Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire cuts ties with Candace Owens following Israel-Hamas comments


Candace Owens will no longer appear on Ben Shapiro’s conservative news website The Daily Wire, it was announced on Friday (22 March).

Controversial author Owens joined the media company in 2021 before falling out with co-founder Shapiro last year over her views on the Israel-Hamas war

 Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing tweeted on Friday morning.

“The rumors are true—I am finally free,” Owens shared on her own X account.

Representatives for The Daily Wire and Owens did not immediately respond to The Independent’s requests for additional comment.

The United States Abandoning Israel in the United Nations

 



The United States is preparing to abandon Israel in the United Nations with a draft resolution that calls for release of hostages dragged into Gaza by Hamas terrorists on October 7 — but also calls for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist organization.

Not a temporary ceasefire during which increased humanitarian aid would be “surged” to the enclave, and during which hostages would be freed.

Blinken announced Wednesday that the United States has submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council calling for “an immediate ceasefire linked to the release of hostages” in the Gaza Strip, according to a report by the Saudi Al-Hadaath news outlet.

“We’re pressing for an immediate ceasefire tied to the release of hostages,” said Blinken, who was in Jeddah for meetings with Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister and other officials.

“We actually have a resolution that we put forward right now that’s before the United Nations Security Council that does call for an immediate ceasefire tied to the release of hostages, and we hope very much that countries will support that,” Blinken said. “I think that would send a strong message, a strong signal.”

Such a message does indeed send a “strong message” that the US no longer “has Israel’s back” in the United Nations, despite all declarations of America’s “unbreakable bond” with the Jewish State.

Hamas Threatens To Kill Anyone Working With Israel To Establish New Palestinian Government In Gaza

 


Israeli and Arab officials have revealed that Israeli security officials are quietly developing a plan to distribute aid in the Gaza Strip, which could eventually lead to a Palestinian-led governing authority. The plan has sparked a fierce backlash from Hamas and created divisions within Israel’s war cabinet.

According to officials, a top Israeli defense official has held talks with Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan to build regional support for the effort. The plan involves enlisting Palestinian leaders and businessmen with no ties to Hamas to distribute aid, which would enter Gaza by land and sea after Israeli inspection. The aid would be stored in large warehouses in central Gaza and distributed by Palestinians.

Once the war is over, the aid officials would assume authority to govern, backed by security forces funded by wealthy Arab governments. The effort aims to fill the power vacuum left by Israel’s invasion of Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

However, the plan faces obstacles and lacks the support of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who opposes working with Fatah, a rival party to Hamas seen as supporting terrorism.

Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, head of the Israeli security arm overseeing civilian affairs in occupied territories, sees the aid effort as crucial to Israel’s plan to evacuate Rafah, Hamas’ last stronghold. The aid network would feed 750,000 to a million people in displacement camps planned for absorbing Rafah’s population.

Hamas has responded with threats, labeling anyone working with Israelis as traitors and threatening them with death. Several Palestinian families once open to the idea have withdrawn in recent days.


‘After The Rabbi (Rabbi Yosef) Spoke, My Wife, A Bereaved Mother, Cried For 24 Hours’

 

Rabbi Tamir Granot 

 “It would hurt me if anyone said this but when I hear it from a rabbi, a leader, who represents all of the Jewish nation, it hurts more,” says Rebbetzin Avivit Granot, the wife of Rabbi Tamir Granot who heads Yeshivat Orot Shaul and the mother of Captain Amitai Tzvi who fell in battle on the 15th October. She is referring to the recent statement by Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef that “The tribe of Levi are exempt from army service and cannot be taken under any circumstance. If they force us to go to the army, we will emigrate abroad.”

Rabbi Granot said that he was forced to respond “for the sake of the honor of the Torah and for the sake of my wife’s tears. Your words about conscripting yeshiva students caused her to cry for 24 hours.”

“I ask you, honored rabbi- Did Amitai err? Is he lying under the ground of Mt. Herzl for nothing? Should he and all of his friends lying there with him have stayed in yeshiva and left the Mesirus Nefesh to the secularists? Or should he have gone abroad to study Torah and not enlisted?

In this Climate ...Satmar Sues the Town of Ramapo Because They fly ..Guess What? The Israeli Flag !



