Part 2 .......The Satmar Rebbe and the Destruction of Hungarian Jewry

 

The Satmar Rebbe, Yoel Teitelbaum, far right, when he arrives in Switzerland on the Kasztner transport from Bergen-Belsen.

This is the second of a two-part investigation into the life of the Satmar Rebbe. Read part one here.

During his stay in the Cluj ghetto, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum hid rather than position himself as a leader. On the rescue train, he avoided the other passengers, failed to encourage or to comfort them, and did not share the precious commodities provided by his followers with them. 

In Bergen-Belsen, too, despite the preferential treatment accorded him in the camp, he refrained from assuming a leadership role, even among the observant inmates. 

After his release, Rabbi Yoel elected to run a rescue campaign from the safety of Switzerland. His efforts to rescue Jewish children raised by gentiles were restricted to fundraising, and even in that task he failed abysmally. 

Once again, his conduct stands in stark contrast to that of other rabbis, who returned to their hometowns to lead their surviving flocks or worked relentlessly in the DP camps. All the sources describing the rescue activities of the Haredi community during the Holocaust, including archival sources, indicate that compared to other rabbis who survived the Holocaust, Rabbi Yoel’s contribution was negligible in both scope and significance.

Satmarer Chusid Explains why he supports Mamzarani "Because he makes sure we are safe here"

 As I have written time and again, Satmar doesn't believe that they are part of the rest of Klall Yisrael! They believe 100% that they are not part of the rest of the Jews. 

They always say that The Zionist don't have G-d in their lives, but neither does Satmar, listen to the shvantz in the video "who is providing safety?" Mamzarani! Nothing to do with the RBS"O! 

Satmar thinks that Mamzarani understands the differences between ideologies and knows that Satmar is different than the rest of the Jews, since they also hate Israel, but what they don't realize is that Goyim do not distinguish between Jews and they want them dead as well!

The irony is that they hate Zionists that live in Israel, yet the Kabbalist R' Avraham Azulai the grandfather of the Chida, states in his Sefer Chesed LeAvraham (VaYikra 18:25) that "anyone who lives in Eretz Yisrael is considered a tzaddik, even if it does not seem that way!" 

In the video, that Satmar Shvantz denigrates Israel, the Ben Ish Chai comments on the gemarra in Kesubois 112" no student should be moved to say, about a place where they stood in Israel, "not good" and thereby speak ill of a piece of the earth of Eretz Yisrael" How much so  to speak ill of people that actually live there!

Bnei-Brak recklessness Continues .... Out of 6,500 balconies inspected so far, 1,200 Hundred May Have to be demolished!

 Israeli land enforcement authorities conducted a large-scale inspection of residential balconies in the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak amid concerns over possible structural dangers. 

Officials said roughly 6,500 balconies were surveyed across the city. 

About 2,500 balconies in 1,250 buildings were flagged in the initial stage as potentially hazardous. 

Authorities said enforcement actions could follow, including possible demolition orders for balconies found to be unsafe or illegally built.

After Massive Uproar Amshiniov Tries to Pacify Yeshivish World ..But here is the conversation

 Before even getting to see the actual back and forth with the Amshinover Rebbe's, let’s be honest about what just happened:

The Amshinov community experienced the classic chareidi backlash that erupts whenever anyone — even a revered tzaddik — deviates from the “accepted” practice, even when that practice may be deeply flawed.

Amshinov put out a "retraction" to “feed the lion,” hoping that by appeasing the extremists, the extremists would leave them alone. But that’s not how this dynamic works. Appeasement never satisfies; it only emboldens. Once you show fear, the lion doesn’t walk away — it circles back for more.

And now Amshinov is discovering this the hard way. Their retraction won’t protect them. The same forces that turned on others in the past will turn on them as well. They are now in the crosshairs, just as happened to Rabbi Leiber of Bnei Brak — a painful reminder of what happens when you try to placate those who thrive on intimidation.

Appeasement has never worked in our history. It doesn’t work now either.

In the end, Amshinov will learn the same lesson everyone else has learned the hard way: once you start feeding the lion, you don’t tame it — you just teach it where to find its next meal.

This is the conversation between the Amshinover Rebbe and his son, verbatim, regarding the issue of ascending the Har Habayis during the current period.

During the conversation, the Rebbe was asked whether it is forbidden today to ascend the Temple Mount, and he replied that there are areas deep in the territory of the mount that are forbidden to enter. However, certain areas, close to the entrance, are permissible after immersing in a ritual bath.

"Can someone who immerses in a regular mikveh (ritual bath) enter the Temple Mount?" his son asked. 

The Rebbe answered:

 "Yes, but again, only the beginning of the Temple Mount." The son pressed further: "Where is the beginning - where today’s Temple Mount is?" The Rebbe replied: "Not deep inside. Deeper inside is already the cheil (the perimeter outside the outer courtyard of the Temple)."

When asked whether the Western Wall is connected to the Temple, the Rebbe answered that "the Western Wall is connected to the wall of the Temple Mount," as brought in Kaftor Vaferach, chapter 6.

