BEN SHAPIRO CRASHES UCLA HEARING AND BRANDS THEM ALL "ANTI-SEMITES" Video
![]() |
| BEN SHAPIRO |
WHAT A KIDDUSH HASHEM!
Tuesday night, the UCLA Undergraduate Students Association Council (USAC) considered a resolution calling for the university to divest from businesses that supposedly “profit from the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.”
Braving hundreds of anti-Israel speakers and protesters, Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro, a UCLA alumnus, took the microphone and delivered a fiery lecture to the student council and the protesters, exposing the true motive of the so-called Boycott, Divest, Sanctions (BDS) movement: Jew-hatred.
Here is the transcript of his two-minute remarks:
My name is Ben Shapiro. I'm an alumnus of this university I'm also a local talk show host on 870 [AM] in the morning, and I got out of bed and left my one-month-old baby there when I saw what was going on here tonight. I've never been more ashamed to be a Bruin. I've never been more ashamed to be an alumnus of this university than to see this divestment petition being considered at this level.To pretend this is about occupation, to pretend this is about peace, to pretend that this anything other than vile, spiteful Jew hatred is a lie!There is only one reason we are discussing Israel and not discussing Saudi Arabia. There is only one reason we are discussing Israel and not discussing Iran. There is only one reason we are discussing Israel and not discussing Palestine. There is only one reason we are discussing Israel and not discussing the vast bevy of human rights violations that happen every day in the Middle East, exponentially worse that what happens in Israel.Any gay or lesbian that is targeting Israel in this room seems to have forgotten how high they hang gays from cranes in Iran. Every person of liberal bent who suggests that Israel is the problem in the Middle East seems to have forgotten that there is only one country in the Middle East that actually has any sort of religious diversity in it. The countries that are apartheid countries are those that are Judenrein[free of Jews] – like, for example, Palestine.So, for us to sit here and pretend that Israel is somehow on a lower moral plane is a direct manifestation of anti-Semitism. And to hold Jews to a different moral standard than any other country or group on the face of the earth represents nothing but an age-old and historic hatred for the Jewish people. All the folks here who are pretending that the B.D.S is about anything other than that – I would like to see a poll of those folks, and see how many of them actually believe in the existence of a Jewish state, qua-Jewish state, not as a state like any other, but as a Jewish state. They don't. They don't acknowledge that existence. They don't believe in that existence. They don't believe in peace. All this is about, pure and simple, is a desire to target the Jewish people.
Shapiro’s remarks earned a standing ovation from pro-Israel students and forced the student council leaders to tell anti-Israel protesters to allow dissenters to speak freely. After hours of debate, the student government finally voted on the resolution at 6:30 a.m. By a vote of 7-5, the resolution was rejected. All student government members voted anonymously and told the UCLADaily Bruin that they did so out of concern for their safety. The BDS movement’s defeat led at least some anti-Israel students to the verge of apoplexy.
Prices are going to drop for Apartments in Yerushalyim, Belzer Rebbe says there will be "Mass Emigration"
Can't wait for the "Mass Emigration" that the Belzer Rebbe is predicting, now I will be able to buy an apartment in Yerushalyim for a more reasonable price,
and I will command a better price for my home in Monsey! Win win situation.
But I don't get it.!!! Isn't it a mitzvah to defend Eretz Yisrael and the lives of your loved ones against an enemy?
Didn't Moshe dispatch an army to fight Amalek?
And wasn't it the tzadikim who were usually selected to go out to battle in ancient times?
Why are they so reluctant to fulfill their obligations of service in one capacity or another?
How frum can they be if they're so concerned that serving in the army will corrupt their religious values?.
It's the same battle that we all have to wage against the Yaitzer Harah every minute of our lives.
The “HaMachane HaChareidi” publication delivers the Holy words of the Belzer Rebbe Shlita.
This week’s edition carries the headline “Prepare for mass emigration” as a result of the draft gezeiros.
According to the report, a group of American students are committed to assisting chareidi families wishing to receive refugee status abroad. This undoubtedly reflects just how serious the rebbe is regarding threats to compel talmidim and avreichim yeshivos to leave beis medrash to serve in the IDF or a state-approved national service program.
The report states that efforts towards arranging for the first wave of people to leave Eretz HaKodesh have begun. The report speaks of “a wave of mass emigration to the Diaspora” to escape the gezeiros and permit bnei Torah to continue their lives of avodas Hashem.

