Watch Video from Two Years Ago at the Meron Death Trap!


Evidence is emerging very quickly that unfortunately it was our Chareidie Askanim that should be held responsible for this deadly fiasco. 
There I said it...
They are quick to blame Police whom they call "Nazis" and are now scapegoating them, but evidence is emerging that the Askanim themselves are responsible for this deadly event..

On one hand they scream that this was a "Gezeirah min Hashamayim"and in the very next breath, they blame Police..

 See above "Kol Korah" that says in the name of "Daas Torah" that it is prohibited to hand over control of Meron to the government. 

Remember, that the Kotel, Means Hamachpeilah, Kever Rachel is under government control .

The above "Kol Korah" was signed by the following Gedoilim:

Rav Elyashiv. Rav Wosner. Rav Steinman. Rav Michel Lefkowitz. Rav Scheinberg. Rav Karelitz. Rav Shmuel Auerbach. Rav Chaim Kanievsky. Rav Yitzchak Scheiner. Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel. Rav Yaakov Hillel. 
Notice that the convicted and admitted Sexual Predator Eliezer Berland, also signed this notice.

Sheldon Silver Gets Released from Prison

 

A sickly looking Sheldon Silver was wheeled into his Manhattan apartment building in a wheelchair Tuesday afternoon after being released from prisonon furlough earlier in the day. 

The ex-speaker of the New York State Assembly and convicted swindler was accompanied by his wife, Rosa Mandelkern, as he made his way into his Grand Street building on the Lower East Side. 

The disgraced politician didn’t speak as he returned home, wearing a gray baseball cap, gray sweatshirt and a blue surgical mask. 

His friend and supporter Akiva Homnick met Silver and his wife in front of the building and later told reporters that the former lawmaker was “thrilled” to be home. 

“He wasn’t super smily but I’m sure inside he’s thrilled and ecstatic to be out,” Homnick said.

“I’m sure he’s thrilled to be home. Any time you don’t have to be in solitary confinement or even in prison it’s always a step in the right direction,” he added. 

Homnick said Silver spent a large chunk of his time behind bars in solitary confinement, as he was forced to quarantine every time he saw a doctor. 

Silver was cut loose on furlough from Otisville Correctional Facility — after serving less than a year of his his 6 1/2-year sentence — while waiting for the Bureau of Prisons to decide if he’ll be eligible to serve the remainder of his term on home confinement. 

The BOP was given broad authority to release inmates to home confinement last year amid the growing coronavirus pandemic.

‘Experts’ Doubt the U.S. Will Ever Reach ‘HERD IMMUNITY’

 

“Experts” are now doubting the United States will ever be able to reach herd immunity in regards to the Chinese coronavirus, according to a report from the New York Times, which concluded the virus is “here to stay.”

The New York Times, in a Monday report, cited a “widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts” who believe the herd immunity threshold is “not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.

Rather, they say the virus will stick around, becoming something the U.S. manages, though it remains unclear what the immediate ramifications of that mindset are, whether it be extended universal masking or continued social distancing.

“The virus is unlikely to go away,” Rustom Antia, an evolutionary biologist at Emory University in Atlanta, told the Times. “But we want to do all we can to check that it’s likely to become a mild infection.”

The Times also spoke to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who last year gradually shifted the goalposts of reaching herd immunity, moving from 60-70 percent to over 80 percent.

“People were getting confused and thinking you’re never going to get the infections down until you reach this mystical level of herd immunity, whatever that number is,” he said.

“That’s why we stopped using herd immunity in the classic sense,” Fauci added. “I’m saying: Forget that for a second. You vaccinate enough people, the infections are going to go down.”

“If the herd immunity threshold is not attainable, what matters most is the rate of hospitalizations and deaths after pandemic restrictions are relaxed, experts believe,” the outlet reported, pitching vaccines as the best way to move forward.

21-TON Chinese rocket is falling to Earth and nobody knows where it could land

 

An out-of-control 21-ton Chinese rocket is falling to earth and could land on populated areas, experts warn.  

China’s Long March 5b rocket that launched Thursday is predicted to crash back to Earth within the next few days. 

Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer who tracks objects orbiting Earth, told SpaceNews that it’s path takes it ‘a little farther north than New York, Madrid and Beijing and as far south as southern Chile and Wellington, New Zealand’. 

It could land anywhere in this range, that covers oceans and populated and unpopulated areas, but most of it would burn up in the atmosphere.   

Satellite trackers have detected the 100-foot-long rocket travelling at more than four miles per second.  

China launched Long March 5B at 11:23 am local time on Thursday to deliver the first stage of its upcoming space station.

The module, named ‘Tianhe’, or ‘Harmony of the Heavens’, will become living quarters for three crew members once the massive structure is complete.

China aims to complete its Chinese Space Station, known as Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) by the end of 2022, state media reported, after several further modules are launched.

When complete, Tiangong Space Station  will orbit Earth at an altitude of 211 to 280 miles.    

……

However, the return of the rocket could put an end to China’s celebration if the vehicle lands in an inhabited area.

