Chareidie Cleaning Lady Needed Extra Cash so She sued Sara Netanyahu but the Court won't have any of that and throws out her case

 A labor court rejected on Wednesday the claim of abuse by a woman who worked as a cleaner for Sara Netanyahu at the Prime Minister’s Residence.

The Jerusalem District Labor Court ruled that Shira Raban’s version of events was unreliable, and she had failed to prove there was abusive behavior on Netanyahu’s part when she worked as a cleaner for the wife of then-prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The court also said that Raban’s claim that the alleged abuse went on for a prolonged period could not be proven due to the fact that Raban only worked at the residence for a short period of time, and the defense provided evidence that she and Sara Netanyahu were never alone on the same floor.

Despite the dismissal of the lawsuit, the court decided that in view of the plaintiff’s financial situation, she would not be compelled to pay the legal expenses.

In their verdict, the judges wrote that while the legal defense of working conditions should be maintained, it was not without limit.

“Although the growth of this cause should be welcomed, given the significance it has for preserving the rights of workers and formulating a proper standard for a respectful work environment and proper working conditions, it is worth remembering that this cause is not unlimited,” the verdict read.

Responding to the ruling, Netanyahu said that she had paid an “unbearable” price over four years of legal wrangling.

“After countless news shows and newspapers led to four years of blood libels, today the court threw out Shira Raban’s claims on all levels,” the statement read. “The price paid by Sara Netanyahu is unbearable. Who will give her back her good name and who will apologize for the malicious slander that was presented to the public as absolute truth?”

In a Facebook post, her husband, Benjamin Netanyahu, called the ruling “the end of another shameful chapter in the false smear campaign against Sara Netanyahu.”

Sara Netanyahu was sued by Raban, who worked as a cleaner at the Netanyahus’ official residence in Jerusalem for a month in 2017 — a total of 20 working days.

Raban alleged that the then-prime minister’s wife insulted her relentlessly throughout her short tenure. She filed her lawsuit shortly after leaving her position, claiming NIS 225,000 ($69,000) in damages.

Raban claimed she was forced to endure unacceptable conditions by Netanyahu while working on the second floor of the residence.

Some of the former employee’s complaints included not being allowed to take leave when one of her children was sick, and being forced to use the bathroom outside the main building. She also claimed that the prime minister’s oldest son, Yair Netanyahu, would conduct cleanliness inspections.

Netanyahu allegedly forbade Raban to eat, drink, or rest, and she was required to change her clothes dozens of times a day. She was also required to wash her hands about 100 times a day with hot water, and was expected to dry them with a towel separate from the one used by the Netanyahu family, the lawsuit charged.

EXPLAINER: Ukraine Crisis – Why is Putin invading now?

 

Vladimir Putin is on a crusade to rebuild the former Soviet Union. In a sense, Putin believes that the old regime is still intact, and the downfall of Communism was merely a hiccup. (Like most dictators, he is delusional about his empire.)

He’s described the collapse of the Soviet Union as the “disintegration of historical Russia” and considers Ukraine’s leaders as running an “anti-Russian project”. He has said that Ukraine and Russia are one country.

It’s important to understand Putin’s psyche, to recognize his true motives. Putin is a narcissistic sociopathic megalomaniac. He has poisoned political enemies with toxic nerve gas. He used his own daughter as a guinea pig for the Russian Covid vaccine. He dissolved the Russian parliament and altered the constitution, so that he could be a lifelong dictator.

Putin is obsessed with, well…Putin. He craves the approval of his citizens, taking photo ops of himself shirtless on horseback and flying a hang glider.

It’s hard to comprehend, yet many Russian citizens worship him, and soak up his bogus vicious propaganda against the United States.

For First Time, Romanian Officials Commemorate Holocaust Refugees Who Died In Sunken Ship 80 Years Ago

 

Romanian officials for the first time commemorated the victims of the sinking 80 years ago of the Struma, a ship that carried hundreds of Holocaust refugees from Romania.

The ceremony Tuesday took place in the coastal city of Constanţa in southern Romania, from which the ship set sail in 1941 with 770 refugees, including more than 100 children, aboard.

In 1942, a Red Army submarine mistook the Struma for a hostile vessel after Turkish authorities towed it away from its dock in Istanbul and left it in international waters without a working engine or an anchor. The sub torpedoed the ship, leaving only one survivor.

Activist for Settlers Finds out Her Biological Parents are Muslim

 

A prominent far-right Jewish activist has been forced to reexamine her beliefs after finding out her biological parents were Muslim, she acknowledged in an Israeli television report broadcast on Sunday.

