07/03 Links Pt2: The Settler Violence Myth; The need to acknowledge Muslim antisemitism; What "Globalize the Intifada" Really Means

From Ian:

Gadi Taub: The Settler Violence Myth
Perhaps most notable was a 14,000-word piece in The New York Times Magazine by Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman and Times investigative journalist Mark Mazzetti, published on May 16. The piece turned reality on its head: What most threatens Israel, it suggested, is not Palestinian terrorism, but rather the “long history of crime” by violent settlers, which has gone “without punishment.” This piece had a particular role in the info op, as International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan referenced it in a CNN interview while he justified his application for arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

By December, the White House-driven narrative shift from Oct. 7 to the supposed victimization of the Palestinians had long been complete. Right before Christmas, CBS ran a story marking the turn: “Since October 7th last year, the U.N. figures there have been more than 1,400 attacks by extremist settlers against Palestinians or their property.”

The Regavim report also debunks the charge that Israel under the Netanyahu government fails to enforce the law on wild settlers or, worse, encourages their violence. In fact, it shows that Israel treats cases of Jewish nationalist violence very seriously; if anything, it hyper-enforces the law. Moreover, contrary to the settler-violence campaign messaging, the evidence shows that enforcement is effective. This is not just because Israeli authorities are proactive but also because settler violence is documented more than any other type of crime.

The conviction rate in Israel for nationalist violence is 56 percent for Arabs and 36 percent for Jews. It is lower for Jews in Judea and Samaria, at 31 percent. The lower rate of convictions for Judea and Samaria Jews may seem at first to point to lax enforcement. But, as the report points out, the “indictment rate against Jewish Israelis for nationalist violence offenses throughout Israel is three times higher than the indictment rate against Arab Israelis for the same types of offenses.” What explains this discrepancy is that authorities are quick to investigate settlers and quick to indict them, sending to court many cases that then get dismissed. The report adds, “The overwhelming majority of complaints received by police against Jewish violence in Judea and Samaria turn out to be false, submitted by left-wing movements and anarchist elements whose aim is to inflame the area.”

Recently leaked recordings of a conversation between the head of the Jewish Division of the Shin Bet—identified in the media by his first initial, “Aleph”—and the former chief of police in Judea and Samaria, Deputy Commissioner Avishai Muallem, support this conclusion. Aleph demanded that Muallem step up arrests of settlers: “We always want to arrest them for interrogation, as much as possible,” he said. “Look at how the Shin Bet interrogations are conducted with them. We arrest these ‘schmucks’ even without evidence for a few days.” When Muallem raised concerns about such questionable methods, Aleph reassured him: “It’s being handled by the Shin Bet Director’s Office with the defense minister. Break them. Put them in detention cells with rats,” he advised. And, if need be, “create the appearance of an investigation.”

It’s common knowledge in Israel that settlers are often subjected to administrative detention, sometimes for months, with no clear investigative premise or evidence of planned violence. It is therefore hard to tell whether Shin Bet is taken by the settler violence canard or whether it’s been helping construct it, especially as frequent administrative detentions give the impression of a serious threat that in turn justifies the policy. Seen in this light, it’s perhaps not surprising that Ronen Bar, the controversial Shin Bet chief who authorized these administrative detentions, was cited as the conscientious voice by the peddlers of the “settler violence” narrative. Nor is it surprising that Israel’s deep state is furiously trying to block Netanyahu’s pick to replace Bar, especially as he apparently envisions a different way forward in the relationship with the settlers.

In addition to Shin Bet, the policy of the IDF public relations office contributes to the “settler violence” campaign. Early last year, with the war in Gaza still at its peak, the former head of the IDF Central Command (which includes Judea and Samaria), Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox, conducted a division-wide military exercise that simulated settlers taking a Palestinian hostage following a terror attack that killed a Jewish baby. The soldiers playing the settlers wore red vests labeled with what can be roughly translated as “Red Team-Enemy.” This purely imaginary scenario was especially jarring while Israel was, and still is, convulsing over the real hostages held by Hamas. The timing of the exercise, four months after Oct. 7, was also notable because it coincided with the Biden administration’s February 2024 executive order targeting settlers. Maj. Gen. Fox promoted the “violent settler” campaign on his last day in office. At his farewell ceremony in July 2024, as the Biden administration was imposing new tranches of sanctions against Jews in Judea and Samaria, he launched a tirade against the settlers, accusing them of “adopting the ways of the enemy.” This week’s clash between some settler youths and the IDF is best understood against this background.

A central point of the anti-settler campaign is to invert reality and create a false equivalence between “extremists on both sides,” who are the impediment to peace, which can be achieved only if we curb the settler zealots. But at its core, the op was always about toppling the right-wing government of Israel, using whatever domestic lever available, without regard to the damage. What’s worse for its advocates is that, after four years of the most intense pressure campaign imaginable, they still came up short. A lie may travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. But reality is a stubborn thing.
Melanie Phillips: The need to acknowledge Muslim antisemitism
The Palestinian cause is a Trojan horse for radical Islam, laundering the Islamists’ death cult through using the language of humanitarianism and anti-colonialism by falsely painting Israel as the oppressor of the Palestinian Arabs.

This false narrative, every part of which is untrue, is now the default position of the West’s progressive classes. Its premise that Israel is the cause of conflict in the region rests upon gross ignorance of the Middle East—that the Jews are the indigenous people of the land and that Zionism is the ultimate anti-colonialist movement.

It also rests upon ignorance that the driver of Islamic hatred of Israel is Muslim antisemitism. All opinion polling shows that antisemitism is vastly higher in the Muslim world than in other communities. Yet this is never talked about in Western nations. It’s the elephant in the room. Diaspora Jews never talk about it, even though they are the victims of it. The wider community is silent about it through the intimidation produced by claims of “Islamophobia.”

Now, however, the situation has become so dangerous that this taboo is being broken. A report by Britain’s Counter Extremism Group think tank, titled “Islamist Antisemitism: A Neglected Hate,” is a rare attempt to address the issue. It rightly states: “The issue of inter-minority prejudice is often regarded as too sensitive to address.”

It acknowledges that the Muslim conflict with Jews is founded in Islamic religious texts, and in a scholarly account, it records that historically, periods of tolerance and security for Jews in Muslim lands were accompanied by periods of bitter oppression and pogroms.

It acknowledges the historic links between the Palestinian Arabs and the Nazis, which first gave rise to the murderous falsehood of “a Jewish genocide of Palestinian Arabs.” And it identifies the way Islamic extremists have made use of and exaggerated the Palestinian cause to foment hatred of the Jews.

However, by identifying antisemitism with “Islamists”—jihadi groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood—even this report shies away from stating the true and horrifying extent of Jew-hatred among grass-roots Muslims who may be opposed to Islamist jihadi extremism.

The failure by Israel and its supporters to properly call out the libels about Israel has helped the lie to grow that the Jews are uniquely violent and murderous, and so the Jewish state is the same, while obscuring the truth that the Islamic world is uniquely violent and murderous toward Jews.

The refusal to call out the nature and extent of Muslim antisemitism has obscured the implacable and murderous danger posed not just by political extremists but by the entire Muslim world.

The result is not just that Britain may indeed be lost, but so, too, may America unless they both start properly facing up to and tackling the evil forces that threaten the free world.
To defeat antisemitism, we must first define it
This concept should not be controversial. It certainly isn’t partisan. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have embraced the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition. A supermajority of U.S. states have already adopted it. So have dozens of countries around the world. And for good reason: It’s the only definition that has a demonstrable track record of helping communities identify and push back against antisemitism — especially the kind that hides behind politics.

Zion is not an idea; Zion is a hill, in Jerusalem, Israel, where the Jews are from. Zionism, the belief that Jewish people have a right to their homeland, is the quintessential national origin movement. Telling Jews they can’t be Zionists and simultaneously remain full participants in society isn’t social critique; it’s discrimination. And criminal actions based on that hatred should be punishable as such.

That is all the Define to Defeat Act is about: equipping law enforcement, prosecutors, and civil rights enforcers with the ability to name and respond to antisemitic actions- including violence- especially when that violence comes wrapped in politically convenient excuses. It extends the same common-sense framework that Rep. Mike Lawler’s (R-N.Y.) Antisemitism Awareness Act applies to Title VI education cases into other federal civil rights contexts — like employment and housing — and helps close the gap between intent and enforcement. And while it is absolutely important to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism in the context of Title VI, when it comes to protecting civil rights, Moore’s bill does more.

Opponents of the definition have tried to manufacture a debate over whether the definition is too broad, too nuanced, or too controversial. It isn’t. It explicitly states that criticism of Israel comparable to criticism of any other country is not antisemitic. It even includes safeguards that stress context. The reason the specific examples about Israel are provided is explicitly not because all criticism of Israel is antisemitic, as the definition takes pains to point out twice, but because there are those who falsely claim that no criticism of Israel can ever cross the line, and use their anti-Zionism as an excuse to target Jewish people or institutions.

The act does not protect Israel; it protects Jewish people in America who are unlawfully discriminated against because of their real or perceived connection to Israel.

