More on Ami Magazine & Gittel Davidson

 

Last week,  I commented on Ami's fiction writer, Chaya Silber, who took a seemingly innocent story and infused it with hate and venom and heaped it on the State of Israel. 

Click on the link, and you will see what I'm talking about.

This week I got hold of the actual article and I found some great "gems" that really highlight the craziness of this story.

Gittel Davidson, the daughter in-law of Madeleine Lucette Farraille, aka Ruth Ben-David,the French lady that converted to Judaism with her son Uriel, and kidnapped Yossele Schumacher, makes the most bizarre statement about her mother-in law.

Gittel relates that Ruth had a connection with Yasser Arafat's mother-in-law, going back to her old French days, and since Arafat's mother-in-law "knew that Ruth Blau was an anti-Zionist, she tried to persuade her to help Fatah against the Israelis."

Are you guys digesting this? Unreal.... 

Gittel doesn't describe how this connection came about, since it probably wouldn't put Ruth in a very positive light, but we the readers are all dying of curiosity, we are sitting at the edge of our seats ... but Ami's Chaya Silber hears this directly from the mouth of Ruth's daughter-in-law, Gittel, and doesn't ask her..something that is on the tip of the tongue of anyone reading this article

"What? Did I hear this correctly? How did they know each other? Did they keep in touch all these years? What did Arafat's mother-in-law know about Ruth that would even make her think that Ruth could turn on her own people?. Were they close? " What was the connection?"

Chaya Silber who writes fiction for a living doesn't flinch and isn't curious how this came about ...

 Gittel goes on to say:

"My saintly mother-in-law proudly replied, 'Madame, although I am an anti-Zionist, I would never do anything that would harm the Jewish people!" 

Whew! 

I was in suspense on how Ruth would respond; we are all relieved now that her "saintly mother-in-law" decided to do the right thing and not stab the Jewish nation which she embraced. She went "Lifnim Meshuras Ha'din"

A "saint" indeed!

Now for the clincher: 

Sit back and relax but this is not the time to be holding a hot coffee or slurping hot chicken soup.

Way back in 1951, a Jewish child of 3, Moshe Shimon, from a Satmar family living in Petach Tikvah, walked out of his home on Rosh Hashana  and disappeared, and was never seen again. The family suspected that  their Christian neighbour kidnapped him and raised him in a convent in Jordan...

Anyone reading this who doesn't see the irony is not playing with a full deck..

But both Chaya Silber, the Ami Interviewer, and the protagonist Gittel Davidson did not pick up on this ....

The Satmar family approached Ruth in 1980, 30 years after the child's disappearance asking for help to locate Moshe Shimon...

After visiting abbeys and monasteries in the Old City of Jerusalem and Shechem, with no success, Ruth decided to visit Yasser Arafat and ask him for help...

Her link to Arafat? His mother-in-law........

Ruth, of course wasn't successful but I want to steer you to Ruth's impression of Yasser Arafat as related to Chaya Silber by Gittel Davidson..

"After she had met Arafat, whom she disliked immediately, my mother in-law told my husband (Uriel) that Arafat was a liar and a very bad person, and would never do anything." meaning to help her in her search 

Wow.... who knew? 

"Arafat was a liar and a very bad person" 

Ruth actually thought that Arafat who had a business of murdering innocent Jewish children would help her locate a missing Jew!

I'm glad that Ami is setting us straight about Yasser Arafat!

How perceptive of Ruth to see thru Arafat and find him a liar and a bad person.... so now Gittel wants us, thinking that we are as stupid and gullible as she, to admire Ruth because she also found "Arafat to be a bad person" even-though Ruth was an anti-Zionist!

This story took place in 1980 or 1981

It seems that Ruth wasn't aware that in 1972, merely 8 years before she met Arafat, the leader of the Fatah Terrorists, ordered the execution of  11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games.....

In 1974 Palestinian terrorists massacred 21 Jewish school children in Maalot

All that and more didn't make Arafat a "bad person" what made Arafat a "bad person' was that he wouldn't help her find a 30 year old lost now grown man living a life of a Christian in Jordan.

So Gittel Davidson sits on her couch and praises her "saintly" mother-in-law, for being  a "saint" and an insightful person; she was able to detect that "Arafat was a very bad person."

By the way, members of her father-in-law's Neturei Karta, such as Moshe Hirsch,  actually thought that Arafat was a great guy and met him on multiple occasions.

Palestinians went on to bomb the Sbarro Pizza Shop in Yerushalyim blowing up 15 people including 7 children and a pregnant woman, 130 were wounded! 

