A viral video shows a Jewish American Airlines passenger holding a heated argument with a flight attendant and calling her “antisemitic,” because she was wearing a watermelon pin, which has become a symbol for Palestinian solidarity.
The incident ended in police involvement and a widespread public debate on freedom of speech and attitudes towards Jewish passengers, reports the New York Post.

The incident started when the passenger noticed the one of the flight attendants was wearing a watermelon-shaped pin. The pin, which is identified as a pro-Palestinian symbol...
Parashat Vayechi: Know Yourself
What is the greatest blessing you can receive? To truly know who you are. In this week's Torah portion, our Yaakov Avinu bids farewell to his children and blesses them. However, some of them hear not blessings but rebukes, words of criticism.

"The most profound work that a person is called upon to do during his lifetime is to perfect his character traits, the root of his soul. A person can live his entire life without truly knowing himself. The greatest blessing is to achieve an understanding of one’s virtues and faults. Yaakov revealed to each of his children their particular traits. When someone i...
OTTAWA, Canada (TNND) — Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to resign Monday as leader of the country's Liberal Party, according to Canadian outlet Globe and Mail.
Trudeau has led the left-leaning party since 2013 and the nation since 2015. He will reportedly stay on as prime minister until a new leader is selected.
Speculation about the prime minister’s party exit comes as the Liberal Party faces a leadership crisis. Several of Trudeau’s cabinet members resigned in 2024, such as Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
Freeland’s scathing resignation letter acknowledged she and Trudeau had been "at odds about the best path forward for Canada."
