Ivanka Talks About Her Judaism and ‘Lashon Hara’

 

Ivanka Trump, a Jewish convert and the daughter of President Donald Trump, appeared on the Lex Fridman podcast. It was her first ever podcast interview, a long and in-depth glimpse into her personal feelings and values.

Among the many topics covered, Fridman asked Ivanka how she coped with the enormous amount of attacks she suffered and how she remained stoic.

Ivanka responded that she feels things “very deeply” and she felt both the positive and negative in a deep way. She then discussed how evil the concept of “lashon hara” is in Judaism.

She said: “There’s a concept in Judaism called Lashon Hara, which means evil speech. The idea is that speaking poorly of another is almost the moral equivalent to murder, because you can’t really repair it. You can apologize, but you can’t repair it. Another component of that is that it does as much damage to the person saying the words than it does to the person receiving them. And I think about that a lot. I talk about this concept with my kids a lot, and I’m not willing to pay the price of that fleeting and momentary satisfaction of sort of swinging back because I think it would be too expensive for my soul. And that’s how I made peace with it, because I think that feels more true for me.”

Ivanka also touched on her father’s recent criminal conviction. She began by explaining why she is no longer as involved in politics as some of her other family members.

“It’s a pretty dark world. There’s a lot of darkness, a lot of negativity, and it’s just really at odds with what feels good for me as a human being. And, you know, it’s a really rough business. So for me and my family, it feels right to not participate,” she said.

Fridman replied, “I think part of that darkness is just watching all the legal turmoil that’s going on. What’s it like for you to see your father involved in that, going through that?”

Trump reiterated her support. “On a human level, it’s my father and I love him very much, so it’s painful to experience,” she said. “But ultimately, I wish it didn’t have to be this way.”

Sharren Haskel

Israeli MP Sharren Haskel has issued a stark warning regarding the safety of Jews in France after her 88-year-old grandmother was assaulted by a group of thugs.

Haskel revealed the disturbing news, emphasizing that such incidents have become alarmingly common in France. “It’s quite common in France,” Haskel stated, highlighting the frequent targeting of Jewish communities by antisemitic individuals. She explained that after the events of October 7, there has been a noticeable increase in antisemitic activities, with perpetrators “driving through Jewish neighborhoods trying to find Jews.”

This incident underscores the broader concerns about rising antisemitism in Europe, prompting discussions about the measures needed to protect Jewish communities and ensure their safety.

Further details about the attack on Haskel’s grandmother have not been disclosed, but the incident has sparked a renewed call for vigilance and stronger actions against hate crimes. Jewish organizations and leaders across Europe are voicing their solidarity with Haskel and her family, while urging authorities to take decisive steps to combat antisemitism.

As the situation develops, many are looking to the French government for reassurance and concrete actions to safeguard Jewish citizens and uphold their rights to live without fear in their own neighborhoods.

Take out the popcorn .... California delegate says Black women will 'blow the party up' if Dems pick a 'White man over Kamala Harris"

 California Democratic delegate Areva Martin told media personality Stephen A. Smith that passing over Vice President Kamala Harris as President Biden's replacement should he withdraw from the race would destroy the party. 

"If you pick a White man over Kamala Harris, Black women, I can tell you this, we are going to walk away," Martin said Tuesday. "We are going to blow the party up."

As speculation over Biden's status as leader of the party grows, Democrats are openly divided over who is qualified to run against former President Trump in the months before the election. 

"Who are we agreeing [to]?" Martin asked Smith. "There's a long list of Democrats, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, the list goes on and on." 

"Where is their consensus?" she continued. "You've got to build consensus. And there is not consensus right now."

"So where are we getting agreement from on whom this ideal Democratic candidate should be?" Martin said. "Tell me that." 

Martin, a civil rights attorney, said that the Biden administration deserved credit for its diversity. 

"Joe Biden, when he gets re-elected, which my prediction is that he will, he brings with him Kamala Harris, the most diverse administration in the history of this country," she said. "Y'all need to just stay the course. We got more Black judges appointed under Joe Biden than anyone, even President Barack Obama." 

