'Justice' gone mad Bodega worker charged in fatal stabbing — after fighting back against attacker

 

A hard-working Manhattan bodega clerk who was forced to grab a knife to fend off a violent ex-con, now finds himself sitting behind bars at the notorious Rikers Island jail charged with murder and unable to post $250,000 bail.

The sky-high bail for Jose Alba — who has no known criminal history — was just half of what controversial Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office demanded, despite surveillance video showing the clerk being assaulted by his alleged victim in the bodega.

Alba, 51, was charged with the fatal stabbing of Austin Simon, 34, who can be seen storming behind the counter at the Hamilton Heights Grocery on Broadway and West 139th Street to attack the store worker Friday night.

The dead guy: Simon

“It was either him or the guy at the moment,” Alba’s daughter Yulissa told The Post Wednesday, saying it was a case of self-defense.

“He’s never hurt anybody. He’s never had an altercation where he had to defend himself. This is the first time for him.”

If you charge a $1.75 fee for extra sauce you will get a riot

 Three raging customers trashed a Manhattan eatery in a caught-on-camera outburst over the weekend that left two employees injured, police said.

The wild scene took place at Bel Fries, a fry restaurant on Ludlow Street in the nightlife-centric Lower East Side, on Sunday at 4:10 a.m. and ended with the arrests of three women, according to the NYPD.

Shocking video of the mayhem posted to Twitter shows the trio of suspects hurling glass bottles, a metal stool and other items at employees, leaping over the counter, throwing sauce all over the restaurant and destroying a plastic barrier.

A crowd of people can be heard cheering and filming the chaos with their phones.

Their rowdy tirade started over the women’s anger at the eatery’s $1.75 fee for extra sauce, according to one report.

An employee who is filming the incident tells the women “you’re gonna go to jail” as they hurl items at him — all while an alarm is going off.

At one point, one of three women gives the employees the middle finger and in another moment, a different woman dances on top of the counter.

The trio caused more than $250 worth of damage to the business and injured a 33-year-old female employee and a male employee. Both suffered lacerations to their heads, according to cops.

Bel Fries was forced to shutter its doors to make repairs and recover from the incident and was still not open by Wednesday, according to its Instagram.

Police arrested the three women — Pearl Ozoria, 27, of Manhattan; Chitara Plasencia, 25, of Brooklyn and Tatiyanna Johnson, 23, of Brooklyn on robbery and criminal mischief charges.

Ozoria allegedly punched the cop arresting her in the face and was slapped with additional charges of assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct.

Plasencia and Johnson were each also charged with criminal possession of a weapon.

Shas MK Decides To Donate Kidney, Doctors Find And Remove Growth From His Own Kidney

 

MK Moshe Arbel recently decided to donate a kidney but did not realize that the implication of his decision may have saved his own life.

Arbel had contacted the Matnat Chaim organization founded by Rabbi Yishayahu Haber z’l which has in the past few years sponsored hundreds of kidney donations in Israel. The 38-year-old lawyer, who had previously served as Shas’s legal advisor before become a member of Knesset, started a procedure of tests to determine whether he was a worthy candidate for donating a kidney. However during the tests, an irregular growth was discovered in Arbel’s kidney and he recently underwent an operation to remove the growth.

A relieved Arbel made a celebratory Seudas Hodayah to thank Hashem for the miraculous discovery, which he would never have known of if he had not altruistically decided to donate a kidney.

Arbel said that “Israel is a powerhouse of chesed and leads the world in kidney donations. Hashem gave me the merit of wanting to join this amazing volunteer group and this led to the early discovery of a growth and my speedy recovery. I thank the public for their concern for my welfare and wish to relate that I feel well and thank the doctors for their speedy treatment.”

Agudath Yisrael And Degel HaTorah Eating Each Other Alive

 

Will the UTJ party split? 

Currently the splintered party does not have enough electoral power to split but certainly enough members to bicker and argue. The present dispute concerns the placements of MKs for the November elections, with both Agudath Yisrael and Degel Hatorah claiming the top spot, which influences the rest of the electoral list.

With the departure of Yaakov Litzman, Agudath Yisrael appointed Yitzchak Goldknopf in his place and assumes that according to previous agreements he will be in the top spot, since in the previous election Degel leader Moshe Gafni held the top position.

Agudah officials said after a meeting between faction heads that “an agreement is an agreement and we expect Degel Hatorah to respect it as we did in the previous elections.”

However Degel Hatorah is claiming that since the party was in opposition and only a year has passed since the previous elections, Moshe Gafni should continue to lead the party in the coming elections. Moreover the Degel Hatorah leaders are angry that Goldknopf, an unpopular person due to his employment tactics as head of the Beis Yaakov kindergartens, has been placed on the list and fear that voters will leave the party en masse if he heads the list.

Degel is also at odds with Belz which is now receiving funds from the Ministry of Education but not under the auspices of Chinuch Atzmai.

A final decision on whether Degel will run alone in the elections will be taken by Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, but with the current electoral polls it is unlikely that the two warring factions will be able to go alone.

Chilling New Audio Shows Adolf Eichmann Admitting to His Role in “Final Solution”

 

Newly released audio of Adolf Eichmann YM”S , the architect of the Nazi’s extermination of Jews who went to the gallows denying any wrongdoing, shows the evil mastermind admitting to being a critical cog in the machinery of the Nazi’s “Final Solution.”

Eichmann conducted 70 hours’ worth of interviews after fleeing Germany for Argentina, 15 of which have now been obtained by a dogged Israeli documentary team. The interviews were conducted secretly in 1957 by Willem Sassen, a Dutch Nazi sympathizer and propagandist.

