Israeli minister warns Canada is ‘marching toward the abyss’ after Jewish man attacked in front of children
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney faced criticism for failing to promptly condemn the assault of a Jewish man walking with his children in a Montreal suburb on Friday.
The man was walking with his three children in a park when an unknown individual approached and sprayed them with water. The assailant then physically assaulted the father, knocking him to the ground and tossing his kippah away, a traditional skullcap worn by observant Jewish men.
On Monday, police in Montreal announced the arrest of a 27-year-old suspect in connection with the assault, an incident that has fueled growing calls for the Canadian government to crack down on rampant antisemitism.

«Canada had the chance to change course after the disaster of [former Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau’s tenure, but instead chose to continue marching toward the abyss. It is beyond doubt that a violent incident like the one we witnessed in Montreal draws direct inspiration from the tailwind Canada’s government, de facto, gives to Hamas,» Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combatting Antisemitism Amichai Chikli told Fox News Digital.
«Canada is not yet at the stage of Belgium or the U.K.—both of which have become extremely dangerous for Jews—but it is headed there, slowly and inexorably,» he added.
Carney commented on the incident at 11 p.m. Saturday — roughly a day and a half later — after Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar publicly criticized Ottawa’s response.

«The attack on a Jewish father in Montreal late yesterday, in front of his own children, is an appalling act of violence. Everyone in Canada has an inalienable right to live in safety,» Carney posted on X.
Sa’ar had called him out on X, writing, «The incident shown in this video is shocking and stomach-turning. … These are images reminiscent of dark periods of Jewish persecution. This is appalling.
«The Canadian government must do more to fight antisemitism!» he added.
Although Jews account for less than 1% of Canada’s population, antisemitism was behind 18.8% of all reported hate crimes in 2024. Of the 1,342 incidents classified as religiously motivated, 920, or 68.5%, were directed at the Jewish community.
Richard Robertson, director of research and advocacy at B’nai Brith Canada, noted that just a week earlier a synagogue in Victoria, British Columbia, had been defaced with antisemitic threats, underscoring that Jew-hatred has become a nationwide problem.

«As the situation continues to devolve, Jewish Canadians do not need to be placated with mere lip service. We need our leaders to take clear and unequivocal positions and work vigorously to facilitate change. Anything less only serves to further embolden and enable the vitriolic cohort of our society that continues to attack our community,» Robertson told Fox News Digital.

«What happened in Montreal on Friday afternoon was absolutely horrific. It must serve as a wake-up call for the entire city. This is what happens when civic leaders permit an atmosphere where hateful thugs feel as if they can act with impunity,» he said.
The attack occurred amid a broader climate of intense antisemitism, which recently led Deborah Lyons, Canada’s special envoy on Holocaust remembrance and combating antisemitism, to resign in July — three months before her term ended — citing physical and emotional exhaustion.
It also took place against a backdrop of strained Canada-Israel relations. Canada is one of four countries, alongside France, Australia and the United Kingdom, that have announced their intention to recognize a Palestinian state.
Canada’s former ambassador to Israel, Vivian Bercovici, told Fox News Digital that it’s difficult to discuss the past two years of rising antisemitism in Canada without looking back to October 2015, when former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was first elected prime minister.
«In my view, Trudeau’s approach to the conflict was very unsophisticated. He had a very quickly growing Muslim population in Canada, and he was careful not to do anything to alienate those voters,» Bercovici said.

According to Statistics Canada, the share of the population identifying as Muslim more than doubled over 20 years, increasing from 2.0% (579,640 people) in 2001 to 4.9% (1,775,715 people) in 2021.
«What we’ve seen, as in many other parts of the West, is that they have come and demanded that we change to accommodate them — that we change the way we do things. Some of their most consistent demands concern Israel and Jewish communities, which have increasingly become targets,» Bercovici said.

Russia launches largest attack on Ukraine this month following Trump’s meetings with Putin, Zelenskyy
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Russia launched its largest attack of the month against Ukraine while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders at the White House.
The attack also comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s meeting with Trump in Alaska last Friday, during which Putin refused an immediate ceasefire and demanded that Ukraine give up its eastern Donetsk region in exchange for an end to the conflict that began with a February 2022 invasion by Moscow. Trump later said he had spoken on the phone with Putin about arrangements for a meeting between the Russian president and Zelenskyy.
Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 270 drones and 10 missiles into Ukraine on Monday night and into Tuesday, but that 230 drones and six missiles were intercepted or suppressed. The air force reported that 40 drones and four missiles struck across 16 locations, and debris was said to have fallen on three sites.

«While hard work to advance peace was underway in Washington, D.C. … Moscow continued to do the opposite of peace: more strikes and destruction,» Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha wrote on X. «This once again demonstrates how critical it is to end the killing, achieve a lasting peace, and ensure robust security guarantees.»
Energy infrastructure in the central Poltava region was a target of the strikes, according to Ukraine’s Energy Ministry. The casualty figures were not immediately released by officials.

«As a result of the attack, large-scale fires broke out,» the ministry said in a statement.
Oil refining and gas facilities were attacked, the ministry added, saying the strikes were the latest «systematic terrorist attacks against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which is a direct violation of international humanitarian law.»
The attack was the largest since Russia launched 309 drones and eight missiles into Ukraine on July 31, according to the air force.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 23 Ukrainian drones on Monday night and into Tuesday morning.

Both sides have been targeting infrastructure, including oil facilities.
Zelenskyy had criticized Moscow for earlier strikes on Monday ahead of his meeting at the White House in which at least 14 people were killed and dozens more were injured.
«The Russian war machine continues to destroy lives despite everything. Putin will commit demonstrative killings to maintain pressure on Ukraine and Europe, as well as to humiliate diplomatic efforts. That is precisely why we are seeking assistance to put an end to the killings,» he wrote Monday morning on X.

