House Republicans who voted to oust Marjorie Taylor Greene demand Democrats impose same punishment on Ilhan Omar

 

UPDATED!

Nancy now says she WON'T punish Ilhan Omar for comparing the US and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban and insists she has 'the right to make that point' after backlash from The Squad

The eight House Republicans who voted to oust Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments say Democrats should impose the same punishment on Ilhan Omar for her latest comments on Israel.  

The group sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, signed by Carlos Gimenez of Florida, Young Kim of California, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Fred Upton of Michigan, New Yorkers Chris Jacobs and Nicole Malliotakis, and Florida representatives Mario Díaz-Balart and Maria Salazar.

'It is the responsibility of the party's leadership in the House of Representatives to hold accountable egregious words and actions made by Members of the Party. Now is the time for you to rise to the challenge you have set for yourself,' the letter reads.

It called on Democrats to remove her from her seat on the foreign affairs committee, with those signatories removing their own party member Marjorie Taylor Greene from her seat on the education committee for spouting conspiracy theories. 

The Republicans also claimed that Omar accused other lawmakers of 'unconstitutionally pleading allegiance to a foreign sovereign because of their support of the U.S.-Israel partnership' and 'whitewashing' the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

'These comments and policy stances undermine the interests of the United States abroad and weakens the effectiveness of our foreign policy,' the letter reads.

'Her continued involvement as a prominent member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee cheapens the role of Congress in foreign policy decision-making.'

The lawmakers called Omar's comments 'anti-Semitic' and alleged that not punishing her for them would send 'a dangerous signal' that the United States 'tolerates anti-Semitism.'

How did BLM Spend 90 million? Victims of Police Shootings want to know

 

The father of a black teen shot dead by police has joined-in demands to know what Black Lives Matter's $90 million funds have been used for after its co-founder's $3 million property portfolio was exposed.

Michael Brown Sr - whose 18 year-old son Michael Brown was shot dead by a cop in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, added his name to the BLM 10 Plus movement. It is comprised of the original 10 Black Lives Matter chapters, and is seeking transparency and accountability from BLM about how its cash has been used. 

Co-founder Patrice Cullors resigned last month after her $3 million property portfolio was revealed, although those houses were bought with cash Cullors earned through public speaking and books she has written. 

Black Lives Matter took in $90 million in 2020, and was left with a balance sheet of $60 million by January 2021. Around $8 million was spent on expenses, including staffing costs with the other $20 million donated to local chapters and nonprofits.,

Those numbers - and news of Cullors' property portfolio - has led to questions about how BLM is spending its money, and complaints over a lack of transparency from bereaved families previously supported by the group.  

Michael Brown Sr. is perhaps the most notable name to join the BLM 10 Plus movement, Fox News reported.

Anti-Bennett incitement now includes infamous Kabbalistic curse

 

Incitement against Yamina representatives reached new heights this week, with days to go before the Bennett-Lapid government is due to be sworn in.

N12 reported that in an eerie reminder of the events that led up to the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, posters were hung this week calling for a "Pulsa diNura against the evil Bennett," and an employee of the Petah Tikva Municipality said he intended to conduct a Pulsa diNura ceremony against Yamina MK Nir Orbach.

Pulsa diNura is a Kabbalist ceremony in which participants call for angels to bring death upon the subject of the curse. The ceremony was conducted outside Rabin's home in October 1995, approximately a month before he was fatally shot by Yigal Amir.

According to the N12 report, a flyer was disseminated Thursday on social media urging for an "immediate" Pulsa diNura ceremony against Bennett, who the anonymous authors said "wants to attack the world of the Torah."

The N12 report also said that on Wednesday, a protester against Orbach's intention of joining the new government announced he was planning a ceremony targeting the MK. The protester, who works for the city of Petah Tikva, has reportedly planned the ceremony for Saturday evening after Shabbat, but before the new government is due to be sworn in.

In 2005, opponents of the plan to disengage from the Gaza Strip held Pulsa diNura ceremonies against then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and in 2006, the Edah Haredit sect said it was thinking about holding a Pulsa diNura ceremony for the organizers of the Jerusalem Gay Pride parade.

Earlier this month, the Times of Israel reported that a Health Ministry official had been the subject of a Pulsa diNura ceremony for participating in a panel advising on COVID vaccinations for children.

