Trump dealt Israel a strategic blow and eroded the gains against Iran

by  by  Danny Zaken

The Israeli leadership had early concerns about a scenario in which US President Donald Trump would "turn" on Israel, and there is no way to downplay the scale of the strategic blow contained in the "shouting call" Trump held Monday night with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and especially in its publication.

There is no dispute that, until now, Trump has been considered the best president the State of Israel has ever had. The excellent relationship with him during his first term brought about the Abraham Accords and led to the cancellation of the terrible nuclear deal advanced by the Obama administration. This was joined by the relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem and the fundamental shift in the American approach to Judea and Samaria and the Golan Heights.

Finally a Rebuke from a Gadol attacking the Charedie position that "Torah Scholars are exempt from Military Service"

Harav Hatzaddik Yaakov Levanon Shlita

!לא תעמוד על דם רעך

 Rabbi Yaakov Levanon, one of the rabbis of Har Hamor Yeshiva, attacked the Haredi position that Torah scholars are exempt from military service in a special lecture.

"No Torah scholar is exempt. If there is a battle involving lives, then you're exempt? How can anyone say something so horrific? Let me use the word 'horrific.' I want you to understand. Are there different opinions here? No, there are no opinions. This is a horrific opinion."

The rabbi intensified his remarks and added:

"To say that a Torah scholar is not included in a situation of saving lives, that he does not come to help? This drives me crazy. I can't say more than that, so I will stick to using the word 'horrific.' From a Torah perspective, it is horrific to say such a thing."

He went on to describe the feelings that this position arouses in him.

"It is cruelty. It is contemptible. It reflects a complete lack of basic moral character. That's what it is."

To illustrate his argument, he gave an example from everyday life:

"Let's see what happens in his own home. The kollel student from Ponevezh would run like a Golani reconnaissance soldier to shut off a leaking faucet or take a scorching-hot frying pan and carry it outside to the balcony. His wife can't do that herself. But when it comes to the Jewish people as a whole, suddenly he's exempt."

The rabbi added that his difficulty with this position stems precisely from his commitment to the honor of Torah.

"It destroys me. I feel anguish for the Torah when I hear this. This is not honoring the Torah; it is destroying the Torah. Saying that Torah scholars are exempt is not honoring the Torah. I cannot live with this idea."

Behavior Of the Bnei-Torah ...the future Gedoilei Yisrael

For those criticizing me and telling me that I hate Chardeim, I am just posting what they are doing, and I get these posts from the  Charedie social media sites themselves! Why don't you address this to their Roshei Yeshiva who are encouraging these riots! 

And I love it when they comment, "what about the leftists protests?" and that's exactly what I am agreeing with, they are exactly the same, their Torah Learning has had zero influence on them! There is no difference between  Bnei-Torah and the Kaplanistim! Finally we agree!

Watch an Old lady beg Bnei-Torah to let her get to her home, they laugh and mock her!

Trump reportedly tears into Netanyahu over Hezbollah strikes: “You’re f–king crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass".

 

President Trump reportedly tore into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, demanding the leader resist strikes on Hezbollah in an expletive-laden phone call.

The tense call came after Iran threatened to withdraw from negotiations with the US after Israel ordered strikes on terrorists in southern Beirut — with Axios reporting the president at one point asking, “What the f–k are you doing?”

“You’re f–king crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” a US official told Axios, summarizing Trump’s comments.

Another source described Trump as sounding “pissed,” and claimed the president “steamrolled” the Israeli prime minister on the call. 

“Bibi said, ‘OK, OK, just make sure everything is taken care of,'” the second official said. 

The president was reportedly aware Hezbollah had been firing on Israeli troops but concerned that Netanyahu was disproportionately escalating the situation — and potentially hurting US negotiations with Tehran. 

Shortly after the call, Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social: “I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back.

“Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu said after the call that Israel’s stance on striking Hezbollah “remains unchanged.”

“Tonight, I spoke with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens — Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut,” he said. “This stance of ours remains unchanged.”

