Pro-Russian, Anti-Israeli Hackers Pose Biggest Cybercrime Threats in Germany.
 +
by Reuters and Algemeiner Staff. June 3, 2025.
 +
 +
Cybercrime in Germany rose to a record level last year, driven by hacker attacks from pro-Russian and anti-Israeli groups, the BKA Federal Crime Office reported on Tuesday as the government said it would boost countermeasures to combat it.
 +
 +
“Cybercrime is an increasing threat to our security,” said Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt. “It is getting more aggressive but our counter-strategies are also becoming more professional,” he said.
 +
 +
Some 131,391 cases of cybercrime took place in Germany last year and a further 201,877 cases were committed from abroad or an unknown location, a BKA report said.
 +
 +
The actors behind the hacker attacks on German targets were primarily either pro-Russian or anti-Israeli, said the BKA, adding targets were mostly public and federal institutions.

Columbia protester and self-proclaimed ‘Jew-hater’ had direct link to Hamas’ terror cell, disturbing phone records reveal: DOJ.

Published June 4, 2025, 6:00 a.m. ET
 +
A “Jew-hater” who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus and contemplated setting a student on fire allegedly had a direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group, The Post can reveal.
 +
 +
Tarek Bazrouk — awaiting trial after being indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people — was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for the brigades, according to allegations in federal documents.
 +
 +
The accusation is the first evidence of an agitator receiving information directly from Hamas and taking action during protests on the university campus.

DOJ: Columbia protester accused of ties to Hamas military wing.
 +
The US Justice Department accused a protester who took part in anti-Israel protests at Columbia U. and assaulted Jews in New York of having ties to the al-Qassam Brigades.

Published: Jun 4, 2025, 3:32 PM (GMT+3)
 +
 +
Tarek Bazrouk, a 20-year-old New York resident who participated in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, has been charged by the US Department of Justice with three federal hate crimes for allegedly targeting Jewish individuals during anti-Israel protests in Manhattan between April 2024 and January 2025. Prosecutors allege that Bazrouk assaulted Jewish victims at demonstrations near the New York Stock Exchange, Columbia University, and Gramercy Park.
 +
 +
In addition, the Department of Justice accused Bazrouk of having direct ties to the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization, the New York Post reported. He was also part of a chat group whose members received regular updates from Hamas's spokesman, Abu Obeida.
 +
 +
Court documents reveal that Bazrouk's cellphone contained antisemitic messages and propaganda supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. He allegedly identified himself as a "Jew hater," expressed support for terrorist organizations, and claimed to have members of Hamas in his family.
 +
 +
During a search of his Manhattan residence, authorities discovered weapons and $750,000 in cash. Bazrouk had also traveled to Judea and Samaria and Jordan in late 2024.
 +
 +
Columbia University stated that Bazrouk is not affiliated with the institution. His attorney denied that he had any connection to the al-Qassam Brigades.
 +
 +
If convicted, Bazrouk faces up to 30 years in prison.

Edelstein’s Draconian Demands That Sabotaged A Chareidi Draft Deal.

Likud, Chareidi MKs Slam Edelstein: “Lomdei Torah Will Be Worse Off Than African Infiltrators”.
 +
June 4, 2025.
 +
 +
Sources in the Chareidi parties claim that Yuli Edelstein, the chairman of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, wants to drag Israel to elections, Arutz Sheva reported on Wednesday.
 +
 +
The report comes after the Rosh Yeshivah, HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau, instructed the Degel HaTorah MKs on Wednesday morning to act to dissolve the Knesset after the negotiations on a Chareidi draft law with Edelstein on Tuesday evening failed.
 +
 +
“It cannot be said that Yuli Edelstein does not speak with a lot of logic to the average secular voter in that he demands a draconian law, but along the way he’s throwing the baby out with the bathwater, leading to the exit of the Chareidim from the coalition, elections, and a left-wing government,” a senior Shas official told Arutz Sheva.
 +
 +
A senior UTJ official also slammed Edelstein, saying that “he raised extreme and new demands yesterday compared to recent months – positions that put lomdei Torah in a worse position than Eritrean infiltrators. With such sanctions, how can we be partners with him?”
 +
 +
He elaborated that Edelstein is demanding to impose harsh personal sanctions even on bnei yeshivos who are not included in the draft quotes—including those who declare ‘תורתו אומנותו’—which constitutes a red line for the Chareidi sector.

Machine gun, grenade launchers, Nazi material found during FBI raid in Washington state.
 +
Two suspects were booked “on firearm-related offenses, with additional federal charges likely to be filed,” the Thurston County sheriff said.
 +
 +
(June 4, 2025 / JNS)
 +
Federal agents, who executed a search warrant in Lacey, Wash., found 35 guns, including an MG42 machine gun and short barrel rifles, grenade launchers, explosives, body armor and ballistic helmets “surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia,” Derek Sanders, the sheriff of Thurston County, Wash., stated on Tuesday.
 +
 +
Sanders wrote that the U.S. Army’s criminal investigation division contacted the sheriff’s office for help executing the warrant, which he stated was “a result of a violent robbery and theft of military weaponry-armor” and which involved suspects who “were actively involved in Nazi white nationalist efforts.”
 +
 +
An FBI SWAT team found the weapons, including “multiple rifles” that “were staged at windows throughout the residence,” per the sheriff.
 +
 +
“Two suspects were apprehended and booked into Thurston County Jail on firearm-related offenses, with additional federal charges likely to be filed at the completion of the federal investigation,” Sanders stated. He added that the superior court set bail at $500,000 for each of the defendants, “despite requests to set bail at only $5,000.”
 +
 +
The U.S. attorney’s office in Seattle said that the warrant was related to a federal probe of an “assault Sunday at Joint Base Lewis-McCord, just north of Olympia,” the Associated Press reported. The AP added that the MG42 machine gun is “a type typically supported with a bipod and which was used by German troops during World War II.”

Why does Tucker Carlson want to appease Tehran?

The “woke right” rages against a tougher policy on Iran as well as support for Israel. It’s clear that their motives for wanting to repeat Obama’s folly, which didn’t put America first, are morally questionable.

 +
Jonathan S. Tobin.
 +
(June 6, 2025 / JNS).
 +
 +
There has always been something that didn’t add up about Tucker Carlson’s stands on the Middle East. The former Fox News host, who now has a show primarily seen on the X social-media platform, has always been that rare conservative talker who was, to put it mildly, unenthusiastic about the alliance with Israel. Even more strangely, he appeared soft on an Islamist regime in Iran that hated the United States and had the blood of many Americans on its hands.
 +
 +
But while Carlson’s impact on public opinion has declined since he was booted out of his prominent perch at Fox and relegated to an Internet show, his influence within the inner circles of the Trump administration seems not only undiminished but perhaps increased. None of the controversies surrounding him, including his platforming of Israel-haters, antisemites and Holocaust deniers, has made him radioactive enough to be exiled from the presidential court at the White House or Mar-a-Lago. To the contrary, his show has regularly hosted administration figures in recent months.