Or Leibler, 22, has become a well-known figure among both Muslims and Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem.

She became increasingly involved with far-right groups in the capital following last year’s 11-day war between Israel and the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group, Channel 13 news noted, attending protests organized by Lehava, a far-right and Jewish supremacist group that opposes the intermarriage of Jews and non-Jews, and openly sharing her extreme ideology influenced by the late Rabbi Meir Kahane.

Despite living in southern Israel, she would make weekly commutes to one of Jerusalem’s most explosive areas, while walking around with an Israeli flag. Her activity has been described by some as a deliberate attempt to cause provocation, a claim she strongly denies.

“In this day and age, in the State of Israel, being Jewish is provocative,” she insisted.

Leibler regularly shared videos of her confronting Arabs near Damascus Gate, one of the main entrances to Jerusalem’s Old City, located south of the flashpoint neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.

“Anyone who supports Palestine is a potential terrorist,” she said on one occasion. “I have a problem with Palestinians who don’t recognize the State of Israel… who don’t recognize me as a Jew who belongs here. I see them as murderers for all intents and purposes.”

In another video, she can be seen holding an Israeli flag, saying, “this flag represents love and peace,” while telling a nearby Arab activist waving a Palestinian flag that his flag “represents murder and Jew-hatred.”

Outrage as Canadian single mom on minimum wage has bank account frozen for donating $50 to Freedom Convoy

 

Canadian MP Mark Strahl tweeted Sunday that the bank account of a single mom called Briane was frozen after she gave $50 to the Freedom Convoy

Authorities say 206 bank accounts had been frozen under the power granted by federal emergencies act

Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair told CTV on Sunday that the act it ‘isn’t targeted at small donations’

The powers have been in effect since last week, but Parliament is expected to ratify the action on Monday

Financial accounts of those who refused to leave the protests in Ottawa will remain frozen while the act is in force

Canadian trucker Derek Brouwer told Fox News that his accounts have been frozen since Friday, and his truck was seized

The Ottawa protests – the movement’s last major stronghold – appeared to be largely over by Sunday. Fencing and police checkpoints remained

A Canadian MP says the bank account of a single mom with a minimum wage job has been frozen after she donated $50 to Freedom Convoy. Conservative lawmaker Mark Strahl says the mom, named only as Briane, has had her life ruined for donating the small sum to the anti-vaccine mandates protest. 

Strahl shared Brianne’s story as concerns grow that scores of ordinary people will no longer be able to pay for food and basics after their accounts were frozen for donating to a group of protesters. ‘Briane is a single mom from Chilliwack working a minimum wage job. She gave $50 to the convoy when it was 100% legal. She hasn’t participated in any other way. Her bank account has now been frozen. 

This is who Justin Trudeau is actually targeting with his Emergencies Act orders.’ 

Israel Reveals Scandalous Details Of the Satmar Nuclear Deal With Iran

 

You guys were probably laughing reading the headline "Satmar's Nuclear Deal with Iran" but this is no laughing matter. It was Satmar that backed Hussain Obama in this deal and it was R' Aaron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe from Monroe that tried sabotaging the then Israeli PM Netanyahu from addressing the US congress to point out the dangers!

The Satmar Rebbe wasn't at all concerned about the 5 and half million Jews living in Israel, all he cared about was how much money he would be able to get for his moisdois from the Obama administration.

Ezra "the capo" Friedlander worked feverously behind the scene to get Holocaust survivors to support the deal, and was Fat Nadler's stooge, when the fatso tried explaining why he voted for Obama's Iran deal.

Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday excoriated the nuclear deal the Biden administration is planning to sign with the Islamic Republic, saying that it will lead to “a more violent, more volatile Middle East,” and Israel will pay the price.

Speaking on Sunday at the Conference of Presidents of the Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem, Bennett noted that the agreement’s 10-year limits on enrichment are still set to be lifted in 2025 – “leaving Iran with a fast track to military-grade enrichment. And in the time until it sunsets, they won’t even have to destroy all those centrifuges they developed over the past few years.”

Russia Has Lists Of Ukrainians ‘To Be Killed Or Sent To Camps’

 

 US intelligence sources claimed Sunday that Russia has lists of Ukrainians “to be killed or sent to camps” in the event of an invasion.

In a letter to the UN Human Rights High Commissioner Michelle Bachelet, the US alleges that Moscow’s post-invasion planning would involve torture, forced disappearances and “widespread human suffering.” It does not describe the nature of the intelligence behind its assessment.

The letter warns of a potential “human rights catastrophe” after Russia invades the Ukraine. Additionally, the letter says the US has “credible information that indicates Russian forces are creating lists of identified Ukrainians to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation.”

