Special Place in Hell for Ilana Glazer @ilazer
Warning: Foul Language!
There’s a special place in hell for a woman who builds her career by capitalizing on her Jewish identity and Holocaust jokes, only to sell out her people so she can remain popular with the antisemites who want to kill them.@ilazer, you think we didn’t notice how silent you were… pic.twitter.com/RrAiaOlZCc

Hostages' families warn: Proposed prisoner swap deal will leave most hostages in Gaza
Relatives of some of the hostages held in Gaza, members of the Tikva Forum, on Monday afternoon held a press conference, calling for Israel not to agree to the proposed prisoner swap deal and warning that the proposal would only harm their loved ones.
Zvika Mor, father of hostage Eitan Mor, warned: "Such a deal buries my son there, and will leave him behind, along with dozens of other hostages. Such a deal will endanger the State of Israel's security and bring the next massacre."
Eliya Abutbul, Eitan's brother-in-law, added: "After nine months, it is time to change tactics. It's time to think in another fashion about how to bring the hostages home. If this way is not working, then it obviously needs a change."
Talik Go'ili, mother of Yassam officer Ran, stressed: "We oppose this deal, because if it takes place, they will construct a building on top of my son's body in one of the streets in Gaza."
Boaz Miran, whose brother Omri is held captive by Hamas in Gaza, said, "We oppose [this] deal because it will leave most of the hostages inside [Gaza], including my brother. The best deal is defeating Hamas and increasing the pressure which will bring about the release of all of the hostages."
Riki Baruch, sister-in-law of Uriel Baruch, who was murdered on October 7 and whose body is held by Hamas, said, "If such a deal is implemented, in another few months the Baruch family will request permission to enter Gaza in order to recite Kaddish and Psalms near Uriel's body."
Avigdor Liberman to French Jews "GET OUT NOW!"
Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman has urged French Jews to move to Israel following the left-wing rise in yesterday’s elections.
Although no party won a majority in the second round of France’s parliamentary elections on Sunday, in which all 577 seats of the National Assembly were in play. According to Le Monde, the left-wing New Popular Front alliance won 182 seats while the centrist Ensemble, backed by President Emmanuel Macron, won 168.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the French far-left leader, has promised “to recognize the State of Palestine.” Liberman’s address to French Jews pointed out Mélenchon’s history of statements against Jews and Israel, calling it ‘pure antisemitism.’
Liberman has avoided the question of whether elections or unity with the current coalition, are on the horizon in Israel. Growing tensions regarding a hostage exchange agreement between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir have led many to speculate that Netanyahu will seek new partners to avoid elections if the government disbands.
Liberman also dismissed the claims about an Israeli murdering a captured Hamas terrorist, saying the case was a “theater of the absurd” and calling on the State Attorney’s Office to offer “an apology and release all the detainees.”
Virulently Anti-Israel French Far-Left Win Most Seats In Legislative Elections, Throwing Country Into Turmoil
A coalition of the French left that quickly banded together to beat a surging far right in legislative elections won the most seats in parliament but not a majority, according to polling projections Sunday, a stunning outcome that threatens to plunge the country into political and economic turmoil.
The projections put President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance in second, no longer in control of parliament, and the bruised far right in third.
With no bloc securing a clear majority, France faces uncertainty that could rattle markets and its economy, the European Union’s second-largest, and cast a shadow of political instability over the Paris Olympics opening in less than three weeks.
Final results are not expected until late Sunday or early Monday in the highly volatile snap election that redrew the political map of France even before votes were cast, galvanizing parties on the left to put differences aside and join together when Macron announced just four weeks ago that he was dissolving parliament and calling the election, in a huge gamble that the president hoped would shore up his centrist alliance.

Yitzhak Yifat Central Figure in 1967 Photo Dies at 81

| Yitzhak Yifat (center) and other Israeli paratroopers reach the Western Wall in Jerusalem, June 7, 1967 |
The central figure in an iconic 1967 photograph of three paratroopers at the liberated Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem died on Saturday. Yitzhak Yifat was 81.
Yifat, 24 at the time the photo was taken, can be seen in the center of the photograph holding his helmet. The powerful image was taken just after the Old City was freed from Jordanian occupation during the Six-Day War.
They appear visibly moved as they gaze upwards at the Western Wall, which is the outer supporting wall of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.
The photo was nicknamed in Hebrew “The Crying Paratroopers” or “Paratroopers at the Western Wall.”
The period of Jordanian rule of the eastern part of Jerusalem has been referred to as “among the most repugnantly intolerant of all.”
Jordan destroyed all but one of the 35 synagogues in the eastern part of Jerusalem. They also desecrated the cemetery on the Mount of Olives and used tombstones for roads and latrines.
Tourists wanting to visit had to present baptismal certificates or other proof they weren’t Jews.
“Everyone talked about the Western Wall all the time, but we were new and we had never been there. That day was the first time any of us had ever been there,” Oshri told Channel 2 in 2017.
“I hardly remember the moment Rubinger took a picture of us. I remember that during the photoshoot Rubinger dropped to the floor and clicked his camera. Rubinger was a good man, a lover of the Israeli people and Israel and an excellent professional photographer,” Yifat said a few years ago of Rubinger, according to The Jerusalem Post.
After the war, Yifat became an obstetrician-gynecologist.
Just before the war, he was a grade-school teacher. Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Danny Ayalon tweeted on July 2:
“In 1967, I was 11 years old. My school teacher was a man by the name of Yitzhak Yifat. One day, he didn’t show up to class. He remained absent the day after & I didn’t know what happened. The 6 Day War broke out & I finally found my teacher—on the front page of the newspaper.”
Mohammed Asaduzzaman, the recently elected Mayor of Brighton in the UK
The British seaside town of Brighton and Hove has elected its first ever South Asian Muslim mayor.
Councillors unanimously voted for Mohammed Asaduzzaman, who was elected to Brighton & Hove City Council last May.
Council leader Bella Sankey said Mr Asaduzzaman was “warm, kind, funny and ambitious for our city”.
“Brighton and Hove can look forward to a mayor whose compassion has already left a mark on the city’s social, cultural, economic and political landscape,” she said.
Mr Asaduzzaman, who has lived in the city for 30 years, previously worked with the state minister for irrigation and water development in Bangladesh, and has a degree in political science.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, he provided 500 free meals to essential service providers.
He also pushed for vaccinations for those with uncertain immigration status, acted as an interpreter for those in legal need and gave support to victims of crime.
Ms Sankey added: “With three decades of residency in Brighton, he has woven himself into the very fabric of the community.
“His journey from Bangladesh to Brighton exemplifies a life dedicated to public service and community betterment.”

Biden’s State Department Used Data from Anti-Israel Org To Compile ‘Report Card’ on Jewish State
The report, based on data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), was produced in January 2023, several months after an Israeli election virtually guaranteed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would return to power. At the time, the Biden administration was preparing for diplomatic clashes with the Netanyahu government. Those divisions are now on full display as the United States pressures Israel to preemptively ink a ceasefire deal with Hamas and stop defending itself from Hezbollah militants along its northern border.
An internal State Department email chain reviewed by the Free Beacon shows the creation and dissemination of the report on so-called Israeli settlement growth. U.S. officials described the report as an update from previous data compiled by the Biden administration on Israeli activities in the West Bank.
Prior to Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror strike on Israel, the construction of Jewish homes in contested areas of the West Bank was a central source of tension between the Biden administration and the Israeli government, particularly under Netanyahu. When Netanyahu’s conservative governing coalition retook power in 2023, the Biden administration appeared ready to clash with Israel over the issue.
