NYC Mayor's Antisemitism Strategy Funds Groups Critical of Israel

NYC Mayor's Antisemitism Strategy Funds Groups Critical of Israel

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's $7.4 million antisemitism strategy is under fire as financial filings suggest funds may go to groups critical of Israel. The plan, which omits a formal definition of antisemitism, allocates grants to organizations like the Arab American Association of New York (AAANY), which has funded CAIR and JFREJ. CAIR has faced accusations of anti-Israel messaging and scrutiny over alleged terrorist ties, while JFREJ opposes the IHRA definition of antisemitism and criticizes Israel's actions. Critics note that CAIR-affiliated PACs were major donors to Mamdani's mayoral campaign.

Israeli Court Approves Class Action Against Rami Levy Supermarkets Over Wage Deductions

Israeli Court Approves Class Action Against Rami Levy Supermarkets Over Wage Deductions

A Jerusalem Labor Court has approved a class-action lawsuit against Rami Levy supermarkets for allegedly deducting cash register shortages from employees' wages, a practice claimed to violate the Wage Protection Law. The court found a reasonable likelihood of a ruling in favor of the cashiers, stating that shortages do not automatically constitute a debt that can be directly deducted. The lawsuit seeks to stop deductions, recover past payments, and restore social benefits, covering cashiers employed within the last seven years.
