Reb Gershon Kranczer Alleged Sexual Predator Shipped to the USA from Israel

A Brooklyn man who fled to Israel in 2010 amid accusations of child molestation was extradited back to the Big Apple on Thursday, officials said.

Gershon Kranczer, 65, was arraigned at Brooklyn Supreme Court for the alleged sexual assault of two minor female relatives, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.

The suspected predator is accused of molesting one relative several times from August 1996 — when she was 6-years-old — to February 2003, prosecutors said.

Kranczer, of Midwood, is also alleged to have sexually abused an 11-year-old child between March 2001 and September 2002.

In 2010, as Kranczer was under investigation, he fled to Israel in an alleged bid to escape the law, prosecutors and sources said.

The NYPD alerted Interpol of Kranczer’s departure. The department’s Intel Bureau International Liaison Unit then got involved, coordinating with Israel police in an attempt to track down the suspect, sources said.

After spending over a decade overseas under the disguise of an alias, Kranczer was caught by authorities in February 2020, sources said.

The US Marshals, the Brooklyn DA’s office, and the Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs were also involved in catching Kranczer.

Kranczer fought extradition back to the states for over a year, sources said. After he lost his final appeal, he was extradited. 

He is charged with sexual conduct against a child, criminal sexual act and sexual abuse, authorities said.

At his Thursday arraignment, he was ordered held without bail.

White House says stimulus cash deposits will come ‘early as this weekend’

 

Stimulus money will begin to pour into Americans’ bank accounts on Saturday and Sunday, the White House said Thursday.

“People can expect to start seeing direct deposits hit their bank accounts as early as this weekend,” press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters.

President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill on Thursday, ahead of his 8 p.m. television address to the nation.

The relief package includes direct-aid checks of $1,400 for adults earning up to $75,000 annually and couples clearing up to $150,000 per year.

It also extends a $300 weekly unemployment supplement through Sept. 6, and gives all but the wealthiest parents a new annual tax credit of $3,000-$3,600 per child, up from the current $2,000 per child.

The package, formally the American Rescue Plan Act, passed with only Democratic support in Congress.

Who says social media is bad?

Social media and the rallies that social media have brought about – have accomplished the near impossible – pressuring recalcitrant husbands into giving a get.

The case in point, Elizabeth K., a woman living in Brooklyn, who has been waiting four years to receive her get, got it earlier tonight.  Instagram was particularly effective in this get – because there is a newly empowered group of Influencers on Instagram that arranged an impromptu rally.

The rally was held this morning at one venue and went to another.

“People came out of the woodworks,” remarked Avi David, who observed the rally.“The rally was actually planned, but many other women showed up because it went viral on Instagram and everyone’s Facebook page,” he continued.

Ehud Barak & Yair Lapid Torpedoed PM’s Visit To UAE

 

Following the drama on Thursday when Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was forced to cancel his scheduled trip to the United Arab Emirates due to a dispute with Jordan and his wife’s hospitalization, a Yisrael Hayom report said that the prime minister’s political rivals were involved in torpedoing his trip.

The report said that according to a senior Jordanian official, Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid and former Prime Minister Ehud Barak made extensive efforts to instigate Jordanian King Abdullah II into refusing Israel’s request to enters its airspace so as not to allow Netanyahu to visit the UAE prior to the March 23 election – calling attention to his diplomatic achievements.

“High-ranking Israeli political officials and former Israeli security officials cooperated with Amman to torpedo Netanyahu’s visit to the UAE, after Crown Prince Hussein’s visit to the Temple Mount was called off,” a senior government official in Amman told Yisrael Hayom.

The official added that “Jordan and Israel will need to find a way to lower the flames and end the diplomatic incident, which has embarrassed both sides. King Abdullah has taken many calls from Israeli officials, who argued that the instruction not to allow some of Prince Hussein’s armed security detail to cross Allenby Bridge came from the Prime Minister’s Office.”

Yisrael Hayom said that the Crown Prince was scheduled to meet with Lapid during his planned visit to Israel on Wednesday to visit the Temple Mount. Apparently, Netanyahu canceled the trip for this reason, using the extra security guards as an excuse.

Lapid’s office responded to the report by stating: “We have no idea on what this is talking about. No such meeting was ever scheduled.”

Netanyahu visit to UAE cancelled due to diplomatic spat with Jordan

 Israel and Jordan were working to calm the waters on Thursday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled historic first visit to the United Arab Emirates was cancelled following a diplomatic incident between Israel and Jordan.

Netanyahu's scheduled visit to the United Arab Emirates was held up on Thursday morning when Jordan announced it would not allow Netanyahu's aircraft to cross its airspace en route to the United Arab Emirates,.

Officials think that the Jordanian decision, which was announced only shortly before the flight was scheduled to take off, was a response to Israel's decision to cancel a visit to the Temple Mount that had been scheduled for Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah on Wednesday over disagreements about security protocols.

Israel Hayom has learned that the prince intended to visit the Temple Mount to pray prior to making the Haj pilgrimage to Mecca.

Officials in the UAE told Israel Hayom on Thursday afternoon that it appeared that Netanyahu's visit would most likely not take place as originally scheduled.

A senior government official in Amman told Israel Hayom that "high-ranking Israeli political officials and former Israeli security officials cooperated with Amman to torpedo Netanyahu's visit to the UAE, after Prince Hussein's visit to the Temple Mount was called off."

The official added that "Jordan and Israel will need to find a way to lower the flames and end the diplomatic incident, which has embarrassed both sides. King Abdullah has taken many calls from Israeli officials, who argued that the instruction not to allow some of Prince Hussein's armed security detail to cross Allenby Bridge came from the Prime Minister's Office."

Ancient manuscript dismissed as a fake since 1883 is actually the oldest known Biblical script

 

Jerusalem antiquities dealer Moses Willhelm Shapira told the world of the discovery of 15 manuscript fragments, said to have been found in a cave near the Dead Sea

The Shapira Scroll, an ancient manuscript first discovered in 1883 and dismissed as fake is 'actually the oldest known Biblical script', an expert claims.

Jerusalem antiquities dealer Moses Willhelm Shapira told the world of the discovery of 15 manuscript fragments, said to have been found in a cave near the Dead Sea.

The paleo-Hebrew script on the pieces of manuscript were nearly illegible as they had been blackened with a pitchlike substance, but Shapira claimed they were the 'original' book of Deuteronomy - maybe even the copy owned by Moses.

This was disputed and after selling them to the British Museum for £1 million experts declared them fake - after which they were sold by the museum and disappeared.

In a new book Israeli-American scholar Idan Dershowitz claims to have both archival, linguistic and literary evidence that prove the pieces were a true ancient artefact.
