A QUICK WORD WITH JI'S JOSH KRAUSHAAR |
It's a testament to the level of security, staff preparation and good fortune that a potential terrorist attack against Temple Israel in suburban Detroit was foiled yesterday. The fact that no one other than the heavily armed perpetrator was killed after driving a vehicle filled with explosives into a synagogue filled with preschoolers, counts as something of a miracle. It's also a reminder of the consequences of what can happen when antisemitism is allowed to become normalized in our society, moving unchecked through our social media feeds and political discourse, all amid the record levels of hate crimes committed against Jews simply for their identity. Even as politicians are reflexively speaking out against antisemitism in the aftermath of the attack, it's hard to forget the poisonous rhetoric many on the extremes have advanced that could easily activate a lone-wolf extremist to commit an unspeakable crime. On the hard left, opposition to Israel's war in Gaza has morphed into accusations of genocide, attacks against AIPAC as a uniquely sinister organization, conspiracy theories that Israel tricked the U.S. into war with Iran and euphemizing the support of terrorism as merely being "pro-Palestinian." Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who has emerged as one of his party's leading anti-Israel voices as he mulls a presidential campaign, had the audacity to say he "stands with" antisemitic streamer Hasan Piker — along with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who has refused to condemn "globalize the intifada" rhetoric and anti-Israel Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner — during the Michigan synagogue terror attack. Former Obama deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes and his "Pod Save America" colleagues are now declaring that anyone who supports the Iran war — a group that may well include some Jewish Democrats in Congress who are sympathetic to the operation's aims, even if they have reservations — should be primaried, and have no place within the Democratic Party. On the hard right, extremist podcasters are broadcasting the most undiluted antisemitism in media since the days of Father Coughlin in the 1930s. Tucker Carlson has devoted much of his show to promoting conspiracy theories about Jews, while other social media influencers have found that attacking Israel and questioning Jewish influence is a ticket to building a niche audience in online spaces. Gatherings of young right-wingers have all too often become cesspools of anti-Jewish hate. Read the rest of 'What You Should Know' here. |

Assailant killed in active shooter situation at Michigan synagogue |
An assailant was killed during an active shooter situation at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Mich., law enforcement officials confirmed on Thursday afternoon. One other person, a security guard, was injured, Jewish Insider's Haley Cohen reports. Probe details: The attack is being investigated as a "targeted act of violence against the Jewish community," Jennifer Runyan, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Detroit field office, confirmed in a Thursday evening press conference. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed to JI that the attack was carried out by Ayman Mohamad Ghazali. Ghazali, 41, was born in Lebanon and entered the U.S. in 2011 on an IR1 immigrant visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen. He was granted U.S. citizenship in 2016, according to DHS. Law enforcement officials did not release information on a possible motive. Read the full story here. |

Michigan synagogue attack seems unlikely to shift DHS funding stalemate |
The car ramming and shooting attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Mich., on Thursday seems unlikely to break the congressional stalemate over funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which has been in a partial shutdown for weeks, Jewish Insider's Marc Rod reports. Among other programs, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Nonprofit Security Grant Program fall under the DHS funding bill, which Democrats have sought to renegotiate to implement new restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, following the deadly shootings of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. Not shifting: Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said that Republicans have tried to fund DHS through a short term stopgap bill as negotiations continue, but Democrats have refused. "It's a dangerous game, and people are going to get hurt," Thune said. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) pointed blame for the lack of NSGP funding toward Republicans, highlighting that they had blocked passage of legislation by Democrats on Thursday to fund and reopen portions of DHS, including FEMA. "Leader Schumer is an ardent supporter of NSGP funding, and this week, Republicans rejected Democratic efforts to fund the program through FEMA, along with the TSA, CISA, and the Coast Guard," a spokesperson for Schumer told JI.

Democratic divide over antisemitism erupts in clash between Third Way and Ro Khanna |
Following a Republican convening this week focused on combating right-wing antisemitism, a prominent moderate Democratic group urged fellow Democrats to follow the lead of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in calling out antisemitism within their own party. "We certainly believe that Cruz was right and our side has a real antisemitism problem too that too many Democrats are failing to face squarely," Matt Bennett, executive vice president for public affairs at the center-left think tank Third Way, told Jewish Insider's Gabby Deutch on Thursday. Speaking out: His comments came after Lily Cohen, a press advisor at the organization, shared a post highlighting Cruz's comments at the Republican Jewish Coalition confab and said she "would love to see more Dems calling out antisemitism on their own side with the same fervor." Cohen specifically mentioned Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the far-left, antisemitic streamer Hasan Piker. "We do believe that Platner has not remotely done enough to explain why he had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years," said Bennett. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), a progressive lawmaker who has been a frequent critic of Israel and pro-Israel activists in the U.S., responded to Cohen's post by saying he stands with Platner, Mamdani and even Piker.

