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

Dov Halbertal

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.

The British Mandate Is Finally Over’: Israel Orders UK Consulate in East Jerusalem Shut!

 

The British Mandate Is Over’: Israel Orders UK Officials Out of Gaza Coordination Center Over Judea and Samaria Boycott, and their consulate in East Jerusalem shut!

Israel has reportedly given British representatives at the international Gaza coordination center in Kiryat Gat seven days to leave the country, retaliating for Britain’s new ban on dealings with Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

According to Channel 12, the move is  part of a broader Israeli response that also targets British diplomatic operations in Jerusalem and Ramallah, dramatically escalating the confrontation with London.

The major battle that split Satmar in Two

 

In the video below Frieda Vizel interviews the singer Yumi Lowy about his recollections of how the Satmar split unfolded! 

Yumi (which grownup still uses "Yumi" as a name?) grew up in Satmar and it's clear from this conversation that he speaks from the Aroni faction's perspective, however, his observations of the physical violence between the Satmar Chassidim amongst themselves is astounding. 

He starts with a false narrative, obviously repeating the "horse crap" that the "Aronim" were dishing out!

For example at the 7.24 mark he claims that the Beirach Moshe z"l suffered from dementia, an unmitigated lie! 

R Aron Teitelbaum, the elder son, fabricated that because his father refused to name him as his successor. Why wouldn't the father name his eldest son as his natural successor, because the Beirach Moshe didn't want a known bully with an uncontrolled mouth to succeed him so he went ahead and named the younger one R Zalman Leib to be the next Satmar Rebbe, 

In 2005, R Aron tried to drag his father to secular court to get the court to approve R Aron's psychologist that would have said  "that his father lost his marbles." 

However,before the Secular Judge even ruled, the rebbe passed away April 2006. 

Now I don't have a dog in this fight and could care less who was the true successor is but I won't allow re-writing of the facts. I know for a fact that he was sharp as a tack.

The Rebbe did get very depressed when his daughter Rebbetzin Chaya Meisels passed away in 1993, and couldn't get over it, but he functioned 100%

Now when you watch this video, you will hear what I have been telling you guys for years, that Satmar is a violent uncivilized sect.

But what Yumi Lowy doesn't tell you, is that this violent history goes back all the way to Europe preWW2 where R' Yoel Teitelbaum the founder of the Satmar Chassidus fought with everyone including his own brother the Atzei Chayim and his nephews in Sighet! Later he fought with the Spinker Rebbe, for reasons only Hashem knows! 

After settling in the USA, he fought with Reb Hershele Spinker z"l and made his life a living hell. He also fought with his nephew the Kloizenberger Rebbe z"l. The Kloizenberger had to flee to Union City NJ!

When I say "fighting" I mean actual physical violence! 

PS: At the 44:27 mark, Yumi compares the Satmar Civil War to the Israeli/Arab conflict! 

This shows that Satmar Chassidim by-in-large whether they are still in the community or out of it like Yumi, are basically stupid! 

Adidas surrenders to terror supporters, apologizes for featuring disabled Israeli veteran

 

Adidas has apologized after pro-Palestinian activists targeted an Israeli campaign featuring Shalev Biton, a former IDF soldier who lost his left leg after being wounded during his military service in 2021.

Biton was one of 11 disabled athletes promoting Adidas’s “Single Shoe” initiative, which allows amputees and others with limb differences to buy only the shoe they need. His inclusion triggered outrage because of his IDF service, with actor Javier Bardem even calling for a boycott of Adidas.

Rather than simply stand behind an inclusion campaign featuring a disabled athlete, Adidas bowed to the backlash and apologized, stressing that the advertisement was only a local Israeli initiative: “It was never our intent to cause offense and we apologize for anyone affected.” The retreat is likely to fuel criticism that the company caved to political pressure over the mere inclusion of an Israeli veteran with a disability.

Hey Huckabee, watch out for the real trap

 

This urgent article is NOT about the storm which rightly arose risen regarding the Ambassador Huckabee fiasco earlier this week. That fiasco is however the direct backdrop to the disaster waiting to happen which we report below. So, to recap:

Ambassador Huckabee, in a moment of oversight, agreed this week to a “town meeting" with “Palestinian-Americans" (i.e. Israel-bashing activists). It truly did not occur to the ambassador that a “town meeting" format would allow Pallywood con artists to say whatever they want - with zero fact-checking. Pro-Israel groups were properly astounded by the Ambassador’s naivete - especially since the ambassador even expressed delight that his event drew lots of media (“Large press group turned out to cover my trip to Turmusayya").

Of course the Israel-bashing media turned out en masse. But that does not mean the event is a success. To the contrary, it means the Ambassador was set up by the Arab bloc’s powerful propaganda machine.

Such events are used to undermine the Jewish state and the Jewish people on a grand scale. Such fests skew public opinion against the Jews, shape anti-Jewish policy, fuel anti-Semitic sentiment, and physically endanger Jewish communities and Jewish students. But none of this matters, because this fest, this “town meeting", already happened.

However -

Ger and Sanz on each others throats!

 

Tensions inside Agudas Yisrael escalated overnight following a contentious meeting between representatives of Gur and Sanz, after Sanz firmly rejected a demand that its representatives sign a written commitment sought by Gur.

According to a report by Kikar HaShabbos, the dispute erupted after Gur representatives sought a formal letter of commitment from Sanz, similar to an agreement that had reportedly been signed several years ago. Sanz rejected the demand outright, reportedly responding: “This will not happen. We are not repeating the same mistake twice.”

With the sides at an impasse, a senior Gur delegation traveled Monday night to Kiryat Sanz in Netanya in an effort to resolve the dispute. The Gur delegation included Motty Babchik, Yonatan Chassid and Chanoch Dranger, while Sanz was represented by Berl Stemer and Reichman.

During the meeting, the Gur representatives reportedly stressed the importance of their request and maintained that the demand had come from the Gerrer Rebbe.

But Sanz refused to budge.

“We are not subordinate to you. We also have a Rebbe, and his opinion and decision carry exactly the same weight as those of the Rebbes of Gur, Vizhnitz and Belz,” the Sanz representatives reportedly told the Gur delegation.

Sanz further made clear that the chassidus answers to the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah and the Sanzer Rebbe, and would not accept the authority of another chassidus.

According to the report, Gur ultimately withdrew its demand for the written commitment after it became clear that Sanz would not agree to sign it.

The confrontation comes amid broader turmoil inside Agudas Yisrael surrounding the party’s Knesset slate. The dispute intensified after Gur moved to remove Sanz representative MK Moshe Shimon Roth from the fifth position on the Agudas Yisrael list.

Hours after the initial report, a statement issued in the names of Gur’s Central Faction and the Sanz community said the sides had reached an agreement following talks held “in a positive atmosphere and with mutual understanding.” Under the reported agreement, the representative of the Sanzer Rebbe would receive the fifth position on the Agudas Yisrael Knesset slate.

The statement added that the arrangement was intended to increase representation for the various kehillos and promote cooperation on communal and religious matters.