A drink please..... I need drink ......anyone home?... 

Did you just bring me water? Noooooooooooo! I need a stiff drink!

Watch: Kamala Harris wipes hand after greeting S. Korean leader

 

A clip showing Vice President Kamala Harris wiping her hand after meeting the South Korean president would have been “the end of the world” if it had been Donald Trump, says Sky News host Rowan Dean.

Mr Dean said it was a “shocking performance” by the vice president but had received very little media coverage. “Had it been Donald Trump can you imagine the outrage that would have occurred. It would have been the end of the world,” he said.

Hamas founder’s son says Israel should kill terror group’s leaders after ceasefire

 

Sheikh Hassan Yousef is the founder of Hamas.

The son of Hamas founder Hassan Yousef urged Israel to target the terror group’s leaders for assassination, even after the ceasefire reachedFriday.

“Assassinating Hamas leadership will not destroy Hamas, but it will teach them a lesson and hold them accountable,” Mosab Hassan Yousef told The Post in a phone interview. “Next time, before you get civilians on both sides involved in a bloodbath, you need to think 1,000 times. This is my personal suggestion.” 

Mosab Yousef said top Hamas leaders like his father likely rode out the recent violence in secure underground bunkers, while using the deaths of their own people to score foreign propaganda points.

“Hundreds of children have paid the price. These type of people cannot get away with what they did. They should not feel safe for a day,” he said. “Hamas hates Israel more than they love their own children.”

Mosab Yousef, 43, said he follows regional developments closely, and attributed the latest round of violence to Hamas’ growing marginalization in recent years. The real estate dispute in East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood — the ostensible trigger of the current unrest — was just a pretext, he said.

“Hamas was very disappointed by the Abraham Accords that ignored them completely,” he said of the peace deals Israel signed with several Mideast states last year. “It’s the new reality that President Donald Trump made in the region. This is a new reality and Hamas is not prepared to accept it.”

Much of that new reality came together during Trump’s final months in office. His signature agreements saw Israel formally normalize relations between Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan and Morocco. Trump’s decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem and recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights provoked remarkably little reaction from Hamas.

“The Middle East understood Trump’s language very well. It was the language of fire. He did not show lots of tolerance,” Mosab Yousef said. “The seventh-century mentality of the Middle East misunderstands tolerance as weakness.”

Born in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Mosab Yousef was once groomed by his father to be a leader in the Palestinian terror movement. But in 1997, he began secretly collaborating with Israel’s internal security service, Shin Bet. For 10 years, he was one of their most valuable intelligence assets. His code name was “The Green Prince,” a nod to his exalted family background. A book and documentary film about his exploits followed in 2010 and 2014, respectively. 

He later turned toward Christianity, sought political asylum in the United States, and became a citizen in 2018. He now lives quietly in California, where he enjoys free diving and yoga. His survives off speaking engagement fees and consulting work. Another brother, Suheib Youself, defected from Hamas in 2019, telling Israeli media he had become fed up with corruption and called the group a “racist terror organization that is dangerous for the Palestinian people.”

Mosab Yousef said he saw the light after a stint with his dad’s comrades in an Israeli jail during the mid-1990s. At Megiddo Prison, he witnessed Hamas inmates leading a brutal year-long campaign to weed out supposed Israeli collaborators. 

“During that time, Hamas tortured and killed hundreds of prisoners,” he said, recalling vivid memories of needles being inserted under finger nails and bodies charred with burning plastics. “Many, if not all, had nothing to do with Israeli intelligence.

“I will never forget their screams,” he continued. “I started asking myself a question. What if Hamas succeeded in destroying Israel and building a state. Will they destroy our people in this way?”

Though Hamas was democratically elected by the Palestinians of Gaza in 2006, Mosab Yousef said the group was not as popular as they might appear from news footage. 

“The silence of the majority of Gaza is not because they support Hamas, but because they are afraid of Hamas,” he said. “The people live in fear. Hamas rules over them by the sword. If you oppose Hamas they will shoot you or hang you immediately. You and your family are finished.”

Mosab Yousef said he has had no contact with his family since 2009. Though he travels frequently, he has no plans to ever make a journey home, as certain death would await him. His father has already blessed his assassination.

“[My father] publicly declared, ‘He is not my son’, which means if you want to get him, I am not going to stop you or come after you,” Mosab Yousef said. 

“He made my blood halal.”

Arab Animal Who Beat Jewish Man In Midtown: ‘I Would Do It Again’

 

The animal who was arrested for savagely beating a Jewish man in Midtown last week is showing no remorse for his actions.

