Dennis Ross "the evil dummy" is blaming Israel again

 

Speaking via Zoom for the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism & Policy on Jan. 31, Ross offered some expected, perfunctory criticism of Hamas, Iran and Hezbollah. But again and again, he managed to bring in one-sided and unfair criticism of Israel.

Referring to Israel's counter-terrorism actions in Judea and Samaria, Ross said: "West Bank violence [by Arabs] is not disconnected from Israel's policies in the West Bank."

That's just absurd.

 The terrorists are not responding to Israeli policies. They were murdering Jews long before there were any settlements or so-called occupied territories. They oppose Israel's existence, not its borders. It's these terrorists who are the aggressors, and Israelis must respond to them.

Soldier who lost a leg in Gaza confronted a protester against Prime Minister Netanyahu, and chased him out of the hospital while hopping on his remaining leg.

 A well-known left-wing activist protested against Prime Minister Netanyahu while the prime minister visited the rehabilitation wing of Tel Hashomer Hospital.

When he began shouting at Netanyahu, families of the wounded and others present at the time attempted to ask him to leave, saying that it was not the place for a protest.

Noam Ben-Shalosh, a soldier from the 13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade who had lost his leg in combat, told Kan about the incident, which he says constituted a traumatic trigger for some of the soldiers who had been wounded in combat.

“He began to shout, and it didn't impress me to begin with. Many people asked him to leave because this was neither the time or place, among them my mother. He became angry with her and called her stupid. When I heard that, the soldier in me was reawakened. They had to calm me down.”

Footage of the incident shows Ben-Shalosh pursuing the protester while hopping on one leg and shouting at the protester. He recounted in an interview: “You cannot take advantage of the rehabilitation wing, where there is also mental rehabilitation going on, for a protest. There are people who were burned by politics and the senior officials responsible for the security of the state. If you begin to say things connected to that, it triggers them.”

“You cannot shout that the blood of the soldiers who were killed in action is on Netanyahu's hands. You're talking about my blood and that of sixteen of my comrades who were killed that day. It seriously upset me.”

Pollard cautions against deals with Hamas to free hostages that could prove dangerous.

 Former spy Jonatan Pollard arrived at the Or Vishua yeshiva in Haifa and talked with the yeshiva's students and faculty about the importance of Torah students in Israel, the importance of the national project of the hesder yeshivas that prepare their students for military service, and the goals of the IDF in the war against the Hamas terrorist organization.

"The army must undergo a reform and a fundamental change from within. The change must be carried out in two ways: from the top down, and from the bottom up. In other words," explained Pollard, "a change must be made at the top of the military system by replacing the Chief of Staff and changing the face of the entire General Staff so that the spirit Change first at the top of the system and then go and infiltrate down to the last of the soldiers as well. But even more important is the change that needs to come from below, from the junior echelon that is gradually occupying the key positions in the system. This is the right thing to do in order to transform the IDF into an army that fights according to the tradition of Jewish values, for the sake of the Jewish people living in Israel."

"This is where the importance of Torah students comes in because you are the ones who will create the Jewish army, who will fight for the sanctification of God," he said. "Everyone is fighting now, the secular, the traditional, the religious and the ultra-Orthodox side by side in a wonderful way and that is blessed. But we want to make sure that the army is united around the goal of protecting the Jewish state and the Jewish identity of the state."

Pollard also referred to the hostages held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza and said: "I know the captives well and intimately. I know how difficult and complex it is, but right now we need a victory over Hamas and a victory that will bring the kidnapped back home. It is forbidden to agree to deals with Hamas under any circumstances. The main goal of the war is the complete victory over Hamas and its complete destruction. Regarding the abductees, we will do everything so that they return at the same time. That's the only way we can bring them home, all of them." He added: "We have 8 million "kidnapped" if we agree to deals with Hamas. 8 million more Jews who live in the country and the duty is to protect them too at all costs. We do not have the authority to pay too heavy a price."

Canada Stops Assisted Suicides for Mentally Ill Only because doctors not willing to participate

Canada has delayed the extension of its assisted suicide program to people suffering solely from mental illness, health officials announced Monday. 

Canada offers medically assisted death to terminally and chronically ill people, but the plan to extend the program to people with mental illnesses has divided Canadians, the New York Times reported.

Some critics attribute the problem to a lack of adequate psychiatric care in the country.

The controversial policy would allow anyone in Canada with an incurable medical condition to apply for assisted suicide, even if the disease is not terminal, which makes the law one of the most liberal assisted suicide programs in the world. 

Canada introduced medically assisted dying after its Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that requiring people to cope with intolerable suffering infringed on fundamental rights to liberty and security.

The law was expanded in 2021 to include people experiencing “grievous and irremediable” conditions, such as depression and other mental health issues. 

Over 13,000 Canadians were euthanized as part of the program in 2022, the Daily Mail reported. 

Brooklyn Education Council ‘knowingly excluded’ Jewish parents with Shabbos meeting

 

CEC 22 Meeting Friday, January 19, 6:30 PM:

CEC 22 would like to invite you to join for a Special meeting scheduled for Friday, January 19th, 2023 at 6:30pm. The meeting will be held in Hybrid format in which you can choose to attend in person or via Zoom.

— District 22 Brooklyn (@District22BKNY) January 18, 2024

 A parent council in heavily Jewish Brooklyn held a “special meeting” on a Friday evening in January, knowingly excluding anyone observing Shabbat from the public forum, according to outraged community members who called the move antisemitic. 

The Community Education Council for District 22, which covers Flatbush, Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, and Manhattan Beach, scheduled a follow-up meeting to vote on resolutions after its Jan. 9 meeting went fully remote due to a snowstorm.

Despite calls to the CEC, the city Department of Education, and the Office of Family and Community Engagement, urging them to choose another date, the forum was held on Jan.19 at 6:30 pm, after the Jewish Sabbath was underway.

“Jewish children go to school here, and their families were excluded,” a district parent told The Post. 

The volunteer board voted on seeking alternatives to mayoral control of NYC schools, supporting class size mandates, and opposing a 60-day limit on shelter stays for migrants and other public school families.

It also voted against participating in an art and wellness fair and in favor of rescheduling the upcoming March meeting.

80 NYC educators attend anti-Israel seminar to learn tips for teaching kids about ‘genocide in Gaza’

About 80 New York City and New Jersey educators attended a virtual “curriculum share” seminar Saturday morning where they obtained tips to “get around censorship” while teaching students about the “Israeli occupation” and “ongoing genocide in Gaza.”

The organizers encouraged participants to consider using fake names or blurring their video out of paranoid fear of “conservative Zionist individuals” who have targeted the event and might “dox attendees.”

The event sparked outrage this week among critics who slammed it as antisemitic and divisive.

It aimed “to push anti-Zionism propaganda and wrongfully inject divisive politics” into classrooms, Bronx Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres wrote in a letter ahead of the event imploring the city Department of Education to intervene.

“It is gravely concerning that NYC educators who have little to no background knowledge of Jewish experiences and Israel’s history have taken a crash course in antisemitism and left feeling like they are experts in Middle East studies,” Tova Plaut, a founder of the advocacy group NYCPS Alliance, told The Post.
