Apple Blocks Pictures Of Holocaust-Related Sites From ‘Memories’ Albums

 

Apple users who want to include pictures taken at the Anne Frank House, Auschwitz or other Holocaust-related sites in their photo albums will have to work to make that happen, under the terms of a recent software update.

Apple recently changed its software so that pictures taken at Holocaust sites are suppressed from automatically generated albums that can be created through the company's Photos app. The tech news site 9to5Mac first reported the tweak, which affects iPhone and iPad users using the latest Apple operating system, last week.

The change is meant to avoid “creating some unwanted memories,” according to the site, which said only pictures taken at Holocaust-related sites are affected by the change.

Apple's “sensitive locations” protections cannot be disabled, but users can still include the photos in albums that they curate by hand.

Biden with his Chutzpa Conditions His Visit To Israel On No Building In “Settlements”


The Biden administration on Friday warned Israel about its plans to build in the “settlements” and President Biden even conditioned his upcoming visit to Israel in about a month on the issue.

However, Israeli officials told the Biden administration that if the government refrains from advancing the plan to build thousands of homes in Yehuda and the Shomron, the coalition will dissolve, Channel 12 News reported on Motzei Shabbos.  

Yamina MK Nir Aurbach, who issued an ultimatum to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on the building issue, responded to the report by stating: “Construction in the settlements isn’t a decision of a foreign entity, senior as he may be. Whoever doesn’t recognize Israel’s right to build in Yehudah and Shomron is welcome not to come.”

Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked stated that she “welcomes the meeting of the Higher Planning Council in preparation for the construction of about 4,000 housing units…Construction in Yehudah and Shomron is a basic and necessary thing and should be taken for granted.”

Gideon Sa’ar’s New Hope party also issued a statement supporting the move.

According to the report, Israel was set to approve 5,800 homes in the Shomron but reduced it to 4,000 after discussions with Biden administration officials.

“Israel’s program of expanding settlements deeply damages the prospect for a two-state solution,” Deputy State Department spokesperson Jalina Porter said on Friday.

When will it all end?


 It will end when Israel asserts Jewish sovereignty over all its land, including all of Judea and Samaria, over which Israeli civilian law must be applied immediately; 

When we take back control of the Temple Mount; when we take back Gaza and Hevron and evict all its residents; 

When we demolish all illegal Arab construction in Area C and aggressively build Jewish communities throughout Judea and Samaria;

When we enact and implement treason laws and arrest, prosecute, revoke citizenship, and deport all the enemies of the sovereign Jewish state of Israel, be they university professors, members of Knessset, or anyone else. 

It will only stop when we the low party threshold laws that allowed someone with six measly seats to change to betray the majority (who voted four times for a right-wing government) by making an unholy coalition with the enemies of Israel, whose stated nationalist aspirations are antithetical to our own. 

It will end when all citizens are required to demonstrate loyalty to the state by doing their national service, military or civilian, with no exemptions for Israeli Arabs or Charedim — no rights of citizenship without the responsibilities of citizenship. 

It will end when laws are passed to ban flying the Hamas flag, ban the use of the inaccurate terms "West Bank," "settlers" or "illegal settlements" which are lies propagated by our enemies trying to delegitimize Israel and its undivided capital; the accurate terms are citizens in Judea and Samaria, and Jewish communities everywhere in our land. 

Terrorist attacks will stop when people who identify as Palestinians are banned from serving in our national government, a ban which is not racist but nationalist, as their stated goal is to replace Israel with a state of Palestine which they promise will be a truly apartheid, Judenrein, racist state, as Areas A in Israel already are. 

It will stop when we Jews firmly assert our Jewish sovereignty in every sphere of our lives in our national homeland.

Nofar Ben Yiftach, the widow of Oren Ben Yiftach, decries online attacks on her late husband after he drove the terrorists who murdered him.

Nofar Ben Yiftach, the widow of Oren Ben Yiftach, one of three Israeli Jews who were murdered in a  terrorist ax attack in Elad  on Thursday night, has been shocked by the attacks on her late husband following reports that he drove the terrorists who carried out the attack into Elad.  

Ben Yiftach begged the public not to blame her husband for the attack in which he was murdered. "Have mercy on us in our difficult time. It is so easy to spread evil with a finger on the keyboard. Let us mourn without engaging in defense against vicious attacks."

The Ben Yiftach family responded: "We are shocked by the discourse on social media and in the media in the heinous attempt to link our beloved son Oren to the criminal attack, who is himself a victim of it. Oren worked as an honest and innocent shuttle driver for a living. Just as a taxi driver does not check who gets in a taxi - so he is not required to check work or residence permits. This is in contrast to a contractor who employs workers."

The family also said that "Oren drove a rabbi to a Torah lesson and there is no dispute about that. According to the media, at the end of this trip he may have been asked to drive workers to renew a synagogue and he did so without knowing of course that he was driving to his death.As far as we know, Oren fought like a hero against the vile murderers who attacked him when they came to the synagogue with an ax and a knife and slaughtered him as in the darkest periods in the Diaspora of massacres of Jews."

"The family is now focusing on the severe grief that is another blow to a series of disasters that have befallen the family in recent years. All our thoughts are to help the widow and 6 children deal with the terrible loss. We all hope that the abominable terrorists will be caught and executed exactly the way they ended Oren's life.

New York Holocaust Museum bans Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a Dedicated Friend of the Jews

 


Two leading Jewish conservatives ignited a firestorm Thursday when they announced, in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, that the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City had told them they could not hold an event there if Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was invited.

The op-ed was titled “Persona Non Grata at a Holocaust Memorial” and was authored by Elliot Abrams and Eric Cohen, the chairman and CEO of the Tikvah Fund, a think thank that is an engine of Jewish conservatism.

Tikvah had hosted many events at the Holocaust memorial museum, they wrote, but the leadership conference set for June 12 hit a wrinkle — one that Abrams and Cohen said pointed to growing intolerance of conservative ideas.

“Out of the blue, we were told by the museum staff that Mr. DeSantis didn’t ‘align with the museum’s values and its message of inclusivity,’” the op-ed said. “Either we disinvite the governor, they said, or our event was unwelcome.”

Critics of the museum have noted that Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke at an arts event there in 2018, when she was a congressional candidate. The museum’s leadership has changed since then, and the country has grown more politically polarized.