Martin also compared the presidential race to a sports match, saying that Biden is the "star player" and deserves support. 

"I don't know anything about sports, but I know you don't give up on your star player in the middle of a game," she told Smith. 

"We are almost at the finish line. We have an opportunity to save this democracy. And I bet you, [if] you blow up Joe Biden, you might as well give Donald Trump the keys to the White House and let him start ruling the country in August," she said. 

A new national poll from CNN indicates that three-quarters of voters say the Democratic Party would have a better chance of keeping the White House with someone else other than Biden at the top of the party's ticket.

And the survey, released Tuesday by CNN, suggests that Harris performs slightly better than Biden in a match-up with Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee.

The poll was conducted entirely after Biden's extremely rough performance during last Thursday's face-to-face showdown between the two major party contenders.

The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. 

The Big Lie that the Allied Forces Defeated the Nazis!

 

To all my fellow Jews !

It’s long past time that we all realize that everything we believed about the history of the last 79 years is wrong. Just take a look around you. It almost doesn’t matter where you are in the world. Look deeply and what do you see?

We’ve been taught that the allied forces defeated the Nazis and that on May 7th, 1945, the Nazis surrendered. But when you look at everything we see and hear and read, and the very specific type of propaganda employed, and the types of personalities pushing the propaganda, you quickly realize that the Nazis were not defeated. Not even a little.

We start to realize they evolved. They learned what worked and what didn’t. They had many allies and sympathizers of their own spread all over the world, especially in the West and throughout Europe. They had an extensive spy network embedded in most countries indoctrinating, pushing their propaganda and recruiting for the next stage. Over the decades we’ve seen many glimpses of that evolution, from Nazi General Secretaries of the United Nations to the 1972 Munich Olympics attack perpetrated by Palestinian terrorists aided by their Nazi collaborators.

The close relationship between the Nazis and the Arabs of the region has been around for a century. Just as the Nazis gave Amin Al Husseini refuge in Berlin, so too did the Arab world give refuge to some of the most notorious Nazis after the war. Together they continued their joint efforts to eliminate the Jewish nation, wherever we were.

And here we are today, with the identical kinds of propaganda and propagandists, the Nazis of old have finally risen to show us exactly what they’ve become and evolved into, and their reach is literally everywhere. Every political party, every educational institution, the United Nations, the NGOs, the media. It’s almost like a far fetched James Bond film, yet when we look at everything happening around us with open eyes and clear minds, we can see it.

Sure we have some friends out there. But as a nation, we stand alone. The United Kingdom is going into their elections tomorrow and you cannot find a single party that doesn’t have strong elements of our enemies.

Few know what the Nazis are truly capable of more than the Jewish people. They didn’t just genocide 6 million of us. They took our wealth, our possessions, our identities, our everything. We had no defense against it then.

But we do have defense against it now. And the most important defense against it is opening our eyes and accepting that our greatest enemies of old have come together today to become our greatest enemies of now. We have to be united like never before. We have to accept that to live we must stand up and fight. We have our own nation and it stands proudly against all our enemies. Our soldiers put everything on the line to defend all of us. Our future. Our very existence.

Today we face an existential threat that we have never faced before. Sure we’ve defeated our enemies throughout history, but always at great cost. We must be ready to do it again and put everything on the line if we are to survive. We may need to do whatever it takes. There is no negotiation with our enemies. They have made it clear they have no interest. There is no diplomacy. There is no reasoning. And to survive, unfortunately, there can be no mercy. No empathy. No sympathy. No “we are better than this because we are Jews”. We are not fighting against those with morality. And we cannot give it. This is about the survival of our people and we have to stop trying to find the good in them. There is no good. They want just one thing… you, me, and everyone we know to be dead. That’s it. They keep telling you that. It’s time to believe them.

We have one chance to get through this. Only one. It won’t be easy and most of us will have to make the most impossible of choices. But we must survive. We will survive. But only if we are together.