Right now, the FBI reports that the majority of religiously motivated hate crimes in the U.S. are committed against Jews, who make up only 2 percent of the population. That’s not just alarming. It’s a national crisis. And we cannot defeat a problem we are too afraid to define. The Define to Defeat Act is a good-faith, narrowly tailored, bipartisan tool to help do just that, and all Members of both parties should support it.


Nicole Lampert: ‘There is a war on in Israel, but it feels safer for Jews than Britain’
Crowds of people swarmed around information stands. Old people, young couples, toddlers and babes in arms. One person joked: “There must be a Yiddish phrase for ‘Packed like sardines.’” But most were not in the mood for humour. Some even had tears in their eyes as speakers on the stage talked of “coming home”.

This was the scene at an “aliyah fair” held in north London last month for British Jews contemplating moving to Israel (the Hebrew term “aliyah” literally means “ascending” or “rising”, but for generations it’s been used to denote immigration to Israel). And while the fair is an annual event, organisers were surprised by just how busy the 2025 gathering was, with 1,100 participants attending, three times the number of the year before.

“Usually, we have a few hundred people, but this time we were surprised by how many signed in,” says Rabbi Vadim Blumin, the head of the Jewish Agency in the UK and Western Europe, which helped organise the fair. “I was surprised by the diversity. Normally we get empty nesters, people who are retiring and want to go somewhere warm and sunny [...] But we had so many young families, students, really people of all ages.”

What would make someone leave peaceful Britain to go and live in a war zone, in one of the most disputed and fought over places in the world?

It is, perhaps, a sign of just how unsafe some British Jews now feel. And the BBC’s airing of what the Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis described on Monday as “vile Jew-hatred” at Glastonbury festival, has done little to assuage their fears.

Debby Lee, 59, a television executive, was one of those who attended the aliyah event in north London last month. She was there, she explained, to “explore my options”.

“I’ve never had a longing to be in Israel but there is an irony in that, the more there is criticism of Israel, the more there is anti-Semitism, which means that we feel that maybe Israel is the only place for us,” she says.

“None of that fills me with joy, but I need to look at my options because things are very bad in this country, and have been since October 7 2023.

“I realised something had changed on October 8, when I went to see my dying mother who was in a Jewish hospice, to find police outside because there had been death threats. That was the first big shock, and things have got progressively worse.”

Until October 7, Lee says she felt part of the progressive movement, standing with friends over their various causes, but has had little support in return.

“Even when my friends and colleagues do want to show support, they don’t dare say anything publicly. They feel they can’t, and that’s where we are,” she says sadly. “My family has been here for 200 years. I love this country and am hugely patriotic. But I am not sure this country loves me any more.”

The numbers who have actually left the UK for Israel are small but growing according to statistics from The Jewish Agency and the Israeli Ministry of Aliyah and Integration. In 2023, 404 Jewish people from the UK emigrated to Israel. Last year, 660 went and, in the first five months of 2025, 250 have gone – a 12 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.

Another 980 households have gone through the aliyah process, which takes around four to six months, and involves proving Jewish heritage, providing documentation and attending an interview before being granted a visa.

October 2023
Tracy-Ann Oberman, starring in Merchant of Venice:1936, reveals that the touring production has had to hire extra security due to the surge of antisemitism post-7 October.

November 2023
At the Grierson Awards, held annually to celebrate British documentaries, a female guest makes antisemitic remarks to a number of Jewish TV industry figures present. The Grierson Trust subsequently apologises and announces a ten-year ban for the individual in question.

December 2023 – January 2024
Channel 4 receives significant backlash in response to its alternate Christmas message, which featuring Stephen Fry talking about the sharp rise in antisemitism. Fry receives significant abuse and condemnation. Former Channel 4 Commissioner Tamara Abood describes Fry’s speech as was “disingenuous” and demonstrated “where the power lies” in UK media. In January the chief executive of one of the UK’s diversity bodies is accused of liking some of Abood’s other statements on social media, including posting a video of anti-Zionist Jew Alexei Sayle claiming that other Jews were “bloviating” over the Gaza conflict and parroting the narrative of the “ruling class establishment, saying “Unlike the disingenuous… Fry version, this is a Christmas message I can get behind.”

February 2024
Comedian Paul Currie tells a Jewish man to leave his show at the Soho theatre after they did not stand and applaud him at the end of his show, due to his use of a Palestinian flag during his act. The theatre gave Currie a lifetime ban – the comic later attempted to sue the theatre. In August the comedian goes on to say that ‘Zionists’ shouldn’t attend his shows at the Edinburgh fringe festival.

The BBC initially declines to do anything about an Apprentice contestant, Asif Munaf, discovered to have posted highly offensive social media posts, including referencing “the Zionist antichrist”, claiming “the Zionist PR machine is slimy” and posting the question: “Have you ever met even a semi-average looking Zionist? Aren’t they all odiously ogre-like?” He labelled Zionism a “satanic cult”. Eventually, after weeks of significant Jewish communal outcry, the BBC cuts Munaf from You’re Fired, the spin-off to the Apprentice, before his episode airs.
Seth Mandel: Using the War as an Excuse to Torment Jewish Children
What happened next was just as important. The day after the cancellation of the Holocaust program, the school apparently raised the Palestinian flag among the other national flags already raised in the gym. The juxtaposition of the two events had a rancid effect on the students: “The Palestinian flag provoked more aggressive bullying and harassment. Classmates cited it as evidence that ‘everyone hates Jews,’ taunting her that ‘we won’ and that the flag was proof that ‘nobody likes you.’”

Teachers unions and other state-backed education institutions have been relentlessly pushing anti-Zionist propaganda on their students all over the country, and they do so by making a particular argument: Bringing the Israel-Hamas war into the classroom is good for the kids, because school officials know how to guide the conversation in healthy ways that educate but don’t inflame.

What is actually happening when you bring the conflict into elementary schools like Nysmith? The students call their Jewish classmates “baby killers” and tell them they “deserve to die.”

Now, this is either because school officials can’t be trusted to convey the nuances of the conflict in a way that educates without inflaming, or else it’s the result of school officials doing their absolute best to guide the children through the weeds and sand traps of this difficult issue.

Either way, the argument in favor of turning elementary schools into debating grounds for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict disintegrates upon first contact. This isn’t about education—at Nysmith or elsewhere. It’s about the weaponization of the pro-Hamas narrative to make Jewish children suffer. And it is very obviously happening all over America.
The Supreme Court Rejects a Maryland School Board’s Anti-Religious Agenda
Yesterday’s newsletter mentioned the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which the Supreme Court handed down an important ruling about parental and religious rights. The original suit was brought by Muslim, Catholic, and Orthodox Christian parents in Montgomery County who didn’t want their elementary-school children to be exposed to picture books that valorize gay marriage and child transsexualism. At first, they had been allowed to opt out of these parts of the curriculum, but the school board changed this policy in 2023. Asma Uddin explains the court’s ruling in favor of the parents:
Critically, the court didn’t say that merely exposing children to ideas contrary to their faith is unconstitutional. [Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel] Alito acknowledged that not every curriculum dispute triggers a free exercise claim. The key, he explained, is the combination of normative messaging and institutional reinforcement. . . . Ignoring procedural pluralism—by eliminating opt-outs and dismissing religious objections as mere bigotry—risks violating constitutional protections.

In fact, it’s hard not to look at the case and wonder why the school board decided to push the envelope so far. Timothy P. Carney has an answer:
The governing class of Montgomery County believes that it should undermine religious values because it believes that religion is bad. It believes it is the job of the public schools to replace the parents’ religious worldview and belief systems with their own secular, individualist worldview.

When Muslim parents and students petitioned the county government, seeking an opt-out, the liberal councilwoman Kristin Mink attacked their viewpoint as the position of “white supremacists and outright bigots.” (She later issued a non-apology.)

This is hardly the only evidence of anti-religious animus. [In 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic], Montgomery County was one of the only municipalities in America that tried to bar Jewish and Catholic schools from opening, and emails revealed the county officials’ disdain for these schools and the parents who send their children there.
Unilever cuts off millions in funding to Ben & Jerry’s charity over donations to pro-Palestinian groups: report
Unilever is reportedly cutting off millions of dollars in funding to the Ben & Jerry’s charitable foundation after it refused to provide audit documents about donations to pro-Palestinian groups, escalating an internal dispute between a corporate parent and its left-leaning subsidiary.

Peter ter Kulve, head of Unilever’s ice cream division, informed Ben & Jerry’s executives via email that the foundation’s trustees “have continued to resist basic oversight” and are not cooperating with requests from corporate auditors, according to the news site Semafor.

“It represents a marked departure from the norms of charitable organizations, for whom transparency is typically a bedrock operating principle,” ter Kulve wrote in the email, which was obtained by Semafor.

The audit process is part of Unilever’s ongoing effort to spin off its ice cream business, which includes the famously left-leaning Vermont-based brand.

