Satmar Chassidim Now Beating Up Those Who Attend Protests With Palestinians Against Israel

 There is a big change in Satmar who say that the Satmar Rebbe cancelled any protests against Israel when he found out that Arabs were going to  attend the rallies.

Its now getting to the point that the Satmar chassidim are getting fed up with the Arab Loving Satmar contingent and throwing them out of Shul;l and beating them up!

First video is a Satmar askan talking in Yiddish explaining that the Rebbe was against any alliance with Arabs against Israel, second video you see a Satmar askin beating the crap out of an Arab Lover who went to a Palestinian Protest and throwing out another Arab lover..

Two dead, 184 injured in grandstand collapse in Givat Zev Stoliner Beit Medrash..New Shul was a "dangerous Place"


Bleachers were held together by Zip Ties!

When are we going to learn ... ? 
Who is going to be held responsible for this? 

The Building was still under construction and was not cleared for usage.. 

In fact the gabbaim were warned not to use it as the "site was dangerous"



A 40-year-old man and a 12-year-old boy were killed and 184 people were injured when a grandstand collapsed at a synagogue in Givat Ze’ev in Jerusalem during Shavuot prayers on Sunday evening.

Reports said that approximately 600 people were at the synagogue at the time of the incident.

Magen David Adom paramedics who were called to the scene evacuated the injured to hospitals.

105 people were evacuated to Shaare Zedek Hospital, including two in serious condition, six in moderate condition and 97 in light condition.

22 people were evacuated to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital, of whom one is in moderate condition and 21 are lightly injured.



51 people were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, of whom three are in serious condition, three are suffering moderate injuries and 45 are in light condition.

Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer received four people with light injuries.

Two people with light injuries were evacuated to Shamir-Assaf Harofeh Hospital.

MDA's blood services provided 237 blood doses and components to the hospitals in Jerusalem.

A Magen David Adom paramedic who arrived at the scene in Givat Ze'ev said, "There was a big commotion at the scene, worshipers who were there signaled for me to enter the building and were shouting for help. Dozens of wounded to varying degrees lay on top of each other in the back of the grandstand that collapsed while trapped under the rubble and metal fragments."

The IDF has dispatched fighters from the Home Front Command and medical forces from the Central Command to assist in the incident.

Israel Air Force helicopters and medical personnel were also rushed to the scene.

Jerusalem District Police Commander Doron Turgeman, who arrived at the scene of the incident, said that the makeshift building set up for the prayer service had not been cleared for use by the police.

"The police instructed the local council that the synagogue should not be used. It is the responsibility of a local authority to prevent the entry of worshipers," said Turgeman.

“There are at least two dead in the incident. There was negligence and irresponsible conduct here, there will be arrests,” he added.

Givat Ze’ev Regional Council Head Yossi Avrahami said that the council had warned about holding events at the synagogue that collapsed.

"The council appealed to all relevant authorities and alerted on this issue. We closed [the venue] with signs saying that the site here is dangerous and from the council's point of view, it was not possible to enter and hold the event here. Police said they were not liable for the event. We've got it written down," he said.

The police have decided that the fraud unit of the Tel Aviv district will investigate the incident.

The decision was made mainly to prevent allegations that the Jerusalem Police are investigating an incident in which they may be involved.

Lod rabbi rules religious Jews should film rioting, use Whatsapp on Shabbat

 

Due to continuing violence in Lod, local Rabbi Chaim Shmila has instructed Jewish residents to carry their phones on Shabbat, document the riots and use WhatsApp in order to help spread information about the situation in the city.

In a Whatsapp message he sent to his community members, Shmila explained that the current situation put lives in danger, and protecting those lives was of supreme value, and therefore an act that is forbidden according to traditional Shabbat observance was no longer forbidden.

The rabbi instructed members of the congregation to contact the police if they encountered any threatening behavior, such as burning trash bins, throwing stones, Molotov cocktails, or using weapons, or if they were concerned that a rioting mob was beginning to gather.

Shmila made sure to let members know that one is only allowed to document riots if it did not put one's own life in danger.

In Gaza "No one wants to 'ride' the Metro,"



Hamas fired some 120 rockets at Israel between 7 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. Sunday, the IDF reported Sunday morning. About 11 of the rockets missed Israel entirely and landed in the Gaza Strip, while Israel's air defenses intercepted several dozen more that were tracking toward populated areas.

IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman said Sunday that some 130 Hamas terrorists have been killed in IDF strikes since the start of Operation Guardian of the Walls, which entered its seventh day on Sunday.

Zilberman confirmed that the IDF had targeted the homes of senior Hamas leaders in Gaza.

"We attacked the home of Yahya Sinwar in Khan Younis and the home of his brother, who is responsible for personnel and logistics in Hamas. Both homes serve as bases for terrorism. These were only part of the strikes on [Hamas] operatives' homes. Overnight, we also attacked the home of the Zeitoun brigade commander, head of Hamas' research and development," he said.