“If we had killed 10.3 million Jews, I would say with satisfaction, ‘Good, we destroyed an enemy,'” Eichmann can be heard saying. “Then we would have fulfilled our mission.”

In another clip, Eichmann says: “Jews who are fit to work should be sent to work. Jews who are not fit to work must be sent to the Final Solution, period,” adding that he “did not care” if those sent to Auschwitz lived or died.

At one point, Eichmann can be hurt commenting about an insect in the room he was in, saying that it had a “Jewish nature.”

The audio recordings form part of the documentary “The Devil’s Confession,” on which $3 million was spent to produce.

Eichmann was captured by Mossad agents in Argentina in 1960 and transported to Israel where he was put on trial. He was convicted and hanged in 1962.

During his trial, Eichmann was adamant that he had nothing to do with the Final Solution.

“It’s a difficult thing that I am telling you and I know I will be judged for it,” he admitted. “But I cannot tell you otherwise. It’s the truth. Why should I deny it? Nothing annoys me more than a person who later denies the things he has done.”

Hisachdas Ha'Ganavim of Satmar Feeding "treifa Chickens" to its communities

 

I have to laugh, to Satmar the OU  and the Rabbanut is chazir treif, they eat Badatz exclusively. 

About five years ago, the Eida Hachreidis  came out with a statement that all chickens are treif except for the "brakel" chicken. Rav Moshe Yehuda Leib Landa z"l from Bnei-Brak  examined the chicken and ruled that this "eida hachrida" brakel chicken was "chazir treif." BTW those who ate this chicken said that it tasted "like road kill." 

The Satmar hooligans who invested millions in this new chicken breed then tried to intimidate Rav Landa but he basically told them to kiss him where the sun will never shine.

Satmar in coordination with the Hisachus Ha'ganavim have  now tried to sell another breed of chicken and will probably release a Kol Korah prohibiting the chickens that we all eat to push this new breed.

Not so fast! Lishkas Hakashrus came out with a statement that this new "Eida" breed is not kosher, signed by Harav Gruber shlitah. I hope Rabbi Gruber is not a member of "Defund the Police" because if anyone ever studied Satmar History, Rabbi Gruber's life is in mortal danger!

Over 50 shot in NYC shootings over July 4th weekend

 More than 50 people were shot — at least seven of them fatally — during a bloody outbreak of gun violence in the Big Apple over the Fourth of July weekend.

The victims cut across a wide spectrum of New Yorkers — from a pair of former college rugby players wounded while sitting in a cab in Midtown to a beloved 62-year-old Bronx neighborhood “grandfather” who was gunned down by stray bullets.

In all, 51 people were shot in 36 separate incidents since Friday, a huge jump from the 32 people shot in 27 shootings over the holiday weekend last year, NYPD statistics show.

Twenty-one of this year’s holiday weekend victims were shot on Monday’s 246th birthday of American independence, including John Edwards, who was known in his Belmont neighborhood as the “Grandfather of the Block.” By comparison, there were 13 people shot on July 4, 2021.

Consumed with Jew Hatred Ben & Jerry’s Sues Parent Company Unilever Over Sale Of Israeli Business

 

 Ben & Jerry’s is not letting go of its West Bank pullout goal without a fight — with its parent company.

The iconic ice cream brand has filed a lawsuit against Unilever over its decision last week to sell the Israeli arm of the business to Israel-based franchise, American Quality Products, Ltd., which will continue to sell Ben & Jerry’s in the West Bank.

Ben & Jerry’s says that Unilever’s decision was made without the brand’s board’s consent, and wrote in a statement on Tuesday that stopping the sale is necessary to protect “the social integrity that the ice cream brand has spent decades building.” The lawsuit will aim to block the sale.

After publicly critiquing the Unilever move last week, the Ben & Jerry’s board voted on Friday to file the suit, the New York Post reported.

“It’s a done deal,” American Quality Products, Ltd. owner Avi Zinger wrote in response. “Unilever chose the morally correct, socially just and principled path when it ensured that Ben & Jerry’s ice cream would always continue to be produced and sold in Israel and the West Bank.”

The Ben & Jerry’s board, which has a history of social justice advocacy, made the decision to stop selling its products in what they call “Occupied Palestinian Territory” following Israel’s deadly conflict with Hamas in May 2021. Unilever originally stated that it had little power over decisions made by Ben & Jerry’s board, which makes its recent decision to sell a surprise.

Disparaging the State of Israel is a shortcoming that seemingly justifies remaining in the Diaspora today

 

Translation of major points of a televised lecture given by Rabbi Eliyahu, Chief Rabbi of Tsfat, in which he emphasizes the importance of declaring the praises of Eretz Yisrael in rectifying the Sin of the Spies who spoke disparagingly about the Cherished Land, a shortcoming still prevalent today. 

HaRav Yosef Caro explains that Moshe sent the Spies to tour the Land of Israel in order that they return full of its praises and thus ignite a passionate yearning for the Land throughout the Nation. This loving fire in their hearts for the Promised Land would then burn away all impurity remaining from the sin of the Golden Calf, making them worthy of entering and conquering the exalted Holy Land.

In the book, “Eim HaBanim Semeicha,” HaRav Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal teaches that just as the Spies went from tent to tent, spreading negative propaganda about the Land of Israel, so we must follow their example - in order to rectify their transgression, we have to do the counteraction of going house to house, shul to shul, community to community, speaking in praise of the Land to inspire Jews to yearn to dwell there.
