Not only "gedoilim" are against Jews going up to Har Habayis so are Muslims against
Here is a bunch of Charedim mocking the Holocaust

More OCT 7 Stories of Real Gedoilim!
Charedim honor their Rabbanim and call them "gedoilim" though those "gedoilim" say that they have "no shaichis " to over 10 million Jews, and they boast about that!
It is interesting to note that the Vayoel Moshe (מאמר ישוב א"י, סימן קמה) refers to Zionists as עמלקים!
"העמלקים התיישבו בארץ ישראל"
Aren't those the words of the meraglim? Asking for a friend.
Let's take a look at what the Gra says about עמלקים!
(ספר אבן שלמה פרק יא, סעיף ח)
"חמש מיני ערב רב בישראל, ובעלי מחלוקת הם גרועים מכולם, והם נקראים עמלקים"
Enough said והמבין יבון
ONE OF THE MOST HEARTBREAKING VIDEOS OF OCTOBER 7 A 5-year-old Israeli girl, trapped under heavy fire while caring for her baby sister, sees armed men approaching. She thinks they are Hamas terrorists coming to kill them. Terrified, trembling, she pleads: “Please, no.” “Are you Israelis?” “Take us.” “I am here with a baby.” Only then does she realize they are Israelis who have come to rescue them. A heroic little girl — just 5 years old — protecting a baby in the middle of unimaginable terror. Some images from that day can never be erased. 10/7 — NEVER FORGET. NEVER FORGIVE. 🇮🇱

Shlomo Katz answers his critics about the "Musical Hallel"
DIN: Personally I don't care how someone davens, after 3,500 years there are Yidden that are going to shul to connect to Hashem, who are we to criticize how they choose to connect to the RBS"O? If you don't like it, keep your boring davening, but let others do it in their own ways. Kol Hakoved, Reb Shlomo!
I’ve noticed that our musical Hallel on Chol Hamoed Sukkos is being discussed on social media.Many were inspired by it. Others criticized it as being some sort of “reformation” of our Avodas Hashem.
The specific, technical question is not new. There is room for debate in the realm of halacha and minhag.
But something else has crept into this conversation, and it must be called out.
Musical Hallel is suddenly being dismissed by some as “a Modox invention.” As a “Zionist” phenomenon. As something that belongs to a supposedly “less serious” stream of Orthodox Judaism.
That’s not a Torah argument.
There is an enormous difference between a halachic debate and saying, “Of course those kinds of Jews would do something like this.”
The first is a machlokes. The second is using Torah language as cover for contempt toward other frum Jews. And we should be intellectually honest enough to know the difference.
You are 100% entitled to believe that another Torah community is mistaken. Torah Judaism has never had full uniformity of minhag, hashkafah, or practice.
But disagreement in this realm demands enough respect for another Torah community to actually engage its position.
And no - labels are not arguments.
“Modox” is not a mareh makom.
“Zionist” is not a legitimate rebuttal.
Our mesorah contains fierce machlokes. Beis Hillel and Beis Shammai were not engaged in a campaign of “let’s all get along.” They believed that matters of Torah were worth arguing about.
But they argued about Torah.
That distinction matters.
Because there is something deeply unhealthy about reaching for Torah language when what you really want to say is that you do not respect the religious world of the Yidden standing across from you.
We can argue more seriously by insisting that we defend Torah ideas with Torah substance rather than sociological cudgels.
If there’s one thing that we can learn on this 3rd anniversary of October 7th, it is perhaps that we need to recover more honest machlokes. The art of holy disagreement while still loving and respecting our brothers and sisters who might not agree with every one of our opinions.
Rav Yitzchak Yosef in panic that his Shas party is losing votes to Ben Gvir so he slanders him!
Rav Yitzchok Yosef the spiritual leader of Shas, saw the latest polls and they show Ben Gvir draining votes from Shas!
So he started a smear & loshon hara campaign against Ben Gvir accusing him of being behind the arrests of the Yeshiva Bochrim that are avoiding the draft!
In the video below he chastises Ben Gvir for going up on the Har Habayis. Ben Gvir has been going up to the Har Habyis ever since I can remember, but it is election season so like a poisoned mouse, he runs around trying to besmirch Ben Gvir! No one is buying Rav Yosef's campaign tactics, and it looks like Ben Gvir is for sure going to have at least 8 seats!
אני מבין שיצא פסק הלכה חדש שמותר לשקר, לפרסם לשון הרע ולהכפיש אדם בתקופת בחירות. אני מודה שגם לא הבנתי את ההיגיון מאחורי הקונספירציה הזו. לכולם ברור שזה שקר מופרך, אבל הצורך במנדטים דוחה כנראה איסורי תורה. לראשונה, ורגע לפני הבחירות - בן גביר אשם במעצר בחורי הישיבות. כך יצא.

