Auerbach Crazy Bouchrim Now Threaten Protest At Ben-Gurion Airport


The Peleg faction, led by Shmulie Auerbach, continues threats of protest, this time Ben-Gurion International Airport towards interrupting pre-Pesach airport traffic. 

The notice says in response to authorities stepping up activities, they will protest so they are heard around the world including in the area of the airport where tourists arriving and leaving Israel will see it and report it. They will carry signs in English and other languages too.

Due to the heavy airport traffic expected ahead of Pesach when the protest will take place, persons are advised to check regarding flight schedules to determine if there are changes.

It concludes that if the advanced notification will result in a hostile response that will prevent protesting, future events will be held without prior notification, which means the public and police will not be alerted ahead of events.

Borough Park Pervert Arrested After Targeting Boys In Stolin Shul

I feel like our children aren't safe anywhere

A Borough Park resident who made allegedly suggestive comments to three young boys was arrested Thursday night and charged with three counts of acting in a manner injurious to a child.

Police said that 59 year old Menachem Tyk of 1415 47th Street reportedly left notes in the tefillin bags of two boys while they were davening at Congregation Aron V’Yisroel Stolin on 16th Avenue over the past two weeks, and made direct comments to a third.

In the first incident, which took place on March 19th, Tyk allegedly left a note for a 15 year old boy, that read “Please call me. It’s very important.”
The note also included Tyk’s phone number.
When the teen called the phone number a voice said, “I like the way you daven.  Meet me at my house.”
A 13 year old boy told police that the note that he received on March 24th had Tyk’s phone number and the words “Call me. It’s important.”  When the boy placed the call the person who answered asked him if he “touched himself” and then hung up.

And a 14 year old boy reported that Tyk approached him three times while at the synagogue on March 26th and invited him back to his home.  Tyk reportedly told the boy he would remove his clothing and “pet him everywhere.”
Tyk, a known figure at the Bobov and Emunas Yisroel synagogues in Borough Park, was arrested and arraigned on Thursday night.
He has two prior arrests:  one in 1986 for patronizing a prostitute and a second in 1988 for assault and criminal possession of a 
weapon.
Tyk lives alone and at least one neighbor seemed surprised by his arrest, as reported by The Daily News (http://nydn.us/2nDfyer).
“I would never believe he was a child molester,” said Zissy Twersky. “He talks to all the boys in the building, but nothing more than a friendly hello.”

Child Molestation and Calling for the Murder of Fellow Jews by Chareidim


It is nothing new that certain elements among our fellow Jews want to have nothing to do with the draft into the IDF. 

They have found multiple ways to show their displeasure and, in doing so, to disrupt the public thoroughfares , cause severe damage to public property, inflict bodily harm on security personnel and other actions–all in the name of G-d.

A subset of this population  is a group of fringe elements, who have now gone even further, beyond any terrible actions to date. 

Carrying signs that declare that one must resist the draft to the point of יהרג ואל יעבור (better to choose death than to “transgress”), this group (known as the Jerusalem Faction, among others) has decided that drafting into the IDF is akin to the three sins for which one must forfeit his\her life: Idolatry, murder and immorality.

If that was “all” that they did, then, Dayenu…but wait, there’s more!

Public declarations from these individuals have been made, in the name of Jerusalem Faction leader Shmuel Auerbach, to resist enlistment “until the last drop of blood.” If that phrase sounds familiar, it should. It is nearly the very same words used by our mortal enemies, Hamas, the PA, etc. They,too, call for defending Al Aksa “until the last drop of blood.” So, apparently, this whole draft issue is worth bloodshed OF FELLOW JEWS!

And if that was “all” they did, Dayenu…but wait, there’s more!

Leaflets calling for the death of Maj. Yaakov Roshi were strewn outside of his parents’ house in Petach Tikva, representing an escalation in the campaign of harassment and intimidation against haredi soldiers and their recruiters, the Behadrei Haredim Hebrew news site reported.

These leaflets were left outside of the house with the phrase, “G-d will break the arm of the wicked,” and calling Roshi and his colleagues “hunters of souls.”
“Therefore, the great Torah scholars instructed that one should do the same as our forefathers did when a wicked person rose up against them, to cry to the Creator of the world that He should spare and comfort us and remove sins from the earth,” the letter continued.

