Kamala Harris is Hamas’ useful idiot
As the Biden Presidency continues to sink at a rapid pace, with nearly two thirds of Americans now believing the country is on the wrong track, Kamala Harris is unwittingly doing her best to speed its demise.
Her latest television interview, with ABC News, can only be described as a train wreck that cements her reputation as a calamitous vice president. The interview followed her recent gaffe-ridden visit to Puerto Rico, where Harris cluelessly applauded anti-American protesters singing a song in Spanish accusing her administration of war crimes.
Bleacher Collapses At Aminshover Rebbe’s Tisch In Bayit Vegan, 4 Injured
A bleacher packed with chassidim collapsed at the Amshinover Rebbe’s Neilas Chag tisch in the Bayit Vegan neighborhood of Jerusalem on Tuesday afternoon.
One person was moderately injured and three people were lightly injured.
Emergency services were called to the scene and evacuated three people to Shaarei Tzedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospitals.
“When we arrived at the scene, we saw a large commotion and three injured people in various states at the scene after being injured as a result of a bleacher collapsing,” Hatzalah paramedics said.
“Together with MDA paramedics and a rescue team, we provided initial medical assistance to a 15-year-old suffering from head and stomach bruises in a mild-moderate condition, an 11-year-old boy suffering from mild limb bruises, and a 25-year-old man suffering from facial bruises. They were evacuated in an intensive care vehicle and MDA ambulances for further treatment in the trauma rooms at the Hadassah Ein Kerem and Shaare Tzedek hospitals in the city.”
Rosh Yeshivas Don't Want Their Students to Protect Other Jewish People “Bochurim Will Go To Jail:”
So far they haven't explained how 45 Jews were killed in Meron if "Torah is Matzil"
Torah isn't "matzil" if you do not care about your fellow Jew in our very own Jewish country! This "Torah is Matzil" mantra wasn't made by Moshe Rabbeinu, Yehoshua, Shaul, Duvid, Shlomeh Hamelech. BTW even Shevet Levi went to war in a Milchemes Mitzva a defensive war! Even a Chassan under the Chupa has to go to war! The Roshei Yeshiva, with all due respect to them are completely out of touch with the vast majority of the Jewish people and are clueless to what is going on. They should be busy preparing lists of bochrim that are roaming the streets and who have no shaychis to learning and get them quickly to put on uniforms. If the RYs are afraid that they will go off the derech, they should sit with government officials and work out plans for separate units. But this is not sustainable!
?האחיכם יבאו למלחמה ואתם תשבו פה
Rosh Yeshivas Porat Yosef HaGaon HaRav Moshe Tzadka, one of the most senior Sefardi Roshei Yeshivos in Israel, spoke strongly against the new Chareidi draft law currently being drafted during the Purim seudah on Monday in Jerusalem, Kikar H’Shabbat reported.
“The Roshei Yeshivos should gather for a meeting and we’ll declare in one voice that our bochurim don’t recognize the law and they will all go to prison,” HaRav Tzadka said. “What should be done? This is the best option in my opinion. The Va’ad HaYeshivos should gather the Rabbanim and decide that all yeshivah bochurim will go to prison. What will they do? Take everyone to prison? So they’ll go.”
HaRav Tzadka instructed those who asked him about the issue to also speak to Rosh Yeshivas Chevron HaGaon HaRav Dovid Cohen in order to consult with him about what to do about the new law.
Kikar H’Shabbat published a recording of the conversation between HaRav Cohen and a Sefardi avreich.
Avreich: “I was sent by HaRav Tzadka to discuss the new recruitment bill.”
HaRav Cohen: “I haven’t seen the draft and I’m not well-versed on the matter but as I have expressed my opinion in the past, I and the Roshei Yeshivos are completely opposed to recruitment targets.”
During a time of war Chareidim Are Ready to topple Government Because they refuse to Serve in our own Jewish Country
The חילול השם that is being done by “Charedim” is horrific. They are okay demanding money for their institutions but they also want their students not to serve in any capacity. Shame on them. This is brech worthy. Nauseating.
In the latest twist in the Charedi draft saga, the United Torah Judaism party (UTJ) is threatening to quit Netanyahu’s government if a Draft Law is passed that includes sanctions and quotas.
