Armed Security Guard Stopped Detroit Synagogue Attack

- Dan Senor notes 140 children were in the temple's school and credits a well-trained, armed security guard for preventing a massacre.
Attacker Had Reported Hezbollah-Linked Family In Lebanon

- Senor links those family ties and losses as part of early reports about the assailant's background.
Why This Is A Pandemic Of Jew Hatred

- He argues leaders' silence and use of dog whistles are making this hatred politically permissible and contagious.
