NYTimes chooses an Israel hater to report from Israel

 

Delighted to announce that @RajaAbdulrahim is joining the @nytimes Jerusalem Bureau where she will roam widely, writing about Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, with a special focus on Palestinian affairs.

From the Elder of Ziyon Blog

There is definitely justification for hiring a native Arabic-speaking journalist to add to the coverage of the region. However, newspapers should at least pretend to choose journalists who are objective.

Abdulrahim is not one of them.  Not one of her tweets that mention Israel is positive about the country.

She regards Gaza as "little more than an open-air prison:"

Sara Yael Hirschhorn Jewish Anti-semite Who Accused Israel of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ Will Speak At ADL Conference

 

Sara Yael Hirschhorn, an ugly self-hating yente doesn’t deserve to be speaking at ADL conferences against hate when she promotes so many false and hateful smears of Israel.

By Moshe Phillips

The Anti-Defamation League’s upcoming international conference on combatting hate will include a speaker who has publicly accused Israel of perpetrating “ethnic cleansing” against the Palestinian Arabs.

Was she the only speaker available in the who world? Couldn’t the ADL find anyone else?

The ADL says that the conference, titled “Never is Now” and scheduled to take place (via Zoom) on November 7-9, will be “the largest annual summit on antisemitism and hate” ever held.

If the event will indeed be that large, that makes it all the more urgent that the featured speakers not include anybody who has engaged in hateful smears against Israel.

What's the Real Story Behind the Lawsuit Against Israeli Supermarket Shufersal For Hiking Prices To Secular Customers

 

Let's clarify the Supersol issue. Supersol also owns a Chareidei Chain of Stores called "Yesh".... The products in "Yesh" are cheaper than the exact same products in Supersol.

And so the Chilonim are suing Supersol for millions of Shekel. 

So what's behind the lawsuit and their anger, and why are prices cheaper at "Yesh?"

It is possible that some of these lower prices are subsidized by the higher prices of meat that Chareidim buy, or that some is subsidized by the higher prices of the same products at other branches. 

 

Taking them to court for this is a bit populist and stupid.  At the same time, populism means that the general public is unhappy, in this case with the fact that the Chareidi community is a sub-economy which appears to be at the expense of the rest of the country, and THAT needs to be dealt with.  

However, the Chareidi community doesn't recognize that they are living off other people, and they are educated to interpret any criticism of their lifestyle as attacks on Torah.  And THAT is the biggest problem. Until such time as Chareidim, individuals and as a group, can listen to others and hear how their life choices come at a huge cost davka to non-chareidim, we can't move anything forward.  

We will move forward when Chareidim appreciate that anything anyone gets "from the government" actually comes from other people's pockets. 

Biden Must Have Eaten "Chulent" Because He Blew one big Stinky One While Talking to the Duchess

 

President Joe Biden let out a long, loud fart while speaking with the Duchess of Cornwall at the COP26 summit.

Camilla Parker Bowles “hasn’t stopped talking about” the 78-year-old’s “long fart,” it has been reported.

The pair were making small talk at the global climate change gathering in Scotland last week when the president broke wind, according to an informed source that spoke to The Mail on Sunday.

“It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,” the source told the outlet.

Biden met the Duchess during a reception on Monday at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, attended by Prince Charles, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Boris Johnson.

Parker Bowles, who has been married to Prince Charles since 2005, was taken aback by the flatulence.

At one point, Biden closed his eyes for 22 seconds before an aide appeared to wake him up.r

Biden could not keep his eyes open while listening to Eddie Ndopu, a disability rights activist, who began losing the president as he warned that global warming threatened “our ability to grow food and even to survive.”

Biden is the oldest-ever US president and turns 79 this month.

Border officials secretly sent 70 planes of migrants to Florida

 

The US has sent over 70 flights of migrants from the Mexican border to Jacksonville, Florida since the summer — but the Biden administration has not disclosed any information about the clandestine transports, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office claimed.

The alleged flights — which landed in overnight hours — come as officials struggle to deal with overcrowding at border facilities, according to The Washington Examiner.

