Fox News has launched the “Antisemitism Exposed” newsletter, shedding light on the increasing anti-Jewish sentiment both in the United States and globally.

HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS ISSUE:

– New terrorist organization with alleged Iranian connections claims responsibility for four attacks in Europe
– Security team hailed as ‘heroes’ for preventing further tragedy during Michigan synagogue attack, according to the governor

LEADING STORY: Support for Israel among Americans has reached an unprecedented low, especially as Democrats and independents increasingly distance themselves from the long-standing ally. A recent poll reveals that only 32% of Americans hold a favorable view of Israel, marking a significant shift. Influenced by the conflict in Gaza and widening generational differences, Democratic support for Palestinians now eclipses backing for Israel, potentially signaling a major partisan shift.

VIDEO UPDATE: The Israel Defense Forces have revealed that the brother of the suspected Michigan synagogue attacker was a Hezbollah commander. WATCH HERE:

EMERGING THREAT: Europe is on heightened alert with the appearance of a new terrorist faction, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya, believed to have direct connections to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. The group has taken responsibility for a series of explosive and arson attacks on synagogues and Jewish educational institutions in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Greece. Authorities are concerned that this indicates a troubling expansion of Iran’s proxy warfare tactics.

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.
