Why Did Ami Magazine Interview Ehud Olmert an Ex-Con?

Last week, Ami Magazine, touted an "Exclusive" interview that it did with the Former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, the irrelevant ex-con, that served 16 months in prison for fraud and bribery.

Why would a Jewish magazine that caters to the Chareidie market do an interview with a corrupt guy who was hated by the Israeli public?

In May 2007, while PM, Olmert only had an approval rating of 3% ... the lowest of any elected official in the history of the State.

So why take "valuable" space in a "Torah" magazine that constantly boasts the backing of "Daas Torah," and subject its readers to this meaningless interview of an ex-con who is bitter about his life?

I have my reasons ... but first let's read excerpts of some of the questions and answers that I gleaned from the interview!

AMI:
Do you miss politics? 

Olmert:
"That's not my concern, as a private citizen I will continue to raise my voice about issues that concern me,...... Netanyahu's conduct and the direction in which he is leading the country definitely bother me ....
The PM is being investigated for lots of things... There are multiple indictments hanging over his head.... 
etc etc ..

DIN: 
Did you just burst out in laughter? 
Here is a guy that was convicted of accepting 560,000 Shekels while serving as mayor of Yerushalyim...and other crimes that I won't get into...
and he sits there like a Tzaddik and states with a straight face that Netanyahu is "being investigated for a lot of things"

But I have to say that Ami did see the "irony" and follows up on it ....

AMI:
Don't you see the irony of a prime minister who was convicted of corruption attacking a sitting prime minister accused of the same charges?

Olmert:
bla bla bla and then says:
"Although the charges were leveled against me while I was prime minister, I was never accused of doing anything wrong while in office. The investigations were about my activities before I was elected. Netanyahu is accused of misconduct while serving as prime minister" 

DIN:
Here AMI doesn't follow up on this gigantic outrageous lie...

Yes ... it's true that he wasn't charged about any activities while PM but he was charged while being in every other political office he held......
the office of mayor ...the office of finance, the office of Minister of Trade, Industry and Labor. 

Olmert justifies his theft and corruption because he didn't do it while PM ... 

But let's see who Olmert really is ....

In a number of interviews with the international media while PM, Olmert introduced his "Realignment Plan" which basically meant that Israel would withdraw from most if not all of the West Bank...
In it he advocated for a Palestinian State and wanted to "share" Jerusalem with the Palestinians.

He was all for evacuating Kush Katif and for totally leaving Gaza ,,,which as we all know was and is a total disaster.
and tells Ami ... that
"Yes, there are still rockets coming from Gaza but there are much fewer casualties even with the recent escalation...."
He doesn't mention that over 800 rockets in a 24 hour period landed in Israel just a week before the interview and that over a million Israelis ... women and children had to make it to a shelter within 45 seconds.

Olmert when asked about Trump's moving the embassy to Jerusalem sounds like a dumb Satmerer stating:

"How has this made a difference to the status of Jerusalem or our standing in the world"

Ami doesn't challenge him on this outrageous remark and doesn't tell him that this was a very important move in light of the fact that the UN passed a resolution, that the Jews have no historic claim to Jerusalem!

Olmert like the naive Satmarers, makes light of the fact that Trump cancelled the nuclear arms agreement with Iran, stating:

"And what of it? In my opinion, Iran isn't an existential problem with the State of Israel"

In addition, Olmert makes nothing of the fact that Trump brought about American recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, stating:

"With all due respect, I don't see these as achievements. President Trump's recognition of the annexation of the Golan Heights doesn't change their status or our situation"

Olmert, the thief, blabbers on and on ...

So what possessed  Frankfurter to see fit to print 10 pages to this crazed and incoherent interview?

I have the answer..... here goes...
Olmert's view of Israel is the same view as the "clown"  Frankfurter!
To give back parts of the Holy Land to the Arab murderers....
Not to recognize Yerushalayim as the Capital of Israel!
Not to recognize Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights,
and to keep the Iran nuclear deal! The SHIT'ah of the Satmar gypsies! 
But Frankfurter cannot say it himself so he chose the stooge of Israel to say it for him ....

To justify this useless interview, and to make this lying thief somewhat credible, The Clown Frankfurter,  makes a bold attempt to link Olmert, the guy who is "mechalleil Shabbos be'faresyeh" and who eats chazir, ..........with Chareidim .....

Since the Frank really is on the same page as the thief Olmert, he has to now make Olmert into a "Gedoilim Lover!"

