CALL FOR RESPONSIBILITY: A Jewish advocacy group is demanding the dismissal of a broadcaster who called a Zionist Israeli Olympic athlete a proponent of genocide.

CASE CLOSED: A Palestinian activist previously accused of expressing a desire to “kill Jews” in social media posts has won his eviction case. An immigration judge ruled that she can stay in the United States, sparking strong reactions from critics who say the decision ignores obvious security threats and incitement to systemic anti-Semitism.
