Mike Huckabee, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Israel, lit a large menorah during a Chabad ceremony in Little Rock, Ark., on the first night of Chanukah, as protesters disrupted the religious ceremony.

“The traditional tune of ‘Maoz Tzur’ drowning out antisemitic protesters,” Chabad stated.

“This blatant antisemitism is unacceptable,” StopAntisemitism stated. “Those responsible should be charged with intimidation and harassment.”

The American leader reportedly told aides he expected fighting to resume with the Islamic Republic after the November midterm elections.
The Israeli military also killed a Hamas terrorist who took part in the Oct. 7 massacre and held hostages throughout the war.
The Israeli military grounds attack and munition-dropping drones as it investigates whether a technical malfunction or enemy interference caused the tragedy.
“When I was a little kid, all the Barbies looked like women I couldn’t relate to at all,” Bryce Gruber, a shopping editor, told JNS.
