LEADING STORY: In a harrowing event in West Bloomfield, Michigan, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a 41-year-old Lebanese-born U.S. citizen, executed a violent attack on a local synagogue. He crashed his truck into the building and attempted to set it ablaze while armed with a rifle. Thanks to swift action by security personnel, the threat was contained, and fortunately, all 140 children present escaped unharmed. The community remains deeply unsettled by this act of terror.

VIDEO FEATURE: Hear from ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt as he discusses how universities are improving their policies amidst rising reports of anti-Jewish incidents on campuses. WATCH HERE:

DOMESTIC TERRORISM: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is under increasing scrutiny to address a pronounced rise in antisemitic violence after three synagogues in the Toronto area were targeted by gunfire within one week. Jewish leaders express profound concern, describing their community as “shaken to our core,” and are calling for decisive federal action to curb the surge in intimidation and hate crimes.

LET’S GO, BRANDON: The Anti-Defamation League is demanding Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson launch a dedicated task force as antisemitic hate crimes reach a “crisis point.” Following the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers and a 74% spike in local incidents, the ADL accuses city leadership of “fanning the flames” through extremist appointments and failing to protect Jewish residents. Action is non-negotiable.

STREETS OF RAGE: San Jose police are investigating a brutal assault at the popular Santana Row shopping district as a potential antisemitic hate crime. Caught on camera, the violent altercation involved multiple suspects pummeling a man while allegedly hurling religious slurs. As local tensions simmer, authorities are working to identify the attackers and determine if the victim was targeted for his faith.

WINDOW DRESSING: The ADL’s 2026 report card shows university antisemitism grades doubling, fueled by stricter policies and GOP pressure. Yet, the “improved” marks mask a darker reality: Jewish students report that campus hostility remains rampant. Paper progress is failing to stop the real-world surge of anti-Jewish hate.

GUEST EDITORIAL: Legendary college basketball coach Bruce Pearl, now chairman of the US-Israel Education Association, identifies two key requirements to bringing peace and stability to the Palestinian territories

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “All eyes are on Canada: it’s time to halt the unprecedented wave of Jew-hatred that has erupted since October 7th.” – Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
