A Winnipeg cafe owner and her family were believed to have been attacked, with the café trashed and anti-Semitic graffiti, sparking community shock and an outpouring of support. Police, however, say the incident was staged and have charged Oksana Behrendt, Maxim Behrendt, and Alexander Behrendt with public mischief. The family maintains their story, insisting they were victims of hate, and speaking on CBC Radio after the charges were filed. They described themselves as targets and said they did not stage anything, with statements like “In this moment, somebody grabbed me” and “They can find any evidence against anybody.” They also expressed that their business and home were under threat and emphasized their belief that the attack was real. Police maintained that the incident in Winnipeg was staged and that there was evidence of a crime, though not a hate crime. The cafe’s interior still bore signs of investigation as officers worked the scene. The backlash was swift: a Jewish LGBTQ advocacy group moved out of the building, and there was broad concern that the alleged stunt could undermine support for legitimate hate crimes. Community leaders and residents described feelings of betrayal and worry about future incidents, with comments such as “This is a betrayal of the community and a betrayal of also the police” and concerns that people might doubt genuine cases in the future. Court records show the Behrendts faced lawsuits over debts, and the family denied staging the incident for financial gain. They insisted they did not deserve judgment based on what they say is their truth, stating, “I don’t want people to judge us wrongly because we didn’t do it.” The charges were upheld by the court, and the broader community expressed disappointment and anger about the situation. Meanwhile, excerpts noted that hate-crime cases in Canada had risen to an all-time high in 2017, with nearly 2,100 incidents—a 47% increase from the previous year. Attacks on Jewish people accounted for 18% of all hate crimes, with attacks on Muslims a close second. Other items mentioned included international incidents: in Israel, police announced the arrest of an 18-year-old American-Israeli behind a series of bomb threats targeting Jewish communities worldwide; authorities said he used the Internet to mask his location, and the suspect faced a medical examination and legal scrutiny. In North York, a 67-year-old man, Avram Babrovsky, faced arson charges for allegedly setting a fire inside a synagogue, with a history of using his own access card to gain entry. In Schenectady, a man was accused of spray-painting swastikas on his own home, later charged with falsely reporting an incident and harassment. In West Bloomfield, Michigan, police credited technology for solving a case in which Sean Sammett allegedly fabricated an attack on leaving a synagogue; investigators found inconsistencies in his account, including elevated heart rate on an Apple Watch prior to the claimed assault, and evidence suggested he stabbed himself with a knife and used bloody tissues. Sammett was charged with filing a false police report, with authorities noting the impact on real victims and the community’s sense of safety. In Brooklyn and Manhattan, authorities reported 56-year-old David Haddad, who is Jewish, as the suspect in a string of antisemitic messages and swastika incidents, with additional phone threats to kill Jews. In Vancouver, a defamation suit was filed against HillelBC by UBC’s Social Justice Center over “iHeartHammas” stickers on campus; the stickers had circulated during a walkout for Palestine and a contractor who helped distribute them had been terminated. UBC stated it would not comment on the suit, and RCMP said no charges were laid after investigation. Additionally, Amsterdam’s mayor walked back the use of the term pogrom after violence following a match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, amid political fallout from comments by a government official blaming Moroccans for the unrest. A separate report discussed viral video miscaptioning of footage from Amsterdam, showing Maccabi Tel Aviv fans fighting in a way that media outlets had miscaptioned as Jews being attacked; fact-checkers confirmed the video actually showed Maccabi fans chasing a Dutch man, and several outlets issued corrections.

