"Lapid, you have no mandate to relinquish Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem,"

 

I find it appalling that not one Chareidie MK is standing up for Israel to let the demented Biden know that he cannot play with the sovereignty of the State of Israel. Why is it only the Chilonim that won't be "mevatteir" on Israel's security. Is it only about money all the time?

Where are they?

Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Yair Lapid Sunday warning of potential dangers to Israel's sovereignty posed by the proposed itinerary of US President Joe Biden's visit to Israel this week.

"This coming Wednesday, for the first time, US President Joe Biden will land in Israel. We always welcome every American president. The US President's visit to Israel is a very important political event. However, it already appears that the visit will include two unprecedented political concessions: Israeli consent to a Palestinian representation at the Allenby crossing and tacit consent (and even encouragement by Lapid's office) to Biden's visit to Palestinian institutions in East Jerusalem," Danon said.

"Biden is coming to Israel as part of a trip to the Middle East as part of which he will also visit Saudi Arabia where he will meet with representatives of Arab countries. For Israel, the visit comes at a very bad time. The Knesset has been dissolved, Israel is at the beginning of an election process and the Israeli prime minister is a transitional prime minister, lacking political experience who needs every bit of legitimacy and image of a leader to strengthen his position as part of his election campaign.

"In this situation, Israel has no ability to stand up for its interests in the face of American pressure for political concessions that comes along with the president's visit. The Americans recognize the weakness of the transitional government, and the teams already in the country are making concessions that they would never have dared to ask if Israel had a strong national right-wing government today. Lapid, it turns out, is willing to make sweeping concessions to please President Biden.

"An American president has never visited East Jerusalem. Neither Bush the father nor the son, not Clinton, not Trump and not even Obama. The meaning of such a visit is to give the green light to the Americans to challenge Israel's sovereignty in Jerusalem. Lapid as interim prime minister has no mandate to allow such a move.

"As Israel's ambassador to the UN, I headed many delegations of diplomats who came to visit Israel, including two UN secretaries. There, too, there has always been a desire to include a tour of Palestinians in East Jerusalem. It never happened. We have always known how to prevent such moves while conveying quiet but decisive messages.

"I call on Lapid today to refrain from political concessions for a photo op with the President of the United States.

Baruch Lebovits convicted sexual predator has hundreds attending his funeral

 


A cantor from a prominent Hasidic family whose child abuse conviction shook up both his community and Brooklyn politics has died.

Baruch Lebovits died Saturday at 71, 12 years after he was first convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a 16-year-old boy. He was buried in Jerusalem on Monday at a funeral attended by hundreds after a separate large gathering in Borough Park, Brooklyn, on Sunday.

The sendoff offered no indication that Lebovits stood at the center of a saga that had bitterly divided his community and traumatized many within it.

Satmar Hypocrites Bash Belz for Allowing "secular studies" in their Yeshivois

 

👈

The Satmar (ahroinie) Yiddish Newspaper bashed Belz on their front page, because the Belzer Rebbe decided to do the right thing to introduce Math and English into their curriculum, which will entitle them to government funds for each student. 

I wonder what R' Arron Teitelbaum's wife thinks about this as she and the Belzer Rebbe's wife are sisters. I would like to be a fly on the wall, when R' Aaron and his Hebrew speaking Rebbetzin discuss this at breakfast. 

What is interesting to note is that R' Aron Teitelbaum endorsed Hochul for governor and she not only supports LGBT ideas in schools but she is fighting for this. Satmar also takes funding from "the government" and  teaches secular studies in their special public schools in Monroe. In fact the Bnei Yoel a Satmar group that hates both feuding Satmar Rebbe brothers, protest in from of R' Aaron's home on a weekly basis . 

Bunch of hypocrites!

Well respected Rav & Dayan from Bnei Brak Banished and Exiled to Tzfat because he raped a married lady

 A very respected Dayan in Bnei-Brak who was previously a Rosh Yeshiva is the talk of town as he was found guilty by a Bais Din of raping a married woman. The Bais Din first ruled that he be exiled to Chutz Le'aaretz but then decided to keep him not too far  and ruled that he must live in Tzfat as "to keep an eye on him." 

More and more women are now coming out with horror stories about him. 

