LEADING STORY: Israel has announced plans to posthumously honor Charlie Kirk, the esteemed conservative activist, at its International Conference on Combating Antisemitism. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauded Kirk as a courageous advocate who relentlessly opposed antisemitism, upheld free speech, and defended Judeo-Christian principles. Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically assassinated in September. His death followed his outspoken denunciation of anti-Jewish hatred and his reaffirmation of support for Israel and societal values.
WATCH: New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have both condemned protesters who chanted “we support Hamas” during a demonstration in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Queens. WATCH HERE:
SHOCKING CONFESSION: A 19-year-old man from Mississippi faces charges of arson for allegedly setting fire to the state’s largest synagogue in an antisemitic act, according to the FBI. Stephen Pittman is accused of calling Beth Israel Congregation “the synagogue of Satan” before laughing as he confessed the act to his father, who then reported him. The historic synagogue endured significant damage, and prosecutors are pushing for severe penalties.
COIN OF THE REALM: Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams warned of rising antisemitism and anti-Americanism, unveiling a New York City digital coin to fund education, awareness, and scholarships without raising taxes. Adams says blockchain proceeds would support antisemitism education, crypto training for students, and aid underserved youth—while positioning New York as a global cryptocurrency hub despite policy reversals by the new administration.

NUTTY PROFESSOR: A Columbia University professor accused Israel of instigating Iran’s violent protests, claiming Mossad agents are embedded among demonstrators to undermine Tehran and distract from Gaza. Hamid Dabashi cited social media posts and alleged Israeli flags in protests. Columbia distanced itself from his remarks amid ongoing scrutiny over antisemitism and campus activism tied to the Israel-Hamas war.
GUEST EDITORIAL: Film producer Anita Friedman, whose “Among Neighbors” is now playing in select theaters, writes that Holocaust remembrance is more important than ever with history being actively rewritten by antisemites.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “Throughout history, the welfare of Jewish communities has served as a barometer for a society’s health. When anti-Jewish sentiment proliferates, it erodes progress and contributes to cultural collapse.” – Anita Friedman.
