Why would a popular Lakewood WhatsApp Group Encourage Chardeim in Israel to "protest" when 3 boys were already killed??


 

Note: I do not want to bash this popular site, as it is a benefit for Frum Jewish people, and serves a great purpose, but lately, one of their administrators who hates Israel, keeps making outrageous comments on news stories about the State of Israel. I don't know where this guy learned but I'll bet he was brainwashed with propaganda and now thinks that he has a license to spread this garbage on this WhatsApp group!

A fellow calling himself “Mr. B,” apparently an administrator of this Lakewood‑based WhatsApp group, has been getting bolder—and more absurd—with each outrageous comment he posts.

From the comfort of Lakewood, nearly 6,000 miles away from Eretz Yisrael, Mr. B feels perfectly entitled to spew venom at the only Jewish state in the world, home to over 7.5 million Jews.

Distance hasn’t stopped him from pouring out hostility toward a country he doesn’t live in and whose dangers he doesn’t share.

Mr. B is now openly encouraging protests in Israel—despite the fact that three teenagers were killed as a direct result of those very protests.

In the January 28 issue of Ami magazine, Attorney Dror Schussheim—the lawyer who successfully petitioned Israel’s Supreme Court to block autopsies on the two babies who died in a Yerushalayim daycare—stated clearly:

“Protests don’t change a thing.”

The Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Yoel echoed the same point, prohibiting his chassidim from attending further demonstrations because they “don’t accomplish anything” and are “dangerous.”

Mr. B, meanwhile, has no stake in any of this. He has no “dog in the race.” I wonder what he would say if, G‑d forbid, it were his child who was injured or killed. It’s easy to have a “B”ig mouth when you’re thousands of miles away, urging others to jump into the fire while your own family faces zero consequences.

I didn’t even see his post firsthand—my readers sent it to me, asking that I respond למען השם to his twisted remarks.

And what is his “proof” that “protests are the best way to get things done”?

He cites—of all people—the same Attorney General, Gali Baharav‑Miara, whose policies he otherwise despises. The irony would be comical if it weren’t so pathetic.




Recording of Israel's Attorney General: “There Is No Effective Protest Without Disrupting Public Order”*


Channel 12 News revealed a recording from a July 2023 government meeting. In the recording, Israel’s Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara,  appeared to justify disruptive actions during protests against the government’s proposed judicial reforms in 2023.🙈

In the recording, Baharav-Miara is heard saying that “there is no effective protest without disrupting public order,” a remark that has sparked criticism from political figures and public commentators.

Opponents accused the Attorney General of legitimizing disorder and crossing a professional line, while supporters argued that the comment reflects a broader discussion about the nature and impact of civil protest.

*Mr. B*- and that this is why the charedim protest, because everyone in Israel knows that this is one of the best ways, if not the best way to get things done around there...



 

Activist launches campaign to move into Singer Billie Eilish’s LA mansion after ‘stolen land’ Grammys rant

An Australian man launched a crowdfunding campaign to fly to the US and move into Billie Eilish’s $3 million Los Angeles mansion following her “no one is illegal on stolen land” rant at the Grammy Awards.

Drew Pavlou, a 24-year-old political activist and influencer, called out Eilish’s alleged virtue signaling in her anti-ICE remarks after she won Song of the Year at the 68th annual award show.

“I am flying to the USA next Friday to attempt to move into Billie Eilish’s beachside Malibu mansion,” Pavlou wrote on X on Monday, sharing a link to the now-defunct GoFundMe. “No human being is illegal on stolen land. Support my travel and filming costs here

Pavlou shared that the crowdfunding platform deleted his original fundraiser after it raised $3,000 towards his journey.

“GOFUNDME DELETED MY BILLIE EILISH FUNDRAISER THIS IS DISGUSTING AND UNFAIR,” Pavlou exclaimed. “I will look at alternative fundraising platforms.”

The campaign was deleted because the company could not “verify your connection and plan to transfer the donations to the person you’re raising money for,” according to an email shared by Pavlou.

He switched his tactics and started a new fundraiser on the GiveSendGo website, asking for roughly $2840 so he could fly to California and buy the “Birds of a Feather” singer’s $6 million Malibu home.

Elazar Vigdorovitz, a Chareidi faked a heart attack, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Dublin, Ireland — where he managed to escape from the airport

 



Elazar Vigdorovitz, an Israeli chareidi man suspected of serious fraud and scam offenses, has managed to escape law enforcement for the second time — most recently during his deportation from the United States to Israel.

According to a report by Avishai Grintzayg on i24NEWS, Vigdorovitz was deported from New York to Israel under escort by U.S. federal officers after being caught attempting to illegally enter the United States from Canada.