Zilberman noted that the focus of Israel's strike had been Hamas leaders; rocket launchers, and continued attacks on Hamas' "Metro" underground tunnel network.

"We will continue to deepen our attacks on Hamas … overnight, we continued our operation against Hamas' tunnel network. We carried out the second stage of the operation to destroy its Metro in the northern and central parts of Gaza. This is a massive attack, although less than Thursday's. 

There are more stages to come, including a methodical offensive against its attack tunnels. Right now, various officials in the terrorist organization are afraid to go underground – not only leaders, but operatives, as well. No one wants to 'ride' the Metro," Zilberman said.

In addition, he explained, since Friday the IDF had successfully taken out 45 multiple rocket launchers, nearly one per hour. "We are targeting their rocket launchers that propel rockets to a lot of different places in Israel," he said.

According to Zilberman, Hamas and the other terrorist groups in Gaza could fire every hour, but they were not taking into account the need to conserve ammunition.

Early Sunday, Hamas launched a spate of rocket attacks on southern Israel early Sunday following a night of heavy Israeli airstrikes against its infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.

Shortly after midnight Saturday, Hamas unleashed dozens of rockets toward central Israel and the coastal plain region, amid threats to aim at Tel Aviv. Overnight Saturday, Israeli Air Force aircraft continued to operate, with one of its strikes targeting a Hamas military intelligence site.

Overnight Saturday, the IDF published a list of the targets the IAF had eradicated throughout the day, as well as some of the senior members of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad who have been confirmed dead since the beginning of Operation Guardian of the Walls.

R' Akiva Gancz Satmar Educator Passes Away at 95

 

Rabbi Akiva Gancz, a beloved and highly respected figure throughout the entire Satmar community, passed away today in Kiryas Joel at the age of 95.

A founding father of the Satmar Cheder under the guidance of the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, Rabbi Gancz was a rebbe for the youngest boys in the Satmar school system and was lovingly called Reb Kivala. 

He was well known for taking his students to say Shema with newborns at the vachtnacht, held on the night before their bris and gave tens of thousands of three year olds their first taste of the alef bais and packages of treats on the day of their first haircuts. 

While he and his wife had no children of their own, the fatherly warmth that he gave his young students at the Satmar Cheder over an educational career that spanned decades was legendary. 

Known to Satmar chasidim everywhere, Rabbi Gancz was renowned for his humility and sterling character. His funeral took place last night at 12:30 at the Congregation Yetev Lev D’Satmar, Kiryas Joel and was followed by burial in the Satmar cemetery on Schunnemunk Road.

Biden must let Bibi fight his way: Goodwin

 


by Michael Goodwin

For many Americans, the violent clash between Israel and Hamas sparks an understandable sense of having seen it all before. While it’s true there is a long, bloody history between the combatants, the current fighting is unique in ways that make the endgame especially crucial for the Jewish state and the entire region. 

The most obvious change is that Hamas increased its rocket capacity, both in numbers and range. In previous battles, the relative handful of explosives launched from Gaza were a threat only to Israelis near the border. 

This time, more than 2,000 rockets and mortars have been fired, and Israeli officials are surprised at how far some can travel. While the explosives are unguided and many are destroyed by Iron Dome batteries, the sheer number has at times overwhelmed the defense system, making all of Israel more vulnerable. 

Air raid sirens are sending residents to defense shelters all over the country and some civilians have been killed, including a child

The rockets are smuggled from Iran or built in Gaza using Iranian supplies, making the weapons a proxy for Iran’s malign reach. Hezbollah, the Iranian cat’s-paw controlling Lebanon, sits on Israel’s northern border, and three rockets fired from there Friday caused concern that a second front might develop. 

There also are outbreaks of violence in the West Bank and Arab villages in Israel, some involving Jewish and Muslim civilians ­attacking each other. 

Still, the main event is the Iranian connection and the willingness of Hamas to fire indiscriminately on civilian areas, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. That combination justifies Israel’s ferocious response and its effort to wipe out the terrorist group’s leadership. 

A Wednesday tweet from the Israel Defense Forces showed the faces of 14 men it said were “neutralized.” 

“They were responsible for the rocket attacks against Israel in the last 72 hours,” the tweet read. “They will never plan another terror attack again.” 

The decapitation strikes illustrate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to inflict massive and lasting damage on Hamas. To head off any push for quick restraint, which would give Hamas a public relations victory and spare its leaders, Israeli officials told the Biden adminis­tration to buzz off. 

They want the freedom to act because they believe it is crucial that Hamas not only lose the war it started, but for its defeat to be widely seen and understood. Otherwise, the terrorists will gain stature and an incentive to do it again.
