Despite years of boycott campaigns and canceled shows, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood says he has no intention of ending his collaboration with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa.

Jewish LGBTQ activist Meir Brauner has left Italy and returned to Israel, saying he no longer feels safe living openly as a Jew in Rome.
Brauner, deputy director of Keshet Italia, says life changed dramatically after October 7. He says non-Jewish friends stopped speaking to him and he was excluded from Rome Pride after refusing to sign a statement accusing Israel of genocide. During last year’s Pride march, Jewish participants were reportedly told that October 7 never happened and were threatened with death.
Today, Brauner says he hides his Star of David necklace, avoids speaking Hebrew in public, and worries people will see Hebrew on his phone.
No one should have to hide their identity to feel safe. The rise in antisemitism is forcing Jewish communities across Europe to choose between their visibility and their security, a choice no one should ever have to make.

Sunny Hostin was called out by her fellow hosts on The View for doing what far too many people do.
Criticizing the policies of a government is always acceptable. But blaming and scapegoating Jews for America`s decision to enter a war with the Iranian regime is not.
No matter your political views, the idea that a tiny country of just 10 million people could somehow drag a nation of more than 330 million into a war is simply absurd.

The music world has lost one of its most influential architects. Clive Davis, the Jewish music executive who helped launch the careers of icons like Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Santana, and Aerosmith, has died at 94. For more than six decades, he didn’t just discover talent, he helped shape modern music itself, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to be heard for generations.
Our thoughts at Creative Community for Peace are with his son, Doug Davis, a valued member of our Advisory Board, and the entire Davis family during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing.

Iran’s World Cup matches are becoming a public rejection of the Islamic Republic. Despite FIFA’s ban on the pre-revolutionary Lion and Sun flag, Iranian fans once again filled SoFi Stadium with the symbol while hundreds protested outside calling for freedom and change.

Cape Verde, a small island nation off the coast of Africa, captured global attention after holding soccer powerhouse Spain to a scoreless draw at the World Cup in their opening match.
In their second match Sunday, Cabo Verde Maccabi Tel Aviv winger — Hélio Varela — scored the tying goal (above) against Uruguay, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
The team has yet to lose a match this World Cup. But the story of this remarkable country goes beyond the pitch. Cape Verde is home to a little-known Sephardic Jewish legacy dating back centuries, shaped by Jews who fled the Inquisition and helped build the country’s commercial and cultural foundations.
A powerful reminder that Jewish history reaches far beyond the places most people expect.
