A Palestinian teacher who worked inside UNRWA schools in Gaza for 15 years has broken her silence - at personal risk to herself and her family. When she confronted a colleague over antisemitic material being taught to children, a senior UNRWA school official threatened her while holding a pair of scissors: “If you don’t stop arguing, we will cut out your tongue.” She stayed silent for years out of fear for her family. Now she is speaking - because she believes what she witnessed in those classrooms helped create the conditions for the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre. “My most important message is that we need to pay attention to who is teaching our children.”

🔴One month after a pilot attempted to crash a flydubai plane into Ben Gurion Airport’s terminal, Israel is taking no chances. Israel has banned United Airlines pilot Sina Amjadian from entering Israeli airspace as a crew member, following allegations that he publicly expressed support for the Iranian regime and Hezbollah on social media. The move comes as Israel is actively reviewing the social media activity and backgrounds of foreign pilots flying into Ben Gurion - a security gap exposed by last month’s flydubai attack, in which the Omani co-pilot had been previously flagged for radicalization but was never barred from flying the Dubai-Tel Aviv route.

Report: A Chabad Hasidic man was stabbed by a woman in Manhattan’s Diamond District Wednesday evening in what the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating as a possible antisemitic attack. According to eyewitness reports, the attacker passed by several other pedestrians without incident before targeting the victim - who was visibly dressed in traditional Jewish attire - stabbing him with what appeared to be a syringe or needle. The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition. Manhattan Shomrim is asking anyone with security camera footage or dashcam video from the area to come forward immediately.

Antisemitism has become part of school life for most Jewish students in England. A government-commissioned report found that 3 in 5 of them have been targeted by it. Other students see it too: 1 in 5 of all students say they’ve seen antisemitism at school, and under half believe that it would be dealt with if they reported it. “I was the only Jewish student at my school, and I experienced lots of antisemitic bullying. There were lots of comments around gas chambers, people telling me that I belonged in a gas chamber. And I also saw a wider culture in school of swastikas and Nazi salutes becoming quite normalized,” says Jonathan Frisher (17) from northern England. The government commissioned Sir David Bell, once a top schools inspector, to lead the review. The report will provide 27 recommendations which are reportedly set to be adopted in full. @StandWithUsUK

A former UN official just said what the world needed to hear. Alice Jill Edwards served as the UN's Independent Expert on torture from 2022 to 2026. She spent her career defending Palestinian refugees, led proceedings before Europe's highest court to protect them. And yet, in a bombshell opinion piece in Britain's Daily Telegraph, she accuses two of her most prominent UN colleagues - Francesca Albanese, the UN rapporteur on Palestinian territories, and Reem Alsalem, the UN rapporteur on violence against women - of deliberately ignoring Hamas's sexual violence on October 7, 2023, calling their conduct one-sided, politically motivated, and a betrayal of the victims. "They never formally documented these horrors, despite the growing body of evidence which to most of us is indisputable, but which they dispute." She also takes direct aim at UN Secretary-General António Guterres, saying he has "failed to carry out the original mandate of the UN" and adopted a "fatalistic posture" while wars rage around the world. When Edwards published her own report on October 7, only one other UN special rapporteur agreed to sign it. Others refused. Some tried to have material removed entirely. This is not coming from Israel. This is coming from inside the UN itself.

Time magazine just named its 300 Best Inventions of 2026. Four of them came from Israel. A startup using dogs to detect cancer. A robotic beehive powered by AI.

SpotitEarly. Beewise. Bria AI. Aidoc. Four Israeli companies. Four innovations making the world better, smarter, and healthier. Israeli innovation, once again recognized by the world.

German-Israeli Shani Louk went to the Nova Festival to dance. Hamas murdered her and took her to Gaza. Now, the last of her kidnappers has been eliminated. May her memory forever be a blessing.

This Thursday marks 43 years since Hezbollah - backed by the Iranian regime - murdered 241 American service members in Beirut. The same Iranian regime is still here. Still funding proxies. Still targeting Americans and Israelis. The threat never changed.