Below is a video in Yiddish that talks about this "Chushiveh Dayan" 

Litvaks Remove the word "“V’eizon” (I will feed) from the Kesubos In Israel

 

A dramatic halachic controversy emerged during a shiur given by a prominent Dayan from Bnei Brak. The Dayan, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Cohen, noticed that a kesubah printed by a chareidi bookstore chain did not contain the word “V’eizon” (And I will feed), a critical aspect of the husband’s obligations as delineated in the kesubah. The implication is that with such a kesubah a husband would not be obligated to provide sustenance for his wife, which is contrary to the halachic requirement in marriage.

Since the erroneous kesubah has been mass-printed by the popular bookstore chain, it is assumed that there may be thousands of invalid kesubos which contain the mistaken version.

Rabbi Cohen mentioned this point during a shiur at the Shtefanesht Beis Midrash in Zichron Meir where he serves as a poseik. He ruled that anyone who has such a kesubah in his possession must refer to the Rabbi who performed his wedding and ask him to exchange the kesubah for a kosher one.

The dayan mentioned that even though there were loopholes which could enable the kesubah to be validated, it would be correct to exchange the kesubah, since the Nachalas Shiva maintains that such a kesubah is invalid and his rulings are accepted by Ashkenazi poskim.

The Dayan’s ruling was widely circulated and a number of young couples discovered that their kesubah was problematic and asked to change their kesubos. In the meantime, the bookstore has stopped printing the problematic kesubos.

Ami's Chaim Friedlander ... What A Damn Liar!

 





Chaim Friedlander is Ami's Israeli Politics writer. 
In this week's issue he wrote a column about Yair Lapid portraying him as anti-Chareidie. 

I am not a fan of Lapid I think that he is a disaster. 
Having said that, there is absolutely no reason to lie about him, there is enough proof of him hating Chareidim without writing lies!

Friedlander in the above clip  taken from his column, totally dismisses a disgusting incident in Beit Shemesh where a Chareidie adult spat at "seven-year-old girl" on her way to school, and wrote that this incident "has not been confirmed." 

What an unmitigated liar! 
First of all, she was not "seven years old" she was eight years old, her name is Naama Margolis.
Here is a photo of the little girl with her mother Haddassa Margolis while being interviewed on TV. This story went viral and we have a BBC clip below!


Now here is the photo of the Chareidie Adult who did the spitting:




Elon Musk says he’s terminating $44B Twitter buyout deal ... Millions of Fake Accounts

 

Elon Musk’s tumultuous $44 billion bid to buy Twitter is on the verge of collapse — after the Tesla CEO sent a letter to Twitter’s board Friday saying he is terminating the acquisition. 

Twitter did not immediately respond to a message for comment. It is not entirely clear whether Twitter’s board will accept the $1 billion breakup fee or if there will be a court battle over the deal. 

The possible unraveling of the deal is just the latest twist in a saga between the world’s richest man and one of the most influential social media platforms. 

Much of the drama has played out on Twitter, with Musk — who has more than 95 million followers — lamenting that the company was failing to live up to its potential as a platform for free speech.

 On Friday, shares of Twitter fell 5% to $36.81, well below the $54.20 that Musk had offered to pay. Shares of Tesla, meanwhile, climbed 2.5% to $752.29.

 In a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Musk said Twitter has “not complied with its contractual obligations” surrounding the deal, namely giving Musk enough information to “make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter’s platform.”

Harvard University's campus is now a bastion of Jew Hatred

 

Harvard University provides its students with unparalleled knowledge, skills and experiences. Yet, as we Jewish students have witnessed, the routine vilification of the State of Israel — both inside and outside the classroom — indicates that something in Harvard’s contemporary education has gone seriously awry.

In the latest example of this trend, the editorial board of the Harvard Crimson endorsed the movement to boycott, divest, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish state in an April 29 editorial. BDS represents the economic arm of a global effort — spearheaded militarily by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran — to destroy the Jewish state.

China has helped spread four epidemics — and COVID’s not the last

 

Chinese researcher Dr. Shi Zhengli seen working in the Wuhan lab, which many researchers now believe was the origin of the coronavirus that swept the world in 2020.

For more than two years we have lived through a pandemic that no one — no one who doesn’t fall for Communist Chinese propaganda anyway — doubts came from China.  

In fact, the consensus now is that COVID came from the Wuhan lab, something I wrote about in these pages at the outset of the outbreak. In recent months, many of those who had earlier parroted Beijing’s line about COVID coming from a bat cave, including China’s man at the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, have come over to my point of view.

At the same time, there is mounting evidence that the coronavirus was developed as part of China’s bioweapons program.
