Canadian series Heated Rivalry fandom are antisemites and antizionists... They want to force one of the actors, Kevin Zegers, off of the show because he converted to Judaism two years ago and wrote a letter supporting the return of the hostages... To be fair, "fans" have targeted the show with all kinds of racist and sexual abuse. https://www.toronto.com/things-to-do/travel/heated-rivalry-and-toxic-fandom-how-a-vocal-minority-is-undermining-the-shows-inclusive-spirit/article_0f6cd5df-bbfe-509e-8f37-4bbe0974cbd1.html

Israel captured of Mo'in al‑Arabid, the head of Hamas’s Internal Security Service. Al‑Arabid has long been tied to some of the group’s worst abuses against Palestinians: torture, intimidation, disappearances, executions, extortion. The reaction to this operation encapsulates the fractured reality in Gaza: immediate outrage over the deadly military incursion and loss of life alongside domestic relief over the removal of a feared security chief. The timing of the special operations raid raises key questions: was it driven by urgent intelligence, election‑season signaling, or an Israeli message that disarmament and withdrawal terms will not soften? What is clear is the reaction inside Gaza. Many Gazans, especially those who suffered under Hamas’s secret police and under al‑Arabid personally, are openly celebrating the fall of a symbol of tyranny. The raid also highlights the growing effectiveness of Israeli-backed Palestinian militias operating in Gaza.