“In parallel, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon,” he added.

Charediem Considering to be just like the EU Pro Hamas groups ...looking to boycott Israeli Products

 

Charedim are totally disconnected with the rest of Klall Yisrael and don't care what other Jews living in Israel are going through. They don't have any empathy for mothers who have lost children in the war, who have lost husbands in the war, families who have lost their business because of having to spend months on the front! They are now contemplating taking a page out of the EU boycotts against Israeli products and implementing similar tactics!   זו תורה! 

The United Torah Judaism party decided during its faction meeting on Monday to consider economic protest measures against major Israeli commercial companies amid the recent wave of arrests of haredi draft dodgers.

According to sources in the party, the emerging model is not a broad and scattered boycott, but a calculated economic move: the targeted selection of one giant company at a time, for which the haredi sector constitutes a significant market share, but whose products can be replaced with other available substitutes.

According to the sources, the goal is to impact the large companies' financial statements so significantly that their management themselves go to the Finance Ministry and beg for a framework to stop the arrests.

MK Meir Porush explained the rationale behind the idea: "For a month, we don't buy from a big company, the next month, we don't buy from another company. An entire corporation should feel our absence, the immense pain felt by the entire haredi public."

 Protesters Halt Train Traffic Near Gannot*

Train service in the Gannot area has  been suspended after Charedie protesters sat on the railway tracks during demonstrations against military draft policies.

Ongoing ultra-Orthodox draft protests and the suspension of train service are now affecting air travel, with reports indicating that  flights across Israel are departing behind schedule.

The disruptions come as demonstrations continue to impact major transportation routes nationwide.

Most trains between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv have been halted as ultra-orthodox rioters jump fences and block Israel’s high speed railway in protest of IDF draft laws. 

Trains with thousands of passengers are being forced to return to Tel Aviv while on their way to Jerusalem. 

Chaos at the entrance to Jerusalem as protestors crawl under buses blocking rush hour traffic 

 Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox demonstrated across Israel on Monday, blocking roads and trains and setting cars on fire to protest mandatory enlistment in Israel’s military.

Three Goyim.. Kathy Hochul and Letitia James & Mamzarani are Upset That the Jew Smotrich Marched in Israel Parade!

 New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Letitia James, attorney general of New York, decried the participation of the Jewish state’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, at the Israel Day on Fifth parade in New York City on May 31.

Smotrich, who has been elected to the Knesset, is Jewish. Hochul and James are not.

“Bezalel Smotrich is a far-right extremist, whose hateful and divisive rhetoric is fundamentally at odds with the values we hold dear in New York,” Hochul stated. “Yesterday’s parade was a celebration of Jewish pride, community and unity. I strongly condemn his participation.”

“Islamophobia has no place in New York,” James said. “I unequivocally condemn Bezalel Smotrich’s hateful rhetoric.”

Zohran Mamdani, mayor of New York City who has said that he would have the Israeli prime minister arrested in the Big Apple and whose spokeswoman said that synagogues violate international law when they hold pro-Israel events, told MS Now that he is “offended” by Smotrich’s participation in the parade.

Mandani skipped the parade, which his predecessors have attended for 60 years.

Morton Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America, told JNS that the “left wing always talks of unity, yet hypocritically they fight to harm unity by wishing to exclude an elected and effective Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich.”

“The left smears and defames anyone who disagrees with them in order to reduce the target’s credibility to make them less effective,” Klein said. “They can’t tolerate Smotrich’s support for the right of Jews to live in Judea and Samaria, the heart of Israel, yet they would never deny the right of Arabs to live anywhere in Israel.”

“The left are simply frightened appeasers of the Arab enemy,” he added.

Jesse Arm, vice president of external affairs at the Manhattan Institute, stated that “yesterday, Israel’s finance minister got on a plane to march in the UJA-Federation of New York’s Israel parade. New York’s mayor couldn’t be bothered.”

“The former would like to be your friend. The latter wants to spit in your eye,” Arm wrote.

