The US-built temporary floating dock off the coast of Gaza is becoming more temporary than ever, it seems.
A part of the pier broke off and floated its way on Saturday to Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv, arriving at around lunchtime.
The $320 million pier has faced myriad challenges since its first installation last month, having broken apart and floated to Israel a few weeks ago, arriving that time in Ashdod.
Despite rumors the project would be terminated, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) posted a statement on the X social media platform this weekend, saying the pier had been rebuilt and would continue serving as a conduit for humanitarian aid to Gaza delivered via a maritime corridor via Cyprus.
“At approximately 8:52 am (Gaza time) June 19, United States Central Command (US CENTCOM) personnel supporting the mission to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians, re-anchored the temporary pier to the beach in Gaza,” CENTCOM wrote.
“The temporary pier had been relocated to avoid forecasted high seas and to ensure the structural integrity of the pier and safety of our service members. At no time during this event did US troops enter Gaza,” CENTCOM emphasized. Entry of US personnel to Gaza is strictly prohibited by Hamas terrorists who still maintain some control over the enclave.
“Trucks carrying humanitarian assistance across the temporary pier began delivery again today, June 20, and approximately 656 metric tons (1.4 million pounds) of aid were delivered to the beach in Gaza. This is the largest single day delivery of aid to date,” CENTCOM wrote.
“To date, over 4,160 metric tons (9.1 million pounds) of humanitarian aid have been delivered from the pier to the marshaling area where they can be collected by humanitarian organizations for onward delivery.”
It’s not clear how the pier could have been used to deliver aid when parts of the structure washed up Saturday in Tel Aviv …
How J Street Ruined Jamaal Bowman's Career by Convincing Him to Go Against Israel
 |
| In good old days Bowman met with Naftali Benett |
A week ago, we reported that Hillary Clinton endorsed Democratic challenger George Latimer who is running against the incumbent, Squad member Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), in New York’s 16th congressional district. Clinton’s endorsement followed The Hill/Emerson poll that gave Latimer 48 points over Bowman’s 31.
Bowman, who in 2020 unseated 16-term incumbent and devoted friend of Israel Eliot Engel, started his career in the House with a pro-Israel position, making him enemies inside the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and raising question marks among fellow Squad House members. In September 2021, for instance, Bowman voted yes on providing Israel with an additional $1 billion in aid to fund its Iron Dome missile defense system.
The change in Bowman’s stance on Israel was clearest on July 18, 2023, when he and eight other progressive Democrats voted against a congressional non-binding resolution that “the State of Israel is not a racist or apartheid state,” that Congress rejects “all forms of antisemitism and xenophobia,” and that “the United States will always be a staunch partner and supporter of Israel.”
This was followed naturally on October 25, 2023, when Bowman and the same eight progressive Democrats, together with Thomas Massie (R-ken), voted against resolution 771 supporting Israel after the October 7 Hamas attack. The resolution stated that the House “stands with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists,” and “reaffirms the United States’ commitment to Israel’s security.” it passed with 412 yes votes, 10 no votes, and 6 abstentions.
Then, on November 17, 2023, Bowman called reports of Israeli women being raped by Hamas a “propaganda,” and a “lie.”
What happened to Jamaal Bowman?

Crazed Joey is a one-trick-pony with a single act: Blame Donald Trump
by Michael Goodwin NYP
‘Burn our boats,” came the order from 16th-century Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés.
Having landed in the New World, legend has it that he wanted to drive his troops to victory by eliminating their only chance of escape.
Joe Biden is nobody’s idea of a swashbuckling adventurer or military leader, but he is adopting a political version of Cortés’ gamble.
Signs indicate the president is giving up on selling his White House term as a success and betting his re-election campaign on a single message: Donald Trump is bad for America.
Make that really, really, really bad.
He’ll kill democracy and lock up his opponents.
Remember Jan. 6 and, oh, he’s a convicted felon, too.
From here to November, that’s the sum and substance of what the president and his surrogates will say.
It will be the heart of their advertising and get-out-the-vote campaigns, with virtually every dollar going toward defining Trump as the absolute worst person in the world.
Gone from the campaign plan, or so diminished it might as well be gone, are any claims of Biden’s own accomplishments.
Remember his brief effort to sell “Bidenomics” as a raging success?
Shelved as a failure and object of ridicule.
How about the claim that Biden tamed inflation, which was 9% when he took office?
Debunked as a lie.
He inherited 1.4% inflation, which rose to 9% on his watch.
Watch: Two terrorists eliminated in the heart of Qalqilya
Officers from Unit 33 (the Gidonim) of the Israel Police, in cooperation with IDF troops and directed by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), on Friday attempted to arrest two terrorists from the Islamic Jihad organization in the Qalqilya area.
During the arrest, fire was opened at the forces, who returned fire and eliminated the terrorists. Guns were found on the bodies of the two terrorists. One of the terrorists who was eliminated had planned to carry out an attack in the area.
Palestinian Arabs reported that the two terrorists were members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, and their names are Ihab Abu-Hamad and Ahmed A-Salami.

