Zionist "shomrim" beat the hell out of the Arabs

 


The Israelis tried calling "Shomrim," the Chassidishe army in Boro-park and Williamsburg, but אין קול ואין עונה 

It is interesting that Chareidim hold that its ok to have an army which they call "shomrim" to protect them in Chutz Le'aartz, but its "chazir Treif" for the Zionists to have an army to protect 7 million Jews!

The truth is that the "Gedoilim" of Chutz Le'aaretz really don't believe that "Torah is matzil uh'meigein" if they did, they would immediately prohibit "shomrim" and tell them instead to sit in learn, but they are quick to condemn the IDF and preach to their naive and ignorant sheep that one should not daven for the hatzlacha of the real "shoimrim" the IDF ! When it comes to the IDF they are quick to preach  "Torah is Matzil" something they themselves do not really believe in. All the Roshei Yeshiva of the Yeshivois and Kollim in Ashkelon and Ashdod fled to Beit Shemesh and the surrounding areas, teaching their students a real lesson that תורה מציל ומגן


Liz Magill’s UPenn resignation is just the first step in ridding campuses of antisemitism

 

Now that Liz Magill is about to become the former president of the University of Pennsylvania, the only sensible reaction is to hope she is the first of many college leaders to hit the road.

Magill’s forced resignation, following her sickening tolerance of antisemitism on Penn’s campus and her smug, disastrous congressional testimony, is reason to hope America’s educational rot has reached peak madness. The test is whether her comeuppance represents a sacrificial one-off or the start of a wholesale house cleaning of administrators who sold their souls to the woke mob.

That’s the moral clarity the nation needs and the moment demands.

Make no mistake: the outbreak of antisemitism on campuses across America is the virulent result of decades of radical professors whose far-left politics have turned elite institutions into anti-American indoctrination factories.

The daily drumbeat of contempt for our nation’s Founders, its military, police and civic institutions have fostered a hatred of Western civilization, its principles and morals. Cancel culture, gender madness and the embrace of racial discrimination in pursuit of diversity and equity are examples of the poisoned fruit of that agenda.

Incubators of hate

Mobs of Antisemitic Rioters Storm Streets of L.A., Chanting and Spraying Hate Graffiti

 

In a community with a heavy Jewish population, mobs of antisemites stormed the streets chanting antisemitic slogans and spraying antisemitic graffiti on buildings, including shuls. 

 The terrifying scene took place as Jews were lighting candles on Friday evening, at the start of Shabbos and the second night of Chanukah. According to “Stop Antisemites”, this particular location is the epicenter of Persian Jewish life on the Wilshire corridor.

Jewish Woman Beaten Unconscious in London, Left for Dead

 


A Jewish woman was beaten unconscious by vicious antisemites late Thursday afternoon in London’s Stamford Hill neighborhood. The attack took place just before the neighborhood’s Jewish residents and their fellow Jews around the world were preparing to light the first candle on the first night of Hanukkah.

The attack took place on Rostrevor Avenue N15, Metropolitan Police said, adding that the laughing attackers also stole the woman’s bag.

“She was left collapsed and unresponsive in a puddle and appeared unconscious for a few minutes,” London Shomrim, who released the CCTV, said in a statement.

“We don’t underestimate the psychological impact of offences such as these and we are offering her every support as we work to identify the suspects,” said Detective Inspector Mike Herrick, who is leading the investigation from Metropolitan Police robbery unit.

“We know footage of the incident has been widely shared on social media and understand that there will be added concerns about the motivation behind the attack. We will of course keep an open mind about the motive and continue to work closely with the local community to allay any fears.”

The attackers, described as two black females with long braided weave hairstyles, kicked the woman in the head until she was unconscious and then laughed over her body, declaring she was “dead,” according to witnesses quoted by Stamford Hill Shomrim.

Horrifically but unsurprisingly, numerous people and drivers passed as the attack was taking place, but not one person stopped to help the victim.

“This was a shocking incident, and we are supporting the victim who is understandably distress,” London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement posted on X.

“Officers take any suggestion of hate crime incredibly seriously and our investigation will include a thorough assessment of the motive for the attack,” Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

Holy Socks!! Satmar Rebbe's Socks Sell for $18,000 on EBay

 


Consider investing in the sock market.

Two pairs of three-foot-long white socks worn by a revered leader in the Hasidic Jewish community brought in a haul of nearly $18,000 on eBay this week. 

After an opening price of just 99 cents, socks worn by the late Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, the founder of the Satmar sect, sold for an impressive $11,600 on Sunday, after 88 bids. 

Those amazing feet were followed by a second auction for another pair of Teitelbaum’s hose, which sold on Tuesday for $6,200 with 43 bids. 

“Pair of long, white socks used by Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar,” the listing read. “Approx. 95 cm. Good condition. Stains.”

