No These are Not Chassidim...Yaohnanen tribe who worship Prince Philip as a God believe his spirit is ready to return to their island

The Vanuata island tribe who worship Prince Philip as a God have told how they believe his spirit will return home to their island and will bring peace and harmony to the world.

Tonight's documentary, Prince Philip: God Of Our Island, which airs on May 4 at 10pm, is an 'alternative obituary' of the Duke of Edinburgh, who died last Friday aged 99, and is told by the Yaohnanen tribesmen on Tanna, a remote island in the South Pacific.

The 400-strong community believe that after his death, Philip's spirit will return home to their island, and will bring peace and harmony to the world. 

 

The film follows their five ambassadors - who came to the UK to meet Prince Philip in 2007 as part of Channel 4's Meet The Natives - on a pilgrimage around their island, as they prepare the island for Philip's return. 

'People may say that we're crazy,' says Albi. 'But that makes me believe he'll come home even more.'

The tribe believe that Tanna and England were once the same island. 

'When they broke apart, things started to go wrong for you on the other side of the world,' explains one tribesman. 'So our God of the volcano sent his son on a special mission to try to help you in England. 

You, the people of England, have always been told that Prince Philip was born in Greece, then he came to your country to join the navy where he met your young Queen.' 

'But we believe that Prince Philip is a spirit, born in Tanna, who was sent to England to bring peace, unity and harmony to the world.'  

Now he has died, the tribe believe it's time for that prophecy to be fulfilled.

'All happiness comes from Him,' says one tribe member, while another enthuses: 'I love Him so much...I pray for my life to connect to His.'

A third adds: 'He's the spirit and he's the son of our god. Everyone believes in him and his name is Prince Philip.'

New York Times's "Reader Comments" Section an Anti-Israel Cesspool

 

The New York Times is allowing its reader comments section to turn into an anti-Israel cesspool.

The first three “Reader Picks” comments on a recent Times news article about Iran’s nuclear program are all pretty vicious.

“We cannot let Israel run our country,” insists the top “reader pick” comment, echoing a classical antisemitic paranoia about undue Jewish influence, and winning a “recommend” vote from 128 other Times readers.

“Israel is a one-way ally — only taking. Blind support of Israel is contrary to US long-term interests,” according to the second “reader pick” comment, winning the recommend upvote of 110 other Times readers despite the blatant inaccuracy.

The third reader pick comment asserts, “Seems Israel would like nothing more than to provoke another Middle East war with US troops. While we pay them $3B to this day for weapons.” That won 88 “recommend” votes from Times readers, who seem oblivious to the fact that Israel has reportedly been degrading Iran’s nuclear program quite effectively without involving any US troops, or to the fact that the military aid supports American defense industry jobs.

Reader comments have been a persistent problem area for the Times.

In 2017, the paper awarded a gold ribbon “NYT Pick” to a reader comment claiming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “likes to control the US Congress,” describing American supporters of Israel as a disloyal “fifth column” and calling the Israeli leader a “parasitic thug.” After the Algemeiner reported about it and the advocacy group Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis complained, the Times deleted the comment, saying it had been posted inadvertently.

In 2018, the Times posted reader comments calling Israel “barbaric” and blaming Jews for antisemitism.

Also in 2018, a Times reader comment describing Israel as “bloodthirsty” drew an astonishing 494 “thumbs-up” votes from the paper’s readers.

In 2020, a Times article about a Jewish wedding attracted reader comments directed at Orthodox Jews. “One of the most selfish, arrogant, demagogic, chauvinistic, contemptuous, narcissistic, uncaring and un-American groups in existence,” was one comment, recommended with an upvote by 33 readers. Another comment accused the Hasidic Jewish community of attempting “to wage biological warfare on the rest of humanity.”

Defenders of the Times might observe that the views expressed in the comments section are those of the readers, not the paper’s journalists, and that online comments sections in general attract an unruly lot. Those are fair points, but nonetheless the Times is fond of holding other publications and platforms, such as Breitbart.com, and other political groups like the Republicans or Prime Minister Netanyahu’s governing coalition, responsible for the views of the most extreme tangentially related person.

One might reasonably wonder what the Times is doing to attract these hundreds of anti-Israel commenters. Why do people with such views choose to lurk at the Times rather than, say, in the comments section of Makor Rishon? How much of the Times subscription revenue comes from readers with these views, and how strong is the temptation at the Times to cater to them with articles that they will click on and share? This is a dynamic that Times star journalist Bari Weiss wrote about in her letter resigning from the paper: “stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences… Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world?”

“We cannot let Israel run our country,” the Times commenter contended. The danger is that the Times management will allow the anti-Israel, antisemitic-comment-writing mob of paying readers to run the newspaper — or at least to shape the editorial product in a way that undercuts the newspaper’s ostensible claim to journalistic objectivity. At the New York Times, the anti-Israel commenters are the paying customers who pay the editors’ and reporters’ salaries. As the paper increasingly seeks a global audience, those readers may not even be American anti-Israel commenters—they may be paying Times customers in longstanding bastions of Jew-hatred or anti-Israel sentiment overseas.

President Rivlin expected to hand mandate directly to Knesset

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has two weeks remaining from his 28-day mandate for secure majority backing in the Knesset for a new government, but has yet to make significant progress in breaking the ongoing political stalemate.

According to a report Wednesday morning in Israel Hayom which cited officials close to the president, should Netanyahu fail to build a new government by the end of the 28-day mandate, President Reuven Rivlin is expected to hand over the mandate directly to the Knesset, without nominating a second candidate.

