Insane Charedie Protester Brings his baby and Stroller then blames the cops for knocking the crap out of him
This guy needs to be drafted ASAP and his child put in foster care!
Footage circulating online from a protest in Jerusalem on Thursday showed clashes between police and demonstrators during a demonstration against light rail construction, with some images appearing to show force used near a stroller with a baby inside.
Police said hundreds of protesters disrupted public order, blocked work and damaged infrastructure, and that some demonstrators attempted to attack workers at the site. Officers said they responded after repeated calls for the crowd to disperse, using crowd-control measures including stun grenades.
Three police officers were injured during the clashes, including one who was bitten, according to police.
Following the footage, Jerusalem District police said officers involved in the incident were removed from the scene and would be investigated, and that operational suspensions could follow pending review.
The incident drew strong reactions online as officials continued to assess the circumstances surrounding the confrontation.
Even with Years of War, Trauma, and Daily Fear, Israel Still Ranks Among the World’s Happiest Nations
Even as sirens wail, missiles fall, and families across the country rush into bomb shelters, Israel has once again ranked among the happiest nations on earth.
According to the latest World Happiness Report, Israel placed 8th globally, maintaining its position from last year and continuing a remarkable upward trajectory over recent years. But behind the headline lies a far more complex and deeply human story, one of an unbreakable national spirit.
“Israel’s ranking has consistently gone up since 2021,” said Anat Fanti, a happiness policy researcher at Bar-Ilan University. “It doesn’t surprise me because Israelis have a sense of meaning and purpose, which contributes to their overall satisfaction with life.”
That sense of purpose is being tested daily.
The report was released as Israelis across the country were hunkering down in bomb shelters, with schools closed, flights severely limited, and daily life disrupted by relentless missile and rocket attacks from Iran and Hezbollah since the war erupted on February 28. In such a reality, the idea of “happiness” may seem almost disconnected, but the data suggest there is something else going on.
Fanti explained that the ranking does not measure daily emotions, but rather a broader perspective on life itself. “The ranking represents the overall evaluation people have about their life, which paints a larger picture, rather than their emotions, whether negative or positive, which come and go each day,” she said.
Israelis under the age of 25 ranked as the happiest demographic within the country, and third in the entire world! This stands in extreme contrast to other Western nations, where youth happiness has sharply declined. In the United States, for example, young people rank around 60th globally.
“Young Israeli’s are much more grounded compared to their age group in other countries,” Fanti said. “They go to military service while their peer group goes to college, thinking about where they will get booze under 21. They make decisions between 18 and 21 that are far beyond their years.”
She added that Israel’s social life plays a critical role: “The level of social support and genuine friendships in Israel are part of Israeli society.”
Israel’s rise in the rankings has been steady. From 12th place in 2021, the country broke into the top 10 the following year, reached as high as 4th in 2023, and has remained among the global leaders ever since , even after the trauma of October 7 and the wars that followed.
The report is based on six key factors: economic stability, life expectancy, social support, charitable giving, freedom to make life decisions, and perceptions of corruption.
“What’s not measured directly includes family ties, community, faith, a sense of belonging, and strong social bonds,” she explained.
She pointed to a uniquely Israeli phenomenon to prove this: “In their latest book, ‘The Genius of Israel,’ Saul Singer and Dan Senor said Israelis have a Thanksgiving dinner every Friday night and show their gratitude. It is one aspect of Israeli culture that helps Israelis remain well above the global average.”
While Israelis continue to rate their overall life satisfaction highly, with Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics reporting a striking 91.1% satisfaction rate among adults, emotional distress has also surged dramatically.
Feelings of depression rose from 25.5% in 2023 to 33.9% in 2024. Stress levels climbed from 58.2% to 67.9%. And data on worry, sadness, and anger also got worse, jumping from 119th place globally before October 7 to 39th.
“Israel’s result in this year’s World Happiness Report does not erase the psychological cost of the war,” Fanti explained. “On the contrary, it highlights the gap between the resilience of Israeli society and the difficult emotional reality of daily life.”
The report itself is based on a three-year average spanning 2023 through 2025, meaning the full impact of the current war may not yet be fully reflected. What it does show, however, is that even under extraordinary strain, Israeli society remains deeply happy, content, and full of purpose.