Lawrence and Five Towns reeling with the firing of Rabbi Dovid Weinberger! UPDATED!
Lawrence is still in shock that Congregation Shaaray Tefila bounced Rabbi Dovid Weinberger from his prestigious position as Moro D'Asreh.
Rabbi Weinberger is the author of the famous Artscroll sefer "The Traveler's Halachic Handbook!
In 1998, the New York Times reported the following story about the Rabbi, however, the story in not related to his sudden ouster!
Rabbi Weinberger is the author of the famous Artscroll sefer "The Traveler's Halachic Handbook!
UPDATED!!!!
From the popular Blog FRUMFOLLIES
"The word is out that the Vaad of the 5 Towns and Far Rockaway has declared he should not be used as a rabbi. Individual rabbis posted flyers stating:
THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS BEING ANNOUNCED SIMULTANEIOUSLY THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY…
It is with great sadness that the following announcement is being made to alert our community to a serious concern of which many of members might not be aware.
Recently, RDW [Rabbi Dovid Weinberger], a rabbi, resigned from his position as a rabbi of a congregation [Shaaray Tefila, Lawrence, NY], educator of young women in our community, and counselor to many who sought his advice.
Following that, we learned from professionals of a number of documented cases of his
unfortunate and unacceptable behavior. It is the collective judgment of these professionals that this behavior may continue.We therefore feel obligated to inform our community of this concern and advise that there be no interaction with this rabbi in any rabbinic, educational, counseling or private setting."
In 1998, the New York Times reported the following story about the Rabbi, however, the story in not related to his sudden ouster!
Mrs. Lightman, a nurse and the mother of four daughters, won a first-round victory on Nov. 18 when Justice David Goldstein of State Supreme Court in Queens handed down a summary judgment against a Long Island rabbi, David Weinberger of Temple Shaaray Tefila in Lawrence.
Mrs. Lightman had gone to Rabbi Weinberger for marital counseling, and complains in her suit that he violated clerical confidentiality by revealing secrets to her husband, Dr. Hylton Lightman, and his lawyer, information that then showed up in papers filed in a custody dispute.
As a result, she said, unfounded rumors began to circulate, including a rumor that she was failing to live by Jewish law and ''seeing a man in a social situation,'' stories that shook her community. Now, she said, she is largely ostracized there and attributes the loss of temporary custody of her daughters, ages 6 to 12, to the suspicions planted about her.
''I am portrayed as an irreligious woman not eligible to be the custodial parent to my children,'' she said.

Sandra Korn, a self-hating Jew, is upset that Harvard dismissed an anti-Islamist instructor! Wants to stop free speech!
What's with us Jews???
This naive Jewish girl, "a farikte breeyeh" (disturbed creature) hates her own background, and loves those who blow up our innocent children in pizza shops! She is advocating that the government take away free speech from conservatives and only liberals should be able to say and write what they want!
Harvard is a nest of anti-Semites that produces these meshugoyim!
I would send her to Afganistan for a two week vacation!
Read this!
If Harvard senior Sandra Korn had her way, there would be no more free speech because it threatensliberalism, the Daily Caller reported Sunday.

If Harvard senior Sandra Korn had her way, there would be no more free speech because it threatensliberalism, the Daily Caller reported Sunday.
According to Korn, academic freedom -- specifically, the freedom to express views contrary to those supported by liberals -- should be set aside for "justice."
"Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice," was the subtitle of her column at the Harvard Crimson.
In her article, she suggested Harvard stop guaranteeing professors and students the right to hold and express controversial views and pursue research that challenges liberalism, Robby Soave said.
“If our university community opposes racism, sexism, and heterosexism, why should we put up with research that counters our goals?” she asked.
"Instead," she added, "I would like to propose a more rigorous standard: one of 'academic justice.' When an academic community observes research promoting or justifying oppression, it should ensure that this research does not continue."
Translation: Only speech and research that supports liberalism should be allowed.
Korn, Soave added, then cited examples of how her idea of "justice" should be pursued at Harvard.
"The firing of Subramanian Swamy, a Harvard summer school instructor who was dismissed for his anti-Islamic views, was one such triumph," he said.
She also addressed the academic boycott of Israel, something Soave said was condemned by Harvard President Drew Faust and numerous other university presidents.
