Munkatch Puts Out "Kol Korah" Against One of the Mispallem That Made a "Mi Shebeirach" For the IDF
New York Times Putting Jewish Soldiers In Danger Providing Hamas IDF Locations in Real Time
It appears the New York Times has taken a step beyond its usual hate-and-hit pieces aimed at Israel and Orthodox Jews in New York and is now helping out Hamas by publishing specific information about Israel Defense Forces movements in Gaza.
On Monday (October 30), the Grey Lady laid out a map of Israeli military positions in Gaza, including type of vehicles and approximate size involved.
With the subheading “Where Israeli troops are encircling Gaza City,” the article opined, “Israel’s military appears to be approaching Gaza City from at least three sides. Photos, videos and satellite imagery show lines of armored vehicles advancing from Gaza’s northern border and taking up positions near a major road farther north.”
Can’t get much more specific than that, unless you are wearing a green IDF uniform.
Furthermore, as pointed out by the Elder of Ziyon blog, “How is this not a violation of US law against aiding terror organizations?” The US State Department designated Hamas as a foreign terrorist organization in October 1997.
According to the US State Department, “It is unlawful for a person in the United States to knowingly provide “material support or resources” to a designated FTO (foreign terrorist organization).
The legal criteria for designation of a foreign terror organization includes the following: “The organization’s terrorist activity or terrorism must threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security (national defense, foreign relations, or the economic interests) of the United States.”
The term “material support or resources” is defined in 18. U.S.C. § 2339A(b)(1) as ” any property, tangible or intangible, or service, including currency or monetary instruments or financial securities, financial services, lodging, training, expert advice or assistance, safehouses, false documentation or identification, communications equipment, facilities, weapons, lethal substances, explosives, personnel (1 or more individuals who maybe or include oneself), and transportation, except medicine or religious materials.” 18 U.S.C. § 2339A(b)(2) provides that for these purposes “the term ‘training’ means instruction or teaching designed to impart a specific skill, as opposed to general knowledge.” 18 U.S.C. § 2339A(b)(3) further provides that for these purposes the term ‘expert advice or assistance’ means advice or assistance derived from scientific, technical or other specialized knowledge.’’
Netherland Musicians Leave the Stage After the Conductor announced that he is a Hamas Supporter all in front of the Queen
In the Netherlands: a Muslim conductor supported Hamas before a concert began. All the musicians left and he was escorted out by security. All this in front of the Queen... this is exactly how all supporters of terrorists such as: Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, the MST and others should be treated
Yad Veshem Radical Leftie Chairman Attacks Ambassador Erdan says "Take Your Hands Off Our Holocaust"
Israel’s UN Envoy Gilad Erdan on Monday wore a yellow star of David with the slogan “Never again” emblazoned on it when he spoke at the UN Security Council’s emergency discussion of the war and the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, convened at the request of the United Arab Emirates.
Yad Vashem Chairman Danny Dayan on Tuesday morning slammed Erdan, tweeting: “We were sorry to see the members of the Israeli delegation to the UN wearing a yellow patch. This act dishonors both the victims of the Holocaust and the State of Israel. The yellow patch symbolizes the helplessness of the Jewish people and their being at the mercy of others. Today we have an independent country and a strong army. We are masters of our destiny. Today we put a blue & white flag on our lapel, not a yellow patch.”
Erdan later tweeted Monday night: “Today at the Security Council, I wore the yellow patch and rebuked the members of the council: When my family members were sent to the gas chambers – the world was silent. Today, after Jewish babies have once again been burned alive – the Security Council is silent. You have learned nothing in the past eighty years! The UN has forgotten why it was founded! But we will make sure to remind them: from now on, my team and I will wear a yellow patch to remind you of the shame of your silence. And we will carry it with pride until we eliminate the Nazi Hamas. NEVER AGAIN is now!”
It was difficult to avoid seeing the Dayan attack on Erdan as purely a turf war. After all, since when is Yad Vashem the arbiter of what symbols are appropriate and inappropriate for Israelis, including Israeli officials, to wear on their lapels?