 To the question of whether "behind the wall of the Kotel is already the Temple Mount," the Rebbe said, "Apparently, yes. But the Temple Mount is not the Temple courtyard. The Temple Mount is the Camp of the Levites," the Rebbe explained. 

Therefore, it is permitted to enter the area at the beginning of the Temple Mount after proper immersion for purification according to Jewish law.

The conversation also dealt with the issue of waving the Two Loaves on the Temple Mount, as they said was done on the Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) holiday.

 "Seemingly, there is a mitzvah (Torah commandment)," the Rebbe replied. However, he noted that "it must be baked inside," adding, "I do not understand how they take it out" after the waving. Seemingly, he said, "there is a problem that it becomes invalid by being taken out." The Rebbe also raised additional questions such as priestly lineage, various colors mentioned on the subject, and the location of the altar.

The Rebbe’s son asked whether "this is like the Passover sacrifice," and his father responded, "The Passover sacrifice is required of each and every individual; the Two Loaves are a communal meal-offering." He also stressed that "for the Passover sacrifice, an altar is needed."

"Are they carrying an altar with them too?" he asked with a smile, referring to Temple service activists who entered the Mount, 13 of whom were arrested after waving the Two Loaves.

A woman in hijab passionately challenges Rabbi Meir Kahane: “How can you have no compassion for the Arab people?” invoking Hitler and Palestinian suffering.

Kahane’s calm, piercing response cuts through:

“You had an opportunity for your own state in 1948. The UN proposed partition plan which would have created a Palestine and an Israel. You went to war. You killed 6,000 of our people. ’56, another war. ’67, another war. ’73, another war. I don’t trust you. I don’t believe you. When I’m attacked and I win and you lose, and you’re the one that started it, learn one thing… you take the consequences of your actions.”

Raw, unfiltered truth about repeated rejection of peace and the cost of starting wars.

Israeli Shekel getting stronger and stronger creating financial pressure for Americans in Israel

 A strengthening Israeli shekel is creating growing financial pressure for Americans living in Israel and for nonprofits that rely heavily on donations from the United States, according to a report by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

The shekel has climbed to near-record highs against the U.S. dollar, trading at less than three shekels to the dollar, its strongest level in decades.

 While the stronger currency has been viewed by some as a sign of resilience in Israel’s economy during wartime, many Americans in Israel say it has sharply increased their cost of living.

Weitzman also helped raise donations from Charedi communities for IDF soldiers. He has brought 19 Torah scrolls into combat zones, saying they help unite religious, secular, and traditional soldiers under “one people, one heart.”

Germany caught funding Hamas-linked network for years

 

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel 

A bombshell confidential audit revealed that German governments under former chancellor Angela Merkel funded an Islamic charity tied to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood for years, despite warnings, Israeli sanctions, and serious security concerns.

According to the explosive report, Germany’s Foreign Office continued to funnel taxpayer money into Islamic Relief while allegedly failing to track where the funds ultimately ended up. Auditors accused officials of operating “blindly,” even as Israel viewed the organization as part of Hamas’s financial network.

One shocking revelation claimed that €240,000 in cash was allegedly flown from Germany to Turkey inside suitcases, fueling fears that European money may have flowed through extremist-linked channels unchecked.

Critics called the scandal a staggering failure by Berlin and a dangerous example of Europe’s repeated blindness toward Islamist networks operating under the cover of humanitarian aid.t networks operating under the cover of humanitarian aid.

Qatar secretly funding Iran, saving it from economic collapse

 

Doha reportedly providing Tehran a financial lifeline, despite Iranian attacks on Qatar.

By World Israel News Staff

Qatar is funneling money to the Iranian regime, according to a report published on Monday by Israel Hayom, providing Tehran with a much-needed financial lifeline.

Doha has become a key venue in the US-Iran talks as Tehran presses for access to billions of dollars in frozen assets and Washington seeks guarantees on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program.

However, Israel Hayom reported that Qatar’s role has gone beyond mediation, citing two Gulf diplomatic sources and a Western intelligence official who said Doha has provided financial assistance to Iran in recent weeks as the US naval blockade has intensified pressure on Tehran’s finances.

The report said Iran has struggled to pay public-sector salaries, fund imports and sustain the coffers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The report came as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati traveled to Doha for talks that officials and regional reports said focused on the Strait of Hormuz, highly enriched uranium and frozen Iranian assets.

A source cited by Daily Sabah said Hemmati’s inclusion in the delegation was tied to “the issue of frozen funds, which is addressed in the MoU as part of an eventual final deal.”

  Iran feels squeeze as blockade, failed talks take toll

Iranian state-linked Fars News Agency reported that Hemmati traveled to Qatar “in line with efforts to pursue the unfreezing of Iran’s assets” and as part of the negotiations’ economic commission, IranWire reported.

The central bank chief was expected to discuss blocked Iranian funds and other financial issues with Qatari officials in Doha.

