"The accusations were medieval: that he “drinks baby’s blood,” runs “shady #Jewish music business deals,” and supports “genital mutilation.”

“This is rhetoric that goes back to the #bloodlibel. I think she borrows a lot from the #Protocols of the #EldersofZion,” #Pauker notes.

When he tried to make peace, the #harassment intensified. She sent voice notes yelling and blaming. When his attorney sent a cease and desist letter, she replied that she wouldn’t stop. And she didn’t.

The harassment followed a pattern: every six months, another message. After he was booked for a #Hanukkah concert at Harbin Hot Springs, his accuser publicly praised #Hamas leader #YahyaSinwar and celebrated the #October7th massacre. The venue canceled Pauker, citing “security concerns.”

Then came the 4 AM emails: “Good luck getting booked at any #music #festival that wants talent, you #Zionist scum of the earth.”

"One of the survivors of the #Hanukkah terror attack on #BondiBeach was given a non-#Jewish-sounding pseudonym when she was admitted to the hospital following the attack, local media reported on Tuesday.

Staff at the #LiverpoolHospital in western #Sydney changed the name of #RosaliaShikhverg to the alias “Karen Jones” in the medical records, possibly in order to “disguise” her identity, an investigation by Sky News found. #NewSouthWales Health Minister Ryan Park has issued an apology to Shikhverg." 🤔

"A man has been #arrested in connection with an #antisemitic #driveby #shooting that targeted the home of a #NewZealand #Jewish family in #Redlands, #California, in December.

The incident occurred on the evening of 12 December 2025, when a vehicle drove past the family’s home — which was decorated for #Hanukkah — and fired multiple rounds at the property. Home security footage captured the attack and recorded a male voice shouting what appeared to be an antisemitic slur.

Several family members were inside the house at the time, but no one was injured."
