Obama deserts an ally in wartime

New York Post Editorial August 18, 2014

What kind of ally refuses to send you desperately needed weapons when you’re smack in the middle of a war?

Apparently, that’s what the Obama folks did with Israel, which is caught up fighting with Hamas. It’s unforgivable.

The decision came, it seems, after White House officials learned that, unbeknownst to them, Israel had gotten mortar shells and grenade-illuminating rounds from the Pentagon to use against Hamas, as The Wall Street Journal reported last week.

Officials say they were “blindsided” by the transfer. But it turns out that it was done as a matter of routine: No OK by the president or secretary of state was needed.

Still, the White House suddenly put all future transfers on hold, including a scheduled shipment of Hellfire missiles. And it ordered the Pentagon to consult with the executive branch and State Department before approving any future requests.

Obama folks downplayed the move and claims of a new tiff with Israel. They say reports that they held up missile shipments “does not indicate any change in policy.”
If true, though, what kind of a policy is it?

In any case, the animosity between President Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is no secret. Just last week, the Journal reported, the men had a “particularly combative phone call.”

No doubt the White House is irked by the fact that its efforts to mediate an end to the fighting have fallen flat and that it’s been pushed to the sidelines as others, like Egypt, take up the role.
It also resents the fact that Israel insists on pursuing its right to self-defense and won’t give in to US pressure to make more concessions.

Yet none of that justifies lashing out against Israel — and holding up weapons — in the middle of a war.

If Israel suffers, and its terrorist enemies are emboldened, America’s own security interest abroad will be harmed. And if any ally still trusts us to have their back, they won’t anymore.

The president is letting his personal pique get the better of him. It’s unwise. And certainly no way treat a friend in wartime.

West Bank Coup Attempt by Hamas Thwarted, Plan Involved Mass Slaughter Of Jews

Israel’s Shin Bet security service says it has thwarted a Hamas coup attempt in the Palestinian controlled area known as the “West Bank”, though it provided few details.

The service says that it arrested more than 90 Hamas operatives in an alleged plot to carry out attacks against Jews and wrest control from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.


It says it also confiscated weapons and more than $170,000. It says the plot was orchestrated by a senior Hamas official based in Turkey and that local officials were aware.

Hamas officials had no immediate comment to the claim.

Hamas overtook the Gaza Strip in 2007 from forces loyal to Abbas. It is currently negotiating to Cairo over a cease-fire to formally end the Gaza war.

Malka Leifer ex- Principal of Adass Israel School in Melbourne arrested over alleged sexual abuse

A FORMER principal of a Melbourne Jewish girls’ school has been arrested amid claims she sexually abused students including sisters.

Malka Leifer was arrested in Israel overnight where it is believed extradition proceedings have started in an attempt to have her returned to Melbourne.

The Attorney General’s office confirmed this morning Ms Leifer is wanted in Melbourne to face allegations of historic sexual offending against a string of girls.

The mother of eight left Australia in 2008 after she was sacked as principal at the ultra orthodox Adass Israel School in Elsternwick.

The sacking followed complaints that she had acted inappropriately with students while principal between 2001 and 2008.

Victoria Police launched an investigation into the complaints in 2011.

A police spokesman confirmed this morning that an investigation into “complaints of historical sex offences at an Elsternwick School” continued.

It is believed Ms Leifer could face dozens of charges of indecent assault and rape.

Her arrest is the latest in a string of scandals to rock Melbourne’s orthodox Jewish community.

Manny Waks, founder of sexual assault victims support group Tzedek, said Ms Leifer’s arrest was a welcome development.

“It should be seen in the greater context of the ongoing child sexual abuse scandal that has been plaguing the Australian Jewish community,” he said.

“This is further evidence that the tide is turning within our community.

“Many victims are no longer willing to remain silent, and neither is the community.”

Mr Waks said he expected the Adass Israel School would co-operate fully with the police.

“I also hope and expect that the police will examine all the circumstances surrounding Ms Leifer leaving Australia and hold to account anyone who may have acted inappropriately.”

Adass Israel School principal Prof Israel Herszberg issued a short statement in light of the arrest.

“The school has and will continue to co-operate fully with the authorities but otherwise is unable to comment further where the matters involving Mrs Leifer are before the courts.”

The school, of about 500 students, caters primarily to members of the closed ultra-orthodox Adass Israel Community in Elsternwick and Ripponlea.

In line with their strict religious beliefs students at the school are segregated on the basis of gender and have little interaction with people outside of the community.

Der Yid, Satmar Newspaper accuses IDF of murdering Hadar Goldin, soldier that was murdered by Hamas and kidnapped

Hadar Goldin HY"D

Believe me I am not making this up.