The Ben & Jerry’s foundation distributed more than $5 million of Unilever’s funds in 2022, mostly to progressive organizations.
Family of suspect in antisemitic firebombing in Colorado can be deported, judge rules
The federal government can deport Mohamed Sabry Soliman’s wife and five children, as the 45-year-old faces 12 federal hate crime charges, including two for first-degree murder, for allegedly firebombing Jews in Boulder, Colo., last month as they marched in support of hostages in Gaza, a federal judge ruled.

Eight people were hospitalized due to the attack, and one died from her injuries.

“This is a proper end to an absurd legal effort on the plaintiff’s part,” stated Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

“Just like her terrorist husband, she and her children are here illegally and are rightfully in ICE custody for removal as a result,” McLaughlin stated. “This terrorist will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it.”

The district court ruling on Wednesday reversed a prior one from a district court blocking the government from deporting the defendant’s family, the New York Post reported.

Soliman arrived in the United States from Egypt in 2022. He overstayed his visa and was later granted a work permit during the Biden administration, according to the White House.
The twisted past of Idaho shooter Wess Roley, a rent-dodging Holocaust denier expelled from high school for terrorizing classmates
The Coeur D'Alene gunman who shot two firefighters dead last weekend complained about having 'problems' with authority and was booted from school in the 10th grade for making violent threats.

Wess Roley, 20, launched a deadly attack on first responders on Sunday after deliberately setting a bush fire at Idaho beauty spot Canfield Mountain to lure them in.

Now DailyMail.com can reveal that the baby-faced shooter had a troubled past that included bullying gender-fluid kids at his Arizona high school, making disturbing neo-Nazi comments and posting Holocaust-denying TikTok videos.

And after moving to Idaho in summer 2024 after a year living with his grandfather Dale, 66, in Vinita, Oklahoma, his life spun further out of control – with a former roommate telling DailyMail.com that he made threatening gang signs, had no friends and cheated him out of a month's rent when he was told to move out.

Roley had also fallen out with his father Jason, 39 – a heavily tattooed motorcycle enthusiast whose Facebook page carries several pictures of him in Hell’s Angel gear – who lives in remote Priest River, Idaho, with his second wife Sara, 35, and their two young children.

'When he first moved in with me, he was just real quiet,' TJ Franks, 28, told DailyMail.com in an interview at his modest apartment home in Sandpoint, Idaho, 60 miles north of Coeur d'Alene.

'He didn't really do a whole lot. He just kind of kept to himself and worked. But then, towards the end of his stay here, we started noticing changes in his behavior.

'He shaved all his hair off. He was keeping really late hours at night.'
Stephen Daisley: The IDF Is a Symbol of Jewish Self-Defense
The IDF is a conscript army made up mostly of Jews. It is not just Israel's army; it is the symbol and the substance of Jewish self-defense and Jewish sovereignty.

Without the IDF, there would be no Israel.

As the Passover Haggadah observes: "In every generation they rise up to destroy us."

The restoration of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel was about ensuring that future generations had a means of defending themselves.

More would come to destroy them, but this time they'd be prepared.

Strong Jews, sovereign Jews, Jews you can't push around. These concepts are now lived out every day in Israel.

Political anti-Zionism is a project to separate the Jewish people from the theory and practice of Jewish self-determination.

The Israeli army is all that stands between "death to the IDF" and "death to the Jews."
The ‘ecstatic adulation’ of chanting crowds was as much the problem as Bob Vylan, says Gove
The thousands of people in the audience who cheered and joined in as Bob Vylan called for the deaths of IDF soldiers is symptomatic of a wider problem facing Western society, Michael Gove has suggested.

The rap duo led thousands in a chant of “Death, death to the IDF” and went on a rant about “Zionists” in the music industry during their Glastonbury set on Saturday, which was streamed live on BBC iPlayer. They have since been dropped by their agent, had upcoming tours cancelled and their American visas revoked as a result. A criminal investigation is also underway into the performance.

Tim Davie, director general of the BBC, has since issued an apology to the Jewish community for not halting the live stream.

Speaking in front of 120 guests at Jewish Care’s 103rd Business Breakfast on Tuesday morning at Claridge’s, Gove, who became editor of The Spectator in October, said the more disturbing element of the whole incident was the “ecstatic” young crowd who joined in with the chant.

He said: “There has been condemnation and a legitimate debate about whether Kneecap and Bob Vylan should have been invited to play at Glastonbury. There is a current debate about whether as soon as Bob Vylan said what he said the BBC should have immediately let the speakers go dark.

“But for me, the broader question is why is it that Bob Vylan and Kneecap are playing in front of thousands of young people who responded with the ecstatic adulation that they did? I think it speaks to a broader problem in British and in Western society at the moment. Why has the militant expression of hatred metastasised in that way?”

Gove went on: “I think there are a variety of factors. They are nuanced and complex, but we need to analyse them effectively in order to counter them in the most powerful way.”
BBC apologises to Jewish community over Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury performance
The BBC has issued a formal apology to the Jewish community over its decision to broadcast a Glastonbury performance in which rapper Bob Vylan led crowds in a chant of “death to the IDF”, admitting that “errors were made” and promising urgent reforms to its live music protocols.

Director-General Tim Davie said he “deeply regrets” the incident and offered an unreserved apology “to our audience and to all of you, but in particular to Jewish colleagues and the Jewish community”. He added that “there can be no place for antisemitism at the BBC” and vowed to ensure the broadcaster becomes “a role model for inclusivity and tolerance”.

The controversial set, performed on the West Holts stage last Saturday, was streamed live and unedited on BBC iPlayer. It included chants widely condemned as antisemitic, such as “death, death, death to the IDF”, as well as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, inshallah” – a slogan seen by many as calling for the elimination of the State of Israel.

The rapper Bobby Vylan had launched into an incendiary rant at one stage about “Zionists”

In a lengthy statement released Wednesday, the BBC admitted it had failed in both its advance risk assessment and its live response. Bob Vylan was one of seven acts categorised as “high risk” by the BBC’s compliance team before the festival.

While it was agreed that risks could be mitigated in real time using warnings, the performance was allowed to proceed without a broadcast delay. Although on-screen warnings were issued twice during the set, the editorial team opted not to cut the livestream – a decision the corporation now concedes was “an error”.

Davie, who was present at Glastonbury on the day, instructed the team to ensure the set was removed from all future coverage. The performance is no longer available on iPlayer or BBC Sounds. However, the live feed showing subsequent acts remained visible until after 8pm while technical teams worked to implement a solution. Tim Davie, BBC’s Director-General

BBC Chair Samir Shah also apologised, saying: “We allowed the ‘artist’ Bob Vylan to express unconscionable antisemitic views live on the BBC. This was unquestionably an error of judgement.” He said the Board met on Tuesday to review the actions taken and expressed support for Davie and the executive team in pursuing accountability.


Bret Stephens: What "Globalize the Intifada" Really Means
I was a journalist living and working in Jerusalem when I got a taste of what the word "intifada" means in practice. I had just moved into the Rehavia neighborhood when in March 2002 my local coffee shop, Cafe Moment, was the target of a suicide bombing. My wife, whom I hadn't yet met, was due to be in the cafe when it blew up but had changed plans at the last minute. 11 people were murdered and 54 were wounded that night.

Two weeks later, I was at a Passover Seder when the news filtered in that there had been a bombing of a Seder at a hotel in Netanya. 30 civilians were murdered there, including three Auschwitz survivors, and 140 were injured. Two days later there was an attack on a Jerusalem supermarket. A security guard, a father of six, who stopped the bomber from coming into the store, and a high school senior were murdered. Life in Jerusalem was punctuated over the following months by suicide bombings that occurred with almost metronomic regularity.

There were many more atrocities in Israel over following years, but the intifada also was globalized. Jews were murdered in Seattle in 2006; in Mumbai, India, in 2008; in Paris in 2015; in Washington in May 2025; and in Boulder, Colorado, in June.

A major political candidate who refuses to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada" isn't participating in legitimate democratic debate; he is giving moral comfort to people who deliberately murder innocent Jews.


EBU decides not to vote on expelling Israel from Eurovision – for now
After a lengthy debate, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) decided not to vote on expelling Israel from the Eurovision Song Contest in its general assembly meeting at BBC headquarters in London on Thursday.

This means that, for the time being, Israel can continue to take part in the popular song contest. This decision is seen as a victory for Israel, since had a vote been held, Israel would most likely have been banned.

The Eurovision Fun website reported that the issue of Israeli participation has been tabled until the EBU meets again in the winter. The verdict will depend on the outcome of the war in Gaza, and whether it has ended yet, the site wrote.

The move to ban Israel was spearheaded by Iceland and Slovenia. Austria, Germany, and Switzerland were the only countries to publicly support Israel, according to Ynet. It also reported that, in a move that surprised many, the BBC requested that a vote be avoided and suggested that discussions continue, which was seen as a concession to Israel.

Ynet quoted the Icelandic newspaper, Visir, in which Iceland’s Foreign Minister, Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir, said in an interview, “As a private citizen, I find it strange and unnatural that Israel is allowed to participate in Eurovision, given the war crimes—and in fact ethnic cleansing—that have taken place in Gaza in recent weeks and months.”

