It's long past time to stop saying "Anti-Semitic violence has no place in our society." Outrage upon outrage confirms that anti-Semitic violence has a large and expanding place in Western societies-that it is supported by many, that it is tolerated by many more, and that it is often appeased or even enabled by governments fearful of confronting large and militant factions within their populations.
Canadian company Premier Tech said on Friday it had broken off its sponsorship deal after the team was targeted by pro-Palestinian protesters at several races this year, with stages of the Vuelta a Espana grand tour in August and September disrupted by demonstrators before the race was abandoned by organisers. The sponsors removed their full name from riders' jerseys at the Vuelta.
Tension is building around Villa Park ahead of tonight's Europa League game between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv. No Maccabi fans will be in attendance, officially at least, after the local Safety Advisory Group decided one of the stipulations for the issuing of a safety certificate would be a blanket ban on Israeli supporters. The reasoning was the prospect of clashes with pro-Palestine supporters over the situation in Gaza which continues to rumble on despite an uneasy ceasefire currently in operation.
The Gaza ceasefire agreement signed on Monday, along with an exchange of captives between Israel and Hamas, did nothing to diminish the resolve of about 10,000 protesters who descended on the small city in Italy's far northeast, a small section of whom were involved in unrest at the end of the march.
Pro-Palestinian protesters marched in several cities in Europe on Saturday, voicing cautious hope with a dose of scepticism as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza entered its second day.

I think what's encouraging is many of the Arab and Muslim states in the region have accepted this proposal, conditionally. The Israeli government has accepted it. And Hamas is entertaining it.
Tens of thousands of people are marching in major cities across Europe to protest against Israel's war on Gaza, with mass rallies taking place in urban centres across the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Protests in Spain's second-largest city, Barcelona, as well as in Madrid, were planned weeks ago, while calls for demonstrations in Rome and Lisbon followed widespread anger after Israeli forces intercepted a humanitarian aid flotilla the Global Sumud Flotilla that had set sail from Barcelona for Gaza, trying to break Israel's blockade of the famine-struck Palestinian territory.
Growing up in the West Bank, Leqaa Kordia was separated from family in Gaza by Israeli restrictions on movement between the territories. So aunts and uncles in Gaza would call from the beach there, allowing Kordia to share her cousins' laughter and glimpse the waves. Now many of those relatives are dead, killed in the war that has destroyed much of the Strip. And more than 200 days after Kordia
A piercing chorus of tooting horns and dockers shouting we don't want you greeted an Israeli-owned container ship when it arrived in Livorno, a port city on the coast of Tuscany this week. For two days, the striking dockworkers stood their ground, refusing to unload and reload the ship's cargo in a display of defiant solidarity for Palestinians and the Global Sumud flotilla attempting to bring aid to Gaza. The protest was a triumph and the ship, bound for the US and Canada, left.

Matthew Freeman, of North Billerica, is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and a civil rights violation, according to court records filed in Cambridge District Court.

In exchange for dismantling the camp and limiting the duration of the protests, Schill agreed to re-establish an advisory committee to review Northwestern's investments, in a gesture to the students' calls to divest from Israel. That agreement was held up as a peaceful alternative to police intervention, something other universities had opted for.
The Vuelta a España is supposed to be a pure battle of watts, tactics, and survival across Spain's most demanding climbs. But the 2025 edition has been defined as much by protests as by racing. Pro-Palestinian protests have repeatedly targeted Israel-Premier Tech, spilling into the road and shaking the safety of the peloton. Now, with Stage 11 in Bilbao neutralized and no winner declared, La Vuelta is fighting to keep its identity as a race intact.