“We also have credible information that Russian forces will likely use lethal measures to disperse peaceful protests or otherwise counter peaceful exercises of perceived resistance from civilian populations,” the letter, signed by the US’s ambassador to the UN Bathsheba Crocker, concludes.

Russia, which has denied any hostile intentions towards the Ukraine, has currently  amassed more than 150,000 troops on its border with the Ukraine, according to foreign intelligence assessments, which also claim that a battle directive has already been issued to the troops.

The Daily Mail reported that convoys of military vehicles painted with the letter Z were seen moving toward the border with Ukraine. The markings are suspected to have been allocated for specific roles or army groups.

Russia is seeking a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO and that the Western alliance will remove forces from Eastern Europe, demands the West has refused. Despite talks of a possible summit meeting between US president Biden and Putin over the Ukraine crisis, the Kremlin says there are no ‘concrete plans’ for such a summit at present. US sources say the summit, being brokered by French president Macron, is conditional on Russia not invading the Ukraine.

After Significant Price Hike, Rabbi Aviner Says: Don’t Buy Hamantaschen This Year

 

Rabbi Shlomo Chaim Aviner, the rabbi of Beit El and head of the Ateret Kohanim yeshiva has called on Israelis not to eat hamantaschen this year, in the wake of a significant hike in their price in Israel. Rabbi Aviner wrote that : a) there is no source for eating hamantaschen b) they are unhealthy c) the price has risen steeply.

Regarding the source for hamantaschen, Rabbi Aviner writes that there is no early source for such a custom and even though all kinds of explanations were given for the custom they cannot establish the custom. The actual source for the term has nothing to do with Haman’s ears but rather because a stuffed pastry which contains poppyseed is known in German as “mohntaschen” which became confused with hamantaschen.

Moreover the pastry is unhealthy and contains large amounts of sugar, oil and caloric content. Rabbi Aviner cites the Rambam (Hilchos Deos 4) who states that a person should eat healthy food as this is Hashem’s will. He adds that “one hamantaschen will not cause damage but we eat enough unhealthy food all year and there is no reason to add more out of belief that there is some holy custom attached to it.”

As for the prices, in Israel a kilo of hamantaschen used to cost between 30-50 NIS but currently the price has reached 140 NIS in some stores. Rabbi Aviner cites the Mishna Berura (Orach Chayim 242) who says that “if the fishmongers are hiking the prices, it is correct to make a ruling not to buy fish for a few weeks until the price returns to normal.” Thus there is a basis for not purchasing even a religiously required food like fish for shabbos if the price has risen beyond the means of average people and certainly hamantaschen can be boycotted if their price rises so steeply.

Israeli Rabbi Visits Tehran’s Bazaar, Taking Selfies While Talking Hebrew

בלב טהראן בלבוש חרדי מלא: הרב יעקב הרצוג, שמאז הסכמי אברהם פועל להקים קהילה יהודית בסעודיה, ביקר בטהראן ושיתף בזמן אמת תיעודים מהביקור

I just want to know the make-up artist that put his beard on! It looks fake to me.

He went to visit Mordechai & Esther's grave in Iran. It's located in the Iranian city of Hamadan, which is about 335 kilometers west of Tehran.

Many years ago when I was just a Yeshiva Bachur, I took a tour with Gefner Tours and he took us to Esther Hamalkas's grave in the upper Galilee, near Tzfas.. In fact as early as 1215, R' Menachem Ha'Chevroni wrote that while visiting the Galil, he came across the tomb of Esther Ha'malka " who instructed her son Cyrus to bring her there" 

So who really knows?

Anyway, this tzaddik has a smartphone and took a bunch of selfies..my kind of rabbi 

As they say in Yiddish:

"es fehlt nisht kein meshigaim"

Yeshiva Student Jailed By IDF For Desertion Demands Kosher Badatz Food

 

There isn't one Yeshiva Bocher sitting in an Israeli jail for not going to the army..not one!

So why is this tzaddik in jail?

Because he refuses to register. Even the "Toldos Aaron" extremists register for the IDF and yes even Satmar boys. But the Auerbach crazies refuse to register.

So how come he got arrested and not the hundreds of the Auerbach crazies?

This tzaddik decided to go to Eastern Europe to visit the cemeteries in middle of the zman. A "groiser tzaddik" who skipped his Torah shiurim but insists on Badatz Food!. 

He was arrested for "desertion" at the airport as he was getting on a plane!

Israeli jails serve kosher food and it was kosher enough for the "Geat Tzaddik" Berland and other "tzaddikim"

The "ukel" eventually got his Badatz food!
