Jewish leaders and Democrats are calling Florida’s proposed Shari’a ban hypocritical and unconstitutional. The bill’s sponsor and sole Democratic co-sponsor are both Jewish and pro-Israel. Critics say the bill, filed on the Oct 7 anniversary, amounts to collective punishment of Florida’s Muslim community.

Florida Rep. Hillary Cassel, who switched from Democrat to Republican last year over Israel, has filed the ‘No Shari’a Act’ to ban Islamic law from state courts.

Less than 24 hours after President Trump publicly called on Israel to stop bombing Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by killing at least 61 people — including four civilians desperately seeking food for their starving families. United Voices says the moment of defiance exposes the gap between American rhetoric and the reality of what U.S. support is enabling.