Talking about Olmert's election as mayor of Yerushalyim ... Frankfurter writes:

"He won the election with the encouragement of the chareidim and with the encouragement of Rav Elyashiv, he was elected to a second term. Since the he has maintained a warm relationship with gedolei Yisrael and the chareidi community"

Now ....Frankfurter always the deceiver and sneak, doesn't write that when "the thief" was PM, Rav Eliyashiv joined Gedoilei Yisroel in a "battle" against Olmert who was for the "Ramon Plan" of dividing Yerusahalyim! 

Concluding this stupid interview, Ami asks "the thief" if he "knew Admorim of Gur" "Rav Ovadia Yosef" as if he is now a guy who hangs around Gedoilim .... and one that recognizes the gadlis of "gedoilim."

So this "clown" Frankfurter, Editor of Ami, to justify his heretical and irrelevant views on Israel  drags the name of Gedoilim thru the sewer and embarrass them by linking their holy names with this piece of manure!

Sick isn't it??????

The "Aronim" War In Bnei Brak Heats Up As R' Aron Teitelbaum Orders The Expulsion of Three Children From Yeshivah .....

There is a "Milchamas Mitzvah" ... a war going on in Bnei Brak .....amongst Satmar Chassidim... not between the Zalonim and the Aronim but amongst the Aronim themselves....
I wish them both hatzlacha!

This is not the place or time to go into details, I just want to focus on a different issue ...
the expulsion from Yeshivah of innocent children!

The Head of the Aroinie Satmar Yeshivah in Bnei Brak is Reb Aron Teitelbaum's nephew .. a rabbi by the name of R Chaim Tzvi Meizels, he actually founded the Yeshiva ...he is fighting with his  with a guy named R' Heshel Rotter ....whose father is also from the founders of the Yeshivah ....

It seems that one of the parents took sides and sided with the Rotter guy against R' Meizels ... (it's more complicated but for the sake of what I want to bring out... we will leave the story as is) ..... and when R' Aron Teitelbaum got wind of this he ordered the expulsion of the guys three innocent children from the yeshivah ...

R' Meizels, even though he was the one that was offended, is so far refusing the order from the King, R' Aron Teitelbaum, his uncle!

Now ...  the Gedoilim of previous generations of all different sects were of the opinion  that one doesn't mess with children....
Because if you throw out innocent children because of the sins of the parents that will inevitably cause tremendous pain for the expelled and will effect them the rest of their lives ...

I know many children that were expelled not even because of the politics of their parents but because the parents couldn't afford tuition ....
many of them went off the derech and all are somehow psychologically affected to this very day ... 
they suffered humiliation, couldn't cope, bullying etc 

Gedoilim believe that expelling an innocent child from a yeshivah is in the "geder" of לא תרצח  "thou shall not murder"

So this ... R' Aron Teitelbaum, Monroe Satmar Rebbe keeps barking like a maniac against Zionism .... but sees no problem "murdering" innocent children!

I believe that  the prohibition of לא תרצח was written 3,500 years before the "prohibition" of Zionism!

Watch Chareidiem "Leidegeiers" Fighting With Cab Driver While Protesting Eurovision

 

These crazed fanatics with nothing to do on these long Shabbossim were protesting Chillul Shabbas of Eurovision

But they are protesting in Jerusalem .... Eurovision was in Tel Aviv...who in Yerusahlayim cares about Chillul shabbos in Tel Aviv

What's confusing is ... that last year the Chareidim Caused Chillul shabbos with their Lag Be"omer celebrations that took place Motzei Shabbos.. all the police and transportation was 

done on Shabbos itself.. yet no one protested

They don't care about Shabbos .. they are bored  to tears with these long Shabbosim

Children of Settlers Ask Hashem To Protect Them and Never Forsake Them!

Israeli UN Ambassador Explains Why Israel Belongs Legally To The Jewish People !

This lesson is a lesson for Satmar too, since they just like the Arabs deny Jewish rights to the Land of Israel !

William Handler Defender of A Rapist"..Now the Guru For Anti-Vaxxers!

On Monday night in Monsey, the Atrium was packed with ultra-Orthodox Jews. 

The ballroom of the massive catering hall usually hosts lively Hasidic weddings. 

This week it welcomed hundreds of people from around the New York City area who had come to this suburb — itself home to a large population of Haredim — to hear from people who believe that vaccines are harmful, and that anyone trying to get you to vaccinate your child is in the pocket of pharmaceutical corporations. 

But while the audience was almost entirely religious, only one of the speakers at the “vaccine symposium” was:
Rabbi Hillel Handler, who has become something of a poster child for the minority of Hasidic Jews who are rejecting calls from within their community and without to vaccinate their children for measles and other diseases.

It’s not Handler’s first time entering the spotlight as a lightning rod for controversy: He has defended numerous unpopular people, ideas and practices over the years.

