WASHINGTON (JTA) \u2014 Laura Loomer, a Jewish right-wing provocateur known for her anti-Muslim rhetoric, has won the Republican primary for a House seat in the southern Florida congressional district where President Donald Trump votes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary win caps a rapid rise for the 27-year-old political activist, whose provocations \u2014 and the responses to them \u2014 have made her a favorite of the right wing of the Republican Party. In 2017, Loomer, who calls herself an \u201cinvestigative journalist,\u201d was banned from Uber for calling on the rideshare service to allow riders to reject Muslim drivers. In 2018, Twitter suspended her account after she called Rep. Ilhan Omar, then a congressional candidate, \u201canti-Jewish.\u201d Last year, Facebook banned her amid a purge of people the company said used the platform to promote hate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loomer won 42% of the vote in a six-candidate field in the primary on Tuesday. She\u2019ll now face off in November against the Jewish incumbent Democrat, Lois Frankel, who handily bested a challenger from the left, Guido Weiss, with 87% of the vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loomer is likely to lose; Frankel ran unopposed in 2018 and won 63% of the vote in 2016. But she had the endorsement of Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, a far-right figure who is close to President Donald Trump. Trump and Gaetz both congratulated her on Twitter on Tuesday night; so did Marjorie Taylor Greene, a conspiracy theorist who last week won a primary in a heavily Republican district in Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wins by these far-right figures are presenting a dilemma for the party\u2019s congressional leadership, which has sought to marginalize the extremists. While Trump has frequently endorsed the candidates, he did not endorse Loomer during the primary, although they have supporters in common. Trump\u2019s longtime adviser, Roger Stone, endorsed Loomer, and Karen Giorno, an official with Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign, managed her campaign. After her win, Trump tweeted or retweeted five times to congratulate Loomer, an unusually robust display of enthusiasm.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 21st District, encompassing parts of Broward County and Palm Beach, includes Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago resort and is where Trump casts his vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neighbor of Paris synagogue smashes its mezuzah to \u2018restore religious neutrality\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A piece of a broken mezizah hangs on the doorframe of the Yismah Moch\u00e9 Synagogue in Paris, Aug. 14, 2020. (BNVCA)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 A mezuzah was torn off the doorframe of a Paris synagogue in a suspected anti-Semitic incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Lyon, France, graffiti praising Adolf Hitler and featuring the word \u201cJews\u201d was painted on a wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Paris incident, Marc Dayan, the president of the Yismah Moch\u00e9 Synagogue in the 18th district, discovered the vandalism on Aug. 14 after returning from a vacation, according to a statement by the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dayan asked a neighbor if he had seen anything, the neighbor, whom BNVCA did not identity, said he had done it to \u201crestore religious neutrality\u201d to the building. The mezuzah had been affixed to the doorframe for decades, Dayan said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He filed a complaint for an anti-Semitic hate crime with police. BNVCA said the incident was \u201can act of anti-Jewish hatred.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In Lyon, a graffiti reading \u201cHeil Hitler\u201d and \u201cJuden,\u201d the German-language word for Jews, was discovered Tuesday on a wall on a street. Police are investigating the incident in eastern France as a case of anti-Semitic hate speech, BFMTV reported.<\/span><\/p>\n
