First Jewish Bachlorette Andy Dorfman breaks up from her "goy"

Nu Nu, maybe she will  find a nice Jewish boy?

They shocked fans with news of their breakup on Thursday, but a source close to Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray tells PEOPLE that the separation is indeed amicable. 

"There was no cheating, no event or incident that led to the breakup," says the source. "Andi and Josh spent their engagement working on their relationship and it just didn't work out. They figured out that they're not supposed to be together." 

Murray's mother, Lauren Goodhart Murray, weighed in on the split on Friday, writing on her Facebook page: "Yes it's true, Andi & Josh have chosen to break off their engagement. Although there was no one thing that precipitated their decision, they were thoughtful & wise in their decision and I'm happy they figured this out before getting married & having kids." 

Goodhart Murray went on to write: "The engagement time did it's job in helping them determine what's best for them. I know we all wanted the storybook ending but I trust The Lord has an even better journey for each of them and that makes my heart happy. Thank you for your love and messages. I'm overwhelmed & humbled by your words. XO" 

Adds the source of Dorfman, 27, and Murray, 30, who got engagedon the show last May and both live in Atlanta, "They're still friends." 

Why is the Satmar Rebbe quiet about the murdered French Jews?



He was so quick to give mussar to the parents of the three murdered teens.....
Remember when Aron Teitelbaum, had the chutzpah to attack the parents of the slain boys, while they were still in the shivah?
He ranted that the "blood of the three slain boys is on the parents' head", because they live in a "dangerous place"... 

Well, where is his mouth now? 

Reuters mocks Netanyahu for marching in front row!


The only one that should have really been marching at this rally was Netanyahu! But what does the Goyishe media do? 
They mock him for "pushing" his way to the front! 
Why wasn't he put in front right away, wasn't he representing the Jewish hostages that were murdered in cold blood?
What about the clown Abbas, wasn't he pushing his way to the front!
This is part of the News that Reuters was reporting yesterday....
They didn't report that Obama wasn't there, they didn't report that Biden wasn't there, they didn't report that Holder was in Paris and never showed, though he did manage to do 5 TV interviews that morning in France!



A video posted on Facebook, the news footage mockingly set to the Looney Tunes cartoon music, showed Netanyahu maneuvering his way to the front of the rally with the help of several bodyguards, allowing him to be photographed arm-in-arm with other leaders, including French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Those pictures were quickly posted on Netanyahu’s Twitter feed, while the banner on his Facebook page was changed to a photograph of him in the front row, shoulder-to-shoulder with Hollande, Merkel, Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita and EU leaders Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk.
Not shown in the picture was Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who was standing alongside Tusk, six feet (two meters) from Netanyahu. The two broke off peace talks last April and tensions between them have risen since, with Netanyahu accusing Abbas of inciting violence against Israelis.
While the images on Facebook and Twitter are likely to buoy Netanyahu domestically, despite some criticism of his gauche behavior, going to Paris served Abbas less well. He has been vilified on social media and in newspaper cartoons for going to the French capital rather than visiting Gaza, which he has not been to since before last summer’s war with Israel.

Deri is Baaaaaaack!

Ha Ha! I knew it! I knew it!
He was ordered back by the "Council of Torah Sages"!
Is this some sort of cruel joke?
Woe to us! Woe to our Torah! Woe to our Torah Sages!

Just 13 days after he resigned from his Knesset seat and said he was quitting political life, Shas Chairman Arye Deri announced on Monday that he was returning to lead the party into the upcoming elections.
“I accept with humility and a bowed head the order of the Council of Torah Sages headed by council president Maran Rabbi Shalom Cohen,” said Deri in reference to a letter sent to Deri by Cohen yesterday telling him he must return to lead Shas.
“I was raised and educated all my life to adhere to the instructions of our rabbis, and therefore after a difficult period in which I conducted a personal and familial accounting of myself in which I weighed various considerations, I decided that the Shas movement, the movement of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, and hundreds of thousands of voters are more important than any other consideration,” he continued in a statement issued by his office to the press.
“With head raised,proudly and determinedly, I will continue to lead the movement in order to continue the life’s work of Maran [Rabbi Yosef] and to be there for all those who the state has left behind.”
Deri resigned from the Knesset on December 30 following the airing of a damaging video in which the late spiritual leader of the Shas movement Rabbi Ovadia Yosef said that Deri was “too independent,” did not listen to instructions given to him by the rabbi and called him a “bad person.”
Although he resigned his Knesset seat, Deri never resigned as chairman of the Shas movement which gave him an avenue to promptly retract his retreat from political life.
Criticism was already being voiced of Deri’s actions as insincere when he gave an interview at the beginning of last week to Channel 2 saying that he was “reconsidering” his decision to quit politics.

WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT ON ‘VIOLENT EXTREMISM’ OMITS ISLAM

On Sunday, as world leaders gathered for an anti-terror rally in Paris, France, the Obama administration announced that it would convene a global “Summit on Countering Violent Extremism” on Feb. 18. 

The White House released a statement describing the summit agenda, which failed to mention Islam, radical Islam, or anything related to the actual ideology motivating the Paris attacks.

The full text, as released by CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, is as follows:
On February 18, 2015, the White House will host a Summit on Countering Violent Extremism to highlight domestic and international efforts to prevent violent extremists and their supporters from radicalizing, recruiting, or inspiring individuals or groups in the United States and abroad to commit acts of violence, efforts made even more imperative in light of recent, tragic attacks in Ottawa, Sydney, and Paris. This summit will build on the strategy the White House released in August of 2011, Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States, the first national strategy to prevent violent extremism domestically.
Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) efforts rely heavily on well-informed and resilient local communities. Boston, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis-St. Paul have taken the lead in building pilot frameworks integrating a range of social service providers, including education administrators, mental health professionals, and religious leaders, with law enforcement agencies to address violent extremism as part of the broader mandate of community safety and crime prevention. The summit will highlight best practices and emerging efforts from these communities.
At the same time, our partners around the world are actively implementing programs to prevent violent extremism and foreign terrorist fighter recruitment. The summit will include representatives from a number of partner nations, focusing on the themes of community engagement, religious leader engagement, and the role of the private sector and tech community.
Through presentations, panel discussions, and small group interactions, participants will build on local, state, and federal government; community; and international efforts to better understand, identify, and prevent the cycle of radicalization to violence at home in the United States and abroad. Additional information regarding participants and the agenda will be provided at a future date.
President Barack Obama did not attend the Paris rally, nor did Vice President Biden or Secretary of State John Kerry. Attorney General Eric Holder, who was in France anyway for a unrelated conference, and is notorious for refusing to identify radical Islam as the source of terrorist attacks against the U.S., was sent instead, and didn't show up.

3.7 million march in France! More than when Allies liberated the City from the Nazis!

France’s Interior Ministry said the Paris rally for unity against terrorism on Sunday was the largest demonstration in France’s history — a march organized to show harmony after three days of attacks that left 17 dead

Calling the rally “unprecedented,” the ministry said the demonstrators were so numerous they spread beyond the official march route, making them impossible to count. 


French media estimate up to 3 million are taking part, more than the numbers who took to Paris streets when the Allies liberated the city from the Nazis in World War II.
“It’s a different world today,” said Parisian Michel Thiebault, 70. He was among a crowd wildly cheering police as their vans made their way through the crowd — a sound unheard of at the frequent protests held in France, where police and demonstrators are often at odds.

Their arms linked, more than 40 world leaders headed the somber procession, setting aside their differences for a manifestation that French President Francois Hollande said turned the city into “the capital of the world.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood near Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also marched.
Demonstrations were also held in cities around France and around the world.

The deadly attacks on a satirical newspaper, kosher market and police marked a turning point for France that some compared to Sept. 11. 

In the weeks and months ahead, the cruelty will test how attached the French — an estimated 5 million of whom are Muslims — really are to their liberties and to each other.
“Our entire country will rise up toward something better,” Hollande said.

The aftermath of the attacks remained raw, with video emerging of one of the gunmen killed during police raids pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group and detailing how the attacks were going to unfold. 

Also, a new shooting was linked to that gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, who was killed Friday along with the brothers behind a massacre at satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in nearly simultaneous raids by security forces.

