Knesset Hopeful Sparks Outrage With Holocaust Comparison

Designated Knesset Member Eliyahu Stark of United Torah Judaism has sparked political controversy by comparing the situation of Haredi Jews regarding military conscription to the Holocaust. His remarks drew sharp criticism from politicians like Avigdor Lieberman and the "Am Israel" Party, who called for condemnation. Stark, who is close to the Prime Minister's office, made the comparison during a discussion about the yeshiva student draft crisis. The "Am Israel" Party also renewed its opposition to Yitzhak Goldknopf potentially joining the coalition.

UK Teacher Blames Jews for Oct. 7 Massacre, Forcing Boy, 9, to Leave School

UK Teacher Blames Jews for Oct. 7 Massacre, Forcing Boy, 9, to Leave School

A nine-year-old Jewish boy in North London has left his state primary school after a teacher blamed Jews for the October 7 Hamas attacks. The school administration reportedly refused to provide antisemitism training for staff, citing a reluctance to engage in politics. This incident follows previous antisemitic experiences the child had at the same school. The family has since enrolled him in a Jewish school, where he has shown improvement. Jewish organizations in the UK have condemned the event and called for action against antisemitism in educational institutions.

Businessman Assaf Rappaport and his Wiz co-founders are nearing a deal to acquire the franchise for McDonald's Israel, managing around 230 branches with 1.8 billion shekels in annual revenue. This follows McDonald's global repurchase of the Israeli operations in April 2024 amid boycotts. Rappaport's group, despite no prior food industry experience, emerged as the sole candidate after competing with other major Israeli business entities. The move signifies a major expansion for the founders beyond their tech ventures.