The report centers on a series of antisemitism-related incidents and contested claims across North America and Europe, highlighting how initial reactions to alleged acts of antisemitic violence were later questioned or contradicted. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, the CBC reports that Oksana Behrendt (also spelled Barrent) and her son Maxim, along with her husband Alexander, initially described an attack on Behrendt’s cafe, a break-in, robbery, and antisemitic graffiti. They later faced public mischief charges after police said the incident was staged. Behrendt and her family deny staging it, insisting they were victims of hate. Police say the evidence shows a crime occurred, but not a hate crime. The community reacted with shock and support before the charges, with some Jewish community leaders calling the alleged deception damaging to the broader community and police credibility. The cafe remained under investigation, with the couple maintaining their story as the court process proceeds. A planned interfaith vigil at the cafe was canceled, and a crowdfunding drive to assist the family was taken down amid confusion and anger. Court records show the family also faces lawsuits over debts, which they deny relate to staging the incident. Nationally, the broadcast notes that hate crime reports in Canada reached an all-time high in 2017, with nearly 2,100 incidents—a 47% increase from the prior year. Attacks on Jewish people comprised about 18% of these hate crimes, with attacks on Muslims close behind. In Israel and North America, authorities described a string of bomb threats targeting Jewish communities worldwide, including in the United States and Canada. An eighteen-year-old American-Israeli was identified as a primary suspect behind threats to multiple Jewish centers, schools, and synagogues, including bomb threats that led to evacuations. Israeli police reported that the suspect used online technology to mask his location, and that he had not served in the army due to medical issues; a medical examination was ordered. The suspect was also linked to a 2015 Delta Airlines threat case. The broader implication noted was the ongoing concern over threats to Jewish institutions globally. In North America, other cases included a synagogue arson in North York, and a man in Schenectady who spray-painted his own home with swastikas and was charged with falsely reporting an incident. In West Bloomfield, Michigan, a stabbing reported at a local temple was later determined to be fabricated by Sean Samit; investigators cited the Apple Watch data showing normal heart rates around the time of the alleged attack, and bloody tissues and a knife found at the scene. Samit faced charges for filing a false police report, with officials emphasizing the potential harm to real victims. The transcript also covers campus and local incidents: at George Washington University, swastikas appeared on a student’s door, but hidden-camera footage confirmed the student herself to be the apparent perpetrator; she will face student discipline and possibly criminal charges. In Vancouver, a defamation lawsuit was filed by UBC’s Social Justice Centre against HillelBC over iHeartHammas stickers distributed on campus, which the SJC says were defamatory. UBC stated that the investigation and RCMP involvement had concluded with no charges. Lastly, in Amsterdam, the mayor backtracked on using the word pogrom to describe violence after Ajax vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv football related clashes and ensuing political fallout. The discussion included miscaptioned footage of clashes in Amsterdam, where social media claims that Muslims were hunting Jews circulated, but fact-checkers confirmed the video actually depicted Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters engaging in a fight in front of Amsterdam Central Station. Major outlets were criticized for miscaptioning the footage, and some issued corrections or removals.

Violence erupted in Amsterdam, injuring at least five and leading to numerous arrests. Supporters of Israeli football club Maccabee Tel Aviv arrived for a UEFA Europa League match against Ajax. Videos showed Maccabee fans tearing down Palestinian flags and engaging in racist chants before the game, despite a ban on a pro-Palestinian demonstration. During the match, they disrupted a moment of silence for flood victims with chants and fireworks. Reports indicated Maccabee fans were attacked on the streets, while police arrested 62 individuals. Five people were hospitalized but later discharged. Leaders from Dutch, Israeli, and British communities condemned the violence as anti-Semitic, labeling it a pogrom, but did not address the assaults by Maccabee supporters against locals.

