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"
Rabbi Dr. Yitzchak Breitowitz, lecturer at Ohr Somayach Jerusalem, detailed in his lesson the boundaries and laws of impurity regarding those who ascend the Temple Mount and are careful to immerse before visiting the Mount.
Rabbi Breitowitz noted that a person who is impure due to contact with the dead may enter a large area of the Temple Mount, but he may not go near where the Holy of Holies stood.
"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."
He added,
"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."
Rabbi Breitowitz stressed, "There are religious people who go. You will always notice that they do have a requirement that if you want to go to the Har Habayis, you must go to the mikveh (ritual bath)."
Additionally, he noted, the Orthodox groups that go have prepared very careful maps, and at the same time, "there are also those who are so stringent that they do not even go to the Western Wall."
Rabbi Breitowitz joins a growing list of haredi rabbis who encourage ascending the Temple Mount, and some of whom even ascend the Temple Mount themselves. Among these are Rabbi Dov Kook, Rabbi Daniel Stavsky, Rabbi Mendel Tobias, and Rabbi Yitzchak Brand, as well as rabbis Tikochinsky, Frank, Zilberman, and Rosenthal.
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
The Satmar Rebbe and the Destruction of Hungarian Jewry: Part 1
This is the first of a two-part investigation into the life of the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum. Part two on Sunday
In her book Be-Seter Ha-Madrega (In the Covert of the Cliff), Haredi Holocaust historian Esther Farbstein writes, “Rabbi Yoel (Yoelish) of Satmar was unquestionably chief among leaders [of Haredi Jews in Hungary].” If Farbstein is correct in her claim, Rabbi Yoel’s conduct before, during, and after the Holocaust may explain, albeit only partially, the extraordinary devastation suffered by the Hungarian Orthodox community, which had regarded him as “chief among leaders.”
The first section of this article describes Rabbi Yoel’s life and actions during the Holocaust, both on personal and public levels, as reflected in his writings, the contemporary press, memoirs written by his Hasidim, and archival sources. In many cases, researchers note that Rabbi Yoel’s position regarding the Holocaust was extreme and exceptional compared to views held by other rabbis and spokespeople of the Haredi community. Yet the worldview he cultivated, coupled with his theological explanations of the Holocaust and its mystical meaning, drew a growing number of followers, in whose eyes he was the last remnant of a dying ideology. His anti-Zionist worldview, representing as it did to them the Eastern European “Old Home,” expunged his failures during the Holocaust. As his public stature grew, criticism from within diminished, while criticism from without was disregarded and dismissed as Zionist defamation.
As I argue in greater detail in the following, Rabbi Yoel’s life, activities, and decisions during the Holocaust and his pressing need to explain and justify them thereafter offer a possible explanation for the extremism of his later views. Any fair examination of the historical record shows that Rabbi Yoel’s contribution to assisting Jewish refugees and to the rescue of Transylvanian Haredi Jews was negligible. Prior to the Holocaust, he ignored the dangers threatening the Jews of Transylvania and failed to engage in the preparation of rescue and aid plans. Although he became privy to reports on the extermination of the Jewish communities in Poland, given his position as a member of the Central Bureau and through his connections with the authorities, he refrained from calling on his followers to save or prepare themselves. On the contrary, he warned any would-be immigrants to Palestine or other countries that they were in danger of severely harming their Haredi way of life. Moreover, he refrained from cooperating with the Zionist—and even with the Haredi—leadership in addressing current issues or preparing for the impending threat and even opposed measures of a religious nature, such as prayer and fast days, which he feared would be perceived as a protest against the authorities.
When the danger of war became real and immediate, Rabbi Yoel did his best to equip himself and his closest circle with certificates or visas that would facilitate their escape to Palestine or the United States. At the same time, he thwarted all attempts at cooperation between the heads of the Orthodox communities and the Zionist organizations, which could have helped to rescue them. He failed to set a personal example and rejected his associates’ advice to prepare a hiding place or attempt to cross the border to Romania. Had he done so, some of his Hasidim may have done the same and thus survived.
Sid Rosenberg has a question for Satmar!
I did notice a few Satmar Rabbis sucking up to our Antisemite Mayor last night. Why? Just answer why? Don’t the young Israeli girls who were gang raped and dismembered deserve better from their own people? I’m curious? You had to go to Gracie Mansion to celebrate Shavuot? Why?…

CODE PINK Medea Benjamin has ties to Hamas and Iran
A millionaire anti-war activist who organized the high-profile “humanitarian aid” convoy to Cuba in March has ties to Hamas and the Iranian regime.
The aid flotilla to Cuba attracted much attention as it included Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi and leftist streamer Hasan Piker — who both sung the praises of the ailing Communist ‘paradise’ after their trip.
It was organized by Medea Benjamin, president of the Arc of Justice Foundation, a charity with $51 million at its disposal.