Ayala Mizrahi, a lawyer, represented Israel on behalf of Kan, Israel’s public broadcaster. She addressed the assembly, saying that Israel considers its participation in the song contest very important, and stressing that Israel has been taking part in Eurovision for more than 50 years.

Israel has won Eurovision four times, in 1978, 1979, 1998, and 2018. This year, Israel’s contestant, Yuval Raphael, came in first in the popular vote and second overall, with the song, “New Day Will Rise,” which referenced the October 7 massacre, which Raphael survived by hiding under dead bodies in a bomb shelter for hours.
Seth Mandel: Columbia Cannot Be Trusted To Negotiate
As the Free Beacon reported yesterday, Shipman had a plan to achieve that “somehow.” The board could get rid of Shoshana Shendelman, a Jewish trustee who’d been outspoken against anti-Semitism on campus. Shipman told a fellow board member, “I just don’t think [Shendelman] should be on the board” and agreed with that board member’s characterization of Shendelman as “a mole.” Shipman declared herself “so, so tired” of Shendelman.

There was another recent piece of news about Columbia that isn’t about anti-Semitism but nonetheless cannot be ignored when considering the state of the institution. In 2022, Columbia managed to get the No. 2 spot on the US News & World Report college rankings. A mathematician at the school analyzed the data and found that the school had misled the publication. When the accurate data was factored in, Columbia dropped to No. 18. The following year, the school declined to participate in the rankings.

“Columbia did report false data over many years, and it reported false data about several things,” that mathematician told the New York Times on Tuesday.

The university has now settled a lawsuit brought by students claiming the inflated rankings amounted to tuition fraud.

Honest question: What is going on at Columbia? A series of interim presidents presiding over multiple lawsuit settlements while, in the case of the civil-rights violations, continuing to practice the proscribed behavior. Here was Shipman’s attempt at an apology for trying to purge the board of those supportive of Jewish rights: “The things I said in a moment of frustration and stress were wrong. They do not reflect how I feel. I have apologized directly to the person named in my texts, and I am apologizing now to you.”

Over the past year, none of the three Columbia presidents appeared to have strong backing among the faculty, and we know there was infighting within the board of trustees itself. The students, especially the pro-Hamas protest groups on campus, have quickly undermined any promise of lawfulness at Columbia.

It’s clear that an interim presidency of turn-taking officials is insufficient. Perhaps a deal will be possible once the university has a leader who doesn’t say one thing in public and another in private.

University of California entities, including student governments but not student-run groups, cannot boycott a “particular country,” Dr. Michael Drake, president of the public school system and an ophthalmologist, announced on Wednesday.

In a letter to public school system chancellors, Drake stated that under university policy, “financial and business decisions” are to be rooted in “sound business practices,” per a copy of the letter that the university system shared with JNS.

“This principle also applies to student governments, where university policy provides that ‘any financial and business activity under the control of student governments is operated in accordance with sound business practices and is consistent with legal policies and procedures,’” Drake wrote.

“Actions by university entities to implement boycotts of companies based on their association with a particular country would not align with these sound business practices,” he stated. The system president added that individuals and groups are allowed to express themselves in a way that university entities cannot.

“This letter reaffirms both: the rights of students, faculty and staff to express their views and the university’s obligation to ensure that its units do not engage in boycotts associated with a particular country,” he wrote.


Columbia Profs Struggle With Reading Comprehension, Suggest Jewish Board Member 'Leaked' Subpoenaed Texts
An anonymous group of Columbia University faculty members released a statement suggesting a Jewish member of the school’s board of trustees "leaked" acting president Claire Shipman’s private text messages to the Washington Free Beacon. In reality, Columbia itself provided the messages to a House committee, which released them in a letter, as a Free Beacon report on the texts noted.

The statement came from "a group of Columbia faculty and staff," according to "Rise Up, Columbia," a Substack page run by "members of the Columbia community intent on fighting back against attacks on our university." It says Shipman's texts were "recently leaked to the press" and calls the "timing" of the leak "suspicious."

"Who benefits from sending Shipman's messages to the right wing Free Beacon?" the faculty members ask before answering their own question: "Shoshana Shendelman," a Jewish member of Columbia's board who, according to the statement, "has recently come under pressure to resign" and is "desperate to repair her image."

Shendelman, one of the board's most outspoken critics of campus anti-Semitism, is a central figure in the texts. In one January 2024 message, Shipman suggested Shendelman should be removed from the board. Months later, in April 2024, Shipman wrote that she believed Shendelman to be "a mole" and a "fox in the henhouse" and told a colleague to keep her in the dark about the school's plans to negotiate with protesters. "I am tired of her," Shipman's colleague wrote in reference to Shendelman. "So so tired," Shipman replied.


Seattle Public Schools moves to fire teacher recorded defending Hamas rape and murder
Following an investigation, Seattle Public Schools says it’s terminating Ian Golash. In a July 1, 2025 statement to “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH, Seattle Public Schools said: “Seattle Public Schools has initiated the process to terminate Ian Golash’s employment. Golash has exercised their right to appeal the decision, and that process is now underway. They will remain on administrative leave until their appeal is finalized.”

Original article published April 16, 2024:
Ian Golash, the Seattle teacher notorious for his shocking defense of Hamas’ heinous acts against Israelis, is at it again. This time, he’s dragged students out of class — purportedly without parental consent — to be recorded as he spewed his antisemitic bile. Exclusive to The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH, we’ve learned Golash appears to have funneled taxpayer resources into asking students to shun pro-Israel businesses.

Golash, leading the Social Studies department and teaching Ethnic Studies World History to freshmen and sophomores, has drawn flak from parents and students alike for his antisemitic antics. Yet, Seattle Public Schools (SPS) and the school’s principal have turned a blind eye.

The plot thickened when The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH first exposed Golash’s troubling syllabus and social media defenses of Hamas. It motivated Adam Guillette of Accuracy in Media (AIM) to confront him. Armed with a camera crew and a mobile billboard denouncing Golash’s antisemitism, AIM recorded the entire showdown. Guillette never anticipated Golash would parade his students into this media melee, especially without the legally required parental permission for filming under SPS supervision.

AIM provided the raw footage to The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.

Did Seattle teacher Ian Golash defend Hamas rape, murder and kidnapping? Yes.

The confrontation was centered around Golash’s previous support of Hamas using sexual violence, murder, and kidnapping as an acceptable form of “resistance.”




Untenable? A Top 10 of Anti-Israel Controversies Under the BBC Director General’s Leadership
Yet again the BBC has come under increased scrutiny in the fallout over alternative hip-hop duo Bob Vylan‘s incendiary performance at the Glastonbury Festival. Despite chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF,” the UK’s national broadcaster continued airing the live feed and kept the recording on its VOD service for several hours.

That Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, was physically present at Glastonbury on the day has only added to the pressure he is facing. But this controversy is only the latest in a string of embarrassing Israel-related scandals to plague the BBC since Davie’s 2020 appointment.

As the UK culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, recently stated in the House of Commons, “When you have one editorial failure, it’s something that must be gripped. When you have several, it becomes a problem of leadership.”

As many question whether Tim Davie’s head should roll, here’s a reminder (in no particular order) of some of the most egregious examples of Israel-related controversies that have marred the BBC’s image during his tenure:

1. The BBC Refuses to Refer to Hamas as “Terrorists”
Since 2021, the UK has designated the entirety of Hamas as a terrorist organization, widening its 2001 terror designation of the Palestinian group’s “military wing.”

Despite this official designation by the UK, its taxpayer-funded broadcaster refuses to refer to Hamas and its members as “terrorists,” preferring the more neutral and legitimizing term, “militant.”

In an attempt to justify this policy, the BBC’s World Affairs editor John Simpson explained that it doesn’t refer to Hamas as “terrorists” in order to maintain an objective tone and does not tell people “who to support and who to condemn.”

However, as HonestReporting discovered, the BBC has no qualms about using that term when referring to Al-Qaeda, ISIS, or other international terror organizations.

It seems that for the BBC under Tim Davie’s leadership, you’re a “terrorist” if you attack American or British targets but only a “militant” if you target Israelis.

2. Gaza Documentary Pulled for “Serious Flaws”
In February 2025, the BBC was forced to apologize for “serious flaws” in a documentary that it had commissioned on the lives of Gazan children during the Israel-Hamas war.

Titled “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone,” the documentary was pulled from the British broadcaster’s streaming platform after investigative journalist David Collier revealed that the film’s teen narrator was the son of a Hamas minister and that his mother had been paid by the production company.

It was also discovered that there were several instances of mistranslation in a bid to sanitize the interviewee’s language. This included translating the Arabic word for “Jews” as “Israelis” or “Israeli forces” and translating “Jihad” as “battle” or “resistance.”

3. Parroting Hamas on Al-Ahli Hospital Blast
On October 17, 2023, the BBC fell for Hamas propaganda when it uncritically parroted the terror group’s claim that an Israeli airstrike had killed 500 people at Al-Ahli Hospital.