Israel plans to allow individual tourists back into the country starting July 1

 

Israel could ease entry procedures for foreign visitors who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus from the beginning of next month, allowing regular tourists traveling outside organized groups to enter the country for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

International travel to Israel has been greatly limited, due to lockdown restrictions imposed to prevent COVID-19 strains from reaching the country. At times, Israel’s borders were entirely shut to foreigners. Tourists cannot currently travel to the country unless visiting a first-degree relative, and then under restrictive conditions.

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri sent a letter Thursday to Border Authority Director-General Shlomo Mor-Yosef telling him that he had consulted with the Health Ministry Yuli Edelstein, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, and professional teams from various ministries on the matter.

As a result, a decision was taken to allow vaccinated visitors from a list of countries that is yet to be determined by the Health Ministry “to enter Israel with a shortened process that will be put together in the coming days.”

He did not explain what the “shortened process” would involve.

Deri told Mor-Yosef that in light of the COVID-19 vaccination programs in other countries, “there is room to broaden the easing of entry to Israel for foreigners and to change the existing methods of approval that put an enormous load on Israel’s representatives abroad and on the Immigration and Population Authority in the country.”

Deri wrote that the target date to start the pilot would be July 1.

Tourism Minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen welcomed the move, tweeting that “it is about time that Israel opens up to tourism and takes advantage of being a vaccinated country for the benefit of its economy.”

Farkash-Hacohen said that the changes would apply to individual tourists, rather than groups.

In April, Farkash-Hacohen unveiled a four-part plan to restart foreign tourism to Israel in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a global advertising campaign, flight incentives to Eilat, and the reintroduction of large international events.

Israel recently began accepting organized tour groups back into the country.

A national inoculation drive has already seen over half the Israeli population vaccinated against COVID-19 and brought down daily caseloads from the thousands seen at the beginning of the year to just six people diagnosed on Wednesday.

Health Ministry data published Thursday showed there are just 202 active virus patients in the country. Since the start of the outbreak early last year 839,627 people were diagnosed with COVID-19 in Israel and 6,428 are known to have died of the disease.

Israel has largely lifted domestic lockdown restrictions on public life that were applied to prevent the virus from spreading.

WATCH – Anti-Semitic robbers snatch yarmulke, money from Jewish man in NYC

 

Three men on motorcycles robbed and harassed a young Jewish man in Brooklyn before yanking off his yarmulke — in another apparent anti-Semitic attack in New York City.

The hateful holdup — which was caught on video — happened on Metropolitan Avenue and Graham Avenue in Williamsburg on the afternoon of June 2, police said on Friday.

The alleged bigoted bikers approached the 21-year-old and demanded his money while making statements that disparaged Jews, according to the NYPD.

When the victim tried to call 911, the suspects allegedly snatched off his religious headgear and hightailed it up Manhattan Avenue.

The robbers remain on the run, according to police.

Possible mass grave found near Auschwitz

 

A Polish resident has uncovered what may be a previously undiscovered mass grave near the grounds of the notorious Auschwitz Nazi death camp. 

Police and prosecutors in the country are now probing the find after the unidentified resident spotted some 12 human skulls and a number of other human bones along a bank of the Sola river, ABC News reported. 

The gruesome discovery was made near the southern Polish town of Oswiecim when water levels of the river had run low, according to the report. 

Police are probing if the remains are linked to the death camp, but a spokesperson for the Auschwitz Museum told ABC Friday that they were discovered outside of its perimeter. 

More than a million people were killed at the camp during WWII, which was constructed by the Germans during The Holocaust. 

Most of the people murdered at Auschwitz during the Holocaust were European Jews

Lieberman Begins Going After Chareidim

 

The projected Finance Minister of the next government, is slated to be Avigdor Lieberman, who in the past has been no friend of the Chareidi parties. On Wednesday, Lieberman began preparing for his new position as being the person most in control of the Israeli economy by requesting a detailed budgetary expenditure.

The request was published in the economy magazine The Calcalist, which stated that Lieberman specifically requested the detailed expenditure list with regard to money transferred to educational institutions and other bodies that go beyond the national budget, as well as those that were transferred in the past as part of coalition agreements with all of the various parties.

While not only the Chareidi parties received funds that were transferred as a result of coalition agreements in the previous government, but in recent years, the main benefactor of these funds has been the Chareidi parties and their public.

This is not a regular request from every incoming Finance Minister prior to starting his job, so it is suspected among the Chareidi parties that Lieberman wants to delve into the issue in-depth and research just exactly what money the Chareidi public is receiving.

It is feared that he plans on ceasing the transfer of these funds to the Charedi parties and institutions.
