Sky News Australia host Rowan Dean excoriated tens of thousands of pro-Hamas protesters who marched in Sydney and Melbourne over the weekend, following Hamas’s release of a video on Friday showing hostage Evyatar David appearing emaciated and being forced to dig his own grave. “Unless you are holding signs for this man, Evyatar David, this is who you are supporting if you march on the bridge today. You are supporting the people who do it,” Dean said. “Hang your heads in shame; absolutely disgusting,” Dean continued. “You hypocrites, you say you’re doing this for humanity. Where is your humanity for this man? Where is your humanity, you disgusting grubs?” “If you’re a politician and you’re walking out there, don’t ever expect a vote from any sensible Australian ever again,” he concluded. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar posted a photo of a sign held by one of the protesters in Sydney featuring Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Sa’ar wrote, “The distorted alliance between the radical Left and fundamentalist Islam is sadly dragging the West toward the sidelines of history.” “In the picture: Radical protestors at Sydney Harbour Bridge today holding an image of Iran’s ‘Supreme Leader’—the ‘most dangerous leader of fundamentalist Islam, the world’s largest exporter of terror, and a mass executioner.” “Australians, wake up!” Alex Ryvchin, the co-chairman of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, also slammed the pro-terror protestors who marched under a banner entitled March for Humanity, Save Gaza. “Any genuine concern for humanity would have also included the forgotten people held against their will in Gaza, the tortured and broken innocents held underground for nearly two years,” he stated. He also emphasized that the Palestine Action Group, which organized the march, is “the same group that held a pro-Palestinian rally as the October 7 massacre was still unfolding.” On Monday, the left-wing Australian government announced an additional $20 million in humanitarian aid for Gaza.

Afghanistan is seeing its sharpest-ever surge of child malnutrition, the World Food Program said Monday, adding it needed $539 million to help the country’s most vulnerable families. Almost 10 million people, a quarter of Afghanistan’s population, face acute food insecurity. One in three children is stunted. The WFP said the rise in child malnutrition was linked to a drop in emergency food assistance over the past two years because of dwindling donor support. In April, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump cut off food aid to Afghanistan, one of the world’s poorest countries. The U.S. had been the largest funder of the WFP, providing $4.5 billion of the $9.8 billion in donations last year. Previous U.S. administrations viewed such aid as serving national security by alleviating conflict, poverty, extremism and curbing migration. Food insecurity in Afghanistan is being worsened by mass returns from neighboring countries, which are deporting foreigners they say are living there illegally. The WFP said it has supported 60,000 Afghans returning from Iran in the last two months, a fraction of those crossing the border. “Going forward, the WFP does not have sufficient funding to cover the returnee response at this time and requires $15 million to assist all eligible returnees from Iran,” said WFP Communications Officer Ziauddin Safi. He said the agency needs $539 million through January to help vulnerable families across Afghanistan. Climate change is also hurting the population, especially those in rural areas. Matiullah Khalis, head of the National Environmental Protection Agency, said last week that drought, water shortages, declining arable land, and flash floods were having a “profound impact” on people’s lives and the economy.

