Michael Insel 8th Grade Yeshiva Bochur Lectures Obama on Capitol Hill about the Threat of ISIS


14-year-old Michael Insel was fed up with reading the daily headlines about Israel’s never ending fight with terror.The delay in the president’s response to the murder of Ezra Schwartz Hy”d, however, was the impetus that caused the yeshiva bochur from Baltimore to write a letter to the US president.
Michael wrote the letter about a month ago. His proud mother posted the letter on her Facebook page to share with friends and family.
Eli Gold, Vice President of the London Center for Policy Research, saw the letter and felt compelled to share this with an even larger audience.
Gold, who runs a defense meeting on Capitol Hill once a month, invited Michael to come along to read his letter at Capitol Hill and to discuss his point of view of what he thinks should be changed.
Michael was very excited to seize the opportunity presented by Gold as he has always desired to take up a career in politics.
Michael subsequently spoke at the meeting this past Sunday and after that he was invited to further discuss U.S.-Israel relations with Congressman Trent Franks.
He has since started a petition at change.org – Click here to sign
Below is the letter in it’s entirety:
My name is Michael (מיכאל) Insel (אינזעל). I am an 8th grade student at Talmudical Academy of Baltimore (TA).
I am writing to you today about my concern for the security of ISRAEL. I feel that your administration has not done all in its power to help the state of Israel at this time. How could you stand by and not properly condemn the murder of an 18 year old American boy who was killed while bringing food to soldiers fighting terrorism in the streets?
When France was has hit with devastating terrorist attacks you held an hour long press conference with President Hollande. You stated “we are all French now”. When 3 innocent teenage boys in Israel were killed, were we all Israeli? Was the Washington arch in NY the colors of the Israeli flag? Was the 408 foot tall spire on top of one world trade center the colors of the Israeli flag?
NO they were NOT!!! Mr. President- we have a saying in hebrew “״ נושא בעול חבירו which means “Every man can carry another man’s burden”.
Before a monday night football game between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills something extraordinary happened. For the first time since the Munich massacre in 1972 a murdered Jew was remembered with a moment of silence.
This was done by 80,000 people at the stadium and 16 million people at home. This brings me back to my original point of “ Every man can carry another man’s burden”. That night 1 and a half days of cumulative morning was observed in just the stadium alone.
If the Jewish people have to reach out to an owner of a football team to get a moment of silence for a murdered American jew , before the president of our country appropriately condemns it, we have a problem !!
Also, I am disappointed in your handling of ISIS. You have yet to call them what they are “Radical Islamic Extremists”. You simply call them “killers with good social media ”. I can tell you that they are a heck of a lot more than that!! Just this month ISIS has:
Blown up a Russian plane killing all 224 passengers
Brutally murdered 128 in the Paris attacks
Carried out countless beheadings of Americans and others
Killed and continues to kill hundreds a day in Syria and Iraq
Inspired the San Bernardino attacks killing 14
They are more than just merely “killers with good social media”! These are Radical Islamic extremists!!! These people must be stopped at all costs before more innocent blood is spilled.
President Obama, I hope my letter has found you well. All I ask of you is that you support Israel and the Jewish people and you put an end to all the madness of terrorism. Let’s go back to the days where the bond between our great nations was unbreakable!!

Jew-Hating Costco Employee Goes On Anti-Semitic Rant While At Work Video

Social media was abuzz on Tuesday afternoon, as a video of a Costco employee going on an anti-semitic rant was going viral. The video surfaced on the Internet in the past 24 hours, and may have been at the Costco store in the San Francisco Bay Area.
On the video-hosting website LiveLeak, the following was written along with the video:
This offended shopper states, “I struck up a conversation with a Jewish guy in Costco in front of the Vitamox Blender Demonstration, when an employee interrupted to tell us that Jews need to go back where they came from. I asked her how that would be possible after what happened in WWII. She responded that Hitler never did anything wrong to the Jews and that they brought it on themselves.”
The Costco employee said “Jews do not belong in Israel. It’s a Palestinian Country. They should go back to where they started.”
When asked “where the Jews started”, the women replied “Europe”.

