The anti-Israel rhetoric of the Sánchez government has fueled a wave of virulent anti-Semitism in Spain post-Oct. 7 attacks—hatred that continues to this day. The decision to recall its ambassador from Tel Aviv is the latest step in Spain’s one-sided, hostile and irresponsible policy toward Israel.
We are outraged by Spain’s decision to downgrade relations with Israel. Amid Israel’s and the United States’ operation against the terror regime in Tehran, Madrid recalls its ambassador—not from the Islamic Republic, but from the Middle East’s only democracy.
#OTD 14 years ago, an Islamist terrorist began a series of horrific attacks in Toulouse and Montauban, France, murdering a rabbi and three young children at a Jewish day school, and two French soldiers.
We forever remember the victims and stand with the French Jewish community.

Sid Caesar didn't just perform comedy—he invented the blueprint for it. 🎭

To the players, coaches and staff: Your leadership reminds us all what it means to be proud of who we are—and to never back down. You are, and will always be, Upstanders.
With gratitude and admiration, Mazal tov, Team Israel! 🇮🇱⚾️
#WBC2026 #WorldBaseballClassic #TeamIsrael #YallaIsrael
Team Israel has never shied away from its identity. The players have spoken openly about anti-Semitism and embraced the responsibility that comes with wearing “Israel” across their jerseys—amplifying that message across the world.
For many Israelis watching from home—often between missile alerts and trips to shelters—nine innings of baseball offers something rare right now: a moment of normalcy, unity and pride.
This recognition is not for a box score, but for the courage of a team that stepped bravely onto the world stage.
As Israel confronts escalating threats from the Iranian regime, these players, coaches and staff didn’t just play the game—they carried the resilience of an entire people with them.
Pride doesn’t end with the final out.
As Team Israel prepares for its final game of the 2026 World Baseball Classic tonight, we are honored to present the team with our Upstander Award. 🏅

As our Director of Legislative Affairs Rabbi Eric Fusfield told JNS:
“Far from remaining ‘aloof from politics,’ as UC policy requires, faculty have used their classrooms and resources to promote incendiary anti-Israel propaganda. Jewish students are paying the price.”
B’nai B’rith helped lead a coalition of more than 120 organizations urging the University of California Regents in a joint letter to confront professors spreading anti-Jewish hatred in their classrooms. @uofcalifornia.bsky.social
At a time of especially heightened alert, #antisemitism can no longer be whitewashed, minimized or ignored.
We thank Belgian authorities for their clear condemnation. But what is needed now is action. Belgium urgently needs a national action plan against #antisemitism, a dedicated national coordinator and the resources to implement concrete measures.
🚨 Explosion at Synagogue in Belgium 🚨
Around 4 a.m., an explosion targeted the synagogue in the Belgian city of Liège, shattering windows and damaging nearby buildings.
We are relieved that no one was injured, but the attack is a stark reminder that Jewish communities remain constant targets.
We commend Paraguay for becoming the first country to file a brief supporting Israel in the case brought by South Africa before the ICJ.
Paraguay’s leadership—together with partners like Argentina—reflects an important shift in Latin America toward stronger cooperation with the U.S. and Israel.
In a new JNS op-ed, B’nai B’rith CEO Dan Mariaschin calls out lawmakers downplaying Iran’s decades of terrorism—warning that willful disregard for history blinds Washington to national security threats.

B’nai B’rith CEO Dan Mariaschin attended a Megillah reading tonight in Tel Aviv, celebrating our deliverance from a tyrant bent on our destruction in ancient Persia.
The analogies to today’s campaign against equally tyrannical enemies could not be clearer.
U.N. SR Ben Saul is “disappointed” in Ukraine for supporting the joint military operation against the Iranian regime that is complicit in attacks against Ukrainian civilians.
The UNHRC continues to fill the special rapporteur ranks with activist academics who are wildly out of touch with reality.
We strongly support the decisive actions taken by the U.S. and Israel in response to the ongoing and escalating threat posed by Iran.
We stand firmly with Israel and commend U.S. and Israeli forces confronting these dangers.

But Albanese is too deep in a conspiracy-theory mindset to understand that.
Once again, she proves the United States was right to sanction her for being a threat to American interests and national security.
Anti-Semitic U.N. Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese tweets that this war is about “Greater Israel.”
NO. This war is about achieving lasting security for Israel, the rest of the region and really, the rest of the world—including, we hope, the oppressed Iranian people themselves.
We commend POTUS for clearly explaining the rationale behind military action against Iran. The Islamic Republic remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terror—fueling instability, arming proxies and threatening its neighbors. Iran poses an existential threat to Israel, the ME & global security.
Thank you to JNS for including us in coverage of President Trump’s State of the Union.
In response to the address, we reaffirmed support for ending Iran’s nuclear program and stopping Tehran’s terror sponsorship and threats against Israel, and welcomed the return of all Oct. 7 hostages.
