THE WEEK'S BIG 3
Four Israelis were killed on Tuesday in a terrorist stabbing attack at a shopping center and gas station in Beersheba, with a number of others injured in the attack. A group of about 20 neo-Nazis made an appearance on the route of South Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade Sunday, upsetting many onlookers, parade organizers, and local officials. Two Jewish institutions, one in Missouri and one in Pennsylvania, were the targets Wednesday morning of what the Anti-Defamation League described as identical bomb threats that invoked Ukraine, the latest in a “spate of bomb threats” that it is tracking.