Space debris trackers observed it moving slowly and unpredictably to Earth over the past few days, and  reentry of the vehicle would be one of the largest

President expected to give Lapid mandate to form government

 

President Reuven Rivlin is likely to task Opposition Leader Yair Lapid with forming a new government once Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s mandate expires, Israel Hayomreported Tuesday morning, citing senior political officials.

Netanyahu’s mandate to form a coalition expires at midnight between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

While Netanyahu could request an extension, it is unclear if the prime minister will seek an extension.

A senior official in the president’s office told Israel Hayom that Rivlin is leaning towards giving the mandate to Lapid rather than Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett.

The official explained that the President has reasoned that “one bloc” – the Right – has “already had a chance” and failed, and there is no reason to expect that another party from the same bloc will be more successful.

In addition, the official cited in the report said that Rivlin won’t hold another round of consultations with faction leaders, but will accept comments from lawmakers regarding any changes in the political situation.

“He won’t hold an additional round of consultations. Whoever wants to can express their position. The President will get a picture of the situation based on everything he sees – including talks with party representatives who request a meeting.”

The report also pointed to growing tensions between Lapid and Bennett, with the Opposition Leader hoping to receive the mandate in place of Bennett, fearing that if Bennett is tasked with forming a government, he will use the mandate to form a coalition with Netanyahu and the Right.

Heartwarming meeting between Meron victim and the Cop who saved him

 

Avigdor Hayut, whose son was among the 45 people killed in the Meron disaster last week, met Monday with the police officer who saved his life and the life of one of his sons during the Lag Ba’Omer catastrophe.

The officer, Rami Olan, visited the Hayut family Monday to offer his condolences on the loss of their son.

During Olan’s visit, Hayut recalled how Olan rescued him, did not, "ask me about my religious background, which party I supported, or if I were Jewish, Druze, or Muslim."

“I was lying on the floor, down on the ramp, with the mass of hundreds of people pressing down on us,” said Avidgor Hayut.

“I saw Rami yelling to me, ‘Give me your hand, I’ll pull you out.’ But I said ‘forget about me, save the boy.’”

“At that point, Rami tried, but was unsuccessful.”

"What Rami did for me shows that we can make coexistence work if we really put our minds to it, that it’s in our hands," he said and continued, "We can do it when disaster strikes, but that doesn't have to be the case. We can also do it on an everyday level."

"What happened is in the past. God took my son's life and my student's but thanks to Rami my life and my son's were saved."

Stunning Therapy Knocks Out Cancer by training immune cells to seek and destroy deadly threats

 


While it sounds like the stuff of science fiction, a cancer treatment in which a patient’s own cells are engineered to hunt down and wipe out their disease — and then linger in the body to stop the cancer returning — is helping to save patients’ lives.

The results of the treatment, known as CAR T-cell therapy, have been astonishing. 

Patients who had exhausted all other options and been told they had just months to live have gone into remission. Others have even been cured by the one-off dose.

In trials, all signs of cancer disappeared in more than 80 per cent of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia — the most common cancer in children — after receiving CAR T-cells.

Success stories include Emily Whitehead, now 16, who in 2012 became the first child in the world to take part in a CAR T-cell trial.

Emily, who only had weeks to live when her leukaemia became resistant to conventional therapies, had the revolutionary treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in the U.S. when she was six years old. She is still cancer-free today.

Eyewitness: All I could see were faces of agony

 


by Josh Vlessing

We arrived at the entrance of the mountain shortly before midnight. My friends and I had come from Tel Aviv on a private bus through Jeff Seidel’s Jewish Student Center, seeking out the eccentric celebration that takes place on Mount Meron every Lag B’Omer. As secular students on Young Judaea Year Course, we didn’t know exactly what we’d be doing all night, but we knew it would be a night of “culture shock” we’d never forget.

Once the shuttles dropped us off, we were able to quickly meet up with some friends from other gap year programs who had been at the mountain since before dark. We rejoiced at having made it. After more than three long hours on the bus, we had finally reached the gathering of tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews from around the country. Why were we here again? To experience another crazy night in Israel, of course.

Our friends pointed us in the direction of “the main event” – the bonfire at the gravesite of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, the second-century Talmudic scholar who is credited with authoring the central text of Kabbalah called the Zohar. A small group of us sprinted up the mountain as if we were making our way through a crowded music festival in the United States. We got lost in crowds, separated from each other, and as I looked around, my best friend Ayden Wells and I realized we had been cut off from the others. We couldn’t wait any longer to see all the excitement. We took off.

We jumped over a railing and dashed through a congested corridor, following black hats and letting the momentum guide us. We found ourselves in a pit next to a stage filled with rabbis and one large bonfire at the center. There were an unfathomable number of faces above us as if we were in the center of a stadium. On the ground, though, the situation became worrisome. Neither Ayden nor I had control over our bodies; we were unable to reach for our phones and the pressure on our chests increased drastically due to severe overcrowding.

The worst panic I could’ve ever imagined
