Following a long tradition of racism in Israeli soccer, some Maccabi Tel Aviv fans sang an anti-Arab chant Thursday before the team’s match with the Dutch team AFC Ajax. They climbed walls to remove Palestinian flags, and burned one in the street. Those who participated in this shameful behavior deserve to be punished — by Dutch authorities, the Europa League, and in an ideal world, Maccabi Tel Aviv itself. Not by vigilantes who wounded at least 10 Israelis in an ensuing antisemitic rampage.

The Only Safe Place for Trans Women in Prostitution in Tel Aviv
A visit to Beit Lina in south Tel Aviv, the only safe home in Israel for adult trans women in prostitution. The organization enables their reintegration into society
Lian, a pseudonym for a 39-year-old woman, returns home from her day working at a supermarket and shares the excitement of her experiences as the deputy manager. She proudly shows off her student ID for her design and fashion studies. For about a year and a half, she has succeeded – for the first time in her life, after 12 attempts at drug rehabilitation and quitting prostitution – to leave all that behind her.

Questions about marriages performed by woman at heart of Bridgeport absentee ballot case
Former Bridgeport employee Wanda Geter-Pataky is in the news once again. But this time, it’s for something she’s doing in New Haven.
Geter-Pataky is also a justice of the peace, and there are questions about weddings she officiated. Specifically, weddings allegedly involving non-citizens and whether they were meant to get around immigration law.
Video from the New Haven Independent allegedly shows Geter-Pataky officiating one such wedding recently at New Haven City Hall.
“Here's this woman who is at the center of a statewide absentee ballot scandal coming in with five, 10, 15 couples at the time to rush them through a process to get married,” New Haven Independent founding editor Paul Bass said during an interview.
NBC Connecticut independently obtained copies of 114 licenses from marriages Geter-Pataky officiated during a 30-day span ending Oct. 15.
Most licenses show one applicant per couple was born outside the U.S. and doesn’t have a social security number, indications they may not be U.S. citizens.
These occurred while she was on paid leave for her Bridgeport city job because she’s accused of absentee ballot fraud in both the 2019 and 2023 mayoral races.