“We cannot take for granted the population’s resilience in the face of such difficult years,” Fanti said. “The 2026 report shows that Israeli society is still very strong. It is crucial to strengthen social and mental health services, and reinforce the sources of cohesion that enable Israeli society to endure even under difficult conditions.”

Erdogan of Turkey suddenly woke up in the morning and discovered he is not quite as big as he thought
In Ankara, a man suddenly woke up in the morning and discovered he is not quite as big as he thought. The year 2025 in the Middle East revolved around the question of whether Turkey was gradually becoming a strategic partner of the United States like Israel. Trump invested in Erdogan the way he invested in Netanyahu, brought him into civilian activity in Gaza, half-rebuked the Israeli prime minister in front of the cameras (“Erdogan is my friend, Bibi understands that”), and even announced that he would sell him F-35s, just like Israel.
Well, other F-35s are now starring in the skies of the Middle East. Turkey’s ruler thought Trump consulted him every step of the way, and yet a respectable regional war organized itself without him being in the loop. The man who presides over what is considered the most intimidating army in the Middle East discovered—along with the whole world—the capabilities and power of the Israeli Air Force and intelligence services, and the depth of cooperation with the U.S. military. Erdogan saw, and was astonished.
“Erdogan saw, and was astonished.”
The Turks’ distress is immense. The best-case scenario for them was and remains a weak Iran that, on the one hand, continues to sell them gas dirt cheap; on the other hand, curbs Kurdish expansionist ambitions; and on the third hand, cannot serve as a rival for regional control or, God forbid, even cooperate with Israel.
As if all that were not enough, they are very worried about the renewed romance between the United States and the Kurds, whom they detest, to the point of fantasies about conquering parts of Iran (imagine Israel waking up one morning to discover that Trump is in direct talks with the Hamas leadership so that they can invade Egypt with American weapons). Fortunately for him, the Kurds are still suspicious of the United States since they were sold out—though recently, to the Syrian regime.
Now, as Erdogan follows the news about the situation, he also has to deal with higher energy prices while Turkey’s inflation rises and interest rates are murderous.
The Turkish solution, uncharacteristically, is to sing songs of peace. The Turkish dictator who convinced himself and his people that Israel was about to attack Ankara because of a biblical fantasy keeps overlooking Iranian launches into his territory, imagining they are rain. He is trying to initiate negotiations, so far in vain. This week, the United States asked to use its base in eastern Turkey for the war, a Trumpian way of testing who is with us and who is against us. Erdogan nearly swallowed his tongue.

Wow!!! What a Story!!!
I was a Black woman. He was Jewish.
When we told his family we planned to marry, the door closed — literally. We were asked to leave their home that same night. Friends stepped back. Landlords suddenly had “no vacancies.”
Even the community center where we hoped to get help turned us away. We had no money and nowhere to go.
The only person who didn’t hesitate was a small-town rabbi who said, “Love doesn’t need approval.” He helped us find a room and work. It wasn’t easy, but it was enough. We married quietly. Built a life piece by piece. Raised three children who learned both traditions at one table.
Now we’re seventy-five. We have five grandchildren. People once tried to separate us. Instead, they taught us how to stay.

Tucker Carlson lied about being probed by CIA,
Senior White House officials pushed back on claims that the CIA is investigating far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson, denying that the agency is taking action against the former Fox News host.
On Sunday, Carlson released a five-minute video message alleging that the CIA has opened an investigation into his ties to Iran, claiming that the agency is working on a criminal referral to the Justice Department over alleged Foreign Agents Registration Act violations.
“The other day, I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a crime report to the Department of Justice on the basis of a supposed crime I committed,” Carlson said.
The 56-year-old pundit claimed the probe was ordered in response to his criticism of the State of Israel.
“There are some people who are mad at me for my views about Israel, and they have some latitude,” he said.
Last year, Carlson interviewed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, sparking controversy after critics noted he failed to even mention Iran’s numerous human rights abuses, its nuclear program, or its plots to assassinate President Donald Trump.
By Sunday night, however, senior Trump administration officials denied Carlson’s allegation that the CIA had read his private messages, rejecting the podcaster’s claims of an investigation.
According to a report by Axios, multiple top administration officials said that there is no CIA investigation of Carlson and that the CIA is not referring a case against Carlson to the Department of Justice, the National Security Agency, or any other federal law enforcement, intelligence, or security body.
