The Lawfare Project announced on Monday a new partnership with Ken Belkin of Spodek Law Group to offer pro bono legal services to victims of anti-Semitic assaults.

“We’re here to help victims navigate the criminal justice system and make sure their interests are represented,” said The Lawfare Project. “If you or someone you know has been the victim of an anti-Semitic attack, please contact us today.”

Ken Belkin of Spodek Law Group said “we’re proud to work with The Lawfare Project to support the Jewish community during these trying times. Our firm has an excellent reputation and extensive experience working within the New York criminal justice system, and we’re excited to pool our resources with The Lawfare Project’s top-notch network of legal professionals.”

The Lawfare Project and Spodek Law Group are already representing Lihi Aharon, an Israeli woman was left bleeding following an anti-Semitic assault on the New York City subway earlier this month.

According to the ADL, there were 1,879 anti-Semitic incidents in 2018, the third-highest number ever recorded by the ADL since it started keeping track in 1979.

“Look across the map,” the Pennsylvania senator said. “It’s like how much anti-Israel rhetoric you can cram into your platform.”
“I’m seeing an intensity of antisemitic attacks,” Gov. Ned Lamont told JNS. “A lot of it is energized by what’s happening in the Middle East and on social media.”

The ruling follows a Board of Immigration Appeals determination that Mohsen Mahdawi is deportable, a decision he is now challenging in federal court.
Rabbi Raphi Steiner told JNS that he worries that his son is growing up in an environment “wondering why some hater decided it would be a good idea to write on his shul that Jews don’t belong here.”
“Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republican of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as president of the United States of America, canceled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,” the president said.