"Opponents of the boycott claim that it restricts the freedom of Israeli academics or interrupts the 'free flow of ideas," Korn said. "Proponents of the boycott often argue that the boycott is intended to, in the end, increase, not restrict, academic freedom—the ASA points out that 'there is no effective or substantive academic freedom for Palestinian students and scholars under conditions of Israeli occupation.'”
She went on to accuse conservative opponents of the boycott of engaging in a “freedom” game, while saying only those on the left who oppose Israel and supposedly "care about justice" can "take the moral upper hand."
Korn's view, Soave said, appears to be growing on colleges across the country, citing the case of Swarthmore College sophomore Erin Ching, who criticized the school for allowing conservative Christian thinker Robert George to speak on campus.
“What really bothered me is, the whole idea is that at a liberal arts college, we need to be hearing a diversity of opinion,” she said. “I don’t think we should be tolerating [George’s] conservative views because that dominant culture embeds these deep inequalities in our society.”
Pro-life students at the University of Alabama were also told they could not express their views after the school secretly removed a poster some students found objectionable.
Korn, Soave said, "did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

Letter from Rav Shach z"l "Non-learning boys cannot be exempt from the army!"
![]() |
אם הרב שך היה כותב היום מכתב כזה שמואל אויערבך ונתי גרוסמן היו רוגמים אותו באבנים |
They would have called him an Apikoras, a heretic, his seforim would have been publicly burned!
But this letter from Harav Schach z"l to all Roshei Yeshiva proves, what we all knew all along, that he was all for non-learning boys joining the IDF!
This letter says in effect that Yeshivas should not issue a "P'tur" (an exemption) to the IDF, to boys who are not learning!
There you have it.......
I challenge the Yated and Hamodia to print this letter!
and here is a translation to those holy tzaddikim who can only read hebrew!
Show this letter to your children, and tell them what a real Rosh Yeshivah thought about boys not joining the Israeli Army!
מי היה מאמין אם מי היה כותב מכתב כזה מטעם 'ועד הישיבות' האם היה לו שעה אחת זכות קיום, היו רוגמים אותו באבנים זורקים אותו מכל המדרגות שמואל אויערבך היה צועק וצווח כי מדובר בכופר ואפיקורס וחרד"ק, ה'השקפה' של ימינו אומרת כי אסור ללכת לצבא ואין זה משנה אם 'תורתו אומנתו' לומדים או לא לומדים
תקראו טוב את הוראת הרב שך לכל ראשי הישיבות כי חלילה לתת אישור של 'תורתו אומנותו' למי שאינו לומד יומם ולילה, כל מי שמתעסק עם דברים חיצוניים אסור לתת לו אישור כזה, ואילו היום הוראה כזו אינה מקובלת עוד על הקנאים החדשים הצודרייטער משערי חסד החליט כי הרב שך לא הבין מספיק וההוכחה כי רצה לשתות ממי רגליו. כזכור הרב שך אמר כי הוא רוצה לזכות לשתות את מי רגליו של ראש המחבלים בשערי חסד, והוא אומר כי הרב שך עדיין לא הגיע לדרגת ההבנה ב'השקפה' נתי גרוסמן יש לו הרבה מה ללמד אותו, מפני שרק הוא מבין לשרשם של דברים, הרב שך רחוק מאוד מזה, וההוכחה שכתב מכתב כזה מטעם ועד הישיבות לראשי הישיבות ולא מסר נפשו ולא הורה על ייהרג ואל יעבור ואף הורה להתייצב לרישום בלשכת הגיוס ולא כדברי ההוא משערי חסד כי אסור להתייצב
Askanim blame the Ladies, again, for all troubles! Will have Men-Only Gathering to Discuss Ladies Clothing!
Only the ladies have to do Tesuvah for wearing immodest clothing, which is "causing all the tragedies."
Men have nothing to worry about, they can continue to steal, rob, sexually abuse anybody they choose and they can continue beating their wives.
That's why ladies were not invited to this Men-Only Asifah!
They don't want the ladies to know, G-D forbid, that they are the cause of all the tragedies! So let's only invite the Holy Men for a boys only night, to discuss the bad ladies!
By the way, who are these Askanim? Why didn't they sign anything? I think that if their wives would find out about it they would beat the hell out of them! Only perverts would dictate to the ladies what they should wear, aren't there enough Rebbitzins that can tell the ladies what to wear?
