2,500 US Rabbis condemn Schumer's Antisemitic Speech


The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), representing over 2,500 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in American public policy, today rebuked Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) for his "counterproductive interference" in Israel's democratic government, in a floor speech blasting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

CJV President Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld stated: "The leader who has 'lost his way' here is Sen. Schumer himself, who is using Netanyahu as a bogeyman for hatred directed against Jews for having the temerity to defend Jewish lives. Every Israeli, and every committed Jew, recognizes the malignant hatred of those calling Israel 'genocidal' as it eliminates a genocidal terror organization, or calling for a 'ceasefire' to permit the terrorists to regroup, rearm, and again murder the innocent."

"Leader McConnell is right to call Sen. Schumer's statement hypocritical, but it goes further: Mr. Schumer can best remind us that his name comes from Shomer, Hebrew for guardian, by calling out members of his own party trafficking in classically antisemitic tropes, like Reps. Omar and Tlaib. He should apologize for his counterproductive interference in Israel's democratic governance and self-defense."

In his remarks, Schumer called for the holding of new elections in Israel, saying that "Netanyahu has lost his way." He further named Netanyahu as one of four "obstacles to peace" alongside Hamas and Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

 

Senator McConnell: 'Schumer's criticism grotesque and hypocritical'

 



Senate Minority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell (Rep.) responded to Democrat Majority Leader Chuck Schumer' speech calling for new elections in Israel, saying:

 "It is grotesque and hypocritical for Americans who hyperventilate about interference in our own democracy” to call for the Israeli leader's removal.

 The primary “obstacles to peace” in Israel’s region are genocidal terrorists and corrupt PA leaders who repeatedly reject peace deals. Foreign observers who cannot keep this straight ought to refrain from interfering in the democracy of a sovereign ally.

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer gave a speech on "a pathway to peace and achieving a two-state solution" today (Thursday).

In his remarks, Schumer called for the holding of new elections in Israel, saying that "Netanyahu has lost his way." He further called the Israeli Prime Minister an "obstacle to peace."

According to Schumer, Netanyahu is one of four obstacles to peace, the others being Hamas, "radical Israelis," and Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Schumer's criticism of Netanyahu centered on the prime minister's "outright" rejection of the idea of the creation of a Palestinian state in the aftermath of October 7. All Israeli polls show that a clear majority of Israelis are also against the idea of a Palestinian state.

“The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel," he said. "The Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past.”

"This is a grave mistake for Israel, for Palestinians, for the region, and for the world," he claimed. "The only real and sustainable solution to this decades-old conflict is a negotiated two-state solution."

According to Schumer, Netanyahu has "dangerous and inflammatory policies that test existing U.S. standards for assistance.”

“If Prime Minister Netanyahu’s current coalition remains in power after the war begins to wind down, and continues to pursue dangerous and inflammatory policies that test existing US standards for assistance, then the United States will have no choice but to play a more active role in shaping Israeli policy by using our leverage to change the present course," he said.

Schumer did criticize Hamas for deliberately causing much of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. "Israel is by no means the only one responsible for the immense civilian toll. To blame only Israel for the deaths of Palestinians is unfair, one-sided, and often deliberately manipulative. And it ignores Hamas' role in this conflict."

He further criticized the media and the anti-Israel protestors for not acknowledging that Hamas' strategy of using human shields contributes to the death toll in Gaza.

He noted that, "Contrary to the unfounded, absurd, and offensive claims by some that the Jewish people are colonizers in their ancestral homeland, Jewish people have lived in the homeland continuously for more than 3,000 years."

Satmar Going Crazy that First Floyd Mayweather Went to the Kosel and Now the Chassan from Ger ...When will this end?



I heard that the feuding Satmar Brothers have called a 5-minute truce to discuss this sick trend of people going to daven at the Kosel, chas ve'sholom. 
They decided, according to insiders, that they would come out with a public "mechaah"  to denounce this new minhag which according to the Va'Yoel Moshe is a Torah prohibition.
When the black boxer, Floyd Mayweather Shlitah showed up, they thought that this was a one-time phenomenon and the trend would blow over, but now that a Gerer Chassan showed up to daven before his chuppah, and had a little heart-to-heart talk with his Creator they freaked out and figured that if this isn't stopped immediately, Jews from all denominations would start davening at the Kosel by the hundreds of thousands. 
Stay tuned for more breaking news from the Satmar Camp.

Viznitzer in the IDF Gets Yelled Out by his Commander For having His Beret on the wrong side of his uniform!

 

Viznitzer Chassidim wear their hats with the bow on "right side" .. The chassidishe hats have the bow on the "left side" so they turn the hats around so that the bow is on the right! 

I heard that Viznitz holds that these are very deep kabbalistic ideas. 

Well in the video below a Viznitzer Chusid in the IDf has his beret on the right side underneath his lapel, and his commander yells at him to switch the beret so that it is under the left side. He answers that he "is a Viznitzer" The commander asks him if he has ID identifying him as a Viznitzer, and he answers in the affirmative

These are the Extremists Trying to Destroy Ramat Beit Shemesh "Daled"






Rama D neighborhood in Beit Shemesh is one of the most beautiful and diverse neighborhoods in Israel. Both in terms of planning and in terms of landscapes and nature. The beauty of the neighborhood is also expressed in the high-quality and diverse population that lives there - Hasidic, Lithuanian, Sephardic, modern ultra-Orthodox, and the like.

