Schumer Endorses Vicious Antisemite Adbul El-Sayed
Endorsing Adbul El-Sayed today is a clear all-time low point for @SenSchumer.
— Prof. Jeffrey Lax (@CUNY_Prof) August 5, 2026
Schumer will go down as one of the most traiterous Jews in world history.
He'll also soon be primaried out of politics by El-Sayed's friends.
Schumer is truly evil.https://t.co/MIPSpqzyZ5

Ger Rebbe Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter met this week with New York Satmar businessman Yoeli Landau to discuss creating a multimillion-dollar legal fund to challenge Israel’s enforcement of its military draft law, including filing complaints against the country with international bodies, according to an investigation broadcast by Israel’s Channel 13 News.
The report said Landau, a wealthy member of the anti-Zionist Satmar movement in the United States, proposed financing a legal organization that would represent ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students facing arrest over enlistment orders and pursue complaints before the International Criminal Court in The Hague and other international forums.
According to recordings aired by Channel 13, participants argued that Israel’s enforcement of the draft law discriminates against the ultra-Orthodox community and compared police handling of anti-draft demonstrations with other protests. During the meeting, one participant asked whether, after exhausting legal options in Israel, it was permissible to seek help from foreign authorities. Alter replied that the matter “should be asked of the rabbis.”
Channel 13 said the meeting highlighted growing cooperation between Ger, Israel’s largest Hasidic dynasty and a leading force within the ultra-Orthodox political party United Torah Judaism, and members of the anti-Zionist Satmar movement over opposition to the government’s military conscription policies.
The report drew criticism from opposition lawmakers, who accused the participants of seeking to take Israel’s internal disputes to international institutions. Neither Ger, nor Landau immediately responded publicly to the report.
A Man after my own Heart! Chardeie Starts a New Party in Israel .." answers will not come from the existing Charedi parties"
Around a year ago, the Charedi community suddenly seemed to become the subject of every front page, television debate and political confrontation in Israel. Questions about Torah study, military service, education, employment and the relationship between Charedim and the state were no longer being discussed quietly. They had become the center of a national storm.
Much of the public discussion was hostile, simplistic and disconnected from the reality of Charedi life. Yet as I watched our established Charedi political representatives respond, I became increasingly troubled. Their answer to every attack was another accusation. Their answer to every difficult question was another slogan. There was anger, blame and endless talk about what could not be done, but almost no serious discussion about what could be done.
So I decided to listen. I traveled across the country and met Charedim from different communities, backgrounds and stages of life. I spoke with avreichim and working fathers, mothers struggling to support large families, educators, business owners, young people trying to find their place and those who had already begun to feel that there was no place for them at all. I listened to people from Chassidish, Litvish and Sephardi communities, including those who remain deeply connected to the existing institutions and those who increasingly feel pushed to their margins.
The details differed, but the message was remarkably consistent: people were not happy. They did not feel represented. They did not believe their voices were being heard. Many felt trapped between two political camps, neither of which truly understood them. On one side were those who spoke about the Charedi community as a problem to be solved, often proposing measures from outside without understanding our values, responsibilities or way of life. On the other side were the parties that had claimed to represent us for four decades, but had become more effective at preserving their political power than addressing the mounting difficulties within our homes and communities.
The people I met did not want to abandon Torah life; they wanted to protect it. They did not want outsiders to dictate their future, but they also understood that refusing to confront reality was placing that future in danger. They asked difficult but necessary questions. How can a father support his family with dignity without feeling that he must choose between earning a living and belonging to his community? What future is being offered to a young man who is not suited to full-time Torah study? Why are educational options so limited for those who need a different path? How can military or national service be made appropriate for those who are able and willing to serve without requiring them to sacrifice their religious identity? How can genuine Torah learners receive the respect and support they deserve while other members of the community are given the tools to build independent lives?
These questions are not attacks on the world of Torah. Ignoring them is what threatens the world of Torah. That listening campaign led to the establishment of HaTzibbur HaCharedi – The Charedi Public Party, a new political home for Charedim who believe that protecting Torah requires responsible leadership, honesty and practical solutions.
We stand for strengthening genuine Torah study, expanding educational and professional opportunities, enabling dignified employment, developing appropriate frameworks for military or meaningful national service, and helping Charedi families become more economically self-reliant.
None of this means weakening our identity or allowing others to determine who we should become. It means ensuring that every member of our community has a place, a future and the ability to contribute according to his or her circumstances and abilities.
