MK Ahmad Tibi (Hadash-Ta'al) published photos which he claimed were photos of children and infants hit by IDF fire - but included a photo of Ido Avigal, a five-year-old Israeli killed by Gaza rocket fire in 2021.
Shani Avigal, Ido's mother, was shocked to see her dead son's face among the photos.
"Hey Ahmad, what's up, do you hear me?" she wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "It's totally fine to take all sorts of kids, put them in one photo, and tell the world that the IDF killed them, but is there a chance that you could take the photo of my child off there? I am pretty sure Hamas killed him, and injured my daughter, and my nephews, and myself. But I'm not a kid, so whatever. Ah, yeah. They fired at a home!"
Deputy Minister Michal Woldiger (Religious Zionism) responded: "Ahmad Tibi, you are still a member of the Israeli Knesset. This is too much! To publicize a photo of Ido Avigal, may G-d avenge his blood, who was killed by a rocket launched by Hamas towards his home, and to present him as if he was killed by the IDF?! And in general - you know very well that the IDF is the most ethical army in the world. To you the goal justifies the means, including twisting information and using children, even in their deaths. Shame on you!"
Journalist Yehuda Shlesinger wrote: "This morning as well, it is important to correct the damage and remind: The IDF does not blow up homes with children." Tibi responded to his tweet by posting three photos of children and infants and writing cynically, "Other than the times it does."
Newly discovered correspondence suggests that World War II-era Pope Pius XII had detailed information from a trusted German Jesuit that up to 6,000 Jews and Poles were being gassed each day in German-occupied Poland. The documentation undercuts the Holy See’s argument that it couldn’t verify diplomatic reports of Nazi atrocities to denounce them.
The documentation from the Vatican archives, published this weekend in Italian daily Corriere della Sera, is likely to further fuel the debate about Pius’ legacy and his now-stalled beatification campaign. Historians have long been divided about Pius’ record, with supporters insisting he used quiet diplomacy to save Jewish lives while critics say he remained silent as the Holocaust raged.
DIN: To give you an idea who this SOB is, in July he attended an alternative Yom Ha'atzmaut event that honored slain Palestinian terrorists, who died in the course of carrying out terrorist attacks against innocent Jewish Men, Women and children. He also refuses to let anyone photograph him in what he calls "occupied" territories.
Israeli government has complained to Germany after the German ambassador attended a high-profile Supreme Court hearing last week looking at the legality of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul, an Israeli diplomatic official said Monday.
The complaint, sent at the order of Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, sparked a rare diplomatic spat between the two allies, with German leaders defending their ambassador against the criticism.
The Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was discussing behind-the-scenes diplomacy, said that Israel had relayed its “dismay” through diplomatic channels, including the Israeli Embassy in Berlin.
“This was a decision taken by the highest figure in the ministry,” he added. Cohen is a close ally of Netanyahu.
Last Tuesday’s hearing was the first challenge to Netanyahu’s contentious judicial overhaul, which has bitterly divided the Israeli public and put the country on the brink of a constitutional crisis.
Ahead of the hearing, German Ambassador Steffen Seibert posted a video of himself on X, formerly known as Twitter, inside the courtroom under the heading: “The place to be this morning.” It included the Hebrew hashtag for Israel’s Supreme Court.
“I think something important is happening here for Israeli democracy,” he said, speaking in Hebrew. “We, as friends of Israel, are watching the Supreme Court with great interest and I wanted to see for myself.” Seibert did not express an opinion on the case in the video.
In New York, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz defended his government’s envoy against the Israeli criticism.
“The German ambassador is a very committed man with very clear principles. And I believe that everyone knows that — including in Israel,” Scholz told journalists.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock added that it is the “everyday business of diplomats” to monitor developments in foreign countries. “It’s also normal to go to public hearings or public court cases — it’s part of his job,” she said.
Scholz and Netanyahu are scheduled to meet Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
Yes, the Musk visit was intentionally made to stab the demented lunatic, Biden in the back. Biden is the one that didn't invite Netanyahu to the white house on purpose, instead the "Nursing Home Inmate" invited the pajama schnorring Zelenski and the Vietnamese PM.
This Netanyahu-Musk visit was a brilliant move, and the proof of the pudding is that the leftist roaches are coming out.
In the wake of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s initial meeting in the US with Tesla founder Elon Musk, former deputy foreign minister and former ambassador to the US Danny Ayalon sharply criticized Netanyahu on Israeli radio.
