Anti-Israel Mobs Siege NYC Synagogues; DOJ Demands Mamdani Act

Today's lead: Anti-Israel mobs have besieged New York City synagogues twice in one week — burning Israeli flags, chanting 'Jews go back to Germany,' and clashing with police — while Mayor Mamdani pledges $26M for hate crime prevention and the DOJ's Leo Terrell demands accountability. Also tracking Abdul El-Sayed's surge in the Michigan Senate race, propelled by far-left anti-Israel support, and the NYT's defense of Nick Kristof's blood-libel column amid a firestorm from Israeli officials and Jewish organizations. In the wire: a Gen Z New Hampshire congressional candidate who won't acknowledge Israel's right to exist, a NYC student government move to defund Hillel, and Israel advancing to the Eurovision final despite 'Stop the genocide' chants on the arena floor.
