduate, who told the media, “We’ve been begging and pleading for a ceasefire for six months now.”
Three months later, Lubit, who had been active in anti-Israel rallies and petitions, vandalized a synagogue. Arrested alongside her was Mohamad: a self-described “Hamas operative”.
“I can literally feel myself starting to see Jews as my enemies,” Lubit messaged Mohamad.
The story of Mohamad Hamad and Talya Adira Lubit, a Hamas supporter who practiced building bombs and an anti-Israel leftist who had grown up in the Jewish community, going after a synagogue is also the larger story of the Jewish leftist romance with Islamic terrorism.
Talya Lubit, who came from a traditional pro-Israel Jewish home, had decided to pursue Middle East Studies at a college that specialized in social justice where Israeli hummus had been banned by the Student Senate and where an encampment had been set up for Gaza.
Despite being raised in a conservative Jewish household, Talya abandoned Judaism, adopted veganism and became an animal rights activist. “Sometimes it’s as if we forget that we are animals and we kind of set ourselves above as if we are this higher creature.”
As a Middle East Studies student, Talya became obsessed with Arab Islamic culture. A profile that appears to be hers claimed that she found “Arabic and many aspects of Middle Eastern culture” to be “incredibly beautiful.” Somewhere along the way, Talya met Mohamad.
Mohamad Hamad, according to the indictment, “referred to himself as a ‘Hamas operative,’ sent a picture of himself wearing a headband with the Hamas logo to another associate, and exchanged messages with another individual regarding building an explosive device, including a video of a test detonation.”
Even while Hamad was promoting an Islamic terrorist group, he was also working on the maintenance squad for the Pennsylvania Air National Guard’s 171st Air Refueling Wing until he was “barred from the facility in mid-September” for unknown reasons.
Together, Talya and Mohamad bonded over messages “during which they planned their vandalism activities and specifically discussed selecting Jewish targets.”
“If I join you in doing graffiti on this building it matters to me that it is done in good taste,” Talya Lubit insisted at one point. She worried about “trying to make it ugly and abnoxious” and “like borderline desecration of religious place”.
The “good taste” graffiti that the duo settled on was the red ‘inverted triangle’ used by Hamas and its supporters to mark Jewish targets for death underneath the words ‘Jews 4 Palestine’ .
Lubit described the synagogue vandalism as “a last ditch attempt at staying Jewish.”
The anti-Israel activist who had been raised in a pro-Israel Jewish household before undergoing years of indoctrination on a radical college campus wrote that, “I can literally feel myself starting to see Jews as my enemies”.
Mohamad Hamad bought the spray paint and googled Jewish synagogues to target in the Pittsburgh area. Talya Lubit served as the human shield for the ‘Hamas operative’. And like other anti-Israel protesters of Jewish origins, she still does. Their function is to pretend that Muslim attacks on Jews are not antisemitic, but a political statement about a war.
And yet Lubit’s own text messages showed that it was all about hating Jews.
The partnership so often seen between Hamas and its leftist accomplices, some like Jewish Voice for Peace, If Not Now, T’ruah and J Street claiming to be Jewish, was perfectly represented in the synagogue vandalism that eventually led to the arrest of the hateful duo.
The vandalism combined their dishonest claim that it was possible to support terrorists while being Jewish with a call to murder Jews.
The rally at which Lubit had protested Biden had featured Jewish Voice for Peace activists. JVP’s Pittsburgh chapter had also been very much involved in campus encampments.
Students at nearby college encampments had been chanting “Jews for Palestine” at their anti-Israel rallies. “Jews for Palestine” is an organizing name and hashtag used by various anti-Israel groups who claim to be Jewish including Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). Some of these groups serve as front groups for Islamist organizations tied to Hamas.
It’s not clear if Talya Lubit had any formal association with the JVP hate group, but she appeared to have taken part in at least one of its rallies and had signed a letter in support of Rep. Summer Lee and against Israel backed by multiple figures from the hate group.
Other signers of the letter beyond Lubit included Allie Levin, who heads the local Jewish Voice for Peace chapter and Alexandra Weiner, a member of the hate group’s local chapter.