Los exámenes del Instituto Médico Forense (IML) confirmaron que también fue víctima de abuso sexual, según indicó el sitio R7.
Los sueños de Sther: “Será el mejor año de mi vida”
En las redes sociales, amigos y familiares despidieron a Sther compartiendo las metas que había escrito en un cuaderno para el año próximo: «Terminar la escuela, hacer tres cursos, tener un perrito, enfocarse en el gimnasio y agradecer a Dios todos los días“. Eran sueños simples, pero llenos de esperanza.
Su familia indicó que la joven había iniciado el trámite de su licencia de conducir y se preparaba para mudarse a un nuevo departamento. “Será el mejor año de mi vida”, había escrito Sther sobre lo que esperaba para el 2025. Sther se había fijado varias metas para el año 2025. (Foto: gentileza g1).

Acabó con la vida de mi hermana en el lugar donde estábamos reconstruyendo nuestras vidas. Le quitó la vida a mi hermana. Solo Dios tenía ese derecho”, escribió la hermana de Sther en una publicación de Instagram.
“Estábamos en paz y felices. Tú (el narcotraficante) destrozaste a nuestra familia. Ya entregaste a mi hermana muerta. No tuvimos tiempo de ayudarla. Arruinaste a mi familia. Inaceptable. Mi hermana soñaba con ser madre de un niño, soñaba con casarse. ¿Y ahora qué hago con mi vida sin ti?”, escribió la hermana en otro doloroso posteo.

Según los investigadores, el traficante tiene antecedentes penales por tráfico de drogas, robo, homicidio con arma de fuego, asociación delictiva, portación ilegal de armas, robo de vehículos y lesiones.
Brasil registró cuatro femicidios al día en 2024
Brasil registró en promedio cuatro femicidios por día en 2024, un total de 1459 víctimas, según el diario Folha de São Paulo.
Los datos sobre femicidios comenzaron a ser compilados en 2015, cuando una ley brasileña calificó el femicidio como la muerte de una mujer “causada por la violencia doméstica o familiar debido a su condición” femenina.
Al menos 11.859 mujeres fueron víctimas de este tipo de crimen en la última década en ese país de 215 millones de habitantes, según cifras del Ministerio de Justicia.

La encuesta anual de la ONG Foro Brasileño de Seguridad Pública (FBSP) reveló que el 37% de las brasileñas sufrieron violencia en el último año, es decir, más de 21 millones de mujeres mayores de 16 años, el dato más alto registrado hasta ahora. También indica que una de cada diez mujeres sufrió abuso sexual o fue forzada a mantener relaciones sexuales, que los casos más graves ocurrieron a menudo en el hogar y que solo una cuarta parte de las agredidas acudió a las autoridades.

Trump calls Smithsonian ‘OUT OF CONTROL’ and orders sweeping review of all museums and programming
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump escalated his battle for American culture with the Smithsonian Institution on Tuesday, ordering a broad review of the nation’s leading museums after blasting them on Truth Social as «the last remaining segment of WOKE.» The move was also formalized in a White House letter released in a letter Aug. 12 to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch.
Trump’s post accused the Smithsonian as well as other museums nationwide of pushing narratives that disparage the U.S. rather than celebrate its achievements.
«The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE,’» Trump wrote. «The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL … Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.»
He added: «This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.»

The letter instructs Smithsonian leaders to provide exhibition plans, internal guidelines, and America 250 programming materials for review.
«As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Nation’s founding, it is more important than ever that our national museums reflect the unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story,» the letter stated. «This initiative aims to ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.»
According to administration officials, the review will focus on public-facing content, curatorial processes, exhibition planning, collection use, and overall narrative standards.
The initial phase will target the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Museum of the American Indian, the National Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.

Tuesday’s announcement follows earlier White House criticism of specific Smithsonian exhibitions. On July 5, Fox News Digital reported that officials had singled out the Entertainment Nation exhibit at the National Museum of American History for review.
At the time, White House special assistant Lindsey Halligan said to Fox News Digital, «American taxpayers should not be funding institutions that undermine our country or promote one-sided, divisive political narratives. The Smithsonian Institution should present history in a way that is accurate, balanced, and consistent with the values that make the United States of America exceptional.»
Among the panels singled out by the White House was a 1920s circus poster described as reflecting «the colonial impulse to claim dominion over the world.» Another display reinterpreted the Lone Ranger, comparing the character’s relationship with Tonto to U.S. global dominance. A third panel suggested that Mickey Mouse’s original design in Steamboat Willie drew on traditions of blackface minstrelsy.

Despite the sharp rhetoric, the letter said the White House sees the review as a constructive process.
«Our goal is not to interfere with the day-to-day operations of curators or staff, but rather to support a broader vision of excellence that highlights historically accurate, uplifting, and inclusive portrayals of America’s heritage,» officials wrote.
The timeline requires museums to submit requested materials within 30 days, schedule staff interviews within 75 days, and begin implementing content corrections within 120 days. The corrections, the letter said, should replace «divisive or ideologically driven language with unifying, historically accurate and constructive descriptions.»

White House officials closed the letter by presenting the initiative as a collaborative effort with Smithsonian staff. «We view this process as a collaborative and forward-looking opportunity, one that empowers museum staff to embrace a revitalized curatorial vision rooted in the strength, breadth, and achievements of the American story,» the letter stated.
«By focusing on Americanism — the people, principles, and progress that define our nation — we can work together to renew the Smithsonian’s role as the world’s leading museum institution.»
The White House and the Smithsonian did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