During the overnight flight, Vigdorovitz allegedly faked a heart attack, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Dublin, Ireland — where he managed to escape from the airport. Israeli police officers, who had been waiting for him at Ben Gurion Airport with an arrest warrant, were left empty-handed.

Chardeim Continue to Refuse to Have their Children Vaccinated ... Now the 14th unvaccinated Baby Dies In Jerusalem


 A one-year-old baby from Jerusalem who had no underlying conditions and was not vaccinated against measles died on Wednesday due to complications of the disease, Israel’s Health Ministry announced.

The baby was pronounced dead at the emergency room at Hadassah Har HaTzofim Hospital after being evacuated from his home early in the morning. He is the 14th fatality since the outbreak of measles began. Almost all of the victims were healthy babies and toddlers who had not been vaccinated against the disease.

Early Wednesday morning, reports said that United Hatzalah volunteers carried out resuscitation efforts on a one-year-old baby who lost consciousness at his home in the Shmuel HaNavi neighborhood in Jerusalem.

Hatzalah volunteers Pini Weiss and Mordechai Greifer said, “When we arrived, we were handed an approximately one-year-old baby who wasn’t breathing and had no pulse after, according to family members, he did not wake up from his sleep.”

“Together with MDA EMTs and paramedics, we immediately began advanced resuscitation, including chest compressions and ventilation. While resuscitation continued, he was evacuated in critical condition by an MDA intensive care unit ambulance to Hadassah Har HaTzofim Hospital in the city.”

“We were told that the baby did not wake up from his sleep after having contracted measles a few days earlier,” Yechiel Stern and Ariel Drai, United Hatzalah emergency medical responders, said. “United Hatzalah resilience teams operated at the scene due to the nature of the incident.”

United Hatzalah volunteers noted a concerning rise in the number of children in Chareidi neighborhoods nationwide who have reached life-threatening conditions due to measles, with some tragic cases resulting in death.

CHUTZPAH!!!! Supreme Court Orders Netanyahu: Explain Why You Haven’t Fired Ben Gvir


 In an unprecedented move, the Supreme Court issued a conditional order on Wednesday morning to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to explain why he hasn’t dismissed National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from his position.

The order was issued in response to four petitions from left-wing organizations challenging Ben Gvir’s continued tenure, which claim that he improperly interfered with police operations, including in appointment procedures and ongoing investigations.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara supported the petitioners’ request for the issuance of a conditional order.

In an unusual move, the Supreme Court also decided to expand the panel hearing the petitions seeking Ben Gvir’s removal, which will now include nine justices — almost the full bench of the current Supreme Court.

Minister Ben Gvir responded to the Supreme Court’s decision, saying, “You have no authority. There will be no coup.”

Last Thursday, Ben Gvir submitted a request to the court, in which he demanded that it refrain from issuing a conditional order without first holding a hearing, arguing that the petitions lack any legal basis and that the court has no authority to compel a prime minister to dismiss a serving minister, especially in the absence of an indictment or a deficiency in the minister’s eligibility for the office.

He further argued that ordering the dismissal of a serving minister would set a dangerous and exceptional precedent, one that does not exist in recognized democracies, and that such a move would severely harm representative democracy and the sovereignty of the electorate.

The request submitted on Ben-Gvir’s behalf by his attorney, David Peter, emphasized that a comprehensive and detailed preliminary response had been provided on behalf of the minister, addressing every claim and even exposing serious misrepresentations by the Attorney General’s Office.

“Given the absence of any legal, factual, or jurisdictional basis, the court is asked to dismiss the petitions outright and refrain from considering the issuance of a conditional order,” the request stated. “Any attempt to issue such an order without a hearing would amount to an unprecedented legal ambush.”

4 Chasidic Yeshiva Students did a Prank making a ‘Grave Of Matisyahu’ and "Shotim" Came to Daven


  Deep in the Ben Shemen pine forest near the towns of Modiin and Modiin Illit lies an ancient structure with a dome. The structure was named in Arabic Hirbet Al-Arbawi and in Hebrew Hurvat Ha’Gardi, named for one of the Hasmonean sons, Yochanan Ha’Gardi. The imposing structure and its location led scholars to wonder whether it had any connection to the Maccabees.


About 25 years ago, four yeshiva students from the Tshibin yeshiva and other chasidic yeshivos visited the structure and decided as a practical joke to set up a matzevah (headstone) and write that this is the tomb of Matityahu ben Yochanan Kohen Gadol. The four headed to Har Hamenuchos, purchased a headstone and engraved the words: Tomb of Matisyahu ben Yochanan. They added cement and a logo of the Aguda Le’Ma’an Kivrei Tzadikim (Association for preserving tombs of the righteous), a fictitious organization, and left the site.