Alexandra Weiner, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Mathematics, a transgender man who identifies as a woman and an anti-Israel activist who identifies as Jewish had been accused by a student of saying that he supported “the liberation of Palestine through armed resistance against all of Israel by any means necessary” and “supports the killing of any Israeli or Zionist colonialist.”
Weiner has told the media that he started taking hormones on Oct 7 and that his “transition journey is really intertwined with my Palestine activism journey” with the JVP hate group.
The Pittsburgh JVP chapter posted an ad for a vigil on Oct 7 to “honor our martyrs” which is a term used for Hamas terrorists “honoring the long, ongoing struggle of the Palestinian people.”
This is the kind of ugly atmosphere that may have helped radicalize Lubit into partnering with a ‘Hamas operative’ to vandalize a synagogue.
College campuses have become indoctrination centers where the weak minded can be radicalized into becoming the enemies of everything they were raised to believe in. And Talya Lubit, who according to a community source was suffering from psychological issues, was one of them. Radical leftist politics, beginning with militant animal rights activism, was a gateway to eventually accepting and even participating in violence against Jews by Hamas.
Talya’s story is not just a tragedy: it’s a warning.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
Perfidious JINO.
Eli Truax says
She was poisoned by her teachers.
Steve says
If you mean the university professors, I agree (and probably elementary and secondary school too- in “progressive” California kindergarten children are indoctrinated with Hamas slogans). But the Jewish education she received was probably completely inadequate in teaching her to recognize and counter the “Palestinian” narrative- which has as its core the destruction of Israel and its Jews. “Progressive” Jews don’t want to acknowledge that in the present day Jew hating is overwhelmingly a left wing phenomenon and their “allies” would find events like October 7th pogrom “exhilarating”. Kamala herself defends genocidal Hamas apologists as having “their own reality”. A reality unburdened by what has been, that is, historical fact.
Dr. Larry says
Or a non-Orthodox “”Jewish” education.
Alix Brit says
When Talya met Mohammed – the ending is EXPLOSIVE! What a vile self hating little girl she is. As for JVP the vast majority of their members ae no Jewish.

We have always had this type in our midst. Unfortunate and sad.

…and many more Jewish traitors!
Gabrielle says
A tragedy resulting from the pathological, brain-cell murdering, higher-education microbiome. An insular Petrie dish of the deadliest form of bacteria: hideous-instructus academius.
These young who embrace pathological hatred toward themselves, their people and culture are a curiosity as to why they have been easily, inextricably drawn into the rot of victimhood as a permanent identity. This young Jewish woman has effectively acted as a one-woman wrecking ball against herself as a Jewish woman, her family, her Jewish community and worldwide Jewry! She has stepped upon her people like these other leftist organizations for whom the necessary and most aggressively needed antidote is to be fully immersed in truth; factual reality. Not the subjective, new age moniker “my truth” which is fundamentally a subjective rabbit hole of intentionally persuasive and ever-changing falsehoods. She and so many, many others are blinded by the emotive hysteria rooted in either these blatant lies or half-truths and they are rationally unable to critique either to locate factual information.
The many kibbutzim near the border with Gaza had many of those residents themselves adherents to leftist ideology. They had people from Gaza as housekeepers, baby sitters, workers and occasionally as guests; often referring to them as “friends”. These people from Gaza, however, were deliberately investigating their homes, family members, including the number of children and their sexes, writing down the layouts of their residences and where their safe rooms were located, These leftists lived in the illusory hum of their ideological precepts….,right up until their homes were invaded and they were either raped, mutilated, murdered or survived as witnesses of horrors unimagined by them. Many who survived have stated they were leftist liberals on October 7, and conservatives on October 8. REALITY IS UNRELENTING! Those who have been direct victims or extended family and friends witnessing the effects of these atrocities no longer harbor ideological nonsense and if they still persist, an inpatient facility awaits them.
This is a sad and sobering reality check that ALL parents need to become truth tellers challenging their children and pulling them out of the Matrix!!
Cat says
A book or several can be written about anti Semitism in America and Jews responses and adjustment and. assimilation here. It isn’t always a pretty picture. The more assimilated type faith denominations, which may have seemed like a viable idea at first, became taken over by Marxism. That created confusion and delusions for some Jews. For many American Jews, 10/7 was a reality check. But with little religious or cultural background, where will they go from there?
