A benefit concert for victims of the Bondi terror attack was canceled because members of the Australian Hellenic Choir reportedly voted against performing alongside the Sydney Jewish Choral Society.
According to the choir’s founder, the group refused the collaboration because of the political climate.
Even an event meant to support victims of antisemitic terror was derailed by the exclusion of Jews.
Breaking: Two Jewish men were stabbed in London’s Golders Green neighborhood in what reports suggest was an antisemitic attack. The victims are reportedly in stable condition, and a suspect was arrested after community security volunteers and police intervened.
This is the same Jewish neighborhood where Hatzola ambulances were recently targeted in an arson attack. Jewish communities in the West are facing escalating threats, and governments must treat this as the emergency it is.
Canada designated the IRGC as a terrorist entity in 2024, making IRGC officials legally inadmissible to the country. Yet according to a report by Iran International, now a former IRGC commander who now leads Iran’s football program, Mehdi Taj, is expected to enter for the FIFA Congress in Vancouver.
The Iranian regime must not be normalized or permitted to take part in international events given its brutal massacres of its own people, and the terror it is exporting all across the Middle East.
As horrifying reports come out of the regime in Iran executing innocent protesters, Iranians in the diaspora are still fighting.
In front of the Israeli Consulate in Toronto, organizers and volunteers waved Israeli flags side-by-side with the Lion and Sun flag. The demonstration was organized by Iranians and attended by many Jewish community members. 🇮🇱
A powerful reminder that the people of Iran and the people of Israel are not enemies, they’re united against the same forces of terror and repression.
The hypocrisy is impossible to ignore. When “activists” think they can accuse Israel, they rush to social media and call it human rights. But now that reports have surfaced of women in Gaza alleging sexual abuse and exploitation by Hamas members, those same voices are nowhere to be found. The Daily Mail report says women described being sexually exploited, propositioned, and coerced in exchange for food, aid, money, or protection under Hamas rule.
Their silence says everything. Hamas is not only a threat to Israelis, it’s also a threat to Palestinians, including the women trapped under its control. Human rights don’t stop mattering when the abuser is Hamas.
The IDF says it discovered a Hezbollah weapons cache hidden in a child’s bedroom in southern Lebanon, including explosives, rifles, grenades, RPGs, machine guns, and other combat gear. The military says the cache was found during a targeted raid in the area of Aadshit al-Qusayr.
This is typical Hezbollah behavior. They embed terror infrastructure inside civilian homes, within children’s spaces, to shield their terror activities behind civilians. It’s one more example of Hezbollah turning ordinary Lebanese families into human shields for the purposes of perpetrating terror against Israel.
A major new response to campus antisemitism: Touro University, a private Jewish university system based in NYC, has launched an Antisemitism Institute aimed at dismantling anti-Jewish hatred in academia through education, research, and legal action. Touro says the institute will also host a major antisemitism conference in New York and support new teaching fellowships for professors.
Real institutional investment is required to confront the crisis Jewish students are living through right now. Antisemitism response on campuses shouldn’t only happen when the federal government decides to take action.
A Cambridge student confronted Hasan Piker about the October 7th massacre at the Nova festival and pushed him to clearly condemn the murder and brutality. The clip that circulated afterward shows that instead of offering moral clarity, Piker rationalized the massacre, and refused to denounce the perpetrators.
This is the same Hasan Piker who is often treated as a beloved celebrity by the media.
A figure, no matter how popular, who espouses such reprehensible views shouldn’t be treated like a respected moral voice by anyone, let alone be welcomed by universities and political institutions.
