‘October 7’ restaurant opens in Jordan, celebrating Hamas massacre

 A new restaurant in Jordan is named “October 7,”  celebrating Palestinian terror group Hamas’s massacre of 1,200 people in a brutal rampage through southern Israel on that day.

The shawarma joint has been opened in the Southern Mazar district, south of the city of Kerak near the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea, according to a video posted on social media.

The clip was published approvingly Wednesday evening on X by Dima Tahboub, a former member of parliament, writer, political analyst, and a member of Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood, a violent Islamist organization.

Tahboub has previously courted controversy for praising a Jordanian soldier who carried out the 1997 Island of Peace massacre in which seven Israeli schoolgirls were murdered and six others injured.

In the two-minute video, an unidentified man films the customer-packed restaurant from outside, as well as its surroundings, and then goes into the eatery, where customers and employees with “October 7” robes greet him.

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid reacted angrily, demanding condemnation from Jordanian leaders.

“The disgraceful glorification of October 7th has to stop. The incitement and hatred against Israel breeds the terrorism and extremism which led to the brutal massacre of October 7th,” Lapid tweeted in English. “We expect the Jordanian government to condemn this publicly and unequivocally.”

There were no immediate reactions from coalition officials Thursday morning.

Christian group donates $500,000 to Oct. 7 survivors’ post-trauma therapy

 Pro-Israel Christians from the United States, in Israel on a solidarity visit, donated $500,000 to help two communities cope with the trauma of the murder of many of their members by Hamas terrorists on October 7.

The delegation of some 20 donors and alumni of Passages, a pro-Israel organization that subsidizes group visits to Israel for young American Christians, split the donation equally between Kibbutz Kfar Aza and Netiv Ha’asara, two communities where gunmen from Gaza butchered dozens of people and set on fire many buildings.

Hamas bigwig rejects 2-state solution, says Oct. 7 ‘revived dream to free Palestine’

Senior Hamas official Khaled Mashaal has dismissed the possibility of a two-state solution and said that his terror group’s devastating October 7 assault on Israel proved that liberating Palestine “from the river to the sea” is a realistic idea.

In an interview with Kuwaiti podcaster Ammar Taki last week, Mashaal, a former top leader of the terror group, said that there is “nearly a consensus” among Palestinians that they will not give up their rights to the land stretching “from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea” — that is, the West Bank, Gaza and all of Israel.

Mashaal noted that the slogan is also regularly chanted at rallies by “American students and in European capitals,” and said that the October 7 onslaught has “revived that dream.”

The Hamas bigwig categorically rejected the option of a political settlement with Israel and a two-state solution to the conflict, on the grounds that it would imply recognizing the legitimacy of the State of Israel, an “unacceptable” red line for the terror movement.

Gazans Fed Up with Hamas ... Protest & Demand "Release of Israeli Hostages"

Avichay Adraee, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, on Wednesday published rare footage of a spontaneous anti-Hamas protest which broke out in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

In their protest, the Gazans called for the release of the Israeli hostages, so as to bring about an end to the Hamas-Israel war.

"Hamas-ISIS leaders, led by [Yahya] Sinwar, listen to the cries of your people - your children, your women - who are expressing their outrage over the situation you have caused Gaza," Adraee wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

"They demand that you return the Israeli hostages home, so that the war will end and they can return home.

"Do these cries and demands reach the hiding places of the Hamas leaders?" he queried.

 

Israelis Protest Aid Trucks Entering Gaza: “Don’t Aid The Enemy!”

 

Dozens of Israelis, including relatives of hostages, IDF reservists who were released from duty in Gaza, and those who have been evacuated from their homes due to the war, held a protest on Wednesday and tried to stop the entry of trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza.

“No aiding the enemy!” the protesters said as they gathered at the Kerem Shalom border crossing. “No aid should be transferred until all the hostages are returned.”

Tzufit Liebman, the sister-in-law of Elyakim Liebman who worked as a security guard at the Nova music festival and was abducted by Hamas, expressed her feelings to Ynet about Israel allowing aid into Gaza while Israeli hostages are suffering from harsh conditions in captivity. “I came here to protest the terrible injustice that the hostages receive half a piece of bread a day at best. We don’t even know if our Elyakim is alive,” she said.

“We believe and hope that he is alive, but we have not received any signs of life from him and, on the other hand, the Hamas terrorists and the civilians who cover up the crime and don’t provide any information about the hostages receive convoys of trucks with food, equipment, and medicine. We will continue to come here until our hostages return home.”

Popular WABC Host Sid Rosenberg Discusses Upcoming Israel Trip

 Sid Rosenberg’s life was forever impacted by the October 7 terror attack. Although he had never visited Israel before, Sid felt like his own family was targeted.

At that moment, Sid, a proud Jew, recognized that his massive platform and huge audience on WABC gave him a unique opportunity to become a spokesman for the Jewish community.

Sid has always been a radio legend. Now he has become an influential advocate for Israel. He defends Israel and the Jews, blasts pro-Hamas supporters, and slammed the Biden administration for being complicit with Hamas terror.

In this emotional, riveting, and insightful interview with Josh M, Sid describes his personal, life-changing experiences on October 7, and how it triggered him to connect with his Jewish identity like never before.

He describes his excitement (and trepidation) about his family’s upcoming trip to Israel next week, when he will tour the areas ravaged by Hamas.

