LEADING STORY: Miss Israel, Melanie Shiraz, reports facing death and sexual violence threats following the spread of a contentious video from the Miss Universe 2025 event in Bangkok. The video, which may have been altered, appears to show her giving Miss Palestine a hostile look, a claim she refutes, attributing it to camera distortion. An entrepreneur with a degree from Berkeley, Shiraz condemns the antisemitic harassment but emphasizes her unwavering commitment to representing Israel and advocating for peace.

SUING TO HATE: A law professor at a state university is suing the school, alleging First Amendment retaliation after being barred from teaching following his online petition calling for war against Israel. The tenured prof claims his reassignment violates free speech and seeks reinstatement and damages.

ATHLETES PAY THE PRICE: The Olympic Committee of Israel canceled its 2025 athlete and coach awards, citing global protests and safety concerns linked to the war in Gaza. Israeli athletes, including Olympic medalists, were denied visas to major events in Indonesia and Hungary, while teams across sports faced bans or disruptions amid rising international boycotts and discrimination.

INNER CIRCLE PROBLEMS: New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani faces backlash after a report revealed a transition team member made past anti-Israel and antisemitic posts, calling Israel “barbaric” and praising former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mamdani’s team condemned the decade-old remarks but hasn’t confirmed the member’s removal.

GUEST EDITORIAL: Rabbi Chaim Neiditch, who has devoted three decades to Jewish teen outreach, warns that antisemitism is becoming ‘normal,’ with Jewish teens paying the price. “Our teens need to feel proud of who they are as Jews and confident in recognizing when that identity is under attack,” writes Neiditch.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “This has been to the point of, ‘I want to rape and kill you,’ or, ‘I hope that you end up like one of the hostages that got raped and shot in the head. I’ve gotten, ‘die you dirty Jew.’ I don’t want to be too graphic, and it’s jarring.” – Miss Israel Melanie Shiraz.