Ayalon said that “This is not a regular visit, this is an embarrassing visit. Embarrassing for the prime minister, who has to travel all this way to meet a businessman. Normally it is businessmen who come to visit the prime minister.
“Secondly, he contradicted himself. He comes to Musk, this is the best opportunity to explain Israel, so why does he instead explain himself politically? Its very embarrassing. He said that ‘I have a majority to pass any law I want’ and that itself explains why he needs the supervision of the courts.
“You know what will reverberate the most in Washington? When he called Musk the ‘unofficial president of the US’. That was a slap in the face, a stab in the eye of Biden. This is not the Netanyahu I know, this is a loss of control, spinning out. He is also sending strange messages which are later reworded by the Likud. Maybe he intends to confuse everyone, I don’t know but it looks bad and doesn’t serve Israel, “Ayalon added.
With reference to the expected meeting with Biden at the UN general assembly, Ayalon said that “For the Americans, this meeting is almost pointless. One of the reasons the Americans give for why Biden hasn’t met Netanyahu up to now is because he says Netanyahu’s lost control. We see that Netanyahu doesn’t intervene when[his coalition] humiliates the US. Everything Netanyahu does is in accordance with what he is told in the cabinet.
“Biden is also not at his best but he’s still focused. I think that Biden just because he is a true lover of Israel, he calls himself Zionist, that is why he can allow himself to behave to Netanyahu as he has. Obama wouldn’t have dared to do this because Obama was suspected of being hostile to Israel.
“What else is a problem? For Israel, when the meeting is in New York, the attention of the president is not on the meetings. He has 50 meetings there. Instead of talking about Iran, Hezbollah and maybe Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu will hear a lecture on what is a Western-style liberal democracy,” Ayalon added.
Laura Barajas got a bacterial infection from eating undercooked tilapia.
Barajas had to have all her limbs amputated because of the infection.
The CDC warns Vibrio vulnificus infections are rising due to warming waters.
A mother in California had to have all of her limbs amputated after eating a piece of undercooked tilapia.
Laura Barajas, 40, purchased the fish from a local market in San Jose last month which she cooked and ate on her own at home, her friend Anna Messina wrote in a GoFundMe campaign.
Barajas spent more than a month in the hospital fighting an infection of Vibrio vulnificus bacteria before having all of her limbs removed on Wednesday, according to Messina.
"We kindly request that you find it in your hearts to support this beautiful family during this incredibly challenging time," Messina wrote. "What has happened to them could happen to any of us, and together, we can make a meaningful difference."
On September 1, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health advisory, warning of an increase in Vibrio vulnificus bacterial infections in the United States due to increasing water tempuratures.
Vibrio vulnificus is a bacteria that thrives in warmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico, according to the CDC. Vibrio bacteria are known to cause around 80,000 illnesses in the United States each year, according to the agency.
In Galveston, Texas, a man died over Labor Day Weekend after eating oysters contaminated with Vibrio vulnificus on August 29, according to FOX 26 in Houston.
Signs of a Vibrio vulnificus infection are watery diarrhea, stomach cramping, nausea, vomiting, and fever, the CDC says. An infected wound may display redness, pain, swelling, warmth, discoloration, and discharge, according to the department.
The CDC says the most common cause of Vibrio infections is eating undercooked or raw oysters and shellfish.
"Don't eat raw or undercooked oysters or other shellfish. Cook them before eating," the CDC recommends. "Always wash your hands with soap and water after handing raw shellfish."
The CDC also recommends staying out of salt water if you have an open wound to avoid Vibrio infection.

Schumer (D-NY) quietly directed the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms to stop enforcing the dress code that mandates male senators wear a jacket and tie and female senators a dress or other businesswear on the floor, Axios reported Sunday.
The change in policy comes after Fetterman (D-PA) was bashed by conservatives for donning a hoodie, gym shorts and sneakers to the chamber. Many called his casual fashion choices disrespectful.
“John Fetterman’s attire in the Senate perfectly summarizes Democrats lack of respect for Americans and our institutions,” tweeted conservative comedian Tim Young.
The 6-foot-8-inch tall Democrat often swapped a suit and tie for the informal duds when he returned to Washington following a six-week stint at Walter Reed National Medical Center, where he was treated for clinical depression.