It is interesting to note, that she is not the first female anti-Semite to say that Jews should “go back to where they came from – Europe”. 

The last one to say that was the world famous Jew-hating white house reporter Helen Thomas. The 92-year-old Thomas died in 2013 just three years after making her outrageous remarks.

Thomas was in good company, after Hamas issued a statement praising her remarks.

Three days after her remarks were publicized, she was forced to retire.

Walcott throws Jewish Children in Monsey Under The Bus

The vast majority of children living in East Ramapo are Jewish. The Jewish population in East Ramapo is exploding with new developments with new residents  paying humongous property taxes. The majority of the property taxes are school taxes.
So its natural that parents of Non-Public School kids that  are paying taxes want to vote in their own board, to make sure that the majority is well represented. 
But the anti-Semites whose children pay zero in school taxes don't want Jews running the board that got elected in a democratic election!
So they came up with a scheme that would allow a monitor that would have veto power to oversee the board, in effect disqualifying an election!
What good is it to have an election and then appoint a monitor that has veto power....??????????
Crazy isn't it?
Not if you are an immigrant that snuck thru the boarders and attends a school in East Ramapo, .... then what you do is .....throw out the votes of the Jews by appointing a monitor and have the Jews pay the salaries  of the staff anyway thru property taxes! ...
The East Ramapo school board said it’s “surprised” that a state panel is recommending a monitor with veto power to oversee the school board, saying that had not been part of the discussions.
Yehuda Weissmandl, the board’s president, said the board has “worked diligently over the last year” to improve the troubled district and believed that it and the panel’s leader, Dennis Walcott, were on the same page.
“We had begun to work together. We were building a consensus for action on underlying problems,” Weissmandl said in a statement.
“We are surprised because Mr. Walcott, who spent a great deal of time with us in recent weeks, spoke to these very issues and seemed intent on avoiding a repeat of the past.
“The final report to the Regents, however, went in a different direction.”
Walcott’s group made 19 recommendations Monday to the state Board of Regents on way to improve the Rockland County district, but the key ones will need state legislative approval.
Earlier this year, the state Legislature reached an impasse over giving a state monitor veto power over the board.
But that was Walcott’s top recommendation Monday. He said he was confident that the Legislature would come around; Senate Republicans have opposed giving a monitor such broad power.
“We are serious about working with the board and SED and pursuing the legislation that’s required,” Walcott told the board. “We think as a result of this package, the district will be a lot healthier in serving the students of the district.”
But Weissmandl said the push for a monitor would only tear open the wounds that the sides have tried to close as they fight over the resources for public and private-school students.
“These proposals are likely to reprise the divisions and strife we saw in the district last year,” his statement continued. “This is indeed unfortunate because we had begun the process of reconciliation in East Ramapo.”
He added, “What we need in East Ramapo is a laser focus on the needs of children and reconciliation as a community and improved cooperation at all levels. As we always have, we will continue to work diligently toward these goals.”

"INS'ALLAH!": OBAMA PERVERTS CHANUKAH PARTY ATTACKS ISLAMOPHOBIA, CALLS FOR "JUSTICE" FOR PALESTINIANS

OBAMA’S DISGRACEFUL CHANUKAH PARTY 

Ugly duckling Susan Talve, the farikta beheimeh

"I stand here to light these lights to say no the darkness of Islamophobia"