Carlson’s explosive claim fueled speculation online that President Donald Trump knowingly fed Carlson false information regarding his intentions vis-à-vis Iran during a February 11 White House meeting, knowing that Carlson would pass on Trump’s claims to Iran that the US was not planning strikes.
But the officials cited in the Axios report emphasized that Trump did not try to mislead Carlson during their White House meeting.
The two “politely disagreed,” the report said, with the president insisting that Iran posed a threat to the United States.
Chassidishe Influencer and Chef Raizy Fried Says that "When Moshiach will come, the entire world is going to be Erez Yisrael, and Eretz Yisrael will be Yerushalyim"
This is what they teach Chassidishe girls in their Bais Yaakovs to make sure that they never yearn for Eretz Yisrael!
They want them in Boro-Park, Williamsburg, Lakewood, Monroe, Monsey, Manchester, London etc etc, forever, after all "Boro_Park will be Eretz Yisrael when Moshiach comes"
She adds, that come the "Shuuulish Reguuulim" they will be "Oilei Regel" to the present Eretz Yisruuil!
She said that there many "SHITAS" on what will take place, and this is one of them!
Wow! So much to digest!
So the bracha we make in Shemonah Esreh three times a day
תְּקַע בְּשׁוֹפָר גָּדוֹל לְחֵרוּתֵֽנוּ וְשָׂא נֵס לְקַבֵּץ גָּלֻיּוֹתֵֽינוּ וְקַבְּ֒צֵֽנוּ יַֽחַד מְהֵרָה מֵאַרְבַּע כַּנְפוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ לְאַרְצֵֽנוּ: בָּרוּךְ
אַתָּה יְהֹוָה מְקַבֵּץ נִדְחֵי עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל:
"That the RBS"O "will gather in the exiles," and BRING them to Eretz Yisrael
means absolutely nothing
What about the Mussaf Prayer that we say on Rosh Chodosh?
יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁתַּעֲלֵנוּ בְשִׂמְחָה לְאַרְצֵנוּ וְתִטָּעֵנוּ בִּגְבוּלֵנוּ,?
Are those who recite this prayer and believe in Raizy's SHITAH lying
You know who also thought that this will happen when Moshiach comes??
The Jews pre-WW2! That's who!
Let's see, where are those homes in Europe now?
Where is Telz, Vilna, Bobov, Satmara, Ger , Kloizenberg, Pupa, Volozhin etc...
How many members of those kehilos were gassed to death?
I have news for Raizy:
The Torah itself explicitly writes the borders of Eretz Yisrael, and guess what?
It doesn't include Boro-Park or even Kiryas Yoel or New Skver!
There is a huge debate in Shas whether land that was later conquered even by Dovid Hamelech like Syria is
“קידשא לעתיד לבוא” “קידשא לשעתא” whether the holiness is only for that time or even in the future!
Even the southern city Eilat in Israel is Chutz Leaaretz according to most Meforshim! But Boro-Park???
The RBS"O is obsessed with Eretz Yisrael, most of the 613 mitzvois can only be performed in Eretz Yisrael, the entire Chumash is the journey of Klall Yisrael to guess where? The entire Tanach took place in Eretz Yisrael!
Is it any wonder that Chassidim and Yeshivishe Girls and Boys have absolutely no connection to Eretz Yisrael? Some are even taught to hate Israel, I'm not talking about the Zionist government, I'm talking about Erez Yisrael; they no longer distiguish between the Government and the "medina"
There is no internal love for the land that most of Klall Yisrael yearned for over 2000 years! They now refer to Eretz Yisrael disparagingly as the "medina"
Raizy, is not alone in this misguided idea that somehow when the Mashiach comes Boro-Park will become Erez Yisrael, this crazy "SHITah" was and is embedded in Chassidishe girls and it begs the question, "why would any Chassidishe Boro-Park girl ever have any connection spiritually to the Land that the RBS"O gave us?"
Raizy! If that SHITAH is in fact true then why did the Baal Shem Tov and the Vilna Gaon plan to make Aliya? For what reason?
Why did the Talmedei Baal Shem and the Talmeidei Hagra actually make Aliya if Mezebich and Vilna would be part of Eretz Yisrael?
