This…is…INSANITY.
FIRING doctors and nurses.
Just a few months ago, we were (rightly) calling them heroes.
This makes no sense. https://t.co/UAHOsLFkWR

בתיעוד החדש שעוד לא פורסם - שמתעד את מה שקרה כשעה לפני תחילת האסון, נראים מאבטחים פרטיים נמצאים באזור האסון.
המאבטחים נראים מעט אבודים, ומזיזים מדי פעם את המחסומים - מסיבה שאיננה ברורה וכמובן שבתיעוד,
"איפה הציבו את המחסומים האחרים?", שואל שוורץ ומפרשן: "האם חלקם המשיכו לעמוד שם גם אם רק בצידי הדרך, ולא בחסימה מלאה, והביאו בין היתר למכשול לחלק מהנדחסים. כי הרי רבים מהעדויות של הניצולים זה שהיה מחסום, גם אם נופל, או מוזז. משהו היה שם עם המחסום. והתיעוד הזה מעלה את השאלות".
ממידע שהגיע לידי 'כיכר השבת', מדובר במאבטחים פרטיים, שככל הנראה נשכרו בידי אחת מהחסידיות שביצעו הדלקה במקום. עד עתה לא ברור, מדוע אנשי האבטחה הזיזו את המחסומים והאם היה מי שנתן להם את ההוראה הזו. מה שברור מכל התיעודים שפורסמו, זה שלמשטרה לא הייתה נוכחות במקום, כבר כשעה קודם שהחל מרחץ הדמים.
בכירים במשטרה הגיבו על הסרטון הראשון ואמרו: "מנסים להטיח אשמה במשטרה, לפיה המשטרה אחראית על הכשלים שהיו בהר מירון - בעת שמתקיימת ועדת חקירה ממלכתית".
Antarctica has reached record low temperatures in the past six months, data shows.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) noted, CNN reported, "for the polar darkness period, from April through September, the average temperature was -60.9 degrees Celsius (-77.6 degrees Fahrenheit), a record for those months."
The time distinction from April through September refers to the period of polar darkness. In the case of the South Pole, this polar night occurs when the sun sets and darkness envelops the land, lasting from the spring equinox to the autumn equinox until the sun rises again.
In the winter of 2021, the continent of Antarctica experienced its second coldest winter and recorded temperatures in the months of "June, July, and August, [at] 3.4 degrees Celsius (6.1 degrees Fahrenheit) lower than the 1981 to 2010 average at -62.9 degrees Celsius (-81.2 degrees Fahrenheit)," according to the new NSIDC report.
"This is the second-coldest winter (June-July-August months) on record, behind only 2004 in the 60-year weather record at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station," according to the NSIDC.

Hadassah Ein Karem Medical Center in Jerusalem
The US magazine Newsweek published its annual World's Best Specialized Hospitals list this week, listing what it deems to be the world's best providers of specialty care in a number of vital fields. The list features three Israeli medical centers.
The magazine ranks the top 250 hospitals for cardiology and oncology, the top 150 for cardiac surgery and pediatrics and the top 125 for endocrinology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, neurology, neurosurgery and pulmonology.
According to this year's rankings, Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer is No. 42 in the world when it comes to cardiology care. The Heart Institute at Hadassah Ein Karem Medical Center was ranked No. 173 for cardiology, and Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center's cardiology care was ranked No. 204.
Hadassah's oncology care also came in for praise, with the hospital's Sharett Institute of Oncology, located on Mount Scopus, ranking 211 in the oncology section.
Sheba's neurosurgery and gastroenterology departments also performed well, coming at No. 40 and 44 in each category.
Sourasky's Orthopedics Department was ranked No. 123 in that category.
Throughout history, empires have exercised their long-range power through client or vassal states. A vassal state is a state that is economically, politically, and/or militarily subordinate to another more powerful state in international relations.
Israel is currently a vassal state under the protective diplomatic umbrella of the United States. Both sides have benefited greatly from the relationship and Israel feels like it has a powerful patron to protect it from various existential and non-existential threats.
Modern Israel has been a vassal state to the United States since its reestablishment in 1948. Israel has always fought its wars with its own soldiers but has relied on America for diplomatic protection and for the supply of military hardware when needed. In return, Israel has done what America tells it to do even if it goes against Israel's interests. For example, Israel removed Jews from their lawful homes in Gaza and gave those homes and farms to Muslim terrorists who now use that territory to launch missiles at Israel's cities.
German Jewish singer-songwriter Gil Ofarim said a hotel in Leipzig denied him entry for wearing a Star of David necklace, Deutsche Welle reported.
According to the musician, who is the son of the late Israeli musician Abi Ofarim, the hotel said that if he did not put away the Star of David necklace he was wearing, he would not be allowed to check in.
In a video posted to social media, Ofarim recounted that when he attempted to check in to the Hotel Westin in Leipzig on Monday, a long line formed due to problems with the hotel computers.
Eventually, Ofarim noticed that the rest of the line was being ushered forward but he wasn’t.
Ofarim said that he asked the desk clerk, “What's going on? Why is everyone else being called up ahead of me?"
He was told by the employee that they were trying to fix the issue but he did not let Ofarim move ahead in line.
The singer then stated that “someone called out from the corner: 'Put your star away.”
Ofarim said that the hotel worker again asked Ofarim to take off or hide his Star of David.
He said he was told, “Once you put it away, then you can check in."
At the end of the video, Ofarim, who holds back tears, ends by saying the words, “Germany, 2021.”
Thanks to a citywide shoplifting tsunami, bare necessities are now rare luxuries on drug-store shelves across New York City.
“It looks like the Third World,” bemoaned one Manhattan resident, after eyeing the aisles of a CVS on Sixth Avenue in Soho desperately low of toothpaste, face wash and hand sanitizer, among a long list of other items.
“They’ve all been stolen,” a CVS employee told The Post.
State bail reform laws make shoplifting a promising career option for some New York City crooks. One man, Isaac Rodriguez, 22, of Queens, was arrested for shoplifting 46 times this year alone, The Post exclusively reported last week.
The blame goes straight to the halls of power in Albany, said New York City top cop Dermot Shea.
“Insanity,” the police commissioner tweeted last week in response to The Post report. “No other way to describe the resulting crime that has flowed from disastrous bail reform law.”
