| | + | Article: Protests in France centered on domestic issues such as schools, teachers, wages, and the cost of living, yet Palestinian flags repeatedly appeared while French flags were less visible. Palestinian flags also dominate many anti-Israel demonstrations in London, while pro-Israel gatherings display Israeli and British flags. Palestinian symbolism has spread into protests with unrelated demands, accompanied by slogans such as “Free Palestine” and “from the river to the sea.” Photographic galleries from Magnum, AFP, and TIME showed destruction, clashes, looting, and police confronting rioters but largely omitted Palestinian flags. AFP photographed a Palestinian flag that appeared in a gallery published by The National. The absence of these flags from selected photo galleries obscured the Palestinian political presence at the demonstrations. Carrying a Palestinian flag does not establish why someone attacked police or looted a shop, but the flag remains relevant to understanding the political symbolism at protests about French domestic problems. |

| | + | [[Ted Cruz]] described Abdul El-Sayed and James Talarico as two of the most radical political candidates in the country. Cruz accused El-Sayed of [[antisemitism]], hostility toward Israel and Jews, and maintaining ties with Hasan Piker despite Piker's hateful statements about African Americans and stating Americans deserved September 11 attacks. Cruz reminded El-Sayed had defended the Muslim Brotherhood in opinion pieces and urged [[Mohamed Morsi]] to purge [[Egypt]]'s press and police. He cited El-Sayed's sister's statements stating their family's support for the Muslim Brotherhood and his father-in-law's leadership of an Islamic organization identified as an unindicted co-conspirator in the [[terroristic] [[Holy Land Foundation]] criminal case, which involved funneling more than $12 million to [[Hamas]]. Cruz warned that El-Sayed could gain access to highly classified intelligence as a senator and argued that he might share sensitive information with [[Muslim Brotherhood]] terrorists, endangering American military personnel and intelligence assets. |

| | + | Greg Gutfeld criticized El-Sayed for framing tensions between Black and Arab communities as conflicts between identity groups rather than individual behavior and ideology. Dana Perino said El-Sayed was failing to expand his coalition and was trailing the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in a poll. She argued that Black voters were not as culturally progressive as Democratic Socialists wanted and criticized El-Sayed's campaign style as arrogant, insincere, and evasive. She said his inability to answer direct questions had prolonged scrutiny of his family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. Jesse Watters attributed tensions between [[Arab]] and Black residents to competition over businesses, theft, and ethnic friction. He argued that El-Sayed was presenting himself as one of the “good Arabs” while criticizing others in his community. Watters also said El-Sayed's strategy of campaigning in college towns and suburbs while neglecting Detroit had nearly cost him the primary, and his later attempt to consolidate support came too late. |

His identity has not been publicly released. Self said defending the United States against radical Islam required the same commitment to sacrifice that he had demonstrated during his 25 years of military service. |

The group, Nonnegotiable Michigan, sent him a letter after nearly six weeks without a response to requests for dialogue about his statements on Israel. The coalition said El-Sayed appeared not to understand how contemporary antisemitism is often fueled by hostility toward Israel. In an interview with ABC News, El-Sayed said Israel was not a true friend of the United States and argued that Israel had drawn America into an unnecessary war with Iran. He said an ally that uses American money to push the country into wars it should not fight is not an ally. |

| | + | Israeli actress and model Sarai Givaty filed a defamation lawsuit seeking 500,000 shekels from UN Special Rapporteur [la Fascista] Francesca Albanese. Givaty said Albanese shared a shortened video of her discussing extremism and children growing up to become terrorists, then compared her remarks to Nazi justifications for killing children during the Holocaust. Givaty’s original comments addressed indoctrination and extremism and did not advocate killing or harming children. The social media post received more than two million views, tens of thousands of shares, and approximately 93,000 likes. Givaty subsequently received hateful messages and direct threats, and said the post damaged her reputation, personal safety, and professional prospects. She condemned the comparison as false. Her attorney, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, accused Albanese of conducting an antisemitic campaign against Israel and spreading defamatory statements, and said the lawsuit seeks to hold her accountable for her speech. |

She acknowledged that antisemitism specifically refers to hatred of Jews). |
