Sen. Rand Paul during an interview on The Water Cooler with host David Brody described National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci as an elitist and a well-intentioned liar.
“You know I think Dr. Fauci is well intended, but I think he’s like many liberal elites,” Paul said, remarking that Fauci believes “the common man is not smart enough to make decisions, so he will make these decisions for you.
But in the process he may have to tell you a few lies because it’s for you, it’s for the betterment of mankind.
These are sort of noble lies as Plato said.
And these would be like telling you in the beginning that no masks work because he didn’t want you to buy the N95 masks,” Paul said, adding that Fauci also lied by saying that all masks work.
Paul said that cloth masks are not effective in shielding against COVID-19, but N95 masks do offer protection when used properly: “And really they only work in the hospital setting when you’re very careful, throw them away, wear gloves, wash your hands before and after, are incredibly cautious. But if you’re in the hospital and you want to go visit a COVID patient or you’re taking care of a COVID patient, the hospital will not let you enter the room with a cloth mask because they don’t work.”

Dutch government inspectors fined a store for labelling wine made in an Israeli settlement as “a product from an Israeli village in Judea and Samaria.”
The Israel Products Center near Amsterdam received the $2,514 fine last week following its refusal to replace the label with one acceptable to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, which requires such labels read “Product from the West Bank (Israeli settlement).”
The Israel Products Center, a shop and importer run by the pro-Israel group Christians for Israel, has had legal problems over labelling since 2019. The center’s director, Pieter van Oordt, wrote in a statement that he was “shocked” by the government’s actions, which he said were discriminatory.
At least four Dutch political parties have accused the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority of singling out Israeli products and ignoring controversial labels on products from other disputed areas, including Western Sahara and Northern Cyprus.
Medical Care Minister Tamara van Ark has rejected the claim, saying last year that the policy of enforcing EU regulations on labels is being applied across the board. However, the Center for Information on Documentation on Israel, a Jewish community watchdog, said Wednesday that it had no information on any action taken on country-of-origins labels on products that were not made by Israelis. If you examine the actual EU regulations, you can see that it is political and inconsistent (autotranslated):
Since the Golan Heights and the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) are not part of Israeli territory under international law, the statement ‘product from Israel’ is considered incorrect under the said legislation. and considered misleading.If the indication of origin is mandatory, another expression must be used, taking into account the way in which these areas are usually known.For non-settlement products from Palestine, a possible indication that is not misleading as to geographic origin and in line with international practice is’ West Bank product (Palestinian product) ‘ ‘ product from Gaza ”or “product from Palestine ”.
For products originating from settlements in the West Bank or the Golan Heights, indications limited to ‘Golan Heights product’ or ‘West Bank product’ are not sufficient. Even if the larger area or territory from which the product originates is stated, omitting the additional geographic information that the product originates from Israeli settlements would mislead the consumer as to the true origin of the product. In such cases, the expression “Israeli settlement” or equivalent should be added, for example, in parentheses. Thus expressions such as ‘Golan Heights product (Israeli settlement)’ or ‘West Bank product (Israeli settlement)’ could be used.
According to the regulations, one must be accurate in saying where the products come from. There is no nation called “Palestine” – yet Palestinian products may say that, instead of “Palestinian territories.” The areas where Jews live in the territories could be very accurately described as “Judea and Samaria,” which is what even the UN called it before Jordan’s illegal annexation of the territory. But instead, the Dutch regulations insist on a pejorative term, “Israeli settlement,” whose only purpose is to help people boycott the products.

More violence at the Ponevezh Yeshiva: Students from the 'haters' faction used tear gas against students from the 'terrorist' faction' during afternoon prayers in the Beit Midrash.
Police were summoned to the scene to break up the brawl and removed all students from the Beit Midrash.
The fight was the latest in a longstanding dispute between the two factions over control of the yeshiva and the division of its territory. The supporters of Rabbi Shmuel Markovitz on the one hand, nicknamed the "haters," and Rabbi Eliezer Kahaneman's rival camp, called the "terrorists" have long been at loggerheads and tensions frequently lead to violence.
On Tuesday, Rabbi Aryeh Kahaneman, the son of Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Eliezer Kahaneman, was beaten by students from the rival faction and taken to Tel Hashomer hospital.

