EDITOR—The story continues to fall apart. After an impassioned denunciation of “violent and intolerable antisemitism” supposedly victimising the Maccabi football fans, who, as events have shown, may have had ulterior plans for their trip to Amsterdam, the city mayor is now forced to denounce her own opportunistic statements claiming a “pogrom” had taken place.

A Jewish-American film-maker expressed her solidarity with the suffering of the Palestinian people at the Venice Film Festival last September. “I stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and their struggle for liberation.” Her brave statements were welcomed by many in the audience, probably contrary what might have happened if the venue had been in the USA.

EDITORS—Sabby discusses the implications of Trump’s rabid Zioncon appointments, in part because he’s a Zionist by family linkages and predilection (his daughter Ivanka married Jared Kushner, from a prominent Jewish real estate clan), and in part because he’s owned by the uber-Zionist Adelson mob. Overal Trump’s policies remain, as usual, unpredictable.