Before he finalizes his decision, however, Rivlin will likely hold telephone consultations with Knesset faction leaders to receive an update on the situation in the Knesset regarding support for the various candidates for the premiership.

Should the Knesset receive the mandate and fail to select a prime minister within the time allotted, the 24th Knesset will be dissolved and Israel will hold its fifth general election in just over two years.

Alternatively, Prime Minister Netanyahu could request a 14-day extension of his mandate to form a government.

Should he do so, Netanyahu will likely be asked to provide details of his plan to form a new government, and why it has a good chance of succeeding.

Ponovitz..Shmuel Auerbach Goons Beat the Crap Out of R" Leibele Kahanaman Then Sing and Clap as He is Escorted to the Ambulance

R' Leibele Kahanaman is the son of the Nasi of Ponevitz, from this incident it appears that that the Shmuel Auerbach terrorists don't like him, maybe because he is against blocking traffic, so they beat the hell out of him to teach him lesson ...

The version according to the Blog Kikar Hashabasis is that R' Leibele's father, R' Eliezer, had Yurzeit for his mother and wanted the "amud"so that he can lead the prayers for mincha,,, the Auerbach terrorists weren't happy with that and the only way to stop him from davening for the "amud" was to beat him up.

While he was led out by Hatzala from Ponivitz Bais Ha'Medrish, the Auerbach contingency of the late Shmuel Auerbach started clapping, dancing and singing as if he was going to the Chupa..

Meah Shearim Extremist Who Riots Against the Light Rail Dressed Up as a Girl

 The prohibition of לא תלבש "not to dress up as a girl" doesn't apply when the Zionist police are searching for you.

This "animal" who continues to cause damage and sets fires was dressed up as a girl, and when the police came in the morning to arrest him they couldn't find him since those in the apartment were all "girls." 

In the afternoon, the cops came again to search and noticed that this "girl" was wearing a mask, something that is not done in Meah Shearim except on Purim..and so he got a free ride to jail.

Rumor has it, that he wasn't wearing panties....

Will Derek Chauvin"s Conviction be Overurned on Appeal because of Maxine Waters and Biden's Comments During Trial?

 

Remember when the Left used to go ballistic over President Trump’s propensity to lob rhetorical bombs into pending investigations and prosecutions? 

Good times, good times. 

Well, Trump is gone and, mirabile dictu, and we’re beginning to notice that the Left’s provocateurs are . . . lobbing rhetorical bombs into the most consequential prosecution in the nation — the murder trial of Derek Chauvin in the George Floyd case.

Indeed, it is worse than that. For all the downsides of his unhinged commentary, Trump never took matters to the point of jury intimidation, as the preternaturally unhinged Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters did over the weekend.

The jury may have returned a verdict Tuesday, finding him guilty of all charges. But as the judge noted Monday, Waters’ inflammatory language offered Chauvin grounds for appeal. Because of her, this isn’t over.

Waters checked every box. As a federal representative from a California district, she traveled to another sovereign state, Minnesota, to interfere in its judicial system. Her rabble-rousing was done in violation of a curfew that the elected mayor had imposed to suppress the rioting that followed the tragic accidental killing of Daunte Wright by a police officer. And her remarks can only be interpreted as an incitement to violence — one less ambiguously provocative than the one over which she and other House Democrats impeached Trump.

Waters’ standing as a member of Congress gives her no immunity against Minnesota’s criminal laws against obstruction of justice. She ought to be under investigation.

Remarkably, rather than distance themselves from such egregious conduct, the nation’s leading Democrats are piling on. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists that her fellow California congresswoman has nothing to apologize for. For his part, President Biden waited until the jury was deliberating to make the stunning public statement that he is “praying” for Chauvin to be convicted.

The fact that the jury is was sequestered when Biden spouted off is no excuse. He is a lawyer and former Senate Judiciary Committee chairman who well knows that sequestration does not make jurors impervious to prejudicial publicity. And if he’s been following the case as he claims to have been, he knows trial judge Peter Cahill has pleaded that public officials stop commenting on the trial — under circumstances where, even before the Bidens and Waters piped up, there was already substantial reason to doubt that Chauvin could get a fair trial in Minneapolis.

It does not matter how you hoped Chauvin’s trial would end. Our viability as a free, prosperous, rule-of-law society is dependent on the viability of courts as the protection every one of us, equally, can rely on against overbearing government and politicized mobs. In fact, due process is essential if we are to hold the guilty accountable — including police officers who abuse their power. Chauvin’s case is more complicated than much of the coverage suggests on key issues of intent and causation. But his conviction now has a real chance of having the result overturned because public officials, who know better, have recklessly undermined the integrity of the trial.

How is it that the Left grasps the fundamental need for due process and the presumption of innocence when a foreign terrorist is on trial for mass-murdering Americans, but not when an American police officer is in the dock?

Positive Development In #FreeNechama Case As Family Sits Down With Rav

 

In a positive and encouraging development, the Wasserman family has committed to working with a new Rav to help facilitate a Get for Nechama.

According to the latest information , the family has made a serious commitment to work with Rabbi Landesman of Beis Din Tzedek Kollel Harabbonim in Monsey, NY, to do whatever they can to facilitate the Get.

As such, a gathering that had previously been scheduled for today has been suspended.

We applaud the Wasserman family for moving forward in a positive and helpful manner to help Free Nechama finally after 7 long years.

We owe it to the Wassermans to take a step back and give them space while they put in the important work that lies ahead.

We all anxiously await the results of this positive development.

Please join us in praying for a positive outcome!