He discusses his lifelong connection with the Jewish community. He shares powerful details about his upbringing, his late father’s observance of Judaism, and how for years, he felt more connected to Italian mobsters than Jews.

He also shares details about his yeshiva background, the recent Kiddush in a Five-town shul in his honor, whether he is afraid to bring his family to Israel and much more.

Since that horrific day, Sid has been on a mission to tell the world the truth, be a fearless supporter of Jewish causes, and fight antisemitism.

This powerful and emotional interview above is a must-listen.

"Jewish Soldiers Killed in Gaza are like soldiers getting killed in a discotheque" Amnon Yitzchok

 I knew that this Amnon Yitzchok character was insane, but I never knew how evil he is! 

To make a vile statement like this while Jewish blood is still spilling like water in Gaza is so sick and perverted that one can only stand back and wonder whether he is from Zera Avraham.

In the video below he dedicates 27 minutes destroying Rabbo Mordechai Gur. Cursing him like a drunken sailor with the worst possible "klallois" and calling him an "ish tamei, and a "rasha me'rusha" 

 If Amnon would have gone to Yeshivah he would have learned in Kiddushin (70 a)

  כל הפוסל במומו פוסל  

"one who disqualifies (a fellow Jew) is disqualifying him with his own inadequacies." 

Amnon claims that Rabbi Gur talked Loshon Hara about him which is hilarious since Amnon's entire rant is one 27-minute piece of Loshon Hara dripping with hate and curses.

I don't know who this Rabbi Mordchai Gur is, whom  the arrogant Amnon calls "Murdach" but his crime was that he took on and challenged this Amnon for his vile bizarre and cruel statements about the slain IDF soldiers HY"D. How dare Rav Gur contradict the "great Amnon?" 

This is not the place and time to go into Amnon's rant about what "Harugei Malches" means, which he uses as an argument against this Rabbi Gur, but suffice it to say that Amnon himself never learned in a Yeshiva and became a Baal Teshuva when he was 24 years old. He keeps on asking the crowd he is addressing if anyone can give him sources to support Rabbi Gur, but his audiences are by in large a bunch of amai ratzim, people who know very little and are new to the Torah, so who in his audience can even follow what he is blabbering about?  In the video, he states emphatically that the soldiers killed in Gaza protecting his derriere will not have Olam Haba! He asks his audience "Who said that they will get olam haba?"  No one of course answers him, they are just sitting there with their mouths open disbelieving the vitriol they just heard. 

I have a simple answer: the very first Mishna in Avos where it states:

כל ישראל יש להם חלק לעולם הבא 

certainly, someone who put his very life on the line to protect am yisrael! 

Amnon brings a childish example: 

"If an Arab and a Jewish Soldier are having a brawl in a discotheque, and the Arab stabs the Jew to death, are we going to say that the Jew gets Olam habah?"

Wow! What an example? Is this Amnon guy playing with a full deck? Because it's full of jokers! He is comparing a soldier in Gaza who got killed, to a guy who gets killed in a brawl in a discotheque? 

He then mocks a soldier fighting in Gaza that is concerned about his Olam Haba! How cruel is this guy?

 Is he even living on our planet, it's scary to think that he is breathing the same air we are! 

His arguments against Rabbi Gur are so off the charts that his "polemic" reminds me of "Mad Magazine" which I used to read when I was 11 years old. 

Years ago,  in a video titled "Herzl and Zionism," Amnon compared Binyamin Zev Herzl z"l to Hitler YM"S, stating that "Hitler wanted to destroy the body of the Jewish nation while Herzl wanted to destroy the soul, which is far more important than the body." 

He doesn't mention that Herzl's nation is the home of the majority of the Jewish people, and the State of Israel has more Yeshivas than anywhere in the entire world with more Torah being learned in Israel than in the entire history of the Jewish people, going back to Mattan Torah! Israel also has an assimilation rate of less than 2% whereas in Chutz Le'aaretz it is over 85%! 

Whether Herzl was a "Tzaddik" can be debated but what is abundantly clear is that we thank G-d, that Herzl's dream came to fruition making it possible for a lunatic like Amnon Yitzchok to be able to bark and spread his hate against those defending Am Yisrael!

Mazal Tov ..Shalom Zachor Chickpeas is a meat substitute and fights against cancer and boosts heart health

 

American scientists from the Cleveland Clinic highlighted that chickpeas can be considered a complete protein because they contain all the amino acids that our bodies require. When cooking, it's good to remember that chickpeas make for a healthier meat substitute. Chickpeas stands out for not having any saturated fats, an excessive amount of which in our diet, can raise the levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol in our blood, thereby increasing the risk of developing conditions such as atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.

This legume notably contains a generous amount of fiber, which accelerates intestinal movement and helps remove harmful food residues. Furthermore, frequently including chickpeas in your diet encourages the production of sodium butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids, which can safeguard against colon cancer.

Chickpeas also have a low glycemic index, which assists in controlling blood glucose levels. Therefore, they can be safely integrated into the diets of diabetes patients. Moreover, they contain lycopene, saponins, and biochanin A, which display anti-cancer properties.

Being low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, chickpeas are an excellent choice for individuals coping with obesity or looking to lose extra weight. It offers a satiating meal without high-fat content.
