Nides Teams Up with Germany to Pressure Netanyahu to Shelve Law that Would Limit NGO"s That Are Hostile to Jews !

 

US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week urging him not to move forward with the so-called “Nonprofits Law”, that would limit the ability of Israeli nongovernmental organizations to raise money from foreign governments, hostile to Israel, two Israeli and US officials told Axios’ Barak Ravid on Wednesday.

The bill, initiated by MK Ariel Kallner from Netanyahu’s Likud Party, stated that NGOs that receive money from foreign governments won’t be recognized as nonprofit organizations and will have to pay 65% tax.

The legislation was scheduled to be voted on last Sunday in the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, but Netanyahu shelved it after the US and several European governments vocally opposed the bill.

The Israeli and US officials told Axios that Nides and other US diplomats privately worked for weeks to urge the Israeli government to back off from the bill.

Many other Western countries, including Germany, the UK, France and the Netherlands, also privately and publicly lobbied the Israeli government against the bill, European diplomats told Axios.

Nides' letter to Netanyahu, which has not been previously disclosed, laid out the concerns the Biden administration has about the proposed bill, a US official told Axios.

"We didn’t threaten the Israelis or anything like that, but our message was that this bill is going to get Israel into an international crisis for something that isn’t worth it," a US official said.

The Prime Minister's Office confirmed Netanyahu received the letter.

Earlier this week, Galei Tzahal (IDF Radio) reported that members of the Biden administration had presented Netanyahu with an ultimatum and made clear to him that if he is interested in a meeting with President Biden and assistance in advancing normalization with Saudi Arabia, he would need to shelve the legislation.

Netanyahu, who has been working hard to score a meeting with the US President and is aware of the vitality of American assistance in normalizing ties with the Saudis, had no choice but to capitulate to the American demands.

Chana Nachenberg injured in Sbarro terrorist attack succumbs to injuries 22 Years After Attack

 

Chana Nachenberg, who was seriously injured in the suicide bombing attack at the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem in 2001 and had been in a coma ever since, has succumbed to her injuries.

She was pronounced dead at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening.

With that, the death toll in the attack now stands at 16.

Her father, Yitzhak, said after his daughter's death, "Our daughter, Chana Tova Feiner Nachenberg, died after almost 22 years of heroism. She was supposed to turn 53 years old in one month. 21 years and nine months have passed since the attack, with my daughter unconscious, in a coma, at Reut Hospital in Tel Aviv. About three weeks ago, she was transferred to Ichilov Hospital, where she died this evening."

Chana Nachenberg was 31 years old at the time of the attack and was dining at the restaurant with her only daughter who was three years old at the time, and who miraculously was not hurt.

The attack on the Sbarro restaurant on Jaffa Street in Jerusalem took place on August 9, 2001. The terrorist entered the restaurant during the lunch hour, when it was full of people, placed his hand into the bag he was carrying and set off a powerful bomb.

16 people were murdered in the attack, eight of them children, and another 140 were injured. Three of the terrorists who planned the attack were sentenced to lengthy prison terms but were released from prison as part of the Shalit deal. 

The terrorist who put together the bomb, Abdullah Barghouti, is still imprisoned in Israel and is serving 67 life sentences. The woman who masterminded and aided in carrying out the attack, Ahlam Ahmad al-Tamimi, and then reported on it for Arab media, was released from prison in the Schalit exchange and is a broadcaster on Jordanian media.

Germans Sentence Lady Who Attacked Nazis to 5 Years in Jail

The defendant Lina E. holds a file folder in front of her face as she stands in the hearing room at the Dresden Higher Regional Court (OLG) in Dresden, Germany, Wednesday, May 31, 2023. The court in eastern Germany has sentenced the 28-year-old woman to five years and three months in prison for taking part in a series of attacks on neo-Nazis and other right-wing extremists over a period of two years

 A court in eastern Germany has sentenced a 28-year-old woman to five years and three months in prison for taking part in a series of attacks on neo-Nazis and other right-wing extremists over a period of two years.

German news agency dpa reported Wednesday that the Dresden regional court convicted Lina E., whose surname wasn’t released due to privacy rules, of membership in a criminal organization and serious bodily harm.

Prosecutors accused the student of “militant extreme-left ideology” and conceiving the idea of attacks on far-right individuals in Leipzig and nearby towns. Three men, Lennart A., Jannis R. and Jonathan M., are alleged to have joined up with her by the end of 2019. The men were sentenced to between 27 months and 39 months in prison.

Lina E. has been in custody since her Nov. 5, 2020, arrest. The others have remained free.

Among the attacks Lina E. was accused of helping orchestrate was a 2020 incident in which about 15 or 20 assailants beat a group of six people returning from a ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the firebombing of Dresden. The event regularly attracts neo-Nazis and other far-right sympathizers. Prosecutors said several victims sustained serious injuries after being punched, kicked and hit with batons.

Defense lawyers had called for their clients to be acquitted, claiming the trial was politically motivated.

Far-left groups have announced plans to protest the verdict, prompting police to establish a large presence in Leipzig in anticipation of possible unrest.

Kosherfest No More!

 

Citing buying trends in the food business, Diversified Communications has pulled the plug on Kosherfest, which has been shining the spotlight on the latest trends in kosher for more than 30 years.

An email sent to exhibitors and attendees and posted on the Kosherfest.com website, said that Kosherfest has run its course, adding “there is no longer significant ROI to justify exhibiting at the show.” Kosher food has fallen under the general grocery category in recent years, often eliminating the role of kosher buyers entirely, and making supermarket buyers more likely to attend trade shows with a broader appeal.

“A certified kosher only food show such as Kosherfest is too niche for their attendance,” explained the email.

Deposits made by exhibitors for the 2023 show will be refunded in the next two to three weeks.

Lakewood Guy and AOC Embroiled in Twitter War

 

 Someone is impersonating AOC on Twitter, and she is apparently quite perturbed. And by the way, the anonymous Ocasio-parody has quite a sense of humor.

One hilarious post, viewed nearly 400K times, took a shot at Ocasio’s climate agenda: “To make windmills more effective — when the wind doesn’t blow, we should have helicopters hover over each of them and keep them turning year-round.”

“This is like literally not funny,” the account said, imitating Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘sophisticated’ banter. A later tweet went further: “Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, literally.”

Another tweet said, “If we don’t move to 100% green energy soon – car emissions will kill off the human race just like it did the Dinosaurs.”

“To conserve water and save the planet, I’m not going to bathe until 2027,” one popular tweet said.

8 More Victims of Malka Leifer Suing Chareidie Girl's School in Australia , One "new" Victim Just Settled

 

A former student has settled a legal claim against Adass Israel School, the former employer of convicted rapist Malka Leifer over new allegations of abuse connected to the ultra-Orthodox inner-Melbourne religious college.

The Chareidie woman, a member of the ultra-Orthodox Adass community, filed a suit against Leifer and the Adass Israel School over fresh allegations of abuse.

She settled the case on Tuesday morning, hours before the trial was due to begin.

The new claim comes just a month after Leifer faced a six-week trial in the County Court for abusing sisters Nicole Meyer, Dassi Erlich and Elly Sapper, with a jury finding she raped Erlich and Sapper.
