“I don’t speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I don’t have the power to remain silent.” Rav Kook z"l

Chardeim are surprised that there are murderers amongst them, but this will escalate very fast and very soon!
Watch video how the murderer burned down a wig store and was let free!
Charedim are now brushing off this violent act saying he was deranged! Was the one who burned down stores that sell mobile phones deranged too? How about the guys that stop traffic are they "deranged" or are they just a "a bunch of extremists"
If Charedim are not going to stop this violence in its tracks, it will escalate quickly!
Below is a comment on a Chardeie blog from a frustrated Charedie and I translated into English!
"Why is anyone surprised?
They are all shocked. Everyone asks how it happens.
How does a man gets up, take a knife, and kill an someone immersed in studying, next to his 13-year-old child.
But the painful truth is we must not be surprised.
Because a society that is used to being silent when extremists are burning mobile stores, you should not be surprised when one day someone takes the same logic one step forward.
A society that gets used to keeping quiet when women are persecuted because of the length of a skirt, don't be surprised when violence in the name of modesty turns into violence in the names of holiness.
A society that practices silence when wig shops are attacked, when business owners are threatened, when glass is broken, when walls are corrupted, when children see vandalism and understand that it's called "Holy War", should not be surprised when the next generation gets the message.
The message is simple and dangerous:
if something seems not holy enough to you, you are allowed to harm it. And if damage is allowed, why stop at the property? And if it's allowed to harm in the name of religion, who decides where the border is?
And this is where the problem begins.
Violence does not begin with murder. It begins with silence. It starts with a wink. It starts with "Well, they're extremists". It starts off with "don't make it a big deal". It starts with the rabbi who don't yell loud enough, businessmen who are afraid of getting involved, the public that prefers to look away, and in good people who tell themselves that it's nothing to do with them.
This does have to do with you.
Because whoever burns a store today, may raise his hand tomorrow. Whoever chases a woman in the street today, may hurt a person tomorrow. Whoever teaches that violence is a legitimate tool in religious struggle, cannot later be shocked when this tool is activated to the end "
Rabbi Breitowitz "NO ISSUES FOR ANYONE TO GO UP ON THE HAR HABYIS" "We know which area not to go"
"So some say, don't go to the Har Habayis (the Temple Mount) at all, because you never know," he explained. "But in truth, in truth, we kind of do know. And we do have kind of an unbroken mesorah (tradition) that the Machanah Shechina ('Camp of the Divine Presence,' where the holiest parts of the Temple stood - ed.) begins in very close proximity to the Dome of the Rock. The Dome of the Rock itself is on the site of the Holy of Holies. And if you then work backwards in terms of measuring the Mikdash (Temple), you can determine it."
"I myself have never been on the Har Habayis. I don't go to the Har Habayis myself, and I am machmer (stringent), but I'm not sure if I need to be machmir, because ... there's absolutely a safe zone" where someone impure from contact with the dead is allowed to go. At the same time, "in terms of the government, people can go wherever they want."
Is Trump Buckling on Iran? Will he accept any deal now, Declare Victory and leave???
President Trump is facing a moment of maximum peril in his handling of Iran — one that will shape his legacy, America’s stature and perhaps the course of history itself.
We are entering the sixth week of a two-week cease-fire that was agreed to on the pre-condition that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened immediately.
Yet it never opened, and Iran continues to attack our Arab allies — while it dithers and strings out talks. What gives?
The prez’s big risk: Political pressure over the midterms and the buzzing of isolationists in Trump’s own camp might nudge him to take any deal that lets him declare victory, save face and bug out of Iran.
This would be a catastrophic mistake, comparable almost to Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler at Munich in 1938.
It would burn his legacy on the bonfire of political expediency.
Walking away with a bad deal now would enhance the stature of Iran, vindicate its claims to regional hegemony, place our Arab and Israeli allies in a precarious position and signal to China, Russia and the middle powers that American resolve is paper-thin.
It would also render meaningless the sacrifice of tens of thousands of brave Iranian citizens who were slaughtered for daring to stand up against nearly 50 years of the mullahs’ tyranny.
Trump has long condemned President Barack Obama’s 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action as a sellout deal that rewarded Iranian obstreperousness about its pursuit of a nuclear bomb and support for terror proxies throughout the region.
But the shape of negotiations today makes it plausible that, in exchange for vague promises about weapons and nuclear enrichment, Iran could emerge with the power to toll the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, a ton of cash and a burnished reputation covering up its savagery.
This would be a statement of humiliation that would make Obama look like Sun Tzu by comparison.epleted stocks of missiles and resume arming Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, confident that US threats of retaliation are empty.
And what future president would want to open up the Islamic Republic can of worms once again?
Meanwhile, Iran uses its friends in Pakistan and Qatar to communicate that a great deal is just around the corner.
Iran’s latest peace proposal reportedly contained nearly all the outrageous demands — reparations, release of frozen funds, no more Israeli attacks on Hezbollah terrorists — as its previous one.
Yet Trump agreed yet again to hold off on any military action and allow talks to proceed for days more, perhaps even a week.
The White House may have some tactical reason for this: Arab allies, for example, may need to prepare their defenses.
Yet every time Trump waves his fist at Iran and promises to take out “a whole civilization,” only to reset the clock when time expires, he diminishes his image and squanders American credibility.
The choices in the next few days will shape not only Trump’s legacy but the role of the United States as a global power and the protector-of-last-resort of the world’s sea lanes.
After Britain’s 1956 Suez crisis, British Prime Minister Anthony Eden walked away from Suez, handing Nasser control of the canal and the power to shape the Middle East for decades to come.
Asked what he would have done, Winston Churchill said: “I would never have dared; and if I had dared, I would certainly never have dared stop.”
Trump acted boldly when he struck a blow against the Iranian regime and vowed to denuclearize it.
Backing down now would demonstrate not peace through strength, but peace through weakness. And a surely temporary peace at that.
Don’t buckle now, Mr. President. Finish the job.

HORRIFIC Tragedy in BNEI-BRAK R' Yeshaya Fur Murdered for learning Rambam
An Israeli rabbinical scholar was fatally stabbed while studying at a religious study hall in the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak ahead of the Shavuot holiday, in an attack police said was carried out by a mentally disturbed assailant.
The victim was identified as Rabbi Yeshaya “Yishai” Fur, 52, a longtime scholar at the prominent Chazon Ish kollel in Bnei Brak.
According to Hebrew media reports, Fur was attacked while studying alongside his 13-year-old only son, who was born to the family after many years of waiting.
Witnesses said the attacker suddenly stabbed Fur inside the study hall. Israeli police said the suspect was taken into custody and is believed to be mentally unstable. The circumstances surrounding the attack remain under investigation.
CAPTURED IN BEIT SHEMESH!
Investigators are examining reports of an escalating dispute between the suspect and Rabbi Por related to Torah study.
According to witnesses, the suspect repeatedly confronted Por in recent days over his study of the writings of Maimonides, known in Jewish tradition as the Rambam, insisting that learning the medieval sage’s works was forbidden.
Fellow scholars at the kollel said the suspect allegedly threatened Por the night before the attack, warning him that because he continued studying the Rambam’s writings, he “would not complete the year.”
Despite the confrontations, friends said Por continued his regular Torah study schedule and avoided engaging in arguments.
The suspect was captured in Beit Shemesh