The answers will not come from opposition politicians who seek to impose their worldview and plans upon us. They do not possess the trust, understanding or cultural sensitivity required to produce lasting change.
However, after many decades of political representation without meaningful progress on the central challenges facing our community, we must also acknowledge that the answers will not come from the existing Charedi parties. If they were going to provide those answers, they would have done so by now.
The answers must come from within the Charedi community itself. Those without connections, without access to the portals of power. They must be developed by people who love Torah, understand Charedi life and recognize both the pain within our community and our responsibilities to the wider Jewish people. At the same time, they must be advanced through cooperation with other parts of Israeli society.
We cannot secure our future through hermetic isolation, nor can Israel build its future through coercion. A strong Charedi community and a strong Am Yisrael are not competing goals. They depend upon one another. Israel needs a Charedi community that is confident, economically secure and able to contribute its values and talents to the country. The Charedi community needs an Israel that respects Torah, protects religious life and treats Charedim as partners rather than as a burden or an enemy.
We have spent too many years shouting past one another. The result has been greater poverty, deeper alienation, growing resentment and diminishing trust. We now have a small window in which to choose another path. HaTzibbur HaCharedi – The Charedi Public Party was created because our community deserves more than excuses, and Am Yisrael deserves more than endless confrontation. We can protect the world of Torah, restore dignity and opportunity to thousands of families, and build a healthier relationship with the rest of Israel. But first, the Charedi public must finally be heard.
The writer is Chairman of HaTzibbur HaCharedi – The Charedi Public Party, a new political home for Charedim who believe that protecting the world of Torah requires responsible leadership and practical solutions to the challenges facing our community. We stand for genuine Torah study, increased educational options, dignified employment, appropriate military or national service, economic self-reliance and a stronger partnership between the Charedi community and all of Am Yisrael.

Ireland Removed Israeli Navigation Tech From Its Government Jet, Now It Struggles to Land in Fog
This story is too funny to be true!
Ireland’s new €53 million government jet was ordered without FalconEye, an Israeli-developed vision system that helps pilots identify runways, obstacles and airport lighting through fog, darkness and other low-visibility conditions.
The technology, developed by Dassault with Israel’s Elbit Systems and normally standard on the Falcon 6X, can permit approaches in weather that would otherwise force an aircraft to divert. Irish officials reportedly excluded it because installing the system would have required a written procurement agreement with Elbit.
Ireland’s Department of Defence insists the aircraft faces “no current limits” on its operational capability. Aviation sources say the jet remains safe and operational, but pilots now have fewer landing options in severe fog and may need clearer conditions or an alternate airport.
The decision is especially striking because other new Irish military aircraft still contain Israeli technology, including Elbit-linked helicopter avionics and Israeli-made radar, where officials determined the systems could not practically be excluded.

Watch Charedeim Chase, Harass and threaten another Charedie who just enlisted in the IDF
When a Community Turns on Its Own
Let’s speak plainly.
What we saw in those videos below is not a “rare incident,” not a “fringe group,” and not a “misunderstanding.” It was hundreds of Charedim — from different sects, different neighborhoods, different backgrounds — all converging with one purpose: To threaten, intimidate, and silence one of their own.
And for what crime?
Not heresy.Not betrayal.Not immorality.
His “crime” was daring to challenge the single most sensitive nerve in the Charedi world:the refusal to serve in the Jewish army that protects Klal Yisrael.
That’s all it took.
One man expressing a view that threatens the ideological bubble — and suddenly the full weight of communal pressure, mob intimidation, and orchestrated outrage comes crashing down on his head.
This is not accidental.This is not spontaneous.This is what happens when a community builds an identity around a single dogma and treats any deviation as existential danger.
Whenever someone inside the Charedi world steps outside the accepted script — whether it’s military service, academic study, women’s education, reporting abuse, or challenging leadership — the reaction is immediate and brutal:
mobs in the streets, coordinated harassment, threats, social isolation, pressure on family, pressure on employers, pressure on rabbanim, pressure on anyone who dares to stand near the “offender”
This is not about one man.This is about a system that cannot tolerate internal dissent.
The tragedy is that the man they attacked wasn’t calling for the destruction of Torah. He wasn’t calling for assimilation.He wasn’t calling for rebellion.
He was calling for responsibility — for Jews to defend Jews. For a community that benefits from the protection of the IDF to share in the burden of that protection.And for that, he was treated like a criminal.