At the center of the dispute is Iran’s demand for access to frozen money held in Qatar.

Tehran is seeking the release of funds, including $12 billion in Qatar, immediately upon the signing of a memorandum of understanding, Iran International recently reported.

The report said the US is prepared to move on the funds only after the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an Iranian commitment on the nuclear issue.

Israel Hayom said Qatar’s contacts with Iran expanded after the ceasefire more than a month ago, with Doha seeking to avoid renewed Iranian attacks on its territory.

The report said Qatar had remained protected during post-ceasefire incidents in which the UAE and Saudi Arabia were attacked, and that some Iranian payments could be disguised as fees connected to tankers passing through Hormuz.

Trump's Peace Plan with Iran is Delusionally Dangerous

 

by Scott Kahn

The news is constantly changing, so perhaps by the time you read this, the ceasefire deal will have been signed, or tabled altogether, or some other option we have not even considered. Nevertheless, these are my thoughts as of 4 PM Israel time on May 26, 2026:

President Donald Trump is touting his latest attempt at officially ending the United States and Israel’s war against Iran. While the war could have concluded in many different ways, and may yet continue given Iran’s insistence on negotiating as if it is the absolute victor, the ceasefire Trump is apparently choosing is among the least welcome to Israelis of all political stripes.

Let’s briefly examine some of the reasons that this is true.

Israel is working on a plan to replace Jordan’s custodianship over the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Har Habayis

 The Trump administration and Israel are working on a plan to replace Jordan’s custodianship over the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem with a new arrangement that would expand Jewish prayer rights at the site, according to a report published on Monday.

The Middle East Eye, citing unnamed US, Jordanian, Palestinian, Western and Gulf Arab sources, reported that the proposal would end the authority of the Jordanian-backed Islamic Waqf and create a new body tied to Israel to administer the compound.

After publication, the outlet said a US official called the allegation that Washington was actively working to strip Jordan of its custodianship “totally false.”

The report said the plan was being promoted by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.

According to the report, the proposed arrangement would recast the compound as a “multi-faith center,” allow large-group Jewish prayer and give Israel a role in appointing Muslim religious officials and approving Friday sermon content.

No such proposal has been publicly announced by the White House, Israel or Jordan.

A Jordanian government official told Middle East Eye that Amman’s position on Jerusalem and its holy sites “remains firm,” and said Jordan was coordinating with Palestinian, Arab and international partners to prevent changes to the historical and legal status quo.

The official said Jordan’s custodianship is recognized under treaties and agreements, including the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty.

Article 9 of the Israel-Jordan peace treaty says Israel respects Jordan’s “special role” in Muslim holy shrines in Jerusalem and will give high priority to Jordan’s historic role in permanent-status negotiations.

Under the longstanding status quo, the Jordanian Waqf administers the Temple Mount’s internal religious affairs, while Israel controls access and external security.

Jews and other non-Muslims are allowed to visit during set hours but are not permitted to pray there.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said Israel’s official policy is to preserve that arrangement.

After National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the compound in August 2025 and said he had prayed there, Netanyahu’s office said Israel’s policy of maintaining the status quo “has not changed and will not change.”

The issue has remained a recurring source of friction between Israel and Jordan. Jordan’s King Abdullah warned in a 2024 call with then-President Joe Biden against “unilateral Israeli measures” that he said threatened the historical and legal status quo of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, according to the Jordanian royal court.

Middle East Eye reported that Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates had been briefed on the alleged US proposal, while Saudi Arabia opposed it.

The outlet said the fate of Jerusalem’s Christian holy sites was unclear under the reported plan. Jordan’s Hashemite monarchy also claims custodial responsibilities over major Christian sites in Jerusalem, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

US launches strikes on mine-laying boats in southern Iran

 

The US military launched “self-defense strikes” against Iranian boats that were reportedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz Monday, according to Central Command.

CENTCOM spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said US military “eliminated” two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boats that were seen setting mines in the strait, and also took out a surface-to-air missile site in Bandar Abbas, according to Fox News. 

The missile site based at Iran’s primary naval station was reportedly targeting US warplanes, Hawkins said. He insisted that the “self-defense strikes” were conducted “to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces.”

“U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire,” Hawkins said in a statement obtained by the outlet.

The US strikes — and mine-laying efforts by the IRGC — are both violations of a tenuous cease-fire that appears on the cusp of being extended after a framework to end the Iran war surfaced following whirlwind negotiations over the weekend.

The tentative deal between Washington and Tehran, which was brokered by Pakistan, would reopen the strait without tolls, end the fighting for 60 days and begin a short window to negotiate an end to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. 

Tehran would also clear the mines it had deployed at the strait’s checkpoint and allow ships to pass freely, according to parameters of the agreement, according to Axios.

In return, the US would lift its blockade on Iranian ports and waive some sanctions against the Iranian regime – allowing Tehran to sell oil again.

Several other explosions were reported close to Sirik and Jask, two coastal cities along the strait and Gulf of Oman, respectively, earlier Monday.