Little did they know that people would begin to take their actions seriously. Numerous rabbis and public figures came to pray at the site, candles were lit, pictures were placed and especially on Chanukah every year, streams of people come to dance and pray at what they believe to be the tomb of the father of the Maccabees. People even began to believe that they had experienced miraculous salvations there.

Recently Mishpacha magazine decided to burst the balloon, revealing that the tomb is a fictitious creation of four young boys and has no credibility as the tomb of Matisyahu. One of the original Bochurim, Rav Shmuel Frankel, who is now in his 40s, said that “We wanted to make a tomb for tourists to com. Had we known how this would develop, its obvious we wouldn’t have done it.”

Columbia to Welcome Back Student Who Endorsed Murder of Jews


 After twice denying the reapplication of Khymani James, a former Columbia student who was suspended following his public statements endorsing the murder of Zionists, Columbia University signaled that he will be eligible for acceptance next fall if he meets certain conditions. 

This decision has raised concerns among Jewish advocacy groups that the university is reverting to its dismissive attitude toward antisemitism on campus.

During the 2023-2024 school year, when pro-Hamas student protests roiled the campus, the anti-Zionist protest leader posted video of his comments.

“These are all the same people,” he taped himself saying. “The existence of them and the projects they have built, i.e. Israel, it’s all antithetical to peace. It’s all antithetical to peace. And so, yes, I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die.”

“Zionists don’t deserve to live,” he added, saying that we should “be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”

“I don’t fight to injure or for there to be a winner or a loser,” he concluded ominously. “I fight to kill.”

What kind of policy is this insistence on diplomacy with the “savage mullah"? What benefit does it serve?


 What benefit is there in dialogue, negotiation, and diplomacy with a Savage Shi‘a Mullah? For what purpose? So that the Tehran regime might abandon its inherently malignant, aggressive, and destructive nature, cease its crisis-manufacturing behavior, or suddenly change its essence?

Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan zt”l on his Yartzeit 14 Shevat 5743

by Rabbi Yair Hoffman

To this day, people marvel at his Chumash – a product of a mere nine months of researching and writing – an endeavor that would take others ten years or more to create – and one that would not match the quality of it. In the annals of modern Torah scholarship, few figures have left as indelible a mark in such a brief time as Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan zt”l. Described by those who knew him as “a meteor, a dazzling light that illuminated the darkened skies of post-Holocaust Torah learning, but burned out far too soon,” Rabbi Kaplan’s life was a testament to the transformative power of Torah and the boundless potential of the human spirit. In his mere forty-eight years, he produced approximately fifty books, inspired countless souls to return to their heritage, and opened doorways to realms of Jewish thought that had remained inaccessible to English readers for centuries.

UN Cesspool Faces ‘Imminent Financial Collapse’


 The United Nations chief is warning that the world body faces “imminent financial collapse” unless its financial rules are overhauled or all 193 member nations pay their dues — a message likely directed at the United States and the billions it owes.


Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a letter to all U.N. member nations obtained Friday by The Associated Press that cash for its regular operating budget could run out by July, which could dramatically affect its operations.

Lakewood-based WhatsApp group spreads unfiltered Lies about Eretz Yisrael!

 


DIN: The following is a post of a popular Lakewood-based WhatsApp group!
This post is not about the story itself which we posted as well, my beef is with the comment the poster made to appease his naive yeshivishe sheep who live in Chutz Le'aaretz in warm comfortable homes! 
I posted his sick comment in red!

 IDF Chief of Staff Approves Final Orders for Haredi Integration into the Army*

The IDF Chief of Staff has officially approved new General Staff directives aimed at integrating Haredi soldiers into the Israeli military.

Under the new regulations, special frameworks will be created to accommodate religious standards in certain service tracks. Among the measures: a complete ban on women entering designated bases, restrictions on any exposure of soldiers to women, the appointment of only observant commanders, and mandatory Torah study and daily prayer as part of the service routine.

In addition, an external rabbinical committee will be established to supervise and ensure proper Enforcing of the directives within the IDF.

*Mr. B -*  At some point, the IDF has to admit the truth. Maybe the army already knows this, and this is about politics and not results.

These changes won’t make a difference; mainstream chareidim aren’t enlisting. For many frum Jews, IDF service clashes with a Torah-centered life of full-time learning and values. No accommodations can change that core conflict.

The army was described by Ben Gurion as a secular melting pot (_koreh hituch chiloni_), and that’s without even getting into the ג' שבועות, כיבוש הארץ  התגרות באומות.

DIN: #1

Let’s begin by addressing his argument about the ג' שבועות—an argument so weak that even Satmar abandoned it.

No Jew ever witnessed these “ג' שבועות” and no one can identify when or where they supposedly occurred.