A narrative of alleged Israeli false flag operations is laid out, beginning with 1949 when Meyer Max Bennett, described as a Zionist Jew of German descent, was sent to Iraq by Mossad. There he connected with Mossad agent Youssef Basri and planned a series of attacks on Iraqi Jews, providing maps, instructions, and specific orders to terrorize the Jewish population. From 1950 to 1951 a wave of bombings struck the Jewish community in Iraq, targeting cafes, mechanic shops, and synagogues with grenades and TNT. These attacks coincided with underground Zionist groups urging Iraqi Jews to leave for Israel, resulting in the exodus of about 130,000 Iraqi Jews within two years and aiding Israel’s early demographic needs. The account states these Iraqi attacks are part of a long list of Israel’s false flag operations. Basri was arrested by Iraqi police and executed for involvement. Bennett escaped and later helped organize an even larger false flag operation in Egypt, known as Operation Susanna, beginning in 1952 after Bennett returned under the pretense of a German businessman producing equipment for the disabled. The operation planned Jews to plant bombs inside Egyptian, American, and British civilian targets to blame the Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian Communists, with the aim of influencing the British to retain troops along the Suez Canal. Bombings occurred in Alexandria and Cairo, but the scheme failed when one agent betrayed the plot and Egyptian authorities arrested undercover Jewish operatives, including Bennett. Bennett committed suicide when facing execution. The operation became known as the Lavon affair. Israel denied involvement at the time, but exposure followed later in 2005 when the Israeli president awarded surviving Lavon-affair agents certificates, and again in 2023 when British-Israeli historian Abi Shlaim spoke to a Jewish agent involved in Baghdad, who provided evidence of Israeli culpability. The text asserts numerous reports of false flag operations across decades serving Israel’s interests, including alleged involvement or influence in terrorist acts, and uses these cases to justify speculative claims about more recent or modern attacks being Israeli false flags. It references a connection to nine-eleven, and notes an incident on 10/10/2001 when two Israelis with Pakistani passports, grenades, explosives, and guns were stopped in the Mexican parliament while intending to blame Muslims; Mexican authorities purportedly faced pressure from Israel to suppress reporting. The narrative continues with a 2025 explosion destroying three buses in Bat Yam and Occupied Palestine, with Israeli authorities claiming Palestinian terrorists while asserting it was actually two Jewish Israelis; a media blackout followed. It mentions thousands of bomb threats during Trump’s presidency purportedly made by a Jewish American Israeli, initially used as evidence of rising antisemitism but later alleged to be perpetrated by the same group. It cites a Jewish American Israeli teen accused of making 2,000 threats and attempting to extort a Republican senator, with some calls directed to Australian Jewish centers. In Australia, cases are described as false flag attempts: a Zionist wearing a Star of David cap in a Muslim-owned cafe as part of a staged sting by The Daily Telegraph; two crackheads recruited to spray “kill the Jews” on a car and perform arson against synagogues and restaurants, later revealed to involve dark web recruitment and cryptocurrency payments. Australia is said to have been pressured to blame Iran, though no evidence is provided. The text also references Bondi Beach attacks and online speculation of false flags, arguing that Zionists’ long history of orchestration undermines public trust. A closing note echoes a maxim about deception, followed by a call for viewers to engage critically in the comments and to consider becoming a channel member to support continued production.

Harvard University and MIT are now being criticized for tolerating and possibly encouraging antisemitism. There is little outcry in America about this issue, with conservative media being the only ones discussing it. The media's focus on a fake news story about a noose in Bubba Wallace's garage overshadowed the seriousness of the antisemitic attacks. The speaker emphasizes the need for more attention and sensitivity towards the attacks on Jewish people.

Anti-Semitic mobs on college campuses call for Israel's annihilation, sparking outrage. Allegations of US government ties to Israel, including the USS Liberty incident and 9/11 dancing Israelis, are discussed. Suspicious Israeli art students in the World Trade Center pre-9/11 are linked to Gelatin and E Team projects. Infowars reporter Greg Reese covers these events, urging viewers to visit his website and support Infowars. Infowars promotes turmeric-based supplement for health benefits. Translation: Anti-Semitic groups on college campuses calling for Israel's destruction are condemned. Allegations of US government connections to Israel, such as the USS Liberty attack and 9/11 dancing Israelis, are raised. Suspicious Israeli art students in the World Trade Center before 9/11 are tied to Gelatin and E Team projects. Infowars reporter Greg Reese reports on these incidents, encouraging viewers to visit his website and support Infowars. Infowars promotes a turmeric-based supplement for health benefits.

They faced backlash after being expelled from their 110th country, with claims of a looming holocaust being made. The Israeli government stated that Jews are under brutal attack, describing it as a modern-day pogrom. Critics argue that this narrative is hypocritical, pointing out that similar claims have been made about Palestine for years. The ongoing wars in the Middle East have led to a migration crisis, with millions of migrants entering Europe and North America, which some blame on Israeli actions. This situation has fueled tensions and protests, as the narrative of victimhood is used to justify aggressive actions. In a recent incident in Amsterdam, those who instigated violence faced consequences, highlighting the complexities of these conflicts.

