U.S. Intel Reports China Preparing Massive Missile Shipments to Re-Arm Iran

New intelligence reports reveal that China is moving to send advanced surface-to-air missiles and anti-tank weaponry to Iran, potentially shattering the fragile ceasefire in the region. 

Despite Beijing’s public role as a mediator, these covert shipments are designed to replenish the Iranian military after weeks of devastating American strikes that killed much of their strategic hardware.

The delivery, which includes shoulder-fired MANPADS and sophisticated missile systems, is reportedly being routed through third-party countries to avoid detection. 

WILD - CIVIL WAR BREAKS OUT BETWEEN MONKIES

 WILD - CIVIL WAR BREAKS OUT

The article below cannot figure out what exactly triggered the collapse, but I believe the chimpanzees were watching the civil wars in Satmar, Bobov, Ger, Ponovoitz, Sadeger etc.

 A rare and deadly split has erupted inside one of the world’s largest known wild chimpanzee communities in Uganda’s Kibale National Park, where a once-unified group fractured into two rival factions after years of internal tension. 

Since then, scientists have documented repeated attacks and at least 28 confirmed deaths, including adult males and infants, in what some reports are calling a chimp “civil war.” Researchers still do not know exactly what triggered the collapse, but theories include group size, competition, leadership struggles, and disease.

Iran threatens to attack US Navy ships entering Strait of Hormuz after first American vessels moved through channel

 US Navy ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since the start of the war — as Iran threatened to attack any US vessels that entered the strait. 

“Several” American military vessels crossed the channel Saturday in a move that “was not coordinated with Iran,” Israeli journalist Barak Ravid reported, citing intelligence officials.

At least two were US Navy guided-missile destroyers, according to reports.

President Trump seemingly confirmed the opening of the passage in a Truth Social post that claimed Iran was “LOSING, and LOSING BIG!”

“We’re now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to Countries all over the World, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many others. Incredibly, they don’t have the Courage or Will to do this work themselves,” Trump wrote.

“Very interestingly, however, empty Oil carrying ships from many Nations are all heading to the United States of America to LOAD UP with Oil. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Trump reiterated the sentiment in a follow-up post, saying: “The United States has completely destroyed Iran’s Military, including their entire Navy and Air Force, and everything else. Their Leadership is DEAD! The Strait of Hormuz will soon be open, and the empty ships are rushing to the United States to ‘load up.'”

The assertion serves as a massive message to Iran as it continues to demand sovereignty over the strait as a condition to end the war.

Tehran justified its threat to target the ships, saying the US was moving a destroyer toward Iran in a “possible cease-fire violation,” according to a report.

The fast-moving developments unfolded as US and Iranian officials met for negotiations Saturday in Pakistan.

Could it be Possible that the "Rasha" of the Haggada is a Charedie???

DIN: I published the article below LAST Pesach, I just read it again and it feels like I just wrote it... since it is still very relevant, I am posting it again! 

What? Are You saying that Chardeim are "rashaim?"

Are you being serious?? 

So before we take this apart, let's ask the time-honored question!

What is really the difference between the "Chacham" and the "Rasha?' 

After all they are basically asking the same question!

?חכם: מה הוא אומר? מה העדות והחוקים והמשפטים אשר צוה ה' אלוקינו אתכם

 "What are the testimonies, decrees and ordinances which Hashem, our G-d has commanded YOU!"

?רשע: מה הוא אומר? מה  העבודה הזאת לכם

"Of what purpose is this work to YOU?"

Yes the Chacham added "Hashem Elokeinu" but he like his brother the Rasha says the word  "YOU" meaning he is excluding himself!

Now, one could possibly say that the "Chacham" is no "Tzaddik" after all the Baal Haggada on purpose doesn't call him a "Tazadik" "righteous' but calls him a "Chacham" "Smart "so it is no wonder that he says "YOU", he is excluding himself as well, he is "Smart" enough to know what would trigger his father at the seder table and so to pacify him, he mentions G-D, that's why he is called "The Chachem" but he is no "Tzadik!" 

The Givonim also said to Yehoshua "Hashem Elokecha" when they were deceiving him!

There are probably a million explanations for this dilemma; every single year a hundred brand new Haggadas are published with another thousand new ideas on what the author of the Haggada meant! 

This year I walked into shul, and a little charedie boy was clutching his homemade haggada which he colored in school. When he got distracted, I picked it up and saw lo and behold 4 cartoons of the "arba banim" ... the four sons! 