Don't get me wrong, I think that we should all contemplate and give thought to why G-D is punishing us, and why young people are suddenly dying and getting very sick. And I believe that everything happens for a reason. We should be concerned, we should ask ourselves, "What's going on?" We should do our utmost to adhere to the mitzvos and yes to respect our gedolim!
But to have a bunch of un-named "askanim" pushing an agenda that actually excludes their own gender is asinine ....
Read from the Hamodia!
Our Comments in RED!
and only 12? You can get 12 Rebbelich on one block in Williamsburg? What happened to the hundreds of Rabbonim? )
By the way, are you telling me that 12 Rabbonim sat with a bunch of Ladies to talk? I would have loved to be a fly on the wall.
And how did this meeting come about? The ladies contacted the Rabbi guys? How did they choose which 12 Rabbis?
I don't believe this happened!)
Who are you talking about? Why are they afraid to give their names?)
"mid' Oraisa?" I challange you to tell us what halachos d'oraisa you are talking about?)

(who are they? I don't see the names? "12 Leading local Rabbanim?" Who are they talking about? Again No Names..“…After a series of tragedies sent tremors through the community in the past few months, a group of 12 leading local Rabbanim and askanim
and only 12? You can get 12 Rebbelich on one block in Williamsburg? What happened to the hundreds of Rabbonim? )
("leading mechanchos" Which ones? Names, Please...gathered to discuss vital issues facing the community. During the meeting, they heard firsthand accounts from leading mechanchos
By the way, are you telling me that 12 Rabbonim sat with a bunch of Ladies to talk? I would have loved to be a fly on the wall.
And how did this meeting come about? The ladies contacted the Rabbi guys? How did they choose which 12 Rabbis?
I don't believe this happened!)
(For G-d's sake .... Which two? "primary organizers? "regarding breaches in hilchos tznius [modesty laws].
When their findings were brought before the Skulener Rebbe, shlita, and the Rachmastrivka Rebbe, shlita, the two Rebbes, who were deeply moved by what they heard, took the unprecedented step of writing a stirring, joint letter to all the local Rabbanim, asking them to take action and encouraging them to arrange a community-wide gathering.…
Two of the primary organizers described to Hamodia what is behind the gathering.
Who are you talking about? Why are they afraid to give their names?)
(before it was 2 organizers, now it suddenly became 1 ?, What was the other organizer doing while this one was talking?)
“The purpose of this asifah is to raise awareness about the halachic aspects of this issue,” one of the organizers said.
(Let me understand this. So, now, un-named organizers met un-named mechonchos with 12 local un-named rabbonim and they will make us "aware of what constitutes daas Yehudis." Unbelievable!“Many families who are knowledgeable, even stringent, in many other areas of halachah are simply unaware of what constitutes daas Yehudis in this issue, and about the numerous prohibitions — including some that are possibly even mid’Oraisa —
"mid' Oraisa?" I challange you to tell us what halachos d'oraisa you are talking about?)
(show me this in Shulchan Aruch)that are violated by those who sell and wear unsuitable articles of clothing. We are not referring to chumros, we are referring to fundamental, basic halachah.”
(Finally, my question all along!)
But why gather men to talk about halachos pertaining to women?
("support their wives? " These guys are not supporting their wives, the wives are supporting them)
“Like kashrus and shemiras Shabbos, men have the same responsibility as women do on this issue. It is vital for men to have the knowledge they need to be able to support their wives
(Which organizer?)and guide their daughters regarding the relevant halachos,” the organizer explained.…”
Organizers are also planning to hold a meeting for principals of girls’ schools and camp directors in early March and are,
(again, the'll be talking to the ladies? Who gave a bunch "Organizers" a "heter" to speak to the women?)
Hamodia reports, "in intensive discussions" with storeowners and investors about opening "new clothing stores to provide practical alternatives to what is currently available."
(not a bad idea, maybe now some will actually work for a living!)

Farfrumte Meshugoiyim didn't call firefighters because it was Shabbos
![]() |
| The burnt mattress that could have killed them all |
Nu! The frum world is getting crazier then ever! Some Baalie Teshuvois would rather get killed and have their whole family wiped out than call Firemen on Shabbos....