Hours later, it was determined by Israeli and American intelligence that it was a parking lot that had been hit and not the hospital building itself, that far fewer than 500 people had been killed, and that the blast was caused by an errant Islamic Jihad rocket and not an Israeli strike.

While the BBC was not the only mainstream media organization to willingly spread Hamas’ falsehoods without a second thought, the broadcaster’s correspondent Jon Donnison was so certain in the veracity of Hamas’ propaganda, that he took it even one step further, authoritatively declaring for his international audience that it was “hard to see what else this could be really given the size of the explosion other than an Israel airstrike or several airstrikes because when we’ve seen rockets fired out of Gaza, we never see explosions of that scale.”
BBC JOURNALISTS PROMOTE ANONYMOUS UNVERIFIED CLAIMS FROM HA’ARETZ
As we see, these BBC reporters are perfectly happy to uncritically quote and promote entirely unverified figures provided by a terrorist organisation with a vested interest in the failure of the GHF aid distribution scheme, along with the claim that all deaths at its aid distribution sites are attributable to Israeli forces. The same BBC staffers are also at ease with promoting a highly problematic translation of a newspaper article that is based entirely on anonymous sources making unverified claims of deliberate targeting, despite their having not read the article in its original form.

Those low journalistic standards will however come as no surprise to anyone who has been following the BBC’s chosen framing of this story since its outset.


Reuters, AP, NYT Photos of Gaza Hospital Leave Hamas Out of the Frame
At the outset of the Israel-Hamas war, Gaza photojournalists working for international media operated near Hamas terrorists in Shifa Hospital but excluded them from their photos, according to a visual analysis by HonestReporting.

The analysis, which reveals an alarming photo bias, focused on one day of coverage — October 11, 2023 — and showed that tens of Hamas terrorists were present at the hospital, where they kept a watchful eye over the media and managed the arrival of wounded into the emergency room.

The terrorists were clearly seen in wire service videos and social media posts from that day. But they don’t appear in the still photos distributed by Reuters, AP, or The New York Times, whose photojournalists at the site chose to leave the terrorists out of the frame and include only the wounded and dead.

Videos Vs. Photos
The analysis compared photos and videos taken on the same day and location by wire service photojournalists in Gaza. That’s because a picture may be worth a thousand words, but one can only see what’s inside the frame.

Videos, however, are dynamic. Video cameras can tilt and pan and reveal what’s outside the frame of a frozen still photo. It’s also harder to edit people out of videos.

Therefore, after we came across this Facebook reel from photojournalist Mariam Dagga (who currently works for AP), we decided to compare photos and videos of Shifa hospital that were published by the mainstream media. That’s because the reel shows the hospital entrance was infested with Hamas forces (circled in red on the video), while dozens of journalists stood by:

We found another angle of this video in a TRT X post, which clarified it had been taken on October 11, 2023 — several days after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 people in Israel and abducted hundreds into Gaza — some of them straight into the Shifa hospital, where the terror group had an underground tunnel infrastructure. (See our Interactive Hamas tunnel map for more information.)

Then, a search on the Reuters and AP platforms revealed that the two wire agencies had sent video and stills crews to the hospital that day.

But while the videographers couldn’t avoid showing Hamas operatives both inside and outside the hospital, the still photographers only took tight images of blood-stained victims.


What Really Happened at Gaza’s Al-Baqa Cafe?
On June 30, the IDF carried out a targeted strike in Gaza City.

As is now routine, Palestinians on the ground quickly supplied a detailed death toll — more than 30 killed and dozens more injured, along with other vivid embellishments. Media outlets around the world eagerly picked up the story. Once again, tales of an alleged Israeli assault on innocent civilians made headlines before a single detail could be verified.

Here’s a sample of how the media reported the incident:
The New York Times cited Al-Shifa Hospital director Mohammad Abu Salmiya, reporting that “more than 30 people had been killed” at the seaside cafe. The article later quoted a Hamas statement claiming Israel had “targeted innocent civilians gathered at a rest stop on the Gaza City beach.” No scrutiny of either source was offered.

The Guardian went a step further, suggesting the strike may have been a war crime. It cited unnamed “experts” who claimed the IDF used a 500lb bomb, supposedly based on “fragments” found at the scene.

ABC News’ (Australia) framing implied journalists were the intended targets, describing the cafe as a spot “frequented by journalists, media workers, activists and students.” The reported death toll, again, came from Gaza’s “civil defense agency,” i.e. Hamas.

NPR blurred the lines between separate incidents, running the headline: “74 killed in Gaza as Israeli forces strike a cafe and fire on people seeking food.”

CNN quoted “hospital officials” who claimed “dozens” were killed, while also noting that the cafe was popular with journalists and “remote workers” in Gaza.

We’re not going to dissect every example of hearsay, exaggeration, or recycled talking points in these articles. What matters is that they were all based on sources under Hamas control, and they all omitted critical details.

So let’s try and piece this puzzle together.

The IDF confirmed it had targeted the Al-Baqa cafe, a venue located on Gaza City’s seafront promenade. According to the Israeli military, the strike was aimed at Hamas operatives in northern Gaza. The IDF is currently awaiting confirmation that a senior Hamas figure was among those eliminated.

As with all operations where civilians could be harmed, the IDF would have conducted a legal and ethical assessment prior to the strike. The munition used was a precision-guided bomb, a standard bomb equipped with a JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) kit, which converts “dumb” bombs into highly accurate ones. As former Israeli diplomat and Jerusalem Center fellow Lenny Ben-David noted, this directly contradicts The Guardian’s suggestion that use of a 500lb bomb may constitute a war crime. On the contrary, precision strikes are exactly what international law demands.

The source of the death toll was not even the Hamas-run health ministry, but Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya. He is the hospital director previously detained by Israel after the IDF exposed and documented a Hamas command center beneath Al-Shifa Hospital. Abu Salmiya has since alleged he was tortured while in custody, including claims of daily beatings and dog attacks. He has offered no evidence for any of these allegations, many of which border on the farcical.

Several media outlets also emphasized that Al-Baqa was popular with journalists. Many cited Gazan journalist Bayan Abu Sultan, who was reportedly injured in the strike. Multiple outlets published images of her appearing bloodied. Yet video footage taken shortly afterward shows Bayan, in the same clothes, laughing and smiling. The footage raises serious questions about both the timeline of the alleged injuries and the media’s failure to verify dramatic visuals before publication.


Normalization with Syria and the Downside for Israel of American Intervention
According to recent reports, Syria and Israel are in talks over some sort of security agreement, although it may fall short of full normalization. The U.S. dropped most of its sanctions on the country on Monday, in what might be a related gesture of good will. And Israel recently demonstrated its utility to Damascus by arresting several Iranian agents in southern Syria and confiscating their arms.

Robert Silverman offers some reflections:
[W]hat’s needed are some confidence-building interim steps between Syria and Israel that might eventually lead to a full normalization agreement. For generations the government-controlled media in Syria have inundated its public with hatred of Israel. The new government—if indeed it is interested in moving forward with Israel—would be wise to take interim steps to prepare its public for a major change towards its neighbor, “the Zionist entity.”

Silverman addresses some other issues as well, including the U.S. intervention in the twelve-day war:
Israelis are naturally very happy with the decision of President Trump to call in the B-2 bombers to end the Iran campaign. Yet, an unhappy aspect of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s legacy is a level of dependence on the United States that would have alarmed his great predecessors David Ben-Gurion and Menachem Begin. One question I had . . . is why Israel itself doesn’t have heavy bombers, only fighter-bombers. The “massive ordinance penetrator” bomb that only a heavy bomber like the B-2 can deliver is surely within Israel’s technical competence.

In other words, getting this sort of American help has drawbacks for Israel, which has always prided itself on fighting its wars on its own.
Spies and Scapegoats: Inside Iran's Sweeping Crackdown after War with Israel
Following nearly two weeks of Israeli and American airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites, Tehran's leadership has launched what former officials and observers describe as its most aggressive domestic security crackdown in years. Since mid-June, authorities have detained at least two dozen people in Tehran alone, accused of spying for the Mossad or assisting Israeli strikes, while claiming to have disrupted deep espionage networks.

Iran's judiciary chief has ordered expedited trials and executions for alleged collaborators, invoking sweeping charges such as "enmity against God" and "corruption on earth." At least six executions have already taken place. According to observers, the campaign is a reflection of the deepening alarm in Tehran over what it calls "deep Israeli intelligence penetration."

Across Iran, eyewitnesses describe frequent raids, mass arrests, and a visible spike in police and Revolutionary Guard patrols. In Qom, journalist Naeem Afdal Zadeh said, "The presence of checkpoints is unprecedented....The atmosphere of constant surveillance and interrogation has intruded into daily life, generating tension."

A senior Iranian official disclosed that Moscow recently alerted Tehran to the case of a senior Defense Ministry figure suspected of collaborating with the Mossad. The man was swiftly arrested and executed, triggering panic among Iran's security elite. As of the end of June, official reports indicate that over 700 individuals have been detained on suspicion of espionage or collaboration with foreign intelligence agencies.

