“The recent murder of a Jewish man near Paris, allegedly by a Muslim man, has reignited concerns about homicidal antisemitism in France — including from Jewish leaders in his native Tunisia.” jta.org/2022/08/31/glo…
“The case is reminiscent of several others that have caused alarm among French Jews and others about whether French police are adequately concerned about antisemitism. The most prominent was that of Sarah Halimi, a Jewish woman murdered by a neighbor, Kobili Traore, 31, in 2017.”
“In 2018, Holocaust survivor Mirelle Knoll was killed by her Muslim neighbor, Yacine Mihoub, & an accomplice. They had targeted her because she was Jewish, a court ruled in 2021, before sentencing Mihoub and the accomplice to life imprisonment & 15 years in prison, respectively.”
28 Senate Republicans introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2022 to "block President Biden’s reported plan to spend upwards of a billion dollars to provide $450,000 per person in taxpayer money for settlements with illegal immigrants."
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI): “The Biden administration is in complete denial of the crisis their policies have created at our border...Offering money to those who break the law will only create a magnet for more illegal immigration."
Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT): “Montana families are struggling with inflation and skyrocketing costs on everything from gas to groceries because of Biden’s wasteful spending policies, and now the President wants to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to illegal immigrants."