Jews targeted in 53% of NYC hate crimes in 2026
Jewish New Yorkers accounted for 245 of the 463 confirmed hate crimes recorded in New York City during the first nine months of 2026, according to NYPD statistics released Tuesday.
The figure represents 53% of all confirmed hate crimes and is 1.2% higher than the 242 anti-Jewish incidents recorded during the same period in 2025.
The NYPD estimates that Jews comprise roughly 10% of New York City’s population, meaning they have been targeted in hate crimes at a rate approximately 10 times higher than their share of the city’s population.
“The most striking trend continues to be antisemitic hate crimes," New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Tuesday press conference, as quoted by JNS.
“So far this year, 53% of all confirmed hate crimes have targeted Jewish New Yorkers, despite Jews making up only roughly 10% of the city’s population," she said. “Those numbers are deeply concerning."
How The British violated International Law in reference to Judea & Samaria in the White Paper in 1939 and is violating that right once again -- right now -- with its new sanctions policy.
European countries led by Britain, Spain and Norway are sanctioning Israel while proclaiming their support for a Palestinian Arab state.
Think about the unbelievable irrationality of this behavior because we saw when Israel disengaged from Gaza and gave it to the Palestinian Authority in 2005, that this led to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack from Gaza on Israel.
It is obvious that a Palestinian Arab state will be a terrorist state aligned with Iran and would be antithetical to all western interests.
It would be pretty much identical for the European countries to be advocating for an Al Qaeda or ISIS state, since the Palestinian Authority has a “Pay to Slay" law that financially rewards mass murderers of Jews and Americans and those who murder the most people get the most money. It is hard to imagine supporting the creation of a state that has such a law and yet this does not stop the European countries or, for that matter, virtually the entire Democratic party in America, to continue advocating for such a state.
When asked why they advocate for this state they attempt to [falsely] claim that the so called "West Bank" (Judea and Samaria) is Palestinian Arab land under international law.
3 years since October 7, Israel is more necessary than ever
by Gary Willig
Three years since October 7, Israel is stronger than ever relative to its enemies. Hamas is a shadow of its former self, its old leadership destroyed, its current leadership being picked off one by one, tens of thousands of its fighters dead.
It has now been over a year since a rocket was fired from Gaza, a period of quiet which southern Israel has not seen in the 21 years since the foolish Disengagement. Hezbollah has likewise been decimated, with its leadership killed, most of its weapons destroyed, and its forces expelled from southern Lebanon.
Their Iranian masters have been unable to help this time. With their leaders also killed, their nuclear weapons program in ruins, their own military might substantially degraded, their economy being squeezed to the breaking point by the American blockade, and traditional supply routes disrupted, Iran has been unable to support its terrorist servants to the same extent it has in the past.
However, while Israel’s enemies are the weakest they’ve ever been, the enemies of the Jewish people in Western countries are the strongest they’ve ever been.
BACK IN ISRAEL: Previously Missing Mother and Daughter Mali and Liel Yahalomi Return
Mali and Liel Yahalomi, the Israeli mother and daughter whose disappearance abroad sparked a search in August, landed at Ben Gurion Airport on Wednesday afternoon aboard a flight from Athens.
The pair exited the terminal wearing matching outfits and did not speak with reporters waiting outside. Authorities did not appear to attempt to detain them.
Mali, 50, and Liel, 23, were located in Buenos Aires on August 14, approximately a week after their whereabouts became unknown in Vienna, Austria.
Israel Police confirmed at the time that the two had been found on an intercity bus in the Argentine capital.
The mother and daughter had failed to board their scheduled return flight from Prague, raising concern about their whereabouts.
Their travels began with a flight from Israel to Prague, followed by a visit to Vienna. They apparently traveled through Frankfurt before eventually reaching Buenos Aires.
Their arrival Wednesday marks their return to Israel nearly two months after they were located in Argentina.
