They started popping up on social media one after another on Monday afternoon. Israeli flags blowing in the wind. Israeli flags with pictures of families hugging each other. Israeli flags with the image of a mother and her two daughters smiling, with the words “Am Yisrael chai.”
On Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the images were posted within hours of Rabbi Leo Dee’s plea to post photos of Israeli flags to honor the memory of his wife, Lucy, and daughters Maia and Rina. The 22-year-old and 15-year-old were shot and killed by a terrorist during a car attack on April 7 during Pesach.

Eric Trump says fellow plane passengers came up to hug him when news of his father Donald Trump’s indictment broke Thursday.
“I was on a plane, I was on a commercial flight, when this whole indictment broke,” Trump said on Fox News today. “People were coming up to me, giving me hugs.”
The former president’s son did not stop there: “The support is unbelievable out there because people understand that we’ve literally become a banana republic, that they’ve made a mockery out of our legal system in this country.” Trump’s statement comes after his sister, Ivanka Trump, gave a short, statement in response to the indictment: “I love my father and I love my country,” her statement read. “Today I am pained for both.”

Israeli Opposition leader Yair Lapid blasted Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu in an interview with Channel 12 News and described him as “the biggest con man in the history of the country,” Arutz Sheva reports.
In the interview, Lapid commented on Israel’s recent crisis with the United States. “The Americans know what is happening here, and they report every tweet on Twitter down to the minute,” Lapid stressed. “The crisis arose because they know the truth – they know that Israel is treading on a dangerous path that could end up with us not being the only democracy in the Middle East.”

Nothing short of heroic.

It was a wake-up call for anyone who uses an ATM, especially the newer “tap feature.” Turns out thieves at one ATM in San Francisco’s Mission District poured glue into the card reader so victims would have to “tap” instead – and once they did, the scammers pounced.

Video surfaced Tuesday of the altercation between a 33-year-old man and passengers on a United Airlines flight on Sunday, after the man allegedly tried to open an emergency exit door, stab a flight attendant and threaten everyone on board. Footage obtained by Inside Edition shows a clearly agitated Franciso Torres yell from his seat, “I’m taking over this plane,” around five hours into the cross-country flight from Los Angeles to Boston. “I will kill every man on this plane,” he screams. “Tell them to bring SWAT to shoot me down because they’re going to have to shoot me down today. I don’t care if I’m scaring people.”

Tens of thousands of Israelis joined protests around the country against judicial reforms to reduce powers of the High Court put forward by the right-wing government of Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. This is the ninth weekend in a row that such protests took place.
According to official estimates cited in local media, some 160 thousand people turned out to the Tel Aviv demo. Many more thousands joined smaller rallies in other Israeli cities, with some citing a grand total as high as 250 thousand.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir slammed the protesters as “anarchists,” echoing Netanyahu’s rhetoric.
