The Latest From @MacTaskForce
🚨 Terror-linked violence has struck an American university.
Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, the perpetrator behind the Old Dominion University shooting in Norfolk, Virginia had prior ties to terrorist groups. The suspect opened fire in a classroom, killing an ROTC instructor and injuring two others before being stopped.
Jalloh had previously been convicted for attempting to provide material support to ISIS.
This tragedy is a critical reminder that violent extremist movements not only threaten the Middle East, they target Western societies as well. The same ideologies that fuel terror groups like ISIS, Hamas, and others ultimately threaten civilians everywhere.
Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Old Dominion University community.
Police in the Netherlands are investigating an arson attack that happened overnight targeting a synagogue, the latest in a disturbing pattern of violence against Jewish houses of worship around the world.
Synagogues are not political institutions, they are places of prayer, community, and safety. Yet Jewish communities continue to face threats simply for existing openly as Jews.
When antisemitic rhetoric spreads unchecked, it doesn’t stay online. It turns into vandalism, intimidation, and attacks on Jewish life.
Jewish communities everywhere deserve the basic right to worship without fear.
The world must take antisemitism seriously, before headlines like this become even more common.
The perpetrator in the terror attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan has been identified, and excuses are already being made.
Ayman Mohamad Ghazali rammed a vehicle into the synagogue, which houses a preschool where 140 Jewish toddlers and staff were present, while carrying weapons and explosives.
Instead of condemning the attempted massacre of Jews, the Mayor of Dearborn Heights where Ghazali lived, emphasized that some of the perpetrator’s family members were recently killed in Israeli airstrikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
No foreign policy or geopolitical conflict can ever justify attacking a synagogue full of children.
They survived only because of the quick actions of security and first responders. Synagogues, schools, and Jewish communities should never be treated as legitimate targets.
At York University, Israeli-Canadian student Lotan Wider addressed an Iranian solidarity group and was met with cheers, gratitude, and a powerful sense of shared purpose.
Lotan spoke from the heart, telling the crowd that his family and friends in Israel were willing to endure nights in bomb shelters under ballistic missile fire from the Islamic Republic if it meant helping create the conditions for the Iranian people to finally be free.
It was a moment of real solidarity, Israelis and Iranians recognizing that the same regime threatening one is oppressing the other. Across borders and backgrounds, the message was clear: freedom for Iran matters, and the people fighting for it are not alone.

When Dad finally comes home. 🇮🇱
After missing Purim while serving in the IDF reserves, one Israeli father was greeted in the most heartwarming way. His four children in their costumes ran to the door to hug him the moment he walked inside.
Behind every reservist is a family waiting, celebrating milestones late, and showing incredible resilience. Moments like this remind us what Israeli soldiers are protecting: their families, their communities, and the simple joy of being together.
When a tyrannical regime celebrates a diplomatic decision, it should raise serious questions.
The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran has openly welcomed Spain’s decision to downgrade diplomatic relations with Israel, praising the move as a victory.
When groups responsible for exporting terrorism worldwide and murdering its own civilians applaud a policy, it reveals who ultimately benefits from that message, underscoring how closely certain narratives align with the goals of this regime.
Newly released audio from the coordinated operation against the Islamic Republic captures a remarkable moment of solidarity: Israeli and American pilots exchanging messages of respect and appreciation while flying their missions.
Over the radio, the pilots acknowledge the honor of standing side by side in a historic operation, reflecting the deep partnership between the United States and Israel in confronting one of the world’s leading state sponsors of terrorism.
For many across the Middle East, especially Iranians who have suffered under the regime for decades, these moments symbolize more than military cooperation. They represent a growing hope that the forces responsible for repression, terror, and instability will one day be replaced by freedom and security for the Iranian people and the region.
Israelis during war: ✨Every bomb shelter needs a sheep✨
In a video from a missile alert in Israel, civilians rushed into a bomb shelter, and among the crowd of people was an unexpected guest: a sheep sheltering alongside them.
It’s a moment that perfectly captures the uniquely Israeli mix of resilience, humor, and community. Even under rocket fire life continues, and everyone is welcome in the shelter. 🐑🇮🇱