Israelis who have been advocating for the replacement of Chairman Dayan, who was appointed by the Lapid-Bennett government, reminded the left-leaning chairman of his organization’s refusal to display the picture of the Mufti of Jerusalem with Adolf Hitler because they argued that the meeting between the Mufti and Hitler had no practical influence on Nazi policy.
But by evading the question of the Mufti’s connection to the Nazis, Yad Vashem also avoided a front-and-center discussion of SS units comprised of dedicated Muslims, most notably the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian), a mountain infantry division of the Waffen-SS with Muslim recruits from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The term United Nations was first coined by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to describe the Allied forces that fought against Germany, Japan, and Italy. The first official use of this term was on January 1, 1942, when 26 governments signed the Atlantic Treaty, in which they pledged to continue the war effort.
Incidentally, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) began in 1943 in the White House, as an international relief agency to take care of war refugees in Europe and the Far East.
Israel’s UN ambassador wears yellow star in protest, compares Hamas to SS death squad
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations called out the organization for its failure to condemn Hamas “atrocities” while donning a Nazi-era yellow star as a stark reminder of what happened in the past when the “world” stayed silent.
During a heated address before the UN Security Council, Ambassador Gilad Erdan compared the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack to what his grandfather Chaim and his children endured when they were ripped away from their lives and taken to Auschwitz by the Nazis.
“When his babies were sent to the gas chambers, the world stayed silent. When their bodies were burned along with millions of other Jewish children, the world was silent,” Erdan said during Monday’s meeting.
“Today, after innocent Jewish babies were burned alive, this Council is still silent. Some of you have learned nothing in the past 80 years.
“Some of you have forgotten why this body was established.”
The ambassador, along with his delegation, then took out the gold stars similar to the ones Jews were forced to wear by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust to “remind” the group why they were first created.
“Just like my grandparents, and the grandparents of millions of Jews, from now on my team and I will wear yellow stars,” he told the Council as he stood up and placed the star inscribed with the words “Never Again” on his chest.
Nazi Germany used the Star of David patch to identify Jews between 1939 until the end of World War II.
“We will wear this star until you wake up and condemn the atrocities of Hamas,” Erdan said.
During the address, Erdan stated to the Council that the only solution being sought out by Hamas was “the final solution” and that the terrorist organization’s idea of peace would only be achieved by the elimination of Jews in Israel.
There are no pro-Palestinian rallies — only pro-Hamas, antisemitic hate
Despite the headlines about pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses, in cities around the world and on the Arab street, there has not been a single rally that is actually pro-Palestinian.
All have been anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorism and often antisemitic.
None has called for a two-state solution.
Instead, attendees have chanted about eliminating Jews “from the river to the sea” — which is all of Israel.
The most anti-Palestinian entity in the world is Hamas.
It has killed and exiled elected officials from the Palestinian Authority.
It has stolen food, fuel and medical supplies from the Palestinian people.
It has used Palestinian children and women as human shields.
It has prevented Gaza’s civilians from moving south and away from Israeli bombing.
It has denied Gazans education and religious and political freedom.
It has made life miserable for its people.
It has caused the deaths of more Palestinians than Israel has.
All this was well before the war Hamas started with its massacres, which the terrorist group knew would make things worse for Gazan civilians.
Indeed, that was part of its motive in attacking: to force Israel to respond forcefully so the world would see dead Palestinian babies they use as human shields.
Now things have gotten much worse and are likely to get even more serious, as Hamas hoards Gaza’s remaining fuel and humanitarian supplies.
This is all the fault of Hamas and its puppet master Iran.
Yale campus newspaper censors pro-Israel writer’s column on Hamas beheading men, raping women
Sahar Tartak, a sophomore at Yale University, wrote a column for campus newspaper Yale Daily News which was censored. |
Yale’s campus newspaper is being criticized for censoring a pro-Israel columnist by removing what it called “unsubstantiated claims that Hamas raped women and beheaded men.”
