At Least 8 Gazan Children Featured on NY Times Front Page were Killed by Hamas Themselves

 

At least eight of the children whose names were featured by the New York Times in a list of children killed during Operation Guardian of the Walls were killed by rockets launched by terrorist organizations that misfired and fell inside the Gaza Strip, the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) has found.

On May 28, the Times published on its front page 67 pictures of children and adolescents killed in the Gaza Strip during Operation Guardian of the Walls with the headline, “They Were Just Children.” The Times listed the names of the casualties under the age of 17 who were killed, two in Israel and 65 in the Gaza Strip.

A few days later the Times printed a retraction, reporting that one of the pictures was of a child killed “under other circumstances and not during the hostilities.”

However, the ITIC found that this was not the Times’ only inaccuracy.

Baraa al-Ghrabi, 4, from Jabaliaת Ibrahim Hassanein, 16, from Beit Hanoun, Mustafa al-Abir, 17, from Beit Hanoun, Hussein Hamad, 11, from Beit Hanoun, Yazen al-Masri, 2, from Beit Hanoun, and Marwan al-Masri, 7 from Beit Hanoun were killed by rockets fired by Hamas and the Islamic Jihad at Israel that exploded inside Gaza.

Israeli Archaeologists Discover Intact Chicken Egg from 1,000 Years Ago

 

While excavating an ancient cesspit dating from the Islamic period (7th century CE), Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologists in Yavne were astonished to find an unbroken chicken’s egg.

The large-scale archaeological excavations, directed by Dr. Elie Haddad, Liat Nadav-Ziv, and Dr. Jon Seligman, have discovered an extensive and diverse industrial area dating from the Byzantine period, as part of the Israel Land Authority’s urban expansion project in the city.

“Eggshell fragments are known from earlier periods, for example in the City of David and at Caesarea and Apollonia, but due to the eggs’ fragile shells, hardly any whole chicken eggs have been preserved. Even at the global level, this is an extremely rare find,” says Dr. Lee Perry Gal of the IAA, a leading expert on poultry in the ancient world. “In archaeological digs, we occasionally find ancient ostrich eggs, whose thicker shells preserve them intact.”

Black MSNBC & NYT Reporter Says it's ‘Disturbing’ to see ‘dozens of American flags’ on trucks on Long Island

 

MSNBC contributor Mara Gay said Tuesday that she was “disturbed” to see “dozens of American flags” flown by Donald Trump supporters during a weekend trip to Long Island, New York. 

The left-wing editorial board member for the New York Times was also distressed by what she called expletives on the trucks against President Biden, describing the flag-flying Trump supporters as sending a clear message: “This is my country … not your country. I own this.” 

“The reality is here that we have a large percentage of the American population — I don’t know how big it is, but we have tens of millions of Trump voters who continue to believe that their rights as citizens are under threat by simple virtue of having to share the democracy with others,” Gay said in response to MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski calling for an investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

“I think that as long as they see Americanness as the same as one with whiteness, this is going to continue,” Gay said, turning to race and adding that “Americanness” and “whiteness” needed to be separated.

Adams Promises a Dinkins-Like Approach to Crime if Elected.... With Pogroms?

 

Speaking on Monday morning on CNN’s New Day program with program host John Berman, Adams said that as a former police officer and a fighter for social justice, he believes that police play an important role in keeping New York City safe, but that their efforts represent only part of the solution to rising crime rates.

“We have to redefine the eco-system of public safety,” said Adams. “Police, they will have a role, but you have so many other components, like mental health professionals, crisis management team. We have to rethink policing in America, so we can get to the source of the crisis.”

Adams punted when asked by Berman if he would model his law enforcement approach after that of Mayor Bill de Blasio or former mayor Rudolph Giuliani, saying that he intends to follow in the footsteps of former mayor David Dinkins if elected. Adams praised Dinkins for supplementing law enforcement with community policing, a formula that he believes will result in a greater balance of justice and safety. 

Describing Giuliani’s approach to policing as “heavy-handed,” Adams faulted the former mayor for his stop and frisk policy that he believes targeted young people based on their ethnicity and where they lived.

“We must use our tools the correct way to keep the city safe, but not to take away the justice of the citizens,” said Adams who was arrested and beaten by police as a 15 year old.

Adams downplayed the nature of heated exchanges he shared with fellow candidate Andrew Yang during last week’s mayoral debate saying, “I wrestled with people who had knives on the subway system during the nineties. I know what it is to go after dangerous people.”

Despite his views on community policing, Adams distanced himself from the views of fellow candidate Maya Wiley, who vowed to cut funding to the NYPD.

“At a time when we’re seeing eight year old children and 10 year old babies being murdered in our city, I just don’t support taking away our law enforcement apparatus as a former police officer and as a person that has fought for social justice in the city,” said Adams.

The Wiley campaign fired back, noting that Adams had endorsed stop and frisk during Giuliani’s tenure as mayor and saying that Dinkins had been too soft on crime, reported the New York Post (https://bit.ly/3p.xLKjA).

“Adams’ amnesia won’t be lost in two weeks,” said Wiley spokesperson Julia Savel. “Democratic primary voters won’t forget about Eric Adams’ hypocrisy.”