This aggadatah appears in Kesubos 110a, yet Rashi and Tosafos offer no commentary on it. None of the major commentaries printed at the back of the tractate—Rosh, Ran, Maharsha, Rif etc., mention it. It is entirely absent from the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah, and it receives no mention whatsoever in the Shulchan Aruch or its nosei keilim.

I have already cited Emailim BaTorah, which notes that

"the Zohar in Parshas Vayechi explains that “Bnos Yerushalayim” refers to the neshamah. The Avnei Nezer therefore concludes that since the oaths were made with the soul and not with the physical human being, they do not apply to us in any halachic sense.

Indeed, the overwhelming majority of Gedolim—Agudas Yisroel, Shas, Degel, and most of the leading Torah authorities—did not consider the ג' שבועות to have halachic force. Even those who opposed the establishment of the State did not base their position on these oaths."

#2

Next, he invokes כיבוש הארץ & התגרות באומות.

This claim keeps resurfacing, regurgitated by commentators living abroad in comfort and safety, while criticizing Israel.

They live far from danger yet speak harshly about the State of Israel—whose soldiers risk their lives daily to protect millions of Jews in the only Jewish country on earth, surrounded by hostile enemies—and then accuse Israel of “provoking the nations.”

Jewish husbands leave their families for months, placing themselves in danger and leaving their wives and children as living widows and living orphans in emotional and financial strain, all to defend Jewish lives. Yet this commentator dismisses and mocks their sacrifice as “התגרות באומות

The audacity is astonishing. What exactly do they offer as an alternative—disband the army? Avoid defending ourselves so as not to “antagonize” others?

Insanity!

As for כיבוש הארץ: The Ramban explicitly writes that settling the Land of Israel and securing it are mitzvos aseh d’Oraisa בזמן הזה.

Every major war Israel has fought was initiated by surrounding hostile nations that swore to destroy and eliminate her. Suggesting that Israel should have simply stood by passively defies both logic and halachah.

Finally, he quotes a 75-year-old description by Ben-Gurion in reference to the IDF that the IDF is a “secular melting pot.”

And what of it? So?

Since when does a historical comment override Torah obligations such as

?לא תעמוד על דם רעך

or

?ואהבת לרעך כמוך

The army has made significant efforts to accommodate Chareidim, yet he claims that mainstream Chareidim should not enlist.

Why should others bear the burden entirely? Why should Chilonim die for you?

Moshe Rabbeinu has a message to this fool

?האחיכם יבוא למלחמה ואתם תשבו פה

My message to this Lakewood-based WhatsApp administrator is simple: We do not need your commentary, and we do not need your interference. Please stay out of our affairs.

New York Times had a Gaza Doctor Write 2 Op-Eds ..Turns Out He is a Hamas colonel




 A Gaza doctor who slammed Israel in a pair of New York Times op-eds is a colonel with terror group Hamas, according to an Israeli watchdog group and the Israeli Defense Forces.

Hussam Abu Safyia was photographed wearing a Hamas camo military uniform while at a gathering of Hamas elites to celebrate the completion of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in 2016, according to the Jerusalem-based watchdog NGO Monitor.

Safyia’s photo appeared on the Gaza Medical Services‘ Facebook page — a group overseen by the Hamas-run health ministry.

The ceremony was attended by ranking members of the brutal terror group, including Gen. Abu Obaida Al-Jarrah, Director of Military Medical Services Saeed Saoudi and National Security Forces commander Col. Naeem Al-Ghoul, according to the post.

Following Hamas’ massacre of over 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, which led to the war in Gaza, Safyia penned two screeds in the Times bashing Israel on Oct. 29, 2023, and Dec. 2, 2024.

“We are suffering and paying the price of the genocide that is happening to our people here in the northern Gaza Strip,” Safyia wrote in one op-ed.

Critics decried media giving the alleged Hamas member any ink.

“Those who platformed Abu Safyia must do some serious soul-searching, and figure out how they ended up promoting the propaganda of a literal Hamas terrorist,” NGO Monitor senior researcher Vincent Chebat said.

The Times referred to the colonel as a “pediatrician and the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza” in each op-ed.

Neither Safyia nor the Times disclosed his alleged affiliation with the terror group, even though Palestinian media refers to him by his military rank. He is also referred to as a colonel in a 2020 Facebook post on the Gaza Strip Medical Services page.

An IDF spokesman said Safyia was a ranking member of Hamas, and that the hospital was teeming with hundreds of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists.

Neither NGO Monitor nor the IDF accused Safyia of participating in any specific terrorist acts.

The New York Times did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. The Post was unable to reach Safyia.

The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed Safyia was apprehended during the war on suspicion of “involvement in terrorist activities.” He was not charged and was released by the IDF, but the Israeli Prison Services agency did not respond to a request for comment on his current whereabouts.