Der Yid, the Zalonie Satmar faction's, Yiddish newspaper, under the Headline  לא תרצח  is writing that the IDF actually murdered the Religious Soldier, Lt. Hadar Goldin.,
Goldin, was an officer in the Givati Brigade, that was part of a group of soldiers who had found a Hamas tunnel in a rural area near Rafah, and they were working on decommissioning it when they were attacked.

Der Yid claims, that since Israel has a policy of "No sodier left behind" when Goldin's

 comrades saw him being kidnapped, they murdered him in cold blood.


DIN: We believe that Menachem Stark HY"D was murdered by the Zalonies, because he had info on the Rebbe, so the Rebbe set him up! We believe that's why they burned his body, so that there would be no finger prints. We believe that the Rebbe had him killed on Shabbos, when everybody was busy eating at the Rebbe's tish. 



This is the filth that

 these Romanian sickos are feeding their readers.

A loose translation of the second & third paragraph:

"For the last 10 days, the Jewish streets are totally in an uproar, about the scary murder story that the IDF perpertrated on one of their own. The IDF condemned and most likely carried out the murder on their own officer with the name Hadar Goldin. 
No! He wasn't a spy, nor was he a traitor , he was a loyal soldier who served in the Givati Battallion in Gaza. There on the battlefield, the IDF condemned him to death and carried thru the order. Hadar never returned and his body was never found. To verify his death, the IDF got experts and their Chief Rabbi Rafi Peretz, and they concluded that he was dead."

3 Year Old Aron Follman dies in bungalow fire, Video

A three year old boy died Sunday night in a bungalow fire at Camp Mareh Yechezkel in Liberty, New York.
Aron Follman of Borough Park died of smoke inhalation in the blaze.

Follman’s mother, who was in the bungalow when the fire broke out, managed to remove her Two other children from the building. 

The bungalow, a double unit, housed two families and all members of the other family were evacuated safely. According to eyewitness reports, the fire is believed to have started in the master bedroom.
Hatzolah members were the first to respond to the emergency call, which came in at approximately 9:48 PM. Several Hatzolah members and a New York State trooper who were among the first to arrive on scene attempted to enter the burning building to search for possible victims, but all were forced to leave because of the severity of the blaze.

The state trooper was one of several people, including two other Follman children, who were transported to the hospital.

A nearby electrical line also caught fire and video taken by one bystander as the fire trucks arrive on scene show the raging flames raging amid warnings of a live electrical wire. Volunteers from both the Liberty and the Swan Lake fire departments responded to the fire a few minutes after 10 PM.

Members of the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office, the Liberty building inspector are all currently on scene.

Litvish Yeshiva Guys Have nothing to do Bein Hazmanim so they protest the IDF that was protecting them!

When the missiles were raining down on  Ashdod and Askelon, the Yeshivas closed and the boys and Yungeleit ran like cockroaches to the north. Now, that Bein Hazmanim has kicked in, they are out like rats in the night fighting those who protect them....
Shame on those cowards! 
This is Torah????

This guy on the left looks like a rich American ..

Hundreds of Charedi men and youths associated with the Jerusalem Faction, a hardline grouping of the non-hassidic haredi community, staged violent demonstrations Sunday evening in several locations across the country, in protest at the arrest of a Charedi yeshiva student who has refused to present himself at IDF enlistment offices when called to do so.

Protests took place in Jerusalem, as well as on major traffic arteries including road junctions close to Bnei Brak, Modiin Illit, Beit Shemesh, Ashdod, and several other locations.
At least four haredi protestors were arrested by police for trying to block major roads and thoroughfares

The yeshiva student in question, Eliyahu Cohen, attends the Orhot David yeshiva in Jerusalem which is associated with the Jerusalem Faction, a breakaway group from the mainstream non-Chassidic haredi Degel Hatorah political movement.

In accordance with the instructions of the movement and its spiritual leader Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, 83, Cohen has repeatedly refused to present himself at IDF enlistment offices after receiving conscription orders and was originally arrested in March 2014 for failing to report, which prompted mass demonstrations around the country.

Cohen is currently being held in the IDF military’s Prison Six facility near Haifa and has reportedly begun a hunger strike.
According to the Committee to Save the Torah World, a body associated with the Jerusalem Faction, Cohen received another enlistment order last month, and upon refusing to enlist was imprisoned for 20 days. He was subsequently released and then asked once again to report to the recruitment office to enlist and again refused and has now been arrested once again.

A request by The Jerusalem Post to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit to confirm the sequence of events was not answered by time of press.

The Jerusalem Faction, headed by Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, 83, broke away from Degel Hatorah less than two years ago after Auerbach lost a power struggle with Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman, who is the spiritual leader of the Degel movement, and set up the Bnei Torah political party.