Why did the Yaavetz, R' Yaakov Me'Emdin write in his siddur in his "Sulam" that all the troubles that come to Jews is because that they are not interested in making Aliyah?
Why would they need to make Aliya if they can just stay and wait like Raizy and the rest of the Boro-Park yentas?
I don't begrudge Raizy Fried her new home in Chutz Le'aaretz, and I truly believe she is a really a kind benevolent Eishas Chayil and deserves everything that God chose to give her and I believe she is a real Kiddush Hashem, but her views are naive, misguided and spiritually dangerous to her children!
Below her video, I included some comments that actually criticize her, but know that most of the comments were very supportive of her!
I'm reminded of a girl I knew from Brooklyn College whose first name was "Raizy" and we called her "Crazy Raizy" ..Just sayin'
"I have never seen a more blatant disregard for Torah and its opinions. This is completely against major mefarshim and achronim, the gemara, and the Torah itself. To disregard what us Israelis are going through is a stab to the heart."

"I understand your response, but, not saying, even in this video, that you are praying for the safety of the Jews in eretz yisrael is upsetting. She’s not just “stressed.”
by lisarichphoto
Is "UNDER STRESS" all you have to say about what your sisters and brothers are going through in Israel? I think you give more attention to your wallpaper choice than you do to your nation in Israel.

"I don't think it's possible for someone that's not here to fully grasp what we're going thru. To have over 70 sirens in the past 2 weeks and to have to get everyone in the shelter on time at all hours of day and night. Some having to go down a few flights, some down the block and some don't have shelters. And many like you with their husband's not home and in dangerous situations..forget abt the warnings first that make your heart jump out...(but still glad we have them b4 a siren.) All this with obviously everyone home and pesach is almost here! I can't expect the outsiders to understand it but we can definitely give a shout out to those that are doing things for us. @daliaoziel is so thoughtful! Check out her stories. Davening for you and all of us here and for all of klal Yisroel!"
by theyaelbendahan
"@lisarichphoto 👏👏👏 this. Yeah we’re under a little stress. I love waking my toddler up from his one nap of the day to run to the mamad. I can totally see myself being ready for Pesach with all my kids home, pregnant and with my paramedic husband filling in for all the ones who are in miluim. But you know as long as someone’s lecturing me about how she really wants Mashiach while showing off her new kitchen I feel like things can really be okay."
by bex_burg
"@raizyscookin unfortunately, saying that something is a “given” just doesn’t hit the same way. Saying it out loud , sending us a hug from afar, using your power on social media to bring attention to the ongoing insanity that is our lives atm- that shows us empathy. The Jews in Israel are not crying out for no reason . We feel abandoned. We feel ignored . So no, respectfully, nothing is a given anymore ."

"I’ve never heard that as a possibility that the whole world will become EY & I’ve been frum all my life (educated in both Bais Yaakov & Bais Rivka) 🤷♀️."
Armies are not required to risk soldiers’ lives to protect enemy civilians
Much of the legal debate about Israel’s conduct in Gaza has focused on proportionality — whether the civilian harm caused by specific strikes was excessive relative to the military advantage gained. A War on the Rocks article by Orbach, Boxman, Henkin, and Braverman makes a crucial clarification that has been largely absent from that debate: under international law, proportionality is assessed strike by strike, not cumulatively across an entire campaign. The scale of destruction in Gaza cannot, by itself, constitute evidence of disproportionality. Each attack must be evaluated against its specific military objective and the foreseeable harm at the moment of decision.
But proportionality and distinction — the two principles that dominate public discourse about Gaza — are not the only ethical considerations governing how armies fight. There is a third, and it is the one Israel’s critics most consistently ignore: the obligation to protect one’s own forces, and the corresponding right to transfer risk away from soldiers when military necessity demands it.
The Law is Not a One-Way Street
Iran’s intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib Eliminated
BREAKING: Defense Minister Israel Katz announces that Iran’s intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib, was eliminated in an Israeli airstrike in Tehran overnight.
The strike, first reported by Iran International and later confirmed by an Israeli official, marks another major hit on the Iranian regime’s senior leadership as Israel expands its campaign inside Iran.
Katz also said “significant surprises” are expected today that will escalate the war against Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, adding that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have authorized the IDF to eliminate any senior Iranian figure without requiring further approval.