I’m not at all excusing Talia, the crazy traitor. Each person is responsible for their choices. Most obviously we Jews need to protect our children better and protect our culture and faith. . I’m just adding some (excuse the word) context.
Gabrielle says
Of course. We also know from our history that many of our Jewish people thought through our many contributions and “assimilation” in German culture we had been accepted. We found out that lie with the Holocaust.. Young Talia still is living in a very dangerous delusion. It is this reality and teaching our children truths that are often deemed unimportant that are so deeply needed to protect them and teach and prepare them to discern so much that is a of hidden part of this death culture. As a people of life, such accommodations made by our people to hatred and darkness are a truly heartbreaking reality check.

Brilliantly stated.

I’ve seen a lot of graffiti in the East Bay (SF Bay) and none of it is neat, legible, and spelled correctly, unless done by a professional leftist.
Steve says
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez had campaign signs write in Arabic, and didn’t realize the Arabic script was write backwards. Of course, she is also the leader of the mentally retarded caucus in Congress.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Steve, good one 🙂

no news for Jewish history. there were self hating Jews through thousands years of Jewish history. most probably there would be born others, like these, along the way in future.
Mo de Profit says
“decided to pursue Middle East Studies”
Nuff said. Would you employ someone who has that on their CV?
Pink Misty for Me says
“I can literally feel myself starting to see Jews as my enemies.”
I can literally feel my overworked Iraq & A-stan index finger gently stroking the trigger well of my 416. The VA says it’s something to do with…Post Traumatic Shahid Disposal. Why don’t we meet up and explore your grievances, Talya. Bring Mohamad and any other brothers and sisters you can find. I know it would be highly enjoyable for at least one of us.
Steve says
Wow, a vegan Hamas supporter. Aside from being an antisemite of Jewish ancestry (which is sadly as commonplace as it is insane- look at Bernie, George Soros, Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky or The New York Times’ rent-a-Jews Peter Beinert & Thomas Friedman) does she really suppose that dumb beasts are a concern in Islamic cultures?
Steven Brizel says
This Jewish woman became a useful idiot for Hamas -one has to wonder about her Jewish education
Dr. Larry says
We can be sure it wasn’t Orthodox.
Alexandra Weiner says
hahahahahahahaha y’all are funny. another example of Zionist and TERF brainrot being mutual comorbidities. Free Palestine from the river to the sea
Alix Brit says
ALEXANDER, what are your pronouns?
Alexandra Weiner says
she/her, thanks for asking 🙂 what are your pronouns Alix? By the way, you misspelled my name
Daniel Greenfield says
Now that you’ve graced us with your presence, care to discuss whether you knew Talya Lubit?
dani says
nobody cares – get back to being a useful idiot
MuggsSpongedice says
you should have used a pseudonym – if you get a free phone with a return address from MOSSAD I wouldn’t open it
Alexandra Weiner says
thank you for the advice! will not open any packages with a MOSSAD return address
dani says
you won’t get anything -you’re much too irrelevant
Yuri Bezmenov says
Not a lot of latent homosexual men dressing up as women in Gaza. Or the West Bank. After you get shitcanned from that job you have no business having, you should go to Gaza and rectify that. Courage of your convictions and all. Put your money where your cock holster is. Bon voyage. Give my regards to Yahya and the rest.
Intrepid says
So another self-important, useful Jew hating idiot graces our pages with her pompous, fatuous Leftist stupidity. And you have pronouns too. How very special you are. I suppose without them you wouldn’t know what you are.
Free Palestine from the river to the sea. Really? That’s the best you can do?
There is a reason why silly leftists always resort to worn out Nursery rhymes.
Poor Alexandra the Weenie. You may go away now. It’s clear you have nothing intelligent to add.
Ilan says
Every day, from river to sea, the land is freed of more and more goat-f**king sons of dogs. Please be patient while the IDF continues working diligently to fulfill your request.
Alix Brit says
I will bet Lubit has hairy armpits.
Sam says
Absolutely bonkers example of just horrible journalism, fear mongering, Zionist framing mixed with clear islamaphobia/transphobia/anti-arab racism. y’all disgusting
RAM says
It’s no phobia when it has a solid basis. You could look that up.
MARYLOU LEEMAN says
Stockholm syndrome.