Auerbach, who is more isolationist and hardline than Shteinman, has instructed yeshiva students associated with its movement not to present themselves to IDF enlistment offices when called to do so, unlike the Degel movement which instructs yeshiva students to report to IDF offices in order to complete preliminary processing.

The charedi daily newspaper Hapeles, the mouthpiece of Bnei Torah, reported on Sunday that Auerbach had called for protests against the arrest of Cohen.
“According to the instructions the revered Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, masses of people will go out to demonstrations and protest rallies until the terrible decree is cancelled,” an article in the paper reported.

The terms of the law for haredi conscription passed in March mean that enlistment to the IDF for any haredi man who was 18 and over on the day the law was passed is voluntary, while anyone under this age is obligated to serve but may delay his service for a maximum of three years, meaning that men in this category will only be obligated to enlist starting June 2017.

The Vicious anti-Semite Schabas, vows to probe Gaza operation even without Israel's cooperation

The international anti-Semite jurist who was tapped to head the United Nations Human Rights Council inquiry into Israel’s conduct during Operation Protective Edge defiantly vowed to follow through on his investigation even if the Israeli government refuses to cooperate.

Jew Hater William Schabas

In an interview with Channel 2, the Jew hating, Prof. William Schabas said he will proceed with his probe, “and I might even come to Israel to examine things from up close.”

Schabas has come under a torrent of criticism here in Israel for prior statements regarding the need to bring Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu before an international tribunal for war crimes. Those remarks have prompted Israeli government officials to dismiss him as an impartial investigator, and that his opinions render the panel which he heads “a kangaroo court.”

“The committee hasn’t begun its work,” the Canadian jurist told Channel 2. “When the UN gives us its final approval – and we hope this will be very soon – we will begin our work. It’s very important for us to come to Israel, but this visit won’t be important if the authorities in Israel don’t cooperate with us, despite my hope that they will cooperate.”

Despite calls by Israel to have Schabas replaced, the professor said he will remain in his post. The UNHRC has stated that it stands behind Schabas’s appointment as head of the committee. 

Obama is finally driving Jews from the Democratic party

A  friend who is conservative and  Jewish asks a question: “Given  Obama’s hostile treatment of  Israel, isn’t it time for Jews to have their Ronald Reagan moment?”

By that, he means when the Gipper said, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The party left me.”

Without doubt, the party under Barack Obama has left those Jews who view Israel’s security as threatened.

Obama recently told a New York Times interviewer, “Because Israel is so capable militarily, I don’t worry about Israel’s survival.”
That’s shocking, considering Iran’s threat to wipe Israel off the map once it gets nukes. And even as Obama spoke, the Jewish state was in a mini-war with Hamas, which vows to eliminate Israel and is supported by Iran.

Obama apparently doesn’t take those aims seriously, perhaps believing they are only boob bait for the Muslim masses. But if “kill the Jews” is what the masses want to hear, why assume that isn’t official policy? After all, many thought Hitler wasn’t serious, either.

Israel can’t afford to assume its enemies will only talk the talk, so it must act as if those who say they want genocide really do. That’s why it doesn’t play tit-for-tat when it is attacked, and why it is so nervous about Iran.

But Obama’s lack of worry about Israel isn’t limited to his rhetoric, as The Wall Street Journal revealed. The president’s pique at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached a new high during the Hamas conflict, and Obama is now putting a squeeze on military shipments to Israel.
The State Department insists this is routine, nothing to see here, 
blah, blah, blah. Nonsense.

Even a “review” of American policy is a warning to Netanyahu and an invitation to his political opponents at home that their nation is at odds with its essential ally.

Some American supporters of ­Israel, including Democrats, are furious at Obama. And Israeli media report opposition pols there are blaming Netanyahu for “losing” America.
It is obvious Obama wants a liberal lapdog in Israel, a point underscored by his complaint to the Times’ Tom Friedman that Netanyahu’s poll numbers are very high. “Bibi is too strong,” Obama insisted, saying it insulated him from having to make the decisions Obama wants him to make.

In other words, the Israeli public is also wrong for supporting Netanyahu, and Obama knows what’s best for them. He said that to “preserve a Jewish state that is also reflective of the best values” of its founders, ­Israelis must “find a way to live side by side in peace with Palestinians . . . You have to recognize that they have legitimate claims and this is their land and neighborhood, as well.”

As a platitude, that could be harmless. But remember the context. In that statement, made during a war that Hamas started, Obama made Hamas a synonym for all ­Palestinians.
It’s not, unless he believes all ­Palestinians, including the relative moderates who govern the West Bank, share the Hamas goal of eliminating Israel.
He’s also undermining the long-standing policy of supporting moderate, peaceful Palestinians with the goal of freezing out the terrorists.