Speaker 0: In February and March 2026, I'll be back on the road in Hull, Gateshead, Derby, and Colchester. 2026 is when they want to cross the line as fast as they can into an AI controlled humanity. We stand up now or we regret it forever. That's four dates. Speaker 0: I recorded an edition of a show for iconic.com called Legacy, relating the content of my books to today. A central concept is what I labeled in the 1990s as problem reaction solution, also known as a false flag. The idea is to create a situation—war, terrorist attack, banking collapse, or something similar—then present the version of the problem you want the public to believe to provoke outrage and urgency. Then you covertly create the problem, evoke a public reaction, and openly offer the solutions you’ve already prepared. Speaker 0: Nine-Eleven is given as a classic example: attack on New York and Washington, blame Arab terrorists, claim Osama bin Laden and the Taliban orchestrated it. The reaction is “do something,” followed by the invasions of Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern countries. In response to Bondi Beach, the point is made that representatives may not truly represent the people, and a global network I call the global cult drives dystopia through digital AI means, operating through governments, intelligence agencies, and militaries worldwide. Even leaders such as presidents or prime ministers may not serve their nations’ people but the global cult’s interests. Speaker 0: One center of this global cult’s operations is Israel, established in 1948 for that purpose. The claim is that leadership claiming to represent Jewish people operates for the global cult rather than Jewish communities, and may even sacrifice Jewish lives to advance its aims through problem reaction solution. The Gaza crisis since October 7 is described as the world’s large-scale trauma, with statements about the Israeli government’s psychopathy and a super psychopathology characterized by a complete lack of empathy and deletion of compassion. The question is whether such leaders can truly have compassion for fellow Jews if they are driven by a broader agenda. Speaker 0: Regarding October 7, the Gaza border fence is described as the world’s most defended border, with sensors so sensitive that even a small animal would be detected. Yet Hamas breached the fence in multiple places, and there were reports of a stand-down by the Israeli defense forces, allowing the cross-border assault and hostage-taking. The outcome, it’s claimed, was used by Netanyahu to justify mass slaughter and destruction in Gaza, with talk of plans to take over land and expel Palestinians. The narrative then shifts to global perception, with some Christian Zionists wavering in support due to Gaza atrocities, and Israel allegedly funding influence campaigns to restore its global image, including money to American politicians and media interests. Speaker 0: When a new attack—Bondi Beach in Australia—occurs, Netanyahu publicly notes a Jewish man disarmed one of the attackers (though a Muslim did so), before retracting. This is presented as part of a pattern: calls to crack down on anti-Semitism, equating anti-Semitism with criticism of Israel and Zionism. The claim is that the only beneficiary is those who use such events to justify censorship and control of information, while the victims, including Jewish people who died or were injured, gain nothing. Speaker 0: The discussion reiterates that mind-control techniques exist and could drive individuals to commit mass violence without full awareness, referencing mind-control concepts like Manchurian candidates. The speaker urges asking “who benefits?” and considering elements of problem reaction solution and false flags in analyzing events, recognizing that appearances of representation do not guarantee genuine representation. For readers interested in more, the speaker directs to their books and content.

A group of boys threatened a police officer, promising harm to a dog. Later, they marched through London streets, shouting anti-Semitic remarks, while the police took no action. This incident highlights the rise of anti-Jewish sentiment. Shortly after, we were violently attacked while leaving a kosher restaurant, making us question the future for Jews in this country. Extremists target us on the streets, and the police remain inactive. In another incident, a pro-Palestinian convoy threatened to rape Jewish women and children in a Jewish neighborhood. The perpetrators then drove through the same neighborhood, spreading inflammatory messages.

Police reports and broadcasts describe a wave of anti-Semitic vandalism and threats, with several surprising reversals and hoaxes emerging over time. In New Orleans area coverage, police say 54-year-old Andrew King spray painted swastikas on his own Chillswell Street home, and the student who appeared to be the victim admitted, through interviews conducted with hidden cameras and increased patrols, that she was responsible for the incident. Authorities indicated Haddad, a person associated with a separate case, is the prime suspect in a rash of swastika incidents in a nearby area, and police sources say he is Jewish. Separately, Israeli police arrested a 19-year-old Israeli Jewish man as the primary suspect in hundreds of bomb threats against Jewish community centers in the United States. Elsewhere, a Winnipeg cafe owner—described as Jewish—faced allegations of anti-Semitic vandalism and threats after a video or report suggested that her family’s business had been battered and daubed with hate graffiti. Community members were shocked and offered support, but authorities later stated the cafe owners had staged the incident and were charged with a crime. The reporting emphasizes that signs of hate reappeared in Brooklyn, with swastikas found on houses and a chilling call reported to someone in the area describing a message that All Jews are going to die—all Jews must die one by one. Further, a sequence of threats was reportedly the work of a Jewish man who had a business dispute with family members; the exchange included denials that the vandalism was staged by the victims themselves, and mention that “We didn’t. We didn’t.” The family asserted they were victims of hate. Oksana Barron and her son Max Ham spoke on CBC Radio after being charged along with Oksana’s husband for public misjudgment or prejudice, insisting their actions contradicted their religious laws. They argued, “It’s against our Jewish law” and emphasized they do not joke about smiles and were not “woke.” A notable development centers on George Washington University, where a student initially believed to be the victim of vandalism was later identified as the person who painted the swastikas herself. The narrative shifted to indicate that “In the end, we found evidence of a crime. It just wasn’t a hate crime.” Media coverage notes the broader pattern of anti-Semitic threats and vandalism, including the claim that a Jewish man was arrested in connection with a spree of anti-Semitic vandalism, described as “strange but true.” Finally, reporters discuss the broader social context: “The Holocaust was just seventy years ago,” and voices recount personal memory and the historical danger of white supremacist violence, including references to Auschwitz and the gas chamber, underscoring the seriousness of hate crimes in the community.