 
DIN: How cruel are people? Let me rephrase that question: "How cruel can Frum Jewish people be to each other?" How can a group that boasts that they do "chesed" go and file a lawsuit against Goyim that want to show comradery with the Jewish people? 

All agree that what happened to the Jewish people on October 7 was the worst atrocity perpetrated against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Millions of people around the entire world are protesting and participating in supporting Hamas yet here we have a tiny village that wants to show support for the Jewish people, come a bunch of gangsters who call themselves "Chassidim" and are followers of the Vayoel Moshe filing a lawsuit to get the flag removed. You can be sure that if the flag flown was a Hamas flag they wouldn't say one word. 

What are those goyim thinking? That we ourselves hate Israel? A country that now houses the majority of the Jewish people. 

Where is the Moetzes Gedoilei HaTorah now? Where is their protest? Where are the Rabbanim of Monsey? Not one word! 

This flag, like it or not, is the symbol of the Jewish people! The total Jewish population number less than the entire first grade in China! Yet, there isn't a person on this planet that will not recognize that flag.

 I wonder what Leibish Illovitz the chayeh that filed the lawsuit would have done if it was his wife that was raped in front of his daughter, I wonder what Leinish Illovitz would say if Hamas chopped off the heads of his babies. I wonder what Leibish Illovitz would say if Hamas grabbed his old grandmother and paraded her in the streets of Gaza. What would be the reaction of Leibish Illovitz if his children were mutilated, all because they were Jewish. 

You know what Leibish? Take your chicken soup and stick it where the sun will never ever shine! 

What a Chillul Hashem. These are the students of the Vayoel Moshe who quote him all the time! 

A Ramapo Satmar Rabbi says it is illegal to fly an Israeli flag on government property in the Town of Ramapo.

Leibish Iliovits claims in a lawsuit filed Monday in Rockland County Supreme Court that the Town of Ramapo is violating New York State law, which prohibits flying the flag of another country. Town Supervisor Michael Specht is also named as a defendant.

The lawsuit relies on Section 141, Chapter 44, Article 5 of the New York Public Buildings law, which prohibits flying a foreign flag on government property absent an applicable exception.

The Total Disconnect of Chareidie Jews and the Rest of Klall Yisrael. Aguda releases Statement and leaves Our Holy Soldiers Out!


 
The above letter to Klall Yisrael from the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah is proof-positive that the Chareidie World with their Rabbinic Leaders are disconnected from the vast majority of the Jewish people, especially with other frum Shomrei Torah Umitvois!   

The letter does include the Hostages, but not a word for those sacrificing their lives for the Jewish people. 

Let that sink in!

Is it any wonder that most Jews, I repeat, MOST JEWS cannot understand why the Chareidim have absolutely no empathy for those who were murdered on October 7. 

Is it any wonder that the vast majority of the Jewish people living in Israel resent the Chareidim! 

Is it any wonder why Chilonim who must send their children, and husbands to the front resent Yeshiva Students?

האחיכם יבאו למלחמה ואתם תשבו פה "Shall your brothers go out to war while you just sit here" cried Moshe Rabbeinu!

In that question is also " Don't you care? Don't you have any empathy?"

And even if you are not sending your children to war, where is the respect for those who do? 

Recently I heard that the Girl Seminaries in Israel have asked their students not to say Tehillim for any specific soldier!  I want to know which Rabbi gave that idiotic psak? 

I want to know which Rav sat in his study in leather chair holding a hot herbal tea munching on a few dietic crackers and came up with this perverted idea?

Are they worried that the girl saying Tehillim for a specific soldier will get feelings for him? Is that it?

How sick and perverted?

 By extension every single man should refrain from saying Thillim for any lady not his wife or daughter, every lady should refrain from saying Tehillim for any man even a Gadol if she is not married to him! 

And let's just say that she would develop feeling for that soldier, chas Ve'shaom, that she is davening for, is that an "aveirah?" Isn't that the purpose of saying tehillim for a specific person to feel his or her pain, to connect with that neshama? How low have we sunk, when a Rabbi is afraid that a Jewish Heimishe girl saying tehillim is developing romantic feelings for that soldier? Is that what he thinks of his girl students? What is in that perverted head of that rabbi? What does he think about all day? 