Albert Itzkowitz Longtime owner of NYC kosher bakery, 75, found shot to death along Queens shoreline
A prominent elderly member of the Jewish community and longtime bakery owner was found shot to death along a Queens shoreline, according to authorities and reports.
Cops discovered the body of Albert Itzkowitz, 75, along the Kissena Lake shoreline in Flushing just before 5:00 p.m. on Monday, according to the NYPD.
Itzkowitz sustained gunshot wounds to his neck and back and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. It’s unclear how long his body had been sitting near the quiet, picturesque lake.
He was a former volunteer with Hatzolah, a Jewish emergency medical service, Yeshiva World News reported.
Itzkowitz also owned the G&I Kosher Bakery on Main Street, a neighborhood institution for several years before it shut down, the Orthodox Jewish outlet said.
Chesed Shel Emes volunteers were on the scene to ensure a proper burial for Itzkowitz, the outlet reported.
The circumstances surrounding his death are not immediately clear.
The incident remains under investigation, cops said.
We are all settlers now
Sometimes the incessant braying of ill or uninformed demonizers counterintuitively contains and conveys a certain “wisdom:" That wisdom might be summed up as the realization that there is no judgment, no discernment coming from the haters, and therefore no explanation, let alone apology is needed.
Quite the opposite: ironically, blind and thoughtless hatred provides a certain clarity that allows us to see things for what they truly are.
The demonization of the evil “settlers" is a great case in point. The excoriation of settlers started as a way to denigrate and to demonize Hilltop Youth mendaciously as marauding bands of violent thugs who were wantonly preying on innocent Palestinians.
Victory for Trump: Thomas Massie defeated in Kentucky primary
Long-time Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) is projected to lose his Kentucky House primary election.
According to projections from Decision Desk HQ on Tuesday, the high-stakes race in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District has been clinched by Ed Gallrein, a retired Navy SEAL and farmer who was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
The structural shakeup officially terminates Massie’s 14-year tenure representing the deep-red district. The primary battle garnered intense national scrutiny, transforming into an extraordinarily bitter ideological war zone that shattered all historical spending records for a congressional primary.
The campaign brought prominent national figures to the state to push voters across the finish line. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth flew to Kentucky on Monday to personally campaign for Gallrein. Simultaneously, President Trump utilized his massive platform on Monday to deliver a final blow, renewing his public demand that Massie be “thrown out of office."
Massie, a steadfast libertarian Republican, has spent over a decade building a reputation for an uncompromising independent streak. However, he found himself increasingly isolated and at odds with the White House over the past year on issues of paramount importance to the executive branch.
The maverick congressman helped spearhead the legislative push demanding the administration release files on Jeffrey Epstein, frequently lambasted the establishment's foreign policy consensus, and aggressively voted against Trump’s signature tax and spending legislation, citing principled fiscal concerns about skyrocketing deficit spending.
Among the issues of contention between Massie and Trump was the US foreign aid to Israel. Massie has repeatedly voted against military assistance packages to Israel, including being the sole Republican to oppose $1 billion in Iron Dome funding in 2021 and the only GOP member to vote against a 2023 resolution affirming US support for Israel's military actions in Gaza following the October 7 Hamas attacks.
Massie has also been a vocal opponent of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), introducing legislation to require it to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and highlighting what he sees as its outsized influence in U.S. politics through campaign spending.
US Senate votes to advance resolution restricting Trump's actions in Iran
The United States Senate voted on Tuesday to advance a controversial war powers resolution aimed at forcing President Donald Trump to withdraw American military forces currently engaged in hostilities against the Iranian regime, after previously failing to approve similar measures.
The political shift was propelled by Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who lost his bid for a third term in Louisiana’s Republican primary just days prior on Saturday. Turning against his party's congressional leadership, Cassidy became the fourth Republican lawmaker to cross the aisle and vote in favor of the measure, according to The Hill.
With Cassidy’s backing, the Senate successfully passed a motion to discharge the war powers resolution out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by a narrow margin of 50 to 47. The procedural victory, originally sponsored by Democratic Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), sets the stage for an upcoming floor vote to formally consider the mandate.
Cassidy joined three other long-standing Republican critics of the administration’s foreign policy interventions: Senators Rand Paul (R-KY), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).
Conversely, the vote exposed minor fractures within the opposition party. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) broke lockstep with his caucus, standing alone as the solitary Democrat who voted to block the resolution from advancing to the Senate floor.
Tuesday’s razor-thin victory represents a symbolic milestone for congressional opponents of the war. It marks the eighth time since the initial outbreak of military operations that the Senate has voted on a motion to advance a resolution ordering Trump to cease hostilities against Iran, but it is the first time that such a motion has successfully advanced out of committee.
Despite the procedural breakthrough, the anti-war resolution faces an insurmountable path before it can exert any actual force of law. Even if the full Senate manages to gather enough votes to pass the war powers restriction, the exact same measure would still need to clear the House of Representatives and receive the president's signature.
