Fox News ‘Antisemitism Exposed’ Newsletter: You won't believe what TikTok was selling

Fox News' "Antisemitism Exposed" newsletter brings you stories on the rising anti-Jewish prejudice across the U.S. and the world.

IN TODAY’S NEWSLETTER:
- TikTok Shop listing of swastika necklace called ‘bold,’ ‘stylish’ sparks outrage
- How 2025 shattered idea that US was exiting the Middle East
- 4 indicted in foiled New Year's Eve terror plot targeting SoCal businesses

TOP STORY: TikTok Shop was selling a swastika pendant necklace that was allegedly pushed to users through targeted ads. The now-deleted listing for the necklace described it as a "bold" and "stylish" piece. "Hiphop titanium steel pendant, bold, stylish, and simple swastika symbol, trendy and unique pendant necklace, suitable for both boys and girls, trendy and niche," the original description read. It also noted that a number of necklaces had been sold. Before the listing was apparently taken down, the description was changed from a "swastika symbol" to a "Buddhist manji symbol."

FOOTPRINT STAYS: Washington talked retrenchment, but 2025 delivered the opposite: American power reshaped the Middle East. U.S.-backed Israeli force, Trump-led diplomacy and regional coordination ended the Gaza war, weakened Iran, collapsed old assumptions and expanded U.S. influence from Syria to the Gulf. The lesson, analysts say, was blunt—strength works, and U.S. leadership still sets the terms.

NEW YEAR'S TERROR PLOT STOPPED: Federal prosecutors charged four alleged extremists with plotting New Year’s Eve bombings across Southern California, including attacks on businesses and ICE agents. Tied to the anti-government Turtle Island Liberation Front, the suspects allegedly built pipe bombs, praised terrorism and coordinated via encrypted apps. The FBI foiled the plot during desert weapons testing, seizing detailed plans before any attack occurred.

GUEST EDITORIAL: Former FBI agent David Zimmermann, who served supervisory special agent in Tel Aviv and now is a senior research fellow at George Washington University, notes that anti-Semitic incidents are up 340% across the world since 2022, and warns that Western leaders must confront Islamist-inspired antisemitic violence before it targets everyone.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "When a platform allows an explicitly antisemitic symbol to be marketed as fashion, it signals a failure to protect Jewish users and a willingness to prioritize engagement over safety," Jewish on Campus, an organization aimed at serving as a voice for GenZ Jews in America, on TikTok Shop's sale of a swastika pendant.

Trump tears into 'average guy' George Clooney who 'complained, constantly, about common sense in politics'

President Donald Trump slammed George Clooney as an "average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics," adding the actor "wasn't a movie star at all" and has garnered "more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies."

In a scathing New Year's Eve Truth Social post, Trump called the "Jay Kelly" star and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, "two of the worst political prognosticators of all time" after the couple's recent announcement that they've been granted French citizenship.

"Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators of all time, have officially become citizens of France which is, sadly, in the midst of a major crime problem because of their absolutely horrendous handling of immigration, much like we had under Sleepy Joe Biden," Trump wrote.

The president also referenced how Clooney "dumped" former President Joe Biden after his infamous debate with Trump in July 2024.

"Remember when Clooney, after the now infamous debate, dumped Joe during a fundraiser, only to go onto the side of another stellar candidate, Jamala(K!), who is now fighting it out with the worst governor in the Country, including Tim Waltz, Gavin Newscum, for who is going to lead the Democrats to their future defeat," he railed.

Trump concluded his post by roasting Clooney's acting career, arguing he is now better known for his involvement in politics than his "very few, and totally mediocre, movies."

"Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies. He wasn’t a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" the president wrote.

When asked for comment by Fox News Digital, Clooney responded with the following statement: "I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We’ll start in November."

Trump's attack comes on the heels of Clooney's recent spat with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, whom he told Variety on Tuesday is "dismantling CBS News as we speak."

Clooney criticized ABC and CBS for settling lawsuits with Trump, telling Variety the networks should have instead said, "Go f--- yourself." 

CBS and ABC have shelled at least $16 million apiece to settle lawsuits brought by Trump. But Clooney, who has been living in France after uprooting his family to get away from the culture of Hollywood, is bothered the networks didn’t fight back.

"If CBS and ABC had challenged those lawsuits and said, ‘Go f--- yourself,’ we wouldn’t be where we are in the country," Clooney told the outlet.

"It’s a very trying time," Clooney continued. "It can depress you or make you very angry. But you have to find the most positive way through it. You have to put your head down and keep moving forward because quitting isn’t an option."

During the interview, Clooney also revealed that while he used to be friendly with the president, political fame has changed Trump over the years.

"I knew him very well," Clooney told Variety. "He used to call me a lot, and he tried to help me get into a hospital once to see a back surgeon. I’d see him out at clubs and at restaurants.

"He’s a big goofball. Well, he was," the actor said. "That all changed."
