Five elections to watch in 2026 by @fridaghitis.bsky.social on Substack open.substack.com/pub/fridains...

A 35-year-old man was walking down the street in New York when he was approached by a man who shouted antisemitic slurs and stabbed him repeatedly in the chest. collive.com/jewish-man-s...

Good point

On U.S. soil, the worst antisemitic massacre in living memory was perpetrated by one of Vance's white nationalist fellow travelers, who was specifically incensed about the Jewish community providing aid to refugees and asylum seekers.

There’s something very wrong with this man

Unbelievable.

The story that is not being covered by the mainstream media is that Australian authorities had been warned repeatedly that the Jewish community was in danger. They refused to take the warnings seriously. open.substack.com/pub/fridains...

Rob Reiner and his wife found dead, murdered in their home.

The anguish in Jewish communities is two-fold: First, the assaults themselves. Second, the lack of understanding by authorities and non-Jewish community leaders about the depth of the threat makes them deadlier, more likely, and more infuriating. open.substack.com/pub/fridains...

Will the slaughter of Jews on an Australian beach be a wake up call? open.substack.com/pub/fridains...

The hero of the Hannukah massacre has been identified as Ahmed Al-Ahmed, a 43-year-old fruit shop owner. He disarmed one of the gunmen. He is Muslim. May he be an inspiration to the world.

Eleven people massacred in Australia during antisemitic attack on Jewish community celebrating Hannukah at Bondi Beach in Sidney. Antisemitism is raging around the world and only Jews are taking it seriously. www.cnn.com/webview/worl...

The battle to buy WBD, CNN's parent company, brings to mind what Hungary's PM Viktor Orban did. Taking control of the media was key to consolidating power.

Venezuela in the Crosshairs: This performative toughness, under the guise of protecting Americans from drug traffickers is a deadly gambit. open.substack.com/pub/fridains...

George Will: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement.”

George Will: A sickening moral slum of an administration
“The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Another interesting tidbit from the Lizza Nuzzi files. Interesting in so many ways.