“Over 70 air charter flights [on] jetliner airliners coming from the southwest border have landed at Jacksonville International Airport,” Larry Keefe, the Republican governor’s public safety czar, told the outlet.

“On average, there’s 36 passengers on each of these flights. And that has been going on over the course of the summer through September.”

Neither the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, nor Department of Health and Human Services would disclose any information to Florida officials regarding the flights, Keefe told the paper.

Missing girl saved by showing TikTok distress signal to motorist

 A North Carolina teen allegedly abducted by an older man was rescued after she flashed a passing motorist a hand sign popularized on TikTok as a distress signal.

The unnamed 16-year-old was at a traffic stop on Interstate 75 in southern Kentucky Thursday afternoon when she made the gesture, according to Fox 8 News. She was a passenger in a Toyota Camry being driven by her apparent abductor.

According to the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office, the motion — a fist enclosed across the thumb placed in front of the palm — “represents violence at home – I need help – domestic violence.”

A driver saw the SOS and called 911, following the Camry and providing authorities updates on their location.

The older man was later identified as 61-year-old James Herbert Brick of Cherokee, North Carolina, who was reportedly on his way to see relatives in Ohio.

Brick’s phone contained a photo of a girl being portrayed in a sexual manner, police said.

He was taken to the Laurel County Correctional Center and charged with unlawful imprisonment and possession of matter showing sex performances by a minor.

The teen had been reported missing by her family on Tuesday.  Laurel County Deputy Gilbert Acciardo said she had initially gone willingly with Brick.  At some point, though, “I think she started fearing for her life,” Acciardo said, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

The TikTok SOS gained popularity during pandemic shutdowns as a way for people to indicate they were in unsafe situations at home.

Satmar Chassidim Visiting Sat-Mare Tell Reporters "This is MY Homeland" "We are coming to rebuild"

Hungarian Jews gettin on cattle cars to their free trip to hell

Listen to the White Bearded Maramorsher "shmuck" tear up and say (1:20 mark) "this is my homeland" 

I'll bet "The Town Crier" never went to the Kotel to shed ONE tear for the destruction for the two Bais Hamikdashs

He is talking about a "homeland" that handed their grandparents, frightened wives & crying children to the Nazis to be shipped on cattle cars to Auschwitz!

One Satmar tzaddik can't even get the proper words out to say how he feels arriving on this cursed land to the Shiksah (0.38 mark)... his friend helps him "it's emotional"!

Instead of cursing the land soaked with Jewish blood, they stand there smiling like chimpanzees, proudly telling the shiksa reporter, "we will rebuild" 

Hey "white beard" what do you think the shiksa that you told that to, is thinking? You think she loves this scene? You think she wants you there?

Watch how "white beard" is looking for a reporter that speaks Hungarian.

 Ivrit is "treif" by this kocker, but the language invented by savages and peasants is "holy" 

I really hope that the One Above is ignoring their stupid and naive comments. Does Hashem want these fools to rebuild in a land that He obviously wanted them out of?.

"we are building a synagogue for our Rabbi" ...

I'm sick, I'm nauseous I'm running to throw up!
 

Satmar Rebbe R' Aron Teitelbaum giving his Shalosh Seuda Toirele in Marmorosh Sighet built over the old shul that was destroyed by the Nazis... the old shul where his grandfather the "Atzi Chayim" was rebbe had a large "Magen Dovid' on it's entrance, I wonder if this new shul has the Magen Dovid!

During #ShaloshSeudas in #Sighetu #Romania this Shabbos w/Satmar Grand Rebbe Aron at the Shul on the same spot of old historic Shul of #Sighet where founding Rabbi’s of the #Siget #Satmar dynasty served for many generations: https://t.co/UD5BogFXMf pic.twitter.com/m6eXIqizSt

Why Was Rav Kook z"l Hounded and Banned by Chareidim?

by Tzvi Fishman

 ASK THE RABBI

Question

If Rabbi Kook was the leading Torah Sage of his generation, as you maintain, why was he scorned by the Haredi community in Jerusalem? Even today his books are banned from Haredi yeshivot?
