Rabbi Dov Lior Faces Criminal Probe Over Olive Harvest Ruling

Rabbi Dov Lior Faces Criminal Probe Over Olive Harvest Ruling

Israeli law enforcement is considering a criminal investigation into Rabbi Dov Lior for a religious ruling permitting Jews to harvest olives from Arab-owned groves in Judea and Samaria. The ruling, based on the belief that the land belongs to the Jewish people, suggests Arabs have abandoned the fruit. Authorities are investigating if the ruling constitutes incitement to theft, though it contains no explicit call for violence. The rabbi stated the harvest demonstrates Jewish ownership and fulfills a religious commandment.

French Riots Fuel Online Antisemitic Attacks Blaming Jews

An analysis by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) reveals that France's recent riots were exploited for a coordinated online antisemitic campaign blaming Jews and Israel for the chaos. The report documented over 1,300 posts linking the riots to Jewish people or Israel, with some calls for violence. This pattern of blaming Jews for crises has been observed multiple times recently, with social media platforms amplifying extremist messages. CAM's CEO called for decisive action from French authorities and platform managements.
