Homeless man is good for nothing
Shocking surveillance video shows a good Samaritan getting walloped on a Midtown sidewalk Wednesday morning after he gives a homeless man his coat.
The twisted turn of events began when the 59-year-old victim tried to help Xavier Israel, 25, who was lying on a sidewalk in front of 476 5th Ave. at about 8:40 a.m., according to sources.
Moments after the victim gently covers Israel with his jacket, Israel shoots to his feet and appears to push the man to the ground before snatching the wallet from his back pants pocket, according to footage obtained by The Post.
The victim tries in vain to retrieve his wallet, but the suspect punches him and throws him back to the ground, the video shows.
Israel fled the scene but was arrested a short time later on West 41st St. and 5th Ave., sources said.
Witnesses told police that Israel stuffed cash inside his pants and officers recovered nearly $1,500 from him, according to sources.
Israel was hit with several charges, including assault, robbery and grand larceny, sources said.
The victim refused medical attention on scene.
Wednesday’s attack marked the second time in less than a week that Israel allegedly turned on a good Samaritan.
On Saturday, outside of a building on East 81st Street in the Upper East Side, Israel is accused of pummeling a 49-year-old woman who wanted to give assistance, sources said.
The woman fell to the ground and sustained a cut to her elbow, according to sources. Israel was arrested, charged with assault and released on a desk appearance ticket, sources said.
Israel allegedly assaulted two more victims – a man and a woman – on Jan. 2 inside of Central Park, according to sources.
He is accused of randomly punching the 18-year olds as they sat on a rock inside the green space.
Israel was also busted for the Central Park incident and charged with assault, sources said.

Bnei-Brak Youth are leaving the fold in the thousands
We are losing hundreds and hundreds of children going on drugs, killing themselves .
Just today a child killed himself in Williamsburg and according to a Chareidie askan, this is a going trend. This askan claims that it is far worse in Israel by those raised in Meah Shearim and by the Toldos Avram Yitzchok Chassidius. He states that the boys and girls frustrated with their restrictive lives are killing themselves. I will post an audio by this askan soon.
The Chareidie leadership is blaming this on the internet, on lack of tznees, and the smartphones. They have yet to address this and as long as they don't this will continue ..
The video below discusses the Bnei-Brak Teenagers that are roaming the streets by the thousands.
Hamas Claims they are being targeted by Israeli Dolphins
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization which controls the Gaza Strip, claimed on Monday that the organization's naval unit captured "an Israeli military dolphin that was equipped (with weapons) to attack the fighter fighters of the resistance (Hamas)."
A video released by Al-Qassam Brigades showed a device bearing weapons that, according to Hamas' military wing, had been installed on the back of the captured dolphin.
The video also went over the activities of Hamas operational missions, including extracting a large number of bombs aboard a British ship that sank off the coast of Gaza.

Production of a new television series by the Kan Corporation was abruptly halted, following a mass demonstration by Charedi extremists.
The new drama, “Malach HaMashchis” (Angel of Destruction), was being filmed at a printing house in the Geula neighborhood on Tuesday. According to a report in Yisrael Hayom, dozens of extremist demonstrators lined up outside the production area, shouting “Shaygitz” and “Jewish outcasts” at the actors and crew.
Producers shut down the shoot immediately and say that they are moving production to another more amenable neighborhood.
The crew said that they feared they would be lynched by the angry mob
Police were called to the scene, and the production crew decided to halt filming and dismantle the set, despite a financial loss of tens of thousands of shekels.
The production company released the following statement:
“Due to an intense demonstration which erupted near the set today in Jerusalem, our production crew was forced to halt and evacuate the set despite the high cost incurred, because the safety and well-being of crew members is our top priority. Production will be resumed in a new location.”

Sheryl Ring a dumb Jewish Yenta says Jews Should Stop referring themselves as "the Tribe"
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if an Indigenous person asks us not to refer to Jews as "the Tribe" we should respect that, especially given the origins of the term probably aren't what you think.

This is the way Alexander the Great Looked Like . He is the King that met with Shimon Hatzaddik

He is only days in office and the New Mayor of New York allows non-citizens to vote
The Chareidim influence just went into the trash as the "non-citizens" are not going to vote the way Chareidim want!
American elections should be decided by American citizens!https://t.co/ipGP8d0Xjh

Shlomo Werdiger Shows Will That "supposedly " Names Gerer Rebbe , Gerer Rebbe
It is proof that he wanted the Pnei Menachem as Rebbe after him (known fact).
BUT not that Reb Yaakov Aryeh can't ever be Rebbe.
He writes, that on this particular subject the decision is on the Gerer Rebbe, meaning whoever it is at the helm at the time, be it his brother the Pnei Menachem or son Reb Y aakov Arye or even Reb Shaul Alter
I don't think there is a Gerer Chusid out there that disputes the fact that the Gerer Rebbe's father Reb Simcha Bunim wanted his son to succeed him.
The Will does not make the present Rebbe R' Yaakov Aryeh the Rebbe. Chassidim are arguing that after R' Simcha Bunim was nifter the Rebbistiveh should have reverted back to the Pnei Menachem's son who is R' Shaul Alter.
But Shlomo is not the sharpest blade in the drawer! You can have a lot of money but you still cannot buy brains! The will proves nothing! Back to the civil war!
בוםםםםם!!!
