Hundreds of thousands more Israelis okayed to carry guns

More than half a million Israelis have become eligible to receive gun permits under a major reform of the country’s firearms rules, with the stated goal of improving the immediate response to terror attacks.

Under the new rules, which went into effect immediately upon being announced Monday, hundreds of thousands of veterans of the IDF’s infantry units will be eligible for gun permits, along with police officers who received the equivalent training.

Additionally, army officers ranked first lieutenant or higher, as well as non-commissioned officers ranked first sergeant or higher, who carried a weapon during their military service will no longer be required to return their guns and permits when they are discharged from reserve service, and will be allowed to ask to keep carrying them.

Volunteers in certain police units and in medical organizations Magen David Adom, ZAKA and Hatzalah will also be eligible to receive permits.

The reform was unveiled by Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, who has pushed for allowing more Israelis to arm themselves as a response to terror attacks.

Under the old rules, Israelis had to prove a need for the firearms, such as living or working in an area considered dangerous, and undergo regular testing and training.

Under the loosened directives, individuals who have been in continuous possession of a firearm permit for 10 years will now be allowed to keep the permit indefinitely, without undergoing periodic tests to prove they still match the requirements.

Indictment Filed Against Chareidi Woman Who Injected Her Children With Insulin To Get Welfare

A Ramat Shlomo Chareidie mother who was  accused of injecting her ten children with insulin to mimic signs of diabetes to defraud Bituach Leumi into paying them money monthly, was indicted.

The Jerusalem prosecutor has moved ahead with a criminal indictment against the 30-year-old mother, including charges of abuse of her children. The indictment was filed in the Jerusalem District Court.

One of the children, 18-months-old, who was hospitalized in Shaare Zedek Hospital in the capital, reportedly sustained irreversible brain damage as a result of the insulin shots.

The clueless father of the children denies the allegations against his wife, calling them “baseless”.

4 Belzer Chassidim Graduate Israeli Law School ... Chareidim Furious!

Four brave Belzer Chassidim graduated as lawyers with the blessings of the Belzer Rebbe. 

The Litvisher "velt" and a couple of unemployed Meah Shearim leidegeirs are rattled; concerned that this may become a trend, that Frum Chassidishe Yungeleit will now finally provide for their families and be legal advocates for their respective communities.

 They are upset because these "new" ideas may infiltrate their "no working" cocoon and are concerned that this will encourage more  Chareidim to  break this vicious chain of doing nothing while being supported by their hard working wives .. and learn a trade (Chas Ve' Sholem). 

This monumental achievement is a great threat to the Roshei Yeshivas that depend on their students to hang around until the students are well into their sixties.
Kudos to the Belzer Rebbe!

Dozens of Charedim participated last week in the Ono Academic College campus graduation ceremony.

The ceremony was held at the Performing Arts Center in Ashdod, where graduates were awarded diplomas, including four Belz hassidim from Ashdod who were certified as lawyers.

Later, pictures of the four hasidim with the traditional lawyers' cloak were distributed.

The sight aroused loathing among members of the "Jerusalem Faction" and some Meah She'arim residents who bitterly attacked the Belz hasidim for what they call "academic apostasy (shmad)".

"Appalling! The heretical picture that's shaking the Jewish world!", one wrote. "Four Belz Hasidim at a ceremony for awarding academic degrees to the wretched haredi fallen in Ono Academic College. During the ceremony the fallen wore a uniform reminiscent of Christian priests - a black robe and a black four-cornered hat.

"For the occasion, four Belz chassidim proudly took part in the ceremony, whose beards and sidelocks and even the hasidic shoes and special socks attested to their hasidic affiliation, but the Samet hat and jacket with the gartel that Belzers don't remove for a moment throughout the day, they traded for disgusting garments and were smilingly photographed at the conversion ceremony, G-d forbid, as they hold the academic certificate, with a secular student from the academy standing among them.

