The Latest From @MacTaskForce
Six suspects have now been indicted by federal prosecutors on hate crime and obstruction charges after perpetrating a 2024 antisemitic attack on a Jewish University of Pittsburgh student.
The DOJ says the victim was attacked in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood because of his religion, and that some of the defendants later tried to obstruct the investigation.
This is an important reminder that antisemitic violence is not “just campus tension” or “heated rhetoric.” When Jewish students are targeted for being visibly Jewish, it is a federal civil rights issue and a criminal act. Accountability matters.
STILL UNDER ATTACK: vehicles in Tel Aviv were set ablaze by falling cluster munitions fired by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Reuters footage has documented Iranian cluster munition impacts and damage in central Israel, while Human Rights Watch says these weapons are inherently indiscriminate and that Iran’s repeated use of them may amount to war crimes. These are weapons designed to scatter danger over wide civilian areas.
In the case of Iranian ballistic missile attack against Israel as well as many of the Arab countries in the region, civilians are the ones forced to live with the constant missile attacks, the shrapnel, and the terror.
The FBI has now officially confirmed that the Michigan synagogue attacker was carrying out a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism. Federal investigators say the attacker who targeted Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, intended to kill Jewish people and had consumed Hezbollah propaganda. He was also the brother of a Hezbollah operative who was killed in Israeli strikes against the terror organization, a fact which some aimed to use as an excuse for the terror attack.
This is exactly why antisemitic terror must be treated as the national security threat it is. A synagogue was targeted, Jewish families were put in danger, and Hezbollah’s ideology has reached all the way into an American community, and this is not the only one.
🚨 ANOTHER MASSACRE IN NIGERIA
The AP reports that at least 20 people were killed in a nighttime attack in Jos North, where gunmen on motorcycles opened fire on a community and authorities imposed a 48-hour curfew. Plateau State, a Nigerian state in the North Central geopolitical zone, has seen repeated deadly violence amid long-running tensions involving Christian farming communities, Muslim Fulani herders, and criminal gangs.
The world cannot claim to care about human rights while ignoring atrocities that fall outside the day’s preferred narrative. Moral seriousness means making room for all victims, not just the ones that trend.

Anti-Zionist Jewish academic at Western Sydney University, Alana Lentin, chaired a webinar event that reportedly downplayed the threat of antisemitism.
Lentin self-describes on her personal website as an “anti-Zionist Jewish European woman who is a settler on Gadigal-Wangal land (Sydney, Australia)”. According to Sky News she also published an article two weeks after the Bondi terror attack calling Zionism “facism.”
She intends to challenge Australia’s new antisemitism laws introduced in the wake of Bondi.
The university has “distanced” itself from the professor as well as the webinar, saying that it did not support or fund the event.
No one should EVER “dismiss” or “downplay” antisemitism on campus or anywhere else.
The University of Texas at Dallas suspended its SJP chapter for a year, revoking its registered student organization status, and barring it from reserving rooms or hosting events on campus until February 2027.
According to the report, the university tied its disciplinary case to a 2025 commencement walkout and determined the group had violated university standards. For too long, disruptive anti-Israel ‘activism’ has been treated as untouchable, when it really represents discrimination and hate.
This decision sends the message that universities can, and should, enforce consequences on student groups who break the rules and propagate hate.
💔 There are moments that capture the soul of a people, and this was one of them. IDF soldiers and civilians returning on the Jerusalem light rail from the funeral of 22-year-old Moshe Katz, a Paratroopers Brigade 890 soldier killed while fighting Hezbollah Lebanon, were seen singing together in mourning.
This spontaneous celebration of life exemplified the heartbreak, memory, and the unbearable weight of a young life lost in the heroic pursuit of the defense of his nation and his people.
May Moshe’s memory always be blessed. 🕯️
The playbook should be obvious now. The IDF recently discovered that Hezbollah hid weapons inside a school in southern Lebanon.
According to the report, IDF troops found anti-tank rockets, mortar shells, grenades, launchers, firearms, explosives, and more in a school in Al-Khiyam alongside the logo of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Schools are supposed to protect children, not shield terror infrastructure.
This is another example of an Iranian terror proxy, this time Hezbollah, embedding itself in civilian spaces and exploiting them for war.