Lapid’s Coalition Deal Keeps Netanyahu Out, Handcuffs Bennett, Favors Arabs, Reform

 

Channel 12 News’ political reporter Amit Segal on Monday night exposed some disturbing details about the new Lapid-Bennett coalition agreements which make it look more like a honey trap than a victory for the Yamina chairman (חשיפה: ההסכמים הקואליציוניים המלאים של ממשלת בנט-לפיד). Segal reported: “This is the best-kept political secret in the country, Bennett and Lapid hoped to keep these coalition agreements close to the chest until a day before the inauguration.”

According to the agreement, the coalition government will push a bill that bans from running to the Knesset for four years a politician who has served for eight consecutive years as prime minister (they could have simply written anyone named Bibi or anyone with a bad comb-over). Strangely, this would mean that Netanyahu would have an interest in preserving the 24th Knesset to term since he would be disqualified from leading the Likud should his stint out of office be less than the prerequisite four years. If Netanyahu is forced out for one term, someone else in the Likud would the party’s candidate for prime minister, and Bibi would be 77 by the time he is qualified again.

The agreements stipulate that Bennett will not be able to hold any other ministerial position, not even that of a deputy minister, should the new government be replaced as a result of a no-confidence vote in the Knesset. It makes it look more like a prenuptial agreement between some billionaire and his former housekeeper than a political deal. In essence, Bennett, who was counting on the coming two years to rebuild and expand his base, which at the moment is circling the bottom of the sink, will be prevented from serving in any government other than this one.

Another Bennett plan was dashed by the deal – his hope to talk United Torah Judaism chairman Moshe Gafni into joining, and adding seven more right-wing votes to the coalition mix. The deal determines that the addition of new parties to the coalition will be done only with the approval of Israel Beiteinu chairman Liberman, Labor chairman Michaeli, and Meretz chairman Horowitz. In other words – not gonna’ happen.

Black Teenagers that Murdered Efraim Gordon in Baltimore Arrested

 

Two juveniles and an 18-year-old have been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of a 31-year-old Israeli man who was visiting relatives in Baltimore last month.

Baltimore police said William Clinton III, 18, and a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old are being held without bail in the May 3 fatal shooting of Efraim Gordon. He was shot multiple times in what police said appeared to be a robbery.

The Baltimore Sun reports that Gordon had traveled from Israel to Baltimore for a week’s visit to attend his cousin’s wedding. When he was shot in the Glen neighborhood, he was walking back to his aunt and uncle’s house, Councilman Isaac “Yitzy” Schleifer previously said.
Law enforcement and “the cooperation of the community ... made these arrests possible,“ Schleifer wrote in a Facebook post after police announced the arrests.
“Countless people” came forward with information and doorbell camera footage, Schleifer said in an interview.
Gordon’s family raised $61,000 to return Gordon’s body to Israel and to offer a $30,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest. In an update on the fundraising campaign page, organizers said Gordon “has been buried respectfully.”
“No family should be forced to endure the insufferable pain of losing a loved one to gun violence,” Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement.

Rabbi Eliezer Berland sentenced to 18 months in jail

 



The Jerusalem District Court has approved a plea deal with 84-year-old Rabbi Eliezer Berland who was accused of defrauding millions of shekels from sick and elderly followers.

That disgraced Hasidic leader, who previously served a 10-month sentence for sexually abusing his female followers, was hit with an 18-month prison sentence — 13 of which had has already served — for numerous offences, including fraud, extortion, tax offences and money laundering.

Berland — who headed Shuvu Banim yeshiva which is affiliated with the Breslov Hasidic movement — was arrested along with his wife in February 2020, for conning hundreds of people, including terminally ill patients, out of tens of millions of shekels with false promises of a miracle cure.
The rabbi’s convictions came as part of a settlement that saw Berland plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence, which includes 18 months of jail time, minus time served; a year-long probation period, in eight of which he will have to wear an electronic tagger; a fine of more than NIS 2.4 million as well as compensation to the victims.
“Berland committed a series of acts of fraud against people who appealed to him based on the status that he built and nurtured over the years,” the prosecution stated.

“Berland told those who came to him that if they paid him sums of money ranging between NIS 5,000 and NIS 20,000, their loved one would recover and their illness would go away, all while knowing that the facts he told those who came to him were false.”
“In some cases, after the initial promise was given and the recovery did not come, Berland gave another false promise for which an additional amount was paid."
Berland was also charged with attempted threats after he ordered his followers to “beat to death” some people he believed were acting against Jewish law.

He was also hit with tax evasion and fraud charges after he failed to report the tens of millions he earned from providing spiritual services, and money laundering charges for using various organizations to conceal property he owned.

The Jerusalem District Attorney's Office stated: "Eliezer Berland was convicted after his confession to fraud and extortion through the exploitation of people in distress… He was also convicted of economic offenses, tax fraud, embezzlement of tens of millions of shekels and money laundering offenses.”

Bella Hadid, the Antisemitica Shiksa, Discovers a "Palestine 1939" Football Team ... but they were all Jewish!

 Bella Hadid has over 40 million followers, that's 2 1/2 times more people than the the entire Jewish world population, yet she continues to spew hate against us.... 

well it backfired!

She found a photo from a newspaper that reported on a football game between a Palestine football team and an Australian team in 1939.

This was her proof that Israel was once under Palestinian rule..turns out that the entire Palestine football team was Jewish! Not one Arab!

Of course, as a dumb ignorant shiksa, she has no clue that Israel in 1939 was occupied by Britain who called the land Palestine!
