Singer-actress Bette Midler, star of Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2, suggested that President Joe Biden arrest Republican members of Congress and allow the FBI to use deadly force in order regain Democrat House majority.
“Now that Joe has total immunity, many are urging him to be GOP ruthless. Here’s a suggestion for implementing his new powers,” Midler wrote in a Friday X post, sharing a screenshot from an opinion piece published by The New Republic.
Lady Victoria Starmer, a Jewish woman with a rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted traditions, is the new British prime minister’s wife.
Intertwined with her Jewish upbringing, her life story plays a significant role in shaping the values and practices of her family.
From regularly observing Shabbat to maintaining strong connections with the Jewish community, Victoria’s influence extends beyond the domestic sphere into her husband’s, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer's, political career.
Lady Starmer’s steadfast commitment to her faith and cultural traditions, as well as her involvement in combating antisemitism, emphasizes the unique role she will play.
Originally Victoria Alexander, Starmer was born in 1963 in North London.
Her father was of Polish-Jewish descent, and her mother, a community doctor, converted to Judaism upon marriage.
Growing up, Starmer was immersed in Jewish traditions and cultural practices, which played a significant role in shaping her values and outlook on life.
In the Starmer household, Jewish traditions are actively observed and cherished. Despite Keir being an atheist, the family regularly observes Shabbat, marking the weekly day of rest with family gatherings and traditional rituals.
Thousands of people protested Saturday evening on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv and at several intersections across the country, demanding the approval of the deal with Hamas and the announcement of an election date.
At the end of the central protest at the Kaplan intersection in Tel Aviv, participants blocked the Ayalon highway northbound, and two were arrested. During the event, the police violently arrested Shahar Mor, the nephew of hostage Avraham Munder.
Sunday is planned to be a "day of disruption" to mark nine months since the October 7 massacre, and the protesters called on the public to join them in the strike "until all the hostages return."
Approximately 2,000 people attended the protest near the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Caesarea, set a submarine model on fire, and called, among other things, for his resignation.
The IDF said that the strike killed Meitham Mustafa Altaar, a key operative in Hezbollah’s air defense unit.
“Meitham led many of the unit’s activities and took part in the planning and carrying out of numerous terrorist attacks against Israelis,” the IDF spokesperson said. “Meitham also flew to Iran multiple times, where he gained knowledge and assisted in building up Hezbollah’s force and arsenal of Iranian weapons.”
“His elimination significantly harms the capabilities of Hezbollah’s air defense unit.”
A parody social media account of the fake “Chief Rabbi of Gaza” has duped another Squad member.
The re-election campaign of stridently pro-Palestinian Rep. Cori Bush (D-Missouri) was considering a possible fundraiser with “Rabbi Linda Goldstein” — a bogus X account that spews anti-Israel bile to catfish eager-to-believe progressives.
The account — which previously fooled Bush’s congressional comrade Rep. Jamaal Bowman — reached out to Team Bush on June 23 with the fundraising idea, exchanges shared with The Post reveal.
“I’ve been bouncing around different cities since my congregation was displaced from Gaza after Israel’s invasion on October 7,” Goldstein wrote in an email to Ronika Moody, Bush’s finance and engagement director.
“Also – would [Bush] travel to the Gaza border for the fundraiser? The optics could be incredible!”
Moody responded on June 27, writing, “Cori is interested in hosting in Gaza and it’s something she has been trying to plan. Unfortunately, we have not been successful with that opportunity as of yet.”
“Theme is Gaza?” Moody asked.
Goldstein — who has boasted of using a menorah made of missiles and digging terror tunnels into American universities among other outlandish antics — suggested the fundraiser’s theme could be “the morality” of intifada.
“The topics are built around finding a final solution to the problem of Zionism,” added Goldstein, without a response from Bush’s campaign.
“Cori Bush is the perfect example of an ’empty suit’ antisemite.– completely clueless about how the Israel-Palestine conflict works, but eager to speak up because it gives her cover to publicly hate Jews,” said the man behind the parody account, a pro-Israel lawyer named Michael, who declined to give his last name.
Like Bowman, Bush is stridently pro-Palestine and polls suggest she is heading for a loss in the Aug 6 contest against St. Louis prosecutor Wesley Bell.
The State Prosecutor's Office will find it difficult to file against the suspects on charges of murder, and may be satisfied with an indictment for theft of weapons, according to Channel 13 News.
One of the two suspects in the murder of a terrorist from Hamas's elite Nukhba force, commented on the case for the first time from his grandfather's house, where he is under house arrest pending another decision.
The suspect is 22 years old from the town of Elkana. He commented: ''The murder of a Nukhba terrorist. It sounds absurd. The people of Israel and I went to the south to fight in the Gaza envelope, where the army did not arrive on the first day.''
Speaking to Ynet, he mentioned that he had served in a combat unit during his regular service. On October 7th, he called a police officer friend and another friend: "We raced south to fight, and already at 8:24 we were in a battle at the Sha'ar Hanegev Junction with four other elite soldiers who unfortunately were killed in action against the terrorists. There was high-intensity fighting there against the terrorists and we risked lives. My friend took a bullet in the shoulder and continued to fight."
The corresponding editorial board column pulled no punches, slamming Biden’s debate performance and stating that he is “unfit” to be president. The board criticized Biden’s “mental decline” and his inability to “finish a sentence about Medicare,” questioning whether he should be trusted with the nuclear codes.
The Economist’s editorial followed similar calls from other publications, including The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, urging Biden to drop his re-election bid after the CNN Presidential Debate on June 27.
The magazine’s critique sparked widespread attention and debate, with some commentators noting that even liberal outlets are now questioning Biden’s fitness for office. Economist and podcaster Kip Herriage observed, “When the Economist turns on one of their own, it’s OVER.”
The refugees, part of a group of over 100 who were brought to Cairo, have come to the conclusion that they will not receive US citizenship as they had hoped and have turned their attention to Israel. [many of them identify with Satmar, which had encouraged them to apply for US citizenship.]
The group is headed by Yosef Levi, and most of them are from the Marhabi and Hamdi families. A few weeks ago a relative of the families from Israel visited them and some said they had despaired from reaching the US. Others are still hoping to reach the US, which demands that they waive their Yemenite passports if they wish to receive refugee status. There are other procedural difficulties with moving to the US.
Dr. Yigal Ben-Shalom, a former Welfare Ministry director-general and now the head of the association for developing the community, culture and heritage of Yemen, told Zman Yisrael that “Israel is the homeland which the Jews of Yemen prayed to and yearned for, and to here Jews from Yemen should come.” Ben Shalom is trying to promote their aliya via the Jewish Agency and the International Fellowship.