Violence in Amsterdam resulted in at least five injuries and numerous arrests ahead of a UEFA Europa League match between Maccabee Tel Aviv and Ajax. Maccabee fans were seen tearing down Palestinian flags and singing racist songs before the game. A pro-Palestinian demonstration was banned due to safety concerns. During the match, Israeli supporters disrupted a moment of silence for flood victims with chants and fireworks. Maccabee fans reported being attacked by locals, with videos capturing some of the violence. Police arrested 62 individuals, and five were hospitalized but later discharged. Leaders from Dutch, Israeli, and British communities condemned the violence as anti-Semitic, labeling it a pogrom, but did not address the aggression from Israeli fans towards Dutch citizens.

Jonathan (Speaker 0) and Michael (Speaker 2) along with Jonathan Conricus (Speaker 1) discuss the Australia Hanukkah attack, antisemitism, and the political context surrounding Palestinian statehood and Islamist extremism. They also touch on free speech, protests, and potential international implications. - Jonathan’s initial reaction to the Australian shooting: He was not surprised, framing it as part of a broader pattern he terms “globalize the Intifada.” He cites experiences in Australia, including Bondi Beach visits and conversations with the Jewish community, who he says feel betrayed by legislators and exposed by law enforcement. He argues the atmosphere in Australia has allowed antisemitic attacks, with radicals allowed to shout antisemitic slogans and attack synagogues. He accuses the Australian government of being weak and cowed, quick to side with Hamas and Palestinians while demonizing Israel, and contends this climate enabled violence against 2,000 Australian Jews celebrating Hanukkah. He calls for full support and protection for Jews in Australia and for leadership to change its stance toward global affairs. - Netanyahu connection and limiting principle: Michael notes Netanyahu’s August letter to Australian Prime Minister Albanese warning that support for a Palestinian state fuels antisemitic violence and benefits Hamas. Conricus is asked about a limiting principle: could endorsing Palestinian statehood by various figures (Ehud Barak, the UN Security Council’s Oslo-era blueprint, etc.) be linked to such attacks, potentially implicating many figures including Donald Trump? Conricus responds that the situation in Australia goes beyond a mere recognition of a Palestinian state and highlights the disquiet in Israel across political spectrum about linking Israel’s actions to global support for Palestinian statehood, especially after October 7 atrocities. - Protests and incitement: Jonathan argues the protests in Australia, including chants like “gas the Jews,” reflect incitement and a broader systemic failure by authorities who allowed Hamas supporters to dominate public spaces and harass Jews. He recounts encounters with Hamas supporters in Melbourne and claims police and local government enabled harassment against Jews, including demands Jews remove kippahs to avoid incitement. He says hate crimes against synagogues have gone unsolved and that this atmosphere of violence and antisemitism needs to change. - Pro-Palestinian vs pro-Hamas distinction: Michael asks where to draw the line between pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas protesters. Conricus argues the distinction is artificial and notes that polls show Hamas is the most popular Palestinian political group, suggesting that many demonstrators imply support for Hamas even if they do not explicitly say so. He believes the dominant sentiment among protesters on October 7-8 was supportive of Hamas, even if framed as pro-Palestinian nationalism. He also mentions paid protesters, particularly in US/UK campus contexts, but emphasizes ideologically driven protesters. - Free speech and incitement: Michael insists that if protests include chants and actions that incite violence, this becomes a free-speech issue, citing First Amendment protections in the US and contrasting with other countries. Jonathan counters that incitement can justify restriction when it explicitly calls for violence against a protected group, noting that “gas the Jews” crosses lines beyond free speech, and criticizes Australian authorities’ tolerance of violent incitement. - Chronology and retaliation: The participants discuss the October 7 Hamas attack and Israel’s subsequent response. Jonathan clarifies that Hamas conducted an unprecedented, unprovoked attack killing 1,200 Israelis, with later identification of missing and abducted individuals. He describes Israel’s border closure and subsequent major offensive in Gaza. Michael points out debates around whether attackers’ motives included broader geopolitical narratives, while Jonathan underscores the gravity and scale of the October 7 killings and the need to acknowledge the initial atrocity. - Islam and Western integration: Jonathan addresses Islam as a monotheistic faith with nearly 2 billion followers, expressing no issue with Islam as a religion but concern about Islamist ideology and an imperialistic mindset. He cites Sweden’s immigration policy as an example of perceived societal strain and argues for cautions about cultural integration, border policies, and governance standards in Western societies. - Acknowledgment of individual bravery: They remark on Ahmed Ben Ahmed, a Muslim shop owner who helped defend Jews during the Australian attack, acknowledging his bravery and suggesting he should be recognized for valor. - Iran, Israel, and alleged blame: The discussion covers claims about Iran or Israel behind the attack. Michael asserts there is no evidence linking Mossad or Iran to the attack, while Jonathan suggests Iranian involvement is possible but not proven, noting Iranian propaganda and the potential for blowback, while maintaining that the attackers’ exact affiliations remain unclear. They note Iranian condemnation of the attacks, with skepticism about Iranian statements.