This week, I had the opportunity to join a group to visit NOVA, the site where Hamas raped, murdered and mutilated hundreds of Jews.  I managed to gather 10 Jews to say a kaddish for these "kedoshim." When I finished I proceeded to make a "Keil Molah Rachmim" becoming very emotional. The commander of the IDF forces that was assigned to NOVA came over to me and asked me if I lost anyone here, I answered in the affirmative "Yes, all those murdered were my family." He looked at me with tears in his eyes visibly touched, and said "I didn't think that Chareidim really cared" 

As I was about to leave I noticed a Chareidie dressed like the Arelich with the striped bekesha and I asked him in Yiddish what he was doing there? He pointed to his wife a few meters away all bent over a memorial for a murdered girl, sobbing, and she looked as if she was inconsolable. He said that she is crying over their daughter murdered and probably raped on October 7, and that his wife insists that they come there three times a week, she has 12 other children. I asked him if she cries like this every time she visits, and he answered yes, but understand, he said, that in our community she couldn't and can't get any comfort from anyone, as the neighbors didn't even come to be "menacheim aval" they would come if someone ,G-d forbid, takes their own life but not if Hamas murdered her. 

We spoke about the disconnect that the Chareidie World has to October 7, and he admitted that if it wasn't for his own daughter murdered, he probably would have never even given a thought to coming, and he added that this has to change. He made an interesting observation, he said that this push to connect, cannot come from the top, from the leaders, it has to be grass roots as the rabbis will never understand. 

Let me finish with a word from the megilla. The very last pasuk states:

כי מרדכי היהודי משנה למלך אחשורוש וגדול ליהודים ורצוי לרוב אחיו דרש טוב לעמו ודבר שלום לכל-זרעו

"Mordechai the Jew, was viceroy to King Ahasuerus; he was a great man among the Jews, and found favor with the multitude of his brethren; he sought the good of his people and was able to speak in peace with all his children"

Commentaries say that the very last verse talks about Mordechai's accomplishments and his virtues. 

He managed becoming the second in command in charge of the entire Persian Empire, no small feat. He was also held in high esteem amongst his own people, and was able to be liked by the majority of his brethren, also no small feat, and in fact it is usually an impossible task and situation, in a addition, he made an effort to find the best in everyone, and finally, he spoke in peace with his very own children.

Commentaries say, that as the list of his accomplishment and virtues progresses in the verse, the virtue mentioned next, is far more important.

In other words, though being a viceroy to the King was a huge accomplishment, the fact that he was held in high esteem by the Jews was a greater virtue and so on and so on. The last accomplishment was that he "spoke to his children in peace" that according to commentaries was his greatest accomplishment. 

Why?

I am sure that Mordecahi  may have not approved of everything his children were doing or how they were leading their lives,(this is actually hinted in the Even Ezra.) But nevertheless he was able to speak in peace with them. That in fact is a great accomplishment and shows what kind of person Mordechai really was. 

We say everyday:

ובא לציון גואל ולשבי פשע ביעקב

We pray that Moshiach comes, but when he does come he is coming to the פשע ביעקב as well!

Moshiach will come to those who are not Shomrei Torah Umitzvois as well. They will be included. 

If you don't agree, cut this verse out of your prayers ...

Aguda Shame On You!

Jonathan Glazer the self -hating Jew made a Movie About the Holocaust but there isn't a single Jew seen in the entire movie!



While the evil of Nazism is an abstraction in the movie, out of sight and out of mind, viewers are invited to identify with the daily life of the family Höss. The lush images of the film convey an idyllic family life, with an immaculately clean house and bountiful garden. The Nazis loved their children and their pets. They played the piano.

 Glazer has explained that his goal was to show that the perpetrators of the Holocaust were not monsters but humans, just like us. It could have happened anywhere: to anyone, by anyone. Viewers are invited to consider that as we go about our mundane lives, evil is taking place somewhere behind a wall, which we chose not to look over.

But the whole idea of making a Nazi pastoral film is historically misleading and frankly offensive. As Israeli film critic Avner Shavit has pointed out, Glazer has managed to make a film about the Holocaust in which we never see any Jews.
