Pushing Back: 75K Reservists Sign Anti-Refusal Petition Overnight

 

With little or no financial support and no ad agencies promoting their message, right-leaning and other sane rank & file Israelis are beginning to reverse the tide of the anarchist attack on Israel’s democratic institutions, most importantly the ideas of one-man one-vote, and if your side lost the election, you don’t get to push your ideas through violence.

And so, on Monday afternoon, Channel 14’s host of the popular political show “The Patriots,” Yinon Magal, launched an online petition calling on anyone who has served in the IDF to join the side of citizens who oppose the refusal to serve.

The Reservists’ Petition – We Oppose the Refusals!” states: “We, male and female soldiers in the past or the reserves in the IDF oppose the refusals and are loyal to the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. We will serve the State of Israel because it is our only state – and we will protect her at all costs!”

Anarchist Walks Into Traffic Gets Seriously Hurt But Ambulance Cant Get to Her Because of the Protestors

 




A female protester about 40 years of age was seriously injured on Tuesday morning near Ra’anana when she walked into traffic on Highway 531, where a protest was taking place, and was hit by a passing car.

She was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah sedated and ventilated.

Witnesses of the incident said that the woman was driving on the highway and apparently deciding to join the protest, she suddenly stopped her car and got out, and was hit by the car driving behind her. The driver, an Arab-Israeli, stopped his car and got out “in a state of shock.”

It took some time for an ambulance to reach the woman as the highway was blocked by protesters.

The driver was detained for questioning but the police said that it is clear that the incident was an accident and not intentional.

Demonrats Will Ban Words “Husband” And “Wife” from Federal Law

 

Demonrats in the House of Representatives are so bent on transforming reality that they have introduced new legislation, the “Amend the Code for Marriage Equality Act,” put forth by California Democrat Julia Brownley, that would remove the terms “husband” and “wife” from federal law, replacing them with gender-neutral alternatives such as “spouse.”

The proposed bill aims to address existing laws that fail to recognize the constitutional right of same-gender couples to marry, despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.

In a statement released last Friday, Brownley said Congress must reaffirm its commitment to equality, particularly in the face of recent rulings by the conservative Supreme Court and state legislatures. She emphasized the importance of aligning federal statutes with the principles of inclusivity and justice, arguing that the words embedded in laws carry significant meaning and should reflect the values of the nation.

The “Amend the Code for Marriage Equality Act” targets several federal laws for amendment, including the “Ethics in Government Act of 1978,” the “Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993,” and the “Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971,” among others. By substituting the terms “husband” and “wife” with phrases like “a married couple,” “married person,” and “person who has been, but is no longer, married to,” the legislation aims to ensure that all marriages are recognized and respected under federal law.

The bill comes on the heels of a recent Supreme Court ruling in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, which saw a majority decision favoring First Amendment rights over LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections.

‘CHAZAL were against people being poor’ ... RAV ELIEZER STEINBERGER:


LISTEN TO THE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:

 A signed letter, the Rabbanim said, in part, “…we have now heard that people are planning to establish an institution called a yeshiva gedolah which mixes the holy and the profane, Heaven forfend, in the city of Beit Shemesh. It is our duty to warn against this and to raise a huge storm to alert the Yere’ei Hashem wherever they are that they should not send their children and disciples to this place or give them any support G-d forbid.”

Rav Eliezer Steinberger is Rosh Yeshiva of Nishmas HaTorah, a Charedi yeshiva that incorporates secular studies into its curriculum. In a fascinating, compelling and informative interview, he explains why there is a huge need for this type of yeshiva, while at the same time, explaining the perspective of the Gedolim as well.

In the episode of the VIN Podcast, the addressed the following questions:

  • Is learning secular studies ideal or only ‘b’dieved’?
  • Is it strictly for parnassah or for philospohical reasons as well?
  • Were the yeshivas in Europe unanimously opposed to secular studies? What was Rav Hirsch’s opinion?
  • The need for parnassah for the sake of a family’s mental health and ability to properly function
  • Why do American yeshivas teach secular studies?
  • Did Rav Shach z”l oppose yeshivas teaching secular studies in all cases?
  • His thoughts on the Gedolim’s ban of the yeshiva in Beit Shemesh

Egged Bus Blocked By Chareidi Protesters In Bnei Brak- Because The Driver Was Female

 

Charedim waiting for an Egged bus in Bnei Brak Sunday blocked the bus when it arrived in protest over the driver- who was a woman. “They refused to enter and prevented her from continuing the route,” passersby reported.

The bus, No. 146 travelling from Bnei Brak to Holon, was on the route in the early afternoon when it was stopped by passengers who demanded to ride on a bus which is not driven by a woman.

The Egged company responded to the incident, stating that “this was a serious and disgraceful incident and we sharply condemn harming workers of the Egged bus company who are faithfully performing their jobs. The 146 bus from Bnei Brak was blocked by an extremist group of hooligans who do not represent the residents of the city. We hope that law enforcement authorities will bring these hooligans to justice so that attacks of this type will not repeat themselves in Bnei Brak or in any place in Israel.”

Gender separation is a controversial issue which is frequently in the headlines. In 2011 the Supreme Court ruled that gender separation on buses is only permitted with the agreement of all the passengers. There are Mehadrin buses in may chareidi enclaves. Deputy transportation minister Uri Maklev favors the establishment of “separate-gender routes” and has called on women to accept such segregations, claiming that this “is not feminine exclusion but rather a feminine benefit.”