Mahmoud Abbas at the Paris Rally..... Is this sick or what?

by Koby Gould (guest reporter)

I am very uncomfortable seeing Mahmoud Abbas in Paris with President Hollande today - 

I appreciate that he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't, that if he hadn't gone, he'd have been accused of not giving a damn about what happened.
 but seeing Abbas, a hypocritical, duplicitous man, at the anti racist, anti - antisemitic, anti terrorist, pro democracy, pro human/civil rights rally, it sickens me!! He is part of the problem, NOT part of the solution! His partner, out of choice, is Hamas!! 

The values which the rally reflect, democracy and freedom, human and civil rights, Rule of Law, values which those at the rally hold dear and espouse, they are NOT values espoused by Mahmoud Abbas. He and Hamas oversee the opposite value system in Judea/Samaria and Gaza. The man has a disgusting history of Holocaust denial/revisionism and that alone makes him wholly unwelcome. He's the President of the PA and, as such, I believe that Israel should maintain lines of communication and relations with him but I find his presence at the rally abhorrent. 

That said, I'm not 100% sure if I'm right. He has a choice, either to attend the rally or not to attend and as not attending would send out a very negative and counter productive signal, I guess he has to attend. 

I believe in the old adage, that one makes peace with one's enemies, not with one's friends and, in that respect, however we feel about Mahmoud Abbas, it's better for Israel to talk to the PA, even with his leadership and in partnership with Hamas, that to cut off all communications. Following on from that, if the organizers of the Paris rally were to disenfranchise Abbas, it would defeat the purpose somewhat, that purpose being to bring people together.

I guess that, as one who believes in keeping open lines of communication between Israel and the PA, as one who won't let go of hope, as one who does NOT look at the issue as Islam against the rest of the world but as radical, extremist Islam (and is that even Islam?) against the rest of the world, I have to be ok with Mahmoud Abbas attending the rally. I believe in talking, discussing, opening doors, keeping them open and I guess that has to extend to accepting the presence of Mahmoud Abbas at the Paris rally.

New York Times Edits Paris Story to Avoid Muslim Backlash?

When Islamic terrorists expressly tell their victims why they’re being attacked, our mainstream media will do anything to cover it up. They’ll change the subject, they’ll blame the victims… they’ll even stealth-edit their own copy.
Here’s the latest example of the New York Times censoring itself to avoid offending Muslims after an act of Islamic terror. 
This morning, BenK at Ace of Spades quoted an NYT story by Liz Alderman titled “Survivors Retrace a Scene of Horror at Charlie Hebdo.” Take note of these two paragraphs from that story:
Sigolène Vinson, a freelancer who had decided to come in that morning to take part in the meeting, thought she would be killed when one of the men approached her.
Instead, she told French news media, the man said, “I’m not going to kill you because you’re a woman, we don’t kill women, but you must convert to Islam, read the Quran and cover yourself,” she recalled.
I was intrigued by this quote, and it seemed worth exploring, so I went to the NYT story to quote it. But guess what?
Sigolène Vinson, a freelance journalist who had come in that morning to take part in the meeting, said that when the shooting started, she thought she would be killed.
Ms. Vinson said in an interview that she dropped to the floor and crawled down the hall to hide behind a partition, but one of the gunmen spotted her and grabbed her by the arm, pointing his gun at her head. Instead of pulling the trigger, though, he told her she would not be killed because she was a woman.
“Don’t be afraid, calm down, I won’t kill you,” the gunman told her in a steady voice, with a calm look in his eyes, she recalled. “You are a woman. But think about what you’re doing. It’s not right.”
Nothing about telling her to convert to Islam. Nothing about telling her to read the Quran. Nothing about telling her to cover her face.
Nothing about the very reason these animals did this.
So, imagine yourself as an NYT editor for a moment, if you can withstand the nausea. Why would you specifically take out the part about the Islamic terrorist proselytizing for Islam in the middle of the terrorist attack? Why delete this woman’s account of being threatened at gunpoint and being told to convert to Islam?
That’s easy. Because you’re one of America’s moral, ethical, and intellectual betters, and you don’t want it to be true. Your reporter hastily left that inconvenient truth in her story by accident, so you airbrushed it out, without any acknowledgment, to preserve the narrative. You turned it into, “Hey, maybe these guys aren’t so bad after all. They didn’t kill the women, right? Let’s not be too hasty.”
Because that’s your job.
The New York Times is a disgrace.