But there are elements that are trying to destroy the neighborhood, while they are working to bring in extremists families. 
Businessmen in the neighborhood contacted the 'Chadoshet Hair' WhatsApp group  and told them about the 2 extremists who recently arrived on the scene, Yosef Shalom Altman and his friend Mr. Schlesinger,(photos above) both are ex-cons, one of whom had previously been recorded acting violently and the other had been recorded committing acts of vandalism. Since their arrest, they have gone underground, while being busy founding a fake " apartment committee"  mapping out the neighborhood and locating all the apartments that are for sale or rent, in the neighborhood.

The two would scheme to call landlords two months before the lease of the present tenant expired, and recommended a new tenant that was from from the extremists, and implored the landlords that they should not rent to people from the Hasidic, Lithuanian, Sfardie , and dati leumi communities. 
Most of the apartment owners realized who they were dealing with, and immediately cut off contact, but a few fell into their trap.

The same businessmen told the 'Chadoshet Hair' network about the promotion of a  legitimate rent apartment project, and that they are currently trying to find a project manager who will include all the projects and establish an apartment committee that will bring only normal families to the neighborhood so that the extremists will not have a foothold in the neighborhood. 
The businessmen are asking the community not to trust these two hooligans , and their supporters and not to allow them to operate the community, and publicize their actions.*

"Today there is a place for everyone in the neighborhood. Even the modern ultra-Orthodox, who have established themselves in the neighborhood with over 20 communities already, with dedicated educational institutions . Every community in the neighborhood knows how to respect each other, and that is the beauty. We cannot allow a handful of extremists to destroy the place,"

 *חשיפה מקוממת: מי מנסה להרוס את שכונת היוקרה - רמה ד?* 

*חדשות העיר:* שכונת רמה ד' בבית שמש היא אחת השכונות היפות והמגוונות בישראל. הן מבחינה תכנונית, והן מבחינת נופים וטבע. יופיה של השכונה מתבטא גם בציבור האיכותי והמגוון שמתגורר בה - חסידי, ליטאי, ספרדי, חרדים מודרנים וכדומה.

אלא שיש גורמים שמנסים להרוס את השכונה, תוך שהם פועלים לייבא לתוכה משפחות מהזרם הקיצוני. עסקנים בשכונה פנו למערכת *'חדשות העיר'* וסיפרו על 2 קיצונים שהגיעו לאחרונה למקום, *יוסף שלום אלטמן וחברו מר שליזנגר,* אסירים לשעבר, אחד מהם תועד בעבר פועל באלימות והשני תועד כשהוא מבצע ונדליזם והשחתה. מאז המעצר הם ירדו לצללים, ולאחרונה החליטו לייסד *"ועדת דירות"* שתבצע מיפוי בשכונה ותאתר את כל הדירות העומדות למכירה או להשכרה.

השניים מתקשרים לבעלי דירות חודשיים לפני שחוזה השכירות פוקע, ומבקשים להשיג שוכר חדש מקהילות הקיצונים, ולא להשכיר לאנשים מקהילות חסידיות, ליטאיות וספרדיות, או הקהילות המודרניות. מרבית בעלי הדירות קלטו עם מי יש להם עסק, ומיד ניתקו קשר, אבל מעטים נפלו ברשתם.

אותם עסקנים מספרים למערכת *'חדשות העיר'* על קידום מיזם נגדי, וכי הם מנסים לאתר פרויקטור בימים אלו שיתכלל את כל הפרויקט ויקים ועדת דירות שתביא לשכונה רק משפחות נורמטיביות כדי שלקיצונים לא תהיה דריסת רגל בשכונה. *העסקנים מבקשים מהתושבים להקליט את השניים האלה, ואת השליחים שלהם, כדי שיוכלו לפעול בהמשך גם בזירה המשפטית, ולסנדל את פעולותיהם.*

*"יש היום מקום לכולם בשכונה. אפילו לחרדים המודרנים, שהתבססו בשכונה עם מעל 20 קהילות כבר, עם מוסדות חינוך ייעודיים ואפילו עם מפלגה. כל קהילה בשכונה יודעת לכבד ולהכיל אחת את השנייה, וזה היופי. לא ניתן לקומץ קיצונים להרוס את המקום",* אומרים אותם עסקנים.

Canadian law endorsed by Trudeau government could imprison people for life for speech crimes

 

Trudeau

A Canadian law that aims to make social media platforms safer is getting flak for what some decry as government overreach. 

Introduced late last month, the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, would allow judges to imprison adults for life if they advocate for genocide. 

The law would also allow a provincial judge to impose house arrest and a fine if there were reasonable grounds to believe a defendant "will commit" an offense – a provision Wall Street Journal columnist Michael Taube likened to the 2002 film, The Minority Report. 

Maragaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid's Tale, has criticized the bill as "Orwellian." 

"If this account of the bill is true, it’s Lettres de Cachet all over again. The possibilities for revenge false accusations + thoughtcrime stuff are sooo inviting! Trudeau’s Orwellian online harms bill," Atwood wrote on Twitter. 

Writing in Public, conservative author Stephen Moore called it the "most shocking of all the totalitarian, illiberal, and anti-Enlightenment pieces of legislation that have been introduced in the Western world in decades." 

Citing a government spokesperson, the bill would increase the maximum penalty specifically for advocating genocide from 5 years to life imprisonment and from 2 years to 5 years, on indictment, for the willful promotion of hatred." 

Justice Minister Arif Virani, who introduced the bill, said, as a father, he was "terrified of the dangers that lurk on the internet for our children." 

He argued that laws exist regulating the safety of toys his kids play with, but not the "screen that is in our children’s faces."