A Winnipeg cafe owned by a Jewish family was reportedly vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti, and the owner was allegedly attacked. The incident led to community support, but police now claim the owners staged the event and have charged them with public mischief. The family denies the allegations, maintaining they were victims of a hate crime. Police say they found evidence of a crime, but not a hate crime, expressing disappointment that the family used hate and racism in a disingenuous way. Members of Winnipeg's Jewish community initially considered it a brazen anti-Semitic attack. Now, they worry that if the allegations are true, it damages the community, wastes police time, and may cause skepticism towards future incidents. The cafe and the owner's home were up for sale. An interfaith vigil was canceled, and a crowdfunding campaign was taken down.

Anti-Israel protesters in Canada and the US are allegedly being paid to participate in rallies, according to an investigation by The Sun. The protesters, who appear professional, are said to be actors hired by a group called the Plenty Collective. They are provided with professional signs, banners, and flags, as well as uniforms, food, and drink. The scam is reported to have been happening across North America, with Montreal also mentioned as a location where protesters are being paid. The investigation also reveals that a millionaire tech mogul has funded multiple pro-Palestinian protests. The media and government are urged to uncover the true financiers behind these protests.

Jacob Roth, an attorney with Dillon Law Group, addresses a troubling issue: YouTube blocked ads behind his recent episode of Anatomy of a Lawsuit, titled NYC's antisemitism emergency. He states the episode discussed a rising tide of antisemitism leading to assaults, harassment, and discrimination against Jews, Israelis, and people perceived as Jews and Israelis across New York City, in schools, on the subway, and in institutions. He asserts that YouTube is preventing people from hearing about it and claims the platform labeled the video as containing derogatory harassing content, which he says it did not contain. Roth explains that the episode was about how antisemitism on the streets and in schools imperils people and about legal options for addressing it that Dillon Law Group can help with. He argues that platform censoring speech about harassment does not make anyone safer. He calls it either a serious mistake or, if not a mistake, “really quite malicious.” He emphasizes that Dillon Law Group stands ready to help Jews, Israelis, and everyone else who’s attacked because they’re seen as Jewish or Israeli with any legal challenges they face. He reiterates that people have legal rights under federal, state, and local law, and that they can fight back. The only way this kind of situation stops, he says, is if people fight back. Roth urges anyone who has suffered antisemitic or anti-Israeli harassment at the hands of mobs rising across New York City to contact Illinois Group to see if they can be helped. He closes with a unifying message: they’re all stronger together and you don’t have to suffer alone.

