LEADING STORY: Support for Israel among Americans has reached an unprecedented low, as both Democrats and independents increasingly distance themselves from the long-standing ally. A recent survey indicates that only 32% of Americans hold a favorable view of Israel, marking a significant shift from past sentiments. This change is largely attributed to ongoing tensions in Gaza and a widening generational gap, with Democratic support for Palestinians now surpassing that for Israel, suggesting a potential realignment of political affiliations.

NEW MENACE: Europe is on high alert as a new terrorist group, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya, suspected of having direct ties to Iran’s IRGC, has emerged. The organization recently claimed responsibility for four explosive and arson attacks targeting synagogues and Jewish schools in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Greece. Officials fear the group represents a dangerous expansion of Iranian proxy warfare.
HEROES HONORED: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer hailed security staff as “heroes” after they neutralized a Lebanese-born terrorist who rammed his truck into Temple Israel. Armed with explosives and a rifle, the attacker was stopped by guards before he could harm the 140 children inside. Their rigorous active-shooter training and split-second bravery prevented an immense tragedy during the targeted antisemitic assault.

HATE UNMASKED: A California attorney and two others face felony charges following a brutal, allegedly antisemitic assault at San Jose’s upscale Santana Row. The trio targeted Hebrew-speaking victims, shouting slurs and “Don’t f— with Iran” during a relentless beating that left one man unconscious. While prosecutors continue investigating hate crime enhancements, the community remains shaken by the brazen, daytime violence.
TARGETED DEFENSE: Belgium is deploying military forces to protect synagogues and Jewish schools following a wave of terror attacks across Europe. An Iran-linked group, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, claimed responsibility for recent bombings in Belgium and the Netherlands. Soldiers will now reinforce local police at high-risk sites in Antwerp and Brussels to deter further violence amid surging regional tensions and antisemitism.
GUEST EDITORIAL: Liora Rez, founder of StopAntisemitism, warns against antisemitic tropes masquerading as criticism of Israel on campuses, podcasts and the streets of America. Claims that Jews control the world, or conduct the ritualized murder of Christian children, are returning to mainstream discourse in a disturbing trend, she writes.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “We won’t tolerate pummeling a victim on the ground in front of a restaurant or anywhere. Our public spaces have to be safe for all to enjoy without fear.” – Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen, following an anti-Semitic attack in San Jose.
