A message from Yarden Bibas to his son, Ariel, on what should have been his 7th birthday.

On October 7, 2023, Ariel, who was just 4 years old, along with his mother, Shiri, and his baby brother, Kfir, was kidnapped from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel by Palestinian terrorists. While held captive in Gaza, all three were brutally murdered.

Their father, Yarden, was kidnapped separately and was released in February 2025.

“Instead of celebrating your birthday, instead of going with Mom to buy things for your birthday party, I'm sitting here beside you...
In the only place where I feel closest to you.
Time isn't doing its thing, and the days aren't becoming any easier. The longing grows stronger day by day, and the feelings of loneliness and absence only intensify.
The days go by, the sun still rises every morning and sets every night, and life continues to be empty and without much meaning.
Everything enjoyable feels empty and hollow.
In everything I do, I can't help but think about you and how it could have been so much more enjoyable with all of you!
I hope you know that I would give up everything for just one more little moment with all of you!
I would give up my life if it would bring all of you back!
Chuki, I can't lift you up in your birthday chair, and I also don't get to see you excitedly open all the presents you would have received, or feel the excitement of watching you share them with Kfir, whom you love so much!
But I hope that up in heaven they're lifting you up and celebrating your birthday!
I'm sure Mom arranged the most beautiful birthday she could for you, just like we did for you at the kibbutz every year.
To me, you will forever be my whole world, and every little moment of happiness is because of you and for you!
I love you more than anything in the world, always, forever!!
I love all of you more than anything in the world, always, forever. 🧡🧡🧡”

During an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad denied Hamas' October 7, 2023 atrocities, in which Hamas massacred 1,200 people - and kidnapped hundreds from multiple nationalities into Gaza.

During the interview, when pressed directly on when Hamas would disarm and hand over its weapons as required by the deal, Hamad refused to answer. Let's be clear about what Hamas' stated goal has always been - the complete destruction of the State of Israel and the elimination of the Jewish people. That is not resistance. That is genocide.

Nota de repúdio a caso de antissemitismo em hospital no município de Caçador (SC)

A StandWithUs Brasil repudia veementemente o episódio de antissemitismo ocorrido no sábado (1º), na Unidade de Pronto Atendimento (UPA) do município de Caçador, no oeste de Santa Catarina.

Na ocasião, um paciente de 47 anos foi preso em flagrante pelos crimes de racismo e injúria racial, pois, ao saber que seu médico era judeu venezuelano, afirmou que queria ser atendido por um médico “branco, cristão e brasileiro”.

A discriminação a um profissional não pode ser normalizada e aceita em hipótese nenhuma, independentemente de sua origem, raça ou religião.

Diante da crescente onda de antissemitismo que vemos ocorrer no mundo todo, é imprescindível que haja tolerância zero a qualquer tipo de preconceito. Enquanto organização não governamental que atua na educação sobre Israel e no combate ao ódio contra os judeus no Brasil, condenamos, nos mais fortes termos, todas as formas de discriminação e intolerância religiosa.

Além disso, ressaltamos que, segundo o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, o antissemitismo também é uma forma de racismo. Pedimos, portanto, que sejam tomadas as medidas necessárias para a prevenção de crimes como esse em nosso país, a fim de assegurar a promoção dos direitos humanos e a preservação da pluralidade étnica e religiosa que caracteriza a identidade e a sociedade brasileiras.

Jewish and Israeli psychologists say they are afraid to attend the 2026 American Psychological Association (APA) Convention after a coordinated political campaign was circulated through official APA channels urging attendees to wear keffiyehs, recite a scripted "Land and Genocide Acknowledgment" before professional presentations, and attend sessions promoting "Palestinian liberation."

The APA is the largest professional organization of psychologists in the United States, representing over 146,000 members. The "Land and Genocide Acknowledgment" presents deeply contested claims as established fact, denies the Jewish people's ancestral connection to Israel, and makes no mention of the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre, the hostages, or the ongoing trauma experienced by Jews worldwide. Jewish psychologists report feeling pressured to hide their identities, stay silent about October 7, 2023, or distance themselves from Israel simply to be accepted by their professional peers. A professional association dedicated to mental health must not become a space where Jewish members fear for their safety.

Sign the open letter and make your voice heard: The APA must act immediately to ensure that Jewish and Israeli psychologists can participate safely and fully in the 2026 Annual Convention!

📊 These figures demand to be taken seriously. The Community Security Trust recorded 1,926 antisemitic incidents in Britain in the first half of 2026, the second-highest first-half total on record, with incidents up 83% in the three weeks after the attempted arson at Finchley Reform Synagogue.

According to a report by Israel's Kan public broadcaster, terror group Hamas is preparing to relocate its behind-the-scenes operations from Qatar to Turkey, while keeping much of its public activity in Doha. The move comes after Qatar expressed dissatisfaction with Hamas' decision to elect Khalil al-Hayya - a convicted terrorist and key architect of the October 7, 2023, massacre - as its new political bureau chief.

Make no mistake: Hamas' political bureau is not a diplomatic body. It is the command center of a terrorist organization, responsible for financing, planning, and directing terror attacks against civilians. The reported relocation to Turkey - a NATO member state - raises serious questions about Ankara's willingness to host one of the world's most dangerous terror groups on alliance soil.

Britain recorded 1,926 antisemitic incidents in the first six months of 2026 - nearly 2,000 - a 21% rise compared to the same period last year and the second highest figure ever recorded for a first half of a year, according to the Community Security Trust.

Physical assaults reached 135 - the highest six-monthly assault total ever recorded by the organization. In the three days following the terrorist stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green in April, 71 antisemitic incidents were recorded. The week after the US-Israel war with the Iranian regime began in late February, antisemitic incidents in the UK jumped 71% in a single week. A series of arson attacks targeted Jewish sites across London, including four community ambulances.

British authorities have since accused the Iranian regime of using proxies to carry out attacks against Jewish communities in Britain and across Europe. "Behind these appalling numbers are people living in fear just for being who they are," said UK Policing Minister Sarah Jones.

When wildfires broke out across Norway, France, and Spain, it took less than 72 hours for antisemitic conspiracy theories to spread across social media - blaming Jews for deliberately starting the fires.

A new report by Cyberwell, an organization that tracks online antisemitism, found that content related to the Norway wildfires alone surpassed 2 million views on X, while posts about Spain's wildfires reached over 69,000 users. The posts, written in English, French, and Spanish, promoted claims that Jewish people deliberately sparked the fires or orchestrated them for political or financial gain. Cyberwell CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor warned: "The same scapegoating stories, once popular in Nazi propaganda during the Third Reich, now trend on every major social media platform after a crisis. Whether the story involves a wildfire, a disease outbreak, or another international crisis, we repeatedly see the same conspiracy theories emerge within hours."

In a moving state ceremony on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, Israel, the remains of Shimon and Rivka Herzl - grandparents of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism - were reburied beside their grandson's grave, exactly 77 years after Herzl himself was brought home to Israel, fulfilling his final wish.

Their coffins were covered with the same blanket that draped Herzl's in 1949.