When I grew up, most people in shul learned Mishnayois, and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. Very few people were learning the daf! But they knew the basics... enough to re-build the Torah World.
Today, Thank G-D, all shuls have people learning the daf, and we have a generation of people who are well versed in Shas. The problem is, they don't have a clue of simple Halachos. They ask their perspective Rabbis the most mundane questions .... and if the Rabbi isn't right there, they become baffled and hopelessly lost!
The Frum world has become a joke to the gentile world, they think that we are a bunch of morons!
The Kiruv organizations are to blame, they take naive people and invite them for shabbos and feed them cholent, kugel and bubbelich and tell them how beautiful Shabbos is and then brainwash them with superficial ideas that you cannot do anything on this holy day but eat, sleep and go to shul .....
What they should be teaching them is basic halachos, but alas, the Kiruv guys know nothing themselves.... that's the problem!
Read the following and weep!
Firefighters responded to an automatic alarm at a home in Pomona on Saturday morning and learned that there had been a fire but no one called 911.
Officials said the mattress fire was not reported by phone because the home’s Orthodox Jewish occupants were observing the Sabbath. No one was injured.
Chris Kear, the public information officer for the Hillcrest Fire Department, said the fire at 16 Tara Drive started in a second-floor bedroom, where a man had used a pillow to dim a lamp for a child. The pillow and a mattress began smoldering. When the smoke increased the man took the mattress down the stairs and out of the house. The mattress caught fire along the way as it encountered new oxygen, Kear said.
“The situation could have been a lot worse,” Kear said.

Shvartzeh Anti-semitka honored by PBS
PBS, America’s Public Broadcasting Service, broadcast a Master's Series episode about Alice Walker on February 7th, entitled Beauty and Truth.
The program, reports media monitor CAMERA, is a tribute to Walker, an author who gained fame from her 1982 novel, "The Color Purple." In recent years, however, Walker has slid ever deeper into the worlds of anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories -- an trend that PBS seems willing to ignore.
Though she has written little of note recently, CAMERA states that her championing of the lesbian lifestyle and agitation against Israel have kept her fashionable among segments of the media and academia: "
A review in the Femenist Wire describes how 'In Walker’s life... beauty exists within a mosaic of truths alongside rabid institutional racism, patriarchy, misogyny, colonialism, heterosexism, and so much else.'"
Much of that "so much else" seems to revolve around her hatred for Israel. Toward the end of the PBS program, Walker discusses at some length her commitment to the Palestinian cause. She showed her support for Hamas-ruled Gaza, she says, by planning to participate in the 2011 Gaza Flotilla.
Though other controversial aspects of Walker’s life and outlook are dealt with candidly, Walker makes numerous unsubstantiated charges against Israel, which PBS allow to go unexamined and unanswered.
Walker compares the plight of the Palestinians to the black civil rights movement in the South -- but in her opinion, Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is worse. She denounces Israel's separation barrier -- which she calls an "apartheid" wall -- and maintains that the Palestinians are "just daily humiliated... ground in the dirt."
She has defended suicide bombings, finding it “dishonest… that people claim not to understand the desperate, last ditch resistance involved in suicide bombings, blaming the oppressed for using their bodies.”
PBS did not enlighten viewers about Walker’s history of issuing hateful statements about Israel and Zionism [and Jews]. In 2011, she accused Israel and the United States of being "great terrorist organisations" and has used blatantly anti-Semitic religious imagery to whip up hatred of the Jewish state. She has called Jesus, a Galilean Jew, “a Palestinian" and claimed he "is still being crucified."
Walker made headlines in Israel last year by refusing to authorise a Hebrew translation of ”The Color Purple.” She also published an open letter urging singer Alicia Keys to cancel her scheduled July concert in Israel and play in Gaza instead. In a 2012 interview, Walker accused Israel of “stealing so much Palestinian land, they have essentially stolen all of Palestine.”
Walker's first husband was a Jewish civil rights lawyer. She has recounted a meeting with an elderly Palestinian woman in the territories. The woman, upon accepting a gift from Walker, said, "May God protect you from the Jews" to which Walker responded, "It’s too late, I already married one."
Her grip on reality has been called into question -- also ignored by PBS. She has endorsed the writings of David Icke, who maintains that the human mind is controlled from the moon. The moon, he claims, is actually a “gigantic spacecraft” which sends us a “fake reality broadcast.”