According to sources involved in the negotiations, Charedi political leaders on Tuesday evening raised the threat of abandoning the coalition, and demanded the removal of economic sanctions against yeshivas and draft quotas for Charedim. In addition, a Knesset meeting that was scheduled for Tuesday was postponed indefinitely amid opposition from Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara, Finance Ministry officials, coalition members, and Agudas Yisrael representatives.
The deadline to submit an outline for the new law is Wednesday, which was set by the High Court.
The heads of the Chareidi parties met with Netanyahu on Monday to discuss the newly drafted recruitment law, which dropped a controversial clause raising the exemption age for lomdei Torah to 35. However, it still regulates the status of Torah learners, establishes recruitment targets for Chareidim who aren’t learning full-time, and outlines financial sanctions on yeshivos that fail to meet recruitment targets.
Some sources claim that Netanyahu is expected to ask the High Court for an extension of several more days, in order to reach a government agreement.
HYPOCRISY: Biden YM"S ‘disappointed’ Israel cancels delegation to D.C. after throwing Israel under bus
John Kirby, the White House national security communications advisor, told reporters on Monday that the Biden administration is “disappointed” that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called off a high-level delegation to Washington to discuss a potential Israeli ground operation in Rafah.
Israel decided to cancel the ministerial visit after Washington abstained on, rather than vetoing, a ceasefire resolution at the U.N. Security Council on Monday.
“We’re very disappointed that they won’t be coming to Washington, D.C., to allow us to have a fulsome conversation with them about viable alternatives to going in on the ground in Rafah,” Kirby told reporters.
Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi had been scheduled to arrive in Washington on Tuesday for meetings with U.S. counterparts to discuss Israel’s plans for a military operation in southern Gaza. Kirby said the officials would discuss proposals for “viable options and alternatives to a major ground offensive.”
Following Monday’s vote, Jerusalem announced that “in light of the change in the American position, Prime Minister Netanyahu decided that the delegation will not depart.”
Kirby denied a shift in U.S. policy in abstaining from the nonbinding ceasefire resolution. There is no reason for there to be an escalation of tensions between America and Israel, he said.
“Nothing has changed about our policy—nothing,” Kirby said. “We still want to see a ceasefire, and we still want to get hostages out—all of them. And we would still want to see more humanitarian assistance get in to the people of Gaza. The reason we abstained is because this resolution text did not condemn Hamas.”
Kirby also denied that there has been a change in the way the Biden administration talks about the potential Israeli military operation in Rafah, from asking to see a “credible plan” to rejecting the operation outright.
“We said weeks ago that we believe a major ground operation in Rafah would be a disaster, absent any proper accounting for the safety and security of the refugees that are still there,” Kirby said. “We still believe the same thing.”
“I don’t see any change in the rhetoric,” he said. “We don’t support a ground operation into Rafah.”

Mother of 12-Year-Old Accused of Stabbing 56-Year-Old Woman: ‘He’s Just a Boy, We Learn from Our Mistakes’
The mother of a 12-year-old Harris County, Texas, boy who allegedly stabbed a 59-year-old says she is sorry but her son is “just a boy” and “we learn from our mistakes.”
Click2Houston reported the boy allegedly stabbed the “59-year-old woman outside of her April Valley Court home on Saturday afternoon,” following an argument with the woman.
Investigators said the boy and his 7-year-old brother were on bikes, and they rode off after the argument only to return. It was upon returning that the 12-year-old allegedly stabbed the woman.
When the mother of the 12-year-old spoke to reporters about the incident she said, in part, that she is “remorseful.”
She also said her son is “just a boy” and “we learn from our mistakes.”
FOX 26 noted the 12-year-old is still in police custody and has now been charged with “aggravated assault.”
Newsweek: Hamas Hails Biden's 'Clear Changes' on Israel Policy
A senior Hamas official has told Newsweek that the Palestinian movement has identified shift in the United States' position toward Israel after Washington declined to back its ally's stance at the United Nations, a change the group believes is due to pressure being felt by President Joe Biden from at home and abroad.
After using its permanent member status to issue several vetoes against U.N. Security Council calls for a ceasefire since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war nearly six months ago, the U.S. abstained on Monday from the latest draft resolution demanding a cessation of hostilities throughout the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The move drew condemnation from Israel, which canceled a high-level delegation set to visit Washington for talks this week.
