Crazed Joey brags about using ‘extreme pressure,’ threats against Israel

 

President Joe Biden told a left-wing journalist that he is wielding “extreme pressure” against Israel and that he has threatened consequences should Jerusalem not follow his agenda, in a bizarre interaction that was posted to the social media platform TikTok.

At a White House event for influencers, left-wing journalist Jonathan Katz approached Biden and asked him about his characterization of anti-Israel campus protests as antisemitic.

Katz also asked Biden why he sent some $26 billion in military aid to Israel when far-left voices in his Democratic party are accusing Israel of genocide.

Despite an aide attempting to intervene to prevent him from speaking to Katz, Biden decided to answer the questions.

“Israel’s security in the region is essential. And that’s fundamentally different than how Israel acts in Gaza,” Biden said.

“As you probably know, I’ve been putting extreme pressure on the Israelis to open up more humanitarian access in Gaza. And I think we’re getting close.

“I’m pushing hard. [Israel is] not going to volunteer to” provide additional humanitarian aid to Gaza, Biden added.

Other attendees at the event then approached Biden and spoke to him.

While Katz did not interrupt their conversations, he remained in the president’s vicinity, waiting for him to elaborate further.

However, when Biden noticed that Katz had not walked away, he suddenly began speaking aggressively to the journalist.

“I see you’re a typical press guy. I can trust you as far as I can throw your phone,” Biden said. “And I have a good arm, I can throw it a long way.”

The president then abruptly changed tact, saying “My point is this…I have made very clear to the Israelis what they have to do in the near term, and if they don’t, what’s going to happen.”

When Katz questioned if that meant the U.S. would cut off funding to Israel should Jerusalem not adhere to American demands, aides swooped in and hustled the journalist away from Biden.

The president reportedly has a testy relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with American media reports claiming that Biden referred to him as an “a-hole” and “bad f-ing guy” in private conversations.


Last Jew in Yemen Who Refused to Leave Dies and is Buried by Local Arabs

 

I'm wondering if Satmar Chassidim will make his grave a shrine since he refused to go to Israel! 

Last Thursday, Yehia Ben Yosef, one of the last remaining Jews in Yemen who refused to leave, passed away. 

Local non-Jewish residents buried him.

Eliyahu Moshe Shlomo Zimbalist from Beit Shemesh Among Those Fallen



Soldier from Beit Shemesh among the fallen*

Eliyahu Moshe Shlomo Zimbalist HYD from Nofei Aviv was one of the eight who were killed on Shabbos. He was the son of Simeon and Sara Zimbalist from HaShoshan.

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit on Sunday morning cleared for publication of the names of five of the eight soldiers who were killed in the explosion of an APC in Rafah on Saturday:

Sergeant Elyahu Moshe Zimbalist, 21, from Beit Shemesh.

Sergeant Itay Amar, 19, from Kokhav Ya'ir–Tzur Yig'al.

 Staff sergeant Stanislav Kostarev, 21, from Ashdod.

Staff sergeant Orr Blumovitz, 20, from Pardes Hanna-Karkur.

Staff sergeant Oz Yeshaia Gruber, 20, from Tal Menashe.

All of them served in the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion.

On Saturday night, it was cleared for publication that one of the eight IDF soldiers killed in Rafah was Captain Wassem Mahmoud, 23, from Beit Jann.

Mahmoud was a deputy company commander in Engineering Battalion 601. He commanded the APC which went up in flames.

In addition, the IDF cleared for publication on Sunday morning that Captain Eitan Koplovich, 28, from Jerusalem, and Senior Staff Sergeant Major Elon Waiss, 49, from Psagot, fell in battle in the northern Gaza Strip.

Both served in the 129th Armored Battalion of the 8th Armored Brigade.

Two soldiers were seriously injured in the incident in which Koplovich and Waiss fell. They were evacuated for medical treatment at a hospital and their families were notified.

The town of Beit El announced on Saturday night that its resident, Sergeant Shalom Menachem, 21, was one of the victims of the APC disaster in Rafah, which left eight soldiers dead.

"Shalom Menachem was raised in Beit El and is survived by his parents and seven siblings. He fought for five months in Gaza, defending the State of Israel's security, and fell as a hero while serving in his role. The funeral details will be announced later," an announcement read.

The Nahal Sorek Regional Council announced that IDF soldier Yakir Levi, 21, from Kibbutz Hafetz Haim was killed in the Rafah tragedy.

From a preliminary investigation of the event, two options are now being considered. One is that an anti-tank missile hit the APC, and the second is that the APC hit a powerful explosive device that caused the explosives and mines on it to explode.

Commenting on the incident, IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said on Saturday night, "Tonight we delivered the hardest news to the families of eight IDF soldiers who fell in action in Gaza."

"In the early morning, with the completion of the operation on the northwestern part of the area, infantry, armored and engineering troops from the 401st Brigade entered the area in convoys of armored fighting vehicles in order to position themselves in the contact lines. According to the information we have at this stage, a powerful explosion occurred in one of the engineering vehicles in the convoy, seemingly caused by an explosive device planted in the area or as a result of anti-tank missile fire. Inside the armored vehicle were the eight soldiers who were killed," said Hagari.

"Following this difficult incident, a team of experts from the Ministry of Defense and the IDF will examine the armored vehicle and all the details of the incident until we reach findings," he added.

Dramatic Footage: “Noa, We’re Taking You Home”


 

Israel Police on Motzei Shabbos published footage of the moments that Israeli security forces broke into the apartment where hostage Noa Argamani was being held.

“Noa, everything is all right. We’re taking you home,” one of the officers is heard saying. “You’re safe. We’re taking you to the car.”

The video continues in the car and the officers are heard saying: “We’re from Yamam and the Shin Bet. We’re taking you home. We’re very excited that you’re here and we’re proud of you.”

Noa is then heard saying: “I’m excited. I’m simply very afraid of the way back.”

The Yamam officers later said that Noa’s first question was: “Is my mother still alive?”

Crazy Joe slams Smotrich’s transfer of $134 million from PA’s frozen funds to terror victims

 

 In a Thursday afternoon post on X, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that he signed an order transferring about $134 million from the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) frozen funds to victims of terrorism.

Smotrich described the order, which he signed on Sunday, as an act of “historical justice,” saying that the PA “encourages and favors terrorism by paying the families of terrorists, prisoners, and released prisoners.”

“By the judgments that awarded compensation to the victims of terrorism, we offset the same amounts from the PA’s funds and transfer the awarded money to the families of the victims of terrorism,” Smotrich added.


On Thursday, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller described Smotrich’s order as “not appropriate” and “an extraordinarily wrongheaded decision by the minister.”

“We have made quite clear to the government of Israel that these funds belong to the Palestinian people. They should be transferred to the Palestinian Authority immediately,” Miller stressed. “They should not have been held. They should not be delayed.


“The money belongs to the Palestinian people, and it’s important that [they] have the ability to fund their government to pursue activities as they deem fit,” Miller further stated.

“But also, the case that we have made to Israel is that this kind of decision is extraordinarily self-defeating,” Miller added. “It doesn’t just hurt the Palestinian people; it hurts Israel as well.”


According to Miller, the PA has worked incredibly hard to maintain calm and stability in the West Bank over the years, especially since October 7.

“And this kind of action by the Israeli government risks destabilizing the West Bank and further harming Israel’s security,” he said.

The Jerusalem Post reached out to a spokesperson for Smotrich for comment.