Iranian missile injures 58, damages 300 homes in northern Israel |
An Iranian missile struck northern Israel early Friday, injuring 58 residents and damaging 300 homes in Zarzir, a Bedouin town near Nazareth, Jewish Insider's Lahav Harkov reports. A woman in her 30s was moderately injured by shrapnel in her back; the rest of the injuries were minor, according to Magen David Adom emergency services. Threats from all sides: Soon after the attack, President Donald Trump issued a threat to Iran: "Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today," the president wrote on Truth Social. "They've been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th president of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!" Iranian state TV said that new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei released his first statement since being named to the position earlier this week, after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the initial strikes of the ongoing war with Iran, which began on Feb. 28. In the statement, Khamenei vowed that Iran "will not neglect avenging the blood of [the] martyrs." Read the full story here. |

GOP Sens. Hawley, Schmitt suggest U.S. operations in Iran can wrap up soon |
Both of Missouri's Republican senators, Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt, argued that the administration seems to have largely achieved its key objectives for the war in Iran — a posture that distinguishes him from most GOP colleagues and highlights subtle but emerging divisions among Republicans on the proper scope and duration of the war, Jewish Insider's Marc Rod reports. What he said: "I assume our overriding national security objective when it comes to Iran is to prevent them from getting nukes. And between our bombing last June and in the last … 12 days, I don't know how they're going to reconstitute their nuclear program anytime in, maybe, our lifetimes," Hawley told JI on Thursday. "My point is just that I think the military has achieved a tremendous amount. It has ended [Iran's] nuclear program for all intents and purposes. It has destroyed their navy. It has eliminated most of their ballistic missiles — those are good things. I'd be glad to take that [win]." Eric Schmitt, who is also aligned with the populist wing of the party, likewise emphasized the progress the U.S. has made and pushed for a quick conclusion to the war. Read the full story here. |

Iran's missile capabilities degraded despite recent increase in missile attacks, experts say |
Despite a recent escalation in Iranian missile attacks targeting Israel, experts remain confident that Tehran's military capabilities have been significantly degraded by the U.S. and Israel. U.S. and Israeli officials have touted that Iran's missile capabilities have been severely reduced, with CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper saying Wednesday that Iran's ballistic missile attacks have "dropped drastically," Jewish Insider's Matthew Shea reports. State of play: That may not feel like the reality for Israelis — after four consecutive days of declining missile fire, Iran briefly increased its launches to 46 missiles on Wednesday, a roughly 70% percent increase from the 27 missiles fired the previous day. But the data shows and analysts remain confident that Iran's stockpiles are being degraded. Ari Cicurel, the associate director of foreign policy at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, told JI that the escalated attacks might actually be a "reflection of Iran's degrading capabilities."

A Bridge Too Far: Puck's Julia Ioffe looks at the catch-22 facing Elbridge Colby, the Trump administration's under secretary of war for policy, as the U.S. engages militarily with Iran — a strategy that Colby has long personally opposed. "Colby isn't the first to strike this kind of Faustian — or simply Washingtonian — bargain over the past decade. But for him, as for everyone else, the MAGAfication cuts both ways. On one hand, he has political power and the kind of job that NatSec types dream of. On the other, that power is entirely subject to Trump's whims. 'He's an ideological actor in an administration that has no ideology,' a Democratic member of Congress told me." [Puck] Van Hollen's Venom: In the Jewish News Syndicate, Betsy Berns Korn, chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, raises concerns about Sen. Chris Van Hollen's (D-MD) allegation that AIPAC is "neither" a pro-American nor a pro-Israel organization. "Citizens advocate for stronger alliances with NATO partners, support Taiwan's democracy, promote human-rights abroad, defend labor interests, protect the environment and work to expand trade relationships. That tradition of civic participation is a hallmark of American democracy. Advocacy for a strong relationship between the United States and Israel belongs squarely within that tradition. … Support for this partnership does not make Americans less loyal to their country. On the contrary, it reflects their judgment about what best serves American security, democratic values and global stability." [JNS] Regime Unchanged: The Washington Post's David Ignatius warns that the U.S.' strategy in Iran runs the risk of allowing the regime to stay in place. "If the conflict ends tomorrow, Iran will have lost nearly all its nuclear facilities and scientists, most of its missiles and missile launchers, most of its weapons factories, most of its navy, and much of the command and control for its military, intelligence and security forces. But the regime survives. It has taken America's best punch, and it's still standing. Tiers of senior military, intelligence and political leaders are dead, but they have been replaced by others. There's no sign of a popular uprising. The cadres of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hide among piles of rubble, but they haven't been eliminated." [WashPost] Kurds Force: In New Lines Magazine, Laurent Perpigna Iban spotlights the Kurdish factions that had until recent days been under consideration by the U.S. to lead a ground incursion into Iran. "For the first time in their history, the various Iranian Kurdish factions have found common ground and established a platform for cooperation. … The project is more political than military, laying the groundwork for the protection of Iran's Kurdish population. According to converging sources, discussions about a potential ground incursion do exist, even if such a scenario has not formally been placed on the table." [NewLines] Mind Meld on Iran: The Financial Times' Neri Zilber reports on the close coordination between Washington and Jerusalem on the joint attack on Iran. "The speed and ferocity of the aerial campaign has required extraordinary levels of coordination — from the initial war plan that was put together to the thousands of phone conversations every day between the two militaries. 'It's a mind meld,' said Dan Shapiro, a former senior US defence official and ambassador to Israel. … The close coordination, across the entire chain of command, has involved some 4,000 to 5,000 calls per day — from the chief of staff level down to the hundreds of pilots in the air at any given time, according to the senior Israeli military official."