"In the Jewish world the images aroused tremendous shock and great pain, despite the fact that from time to time pictures of haredi Jews from all communities and circles are published participating in these gentile ceremonies. But the combination of the blatant Belzer look together with the contemptible academic uniform worn by those fallen who dared to publish their shameful picture and lower everyone's morale just shows the rift and decay taking place in communities and circles within the haredi public."

The writers criticized the Belzer Rebbe for allowing the new lawyers to go to the college. 

"Two of those fallen opened a law firm in the summer and the ceremony was attended by senior Belz rabbis, who had previously received the Rebbe's blessing. It should be noted that at the inauguration of their office they appeared in full hasidic garb, including the famous Belzer gartel, under which they hide the deep rot they absorbed in college and academia."

Dead Suspects In Orthodox Jewish Father's Death Called Reclusive, Paranoid

Two adult brothers suspected of being involved in the fatal shooting of their physician father before turning guns on themselves during a SWAT standoff were reclusive, paranoid and likely mentally ill, a suburban Cleveland police chief said.

Authorities have said Richard Warn, 59, was found shot multiple times Aug. 9 by police officers at his home in the upscale suburb of Beachwood last week after his wife reported she couldn’t get inside upon her return from a European vacation. Warn had flown with his wife to Newark, New Jersey, for an overseas connection but then decided not to travel because of motion sickness and drove home in a rental car.

CNN Intimidating Paul Manafort Jury?

CNN is being accused of attempting to intimidate the Paul Manafort jury after the far-left cable channel (and six other anti-Trump outlets) requested the jurors’ names and home addresses.

Manafort, who worked for a short time as President Trump’s campaign chairman during the 2016 presidential election, has been charged by special counsel Robert Mueller with various financial crimes, none of which have anything to do with Trump or the campaign.

Manafort’s fate now sits with the jury, and after two days of deliberations, anti-Trump media outlets like CNN are becoming concerned Manafort could be acquitted, which would be a major blow to Mueller’s credibility and his ability to remove Trump from office — an outcome the establishment media are desperate to orchestrate.

And so, on Thursday, CNN, along with six other far-left media outlets (the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Politico, the New York Times, NBC, and the AP) sued for the release of the names and home addresses of all of the Manafort jurors, a move that is both disturbing and almost unprecedented.

As Bre Payton at the Federalist points out, “Publicly outing the names and home addresses of jurors is considered ethically questionable, as outlined in this guidance sheet on the topic from the Reporter’s Committee for Freedom of the Press.”

To begin with, it is seen as unseemly to thrust jurors into the spotlight against their will when they are not volunteering for publicity; they are chosen.

What many see here, and not without precedent, is yet another attempt by the media, most especially CNN, to bully and intimidate private, everyday citizens into convicting Manafort.

SHOCKING: Jeremy Corbyn Met With Mastermind of Har Nof Shul Massacre Weeks Before Attack

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the UK’s Labour Party, met with the leader-in-exile of a Palestinian terror group just weeks before its members carried out a horrific attack on a Shul in Har Nof, Jerusalem in which five people were killed.

The Times of London published a picture of Corbyn standing next to Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) chief Maher al Taher at the now-infamous wreath-laying ceremony in Tunisia for the Palestinian ‘Black September’ terrorists who took part in the 1972 massacre of 11 Israelis at the Munich Olympics.

One month after the ceremony in which Mr Corbyn and Mr al-Taher stood side by side, the PFLP sent terrorists into a Jerusalem synagogue where they murdered four Rabbis and a Druze police officer. 

Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, 50, Rabbi Moshe Twersky, 59, Rabbi Kalman Levine, 50, and Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky, 40, were all hacked to death with axes by two PFLP terrorists while they were davening Shachris. 

The defenseless men’s corpses were found hacked and bloodied on the floor of the Shul, some of them covering their faces with their prayer shawls to avoid watching the slaughter of their friends. All of the men lived on the same street in a tight-knit community and Rabbi Goldberg was a British citizen. The PFLP terrorists also murdered Druze police officer Zidan Saif, 30, who rushed to the scene and put himself in harm’s way to stop the PFLP terrorists’ attack.