University of Tehran student Ali Khorshidi said, "We've never seen this level of security presence before. At the university, people whisper but no longer speak. There are sudden disappearances. Families are terrified of false espionage charges." What once felt like patriotic solidarity at the start of the war has given way to fear of the state itself. The charge of "spying for Israel," he said, has become a tool for silencing dissent and settling political scores.
Iran looking to scapegoat Azerbaijan over war with Israel
Iran’s recent allegations that Azerbaijan let Israel use its airspace in Jerusalem’s war against the Islamic Republic are a spurious attempt to save face following the Islamic Regime’s abject military failure, an Azerbaijani analyst said on Wednesday.

The remarks come at a time of tense relations between Baku and both Tehran and Russia due to overlapping geopolitical interests, while the burgeoning ties between the Jewish state and the predominantly Shi’ite Muslim country continue to flourish despite the regional turmoil.

“Iran is trying to scapegoat someone else for their complete military failure with these false accusations against Azerbaijan,” Farid Shafiyev, chairman of Baku’s Center of Analysis of International Relations, told JNS.

He noted that Azerbaijan’s tensions with Iran, which began five years ago and then escalated anew during the 12-day Israel-Iran war, were being fueled by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. However, he also pointed to possible Iranian efforts to calm the situation.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who visited Baku in May to mitigate strained ties, is expected to attend a central Asian economic conference in Azerbaijan on Thursday along with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and other regional leaders.

“The fact that he is coming despite the whole situation reflects a desire to defuse and overcome the crisis,” said Shafiyev.


'Mossad' X account says hundreds of IRGC members fed up with regime have reached out for help
An account claiming to be the Mossad's official Farsi platform has reported that several IRGC soldiers are reaching out to the agency.

"We expected this, but not to this extent! Hundreds of Revolutionary Guards soldiers and officers, fed up with the regime, are reaching out to us. We promise to get in touch with you - please be patient," the account wrote in Farsi in a post on X/Twitter.

Israeli officials have not commented on the ownership of the @MossadSpokesman Farsi feed, and it is not listed among Israel’s verified government or military social-media channels.

It seems that the account serves as a psychological operations platform that mixes genuine leaks with trolling to unsettle Tehran’s leadership and engage ordinary Iranians.

Mossad trolls IRGC senior officials
On Sunday, the Mossad posted that it was aware that three senior Iranian military commanders were closely monitoring its account. The Mossad said that “the respected gentlemen Pakpour, Mousavi, and Araghchi are among our most loyal viewers," and said that it was following them back.

The Israeli intelligence agency then warned Iranian citizens not to interact with the account. “You may keep watching our content, but for your own safety, please avoid following the page or reacting to our posts.”


Treasury sanctions Hezbollah financiers, Iranian oil ‘shadow fleet’
The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against seven senior Hezbollah officials, who it said have helped the terror organization evade sanctions in their roles at the financial institution Al-Qard Al-Hassan, and a company that one of them owns.

It also sanctioned one person and 21 companies and ships that it said are part of a “shadow fleet” that has “collectively transported and purchased billions of dollars’ worth of Iranian oil, some of which has benefited Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force, a designated foreign terrorist organization,” the department said on Wednesday.

“As President Trump has made clear, Iran’s behavior has left it decimated. While it has had every opportunity to choose peace, its leaders have chosen extremism,” stated Scott Bessent, the U.S. treasury secretary. “Treasury will continue to target Tehran’s revenue sources and intensify economic pressure to disrupt the regime’s access to the financial resources that fuel its destabilizing activities.”

Michael Faulkender, the deputy U.S. treasury secretary, stated that “through their roles at Al-Qard Al-Hassan, these officials sought to obfuscate Hezbollah’s interest in seemingly legitimate transactions at Lebanese financial institutions, exposing these banks to significant anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism risk while allowing Hezbollah to funnel money for its own benefit.” (Washington designated AQAH in 2007.)

“As Hezboallah seeks money to rebuild its operations, Treasury remains strongly committed to dismantling the group’s financial infrastructure and limiting its ability to reconstitute itself,” Faulkender said.

“Today’s action underscores Treasury’s commitment to disrupting Hezbollah’s sanctions evasion schemes and supporting efforts by the new Lebanese government to limit the terrorist group’s influence, particularly as entities like AQAH continue to undermine the already fragile Lebanese economy,” the department said of the terror group’s financers.


The Iranian plot to blackmail journalists Tehran holds their families hostage
Omid Khalili is one of the most famous people in Iran. The presenter of a daily TV show broadcast from London, he has an audience of over 30 million, giving voice to millions of Iranians exhausted by the Islamic Republic. Now, though, Khalili is desperate — for his wife, parents, sister and niece, who like him, are all UK citizens, and who are currently being held hostage by the country’s brutal theocratic regime.

The presenter has not heard from his mother, Mahin, since the start of June’s 12-day war with Israel. He suspects she is being detained. What is certain is that Iranian officials have told Khalili that if he ever wants to see his wife Mahsa again, he must return to the land of his birth. For a high-profile opposition broadcaster like him, that is effectively a death sentence, or anyway guarantees a lengthy spell in jail.

Khalili is not alone. Our investigation shows his struggle is part of a wider campaign of intimidation against Iranian journalists working in Britain, one that has reached unprecedented levels since last month’s conflict. Alongside Khalili’s colleagues at Manoto, the satellite channel where he works, Iran’s targets include presenters and reporters at both BBC Persian and the UK-based news channel Iran International.

With its leadership in shambles and its nuclear weapons programme derailed, the Iranian regime is clearly in trouble. That makes controlling the media narrative more urgent than ever, especially as channels like Manoto have become a popular focus for dissident views. It all speaks to a government willing to do anything to survive — even as its opponents remain uncowed despite the personal costs.

Omid Khalili has lived in Britain since 1999, when he was 16, and has been a host at Manoto since it launched 14 years ago. The channel dovetails current affairs with culture and entertainment, and is clearly popular, boasting perhaps 40 million regular viewers worldwide, 34 million of them inside Iran. The channel’s Instagram alone has been viewed some two billion times.

Khalili himself is most famous for Omid/A.M, an extended phone-in that provides a unique platform for Iranians to describe the hardships of life in the Islamic Republic. Drawing callers from across society — from rural poverty to swish north Tehran — viewers risk their safety every time they call in.
France says decision on Iran sanctions hinges on release of imprisoned two nationals
France said on Thursday it would decide whether to reimpose sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program depending on whether Tehran released two French detainees charged with spying for Israel.

“Freeing Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris is an absolute priority for us,” France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said.

“We have always told our interlocutors from the Iranian regime that any decisions on sanctions will be conditional on resolving this issue.”

Iran officially suspended its cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog on Wednesday.

The move came after a 12-day conflict last month between Iran and Israel, which saw unprecedented Israeli and US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and sharply escalated tensions between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The United States and other Western countries, along with Israel, accuse Iran, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, of seeking a nuclear weapon.


Senior Fox News Digital Editor Compares Trump and Musk to Nazis, Posts "Death to the IDF"
When people talk about antisemitism in the American media, names like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the AP usually come up first — and for good reason. But one outlet has largely escaped that scrutiny: Fox News.

Fox has, in many ways, been a light in the darkness — pushing back against much of the mainstream media’s anti-Israel bias and actually promoting the truth. I’m genuinely grateful for that, and I know countless other Jews around the world are too.

But since October 7th — when Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis and took 251 more hostage — I’ve made it one of my primary goals to expose every single journalist, editor, and producer in the mainstream media who holds virulently antisemitic views. That includes terrorists in Gaza masquerading as “media professionals” and journalists at The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, and more.

But for the first time this week, I was faced with a dilemma: whether to call out someone at an outlet I deeply admire.

In the end, the choice was easy.

Let me introduce you to Ian Jopson, a 17-year veteran of Fox News Digital.

Ian just got a big promotion.

According to Fox News Digital insiders, Ian’s first day as the Senior Editor of Homepage Visuals was July 01, 2025. The insiders say that he’s around three rungs below President & Editor-in-Chief Porter Berry in the outlet’s chain of command.

On his public Facebook and Instagram accounts, Ian has posted fanatical — and in some cases antisemitic — content that has no place at Fox News. I’m talking posts about Israel (which he refers to as “Isnotreal”), the so-called “rabid Zio lobby,” and reels calling for “death to the Israel Defense Forces.”
Thompson promotes Holocaust distortion - his lies unchallenged
Probably the most important legacy emphasized by the doyen of Holocaust historians, Prof. Yehuda Bauer, before his recent passing, was his urgent warning about the dangers of Holocaust distortion, which he considered was far more harmful even than Holocaust denial.

Probably the most convincing proof of the dangers of Holocaust distortion will be on full display in the Hippodrome in the Croatian capital of Zagreb this coming Saturday, to the largest audience ever assembled for a rock concert (which will therefore be inscribed in the Guinness Book of Records) to attend a live performance by Croatian heartthrob Marko Perković, otherwise known as "Thompson." Half a million fans are expected to attend.

