Satmar & Bobov "Arse'kanim" Panicking As Zeldin inches past Hochul in Latest Poll

 

Time to kick the "tuchis-lekkers" to the curb and vote Republican, don't let the Ezras' and the Eichensteins boss you around. Your vote counts, go out and vote 

Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin has edged past Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul by decimal points and the race for governor is now a dead heat, a stunning new poll released Friday reveals.

The independent co/efficient survey of 1,056 likely voters shows Zeldin with 45.6% support and Hochul at 45.3% with the rest undecided.

The margin of error for the survey is plus or minus 3.31 percentage points.

Significantly, it’s the first poll showing Zeldin — who has run a campaign focusing on law and order amid a crime surge — running ahead or even with the Democrat governor.

A poll released by the same group in early September had Hochul leading Zeldin, the Long Island congressman, by 6 points.

“The race has been tightening over the last few weeks and it appears that it is now a dead heat. The shift has been led by predominantly white and Hispanic registered Democrats defecting to support Zeldin, the Republican candidate,” co/efficient pollster Ryan Munce said.

Republican Lee Zeldin has caught up to Democrat Kathy Hochul and the race is now a dead heat, according to a new poll.

“With a little under three weeks to go, we still expect to see measurable movement in the statewide electorate and if the trend continues, New York could have its first Republican governor since 2006.”

The same right-leaning pollster predicted GOP underdog Glenn Youngkin’s upset victory over Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia governor’s race last year.

A core finding in the poll was that Zeldin is beating Hochul handily among self-described independents (47%-38%) and voters not registered with either party (59%-28%) – a key block of swing voters he needs to offset the enormous Democratic Party enrollment advantage.

Zeldin said the latest poll showing him with three-tenths of a percent edge over Hochul proves he has momentum during the final stretch run to the Nov. 8 election.

“The stakes couldn’t be higher and the polls couldn’t be closer. We need every single New Yorker who is sick and tired of the attacks on our wallets, safety, kids’ education, and more to come out to vote and Save Our State,” Zeldin said.

Israeli elections 2022: A rundown of Israeli parties and their leaders

 

1. Benjamin Netanyahu – Likud

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister and now head of the opposition, will attempt to win his sixth term as premier. Even his enemies acknowledge his political gifts and strong grasp of economics. He is credited with transforming Israel’s heavily regulated economy into a capitalist, high-tech powerhouse. The most recent polls suggest that this time he will have enough Knesset seats to form a government.

In the recent string of four rapid-fire elections, his right-wing bloc has fallen short of a 61-seat Knesset majority. He came closest in the first election in April 2019 with 60 seats, a tantalizing one seat short. When, on his third try in March 2020, his bloc took 58 seats, Netanyahu entered into a power-sharing deal with Benny Gantz, leader of the center-left Blue and White Party (it fell apart after seven months). The March 2021 election led to a coalition of ideological opposites, glued together, it was widely agreed, only by their antipathy to Netanyahu.

Netanyahu’s chief weakness is his inability to maintain the loyalty of his subordinates. Perhaps his greatest nemesis is Avigdor Liberman, head of the Yisrael Beiteinu Party, once a reliable coalition partner, who started the years-long deadlock when he exited the Netanyahu-led government in 2018. Gideon Sa’ar, leader of the New Hope Party, is the latest Likud leader turned enemy. He, too, has sworn never to join with Netanyahu.

Netanyahu also faces legal troubles. He has been indicted in three corruption cases, accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Although the prosecution has suffered setbacks, the cases continue to be an albatross around his neck.

Netanyahu’s credentials as a true right-winger have been questioned on the right, with his votes in favor of the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005 drawing special ire.

Jonathan Pollard Marries Rivka Abrahams-Donin

Jonathan Pollard, who spent decades in prison before immigrating to Jerusalem at the end of 2020, married for the third time Thursday evening.

Pollard, 68, lost his wife Esther nine months ago to cancer. He divorced his first wife, Anne, in the 1980s, after she was released from prison.

Anne served three years in connection with his spying on behalf of Israel.

Pollard has no children.

His new bride, Rivka Abrahams-Donin, a member of Israel’s Chabad hasidic movement, was widowed and is the mother of seven.

“It is so inspiring to get married here in Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people,” Pollard said, Israel National News reported. “I am so excited, and I want to thank the whole Jewish people for celebrating with us.”

“I’ve conducted many weddings, but I cannot remember any time when I was quite as touched as now,” said Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem and former Chief Rabbi of Israel Shlomo Amar, according to INN.

“All of us, the Jewish people, owe Jonathan so very much, and perhaps one day we will know just how much he sacrificed – not for a single moment only but for decades of travails behind bars,” he added.

New details about firefight which killed Shuafat terrorist

 


Udai Tamimi, the terrorist who carried out the shooting at the Shuafat Checkpoint in which Sgt. Noa Lazar was murdered, was killed in a firefight on Wednesday, after opening fire on security guards at the entrance to Ma'aleh Adumim. A security guard in his 20s was lightly wounded in the hand during the incident.

Ynet's Gil Tamari shared new details about developments that lead to the terrorist's death. At 8:00 PM a resident who was leaving the Ma'aleh Adumim in his car noticed a suspicious individual walking towards the checkpoint at the city's entrance. The resident immediately made a U-turn and reported the suspicious man to the security guards. The guards immediately went into standby, knowing that at any moment the suspect may try to harm them.

The terrorist indeed opened fire on the guards and began closing in on the checkpoint through the nearby bushes and trees. When he was three meters away from the checkpoint, the terrorist attempted to hit the guards. One of the guards reacted quickly and shot the terrorist who fell to the ground.

Another guard attempted to shoot with his rifle but it jammed after a bullet hit the magazine. He pulled out his pistol and began shooting at the terrorist. The terrorist continued to return fire even after he was injured and lying on the floor. The guards continued shooting until the terrorist was neutralized and his weapon was moved away from him.

Troops that arrived at the scene found a homemade hand grenade on the terrorist's person.
