5 Injured In Ramat Beit Shemesh Bus Crash
Five people were injured on Thursday evening after a bus drove up onto a sidewalk and ran into a lampost on Hayarkon Street in Ramat Beit Shemesh Aleph.
Emergency medical service volunteers from United Hatzalah in Beit Shemesh rushed to the scene and treated those injured in the crash. Among the injured was a young woman who was light-to-moderately injured as well as four other people who sustained light injuries.
Residents of the neighborhood told Israeli media that the accident occurred on a major intersection and has numerous Talmudei Torah and Michlalot nearby and that hundreds of young students walk by that traffic junction every day. “If today had not been Rosh Chodesh when schools get out early, the accident could have had much worse consequences,” the residents said in a Kikar Shabbos Interview.
Chapter head of United Hatzalah in the city David Leff said: “When I arrived at the scene of the accident, I recognized that this was simply a miracle that no one suffered any worse injuries.”

AMERICAN JEWS Join Vicious Anti-Semites To Fight Trump
The Facts Don't Lie!!!
79% of Jewish voters chose Democrats, only 17% supported Republicans. Down nearly 10% in two short, if eventful years.
This may very well cause a backlash amongst Americans, who may blame Jews for all their failings! Hashem Yishmor!!
The only solution is for Frum Organizations like Agudah, the OU etc... to come out publicly, with official statements to refute these "fake" Jews and Leaders!

They plan to conduct hearings on his foreign policy, lead oversight into his administration, subpoena his closest aides, investigate his family and run against him in 2020.
In large numbers, American Jews are becoming the face of a Democratic resistance against US President Donald Trump by assuming critical chairmanships in the House of Representatives and preparing campaigns for the White House.
In large numbers, American Jews are becoming the face of a Democratic resistance against US President Donald Trump by assuming critical chairmanships in the House of Representatives and preparing campaigns for the White House.
They are voting against him in record numbers. In midterm elections on Tuesday, 79% of Jewish voters chose Democrats, according to exit polls conducted by Pew Research Center and CNN. Only 17% supported Republicans– down nearly 10% in two short, if eventful years.
And they are getting elected. Across the country, 28 Jewish Americans were elected or reelected to the House– only two of which are Republicans– and nine to the Senate, just shy of marking record-high Jewish representation on Capitol Hill. Democrats' sole pickup seat from Republicans in the Senate, in Nevada, was Jacky Rosen, formerly president of her synagogue congregation.

What, if anything, does their Judaism have to do with their politics?
Statistics would suggest quite a bit. A majority of American Jews have voted for progressive candidates and causes in elections since at least 1984, when record-keeping began on Jewish voter patterns, and when roughly 7 in 10 community members began reliably voting Democratic– a direct response to a Republican alignment with evangelical Christians that appeared at the time hostile to Jews and their pluralistic values.
French PM Macron Praises Nazi
 |
| Thye Nazi Petain & His Fan Macron |
French Jews have reacted in horror at reports President Emmanuel Macron will honor Marshal Philippe Pétain, the disgraced Nazi collaborator who authorized the deportation of tens of thousands of Jews to death camps.
Marshal Petain’s name appears alongside seven other military chiefs to be honored Saturday in a ceremony at the Invalids monument, site of Napoleon’s tomb, to mark the centenary of the end of World War 1.
Petain led the French army to victory in Verdun in 1916, but gained lasting infamy and a conviction for treason for his leadership of Nazi-sanctioned Vichy France during World War II.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, breaks ribs in fall
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, fell in her office at the court and fractured three ribs, according to a release from the court Thursday.
"She went home, but after experiencing discomfort overnight, went to George Washington University Hospital early this morning," the statement said. "Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment."
Ginsburg's health has been a matter of intense speculation in recent years. Ginsburg, the court's oldest member, is one of the court's four liberal justices. She has survived multiple bouts with cancer, and in 2014 underwent a procedure to have a stent placed in her right coronary artery.
The court said that more information would be provided as it became available.
It is not the first time that Ginsburg has fractured her ribs while on the court. In June 2012, Ginsburg fractured two ribs in a fall and did not disclose the incident to the public until months later.
Fat Nadler Ready To Impeach Trump & Kavanaugh
Ezra "the kapo" Friedlander's best friend Rep. Jerry (fatso) Nadler (D-NY), the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee who is favored to be the next House Judiciary Committee chairman, revealed in a phone conversation that Democrats plan to “
impeach Kavanaugh” and investigate President Donald Trump
for alleged Russian collusion.
The Federalist reported that Fat Nadler was riding an Amtrak Acela train to Washington, DC, Wednesday to meet with his congressional staff and House Judiciary Committee staff when he revealed in a phone call with a friend the details of House Democrats’ plans for the next two years.
“We’ve got to figure out what we’re doing,” he explained on the call before he began discussing House Democrats’ plans to investigate and later impeach Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh for alleged perjury.
Man Wanted For Pulling Wigs Off Orthodox Jewish Women In LA
Los Angeles police are searching for a man suspected of pulling wigs off Orthodox Jewish women in incidents that investigators say are possible hate crimes.
Orthodox Jewish women often wear wigs, scarfs or hats to cover their hair as a symbol of modesty.
Officials Wednesday say an 80-year-old woman had her wig snatched from her head on a North Hollywood street on Sept. 19, which was the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Police say the man then smiled and handed back the wig.
Police say the same day, the man tried to pull the wig from a 36-year-old woman in the same neighborhood and this week, he ripped the wig from a 58-year-old woman and tossed it on the ground.
Police say the man could face charges of battery.
