1. Report: Israel Revenge-Attacked Iran's Shahid Rajaee Port's Computer System

On May 10, Iranian officials admitted that the computers at the Shahid Rajaee port, on the southern shore of the Persian Gulf, had been hacked the day before. These computers regulate the flow of vessels, trucks and goods in the port, and all this busy traffic was paralyzed for several days as a result. This quickly resulted in huge backups along the roads and waterways leading to the port (Officials: Israel linked to a disruptive cyberattack on Iranian port facility).
According to a Washington Post report early Tuesday, US and foreign government officials are suggesting the attack came from Israel. The Washington Post reports that satellite photographs following the cyberattack showed miles of traffic jams on on the highways outside Shahid Rajaee port on May 9, and another photograph, from May 12, showed dozens of loaded container ships waiting in the water outside the port.
In early May, Fox News cited a senior US official with the Energy Department who said Iranian hackers had targeted several Israel Water Authority facilities, routing the attack through servers located in the United States. The attack was first reported by Ynet, but at that time it was not yet clear who was behind it.
In early May, JewishPress.com reported that Israeli officials at a top secret security cabinet meeting said Iran had 'crossed a red line' with a cyberattack on Israel's water and sewage facilities. The officials said that although the Iranian cyberattack did little damage, it is seen as a 'major escalation' by the Islamic Republic because it targeted civilian infrastructure (Cabinet Sources: Iranian Attack on Israeli Civilian Water Infrastructure 'Crosses Red Line').
Israeli officials said the hackers tried to cripple computers that control the country's water flow and wastewater treatment, and the system regulating chlorine and other chemicals additives. The attack was detected and blocked and no significant damage was done.

Extracts:
Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel of Tel Aviv University, who also serves on the research and development advisory board for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, plotted the rates of new coronavirus infections of the U.S., U.K., Sweden, Italy, Israel, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Spain. The numbers told a shocking story: irrespective of whether the country quarantined like Israel, or went about business as usual like Sweden, coronavirus peaked and subsided in the exact same way. In the exact, same, way. His graphs show that all countries experienced seemingly identical coronavirus infection patterns, with the number of infected peaking in the sixth week and rapidly subsiding by the eighth week.
But what about Italy and their staggering 12% mortality rate? 'The health system in Italy has its own problems. It has nothing to do with coronavirus. In 2017 it also collapsed because of the flu,' Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel told the news agency. 'Indeed, Italy's exceptionally high coronavirus mortality rate is eerily reminiscent of their unusually high flu mortality rates. Supportive of this theory, Germany, has low flu infection and mortality rates and similarly low coronavirus rates. '

3. Who incites the protesters against US Jews?

The events of the past few days show that the phenomena of the Jewish scapegoat is alive and well.
With US cities on fire as a result of rioting and looting following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, anti-Israel groups are doing their best to compare or even blame the Jewish State for Floyd's death and the state of race relations in the US.
At the same time, Jewish stores and businesses were ransacked in Los Angeles, along with graffiti calling on Americans to 'kill the Jews.'