President Trump remains certain to veto any legislative attempt to restrict his commander-in-chief authorities, and the current congressional coalition lacks the necessary two-thirds supermajority support in both legislative chambers required to override an executive veto.
Toronto Police Escalate Search for Missing 14-Year-Old Esther ‘Esti’ to Priority 1
Toronto Police have elevated the search for a missing 14-year-old girl known as Esther or Esti to Priority 1 status, dedicating all available resources as community volunteers join the effort to bring her home safely.
Esther was last seen late Friday evening, May 15, 2026, near Earl Bales Park in the Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue West area of North York. She is described as 5-foot-2 with a medium build and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a green long-sleeve shirt, gray sweatpants and no shoes.
The search has intensified with hundreds of volunteers from Toronto’s Jewish community, including Shomrim Safety Patrol, assisting police with door-to-door canvassing, flyer distribution and searches in the wooded park and surrounding areas. A command center has operated from the Petah Tikvah Synagogue parking lot at 20 Danby Rd.
In a statement Tuesday, officials noted the escalation: “The search for missing youth Esti has now been escalated to Priority 1. Bringing her home safely remains our top priority. We joined Esti’s family today as the search continues, and we are grateful to the Toronto Police and Inspector Peter Wallace for dedicating every available resource to this effort.”
Police and volunteers urge anyone with information to call 911 immediately or contact Shomrim Toronto at (647) 557-6735. Toronto Police can also be reached at 416-808-3200 .

Smotrich says ICC prosecutor has requested warrant for his arrest; Payback time: Orders demolition of West Bank hamlet
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced on Tuesday that the prosecutor’s office of the International Criminal Court in The Hague has requested an arrest warrant be issued against him.
“Yesterday, I was informed that the criminal prosecutor of the antisemitic court in The Hague submitted a request for a secret, international arrest warrant against me,” Smotrich said at a press conference he held to announce the development, and described the move as “a declaration of war.”
It was not immediately clear what charges the ICC prosecutor’s office might be seeking against the far-right minister, although a report in the Wall Street Journal last year indicated that Smotrich is being targeted by the court for the major role he has played in expanding settlements in the West Bank.
These actions are considered a violation of the Geneva Conventions by the International Court of Justice, and the ICC could therefore prosecute Smotrich for such violations as war crimes.
The Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Kathleen Kingsbury behind the fake Dog rape story in the New York Times!
Want to know who the senior editor at @nytimes was who pushed the atrocious and undocumented dog r@pe story?
Meet Kathleen Kingsbury, who leads the "opinion report" for the New York Times. Melissa Brodsky, prolific author of the outstanding Substack, "The Lioness Writes," did the sleuthing.
"When she [Kingsbury] assumed control of the opinion section in 2020, three of the most prominent pro-Israel voices on the staff were gone within months. Editorial page editor James Bennet was forced out. Opinion writer Bari Weiss resigned, writing in her letter that colleagues had called her a Nazi and a racist, and that the publisher will cave to the mob, the editor will get fired or reassigned, and you will be hung out to dry. Opinion staffer Adam Rubenstein was gone too. "
Charedim will pay a heavy price for toppling the government during war time
Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel strongly attacked the Charedi parties amid the conscription law crisis and the possibility of early elections.
"The Charedim are coming and trying to topple the government. Someone who is prepared to sell off the security of the state of Israel for funding, and someone who goes to Gantz and Eisenkot to threaten the Prime Minister during a war - what kind of right-wing is that?" Haskel wondered in an interview with Arutz Sheva-Israel National News.
Haskel added, "The right is first and foremost about security, supporting IDF soldiers. It is first and foremost about holding on to the Land of Israel."
She was later asked if she was summoned to a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or the leader of her faction, Minister Gideon Sa'ar, due to her opposition to the current conscription bill. Likud members were summoned to the Prime Minister."
She claimed that the proposed bill would "not lead to more haredi enlistment," and added that even without the law, there is an increase in haredi enlistees.
Haskel also presented a proposal to establish yeshivas on the borders to create a solution "that would both protect the yeshiva world and provide the IDF with the manpower it needs for security assignments." She further claimed that if the haredim would understand that they are not exempt from conscription, "The number of haredi soldiers would double."
She also addressed anti-conscription sentiments in the haredi sector:
"At the moment, what we hear in Charedi society is, 'We'll die and not enlist,' it's crazy." According to Haskel, "If they do not enlist, we will die. The IDF will not have the manpower to perform its security duties."
At the conclusion of the interview, Haskel was asked if she would change her position if she were blamed for toppling the right-wing government during the war. Haskel responded that "those plans should be presented to our Charedi brothers and they should take responsibility, otherwise, they will pay a heavy price in the next elections and they won't be in the next government."