The "Chacham" wore a Shtreimel" of course, and the Rasha was wearing a Kippah but was holding a smartphone in his hand! 

Now, I'm confused, because I know that his father has a smartphone. I'm wondering when the child colored the Rasha and made sure that he didn't color out of the lines, if he for one second gave thought that his own father with the Shtreimel could also be a Rasha!

Wow! A Rasha and Chachem all rolled into one!  I am certain that the father did not notice the caricatures of the 4 sons, but if he didn't, someone in the household will, and then what?

Which got me thinking, going back to the question, what is the difference between the Rasha and the Chacham, I thought that there must have been more to the statement of the Rasha that the Baal-Haggada left out! 

To find out what else he could have said, I figured out that the answer must be on how we respond to the Rasha, which would tell me the difference! 

And sure enough, the response is as clear as day!

לכם ולא לו, ולפי שהוציא את עצמו מן הכלל כפר בעקר

He says "To YOU" thereby excluding himself. By excluding himself from the community, he denies the basic principle of Yiddishkeit"

Wow! Pretty strong words "Koifer Be'ikar!" 

The hagadda talks about Paro, talks about Lavan, yet here when we are talking about a "SON" the Baal Haggada uses language that I only saw in the Vayoel Moshe vis-a-vis the Rabbanim that support the Zionists in the Knesset! 

The Baal Haggada doesn't even call Paro a "Koifer"!

So what's up with that?

It looks as if "excluding one's self from the community," which the Shulchan Aruch frames as someone being  פורץ גדר "breaking the fence," is called a Rasha!

 Shloime Hamelech says in Koheles פורץ גדר ישכנו נכש ..... "A snake should bite a poirtz geder"

The "Chacham" the smart one, though he too took himself out of the community, the tone of his question was possibly not as defiant, and by adding "Hashem our G-d" ...the father gave him the benefit of the doubt, but know that he is no "Tzadik!"

What does all this have to do with us??

Those of us who live in Israel ran to the shelters yesterday on the first day of Pesach! In fact, fragments fell in Chevron!

We are still at war with savages that want to kill us all, only because we are Jews! 

Just over the weekend, an Imam based in Jordan told the entire world that the war has "nothing to do with land," it is about killing all infidels, and he added that if the Jews gave back the entire Land of Israel, it would still incumbent on Muslims to either convert them or to murder them! The only ones that don't believe this Imam, is the Israeli Left, Satmar, Neturi Karta and BMG in Lakewood 

Last week, the week before Pesach, people on the local chats were asking families to invite the widows and orphans of this war for the seder. They were asking people to invite the "Living" widows the living "orphans" whose husbands and fathers will not be at the seder because they are at the front! All the Dati publications were asking families to not forget them and include them.

However, I perused the Hebrew Yated, the Chareidie Chadash, Hapelas, etc and couldn't find an honorable mention of the widows and orphans! In fact reading the Charedie news media, you would not even know that we are at war! They are totally disconnected! Not only won't they do anything to help the country that is so good to them, not only won't they show Hakaras Hatoiv to those on the front, they call them  "Garbage Cleaners" 

They are being "moitzeh themselves from the klaal"; they are excluding themselves from the community, they are being פורץ גדר and to fool the Father they mention G-d! .... אשר צוה ה' אלוקינו!

וכאן הבן שואל

Hungary Stabbed Israel in the back offering Intelligence to Iran

 Hungary Offered Intelligence To Iran After Hezbollah Explosions

A report claims Hungary offered to share intelligence with Iran following the 2024 Hezbollah pager explosions in Lebanon.

Leaked transcripts show Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto telling Iran that Hungarian intelligence would provide “every possible document.” 

Separate leaks also suggest Hungary shared sensitive EU-related materials with Russia, raising concerns over its alignment.

Some are saying that Pakistan's Defense Minister is a Closet Satmarer

I think that this is far-fetched, though every word he said is taken right out of the Satmar handbook on the State of Israel! In fact, I have to admit, that when I first heard that speech, I asked myself, "where did I hear these words before?"

Also, I saw a video where Pakistan's DM was "mishing" with fellow vicious "medina" haters and in Satmar we have a minhag not to "mish" on Pesach, he should have waited till Pesach Sheni!

