Does the world hate the Gazans?

Over the last 500 years, at least, the Gaza Strip has been a backwater. No one has ever truly invested in Gaza or the Gazans. For the last 100 years, Gaza and the Gazans have increasingly been used as pawns, by both the Arabs and the international community, in their efforts to vilify Israel and the Jews.

When push came to shove, the international community, led by the United Nations, preferred dead Gazans over losing leverage against Israel. Paradoxically and entirely contrary to common perception, Israel did more for the Gazans and the Gaza Strip than any of its many rulers, and had the international community not hated the Gazans so much, their situation today could have been drastically different.

Gaza under the Ottomans

For 400 years (1517-1917), the area known today as the Gaza Strip was part of the Ottoman Empire. It was not recognized as an independent area or as being at all linked to Judea and Samaria. Under Ottoman rule, the Gaza Strip saw changing fortunes and investments, depending on the circumstances and the identity and connections of its appointed governor.

Gaza under the Mandate

In the aftermath of the First World War and the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Gaza Strip was included in the area that came under the control of Great Britain. Following the Balfour Declaration (1917), the Paris Peace Conference (1919), the San Remo Conference (1920) and the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine, Great Britain controlled the area with the sole purpose of it becoming part of the Jewish national homeland. One of the more substantial moves made by Great Britain during the period of the Mandate (1922-1948) was to finalize the official border separating Egypt from the Gaza Strip.

After Great Britain betrayed the Mandate and capitulated to Arab violence instead of giving the Jews the land designated for their national homeland, the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan (which suggested an Arab state and a tiny Jewish state on that same land), included the Gaza Strip in the territory of the “Arab State.” However, having ceremoniously rejected the Partition Plan, the Arab countries chose instead to wage war on the nascent Jewish state. While Israel managed to survive the onslaught of five Arab armies, when the fighting came to its end, it did not conquer the Gaza Strip, which would now be under Egyptian rule. Except for a short break between 1956 and 1957 duing the Sinai War, the Strip remained under Egyptian control from 1948 to 1967.

Iranian woman gets 74 lashes for not being "Tzneesdik"

Iranian authorities have whipped a woman 74 times for "violating public morals" and fined her for not covering her head, the judiciary said, according to the AFP news agency.

"The convicted, Roya Heshmati, encouraged permissiveness (by appearing) disgracefully in busy public places in Tehran," the judiciary's Mizan Online website said.

"Her penalty of 74 strokes of the lash was carried out in accordance with the law and with sharia," and "for violating public morals," Mizan added.

Kurdish-focused rights group Hengaw identified Heshmati as 33-year-old woman of Kurdish origins. She was arrested in April "for publishing a photo on social media without wearing a headscarf," her lawyer Maziar Tatai told the reformist Shargh daily.

Heshmati was also ordered to pays a fine of 12 million rials (around $25) for "not wearing the Muslim veil in public", Tatai said.

All women in Iran have been required by law to cover their neck and head since shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Whippings for breaching the dress code are uncommon in Iran, but officials have increasingly cracked down on those defying the rules after the practice surged during anti-government protests that began in late 2022.

The protests were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been arrested for allegedly breaching the rules.

Since then, a growing number of Iranian women have been seen in public without hijab head scarves or observing the rules against clothes that are deemed too tight-fitting or otherwise revealing.

Last April, Iranian authorities announced that cameras would be installed in public places and thoroughfares to identify and penalize unveiled women .

In September, a new bill was passed which stipulates that Iranian women who flout the strict Islamic dress code would face up to 10 years' prison.

 

The three Terrorists that murdered an Arab thinking he was a Jew were a Nurse and Two Doctors

 

Officers from the Yamam counterterrorism unit on Sunday evening arrested three suspects in Ramallah on suspicion of carrying out the attack in the Binyamin region on Sunday morning.

According to Palestinian Arab sources, the detainees are Ayser al-Barghouti and Khaled al-Kharuf, two doctors from Ramallah, and Mureed Dahadha of Jalazone, a male nurse by profession.

Amar Mansour, 34, from the Beit Hanina neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem was murdered in Sunday morning’s attack. Magen David Adom paramedics who were called to the scene provided him with initial medical treatment but were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead.

In addition, a pharmacist from Hadassah Hospital was critically injured in the attack. Shortly after the attack, the woman was taken to a Palestinian Arab hospital but was later transferred to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.

Toronto Police Doing Chesed to antisemites and Deliver Coffee to them while they are protesting in Support of Hamas

 

The Toronto Police Service is evidently taking a page from the motto of the Los Angeles Police Department: “To protect and to serve.”

Canadian lawyer Caryma Sa’d posted a video on Saturday of Toronto police officers delivering coffee and food to anti-Israel protesters blocking a bridge in the most heavily Jewish part of the city.

