British pop icon Boy George is standing his ground. After releasing "We Will Dance Again" - a tribute to the victims of the Nova music festival massacre on October 7, 2023 - and stepping down from a West End role amid backlash, Boy George issued a defiant statement defending his decision to stand with the Jewish community.

"Those who deny the suffering of Israelis are given a free pass," he wrote, pushing back against accusations that he lacks compassion for Palestinians. He explained that the song was inspired by a visit to the Nova Exhibition in London, where he met the parents of British-Israeli musician Jake Marlowe, who was murdered in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. "The Nova Festival is a mirror of my world as a DJ. I could have been there." He also revealed that his record label manager walked out over the song - and that he cut ties with him immediately. "When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. The truth will always win." In a world where too many artists stay silent, Boy George chose to speak. 🎵🇮🇱

When you see reports about violence in the West Bank/Judea & Samaria, you will often need to dig deeper to fully understand what is happening on the ground.

We recently had to do this ourselves.

On July 24, a group of 60 Israelis reportedly entered a Palestinian Authority-controlled area unlawfully. To date, its unclear why they did so. They were confronted by local Palestinians, one of whom seized Benayahu Mellet's weapon and fatally shot him. IDF officer Yuval Ezra was also killed, along with the attacker and three other Palestinians, in circumstances that remain under investigation.

We know these details now, but we did not know all of them when we first shared reports about the attack. We are deeply saddened by this senseless loss of life.

While entering an area unlawfully is wrong, there is no justification for Palestinian extremists responding with murderous violence. Likewise, there is no justification for revenge attacks by Israeli extremists against Palestinian civilian property. These criminal acts do not represent Israeli society and violate both Israeli law and Jewish values. Those responsible should be investigated, prosecuted, and held fully accountable.

There is more we found that most sources will not tell you.

In 2025, there were thousands of attacks by Palestinian extremists in the region. 4,675 stone throwing, Molotov cocktail, pipe bomb, and arson/tire burning attacks against Israeli targets were recorded - most of them in the West Bank/Judea & Samaria. Israeli authorities reportedly thwarted 1,374 major attacks, including shootings, IEDs, stabbings, car rammings, suicide bombings, and kidnappings. Terrorists also managed to carry out 54 major attacks against Israelis. These facts about Palestinian extremist violence are rarely mentioned in the news or on social media.

During the same time period, the IDF reported that there were 867 attacks by Israeli extremists, 128 of which were more severe (shootings, arson, and other violent crimes).

While the majority of Israelis and many people around the world rightly condemn and demand accountability for the Israeli attacks, there is far too little pressure to end the Palestinian attacks.

Misrepresenting this issue deepens division and conflict, instead of advancing peace. Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve better.

🚨 BREAKING: A group of Israeli hikers was attacked by Palestinians near the village of Tel in Samaria (northern West Bank/Judea and Samaria) this morning. Reports indicate at least one Palestinian terrorist fired towards the group. One Israeli man in his 30s was murdered. Two others, aged 20 and 25, were wounded, one seriously, and evacuated by helicopter.

According to Israeli security sources, the attackers ambushed the hikers near a local mosque, stole the weapon of a civilian security coordinator who arrived at the scene, and used it to open fire on the group.

IDF forces flooded the area and imposed a closure on the village of Tel and several entrances to Nablus. Soldiers who arrived returned fire; Palestinian casualties are also being reported, though the number has not been confirmed.

This is the third terror attack in the West Bank/Judea and Samaria in the past 24 hours. - StandWithUs

As antisemitism continues to rise around the world, the Maimonides statue in Plaza de Tiberíades, in the Jewish quarter of Córdoba, Spain, was targeted with antisemitic graffiti. Maimonides, also widely known as the Rambam, remains one of Judaism’s towering figures. Born in Córdoba in 1135 and died in 1204 in Egypt, he was a philosopher, rabbi, and physician whose legacy and impact are still felt today. He is buried in Tiberias, northern Israel. Spain’s National Police are investigating the incident.

Israeli forward Dor Turgeman was targeted by "Death to Israel" chants from fans during an MLS match between CF Montréal and the New England Revolution on Saturday.

After scoring his fourth league goal of the season, Turgeman celebrated in front of the Montreal supporters - responding defiantly to the anti-Israel abuse coming from the stands. The celebration sparked a confrontation on the field. CF Montréal condemned the incident and opened an investigation alongside MLS and the New England Revolution. Turgeman had no regrets. “Israel is above everything for me. I’m proud to be Israeli and proud of the national team.”

He was kidnapped from the Nova Festival in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and held hostage in Gaza for more than two years. He was finally released on October 13, 2025. The world must never forget the cruelty of Hamas or the horrors the hostages endured.

A estátua de Maimônides, localizada na Plaza de Tiberíades, no bairro judaico de Córdoba, na Espanha, foi alvo de pichação antissemita.

Maimônides, também conhecido como Rambam, nasceu em Córdoba em 1135 e se tornou uma das figuras mais importantes da história judaica: era filósofo, rabino, médico e pensador, e sua influência atravessou séculos.

Segundo a imprensa local, a base da escultura foi vandalizada com tinta spray na noite de sexta-feira (31). A prefeitura de Córdoba condenou o ato, classificando-o como uma agressão ao patrimônio e destacando a gravidade da mensagem de ódio.

A polícia local registrou o caso e encaminhou a investigação à Polícia Nacional da Espanha.

Atacar a estátua de Maimônides não é apenas vandalismo. É uma tentativa de atingir a memória judaica em uma cidade marcada por séculos de presença, cultura e contribuição do povo judeu.

Gazan ״soccer players”, “coaches”, and even a ״FIFA international assistant referee". The world was told they were athletes. The evidence shows they were terrorists.

The IDF has revealed that those targeted in Gaza and portrayed to the world as innocent athletes were in fact Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. Don't let the "innocent soccer player" narrative fool you.
