Anti-Israel violence fueled by US elites
On June 1, a terrorist in Boulder, Colo., aimed a flamethrower and lobbed Molotov cocktails at demonstrators — including a Holocaust survivor — marching in solidarity with the innocent hostages Hamas took from their homes in the world's only Jewish-majority state nearly two years ago now.

Trump explains why Egypt was not part of travel ban after citing Boulder attack
Trump explains why Egypt was not part of travel ban after citing Boulder attack 'Egypt has been a country that we deal with very closely. They have things under control,' Trump said of the nation's exemption from his travel ban. Show Caption Hide Caption Travelers react to the latest travel ban from President Trump "Pros and cons." Travelers in Los Angeles responded to the news of President Donald Trump's travel ban impacting nearly 20 countries. WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he did not include Egypt in a travel ban, which he tied to a terror attack allegedly carried out by an Egyptian national, because the United States works closely with the Arab nation. "Egypt has been a country that we deal with very closely. They have things under control. The countries that we have don't have things under control," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on June 5. In introducing the partial or complete ban on travel from citizens of 19 nations on June 4, Trump cited the Boulder, Colorado, attack that took place at an event raising awareness about Israeli hostages. The suspect in the case, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is an Egyptian man who entered the U.S. on a tourist visit that he overstayed after applying for asylum, federal officials say. More: Trump's travel ban is his fourth attempt. See how list compares to 2017 Yet, the travel ban that Trump unveiled days later did not include Egypt, raising questions about the timing and purpose of the ban, which the president's critics say unfairly targets African and Muslim-majority nations. Trump requested that the State Department and other national security officials put together a list of countries for potential visa restrictions in an executive order just after taking office. But nothing came of it for months, until the Boulder attack, which he blamed on the previous administration. "We want to keep bad people out of our country. The Biden administration allowed some horrendous people," Trump said in the Oval Office, as he touted his deportation policies. Egypt has acted as a central mediator alongside the United States and Qatar in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, helping to establish a ceasefire and secure the release of prisoners and hostages. The United States had conducted joint training exercises with Egypt since 1980 and considers the Arab nation that has been ruled by Abdel Fattah El-Sisi since 2014 a regional partner. The Egyptian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Netanyahu says Israel has ‘activated' some Palestinian clans in the fight against Hamas
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel has 'activated' some local clans of Palestinians in Gaza in the fight against Hamas. In a video posted to his X account, Netanyahu said the government made the move on the advice of 'security officials,' in order to save lives of Israeli soldiers. The announcement came hours after a political opponent criticized him for arming unofficial groups of Palestinians in Gaza. Some local Palestinian families in Gaza are known to have arms and often wield some control in parts of the territory. In the past, before and during the war, some have had clashes or tensions with Hamas. An Israeli official said that one of the groups that Netanyahu was referring to was the so-called Abu Shabab group. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. In recent weeks, the Abu Shabab group announced online that its fighters were helping protect aid shipments to the new distribution mechanism backed by Israel in southern Gaza. Error!

Orthodox Jewish family claims video led to unfair suspension by Boca property association
A family is accusing their property association in Boca Raton of unfairly punishing them because they are members of the development's growing Orthodox Jewish community. The civil-rights lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach, says that the Boca Grove Property Owners Association suspended the family's rights to use the development's facilities for 90 days after blaming the father for release of a video that showed a traditional Jewish prayer ritual. The ritual, known as 'wrapping tefillin,' was characterized in a complaint filed by the association as 'outrageous religious conduct,' according to the lawsuit. Issac Scharf said he was singled out for punishment because he invited a social media influencer, Jake Adams, to play the country club's golf course and release a comedic video of the events in December 2024, according to the lawsuit. The video included a scene in which Adams performed the ritual with Scharf's help, the suit states. Woman sues real estate firm that she says ignored her sexual assault report in Florida Smokey Robinson sues former housekeepers for defamation over rape allegations The association's manager did not respond to the South Florida Sun Sentinel's request for comment. The court docket does not yet list an attorney representing the association in the matter. Scharf is seeking $50 million, claiming that the suspension violated the Fair Housing Act and traumatized members of his family. While the suspension was at first levied against only him, the development later extended it to his wife and five children, the suit states. Adams frequently posts videos of his visits to various country club golf courses and making light jokes aimed at the Jewish community, the suit states. Tefillin, according to the website 'consists of two black boxes provided with leather straps to hold them into place wrapped around the arm, hand, and head.' Each of the boxes contains pieces of parchment with passages of the Torah. One is placed on the arm and the other on the head. Straps are used to bind the boxes — 'effectively binding our hearts and our minds to God,' the website says. Scharf's lawsuit states that members of the association's governing board became angry when they saw the video and initiated disciplinary proceedings against Scharf, saying it 'contained references to religious practices that have been deemed offensive to a reasonable person.' Scharf claimed in the suit that the suspension was part of a series of actions by the association meant to dissuade Orthodox families from settling in the upscale country club development. Other actions include obstructing a golf course path that Orthodox residents used to walk to a nearby synagogue on Saturdays and religious holidays and campaigning against efforts to create kosher food services in the development, the suit claims. 'This wasn't about enforcing a policy. It was about sending a message to Orthodox Jews that they're not welcome,' said the Scharfs' attorney, Jacob Roth of Dhillon Law Group.
