Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli (Likud) launched a scathing attack on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), calling him a “self-hating Jew” and referring to him as a “Palestinian” in response to Schumer’s praise for Zohran Mamdani, a far-left NYC mayoral candidate with a history of inflammatory anti-Israel rhetoric.
Posting on X, Chikli accused Schumer and other Jewish Democrats of enabling antisemitism cloaked in progressive ideology, writing: “It’s called a self-hating Jew… the new form of antisemitism denies the Jewish people’s right to self-determination.”
His remarks echoed language used by Donald Trump, who last year told rallygoers Schumer had “become a Palestinian” and a “proud member of Hamas.”
Schumer has drawn fire from Jewish leaders and Israeli officials for refusing to criticize Mamdani, despite Mamdani’s support for the slogan “globalize the Intifada” and his refusal to back legislation condemning the Holocaust or affirm Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.
The Ashkenazim in Jerusalem have established a new seminary for those with Sephardic backgrounds, and will enroll more than 450 girls who remain without a seminary, thus preventing the assimilation of Sephardic Ashkenazi in the girls' schools in Jerusalem. -
It should be noted that the Lithuanian school has not yet opened registration in order to prevent hundreds of Sephardic girls from assimilating with Ashkenazi Girls
Maran Rabbi Landau instructed to delay the registration until a solution would be found.
A new principal, Rabbi Mendelsohn, will open the new school in the same building, but with separate entrances, and in this way they will ensure that the Ashkenazi girls do not assimilate into Sephardic and vice versa, Chas Ve'sholom
A new report by the UK parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee on Thursday warned that the threat of Iran attacking individuals on UK soil has "significantly" spiked.
Since 2022, the report said, the "wide-ranging, persistent, and unpredictable threat" of Iranian attacks has risen. Iran's international spy agencies are "willing and able – often through third party agents – to attempt assassination within the UK, and kidnap from the UK," the report said. At least 15 attempts to abduct or murder Britons have been recorded.
The report said there have been 15 murder or kidnap attempts against British citizens or UK-based individuals since the beginning of 2022.

Donald Trump calls her the “Ice Maiden.” But in person, the very private White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is warm and hospitable — as long as you don’t cross her. She didn’t become the most powerful woman in the world without a determined glint in her eye that can silence the most spirited Cabinet minister.
Wiles, 68, has brought a sense of order and calm to Trump’s second presidency, which has given him the space to notch up wins at breakneck speed.
In a rare interview on our new podcast “Pod Force One” she explained how she does it.
“I gave a piece of advice to myself when I started this job,” she told us this week in her large sunny office in the West Wing, down the hall from the Oval Office.
“I am the chief of staff. I’m not the chief of Donald Trump.”
The doom-scrolling community is not happy.
From basement bedrooms across the US comes the muffled sound of huffing and puffing.
Reddit is ablaze with the anger of digital hysterics who haven’t seen sunlight in months.
Why? Because their most beloved conspiracy theory is coming apart at the seams.
The Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory — that all-purpose, fact-light morality tale about our decadent, venal elites — is falling apart.
What will the Epstein heads do now?
No sooner had the Department of Justice and the FBI poked a very large hole in the Epstein story than the internet was consumed by fury and moaning. These officials have concluded that Epstein did not in fact have a “client list” implicating politicians, businessmen and celebrities in a vast Caligulan regime of sordid sex parties.
And nor was he bumped off by some nefarious actor — Hillary Clinton, people say — while awaiting trial for sex trafficking at a correctional facility in New York.
No, he really did kill himself.
And just like that, the two pillars of this crazed fable have fallen down.
The dangerously unhinged Justice Jackson.
— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) July 9, 2025
Jackson’s public comments and dissents are toxic. She’s viciously attacking her colleagues and the institution of the Court. I’ve never seen a justice conduct him/herself like this. “Existential threat to the rule of law,” she says.…
We are a nation with a long memory and a longer legacy. Symbols matter. History matters. And so does truth. When Jews wrap themselves in the keffiyeh, they are not engaging in solidarity—they are erasing the scars of our people and honoring those who rejoiced in our murder. It is not conscience—it is cowardice disguised as compassion.
“You wear a keffiyeh. Why not a swastika too?”
Let us speak plainly: The keffiyeh is not a neutral garment. It is the banner of those who shed Jewish blood—from Haj Amin al-Husseini to Hamas. And worse, it was a British Jew who helped lift that banner high.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor’s refusal to testify before Congress has stirred outrage among conservatives. But beneath the frustration lies an uncomfortable truth: this man may have single-handedly spared the United States from an unprecedented national calamity. Whether he intended to or not, Dr. O’Connor saved the country from a leftist takeover—and conservatives should recognize the magnitude of that act.
Let’s be blunt: had President Biden’s deteriorating health been publicly acknowledged and led to his removal, the United States would have faced a full-fledged constitutional crisis—one with Kamala Harris at the helm. Not for a month, not for a caretaker period, but potentially for a full term leading into the next election.
President Kamala Harris would have meant a radical lurch to the far-left fringe of American politics. Her ideology is not just liberal—it’s progressive to the point of destabilization. Sympathetic to anti-Israel demonstrators and unwilling to draw a hard line against groups expressing open support for Hamas, Harris has repeatedly aligned herself with the activist wing of the Democratic Party. Her social justice posturing, race-obsessed rhetoric, and deference to the most extreme voices in the culture wars make her a uniquely dangerous figure on the national stage.
The U.S. State Department announced that it is sanctioning Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur on Palestinian territories, under an executive order that states those who engage “directly” with an effort by the International Criminal Court to arrest or probe a “protected person” without the consent of the person’s country are subject to having their property and assets blocked.
WARNING!!!!! EXPLICIT MATERIAL!!!
Rabbi Yitzchok Zilberstein has opened up about his recently published halachic ruling according to which it is improper to eat cholent during the week, and it should be reserved for Shabbat only.
Rabbi Zilberstein clarified on Wednesday that his ruling was not meant to be a blanket prohibition, "and certainly at a seudat mitzvah (a religious celebratory meal) where the dish is served, it is permitted to eat it."
Regarding yeshivas that serve cholent for dinner on Thursdays, the rabbi answered: "Certainly they should eat since yeshiva students must rely on the dean in every matter, and if the yeshiva management brings this dish for dinner during the week, you should certainly eat it."
Rabbi Zilberstein clarified that the original instruction was intended as an enhancement to the observance of the commandment to honor the Sabbath, but at yeshivas and family events, one may eat cholent on a weekday.
Cholent is a stew usually made of meat, potatoes, beans, and grains, invented to circumvent the prohibition of cooking on the Sabbath. While traditionally enjoyed on Shabbat mornings, in recent decades, it has become common among haredi, religious, and even secular Jews in Israel and abroad to eat the dish on Thursday nights as well, usually at casual eateries known as "cholentiot."