There is a difference between loving Torah and worshipping a system. There is a difference between preserving tradition and enforcing silence. There is a difference between disagreement and intimidation.
What we saw was not “Torah.” It was fear. Fear of losing control.Fear of losing the narrative.Fear of losing the ideological wall that keeps the community insulated from the rest of Am Yisrael.
And the question remains:
If a community reacts with such violence toward one of its own for simply suggesting that Jews should defend Jews — what does that say about the strength of the ideology itself?

Iranian rabbi calls to assassinate Trump, Netanyahu
By World Israel News Staff
A senior rabbi in Iran castigated Israel and pointed to opposition to military service among Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jews, days after calling for those responsible for the death of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to be killed.
Rabbi Younes Hamami Lalehzar, a leader of Iran’s Jewish community, made the latest remarks to Iranian media while discussing Judaism, justice and the distinction he draws between the Jewish religion and Zionism.
Hamami said monotheistic religions were founded on compassion, kindness and divine mercy, but argued that mercy must be accompanied by justice.
He cited the biblical account of Cain and Abel and said the deliberate killing of an innocent person was among the gravest possible sins. A person who unjustly takes a life, he argued, must face a fair trial and could be subjected to the death penalty.
Hamami also asserted that the spilling of innocent blood could be atoned for only by imposing justice on the person responsible.
“Mercy and justice are two principles that complement one another,” he said, warning that emphasizing mercy without enforcing justice could allow wrongdoing to spread.
Hamami then accused the State of Israel of committing crimes against civilians and sought to separate Judaism from Zionism.
He described Zionism as a political movement that has faced Jewish opposition since its emergence and claimed that resistance grew after the establishment of Israel.
“A group of ultra-Orthodox Jews opposes the policies of the Zionist regime and is not willing to serve in its army,” Hamami said.
Most ultra-Orthodox opposition to IDF service is rooted in demands to preserve exemptions for full-time yeshiva students and protect the community’s religious way of life. While some small ultra-Orthodox groups are explicitly anti-Zionist, Israel’s major ultra-Orthodox factions participate in the Knesset and have served in numerous Israeli governments.
The remarks came shortly after Hamami participated in an Iranian conference titled “Fulfilling the Promise of Revenge,” which focused on retaliation for the killing of Khamenei.
Khamenei was killed on February 28 in the opening US-Israeli strikes of the 2026 Iran war. His death was confirmed by Iranian state media.
At the conference, Hamami invoked Torah passages concerning bloodshed and punishment while calling for the deaths of those he blamed for the operation.
“The murderers of Supreme Leader Khamenei must be killed,” Hamami said.
He cited a verse from the Book of Numbers stating that land polluted by bloodshed cannot be cleansed except through the blood of the person who spilled it.
Hamami said he preferred to describe Iran’s promised response as “blood vengeance,” arguing that the phrase was more precise than the general term “revenge.”
Iranian state coverage of the conference presented his remarks as an argument that retaliation should be understood as the pursuit of justice rather than an emotional act of anger.
Homayoun Sameh, the representative of Iran’s Jewish community in parliament, has made similar calls for retaliation against Trump and Netanyahu.
Sameh said those who ordered the operation against Khamenei should be punished and urged Tehran to move beyond speeches and slogans by carrying out successful operations against those it held responsible.
“I expect those who ordered the killing of Ali Khamenei to receive their punishment soon,” Sameh said.
He added that Iran’s enemies should understand that the governing principle would be “an eye for an eye and blood for blood.”
Sameh said Iran should cause the people of the US and Israel to “regret and suffer” over the killing of the country’s leader. He described revenge as a legitimate right and argued that failing to retaliate would expose Iran to further attacks and casualties.
At the Tehran conference, Sameh also accused Western governments and international news organizations of applying a double standard to violence carried out by the US and Israel.
“For years, the Islamic Republic of Iran was accused of supporting terrorism,” he said. “Today, they remain silent in the face of attacks by the United States and the Zionist regime against Iranian commanders, officials and civilians.”
Sameh sought to ground Iran’s threatened retaliation in Jewish tradition, referring to the Torah’s demand that punishment correspond to the offense committed.
Iran’s Jewish community is the largest remaining Jewish population in the Middle East outside Israel. Estimates generally place its current population at between 10,000 and 15,000, down from roughly 100,000 before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