Hasan Piker, a podcaster who has praised Hamas, said that Smotrich attending the parade amounted to having a Nazi there.

“This from the guy who said Hamas is ‘a thousand times better’ than Israel after Hamas attempted to exterminate the Jews,” wrote Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.). “Your Nazi detector might be broken, Hasan.”

Rabbi Aron Sokol takes on Yaakov Shapiro the Satmar/Neturei Karta Spokesperson

Yaakov Shapiro the Menuval

Rabbi Aron Sokol is being too respectful on this video of this bono-fide menuval, Yaakov Shapiro, who is also the author of the hateful book "The Empty Wagon!"

He is also the owner of a Nazi website called "Torah True Jews" which isn't Torah and isn't true.  You need a barf bag when listening to his vile hateful rants against the only Jewish State. Everything that he states can and was already refuted by legitimate talmedei chachamim.  

I will in a future post totally destroy all his damned lies.

One of his central arguments — quoting the Satmar Rebbe — is that the Six‑Day War was not a miracle at all. According to this view, what looked like open miracles was actually the work of the “samech‑mem,” the devil, and the entire war was supposedly unnecessary, engineered by Zionists who wanted more territory.

Then comes the contradiction.

On one hand, he claims the Zionists won because they were “by far the strongest army in the Middle East.” On the other hand, he condemns the army for saying exactly that — accusing them of kochi v’otzem yadi.

You can’t have it both ways.

If the IDF was naturally stronger, then acknowledging that strength is not heresy — it’s honesty. If the victory was supernatural, then dismissing it as “the samech‑mem” is theological acrobatics.

And this is where the irony becomes impossible to ignore.

But anyone who remembers those days in 1967 knows that the entire Satmar premise is a delusionary fantasy, and the Zionist State was fighting a defensive war and had absolutely no intention of capturing any land except for the Golan Heights, and every word of the "Al Hagila" sounds like a spoiled child that didn't get his way!

In the video, Schapiro, calls Harav Hagoen Avraham Yitzchok Hakohein Kook z"l , a "Meshiginer Philosopher" ...This vile piece of scum is the voice of Satmar!

Before you watch the video know that Yaakob Schapiro is being accused by married women of being inappropriate:

(17) Isaac Choua on X: "Does anyone have more information about this? Link below. “Yaakov Shapiro is a rav in Bayswater, NY. I was an innocent and naive kollel wife in Lakewood … my then-husband heard him speak about chinuch and youth at risk, and decided to involve him in our marital issues. I was" / X

Mazal Tov! Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld's Grandchild, Enlists in the IDF!

 MEET AN UNKNOWN ISRAELI HERO

His name is Motti. He is 70-years-old.

He is the grandson of Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, leader of the Haredi community during the British Mandate of Palestine.

He studied in top, mainstream Haredi yeshivas.

Motti is a successful businessman.

And now he is…an IDF soldier.

That’s right.

He recently enlisted in the IDF saying:

“My father fought in the War of Independence. My son is a combat soldier. I always felt like something was missing. I think the IDF uniform is holy clothing. It’s a symbol of unity and this is the most important thing that the nation of Israel needs today.”

Wishing Motti great success in his service.

Macron’s Beaufort Blunder Reveals European Decline

 

French President Emmanuel Macron declared on May 29, 2026, that “nothing justifies the Israeli strikes conducted in southern Lebanon.” He called Israel’s operations unacceptable under international law. Forty-eight hours later, the Israel Defense Forces seized Beaufort Castle and the 14.5-kilometer Beaufort Ridge. The sequence did not expose Israeli recklessness. It exposed Europe’s strategic decay.

Beaufort marks Israel’s deepest ground operation in southern Lebanon since its 2000 withdrawal from the security zone. It followed repeated Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks that shattered the April 2026 ceasefire and threatened northern Israeli communities.

