Islam Doci, 47, of Orlando, Fla., was sentenced to six years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for making false statements to the FBI relating to his activities in support of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on Thursday.

Doci pleaded guilty on Oct.15, 2024.

According to the plea agreement and evidence presented at sentencing, Doci promoted ISIS propaganda online and communicated with ISIS members abroad, celebrating the killing of Americans in their communications. He also sent money overseas and facilitated the provision of funds by others to ISIS, according to the department.

Doci then lied on two occasions when interviewed by the FBI about his involvement with and support of the terror group.

Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, of Park Avenue Synagogue, told JNS that he will address “Yizkor, memory and revelation,” rather than politics, during Shavuot morning services.
“The bill will continue to return our intelligence agencies back to their core mission: the collection of clandestine foreign intelligence to protect our homeland,” said Sen. Tom Cotton.
“There’s much that goes into a security-layered approach, and as far as I’m concerned, you can never have too many layers,” the village’s police chief told JNS.
Removing sanctions on the anti-Israel United Nations adviser “will undermine important national security and foreign policy interests of the United States,” the Justice Department said.
“Reconstruction financing will not follow where weapons have not been laid down,” warned Nickolay Mladenov, amid a stalled peace process he largely blamed on the Gazan terror group.
Regardless of the findings of a recent Democratic National Committee “autopsy” report, a “majority of Americans, including Democrats, support the U.S.-Israel relationship,” Brian Romick, of Democratic Majority for Israel, told JNS.