Rivlin smiling with the Alteh Katchke Susan Talve

If this account of the White House Hanukkah party is accurate, then President Obama’s politicization of everything has reached a new low. 
According to Daniel Greenfield:
Obama’s own remarks were boilerplate inoffensive stuff. Israel’s President Rivlin, a political hack who desperately sucks up to the media, was equally insipid.
But the White House chose Susan Talve to light the Menorah. Talve is a member of the anti-Israel group T’ruah which is currently promoting assorted “soft BDS” programs. She’s also a Ferguson activist. Her behavior was deeply insulting to the religious Jewish community and made it clear that the White House was determined to hijack even a Chanukah party to promote an anti-Jewish agenda.
How so? Greenfield explains:
Talve. . .seemed determined to jam as many leftist talking points as possible in her limited time. Instead of talking about Chanukah, Talve blathered on about getting, “guns off our streets” and to “clean up the fires of toxic nuclear waste”.
Talve screeched, “I stand here with my fierce family of clergy and black lives matter activists who took to the streets of Ferguson”.
Next Talve turned to the Middle East:
Chanukah is a celebration of the Maccabees defeating a Syrian occupation, but Talve may not even know that. Radical clergy tend to be light on the religion and heavy on the social justice.
Instead she rambled on about how the “gates of this nation would stay open for all immigrants and all refugees”.
Then, not satisfied with having made a disgrace of the Chanukah ceremony, Susan Talve declared, “I stand here to light these lights to say no the darkness of Islamophobia and Homophobia and Transphobia.”
Talve babbled about insuring “justice for Palestinians” and began gleefully chanting, “Ins’Allah, Ins’Allah”. Or “Allah Willing”.
I don’t recall Susan Talve mentioning G-d or a word of Jewish scripture. Indeed she spent more time talking about Muslims than about anything in Judaism. And yet that’s typical for Social justice clergy who have no organic ties to Judaism.
Talve’s position on these matters is well known, as is her outspokenness. Team Obama had to know, or strongly suspect, that Talve would deliver remarks like these. Presumably, that’s why it selected her.
If Greenfield’s account is accurate, it makes me wonder whether Obama has much use for Jews other than as cheerleaders for his “social justice” agenda — in other words, left liberalism.

I should note, however, that it was Israel’s president, who first said “Ins’Allah,” after Talve talked about justice for the Palestinians. Talve then repeated it several times.
The Israeli president looked towards President Obama as he said this, thus living up to Greenfield’s description of him as a “suck up.”
Israeli Jews live among Arabs, and I have heard them say “Ins’Allah.” I wouldn’t have expected to hear it during a Jewish religious ceremony, but the White House event turned into more of a political event than a religious one.

Happy Chanukah From CNN: Host Says “Let’s Ban Jews From USA”

