Leading Gedoilim urge: Reconquer Gaza

 

Senior Religious Zionist Gedoilim sent a letter to the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers in light of the ongoing war in the south.

In their letter, they emphasized that victory in the war against Hamas is not limited to harming terrorist capabilities and freeing the hostages held by Gaza terror groups. Instead, they stressed, victory must be substantive and long-term — complete occupation of Gaza, promoting the enemy's emigration, and renewing Jewish settlement in every part of Gaza.

According to them, the Gaza Strip is an inseparable part of the Land of Israel, with an ancient Jewish history, and relinquishing it would be a "moral, security, and national catastrophe." The rabbis noted that "only a full return to it will restore spirit and justice to the Jewish people."

The letter stressed that students and soldiers have approached the rabbis, asking them to act to push decision-makers to ensure that the fighting leads to a clear goal, and not to a situation where "we return again and again to capture lands we’ve already captured just to give them back to the enemy."

They added, "So long as Hamas or any hostile force remains on our borders, Israel has no real deterrence."

The Gedoilim called for a change in the political outlook towards Gaza, to begin settling the northern perimeter area, and to instruct the IDF to fully conquer all of Gaza. They concluded their appeal with a call to the Prime Minister and Cabinet to "state a clear truth: Victory in this war will only be achieved when the Jewish people return to Gaza, not as visitors but as owners, with security and faith."

Among the Gedoilim who signed: 

Rabbi Dov Lior, Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Rabbi Oury Cherki, Rabbi David Hai Cohen, Rabbi Noam Waldman, Rabbi Menachem Borenstein, Rabbi Elishama Cohen, Rabbi Dovid Fendel, Rabbi David Turgeman, Rabbi Abraham Yitzhak Schwartz, Rabbi Hagay Lundin, Rabbi Dror Twil, Rabbi Ariel Bareli, Rabbi David Dudkewitz, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, Rabbi Dror Aryeh, and Rabbi Uziyahu Sharbaf.

More and More Chareidim Ignoring the Rabbis and Enlisting

 The IDF has created a second Israeli Air Force technicians unit for Haredi men at Ramat David Airbase's 109th Squadron, allowing them to serve while maintaining their religious lifestyle. 

The soldiers, now certified "level A" F-16 technicians, follow last year's establishment of the first such unit at the base's 105th Squadron, with both responsible for keeping the jets mission-ready.

Antisemitism is being normalized in America as free speech

 

ByDR. OMAR MOHAMMED  I’ve seen what hate does to a society with my own eyes in Mosul, Iraq, my hometown.

When ISIS took over, I began secretly documenting their atrocities under the name Mosul Eye. I watched as my neighbors became enemies, as public spaces turned into execution grounds, and as fear seeped into every aspect of life.

Extremism didn’t arrive with guns and black flags. It first crept in as whispers in sermons, then as slogans, and eventually as checkpoints, arrests, and executions. By the time the world called it what it was—terrorism—it was too late.

But that’s how hate works. It doesn’t begin with violence; it starts with the normalization of dangerous ideas—ideas categorized by many as “opinions.” And we’re seeing that same pattern now in the United States.

But what happens when that “opinion” denies the humanity of an entire people? When it rewrites their history, questions their identity, or suggests they don’t have a right to exist? What happens when that opinion becomes a slogan, then a movement, and then a firebomb thrown at a synagogue?

In May, two Israeli diplomats were shot outside Washington, DC’s Capital Jewish Museum. Their attacker claimed he acted in solidarity with Gaza. A few weeks later, a Holocaust survivor sustained fatal injuries during a terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, when a man with Molotov cocktails attacked a peaceful march for Israeli hostages. In both cases, the suspects didn’t see themselves as extremists. They thought they were standing for something righteous.

And that’s the danger. Because the line between opinion and extremism is thinner than people want to admit. Antisemitism adapts; it speaks the language of justice, of culture, of protest. And when no one challenges it, it becomes accepted, and then eventually deadly.

Gerer Chassidim Take Time Off from Beating the Crap Out of Other To Protest Outside Military Prison Over Yeshiva Student Arrests

 On Motzoei Shabbos, hundreds of chassidim from Ger took time off from their own bloody civil-war and gathered outside the gates of Military Prison 10 in Beit Lid to protest the arrest of yeshiva students by the army. The demonstration was part of the ongoing wave of outrage over what organizers called the unjust detention of bnei Torah.

Journalist Daniel Grobais of Galei Tzahal reported that a contingent from the Peleg Yerushalmi also arrived at the scene. This group, which has been demonstrating against the draft for over a decade, attempted to persuade the chassidic protesters to try to break into the prison, but the area was heavily guarded with strong security measures in place.

Among those present were  avreichim from Beitar Illit,a city which is in second place in Israel of having the most poverty and had received direct instructions from the Rebbe to go and demonstrate in solidarity with the young men imprisoned in the military facility.

The Rebbe of Shevet HaLevi traveled from Bnei Brak to the protest, where he led tefillos and delivered words of encouragement on behalf of the detainees and in opposition to the draft decree.