In fact, he would do it again given the chance.

23-year-old Waseem Awawdeh of Bay Ridge was arrested on Friday for the beating of 29-year-old Joseph Borgen, and charged with assault as a hate crime, gang assault, menacing, aggravated assault as a hate crime and criminal possession of a hate crime.

In the attack, Borgen was kicked and struck repeatedly by at least six people after being knocked to the ground in middle of Broadway. The New York Post reported that Borgen suffered a concussion, a black eye and sustained bruises all over his body.

Awawdeh’s bail was set at $10,000.

According to a prosecutor at the arraignment, Awawdeh told one of his jailers “If I could do it again, I would do it again. I have no problem doing it again.”

The Manhattan assistant district attorney added that the case is being investigated as a hate crime, noting that Awawdeh called Borgen a “dirty Jew” and said, “[expletive] Israel, Hamas is going to kill all of you.”

The NYPD has released an image of more suspects being sought in the case.

NYC Mayor Convenes Emergency Meeting of Jewish Leaders Regarding Antisemitic Attacks

Agudath Israel of America has condemned, in the strongest possible terms, the senseless, antisemitic attacks against Jews in New York City, Los Angeles, and elsewhere around the country. The idea that unrest in the Middle East justifies gang violence and “Jew-hunting” is horrifying.

In New York City, Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, Agudah’s executive vice president, and Mr. Shlomo Werdiger, chairman of Agudah’s board of trustees, reached out to Mayor Bill de Blasio to request an urgent meeting to address this critical matter. Mr. de Blasio responded immediately and convened an emergency meeting of Jewish leaders at New York City Hall.

In addition to Mr. Werdiger and Rabbi Zwiebel, the Jewish delegation included Mr. Chaskel Bennet, member of Agudah’s board of trustees, Rabbi Yeruchim Silber, Agudah’s director of New York government affairs, Rabbi Moshe Dovid Niederman, executive director of United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg, and Rabbi Moshe Indig, of the Satmar community of Williamsburg.

They were joined by Dean Fuleihan, NYPD First Deputy Mayor, Rodney Harrison, NYPD Chief of Department, John Miller, NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Public Information, and Pinchas Ringel, the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit Assistant Commissioner. The NYPD representatives reported on the progress of the ongoing cases, as well as what preventive measures they would be putting in place to ensure the continued safety of the Jewish community.

Mr. De Blasio assured the Jewish leaders that the attacks will be addressed forcefully, that arrests have been made and that more arrests are forthcoming.

The Agudah commends the mayor for his responsiveness and thanks him for his assurances.

Those who committed anti-Semitic acts over recent days must be held responsible for their actions and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The Agudah calls upon members of the media, elected officials nationwide, and all people of good conscience to denounce these and all acts of antisemitism and senseless violence.

Jews Attacked In Flatbush and In Boro Park

 

The NYPD is investigating two possible hate incidents late Motzei Shabbos.

Sources say that at around 7:30PM, two Jewish teens were assaulted on Ocean Parkway and 18th Avenue. The victims claim a group of men exited a Toyota Camry and assaulted them.

The boys say they were forced to say “Free Palestine”, and were repeatedly punched. They claim another few men surrounded them with baseball bats.

The boys say that a Muslim Uber driver saved their lives when he passed by and saw what was happening. He drove them to where they were staying for Shabbos, in the area of Avenue R and East 12th Street.

Meanwhile, a short while later, a group of men exited a vehicle on 16th Avenue and 49th Street in the heart of Boro Park, and began yelling anti-Semitic slurs at Jews on the street. One man reportedly spit at Jewish pedestrians while yelling “kill the Jews”. Another man punched a car mirror, breaking it.

The NYPD is looking into the possibility that both incidents are connected. A massive NYPD response was called late Motzei Shabbos, and a Level 1 Mobilization was requested.

PHOTOS of Times Square Anti-Semitic Hate Monsters

 

Police released new surveillance images Friday night of several suspects wanted in connection with a vicious antisemitic attack in Times Square a day earlier.

Joseph Borgen thought he was going to die on Thursday when a group of men beat him to the ground and assaulted him during tense demonstrations in Times Square over unrest in the Middle East.

The group punched, kicked, pepper sprayed, and hit Borgen with crutches while making antisemitic statements, according to police and video of the assault.

“I was holding my head bracing, trying to make it out alive,” Borgen, 29, said. “They proceeded to assault me, kick me, beat me, hit me with flagpoles … My whole face was on fire, more pain than anything else.”

Borgen was treated at a hospital for his injuries.
