Following the arrest of Mohammad Al-Saadi, who allegedly orchestrated a string of attacks on Jewish targets in Europe and the US on behalf of Iran, Tress tracks the details shared by the suspect, who spoke freely with investigators, highlighting his use of social media to recruit operatives and noting that all Iranian proxies are related to one another.
Marking one year since the firebombing attack at a Colorado rally for Israeli hostages that killed an elderly woman, Tress explores patterns of support among anti-Israel groups for perpetrators of violent hate crimes.
After a bogus Miss Israel appeared at the Israel Day Parade in New York, Tress discovers that the Miss Universe franchise is now privately owned by a Florida enterprise, and has little relation to Israel or Israeli culture.
