LEADING STORY: Duke University has suspended its Students for Justice in Palestine chapter amid backlash over an offensive Instagram post. The post, which portrayed Zionism and U.S. Imperialism as pigs, echoes dehumanizing imagery from 1970s extremist rhetoric. Although the group is on hold, there are calls for accountability from the individual students responsible for this overt harassment.

SURVIVING CAPTIVITY: After enduring 738 days in captivity in Gaza, Rom Braslavski recounts the severe abuse he faced, including starvation, torture, and sexual assault. Initially hiding his military background, his ordeal intensified once his true identity was discovered. Throughout his confinement, he subsisted on scarce food, faced isolation, and suffered extreme physical harm, only to be released in October 2025. He now leans on his faith as he works toward healing.
BRUTAL BACKLASH: Progressive Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is under fire for archived Reddit posts praising a deadly 2014 Hamas raid as “well executed.” The combat veteran, backed by Bernie Sanders, also faced scrutiny over a past Nazi-style tattoo. While Platner attributes the conduct to a “hyper-violent” military culture, Republicans and veterans have slammed his comments as disqualifying for office.
FOUNDATION OF HATE: The 1979 Islamic Revolution transformed Iran from a stable home for Jews into a theater of state-sponsored terror. By weaponizing antisemitism as a core ideology, the regime executed community leaders, seized property, and forced a mass exodus. Today, a dwindling population remains as a “pathetic fig leaf,” coerced into denouncing Israel to survive under a fanatical, oppressive mullahcracy.

SHOWING THE WAY: Ben Carasso, an 11-year-old Israeli influencer, uses social media to combat global antisemitism and share the realities of Jewish children living in conflict. A third-generation Holocaust survivor descendant, he began his advocacy after the October 7 attacks. Despite facing online abuse, he travels internationally to meet other Jewish youth, promoting fact-checking and encouraging peers to speak up for the truth.
GUEST EDITORIAL: Dov Forman, a history student at University College London and co-author of the New York Times bestselling book Lily’s Promise, writes that campus antisemitism and London arson attacks show Britain is failing its Jewish community.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “I walked without energy, breathing air as if those were my last breaths, thinking it would be the last time I would see the light of day. I kept going.” – Rom Braslavski, 19, who spent more than two years as a captive of Hamas.