Hamas, usually deeply critical of the extensive political and military support the U.S. has extended to Israel, praised the passing of the resolution. The group believes Washington may be forced to make other tough decisions as pressure builds to find a solution to the deadliest-ever flare-up in the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Regarding the American administration, there is no doubt that there are clear changes in its policy towards Israel," Hamas senior official and spokesperson Ghazi Hamad told Newsweek, "and this is perhaps due to the stupid and foolish policy of the occupying state, which commits genocide, killing civilians, and starvation."
"America has found that Israel is putting it in an awkward position before the world, and it cannot justify its retaliatory actions against civilians," he added. "America also feels that Israel is floundering and is not achieving any of the goals it has set for itself."
Left-wing activist who hired one of Farrakhan's 'top soldiers' has visited Biden White House 7 times
Terence Muhammad, the lead events and field coordinator for the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Hip Hop Caucus, has repeatedly praised the Nation of Islam and its current leader, Louis Farrakhan, according to a Fox News Digital review of social media posts. The Hip Hop Caucus, whose stated mission is to fight injustice and enact change, has been involved in key Biden administration policy decisions.
And according to the White House visitor logs, Hip Hop Caucus President and CEO Lennox Yearwood has visited at least seven times since Biden took office, with six of those visits happening in 2023. In the most recent example, Yearwood and two other Hip Hop Caucus officials, Tanya House and Cynthia Swann, were hosted in the West Wing for a private meeting with White House Domestic Policy Council adviser Sofia Carratala.
"Bless Minister [Louis Farrakhan] allowing one of his top soldiers [Terence Muhammad] 2 be w/ me for #MOW50. Much LOVE to the [Nation of Islam]," Yearwood wrote in a 2013 post during an event commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington.
In April 2015, during an event protesting police brutality, Muhammad posted a picture of Yearwood "with Malik Farrakhan and the brothers of the F.O.I." The acronym "F.O.I." appears to be a reference to the Fruits of Islam, the paramilitary wing of the Nation of Islam.
Prepare for a Biden-Netanyahu showdown: Israel sees UN resolution as a real threat
Israelis by and large will likely brush off the Security Council resolution as yet "another example of a delusional UN," but high-ranking Israeli officials see it as a real threat to Israel's freedom of action, as a deliberate undermining of Western legitimacy to act against Hamas terrorists, and a a potential weapon that will be seized by Israel-haters around the world to demand an end to the war even before the return of the captives and the toppling of Hamas.
The doom and gloom that had until Monday been dismissed as paranoia became a potential reality in the hours following the resolution, which calls for a halt to the war in Gaza for the entire month of Ramadan and the release of the captives passed without condemning Hamas.
The text was hailed by the murderous terror organization, and Palestinian representative to the UN also demanded that the international community actively force Israel to implement the decision with the tools at its disposal (and there are such tools). The sponsor of the resolutions even went on to contradict the US by saying they viewed the decision as binding.
So is this just American naivete or an attempt by Washington to use tools at its disposal to show the Israeli government that it is serious in its intentions against the operation in Rafah? Senior Israeli officials who held talks with the White House in the hours leading up to the resolution in tried to have the wording changed or have it vetoed – as was the case with previous similar statements – but they were told that "Very senior officials at the White House are opposed to a veto this time."
The Biden administration had felt compelled to show a tougher hand on Israel for electoral purposes, but Israel sees this move as a way to appease progressive voters on the backs of the captives and Israelis living in border communities.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reaction – scrapping the talks that had been planned in Washington – at first glance, appears measured. The rationale is that if the White House is not interested in supporting Israel's efforts on the battlefield, there is no reason for a senior Israeli delegation to travel to Washington to hear alternatives to the operation in Rafah.
But this is not going to be the end of Israel's response. The American decision caused consternation from within the Democratic Party and even more intensely among Republicans – who may now do what they did in 2015 all over again. Back then it was President Barack Obama who came out against Netanyahu, which resulted in the latter being invited for a fiery speech in Congress in which he lashed out at the administration This time it's Biden who is president, and the current Speaker of the House has already said he would invite Netanyahu.
There are those who think that these actions will ultimately push Biden to express unequivocal support for the continuation of Israel's offensive operations in Gaza until Hamas is defeated.
The pressure exerted from Israel and internally from Republicans and within the Democratic Party is supposed to silence the rising tones from the progressives, or at least create a counterweight that will force Biden not only to quietly support Israel by arming it, but also publicly. This may also be what Israel needs most at this stage, when the legitimacy of its actions is dwindling at an alarming rate. It needs American backing on the world stage that would push back against the pressure exerted by European countries that have already begun taken action to stop the war.