An Israeli aerial strike in Gaza has eliminated senior Hamas commander Raad Saad, Israeli media reported Saturday, citing reports in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli media sources reported that Saad is a member of Hamas’s military wing and serves as the head of the terrorist group’s operations department, effectively the no. 4 Hamas leader in Gaza.
Earlier, the IDF stated that fighter jets had struck two Hamas military infrastructures in the Gaza City area. The military noted that more details were to follow.
Later, Ismail Al-Thawabtathe, the director of the Hamas-run government media office in Gaza, told Reuters that Israeli attacks in districts of Gaza City had killed 42 people.
Al-Thawabtathe did not specify to Reuters how many of that number were terrorists and how many may have been civilians.
According to the media office director, 24 of those were killed in a strike on houses in the Shati refugee camp outside of Gaza City.
The other 18 were reportedly killed in a strike on houses in the Tuffah neighborhood of the city.
In Lebanon, an Israeli drone struck deep in the Bekaa valley. The IDF said it had eliminated a top Hamas terrorist in Lebanon after it struck a vehicle near the town of Khiara in Lebanon’s West Beqaa District, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of the two countries’ border, Lebanese media reported.
The IDF later published footage from the attack, saying it had targeted Ayman Ghatma. Ghatma was killed in the attack, the army said. It said he was responsible for supplying weapons to Hamas in Lebanon as well as to the al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya terror group.
The army said the drone strike was carried out over Ghatma’s involvement in promoting attacks against Israel.
iNCREDIBLE: CRAZY JOE'S NOMINEE FOR FEDERAL BENCH IS A BALDFACED LIAR! WATCH!
In an extremely dramatic clip, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) exposed Karla Campbell, U.S. President Joe Biden’s nominee for the U.S. Circuit Judge for the Sixth Circuit, on Thursday about her role of an advisory board at Workers’ Dignity, as well as her multiple lies to the Senate Judiciary committee.
“Workers’ Dignity has condemned Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine. They have said that Israel is engaged in ethnic cleansing,” the senator said. “Do you agree with that?”
“No senator,” Campbell said.
“How can I believe you?” Hawley said. “You just lied under oath a
moment ago.”
“You’ve lied to us up and down on this committee,” he added. “This is a serious problem Ms. Campbell. I have to say, I’ve never seen a witness—never in five years in this committee—sit here and lie to us and change the story person to person.”
It is quite rare for any witnesses, let alone a judicial nominee, to be caught committing perjury during their OWN hearing. Campbell was clearly and visibly flustered as she was caught in her web of lies.
In addition, Senator John Kennedy busted Campbell for lying as well:
Campbell is of counsel at Stranch Jennings & Garvey in Nashville, Tenn., a role she has held since 2022, according to a May 23 White House release. She previously clerked for Judge Jane Stranch on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and was a lawyer at Watson & Renner in Washington, D.C. She holds a law degree from Georgetown University and a college degree from the University of Virginia.
The Nashville, Tenn.-based Workers’ Dignity/Dignidad Obrera, which was founded in 2010, states “that transforming society requires working-class people of all races, ages and walks of life to build resilient and democratic organizations capable of disrupting strategic institutions and industries,” per its website.
“Only then will we be able to seize power and shape our own conditions,” it adds.
Rabbi Moshe Wolfson Passes Away at 99

| Rav Moshe Wolfson as a bachur, the Rabbi in the center is Rav Simcha Wasserman z"l |
Rav Wolfson, was one of the most revered rabbinic figures of our time. His lectures, in both English and Yiddish, his sefarim, Emunas Etecha, and his book, Wellsprings of Faith, have inspired thousands to strengthen their emunah (faith), their attachment to Torah and prayer, and to strive ever higher in their service of Hashem.
Rav Moshe was a closed talmid of Harav Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz, zt”l, the first Menahel of Torah Vodaas. In 1943, he joined Aish Dos, a groundbreaking program initiated by Rav Shraga Feivel to train rabbinic leaders for positions in yeshivos and day schools across America. This marked the beginning of Rav Wolfson’s illustrious career in Chinuch.
He taught at Yeshiva Torah Vodaas for many years and was eventually he was appointed Mashgiach by Harav Yaakov Kamenetsky, zt”l in the 1960’s. He also served as the marah d’asra of Camp Torah Vodaas for numerous summers, fostering a devoted following of talmidim who later established Emunas Yisrael, with Rav Wolfson as their Rav.
The levaya is scheduled to take place at 10 AM at Emunas Yisroel. Kevurah will take place in Teveria, in The State of Israel .

Soros Funding NYC teacher's group behind anti-Israel walkouts
A group of New York City public school teachers behind controversial pro-Palestine student walkouts has received thousands of dollars from George Soros’ Tides Foundation, The Post has learned.
Teachers Unite, a registered not-for-profit based in Manhattan’s Financial District, received $11,000 in 2023 from the billionaire left-wing investor’s social justice philanthropy.
Teachers Unite boasts a mission of “developing the leadership skills of progressive educators” and fighting the “school-to-prison pipeline,” according to tax filings and its website.
But in recent months, the teachers group has pushed the controversial anti-Israel walkouts in NYC public schools and held organizing meetings in schools across the city, according to posts on Instagram.
The group shared an eight-page toolkit for walkout participants that demanded, “Free Palestine from the river to the sea” and “Protect teachers facing retaliation from administration and parents for teaching about Palestine.”
The group is headed by co-executive directors Charlotte Pope and Bella Week, who didn’t appear in city payroll records.
At least one of its recent board members is a member of the powerful United Federation of Teachers union.
The group reported nearly $400,000 in revenue in 2022, according to IRS filings, with Week receiving a salary of $66,000 and Pope $12,000.
The group first got Soros funds in 2023, according to its annual report, and also received support from Radfund, a group focused on “frontline communities” and “structural inequality,” and the Communities Transforming Policing Fund.
The Communities Transforming Policing Fund advocates for programs and services as alternatives to police, jails and prisons.
Teachers Unite gets 80% of its funding from the three groups and several others, according to an annual report.
The Tides Foundation also gives to WESPAC, according to a 2022 filing, a nonprofit that reportedly funds Within Our Lifetime and National Students for Justice in Palestine, two of the groups behind many of the campus demonstrations since the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.
Encampments that sprung up across universities this spring were found to be organized by the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine.
