THE WEEK'S BIG 3
A new ADL report found that extremists crowdfunded more than $6.2 million online in recent years for various nefarious causes. A New Jersey man has been arrested and charged with one count of attempted use of fire to damage a building after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at a New Jersey synagogue on Sunday. Following an Israeli military operation in Jenin, dual terrorist attacks shocked Jerusalem, including a Shabbat assault on a synagogue where a gunman opened fire, killing seven Israelis, followed by another attack on Saturday where two Israelis were wounded. These attacks increased tensions just as Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited the region.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.