Protesters, joined by members of the Peleg Yerushalmi, chanted together, “Ha’achim Yitzchakov, kulanu itchem” (“Brothers Yitzchakov, we are all with you”). The gathering also saw spirited singing and dancing to the chants “B’shilton hakofrim ein anachnu ma’aminim” (“We do not believe in the rule of the heretics”) and “Utzu eitza v’sufar.

Organizers vowed that this was only the beginning of a larger protest movement that will galvanize the entire chareidi public, declaring that they will not allow yeshiva students to be imprisoned for the “crime” of learning Torah.

In Coverage of the Har Habayis, Media Outlets Echo the Propaganda of Hamas

By Rinat Harash

 On Sunday, August 3, major media outlets amplified a distorted Palestinian narrative about Jerusalem’s Temple Mount — Judaism’s holiest site — in a way that did more than just misinform. It helped legitimize the very rhetoric used by Hamas to justify its October 7, 2023 massacre.

From factual errors to sensationalism, the coverage of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s brief visit to the Al-Aqsa compound on Tisha B’Av — the Jewish day of mourning for the destruction of the ancient Temples — was painted as a dangerous provocation, a spark threatening to ignite further regional instability.

This is more than bad reporting. It’s complicity in a lie that kills.

While Jewish prayer at the site — the third holiest for Muslims — is forbidden, any outlet that paints such a non-violent act as dangerous automatically adopts the point of view of the real extremists, forgetting that such coverage fuels terrorist propaganda.

Compound Vs. Mosque

Outlets like The Guardian and The Times of London suggested Ben-Gvir had literally entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque and prayed inside.

He didn’t.\

Machnovka Belz Rebbe Gives Chizik To Lev Tahor Child Abuser

DIN: I am very disappointed in this rebbe! Did he visit the victims? 

I think this act of the rebbe is sick and depraved! 

In an unannounced visit to Ayalon Prison, the Rebbe of Machnovka Belz met with Eliezer Rompler, the head of the radical and controversial Lev Tahor sect, who was extradited to Israel on charges of severe child abuse.

Rompler had fled Israel after a 2020 indictment alleging serious abuse of minors. He was apprehended in El Salvador following an attempted escape from Guatemala, after Israel issued a red notice via Interpol.

The Rebbe was accompanied by his eldest son, Rav Berel Rokeach.

Sources noted that the Rebbe has a personal connection to the Rompler family — one of Rompler’s sons previously served as an aide to the Rebbe — which, they explained, was a key factor in the decision to make the visit.

The visit has sparked mixed reactions. Some have voiced criticism over maintaining ties with an individual facing such grave criminal charges.

 

New Square is the poorest town in New York State!

 

Skverer Terrorists Harass Neighbor

We’ve just completed the Three Weeks, a period that isn’t just about reflection and growth, but a direct response to the kind of behavior we’re witnessing right now: sinas chinam, division, and baseless hostility. New Square has yet to offer any explanation for how such actions continue—and their silence says more than any statement could. This is the time for real teshuva, not delay tactics or superficial outreach. Without serious and visible change, any response will be
understood for what it is and we won’t back down or be fooled.

The following is an unfortunately true story as related by a prestigious community member living “within the mile.” It started with something small. A car registration.

“Like many of you, I slipped my new registration sticker into my jacket pocket after it came in the mail. I figured I’d get to it later. But somewhere along the way, it vanished. I remembered davening Maariv the night before in New Square. That wasn’t typical for me – most families who live “within the mile” avoid davening there, unless absolutely necessary. Too many uncomfortable encounters. Too many unspoken messages that we are simply not welcome. But it was late, and the nearest other Minyan would have meant a 10-minute drive I didn’t have the energy for. So I davened there. The next morning, I retraced my steps to the Shul, hoping maybe the registration had fallen out and someone picked it up.”

“At first, I found nothing. But eventually, while the cleaning crew was getting things ready for Shabbos, I located someone who seemed in charge. He told me, yes, someone had found it. I asked how I could get it back and he gave me the name of the person who supposedly had it, but no number. I gave him mine to pass along, and I waited. No one ever called. A day or two later, I went back again. Still hopeful. Still trusting, perhaps foolishly, that a fellow Yid would simply want to do Hashavas Aveidah, despite my address being clearly displayed on the paperwork. But before I even had a chance to ask around, someone barked at me: “Get out.” And then, the man I had been directed to found me and said coldly: “I ripped it up. And never come here again.”

As I turned to leave, a crowd gathered. Not five or ten. Over fifty people. Surrounding me. Telling me I wasn’t welcome. That I couldn’t Daven there. That I should leave and never come back. It was humiliating. And frankly, terrifying.

UNFORGIVABLE: Rubio Reveals That Hostage Talks “Fell Apart” After France Recognized Palestine

 U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said France’s move to recognize a Palestinian state directly contributed to the collapse of ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations between Israel and Hamas, warning that such decisions reward terrorism and make peace harder to achieve.

