Fatso Nadler took time between donuts to tweet that the Rittenhouse verdict was "heartbreaking" and called for a federal review by the DOJ, He also repeated the lie that Rittenhouse crossed State Lines while armed, which was disproved at trial.
United States Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield appeared on Saturday to wade into the issue of rights groups outlawed by Israel, when she said Washington “support[s] Palestinian NGOs’ role monitoring human rights abuses wherever they occur.”
Israel in late October declared six civil groups to be linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The announcement sparked a firestorm of coverage and condemnations, as most of them received European and international funding.
On Saturday, Thomas-Greenfield, who recently completed a visit to Israel and the West Bank, tweeted: “This week, I had the chance to meet with civil society leaders in Ramallah. I was inspired by their work to advance democracy, human rights, and economic opportunity for the Palestinian people.
“We support Palestinian NGOs’ role monitoring human rights abuses wherever they occur.”

Two civilians were critically and seriously wounded this morning, Sunday, and two policemen were lightly wounded in a shooting attack in the area of the Chain Gate near the Western Wall and the entrance to the Temple Mount.
The terrorist was neutralized by security forces.
The wounded were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem, Hadassah Mount Scopus and Shaare Zedek hospitals in Jerusalem.
Preliminary investigation raises suspicion that the terrorist disguised himself as a haredi man and opened fire with a submachine gun at passersby and policemen who were at the scene. A knife was also found on the terrorist's person.
Police believe that another terrorist played a part in the attack, and that he escaped the scene. Police are conducting searches for him.
The Temple Mount was closed to Jews immediately after the attack.
MDA teams described wounded people in critical condition and moderate to serious condition, men in their thirties.
Aryeh Yaffa, a volunteer doctor with United Hatzalah, said: "This is one wounded critically and one moderately- who is conscious. We provided first aid to the wounded at the scene while performing resuscitation operations on the critically wounded man, who was taken to the hospital amid continued resuscitation efforts."

| Letter from Litvishe Gedoilim Praising Walder when rumors began six months ago |
Nov. 18, 2021 6:40 PM Israel Time
It will be the most eagerly anticipated edition in the newspaper’s history. As Friday's Yated Ne'eman drops on the doorsteps of the faithful in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak, subscribers will scan its pages with the same eagle-eyed vigilance that kremlinologists once read Pravda, for discreet signs of change in the upper Soviet echelons.They are unlikely to find any signs of the storm which for the past week has roiled the mouthpiece of the Haredi-Lithuanian community, and the homes of the senior rabbis who dictate its every word. But there will be one glaring absence:
The weekly column of Yated’s most celebrated writer, Chaim Walder [https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/chaim-walder-acclaimed-israeli-author-accused-of-sexually-abusing-ultra-orthodox-girls-1.10383509], which won't be in its usual space on the editorial page. There will be no official explanation from the paper.
Yated Ne'eman (which translates as 'faithful (or reliable) tent-peg') was founded in 1985 by Rabbi Elazar Shach to express the hashkafa (perspective) – the pure and never-changing ultra-Orthodox [https://www.haaretz.com/misc/tags/TAG-ultra-orthodox-1.5598962] ideology, and it never reports any matter of a sexual nature. Certainly not the allegations of sexual harassment against its columnist who, on Wednesday, announced he was leaving [https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-ultra-orthodox-author-haim-walder-quits-public-life-amid-sexual-abuse-allegations-1.10395783 - see below] all his public posts.
Walder was left with very little choice but to jump, at the last moment, before he was pushed. Since the publication in Haaretz last week of Aaron Rabinowitz and Shira Elk’s investigation [https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/chaim-walder-acclaimed-israeli-author-accused-of-sexually-abusing-ultra-orthodox-girls-1.10383509] into the multiple accusations against him, the biggest question looming over his future would be whether he would get to keep his column in Yated.
He assumed that he was too big, too popular and influential to fall. But on Wednesday the paper’s management told him to resign or be fired. He had lost the rabbis’ backing.
You don't have to understand one word of Hebrew to see what's going on.
Nooooooo their children didn't convert to Islam, noooooooo they didn't go off the derech, they follow Rav Shaul Alter!
I'm telling that this is crazy and is a reflection of what is going on to all Chareidie groups, if a child leaves one side to go to another, then that is catastrophic ...
Something terrible is going on in the Frum world of chunuch!
Not guilty on all counts: That verdict comes as no surprise to anyone who’d paid close attention to the Kyle Rittenhouse trial but may shock those who relied on horrifically biased media accounts.
Nearly all the early media tropes proved false: He didn’t bring the gun across state lines; he had major roots in Kenosha including his day job and much of his family. He wasn’t a militia-wannabe but an aspiring cop/firefighter/EMT.
Absolutely nothing suggests he was a “white supremacist,” as no less than Joe Biden claimed right before last year’s election.
And the men he shot were all attacking him when he pulled the trigger; all were white, and at least two had histories of violence.
None of this makes him a “patriot,” as ideologues on the other side insist. But the evidence for self-defense was rock-solid.
New York pols also treated the verdict as some kind of injustice, including Mayor de Blasio, who wants to free every criminal in Rikers but called the Rittenhouse decision “disgusting and it sends a horrible message to this country.”
Maybe that’s because the haters stuck to their narrative for months, even as the trial exposed the core facts.
The worst — MSNBC’s Joy Reid, for one — will never let it go. You can see them practically begging for there to be riots, an incredibly irresponsible position for Kenosha and the nation. Let’s hope no one listens to them.
The rank, politicized distortions of fact here — and in so many other recent incidents — should teach everyone once and for all not to trust instant analysis or agenda-driven reporting. When the facts played out via the proper judicial process, common sense and truth prevailed.
May that lesson sink in widely, not least with the man in charge of upholding America’s institutions and leading the nation to unity.