 Meet the mediators: Pakistani minister exposed

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif sparked outrage after calling Israel “evil and a curse to humanity” even as Islamabad positions itself as a mediator in the war between the US, Israel, and Iran. 

In the same post, Asif claimed Israel was created “to get rid of European Jews” and said those who founded the state should “burn in hell.”

His remarks came as Pakistan prepares to host talks related to the Iran war and calls for de-escalation. The rhetoric stands in stark contrast to its diplomatic role, raising serious questions about Islamabad’s credibility as a neutral broker at a critical moment in regional negotiations.

Are the Miracles Happening Now in Israel much Bigger Than Yezias Mitzrayim!

Last week, I had a back-and-forth with a man who calls himself “Naftuli.” He argued that the Jewish people cannot have a State until Moshiach comes. When I asked for his sources, this self-proclaimed Talmid Chacham quoted a Gemara in Pesachim (87b):

“ברוך הוא בישראל שפזרן לבין האומות” — A kindness did the Holy One, Blessed be He, for Israel by scattering them among the nations.

Naftuli claimed that this dispersion was a divine favor, protecting us from annihilation, and therefore by extension disallows a State, which any reasonable thinking person would say makes no sense.

But history tells a different story. In 1944, six million Jews were murdered in Europe. Those who had made Aliyah earlier—often against rabbinic advice—survived. Jews living in Israel were not harmed!

His citation, while interesting, proves nothing about the halachic legitimacy of establishing a Jewish State.

When I didn’t respond to his “proof,” he wrote again, insisting that I had ignored the words of Chazal

"But I posted the words of חז"ל were it says צדקה עשה ד לישראל שפיזרו בין האומות

I guess you ignored this one,"

. I didn’t ignore him—I simply hoped he’d realize that his argument didn’t address the issue. His position was that Jews must remain in Chutz La’Aretz until Moshiach comes.

I have a source that predates the statement in Pesachim by about 800 years: the prophet Yirmiyahu.

כֵ֛ן הִנֵּה־יָמִ֥ים בָּאִ֖ים נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה וְלֹא־יֵאָמֵ֥ר עוֹד֙ חַי־יְהֹוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֧ר הֶעֱלָ֛ה אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

כִּ֣י אִם־חַי־יְהֹוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר הֶעֱלָ֜ה אֶת־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ צָפ֔וֹן וּמִכֹּל֙ הָאֲרָצ֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר הִדִּיחָ֖ם שָׁ֑מָּה וַהֲשִֽׁבֹתִים֙ עַל־אַדְמָתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָתַ֖תִּי לַאֲבוֹתָֽם׃

“Therefore, behold, days are coming, says Hashem, when it will no longer be said, ‘As Hashem lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but rather, ‘As Hashem lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ And I will bring them back to their land which I gave to their fathers.” (Jeremiah 16:14–15)

This prophecy describes a miracle greater than the Exodus itself.

When Hashem took us out of Egypt, all Jews lived in one place. There wasn't a Jew that lived anywhere else.

At the end of days, says Yirmeyahu, Hashem will gather us from every corner of the earth—a far greater miracle. Anyone living in Israel today witnesses this prophecy unfolding before their eyes.

During the first days of Pesach, I stayed at a simple hotel in Jerusalem—no singers, magicians, or boring speakers, just Jews celebrating together. In the hotel’s shul, I met Anglos, French, Yemenites, Syrians, Lebanese, and Spanish Jews—all under one roof. It struck me that we are living the fulfillment of Jeremiah’s words, watching the ingathering of exiles happen in real time.

The same Masechta Naftuli quoted also tells of Jews who witnessed miracles in Egypt yet refused to go to Eretz Yisrael. They said, “Why go to Israel? There are Canaanites—or Tziyonisten—there!” Those Jews remained or died in Egypt and never entered the Land.

Just a few months later, Gedoilei Yisrael hand chosen by HKB"H Himself, the Meraglim, again refused to make Aliya and as a punishment that entire generation died in the desert. This was the דור דעה the generation that witnessed miracles on a constant basis, the generation that stood at Har Sinai, had Manna from heaven and water from a rock!

Centuries later, when Ezra HaSofer urged the Jews of Babylonia to make Aliyah, the Gedolei HaDor again refused, even though Yermiyahu prophesied that this exile would only be for 70 years, claiming that only assimilated Jews and Sabbath violators were going.

