Ye’s Apology Is Not Enough
Canada did the right thing.
Iran’s football chief Mehdi Taj (an IRGC-linked official) was turned away from a FIFA meeting in Vancouver after it emerged he had initially been granted special entry despite Canada’s own designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
A regime that slaughters 30K of its own civilians (especially its athletes) should not be should not be normalized on the global stage.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino invited the Israeli and Palestinian football leaders to stand together for a photo.
The Israeli representative agreed.
Jibril Rajoub, a convicted terrorist who served 17 years in prison, refused and walked away.
This was unprofessional and deeply disappointing. Rejecting a simple moment of shared humanity should never be controversial in sport or anywhere else.

A warning from British actress Maureen Lipman: antisemitism in the UK is approaching levels she compares to 1933 Nazi Germany, following the Golders Green stabbing in which two Jewish men were seriously injured.
“This is 1933,” she said, describing what she and others see as an escalating pattern rather than isolated incidents.

We thank @boygeorgeofficial for consistently standing with the Jewish community, especially in the wake of yesterday’s violent, targeted attack outside a synagogue in Golders Green.
The silence from so many in the creative industries is upsetting and shows us once again that when it comes to Jews, too many choose silence.

The forced closure of “Gila and Nancy” in Berlin is pure antisemitism.
Eyal Shani, an internationally acclaimed Israeli chef, and his team were met with threats, violence, and sustained harassment simply for who they are. Boycotts that target individuals on the basis of their identity straight up hatred against Jews.
Food and culture are meant to build bridges and community. That is precisely why they were targeted. These tactics seek to dehumanize Israelis and push toward a reality where Jews are once again driven out of public and economic life in Europe.

Even a benefit concert for terror victims couldn’t escape division. In Sydney, an event for Bondi victims was cancelled after members of a Greek choir refused to perform with a Jewish group, citing political objections and safety concerns. Jewish organizers say they were “de-platformed,” exposing how antisemitism is now breaking even spaces meant for unity and support.
