Israel’s official X account shared a 14-second video on Tuesday showing a giant digital billboard in New York’s Times Square displaying an image of slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei alongside U.S. and Israeli flags and the message, “The world is a better place without Khamenei—a first step towards a better world.”

The clip was posted three days after Khamenei was killed in a joint U.S.-Israeli strike on his compound in Tehran early Saturday, part of a broader campaign targeting Iran’s leadership and military infrastructure.

The 18 year old allegedly worked with two other unknown individuals, who have not yet been apprehended.

Roy Altman sees his work through the Jewish prism of judges who are “of the people, to understand the community in which they live, their fears, their hopes, their aspirations.”
Jon Husted’s press secretary said he joined the task force because of “violence against Jewish communities on the rise.”
“I can’t recall ever hearing something so absurd from someone in the administration,” Simcha Felder told JNS. “That’s unconscionable and unacceptable.”