Synagogues in both Canada and Australia have come under attack in recent days, prompting investigations and renewed calls for action against hate crimes. In Canada, authorities are probing a disturbing act of vandalism at Victoria’s Conservative Congregation Emanu-El — the country’s oldest continuously operating synagogue — where antisemitic graffiti scrawled across the property included genocidal threats and vile slurs against Jews. “Jews are evil! Because genocide is evil! Stop genocide stop the Jews! Jews are murdering thousands of gentile children. In the future Palestinians will get their revenge against you child-killing Jew-monsters!” the graffiti read. The Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver condemned the attack as a “painful reminder that the fight against antisemitism is far from over.” British Columbia’s Public Safety Minister Nina Krieger said that hate-fueled vandalism and intimidation “are criminal acts, not protected expressions.” She confirmed the expansion of the province’s Hate Crimes Unit, tasking it with aggressively investigating hate-motivated offenses and ensuring charges are brought against the perpetrators. Just days earlier, the Canadian government announced its conditional support for recognizing a Palestinian state if the Palestinian Authority implements a series of reforms. The Israeli government has slammed such moves as effectively rewarding Hamas in the wake of its October 7 massacre. Meanwhile, in Australia, police are hunting for a lone suspect responsible for a series of antisemitic vandalism incidents at the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, an Orthodox shul in South Yarra. The shul has been defaced five times between March 11 and July 30 with offensive slogans spray-painted onto its walls. CCTV footage released by Victoria Police shows the male suspect arriving on a black e-scooter, dressed in dark clothing, and covering his face with various disguises. “Police certainly take a dim view of this sort of abhorrent behavior in the public arena,” said Detective Inspector Martin McLean. “We believe the offender is acting alone, but we’re asking the public for any information that could help bring this person to justice.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
A disturbing image circulating online has prompted sharp condemnation from New York State Assemblyman Kalman Yeger and a call for immediate action from the Department of Motor Vehicles. The photo shows a vehicle in Closter, NJ, bearing a large swastika and New York State EMT license plates—despite sources telling YWN the vehicle’s owner is no longer be a certified EMT. In a letter sent Monday to DMV Commissioner Mark J.F. Schroeder, Yeger urged an investigation into the registrant’s credentials and questioned how someone could retain EMT plates while promoting hate symbols. “I’m sure there will be some free-speech nonsense about a vehicle owner’s ‘right’ to paint his vehicle any way he’d like, but I don’t believe he has the right to a New York EMT plate—particularly if he is not actually an EMT,” Yeger wrote. Yeger noted the vehicle, bearing the number EMT 544, poses a unique danger by appearing official. Vehicles with EMT plates may be assumed to have emergency authority or equipment onboard, potentially granting them unearned deference or access in public emergencies. “Kindly have your staff inquire if the vehicle registrant is actually an EMT,” Yeger wrote. “After a simple inquiry, I suspect the department might find ample cause to revoke the EMT plates.” Sources tell YWN that the vehicle belongs to John Kanjiram, a self-described product manager and startup advisor. According to a testimonial written by Kanjiram, he trained as an EMT to support his transition into the medical field. However, those same sources allege that Kanjiram’s EMT certification expired in January 2015—over a decade ago. According to DMV policy, the agency does not routinely verify whether EMT license holders remain actively certified. As long as a registrant continues to pay registration fees, they can legally retain their EMT plates—regardless of their current standing. Kanjiram’s LinkedIn profile makes no mention of current involvement in emergency medical services. Instead, it lists his current title as “Full Stack Product Manager with 3x Startup & AI Experience.” He also appears to be job-hunting, posting publicly two months ago about seeking a new role.

Grocery prices are weighing heavily on Americans. A new AP-NORC poll shows nearly half of U.S. adults say the cost of groceries is a major source of stress, and only 14% say it’s not stressing them at all. Rising prices and lingering concerns over tariffs are fueling anxiety — especially among younger adults, many of whom are turning to “buy now, pay later” services just to cover basic needs.
Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Trump on CNBC, accusing him of breaking his promise to lower costs from day one, pointing to rising prices for groceries, housing, and healthcare. She also slammed his signature legislation, claiming it cut healthcare coverage to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

The vast majority of U.S. adults are at least somewhat stressed about the cost of groceries, a new poll finds, as prices continue to rise and concerns about the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs remain widespread. About half of all Americans say the cost of groceries is a “major” source of stress in their life right now, while 33% say it’s a “minor” source of stress, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Only 14% say it’s not a source of stress, underscoring the pervasive anxiety most Americans continue to feel about the cost of everyday essentials. Other financial stressors — like the cost of housing or the amount of money in their bank accounts — are also broadly felt, but they weigh more heavily on younger Americans, who are less likely than older adults to have significant savings or own property. The survey also found that about 4 in 10 Americans under age 45 say they’ve used what are known as “buy now, pay later” services when spending on entertainment or restaurant meals or when paying for essentials like groceries or medical care. Adam Bush, 19, based in Portland, New York, is one of those younger Americans who has used pay-later services for things like groceries or entertainment. Bush works as a welder, fabricating parts for trucks for Toyota, and makes under $50,000 per year. “I just keep watching the prices go up, so I’m looking for the cheapest possible stuff,” he said. “Hot pockets and TV dinners.” Everyone is stressed about groceries Groceries are one of the most far-reaching financial stressors, affecting the young and old alike, the poll finds. While Americans over age 60 are less likely than younger people to feel major financial anxiety about housing, their savings, child care, or credit card debt, they are just as worried about the cost of groceries. Esther Bland, 78, who lives in Buckley, Washington, said groceries are a “minor” source of stress — but only because her local food banks fill the gap. Bland relies on her Social Security and disability payments each month to cover her rent and other expenses — such as veterinary care for her dogs — in retirement, after decades working in an office processing product orders. “I have no savings,” she said. “I’m not sure what’s going on politically when it comes to the food banks, but if I lost that, groceries would absolutely be a major source of stress.” Bland’s monthly income mainly goes toward her electric, water and cable bills, she said, as well as care of her dogs and other household needs. “Soap, paper towels, toilet paper. I buy gas at Costco, but we haven’t seen $3 a gallon here in a long time,” she said. “I stay home a lot. I only put about 50 miles on my car a week.” According to the poll, 64% of the lowest-income Americans — those who have a household income of less than $30,000 a year — say the cost of groceries is a “major” stressor. That’s compared with about 4 in 10 Americans who have a household income of $100,000 or more. But even within that higher-income group, only about 2 in 10 say grocery costs aren’t a worry at all.