“How did you get coffee from the police?” a protester is asked in the video. The keffiyeh-clad protester responds: “Somebody bought it for us, but the police won’t let them in. So the police is now becoming our little messengers.”

Laurie McCann, a spokeswoman for the police, told the National Post that officers were “managing a dynamic situation” and had not intended to endorse the protest.

“Their top priority is maintaining order in a tense environment on the Avenue Road bridge,” she said. “In performing a helpful act today, our officer’s motivation was to help keep tensions low and should not be interpreted as showing support for any cause or group.”

Others were unconvinced.

Ami"s Frankfurter Tries Hoodwinking Dayan Brandsdorfer with the Satmar SHIT'a but Brandsdorfer Will have None of That!

In this week's Ami Magazine, FRANK'furter , "der upgerissianr naar' ( bloody fool,) interviews the Yerushalmi Posek Rav Moshe Brandsdorfer. 

The "Frank" must have some "man crush" on R' Brandsdorfer, because this is not the first interview he gave him. 

But what is fascinating is that this interview was supposed to be an interview on the "Perspective of Halacha" vis a vis the Hamas atrocities, but instead, he makes this about the bankrupt Satmar Shit'ah! 

Those who are following my blog, know that Yitzy Frankfurter the editor of Ami thinks he is a Satmar Chusid, and tries to embed the irrelevant Shit'ah into most of his interviews but this one takes the cake. 

Ironically, Ami is officially banned in the Satmar community because it is "Zionistic!" LOL!

I am not certain if the Frank knows that Dayan Brandsdorfer's grandfather was none other than the author of Eim Habanim Semeicha, Harav Yisacher Shlomo Teichtal HY"D who was murdered by a Ukrainian on his way to a work camp, his last words before he died was "Jews run for your lives, it is pikuach nefesh, I will not stop screaming, Run Run to Palestine," His surviving daughter said that someone nearby said "please don't say that, as you will be accused of being a Zionist" and he continued yelling "Run Run for your lives" 

( see גליון קדושת ציון, גליון ע"ה טבת-שבט תשפ"ד)

R' Teichteil's entire sefer is a polemic against those Gedoilim who were against Jews from Europe making Aliya. The Gedoilim of that pre-war era were against Jews making Aliyah because they were  afraid of the Zionist influence, and were against Jews establishing a State before Moshiach comes. Rav Teichtal HY"D in his classic Sefer ,brilliantly takes apart all those arguments against aliyah!

This Has To Stop!!!! Chareidie Animals Burn Down Cell Phone Store In Ramat Bet Shemesh Alef

 

The Mayor, Aliza Bloch, condemns the cowardly act!

This happened in Ramat Alef, a predominantly Anglo community. But we border Ramat Bet, whose residents if not extremists themselves, keep quiet and say not a word. 

What these animals do, they send 15 year olds who are minors to do these disgusting violent acts, and so even when they are caught, the judges let them go. 

But what I find appalling is that on the Beit Shemesh Chats, if someone should condemn these cowards, they are immediately met with comments like, "oh they are only children" "Oh you are condemning an entire community" Oh this is Loshon Hara, remove this ASAP!"

My answer: 

This is NOT Loshon Hara, because these acts can lead to death, as it almost happened a year ago in the Geulah section in Yerushalyim when an entire family of 12 barely got out alive when the cellphone store below them was burned down. 

These "children" have parents and these parents should be condemned publicly if they support this as most of them do. 

Yes we are condemning an entire community because they are quiet and laugh it off as "Teenagers being teenagers" 

I wonder what they would say if these teenagers burned down their own homes! 

So far not one Rav of the entire Beit Shemesh community has condemned these cowards. 

28 Years BEFORE The State of Israel Was Established Arab Savages Pulled Off an Oct 7

 

Even before the concept of 'occupation' emerged, even before there was such a notion as 'Palestinians,' Jews were still being murdered simply because they were Jewish pic.twitter.com/gHXaazAFFy

The myth that Jews lived good with the Arabs is just that a myth. 

But DER GOY, the Satmar Yiddish weekly, keeps writing that Arabs killed Jews because of the Zionists.  This propaganda, Satmar gets from Al Jazeera and Abbas. 

To hold on to their bankrupt and irrelevant SHIT"ah they find alte kockers who lived in Yerushalayim and who relate that prior to 1948 they lived good with the murderous Arabs. This is of course hogwash. Yes, there were a couple of neighbors that lived "good" with their neighbors but you could say that about the Nazis too, the Nazis lived "good" with their Jewish neighbors till 1935. Satmar has to keep up this myth because otherwise they have nothing to sell. The Rambam had written about Arabs murdering Jews over 800 years ago! 

October 7 has proven that Arabs don't care if Jews are Zionists, Leftists, Chilonie, Chassidish, Frum, Yeshivash, they kill Jews because they are Jews, in fact in the same week of October 7th  Arabs murdered 3 frum Jews in Yerushalayim.