ashleighbanfieldcnn

By Debbie Schlussel

CNN Wishes You a Sieg Heil Chanukah
A CNN host wants all Jews deported from America, and she picked the Jewish holiday of Chanukah to announce it. Oh, and she still has her job.
Ashleigh Banfield, the moronic Canadian far-left host at the Crescent News Network (also, the Coran News Network), announced that Jews are worse than Muslims and have committed, in her opinion, more terrorism in American than Muslims.
 So, she wants all Jews banned from America. Oh, and for these alleged “Jewish terrorist acts,” Banfield goes back a few decades to the 1980s, just like Barack Obama and other liberals go back several centuries to whine about the Crusades (which were a response to Muslim crusades that are, strangely, never mentioned).
I’m sick and tired of the comparison of Jews to Muslims. As I’ve noted many times over the years on this site and on my social media outlets, when Jews fly planes into buildings, shoot up Fort Hood, try to blow up planes with their underwear, try to blow up Times Square and shoot up Fort Dix, openly proclaim through their chosen American leadership that they wish to replace the Constitution with the koran, then you can legitimately talk about deporting us. But, for now, there’s only one group doing all of these things exclusively: Muslims.
And, by the way, why is this dumb bitch still on the air? Aside from her Nazi-esque call on Chanukah to deport Jews–which itself should have ended her career forever–she’s been a repeat failure on the air, whether it was at ABC, CNN, or any of the many other news outlets that have given her more than the proverbial nine lives. Oh, and by the way, this idiotette wore pants to her wedding. Yup, she literally wears the pants in that marriage . . . and the testicles. Only a guy with none would end up with this uber-ugly Eva Braun.
Some of the examples Banfield cites are absolute BS and were never adjudicated. The JDL member who was in jail for allegedly attempting to bomb a mosque and Darrell Issa’s offices was never tried. He was murdered in jail while awaiting trial. And there was NO evidence he was going to bomb Issa or a mosque. He only openly said he hated a particular mosque and Issa and wanted to bring them down, after reading a column I wrote on Issa’s pan-jihadist affiliations (Issa is endorsing Marco Rubio Boobio for Prez, by the way). There was never any evidence of any attempt at violence and the man never had a history of any violence. And there was a lot of evidence that Issa and his then-chief-of-staff agitated the JDL guy in order to make me look bad. Issa has long tried to shut me down and shut up my columns exposing his jihad-enabling activity, to the point that he used federal tax dollars to put together a laughable “dossier” on me, which he sent to David Horowitz.
Jews are not and never have been a threat to America’s existence. Muslims are. Jews have been a part of America every step of the way, from its founding, fighting in every single war, including the Revolutionary War. We’ve made America better. Muslims have not only made it worse. They want to replace it with a caliphate and our Constitution with the koran and shariah. Their own chosen leadership has said so repeatedly. Why won’t we believe ’em? Why doesn’t Ashleigh Banfield have a clue? She’s a bleeping shrieking moron.
Oh, and by the way, John Pistole, the “real venerable guy,” Banfield quotes is the incompetent former TSA chief under whose “leadership,” TSA missed 99% of fake bombs slipped through airport security. Federal Air Marshals hated him because he was a doofus who risked their lives. Well, now we know why he was such a failure: he was too busy focusing on “The Terrorist Jews” apparently.
We need to ban all Canadian dumb bitches from America and its cable channels, and we’ll be a whole lot better. And this moronette needs to be treated to the Lara Logan Tahrir Square Experience.
To my fellow Jewish Americans, Happy Chanukah from CNN and Ashleigh Braun-field.
***
By the way, since Banfield made the dumbass comparison a lot of idiot liberals have been making between Jews and Muslims, how many Christmas songs can you name that were written and/or composed by Muslims?
Infidels Roasting on an Open Fire?
[“The Christmas Song” a/k/a “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire,” written by Jewish American Mel Torme is one of many Christmas songs we Jews wrote.]

Does a Relic discovered by archaeologists from Jerusalem’s Temple Mount prove Chabad Menorah design correct?

a Thousand year old potsherd from the Temple Mount bearing a symbol resembling a menorah may shed invaluable light on a centuries-old debate regarding the menorah’s original design, a noted archaeologist announced on Thursday.
The relic was recently discovered at the Temple Mount Sifting Project in Jerusalem, which sifts through the thousands of tons of ancient debris illegally discarded from the contested holy site by the Islamic Wakf in 1999.

Although archaeologist Zachi Dvira, co-founder and director of the project, could not see the entire design of the broken sherd, he said that it likely represented an attempt to draw the Temple’s menorah.

“Based on its clay type and texture, the potsherd dates to the period of Byzantine rule over Jerusalem, from 324 to 640 CE,” said Dvira.

“What makes this discovery significant is that it originated upon the Temple Mount itself. The design of the menorah inscribed on the potsherd may shed light on an age-old debate regarding the appearance of the menorah that stood in the Heikal (hall) of the First and Second Temples.”