Ezra cursed them—and it was those very “assimilated” Jews who rebuilt the Land and the Beis HaMikdash.

There is an incredible story in our mesorah that when the Jews were exiled during the destruction of the first Bais Hamikdash, there were Jews exiled to Germany as well. 70 years later when Ezra begged the Babylonian Jews to return he begged the German Jews to return to Eretz Yisrael as well, they wrote him a letter declining his invitation, and though they encouraged him to return to Yerushlayim , they told Ezra that Germany is "Now their Yerushlayim."

According to Rabbe Wein, that community in Mainz and other parts of the Rhineland like Worms and Cologne were massacred, their communities devastated, and the survivors forcibly baptized during the First Crusade and there is no one today that can trace themselves to that community; totally wiped out!

The Gemara teaches that had all the Jews returned, that Temple would never have been destroyed.

Did the Naftulies learn a lesson? Not a chance! 

The RBS"O established a State in 1948 (Avraham Aveenu was born in 1948) לשם ולתפארת yet there were again "Gedoilim" who chose and encouraged their followers to remain in the Jewish blood soaked Chutz Leaaretz, and some of these Gedoilim after mocking Theodore Herzl's plan of initially wanting Uganda as the Jewish state, proceeded to establish their own Ugandas in New Square and Kiryas Yoel, mamash Herzl's initial plan, and who they now curse, and who never gave him credit for his  plan that they themselves instituted! 

 The gemara states that Rav Yoisef son of Yehoshua ben Levi went up to heaven and when he returned, he proclaimed ..... עולם הפוך ראיתי

Eligible US men will be automatically registered for military draft pool beginning in December

נמות ולא נסתגייס

The United States will automatically register eligible men aged 18 to 25 for a military draft pool beginning in December.

The rule change was submitted by the Selective Service System, which maintains a database of Americans who would be able to serve in the military. 

'This statutory change transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,' the agency's website said. 

It adds that the rule change remains under review by regulatory affairs and is awaiting finalization.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Pentagon and the White House for comment.

The last time a draft was conducted in the US was in the 1970s, during America's highly controversial involvement in the Vietnam War.

Despite no active conscription, men between the ages of 18 and 25 had still been required to register with the Selective Service System should one be activated. 

The agency's website said that this rule change will merely streamline this process as part of a 'workforce realignment'. 

There have been multiple proposals to also add young women to the draft, but none that have passed into law. 

Men who fail to register face a fine of up to $250,000, five years in prison and loss of eligibility for federal programs. 

Shortly after the war in Iran began, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to rule out the option on an appearance with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News. 

'President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table. I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly,' Leavitt told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

She insisted, however, that it's not part of the current plan.

Donald Trump has so far publicly downplayed the option of deploying ground troops, saying he'd only do so 'if necessary' but that it would be a 'waste of time'.

But at the same time, reports emerged of sources claiming the President has privately expressed 'serious interest' in such a deployment.

Bartiromo noted that 'mothers are worried' there would be a draft that takes their sons to war.

'It's not part of the current plan right now, but the President, again, wisely keeps his options on the table,' Leavitt reiterated.

She said that Trump 'wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation' before making a decision on the matter of ground troops. 

Polls for decades have shown that Americans are strongly against a draft, their resistance shaped largely by the failures of the Vietnam War and a preference for an all-volunteer, professional defense force.

Any attempts to bring back the draft would have to be approved by Congress, which would need to amend the Military Selective Service Act.  

Trump eyes ultimate revenge on NATO allies who failed to support Iran war as concern grows amid tenuous peace plan

 

Donald Trump is plotting revenge against NATO allies who failed to support his war in Iran by potentially removing US troops from member countries. 

Trump was reportedly mulling that drastic move after meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte Wednesday amid a widening rift between Washington and the alliance.

The President, who had recently suggested the US could leave the alliance, expressed anger toward NATO in a scathing social media post Wednesday night.

'NATO WASN'T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON'T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN,' Trump wrote in an all caps post. 'REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!'

Trump was referring to his potential ploy to annex Greenland, which is under the control of Denmark. Rutte was among the NATO leaders that lobbied Trump not to take over Greenland. 

As a result of his frustration with NATO, administration officials told The Wall Street Journal that Trump may move troops stationed in NATO countries that refused to help him wage a military campaign against Iran.

Trump is reportedly mulling over several different plans, but the military scheme has gained the most backing from senior White House officials.