The Yale Daily News last week cut out the reference from an Oct. 12 column by sophomore Sahar Tartak titled “Is Yalies4Palestine a hate group?”
“I’m still collecting my thoughts on the YDN’s egregious correction,” Tartak, editor in chief of rival campus newspaper Yale Free Press, wrote on her X social media account on Monday.
She reposted a comment by a Yale professor, Nicholas Christakis, who asked: “Are the hostage-taking, murder of children in their beds, burning of people alive, and parading of nude captive women in the street also ‘unsubstantiated’?”
Tartak, from Great Neck, LI, penned the column five days after the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre that slaughtered more than 1,400 Israelis.Tartak condemned Yalies4Palestine, a student group which posted messages on Instagram blaming Israel for the atrocities.
Another social media post by Yalies4Palestine called on “the Yale community to celebrate the resistance’s success,” according to Tartak.
The group went on to express “full support of the Palestinian people’s right to resist colonization and return to their land” while dismissing “nonviolent acts of resistance” as ineffective.
“This language should terrify you,” Tartak wrote.
He Survived The Holocaust Only To Be Murdered On October 7th
Moshe Ridler, H’yd, a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor, was murdered by Hamas terrorists at Kibbutz Holit on October 7th along with his caregiver, Pietro Bosco from Moldova.
Ridler, z’l, born in Romania in 1931, was nine years old when World War II began, Ynet reported.
His grandson Mashav Ridler told Ynet: “They took him with his mother and sister to a camp in Transnistria. His father and older sister were sent to a labor camp. His mother and sister died from typhus inside the camp, and at the age of 11, he managed to escape the camp with a group of other boys.”
“He told us he never stopped running, and what he remembers is waking up with a family in a small town in Ukraine and living with them during the war,” he added. “He became a shepherd and helped them with their farm work. When he heard that Jews were returning to the town and the war had ended, he was sitting on the steps of the shul and suddenly his father appeared in front of him. He was certain his father was dead. Later, he also reunited with his older sister.”
Ridler, z’l, who moved to the kibbutz five years ago to be closer to his family, was the oldest man on the kibbutz.
ADL the Radical Leftie Cowards backdown after being threatened with massive Lawsuit from Chaya Raichik
After much pressure, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has finally removed Chaya Raichik and her Libs of TikTok account from its “Glossary of Extremism.”
In response, Raichik tweeted, “BREAKING: The ADL finally caved after immense pressure and threats of legal action and REMOVED my name from their Glossary of Extremism!”
She added, “Just goes to show that the ADL knows I’m not a violent extremist. The decision to put me on their ‘Glossary of Extremism’ was all political theater. They’re a propaganda tool of the radical Left and they went too far with this.”
In a March blogpost on the ADL site entitled “At CPAC 2023, Anti-Transgender Hate Took Center Stage”, the featured headline image was Ms. Raichik.
Rockland County Top Elected Official Caught Ripping Down Posters of Hamas Hostages!
The top elected official in the village of Nyack, in southern Rockland County, has been criticized for ripping down posters of Hamas hostages.
Below is a statement from NYS Senator Bill Weber of Rockland, regarding the incident:
“I am extremely troubled by the reported recent egregious actions of Andy Stewart, the Village Administrator of Nyack, and former three-term Orangetown Supervisor.
A national Jewish organization, Stop Antisemitism, has published a photo of Mr. Stewart, with a pile of signs he tore down of civilian hostages, some of whom are American, taken by Hamas on October 7th.
This disturbing behavior goes against the principles of tolerance, respect, and empathy that we, as a society, should uphold.
Similar activity has taken place in other locations across the United States. It is especially disturbing to see it taking place here in Rockland County.
I am calling for a thorough investigation into this documented incident and consequences for these actions.”
Remember when Palestinians Celebrated the murder of 3,000 Americans in the Twin towers?
Important to Share this on Social Media.
This was not Hamas! These were Palestinians living in Jerusalem!
Old man saves the day!
Wow, this old man saved the day.