Teitelbaum died in 1979, and his stockings were handed down to his aide, Rabbi Mendel Greenberg, who subsequently gave them to Rabbi Leib Friedman of Lakewood, NJ, according to the listing.

A letter signed by Friedman confirmed the garments’ authenticity.

“There’s a lot of people buying stuff because . . . an item that a rabbi wore has something holy in it,” said David Knobloch, who runs Rarity Auction House in Spring Valley, NY, and handled the recent sales.

Many members of the Hasidic community splurge on prayer books and garments previously used by rabbinical leaders, which they might bust out on the high holidays or when attending weddings. 

“They won’t wear it on a regular Monday … they’ll use it for special occasions,” said Brooklyn-based Judaica collector Israel Clapman, 37. 

“In the Hasidic community, they’re not buying Ferraris or Bentleys, so rare Judaica is their way of flashing bling, of throwing money around.” 

Starbucks plummets in value after employees support Hamas


Starbucks has plummeted in market value, after news broke that Starbucks is suing the Starbucks Workers Union (SWU), Irish Star reported.

SWU, which has over 360 participating stores and over 9,000 participating employees, was sued by the chain after SWU tweeted, "Solidarity with Palestine."

The New York Post noted that Starbucks quickly responded to the tweet by saying, "We unequivocally condemn acts of terrorism, hate and violence, and disagree with the statements and views expressed by Workers United and its members. Workers United’s words and actions belong to them, and them alone."

The site added that Starbucks saw 8% growth during its fourth quarter, but its stock market value dropped 1.6% on Monday, for the 11th consecutive session. The consecutive drops, which began towards the end of November, erased 9.4% of Starbucks’ market value, for a decline of nearly $12 billion.

According to AZ Central, Starbucks employees, former baristas, and "Palestinian" advocacy groups across the US boycotted the coffee chain as a response to Starbucks' lawsuit against SWU.

Lynne Fox, Workers United President, emphasized in a statement that the tweet was written by a single person and unauthorized by any other SWU members.


Very Sick! US gives Israel until the end of 2023 to finish Gaza operation

 



The administration of US President Joe Biden has given Israel until the end of the year to wrap up its war on Hamas, Politico reported on Friday, citing three Israeli officials.

According to the report, that deadline was underlined by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a visit to Israel this week.

When Israeli officials outlined their plans to the top US diplomat, stating that fighting in southern Gaza would last several months, Blinken reportedly tersely retorted, “You don’t have that much credit,” according to Politico.

A senior Israeli official told the website, “They advised us not to go into Gaza, but we did.”

“We went into Gaza because that was the only way we could destroy Hamas and free our hostages. They told us, don’t go into the terror tunnels. But if we don’t go into the terror tunnels, there’s no way we can destroy Hamas. They told us not to go into the hospitals despite them being used by Hamas as command and control centers, but we went into those hospitals, and we did what we needed to do. And we’ll do what we need to do to reach decisive victory,” he added.

The Politico report comes one day after White House national security aide Jon Finer made clear that the United States has not given Israel a firm deadline to end major combat operations against Hamas in Gaza.

"We have not given a firm deadline to Israel, not really our role. This is their conflict. That said, we do have influence, even if we don't have ultimate control over what happens on the ground in Gaza," Finer told the Aspen Security Forum in Washington.

Israel has two objectives in Gaza, Finer said, ensuring Hamas can no longer govern Gaza and it can no longer pose a threat to Israel following the deadly October 7 attack.

"Frankly, if the war were to stop today, (Hamas) it would continue to pose (a threat) which is why we are not in a place yet of asking Israel to stop or to force ceasefire," he stated.

Earlier this week, US officials said they expect the current phase of Israel’s ground operation of Gaza, targeting the southern end of the Strip, to last several weeks.

The officials added that they believe Israel will transition, possibly by January, to a lower-intensity, hyper-localized strategy that narrowly targets specific Hamas terrorists and leaders.

US officials also said that Israel is showing more willingness to discuss plans for Gaza after the war.

John McCain in 2014 said that Blinken is "actually … dangerous to America and to the young men and women who are fighting and serving it."

 

ecretary of State Antony Blinken came under fire this week for what one combat-veteran lawmaker characterized as "lecturing" Israel's war cabinet, as the Biden administration faces pressure from its left flank to facilitate an end to fighting against Hamas in Gaza.

Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., a decorated retired Green Beret, told FOX News that Israel will end up in a surrender if it continues to follow "President Biden's edicts."

"I think that will be a green light for Hezbollah, for the militias in Syria and their masters in Iran to realize their dream before they even get a nuke, of genocide in Israel and wiping Israel off the face of the Earth."

He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knows he and his forces must remain firm in the face of calls to back down, because terrorists like Hamas only understand strength, not diplomacy or otherwise.
