US gave Britain green light to target Israel over Judea and Samaria
President Donald Trump was briefed in advance on Britain’s sweeping measures against Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and did not ask London to hold off, according to a Western official cited by The Times of Israel.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham reportedly personally informed Trump of plans to ban imports from Israeli settlements and impose additional measures. “There was no request to hold off,” the official said. Secretary of State Marco Rubio likewise said Washington knew in advance but would not join the sanctions.
The revelation appears to undercut US Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s warning that Britain would face “significant” repercussions. A White House official later said Huckabee’s remarks were not coordinated with the administration, although a stronger US response could still follow.
Hostage's mother sues Charedi provocateur
| Iris Haim |
Iris Haim, the mother of the late Yotam Haim, who was mistakenly shot and killed in Shejaiya after escaping Hamas captivity, has filed a lawsuit seeking approximately NIS 170,000 against Haredi provocateur Dov Halbertal over harsh and offensive comments he posted about her on Facebook following reports that she could potentially be included on the Likud’s Knesset slate.
Halbertal called Haim “a seeker of honor and publicity who has only flourished since her son’s death," and claimed that “it can be assumed that she planned her entire path into politics in advance and is trampling on the blood of her son, who bestowed worldwide celebrity status upon her."
He concluded the post with the words: “On her son’s grave, she will write: ‘How good that you were murdered.’ What a kindness Hamas did for her."
In response to the post, Haim chose to respond publicly and rejected his claims.
“No one has approached me - not from the Likud, nor from any other slate or party - and even if I am approached, the answer will be no. The important thing is to write vile and disgusting things about me without even checking," she wrote.
The lawsuit states that Haim, through no choice of her own, has become a figure who seeks to promote unity among the people of Israel. It also emphasizes that the offensive post was published shortly after she received preliminary approval to have a child using Yotam’s sperm.
Her attorneys stress that Halbertal’s remarks were not an inadvertent act committed in a moment of anger, but rather a deliberate effort to hurt her and tarnish her reputation.
Thomas Friedman says that the present Israeli Government is "Worse than the Klan"
by Rabbi Yair Hoffman
Thomas Friedman, in a New York Times Op-Ed, has informed his readers that “self-destruction is on the ballot” in Israel and in America. It is a bold claim from a man whose track record includes the Iraq war he championed, the Chinese authoritarianism he admired, and the flat world that turned out to have quite a few hills. The column is as far from journalism as mankind is from the amoeba and completely collapses when checked against the record. Claim by claim, there is nothing left standing.
“The future of democracy” is on the ballot in Israel
Here is Friedman’s “democracy on the brink.” The outgoing 25th Knesset became the first Israeli legislature since 1988 to complete its full four-year term without early dissolution. The election is being held on schedule, on October 27. The motion to dissolve parliament passed 62-0, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voting in favor. That’s 62 to 0. And the incumbent is trailing: Channel 12’s August 25 poll shows Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot beating Netanyahu 44 percent to 34 on the question of who is fitter to be prime minister.
And now let’s look at what Friedman is asking readers to believe. A regime that is “strangling democracy” schedules an on-time election, watches the polls turn against it, and then votes unanimously to hold the election anyway. That is not how autocracies behave. It is how democracies behave. Friedman has mistaken the thing itself for its absolute opposite.
