– Mississippi synagogue arson suspect’s dad turns him in after laughing confession
– Eric Adams says New York City coin will fund fight against antisemitism
TOP STORY: Israel plans to honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk at its International Conference on Combating Antisemitism. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Kirk as a fearless ally who fought antisemitism, championed free speech, and defended Judeo-Christian values. The Turning Point USA founder was assassinated in September, weeks after publicly condemning Jew-hatred and reaffirming his support for Israel and civil society values.
VIDEO: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, as well as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., condemned demonstrators chanting “we support Hamas” in a Jewish section of Queens. WATCH HERE:
LAUGHING CONFESSION: A 19-year-old Mississippi man is charged with torching the state’s largest synagogue in an antisemitic attack, the FBI says. Stephen Pittman allegedly set the fire after calling it “the synagogue of Satan,” then laughed while confessing to his father, who turned him in. The historic Beth Israel Congregation suffered heavy damage; prosecutors are seeking 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.