“When something is unpopular or no one has the courage to say it, they come to me,” Handler told the Daily News. “If not me, who?”

Handler did not respond to multiple requests for comment left with his family.

The national measles outbreak is now close to the largest since the creation of the measles vaccine. 

It continues to spread in the Hasidic communities of upstate New York and New York City due to frequent travel of Hasidic Jews to Israel, where there is an even larger outbreak occurring, as well as the high density of Hasidic neighborhoods and the near-daily social gathering of children in schools and places of worship.

Handler lives in Brooklyn, and is a member of the Satmar Hasidic group. His views on vaccines fall into the same pattern as many of his other opinions: They are far from not only the political mainstream, but from the consensus beliefs of most Hasidic Jews.

Handler also believes that crimes of sexual assault should be dealt with by rabbis, not the police, and defended Rabbi Yisroel Weingarten, a New York rabbi who was sentenced to 30 years in prison for molesting his daughter.

Handler spoke in Monsey on Monday alongside secular saints of the anti-vaccine movement, including the disgraced British doctor Andrew Wakefield, who helped kickstart the modern anti-vaccine movement with a since-debunked study linking vaccinations to autism.

In his speech, Handler suggested that Hasidic Jews are being attacked in Brooklyn for simply sneezing on the sidewalk, and has falsely suggested that New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is targeting Jews because he is secretly German. (Handler, 77, is reportedly a Holocaust survivor.)

“We Hasidim have been chosen as the target,” Handler said on Monday, according to The New York Times. “The campaign against us has been successful.”

Handler also made several erroneous statements about vaccines and the diseases they are meant to protect against. 

Measles vaccines are safe for the vast, vast majority of recipients, and there is no link between vaccination and autism.

To be sure, Handler’s views are far outside the norm in the Hasidic world. While some schools in Rockland County, the suburban county north of New York that is home to several large Hasidic communities, have vaccination rates that barely reach two-thirds that of the state’s average rate, others have vaccination rates at or better than national averages. Hasidic rabbis have repeatedly encouraged their constituents to get themselves and their children vaccinated.

Handler has played into concerns among Hasidic Jews that government agencies are anti-religious and are determined to disrupt their highly traditional, often socially insular communities.

In a statement issued Wednesday titled “Nonsense and Insults at a Recent Monsey Gathering,” Agudath Israel of America, the largest Hasidic umbrella group, called Handler’s attack on de Blasio “deeply offensive.”

“It is unfortunate that he was allowed to share his imaginings with others,” the statement read.

Speaking to the New York Times on Tuesday, Handler appeared to walk back his opposition to vaccines somewhat.

“I don’t mind if someone takes a vaccine. It’s not my business,” he told a reporter. “What am I, a fascist? Am I going to bring down the law?”

Michaela Levit's "Lone IDF Soldier" Body Will Be Flown Back To South Florida

The funeral will take place on Friday at 3 pm, Star of David funeral home 7701 Bailey Rd, North Lauderdale, 33068

They bled, he fled.

A midtown plastic surgeon has apparently left the country, leaving a trail of patients upset about botched tummy tucks and liposuctions and unable to get their medical records.

The state Office of Professional Medical Conduct yanked Dr. Amnon Eric Sadeh’s license earlier this month after he failed to produce requested medical records and then did not show up for a disciplinary hearing.

Investigators had been trying since March 2016 to get copies of records for five of Sadeh’s patients, but the doctor stopped responding in July 2016, state records show.

He sold his Tribeca condo in August 2016 for $3.2 million.

The state followed up with certified letters but got no answer. In August 2018, Sadeh’s mother said the surgeon was in Israel, according to state Health Department documents.

Ana Kardashian said she never got records for her daughter’s 2015 nose job despite complaining to the state. She said her daughter landed in the hospital after Sadeh overprescribed pain medication after surgery.

“The New York Department of Health — that’s the most upsetting,” the mom said. “I would assume they would do something more efficiently, but they made us wait for a very long time and then … they said the guy cannot be located.”

Sadeh’s disappearance also put former patients seeking to sue him in a bind. Joshua Fogel, who represented two women who claimed he botched their tummy tucks, said the lawsuits couldn’t go forward because they couldn’t locate Sadeh.

The lawsuits were among four malpractice claims filed against Sadeh, 58, since 2016.

A message left for Sadeh with his mother was not returned.

“As soon as it became clear that this physician would be uncooperative, the department immediately took action to ensure this physician can no longer practice medicine in New York,” said DOH spokeswoman Jill Montag who said the agency was still working to try to help patients get their records.