Johnny Dammitson says
Maybe you should take a look in the mirror before spouting tiresome propaganda. Let me just give you an example of one of the many antisemitic organizations on college campuses, the “Columbia University Apartheid Divest” group, which they shamelessly posted on Substack (I won’t give them the satisfaction of putting the link here, but a quick search for “CUAD Substack” will get you what you’re looking for):
“COMMEMORATING AL-AQSA FLOOD | HONORING OUR MARTYRS | TACTICAL LESSONS FROM BRAZILIAN STUDENTS
CUAD
OCT 17, 2024”
By the way, that article mentions some recommended reading such as “Chairman Mao’s On Guerrilla Warfare, Ch. 1”. Some of the other articles on that Substack unironically praise Vladimir Lenin. You’d have to do a double take to remember you’re on a Substack article and not some Hamas propaganda page.
So let that be a lesson to you, even though I doubt it will penetrate your thick skull: Not only do these pro-Hamas agitators aren’t hiding their opinion, they’re shamelessly flaunting it on public forums like Substack and Twitter.
Daniel Greenfield says
Absolutely bonkers woke salad that fails to address the actual events described in the article.
This isn’t academia, it’s the real world. Shouting woke word salads doesn’t work, y’all.
Roark says
Dear Friends, I am terribly disturbed by the self-loathing Jews like Demerit Garland, Schmuck Scummer, Stony Blinkers, MAYORKASS, and those in Israel who work with our enemies to undermine Israel and the Jewish people.
The DemoNazi Party is stacked full of these perfidious Leftists of Jewish origin, who use their vestige of “Jewishness” to undermine us, working closely with our enemies to do so.
They often refer to the Holocaust as a manipulative tool to fool people into believing that they are connected to the Jews while working feverishly to bring about a Final Solution to the Jewish Question aka Two State Solution.
You may not realize this but there is actually a prayer against sick malevolent people who use their appearance of Jewishness to destroy us. Please recite and share this with others to are likeminded:
Birkat HaMinim, a blessing added to the Amidah (central Jewish prayer) during the late first century CE under Rabban Gamliel II, a leader in the Jewish community at that time.
The blessing asks for protection against “malicious” influences, which could include heretical sects or individuals whose views were seen as harmful to the community’s unity and beliefs.
“For the slanderers let there be no hope; and let all wickedness instantly perish. May all Your enemies be speedily cut down, and may You quickly uproot and crush the arrogant. Blessed are You, Lord, who breaks enemies and humbles the arrogant.”
MuggsSpongedice says
A very successful TV show creator, producer and writer from the 1970’s to the early 2000’s who is Hebrew told me on the phone April of this year: “Since the diaspora Jews have lost their identity and vote for the wrong people”
That was like blowing open a window of reality to me – I looked at my own family relations and the attempt to assimilate in USA – loosing one’s identity is part of society – denial and confusion until one day in middle age one must face their ethnicity no matter what it is – But in today’s era being a Hebrew DNA against Jews and Israel is to not be taught one thing about the nazzi death camp holocaust – of which being a baby boomer, I was faced with stories and concentration camp tats of the survivors – what these bone head self loathing Jews do not get is siding with the enemy will not help if they make way into nations other than Israel and they will come for you too!
MARYLOU LEEMAN says
I am reminded of the Stockholm syndrome.
Roark says
There is actually a specific prayer against self-hating Jews in Judaism, writing by Rabbi Gamliel under Roman rule when there were perfidious Jews who sided with the Romans as Scummer and his comrades do with the DemoNazi Party.
Birkat HaMinim, a blessing added to the Amidah (central Jewish prayer) during the late first century CE under Rabban Gamliel II, a leader in the Jewish community at that time. This prayer, sometimes called the 19th blessing, is directed at those who were seen as antagonistic toward the Jewish community, including individuals considered to be undermining or attacking Jewish identity from within.
The blessing asks for protection against “malicious” influences, which could include heretical sects or individuals whose views were seen as harmful to the community’s unity and beliefs. Traditionally, it reads:
“For the slanderers let there be no hope; and let all wickedness instantly perish. May all Your enemies be speedily cut down, and may You quickly uproot and crush the arrogant. Blessed are You, Lord, who breaks enemies and humbles the arrogant.”
Please recite if you are so inclined and share with others.