Perković is a fanatic Croatian nationalist who is a great admirer of the Ustasha (ustaša), the notorious terrorist movement, which during World War II, ruled the "Independent State of Croatia” (NDH), and which launched three genocidal campaigns, against Serbs, Jews, and Roma, and murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent victims in the most cruel, manual ways imaginable, which even shocked their Nazi patrons (Edmund Glaise-Horstenau, the German military attaché in Zagreb, harshly criticized the cruel Ustasha atrocities, warning that they would provoke an uprising of the local Serbian population).

Concerts banned in Europe
His concerts have been banned in European countries such as the Netherlands and Switzerland. Some of the fans who come to his concerts share his views and dress appropriately with caps of Ustasha military units, t-shirts worn by the Black Legion, the most notorious Ustasha unit, which committed horrific genocide crimes throughout the NDH, and mainly fought against Yugoslav partisans. Some of his songs are dedicated to the tragic war events of the 1990s, full of nationalistic connotations.

Thompson begins his most famous song, Battle of the Čavoglave, with the Ustasha salute Za dom spremni, which is analogous to the Nazi Sieg Heil. At his concerts, part of the enthusiastic audience loudly sings the song Jasenovac and Gradiška Stara, which glorifies the death camps of the NDH, as well as its protagonists Vjekoslav - Maks Luburić and his "butchers", Jure Francetić, then the leader of the Independent State of Croatia himself, Ante Pavelić, and the Black Legion.

The bloody wars with the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s further implied the consciousness of the masses about the recent past, increasingly leaving room for historical revisionism. Thompson was one of the most recognizable singers, promoters of the war effort. His songs are an indispensable part of the celebrations of many of the successes of Croatian sports teams.

Given the fact that Croatia is currently in good standing with the European Union, as well as the Schengen and Eurozone, and has even recently been the President of IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance), one would imagine that the government would find a way to forbid Thompson from glorifying local mass murderers.
Toyota confirms departure of antisemitic employee after abuse of BBC journalist exposed
The senior designer who directed antisemitic abuse at BBC journalist Raffi Berg is no longer employed at Toyota’s mobility subsidiary, following an internal investigation.

Woven by Toyota confirmed the departure this week, saying the individual had “separated” from the company after a review found a “clear violation of company policy”. It declined to say whether the employee was dismissed or left voluntarily.

Piotr Klarowski, a senior product designer at the company’s UK division, was previously identified by Jewish News as the owner of multiple now-deleted X accounts that targeted Berg, the BBC’s Middle East Editor, with antisemitic slurs.

Posts referred to Berg as a “filthy Zionist Jew”, “little rat”, and “supporter of genocide”, and accused him of spreading “state propaganda”. In one message, Klarowski appeared to ask whether Berg had “finally been sacked”, while others described Israeli Jews as “subhuman creatures”.

In a statement to Jewish News, Woven by Toyota said: “The owner of the accounts containing social media posts that were hateful, potentially threatening, and in clear violation of company policy, is no longer employed at Woven by Toyota, following the company’s thorough investigation and review.

“Woven by Toyota is built on a culture of respect, and there is no place in our company for this behaviour, whether it occurs on the job or off. The company sincerely regrets any concern caused by this individual’s improper conduct.”

Klarowski, who previously worked in design roles at ITV and Samsung, deleted his X accounts around the time Jewish News began investigating the posts. He could not be reached for comment.
Jewish therapists fired from Texas clinic for pushing to help client with trauma from antisemitism: lawsuit
Two Jewish therapists say they were “wrongfully” fired from a Dallas mental health clinic after a colleague asked them for help with treating a client facing trauma from rising antisemitism, according to a lawsuit.

D2 Counseling co-owner Dr. Dina Hijazi allegedly “blocked” Jewish therapists Yocheved Junger and Jacqueline Katz from sharing insights with a colleague who asked for their advice in treating a Jewish client who was struggling after facing discrimination, the therapists alleged in a case filed by The Lawfare Project.

Hijazi said that Junger and Katz’s advice would be unhelpful and “one-sided” and shut down the conversation during the Nov. 19 staff meeting, according to the lawsuit.

Less than a week later, the Jewish therapists were notified of their firing, the documents allege.

“Before we could even say anything, ask the questions, talk about it like any other case consult, Dina Hijazi jumped in and she just goes, ‘oh, that’s not a good idea. You’ll get a one-sided response,’ ” Junger, who had been with B2 for more than two years, told The Post.

“I was really taken aback and just appalled,” she added.

The entire situation spun Katz into a “panic” for days, she said.

“I couldn’t believe what was unfolding,” said Katz.

Before the therapists were let go, Hijazi sent an email to staff banning discussions involving the “Palestine Israel topic,” which she said caused her “great pain,” according to the lawsuit.

But Junger and Katz said their colleague didn’t ask anything about “Palestine, Palestinians, or Israel.”

Junger asserted that the coworker was merely “doing her due diligence to understand what her client is experiencing and asking her colleagues who have first-hand knowledge to help her out,” according to the lawsuit.

“How can we service our clients if we are not allowed to talk about their experiences?” she questioned.

Hijazi allegedly doubled down on the ban against sharing “political or religious opinions” with colleagues, according to the lawsuit.
How Gustav Mahler's Niece Saved 45 Women in Auschwitz
When Alma Rose was taken into a barracks at the Auschwitz concentration camp known for brutal medical experiments, she thought she was about to die on the operating table.

In what she thought would be a final request, Rose - an Austrian virtuoso violinist and niece of the composer Gustav Mahler - asked for a violin and played.

That performance impressed Maria Mandl, a senior SS guard, who appointed Rose as conductor of her pet project, the women's orchestra of Auschwitz II-Birkenau, which ultimately spared up to 45 other women from certain death.

The orchestra was forced to play as prisoners marched to forced labor and to entertain Nazi officers.

Anne Sebba, who tells the musicians' stories in her book The Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz, said: "By tripling the size of the orchestra she saved as many young Jewish girls as she could because she knew that the Jewish girls would go straight to the gas."

Orchestra members, exempt from hard labor, were housed together and had a greater chance of survival if they fell ill.
Actions, not words: The three European countries that came to Israel's aid after Oct. 7
A senior Israeli defense official confided to me this week that, while Jerusalem enjoyed a brief wave of diplomatic sympathy when Hamas launched its attacks in October 2023, that solidarity did not translate into hard support on the battlefield.

With the lone exception of the United States, every Western ally, Germany and Italy among them, refused to sell Israel ammunition or other critical material. Ultimately, only three unexpected partners filled the gap: Hungary, Serbia, and the Czech Republic.

“Israel’s greatest allies imposed an arms embargo on Israel,” the official said, his frustration only partly concealed. “Apart from the Americans, no one would supply us with equipment for offensive operations, or even sell us the parts to produce it ourselves, except Hungary, Serbia, and the Czech Republic.”

That verdict has sharpened a long-running debate inside the Defense Ministry: Israel, the official argued, must double down on its own defense-industrial base so that future wars are not fought with ammunition that hinges on foreign political whims.

Serbia: The main lifeline
Nowhere was the policy gulf clearer than in Belgrade. Serbia’s state exporter, Yugoimport SDPR, dramatically expanded deliveries after October 2023. Balkan media tracked a flurry of cargo flights linking Serbian airfields and Israeli bases: in July 2024 alone, roughly €7.3 million in weapons and ammunition departed for Israel. By year’s end, that figure climbed to about €23.1 million, and Serbian officials ultimately tallied €42.3 million in 2024 exports, up from just €1.4 million the previous year.

Most of those shipments were 155 mm artillery shells, the workhorses of modern land warfare. Photographs showed rows of green-painted pallets pushed into the bellies of Israeli transport aircraft, watched over by air force crews in both countries. Serbia’s president, Aleksandar Vučić, even acknowledged the surge, telling local reporters that Belgrade had “accelerated deliveries” to help Israel replenish dwindling stocks.

I spoke about those figures with The Jerusalem Post’s news editor, Alex Winston, who had just returned from Belgrade. When Winston pressed Vučić on the criticism he faced in the European Union for arming Israel, the Serbian leader was blunt: “I am the only one in Europe today dealing in military munitions with Israel, and that is why I am often criticized by colleagues.”

Investigative outlets have indeed tried to turn up the heat. Serbian watchdog KRIK joined Germany’s Bild in alleging irregularities in the deals, though none of the claims have been proved. Vučić, meanwhile, shifted course again this summer: by June 2025, he promised to halt further ammunition transfers and redirect remaining stockpiles to the Serbian army.
Israel to open embassy in Estonia
Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced on Wednesday that Jerusalem plans to open its first embassy in Estonia’s capital, Tallinn. The announcement came as he completed a three-day tour of the Baltic states.

His remarks followed meetings with Estonia’s prime minister, Kristen Michal, and Foreign Minister, Margus Tsahkna, during which Sa’ar praised the Baltic state for its digital innovation, particularly in E-Governance and its commitment to democracy.

“This reflects our ongoing will to strengthen our relations,” Sa’ar told his hosts.