“And in all places, they will pray that the memory of his name will be in disgrace, Yaakov Menachem Ben Naomi, and they will say about him what is written in Psalms, Chapters 10 and 109, about the loss of the wicked, and the Lord will hear our prayers and save us from the wicked Yaakov Roshi, may his name and memory be blotted out,” the letter concluded.

The prayer that an individual’s name and memory be blotted out is reserved by normative religious Jews for perpetrators of genocide against the Jewish people, such as Haman and Hitler. 

According toBeHadrei Haredim, a haredi news site, the prayer for the death of a fellow Jew crossed a new red line and showed that “anything goes” in the fight against enlistment. (Arutz-7)

And if that was “all” that there was to report, then, Dayenu. But wait…yes, sadly, there is much more!

On Monday, thanks to an ongoing undercover investigation, the Israel Police arrested more than 20 Jewish ultra-Orthodox men as suspected sex offenders whose alleged crimes were known to their insular communities but concealed from the authorities.

The twenty-two men, aged 20 to 60 and from communities in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Beit Shemesh and  Beitar Ilit, allegedly committed sex crimes against women, youths and children from their communities over the past two years, police said. (Ynet)

Another horrific case of a community protecting pedophiles, rapists and those who prey on women and children. Once again, the police expose communities with a mindset that one must sweep under the rug all the dirty little secrets; a mindset that protects the vermin of society, while prolonging the agony and pain of the victims.

And this is the part where some of my readers begin to chant: “Haredi basher!” And I say to all who declare that: GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND! I don’t care if the ones saying these things and doing these things are Dati LeUmi, Reform, Conservative or have nose rings and belly button piercings: 
CALLING FOR THE MURDER OF FELLOW JEWS AND ENCOURAGING THE ENDANGERMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN crosses every single red line that Judaism stands for.

No, these are not the acts of “Haredim.” These are acts of the lowest stratum of society. 

If I am bashing anyone, it is the leaders who say nothing; who protect the abusers; who encourage their followers to murder (yes, MURDER Jews). 

I am bashing every one of those who carry signs that going into the IDF is an issue of יהרג ואל יעבור.  To say that the actions of these people reflects all of Haredi society is merely a statement of ignorance.

Why do we accept this? 

Why do we not have massive counter-demonstrations against such horrific behavior?

 Why do we allow our Judaism to be hijacked by hooligans, miscreants, misfits and ne’er-do-wells?

While this post can be much longer, I will stop here, as I believe I have made my point.
The next step? Suggestions…ideas…actions?

Frum Meshiginer Claiming to be Moshiach Walks Around With His Wife's Decapitated Head in Teveria Gives New Meaning to "Burning the Chumetz"

Murder Scene

A man was arrested on suspicion of decapitating his ex-wife and burning the body on Wednesday in the northern town of Tiberias. According to eyewitnesses who spoke with Hebrew media, the man was seen walking in the street holding the victim's head. 


Police said they found the victim in her 30s burnt and headless in an apartment that was engulfed in flames on Nachmani Street in Tiberias.

The incident occurred at approximately 12 p.m. when police were alerted to a man walking in the streets with his clothes stained in blood and an apartment fire. The suspect was arrested shortly after police arrived to the scene.

An eyewitness told The Jerusalem Post's sister publication Maariv, that the man was seen in the street covered in blood and only later did they understand that he was apparently holding the woman’s head. “A young ultra-Orthodox man was walking around the street with his wife's head in his hands, covered in blood. No one understood what was going on and why he had so much blood on him. Only later did they realize he was holding the woman’s head.”

Maariv also reported that the man previously claimed he was the Messiah and visited a psychiatrist, who said he was not a public danger. 


Large police forces responded to the scene, located the suspect and then found the woman’s body in the apartment after firefighters were able to subdue the apartment fire. According to police the couple has no children.

“At 12:13 p.m. the MDA was informed about a dead woman with severe signs of violence. Paramedics determined the death of a woman in her 30s,” the Magen David Adom said in a statement.

Police are still investigating the incident and a gag order was placed on all details of the investigation and details of the suspect and the victim.