Beaufort Castle is not symbolic terrain; it is decisive ground. The ridge dominates the Litani River and the Nabatiyeh plateau. Hezbollah used those heights for surveillance posts and launch sites aimed at Israel. Whoever holds Beaufort controls observation, movement, and interdiction across the border sector. Israel learned that lesson on Mount Hermon. It will not sacrifice civilians in Kiryat Shmona, Metula, or the Galilee to satisfy European discomfort.

Singer and songwriter Yonatan Razel Who wrote the popular Tune "Ochi Lo L'keil" has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke.

 Singer and songwriter Yonatan Razel has been hospitalized at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in serious condition after suffering a stroke.

His family has appealed to the public to pray for his recovery. His full name for prayer is Yonatan Adi ben Chaya Rachel.

The news of his medical condition has caused great concern among his colleagues in the music field as well as his fans.

He is also the brother of musician Rika Razel and the cousin of violinist Nitzan-Chen Razel.

Israel captures medieval Crusader castle in Lebanon

 It’s been called the last strategically significant castle in the world — and now Israel holds it.

Israeli troops captured Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon as it campaigns against Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah in the country.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the seizure of the hilltop Crusader fortress as “a dramatic stage and dramatic change in our policy.”

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shared pictures of the Israeli flag being raised above the 900-year-old fortress, which was constructed on a cliffside high above the Litani River.

The position gives Israeli troops a commanding lookout post over much of southern Lebanon and northern Israel.

Zionism is no longer the biggest threat in Satmar! It's AI!

B"H for AI! He is going to leave us alone for awhile!
 

The Satmar Rebbe on Thursday delivered an emergency address broadcast live to all Satmar institutions around the world, harshly attacking artificial intelligence.

In his remarks, the Rebbe called on his hasidim to distance themselves from any device that enables access to AI - including "kosher" phones approved for use by haredim.

"On every phone in the home, even on a kosher phone, one can connect to this impurity in a single moment," he said. "There are many victims - young boys, girls, and even married yeshiva students. They are falling and descending directly into hell."

The Rebbe defined AI as a threat more severe than any previous threat, comparing it to the battles the haredi world waged in the past against computers, videos, and smartphones.

"Back then, there was a solution - not to bring these devices into the home," he said. "This time there is no such solution. It is everywhere, and parents have no supervision."

"Anyone who knows of another person who has a connection to AI is obligated to report immediately to the administration of the institution. If he does not say anything, he bears the sin."

Beit Shemesh: Charedim storm police station

 

Violent clashes broke out early Monday morning near the Beit Shemesh police station following the attempted arrest of a young haredi man suspected of evading military service.

According to a police statement, the unrest began after Military Police removed the suspect from the scene. In response, dozens of extremist haredi demonstrators gathered outside the city's police station. Some attempted to breach the station's perimeter and set fire to nearby vegetation, which was extinguished before spreading to adjacent buildings.

Jerusalem District Police forces and Border Police officers were deployed to the scene. They used batons and stun grenades to disperse the rioters, successfully restoring order and regaining control of the station complex.

No injuries have been reported.

Talmidim of Harav Dov Kook go up to Har Habyis to Daven on his behalf

 

The Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi just released a statement on Har HaBayis that contradicts an entire polemic that he gave himself in the span of just a few days.

On the one hand, he delivers a whole halachic discourse on how one should bow on Har HaBayis — the angles, the posture, the kavanos — and then, in just a few days he issues a sweeping prohibition against going up at all.

Everyone understands what’s going on here.

The Chief Rabbinate has, for decades, taken its cues from the political establishment. It was built as an arm of the secular government, and its positions on Har HaBayis have always reflected that reality. This latest psak isn’t about halachah — it’s about maintaining the traditional political line.

And instead of thinking independently, instead of addressing the real halachic discussions happening across the Torah world, he simply defaulted to the old script.

But the Torah world has moved on.

In the video below, you can see respected chareidi rabbanim — serious poskim, not fringe voices — who permit ascending Har HaBayis lechatchilah, with clear halachic guidelines, based on Chazal, Rishonim, and the Rambam’s own descriptions of the Mikdash boundaries.