In an interview with the Catholic Eternal Word Television Network, Rubio said the talks “fell apart” the same day French President Emmanuel Macron announced Paris would unilaterally recognize Palestinian statehood.

“And then you have other people come forward, other countries say, ‘well, if there is not a ceasefire by September, we’re going to recognize a Palestinian state,’” Rubio said. “If I’m Hamas, I’d basically conclude: let’s not do a ceasefire — we can be rewarded, we can claim it as a victory.”

Rubio argued that while such announcements may be “largely symbolic” for foreign governments, they send the wrong message to the terror group, stiffening its resolve and undercutting efforts to secure the release of Israeli hostages.

“So those messages… actually have made it harder to get peace and harder to achieve a deal with Hamas,” Rubio said.

Chareidi Leaders Continue their Filthy Lies and Declare ‘War’ Over Military Arrest Of Yeshiva Students

Calling sanctions on draft dodgers a “war” insults real soldiers and hostages. The true war began on October 7th defending against our many enemies, Misusing that word is offensive and shameful.

The Chareidi narrative of perpetual “victimization”, this time by the State, is the card they always play to keep their power with their “flocks”. Same old, same old.

I don’t understand. Why the protest? Why the call for action? Why the threats of boycotts? Just go and learn in the Bais HaMedrash and Kollel. If that is good enough to protect Israel and obviate the need to actually defend oneself and your fellow Jews, then why isn’t learning good enough to protect against any Gov’t decree or action? Or is this just another example demonstrating the hypocrisy and morally corrupt Chareidi leadership?! You can’t have it both ways. Either personal Hishtadlus is needed or it is not. Clearly, the whole refusal to serve and help the country is a smokescreen and sorry excuse for the lack of character and ethics of the “Gedolim”! Sorry to say it but think about it and be honest. Sadly, it is true!

Isn’t a protest in the streets Bital Torah? I don’t recall chareidim protesting on behalf of Soviet Jewry, agunot, in support of the hostages or against Hamas. Their reason was Bital Torah. Well, the Torah did not save my father’s Rebbe, R’ Elchonon,Hy’d, R’ Simcha Zelig, Hy’d who gave my father smicha nor my grandfather, Hy’d, the Chorkever Dayan. Only my 4 grandchildren currently serving in the IDF will save the chareidim.

Ever since Yated shamelessly eulogized the pedophile Chaim Walder, yemach shemo, they’ve been a disgrace—no better than toilet paper masquerading as journalism.

 In the early hours of Monday, two brothers from the Yitzhakov family, who are students at the “Meorot HaTorah” Yeshiva in Telz Stone, were arrested at their home in Tel Aviv for “draft evasion”. (A third student from the Acheinu yeshiva in Modiin Illit, was arrested early Thursday morning.)

While the arrest initially passed quietly, by Wednesday evening top rabbinic leaders convened for urgent consultations and, as reported extensively in this morning’s religious newspapers, decided to ‘declare war’ over the matter.

In an official statement, the Va’ad HaHatzalah of the Jerusalem Faction (“HaPeleg HaYerushalmi”) wrote:

“Due to the dangerous escalation in the decree of spiritual destruction and the continued persecution of Torah learners by the evil authorities, and following the wicked arrest of ‘Meorot HaTorah’ yeshiva students for the ‘crime’ of Torah study, the rabbis of the Committee consulted with Rabbi Azriel Auerbach and other Roshei Yeshiva. From them came a clear directive: to hold a mass protest against the wicked regime, with thousands of Torah-observant Jews gathering for a major demonstration in the streets of Jerusalem at 17:00.”

The statement continued:

“The rabbis expressed sharp condemnation of the situation: ‘Today, everyone understands that we are in a decisive battle for the soul of the entire charedi world. It is the obligation of every Jew to protest the grave humiliation of Torah learners.’”

The battle this time was not confined to the Jerusalem Faction, representing 10-15% of the charedi public, but has spread to the mainstream charedi public. From the home of Lithuanian Haredi leader Rabbi Dov Landau, a statement followed an emergency consultation held at his residence in Bnei Brak:

The statement stressed:

“Last week, Rabbi Landau warned in his speech at the Va’ad HaYeshivot assembly that if the State of Israel declares war on Torah students, the global charedi world will rise up in battle. The State of Israel has now declared war on Torah students. The global charedi community will wage an unprecedented battle!”

The headline of the Loshon Hara Paper the Yated Ne’eman, the newspaper of the Degel HaTorah party which is vetted by Rabbi Landau’s associates, on Thursday morning carried a single word: “War.”

The subheadline reads:
“The State of Israel has declared open war against Bnei Torah: Two yeshiva student brothers were taken from their home and arrested by military authorities.”

According to the article in the newspaper, military and police forces carried out nighttime raids on the homes of yeshiva students, during which the two brothers, both yeshiva students, were arrested at their home in Tel Aviv. Their remand has reportedly been extended by a military court.