To say, as Obama does, that Israel must recognize that Hamas has “legitimate claims” is to reward it for starting the war. It transfers legitimacy and power from Palestinian moderates to the terrorists.
As one Israeli paper put it, “US livid with Israel? Hamas can’t ­believe its luck.”

So, is this the moment when American Jews realize the Democratic Party has left them?
Gallup surveyed 88,000 Americans through June and found that 55 percent of Jews approved of the president, while 41 percent disapproved. Among all religious groups, 
Muslims gave him the highest approval, at 72 percent.
The 55 percent Jewish approval marks a big decline from the 69 percent of the Jewish vote Obama got in 2012, and the 78 percent he got in 2008.

Despite what anti-Semites believe, not all Jews care equally about Israel, and certainly don’t agree on what is best for Israel. Other issues affect their vote as well.
Still, the well-being of the lone Jewish state is a significant factor for many, and they want a president who shares their concern. 

Given Obama’s recent hostile conduct and comments, a new poll likely would find his support falling even more.
It’s not a “Reagan moment,” but it’s getting closer.

Schumer: Defund Human Rights Council If Schabas Is Not Removed As Investigator Of Gaza Conflict

 U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today slammed the United Nations for appointing William Schabas as head of the U.N Gaza Commission and urged the United States to defund and withdraw from the U.N. Human Rights Council if Schabas is not removed.

The anti-Semite Schabas

Schabas has previously made anti-Israel comments and has participated in the 2012 Russell Tribunal on Palestine, evincing a pronounced anti-Israel bias and making him inappropriate to head any potential investigative report on Israel.

Schumer today said that Schabas must be removed as head of the UN Gaza Commission otherwise the U.S. should totally defund the U.S. contribution to the Human Rights Council. 

The U.S. funds approximately 22 percent of the U.N’s annual budget and approximately $1.5 million to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
“Mr. Schabas’s previous comments make him obviously biased against Israel and a supremely inappropriate choice to head any investigation into the Gaza conflict.

In fact, allowing Mr. Schabas to head the U.N. Gaza Commission is like allowing a biased prosecutor to be the judge, that’s why I’m urging the United States to both stop all funding and pull out of the U.N.’s Human Rights Council if Mr. Schabas is not removed. Any investigative findings from Schabas on Israel will be completely subjective and a sham,” said Schumer.

William Schabas is a law professor recently appointed to head the United National Human Rights Council’s commission of inquiry to investigate the Gaza conflict. Schabas has made prior comments suggesting strong anti-Israel feelings.

Specifically, Schabas has stated, “my favorite would be Netanyahu within the dock of the International Criminal Court.” 

 Schabas also stated, “Why are we going after the President of Sudan for Darfur and not the President of Israel for Gaza? Because politics.” 

Additionally, Schabas participated in the Russell Tribunal on Palestine.

Letter from Pninim & Chedvas Girl to Rabbi Kahane

someone who knows said...

I went to Pninim. And Chedvas. I am not here to talk about Meisels although I will say this scandal comes as no surprise. 

But to hear Kahane speak this way just escalated the whole thing to another level. This is coming from a man who refused to accept Pninim girls until Meisels forced him to. He constantly ridiculed him for living the "in-between kinda frum." He mocked him and disagreed with him on everything. He disrespected him to his students with plenty of lashon hara. And now he's telling us to be quiet? 

Now, when we've learned to trust in rabbanim we shouldn't believe what a Beis Din says even if it's lashon hara litoeles? I can't hold back anymore. People need to see what goes on in this seminary. This is how they teach. This is how they live. This is the way they want us to be.

Rabbi kahane,
Are we YOUR army? Did YOU train us? Do you really know what hashem is saying? 

No, I don't hear Him telling chedvas girls to be quiet. I don't hear Him telling me that my knees have anything to do with anything at all besides me and my private modesty which you have no right trying to control. 

You are not a commander. You are not a sergeant. You are not in control of who can save the world and who will merit mashiach. You actually know nothing at all. You are blinded. Misguided. 

You fell for the mystical attraction of religion and you try to pass on falsehood. I have been under your rule. I have experienced your perspective. I have heard your voice in my ear while you yelled through your phone. Because you disagreed with a choice I made about my life. I actually never heard a rabbi scream like that. And it hurt the kind that made me cry. 

Every soldier that dies I think it's my fault. I think god is punishing ME. I automatically feel guilt for every bad thing I hear, because if you do something wrong YOUR DESTROYING THE WORLD! 

Am I? 

So, all who are in favor of succumbing to a cult where you will never find true happiness - stick with chedvas. You will enjoy a fun filled year under a manipulative man who will try to impress on you things you do not need to do so that he can be in control. 

Give it up kahane. You can't control the world. 
I can't destroy it either. 

If you really want to change something I heard the IDF needs some help in Gaza.
