FOUL PLAY: The Israeli Defense Forces slammed wild claims they deliberately targeted innocent Palestinian soccer players, exposing killed athletes, referees, and coaches as covert Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. The IDF revealed the identities of 11 dead players—including three allegedly tied to the brutal October 7 massacre—accusing critics of using sports stars to hide deadly terror ties.
RADICAL RECKONING: A resurfaced clip of NYC’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani calling Israel "an idea" rather than a real country has sparked furious online backlash. Critics blasted the anti-Israel Mayor as "deranged" and out-of-touch, as he continues taking heat for skipping the city's Israel parade and plotting a wild scheme to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York.
MARQUEE MESSAGE: A movie theater outside Portland, Oregon, is facing backlash after it displayed a marquee advertising Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" with a provocative message critics are calling antisemitic. The Lake Theater and Cafe's marquee read, "Before there were the Jews, there was... The Odyssey." The marquee sparked outrage in the Jewish community, and critics claimed the message was historically inaccurate.
GUEST EDITORIAL: Warren Cohn, CEO and founder of Rocketship PR and media adviser to the American Middle East Press Association, writes that Zohran Mamdani's obsession with Israel is coming at the expense of the city he was elected to govern. "New Yorkers elected a mayor to obsess over New York, over crime, over housing, over sanitation, over schools," not a country 6,000 miles away, Cohn writes.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "He's just a clown to even say that, so he won't try that. Just sit down and focus on other problems that they have in New York. That's really not your purview. You and I know that. Sit down." - Sen. John Fetterman on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
