Fox News: Florida hotel discriminated against Arab American group after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack against Israel, DOJ says
A hotel in Orlando, Florida, has settled a discrimination lawsuit with the U.S. Justice Department after canceling a conference for an Arab American group following the Hamas attack on Israel. The DOJ accused the hotel of discrimination based on national origin, stating there were no threats related to the event.
As part of the settlement, the hotel must publicly affirm its commitment to inclusivity, adopt an anti-discrimination policy, and reach out to Arab American groups. The hotel owner denied wrongdoing but agreed to the terms to avoid litigation. The agreement awaits federal judicial approval.

Times Of Israel: ‘Selective indignation’: Rome’s chief rabbi criticizes Pope Francis over Israel remarks
Rome’s chief rabbi, Riccardo Di Segni, criticized Pope Francis for his focused criticism of Israel's military actions in Gaza, suggesting it reflects "selective indignation" and weakens the Pope's moral authority. Di Segni emphasized the need for the Pope to address suffering globally, not just in specific conflicts.
The rabbi's comments came during an annual Catholic-Jewish dialogue event, highlighting tensions over the Pope's recent statements regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza and his failure to mention Hamas's actions explicitly. Relations between the Catholic Church and Judaism have improved, but the Pope's remarks have sparked controversy and accusations of double standards from Israel.