“This important move will contribute to our economic and defense partnership. It will help us deal with shared challenges,” the foreign minister added. It was a subtle acknowledgment of both countries’ proximity to wannabe regional hegemons; Russia concerning Estonia and Iran in Israel’s case.

While Estonia has been a NATO member since 2004, Russia’s brutal 2022 invasion of Ukraine has also caused alarm in northern European countries, including in Scandinavia as well as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the Baltic.

Sa’ar also provided a progress report on Israel’s regional wars against Iran, as well as its proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.

“Israel’s operation against the Iranian regime—and other actions we took in this war—contribute directly and significantly also to European security,” said the foreign minister.

“Iran’s nuclear program was a huge threat to the international community. Along with the U.S., we sent it back many years. Iran’s ballistic missiles program threatened Europe too. We severely damaged it. And we harmed the Iranian drone supply. The very same technology used by Russia against Ukraine,” he added.
Israeli scientist rescues vital samples after missile strike – publishes cancer breakthrough days later
When an Iranian ballistic missile tore through the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Professor Liran Shlush feared everything he had worked towards for the past five years had been obliterated.

His team’s lab, one of around 45 affected in the 15 June attack, was based in a building that was “badly damaged, but not destroyed,” he said. The other half, he added, was “completely destroyed”.

“We lost around one quarter of what I define as irreplaceable,” Shlush told Jewish News. “But the rest – we were able to rescue.”

His voice was calm, but the reality was anything but. “We came very early after the missile – about an hour later – and saved everything we could,” he said. “Some of the freezers were buried under the ruin, so we couldn’t reach those. But the rest – the samples from patients we’d collected, that were frozen – we managed to recover.”

Among them were vials of material intended for a large-scale, international clinical trial – part of the next phase of a study that may now help revolutionise blood cancer diagnosis.

Just one week after the strike, Nature Medicine published the results of that research: a study showing that rare stem cells which occasionally migrate from bone marrow into the bloodstream can be used to detect myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a condition that can progress into acute leukaemia.

Crucially, the test – developed in collaboration with Prof. Amos Tanay and a wider team – could eliminate the need for painful bone marrow biopsies, offering instead a simple blood test with potentially global diagnostic value.
Scientists develop model to understand rare brain disease found in 40 kids worldwide
Though he can’t walk, talk or eat by himself, Adam Banet, 9, has a big smile.

When he was three months old, his parents, Eden and Gilad Banet, took their firstborn son for a regular check-up and were told he had developmental delays. When he was eight months old, they discovered through genetic testing that Adam has a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the GRIN2D gene, a protein crucial for brain function.

There are only 40 children around the world who have been identified with this non-hereditary mutation, which causes developmental epilepsy, significant motor and cognitive delays, and in some cases, premature death.

In a race to help Adam, the family turned to Tel Aviv University scientists, who now say that after six years of research, they have developed a mouse model that mimics the disease’s characteristics, enabling them to test a variety of drugs and genetic therapies, and offering hope to the affected children and their families.

“This mutation is rare, but it’s in a protein that’s very important for brain function,” lead researcher Prof. Moran Rubinstein of the Sagol School of Neuroscience told The Times of Israel in a recent phone interview. “Our research is a gateway to understanding how this protein works in normal brain function and what happens when it malfunctions.”

The study, co-led by Prof. Karen Avraham, dean of the university’s Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, students, and researchers from Columbia University, was recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Brain.
Miss Indonesia removes contestant over support for Israel
Miss Indonesia 2025 contestant Merince Kogoya was disqualified after a two-year-old video showing her expressing her Christian faith by supporting Israel resurfaced on Instagram, she revealed on Monday.

The May 2023 video showed Kogoya participating in a pro-Israel rally, waving the flag of the Jewish state and dancing. The caption, translated online, read: “Diligent for Zion, loyal to Jerusalem, standing for Israel.”

Kogoya, an indigenous Papuan who represented Indonesia’s Highland Papua province, was removed from the pageant during the quarantine phase after the video footage went viral on social media last week.

The Miss Indonesia Organisation did not comment on the controversy and quietly removed her from the pageant, replacing her with Karmen Anastasya, the province’s runner-up, The Jakarta Globe reported.

In a statement posted to her Instagram story on Monday, Miss Highland Papua defended herself, saying the video, recorded before the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks, was not political but rather expressed her faith.

“I was simply practicing my faith as a follower of Christ by praying and offering blessings, but an old video from my reels went viral with many false interpretations about my beliefs,” wrote Kogoya.

Meet The Babka King: How an African American Foodie became an Unlikely Jewish Advocate
In a world fractured by division, one man stands tall, wielding nothing but a loaf of babka and an unyielding heart.

Chris Caresnone, known to his 470,800 TikTok and 159,000 Instagram followers as the “Babka King,” is a hero not for capes or conquests, but for his fearless celebration of Jewish culture in the face of venomous antisemitism.

From his first bite of cinnamon-sugar babka in June 2024 to his viral April 9, 2025, Instagram reel, Caresnone has transformed a simple love for food into a defiant stand against hate, proving that connection can triumph over cruelty.

Born Chris Campbell in Wheeling, Illinois, Caresnone adopted his moniker to shrug off negativity, a shield forged from his battle with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, diagnosed in 2020. “I’m living my life on a freeroll,” he told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, his voice brimming with gratitude for a second chance. That chance led him to food, a universal language he speaks fluently, from Mexican pozole to Vietnamese pho.

But it was babka, sent by Half Moon Rondout Café in Kingston, New York, that crowned him king. “I opened the box, and this waft of cinnamon and sugar hit me in the face,” he recalled to Fox News Digital. “I’m like, this is crazy.” He speaks of babka like a poet, calling it “beautiful, flowy, and braided,” its layers a metaphor for the cultures he seeks to unite.

His journey through Jewish cuisine, rugelach at Shalom Kosher Bakery, pastrami at Katz’s Deli, a kosher burger at The House of Glatt, has been met with open arms. “The warmth I’ve gotten from the Jewish community is unreal,” he told The Times of Israel in January 2025. “I’ve been invited to Shabbat dinners and rabbis’ houses.”

He’s collaborated with Babka Bailout in New Jersey, crafting peach cobbler and birria babkas, blending Black and Jewish flavors. His dream meal is a pastrami sandwich, cholent, and, of course, babka. (LOL!) This is a man who lives to break bread, believing, as he told Aish, “If you’re breaking bread with people, it’s hard to hate them.”

Yet, for every warm embrace, there’s a shadow of hate. Caresnone’s April 9, 2025, Instagram reel laid bare the cost of his love for Jewish food. “I’ve done all the cultures,” he said, listing Italian, Indian, Polish, even Palestinian cuisine. “I see the most negative comments on my Jewish content.” Accusations of being paid by Israeli lobbyists, vile slurs, and death threats, these are the barbs hurled at a man daring to enjoy a pastry. “The antisemitism that I have personally felt… is real,” he said.

“There’s only 14 million Jewish people on Earth, y’all, and I can see why they’re always in fear.” The threats, he told Fox News Digital, were “the most heinous things I’ve ever heard,” yet he refused to flinch. “What kind of person would I be if I have a platform and I don’t say nothing?” he asked, choosing to double down on his Jewish food tastings.


Netanyahu visits grave of brother Yoni, killed during 1976's Operation Entebbe
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid tribute to his brother Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu in a statement on X/Twitter on Wednesday, after visiting his grave on Mount Herzl earlier in the day.

This is the 49th anniversary of Yoni's death. He was killed in action during Operation Entebbe in 1976, a hostage rescue mission at Entebbe Airport in Uganda.

"Almost 50 years have passed – but it feels like it was yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. Of his final moments. Of what he managed to be – and all that he didn’t have the chance to become. Of his laughter. His vision. His spirit," Netanyahu wrote.

"Thank you to everyone who remembers him. Yoni, my brother, you were so dear to me. I miss you – every single day."

Before Operation Entebbe Yoni enlisted in the IDF Paratroopers, served in the Six Day War
Yoni Netanyahu was born in New York in March of 1946 and moved back and forth between the United States and Israel with his family. As a high school junior, after a brief return to the United States in 1963, he returned to Israel, enlisting in the IDF Paratroopers Brigade. He then fought in the Six Day War as a commander.

After the war, Yoni Netanyahu married his girlfriend, Tuti. They soon left for Boston, where he enrolled at Harvard University.

During his studies, Israel was in the midst of fighting a “War of Attrition” against Egypt and Jordan. Believing he should be in his homeland, Yoni and Tuti returned to Israel in 1968. Yoni enrolled at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and studied mathematics and philosophy.

Yoni commanded a General Staff Reconnaissance Unit (Sayeret Matkal) force in the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War. The unit killed more than 40 Syrian commandos and thwarted the attempted Syrian raid in the Golan's heartland. He also rescued wounded Lt.-Col. Yossi Ben Hanan from Tel Shams.

The 2012 documentary film Follow Me is based on Yoni Netanyahu's life and his final mission. The film’s narration uses transcripts from his personal letters and other spoken words.
