Democratic Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Jacky Rosen are among the lawmakers condemning Hasan Piker after the Twitch streamer made inflammatory remarks about Jewish Americans and Israel. Piker told viewers that U.S. Jews who support Israel would inevitably face targeted violence, comments critics described as victim-blaming. Lawmakers warned that rhetoric of that kind can deepen antisemitic hostility, legitimize political intimidation and contribute to a climate in which hate crimes become more likely.

Former Navy SEAL Cameron Hamilton told Fox News Channel that Israel maintains “robust defenses” despite facing security threats on several fronts. Hamilton, who has helped train members of the Israel Defense Forces, told FNC’s Kevin Corke that the situation remains “complicated,” pointing to ongoing conflict in Gaza, unrest in the West Bank and attacks from the north, where Hezbollah has launched hundreds of rockets toward Israel.

A newly released 200-page report is raising alarms over what researchers describe as Muslim Brotherhood-linked networks quietly embedding themselves across Canadian civic and public institutions. The report claims organizations tied to radical Islamist movements have received millions in public funding while expanding their influence nationwide. Analysts cited in the findings warn that such unchecked entryism could undermine democratic oversight and create national security concerns across North America.

Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader announced that his country will formally adopt a leading international framework for identifying and combating antisemitism. Speaking at a regional forum in Santo Domingo, Abinader said hatred directed at Jews is not only a threat to Jewish communities but also a danger to democracy itself. The decision makes the Dominican Republic the seventh Latin American nation to embrace the global standard as part of a broader effort to confront antisemitic hate crimes.

Instead, thousands are aggressively demanding more community, creating hundreds of new Jewish clubs, and choosing to proudly express their faith and heritage as the new school year begins.

Sabrina Soffer, a George Washington University alumna and scholar at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, argues that rooted in radical classroom culture. While federal lawsuits against institutions like Harvard are crucial, Soffer insists that true reform requires relentless alumni action to hold administrators accountable, mentor current students, and restore academic integrity to higher education.

“This shouldn’t be hard: no community should face the threat [of] violence for their political views. Period.” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.