So when a talmid asks the obvious question — “How can you write a whole treatise on how to bow on Har HaBayis and then prohibit going up?” — he’s not being disrespectful. He’s being honest.

Because the contradiction is real. And the political pressure behind it is real. And the growing number of Torah authorities who reject that pressure is also very real.

The Chief Rabbinate can keep issuing statements that try to satisfy the government, but the Torah world is no longer pretending not to notice the gap between halachic reality and political convenience.

If the Chief Rabbinate wants to forbid Har HaBayis, fine — but writing a whole guide on how to bow there before prohibiting it is the kind of contradiction that only happens when politics holds the pen.

The train bound for Auschwitz. 1942. The Footage now in color

The train bound for Auschwitz. 1942.

Seeing this footage in color makes the unimaginable feel real. These are not distant figures from a history book. They are mothers, fathers, children, grandparents. People dressed in their Sunday best, carrying bags, holding loved ones close, unaware of the horror awaiting them.

For many, this journey ended at the gas chambers.

Six million Jews were murdered in just four years.

The Holocaust was not ancient history. It happened within living memory to ordinary people whose lives, dreams, and futures were stolen.

Never Again is not a slogan.

The deep divide between the Charedie & Dati-Leumi Culture!

Moshe Gafni, had an interview with Haaretz 2017, and made the following outrageous comment.

“I am not on the right, on policy issues I stand closer to the Left’s position,” and declared that “the Palestinians were here before us and we displaced them."

What a sick perverted piece of slime! "Palestinians were here before us?" Mamash what Hamas says and is an outrageous lie! 

by  Leonard Oberstein

I discussed the army issue with a chareidi person and see that we does not live in the same reality. The very existence of the State of Israel is not that vital to him. He says you can't draft weak students because they will become non religious and that there is a war between the secular who want to destroy our yeshivos and the olom hatorah. In other words, the existence of Israel as an independent country is not at all his priority. This person didn't make it up. Ther hashkafa which prioritizes the safety and existence of the Jewish State is not his concern. What matters is the religious security of the haredi populace . Torah is the only priority. Even if this person lives in Israel, that is not a permanent situation. If the existence of Israel harms the kedusha of the people, then it is not necessarily permanent.

Is what this person told me accurate or am I speaking about a daas yochid.

Another thing. They either ignore or denigrate the units created for observant men. Both Netzach Yehudah and Hashmonaim are not a factor. They might as well not exist. These people feel no obligation to defend their homes and family, that is totally outside of their zone. The claim that they are learning and thus they are the defenders is just a point to pull out but it is not the real reason. The crowning remark is "We were here first." This means that before the Zionistts messed things up we lived in harmony with the Arabs. That may not be factual and the ones who say it may be students on a gap year from the US, but it is their main argument.

Rabbi Leonard Oberstein, who I've never met but who I've come to deeply admire and respect, has published a number of deeply respectful and thoughtful posts about the refusal of Haredim, especially Lithuanians, to serve in the IDF.

In the latest one, he noted that Haredim object that drafting anyone is dangerous, especially weaker students because they may abandon a life of Torah and mitzvos.

It hit me that such an assertion is a condemnation of the entire Haredi educational system. It is incapable of meeting any kind of intellectual, spiritual or cultural challenge. Its Judaism is so vulnerable that unless they are kept in an insulated cocoon, it cannot survive. The faith that confronted, and whose gedolim successfully confronted every single trend in world history has, in their hands, become feckless and feeble.

One could, of course, object that withdrawal into ghettoes worked to staunch the effects of the enlightenment and the emancipation. That's partly true, but it no longer obtains. The isolated gedolim can scream bloody murder against computers, the internet and AI. They are helpless and unable to stop them from penetrating their walls. The only way to preserve religious integrity is, ironically enough, judicial and critical confrontation and partial integration. Muscles exercised are stronger than those left to wither. The Haredi ideologues have signed the termination warrants of their own world if they continue to stick their heads in the sand.

Ironically, they have created precisely the conditions that took such a toll on traditional Jewry after 1789.