A Winnipeg cafe owner and her family were initially described as victims of a hate-driven attack after the cafe was trashed, robbed, and covered with anti-Semitic graffiti, and the owners alleged they were assaulted. Police later said the incident was staged and charged Oksana Behrendt, Maxim Behrendt, and Alexander Behrendt with public mischief. The family maintains their story, insisting they were attacked and targeted, while the community expresses shock and concern about the implications for real hate crimes. The cafe is still up for sale, and planned interfaith events and crowdfunding for the family were canceled or removed amid backlash and confusion. Police say evidence pointed to a crime, but not a hate crime, and court records show lawsuits against the family for debts; the family denies staging the incident for financial gain. Community responses included fear of undermining genuine anti-Semitic incidents and anger at what some call a betrayal of the community and police. In Canada, hate-crime data for 2017 showed police-recorded hate incidents reaching an all-time high, with nearly 2,100 incidents (up 47% from the previous year). Attacks against Jewish people accounted for about 18% of hate crimes, with Muslim-targeted incidents close behind. International updates included a suspect in bomb threats against Jewish communities worldwide: an 18-year-old American-Israeli was identified by Israeli police as the main suspect, with threats spanning New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. Authorities noted the suspect used Internet-based calling to mask location, and a medical condition was mentioned by the suspect’s lawyer; the suspect was to undergo a medical exam. Separate reporting indicated Israeli police suspected the teen also behind a 2015 threat that led Delta Airlines to divert a flight, and searches included seizures of computer equipment. In North York, a 67-year-old man, Avram Babrovsky, was arrested on arson charges after allegedly setting fire to a synagogue, with investigations ongoing and police seeking more information from the public. In Schenectady, New York, a homeowner, Andrew King, was charged with falsely reporting an incident after painting swastikas on his own home, claiming it was targeted due to his yarmulke. West Bloomfield, Michigan, reported a case where a man, Terren Samit, allegedly fabricated a stabbing at a synagogue. Police credited technology, including Apple Watch data, with helping expose the hoax; Samit faced charges for filing a false police report. Community leaders emphasized not tolerating antisemitism or exploiting police resources, while acknowledging concerns about any impact on genuine victims. In Brooklyn and Manhattan, 56-year-old David Haddad—who is Jewish—was arrested for harassment as a hate crime after distributing antisemitic messages in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and being implicated in related swastika incidents and threats. At George Washington University, a student was found to have painted swastikas on her door herself. The university used hidden cameras and interviews, concluding the student was the apparent victim-dresser, leading to student judicial action and potential criminal charges, with a noted aim of providing help rather than punishment. On Vancouver campuses, a defamation suit was filed by UBC Social Justice Centre against HillelBC over iHeartHammas stickers distributed during a Palestine walkout. HillelBC stated it had terminated its contract with the distributor; UBC and the SJC described harm and a broader concern for safe spaces on campus. The RCMP concluded the Vancouver incident with no charges. In Amsterdam, the mayor walked back her use of the word pogrom after backlash over its political usage, as broader tensions rose with Mor occan-born finance minister resignation following controversial remarks by a right-wing leader. Separately, a viral claim circulated claiming Muslims hunted Jews in Amsterdam; fact-checkers confirmed the video actually showed Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters attacking a Dutch man, not a Jews-hunting mob. Miscaptioned footage prompted corrections from outlets including CNN, BBC, The Guardian, and The New York Times, with the photographer clarifying the true context.

The report centers on the Bermax Cafe vandalism case in Winnipeg, once described as one of the city’s worst acts of anti-Semitism, which later appeared to be a hoax. Oksana Behrendt, Alexander Behrendt, and their son Maxim, the owners, were charged with public mischief after the graffiti incident. In January, they moved to Los Angeles. Bernie Bellen, who knew the Barrents and surveyed the damage, says he has not been in touch with them for over a year and a half. He recalls his initial thought that they would flee, noting they had discussed opening a restaurant in Los Angeles for some time, but he never believed they had the means to do so. Their trial was scheduled for next week. The family filed a motion to appear by video, which was denied. When it became clear they would not attend, a provincial court judge issued an endorsed warrant for all three, meaning that if they return, they would turn themselves in and be out on bail until the trial. One of their lawyers stated they could not afford to come back at that time. The trouble, as explained, is that the COVID-19 pandemic required anyone attending from California to quarantine for at least two weeks before the trial. They would also need somewhere to stay and could not afford hotel quarantines. As a result, they had no choice but to leave.