According to Dvira, the origins for the design of the menorah can be found in the Book of Exodus (25:32-40), which states:

“And you shall make a menorah of pure gold. The menorah shall be made of hammered work; its base and its stem, its goblets, its knobs, and its flowers shall all be one piece with it. And six branches coming out of its sides: three menorah branches from its one side and three menorah branches from its second side… so for the six branches that come out of the menorah… And you shall make its lamps seven…”

Still, the Biblical passage does not provide any indication as to whether the branches of the menorah were meant to be round or straight, leading to a protracted debate among leading rabbinic scholars, including Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki – Rashi (1040-1105), Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra (1089-1167), and Maimonides (1135-1204).

“Upon the potsherd, the furthermost left branch of what appears to be a menorah cannot be fully seen due to the fracture at that side,” explained Dvira.

“The base of the menorah can partly be seen, and was probably composed of three legs; two angular and one straight. At the top, one sees that the branches are polygonal depressions which may represent the almond shaped cups that held the oil for the wicks.”

The branches on the engraving are straight, unlike other ancient representations of the menorah from antiquity, where they appear in a circular fashion, he noted, which may be due to the fact that “it is very difficult to create circular lines when engraving a potsherd.”

“As the potsherd dates to centuries after the destruction of the Second Temple, and the incision was done after firing the clay, it is difficult to deduce from it anything concrete regarding the original shape of the menorah,” Dvira said.

“But, we can learn about how Jews living in Jerusalem during the Byzantine period, or later, understood the design of the menorah.”

The Temple Mount Sifting Project – under the auspices of Bar-Ilan University, and with the support of the City of David Foundation – was created by Dvira and internationally-recognized archaeologist Gabriel Barkay in an effort to reclaim, analyze and document the discarded debris.

“Even now we have new information that may well change the written history of some of the periods of the Temple Mount,” Barkay said of the project.

He added: “The sifting project has proven itself to be an inexhaustible source of knowledge for the research and study of the archaeology and history of the Temple Mount.”

Hillary let Diplomat die in Bengazi


Hillary Clinton's Benghazi house of cards is starting to collapse. It's amazing how this woman will say and do anything to get elected.
That includes trying to throw the Benghazi victims' families under the bus.
Numerous family members have gone on record saying that Hillary told them that a YouTube video was responsible for their loved ones' deaths. She even went so far as to promise the families that the State Department would punish the man responsible for making the video.
All the while, Hillary was emailing her own family members to tell them that the Benghazi attack was pre-planned terrorism.
It’s just despicable. She laughed the allegations off and flat out accused the victims’ families of lying.
How horrible of a person do you have to be to accuse a terror victim’s family of lying? This woman only cares about furthering her career. She doesn’t care how many lives she ruins along the way.
She lied to these families’ faces and told them that a low-budget YouTube caused their loved ones’ deaths.
Now that she was proven to be a liar, she is trying to defame them!
Not only that, but a new email has been released showing that the Department of Defense was ready to launch a response team following the attacks. The Pentagon had “forces that could move to Benghazi” immediately. They just needed the green light from Hillary Clinton.
That approval never came. She let them die.
Hillary never expected to have to defend herself on this. She never expected the truth in these emails to come out. Hillary and her accomplices did everything in their power to withhold these emails from the public.
Here are the facts:
Twenty-seven minutes after Hillary Clinton told the country that a YouTube video was to blame, she emailed family members telling them that it was in fact a terrorist attack.
And while Hillary Clinton was telling the victims’ families that there was nothing they could do, the Department of Defense was shaking its head asking why they were told to stand down…
Hillary Clinton honestly thinks she can lie her way into the White House. She thinks that she can defame terror victims’ families in order to deflect responsibility.
I think that the American people will vote their conscience and stop Hillary from ascending to the White House.
But defeating her in an election isn’t good enough. This woman belongs in prison.
She played politics with Americans’ lives and has defamed terror victims’ families in order to keep her campaign afloat.
She has lied under oath. She unlawfully sent and received more than 1000 classified emails. She must be arrested.
If the Obama administration won’t prosecute her, then that responsibility falls on Congress’ shoulders!
Let's put her away,
Joe Otto
