Genes Link Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Once Thought Unrelated
When Chastity Murry had her first psychotic break, she went into her bathroom and downed a whole bottle of pills, hoping to die. Her teenage daughter had to perform CPR to save her life.
Around that same time more than a decade ago, the man who would become her husband, Dante Murry, also lost touch with reality and considered suicide.
Different illnesses led them down similar paths – bipolar disorder in her case and schizoaffective disorder in his – conditions long considered by many to be distinct and unrelated.
Senior Shechem Terrorist Blown to pieces
Tamer Al-Kilani, a senior member of the “Lion’s Den” terror cell in Shechem was eliminated after his motorcycle exploded at 1:45 AM early Sunday morning. The Palestinians claim that Israel is behind the explosion and even published a clip in which a collaborator allegedly planted the explosive device moments before Al-Kilani’s death. However others claimed that Al-Kilani himself had attempted to place the explosive device and it accidentally exploded earlier. Israel has not confirmed reports of its involvement.
Al-Kilani has orchestrated numerous shooting attacks against the IDF in northern Samaria and had even recently sent a terrorist to Jaffa, where he was caught by security forces.
The Lion’s Den group affirmed his death, stating that “the traitorous occupation placed a TNT package. We call on our men to continue their opposition and state that ‘the West Bank is ours and every citizen can enter Shechem.”
Two weeks ago, the PA had asked the IDF not to enter Shechem and had assured that it would try and stop the Lion’s Den terrorists by itself, according to a Ynet report.
In other security activities, the IDF, GSS and border police arrested nine terror suspects in Judea and Samaria. The suspects were taken for interrogation by security forces.

Rabbi Shmuel Knopfler's Fourth Yurzeit ...... Was DIN Torah Contributer
"Der Goy's" Take on the Israeli Elections
The lying headline reads:
"Thousands of Observant Jews, "Bnei Torah" , headed by the Litvishe Ge'doilei Harabanim are expected to congregate at a Huge Knessia this coming Thursday in the Holy Land to support the Prohibition of taking part in the Tumedika Elections!"
I don't even know where to begin to take apart this huge unmitigated lie.
First of all, practically all "Litvishe Ge'doilei Harabanim" are not only for the voting process in Israel, but they call voting "an obligation" a "mitzvah."!
In addition, Litvishe Parties have candidates running in the elections.
Second of all, except for a few "Auerbach Peleg Crazies" which call themselves now "Bnei Torah," they will come out to vote in mass, they vote in bigger numbers percentage wise than the chilonim. Yesterday, R' Deutech who now heads the PelegCrazies under the banner "Bnei Torah" told his Talmidim that Natanyahu called him to make a deal with him in return for votes. I don't know this fellow, Deutsch" but he sure has a wild imagination. Why would Netanyahu call a leader of maybe a couple of hundred crazies, whose policy is not to vote period. Why would he make a deal with a bunch of mishagayim?
Finally, the sheer chutzpah of these Romanian peasants, to call elections in Israel "Tumedika" when both feuding Satmar Rebbe Brothers endorsed a Shiksa as Governor in NewYork, because of promises she made to Satmar Askanim in "yechidus" privately (Hmmmm?).
Hochul stands for "No-Bail" for violent criminals and she backs introducing LGBT studies in all private schools. Satmar's nemeses, Naftali Monster wants Hochul elected.
So again, I ask, which elections are "tumidik?"
What Do You Get by Offering Palestinians a State?

| Palestinian Flag Waiving in Meah Shearim |
For more than 50 years, Israel’s critics have claimed that if Israelis would just agree to create a Palestinian state, the Palestinians would live in peace with them. Well, last month, Israel’s prime minister offered to create a Palestinian state. How did the Palestinians respond? Is the long-promised peace at last dawning upon the Middle East?
Not quite.
At the United Nations on Sept. 22, Prime Minister Yair Lapid announced his willingness to create a non-terrorist Palestinian state. Did the Palestinian Arab leadership respond by announcing an immediate return to the negotiating table to work out the details of the new state?
Hardly. The Palestinians responded with murderous violence. Within 24 hours of Lapid’s declaration, there was a car-ramming attack against Israelis near Havat Gilad that was publicly cheered by the Fatah movement, which is headed by Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas. Another terrorist was caught trying to smuggle several dozen handguns into Israel via the Jordan Valley. Handguns for peace?

China's former President escorted out of party congress
Former Chinese President Hu Jintao was physically removed from the Community Party Congress Saturday and his name was scrubbed from the country’s Internet as his successor tightened his ironclad hold on power.
The frail Hu, 79, appeared to look confused as he was hauled from his seat by a steward who repeatedly tried to lift the older man from his seat, drawing concerned looks from officials seated nearby.
Hu, who was seated next to Chinese president Xi Jingping, then put his hand on a sheet of paper placed on a folder in front of the leader.
Xi quickly put his own hand on the paper.
China’s top legislator Li Zhanshu, seated to Hu’s right, gave the former president’s folder to a steward, wiping his own head with a cloth after Hu finally stood up.
Looking distressed, Hu appeared to resist leaving as the stewards escorted him out, turning back to his seat at one point. On his way out, he exchanged words with Xi and patted Premier Li Keqiang, seated to the right of Xi, on the shoulder.