Doctors at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem continue to fight for the life of Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, former chairman of the ZAKA organization, who attempted suicide in his home in Givat Ze'ev earlier Thursday.
Photographs of a note allegedly left by Meshi-Zahav circulated on social media. The note reads: "I am sorry. My punishment I have received already. Try to remember the good that I did; try to always remember what I forgot: 'There is an Eye that sees, an Ear that hears, and all your deeds are written in a Book.' (Ethics of the Fathers, 2:1 - ed.)."
Attorney Ephraim Damari and Meshi-Zahav's family claimed that the letter is a forgery. "This is a forged letter, fake news. We have manuscripts from Meshi-Zahav, in which neither the writing nor the signature is similar to those that appear in the letter," they stated,
Police opened an investigation against Meshi-Zahav, after allegations came to light in a report published by Haaretz. In that report, six accusers -both male and female - claimed Meshi-Zahav sexually exploited or assaulted them as far back as the 1980s.
Some of the accusers were minors at the time of the alleged assaults, others were adults.
The accusations against Meshi-Zahav were said to have been known among the Eida Haharedit, which he belonged to in his youth, but were not made known to the public when he began public activities outside the Eida Haharedit.

Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek Medical Center on Thursday morning said that the condition of Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, founder and former Chairman of ZAKA, has somewhat stabilized.
In a statement, the hospital said, "Yehuda Meshi-Zahav was brought to the trauma center at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, after several attempts at resuscitating him."
"Staff at Shaare Zedek conducted an initial examination and his condition was declared critical, with signs of some stabilization in his condition. He has been sent for continued examinations."
Shaare Zedek Director-General Professor Ofer Merin told media that Meshi-Zahav is "unconscious and on a respirator, with signs of life."
Earlier Thursday morning, it was reported that medics were attempting to resuscitate Meshi-Zahav after he attempted Thursday morning to end his life.
The attempted suicide occurred in Meshi-Zahav's home in Givat Ze'ev, less than one day before Channel 12 published an inquiry on him on its "Uvda" program.
Meshi-Zahav's son found his father and called emergency responders, who began attempting to resuscitate him, and transferred him to the hospital.
For years, Meshi-Zahav was respected figure in Israeli society, and even lit a torch on Mount Herzl 18 years ago.
In January this year, Meshi-Zahav lost both his parents to coronavirus.
In March, Meshi-Zahav, was selected for the Israel Prize in the field of Lifetime Achievement and Special Contribution to Society and the State award. Later that month, he was accused of sexual misconduct, and stepped down from his position as ZAKA's leader.
Police opened an investigation against Meshi-Zahav, after allegations came to light in a report published by Haaretz. In that report, six accusers -both male and female - claimed Meshi-Zahav sexually exploited or assaulted them as far back as the 1980s.
Some of the accusers were minors at the time of the alleged assaults, others were adults.
The accusations against Meshi-Zahav were known among the Eida Haharedit, which he belonged to in his youth, but were not made known to the public when he began public activities outside the Eida Haharedit.
Meshi-Zahav's attorney, Ephraim Damari, told Kan News that "Yehuda is convinced of one thing - that the media and public are putting him on trial for things he has no connection to. This is a very dangerous precedent."
"Trials are decided in court. Everything that is happening at the moment is getting in the way of a fair procedure. The media are the ones collecting evidence instead of the police and we don't know how reliable these sources are. The authorities should be allowed to do their job. My client, Yehuda Meshi Zahav, will fully cooperate with the police as soon as he's brought to trial. Once investigators present their evidence, he will provide his version of events."

For years, every weekend 40 people are shot in Chicago and the media looks the other way. Now they show you a 13 year old boy being shot (but forget to mention he's a gang member who had just fired shots at a car with a gun) #Chicago #police
