Neturei Karta terrorist Arrested After Attack On Monsey Service Station



33-year-old Benzion Rivlin, a member of Neturei Karta, was charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime and trespassing, after attacking the Monsey Service Station over its support for Israel, MONSEY SCOOP REPORTED.

Rivlin attempted to damage an American/Israeli flag at the service station early Tuesday morning using spray paint, but was caught by Ramapo police officers moments later. Sources tell Monsey Scoop that a Ramapo Police officer saw Rivlin in the act, and arrested him following a brief pursuit.

This is not the first such incident at Monsey Service Station, as the business has faced vandalism, flag theft, and protests since the owner’s daughter began displaying an Israeli flag earlier this year.

“Between the stealing of the flags and the spray-painting on the sidewalks… the chanting and protesting outside and the dead fish thrown in front of our building, I couldn’t even tell you how many times we’ve been going through this,” the business told News12.

While police cannot confirm if Rivlin is connected to previous incidents, he was arrested in March on a different hate crime-related charge. Rivlin is due in court on September 19 for the latest charges.

Hostages Fought Off Hamas Killers In Final Moments

 



Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, along with five other hostages, reportedly fought to defend themselves in the moments before they were executed by Hamas terrorists in a Gaza tunnel, according to new details from the IDF investigation.

The families of the six hostages were briefed over the weekend by IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari, who shared that several of the victims tried to resist their attackers before being shot. The bodies of Goldberg-Polin, 23, and the other hostages—Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Ori Danino, 25, Alex Lobanov, 32, Carmel Gat, 40, and Almog Sarusi, 27—were discovered on August 31 in a tunnel beneath Rafah in southern Gaza. Evidence suggested that Goldberg-Polin, Danino, Lobanov, and Sarusi defended Yerushalmi and Gat before they were killed.

The tunnel conditions were described as dire, with no air vents, toilets, or showers, and too low for the hostages to stand. Items including protein bars, a flashlight, and a chess set were found at the scene, along with notepads that have been given to the families.

Autopsies revealed that all six hostages were killed by short-range gunshots, likely the day before their bodies were discovered during an IDF raid. Hamas has since taunted the families by releasing pre-recorded videos of the hostages, including a message from Goldberg-Polin where he told his family, “I love you, I miss you… keep on fighting.”

In a somber security cabinet meeting on Sunday, the IDF presented harrowing footage from the tunnel. The video, recorded by IDF forces, revealed the inhumane conditions in which the hostages were held.

Cabinet members were reportedly shocked and horrified by the footage, describing it as “extremely tough to watch.” The IDF plans to show the video to the victims’ families before deciding whether to release it to the public.

At a Knesset committee meeting on Monday, Esther Buchshtab, whose son Yagev was also murdered in captivity by Hamas, confirmed that her son was executed. She criticized government policy, saying that military pressure leads to the killing of hostages, rather than their rescue.

Mossad chief Dedi Barnea briefed the cabinet on ongoing negotiations for a deal, indicating that talks are still underway, with an American mediation proposal expected, but not guaranteed.

Candace "Ovens" Suspended and Demonetized by YouTube Over Antisemitic Remarks

 





Candace Ovens has been suspended from YouTube for one week following a series of inflammatory and antisemitic comments targeting the Jewish community. Ovens, who has a history of controversial remarks, faced the platform’s decision after a video featuring an interview with rapper Kanye West, widely criticized for its antisemitic content, was removed from YouTube.

Along with the suspension, Ovens’ channel has been fully demonetized, meaning she will no longer be able to profit from her content on the platform. This action follows growing concern over her incendiary rhetoric, which has sparked outrage from many viewers and advocacy groups.

One of the most shocking elements of Ovens’ recent behavior includes her defense of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, infamous for his cruel medical experiments on Jewish children during the Holocaust. Ovens reportedly dismissed the documented atrocities committed by Mengele, claiming that his actions were exaggerated and part of “bizarre propaganda.” Such remarks have intensified backlash against her, with many accusing Ovens of promoting Holocaust denial and antisemitism.

This is not the first time Ovens has faced criticism for her controversial views. She has often positioned herself as a provocateur, but her latest comments appear to have crossed a line for many. Advocacy organizations, including those focused on combating hate speech, have lauded YouTube’s decision to suspend and demonetize her channel.

The suspension is seen as part of a broader effort by major social media platforms to address harmful content, particularly that which spreads hate or disinformation. Many have called for stricter measures to be implemented against individuals who use their platforms to incite division and spread harmful ideologies.

This suspension may signal a turning point for Ovens, whose rhetoric is increasingly being rejected by both viewers and platforms alike. However, it remains to be seen whether this will curb her presence on social media, where she continues to hold a substantial following.

The USA is Being Run By a Movement Not By a President!


 Joe Biden has gone from a vacation at a billionaire’s estate in California to a postponed appearance at the DNC convention in Chicago, and then once more to a vacation in Delaware.

The man who formally serves as president of the country barely has anything resembling a public schedule. And his private one appears to be equally empty. Biden is satisfied with occasionally showing up at a few events a week, mumbling something and then moving on.

Meanwhile his VP is on the campaign trail and appears equally out of reach, only now finally agreeing to a single CNN interview with Gov. Tim Walz, her running mate, there to back her up. If Kamala Harris can’t handle a press conference, can she handle running a country?

And if neither POTUS nor the VP are running the country, who or what actually is in charge?

Sarah Friedland wins Venice prize – then viciously attacks Israel

Her remarks are, of course, disgusting. But what’s so scary is the heavy applause and approval coming from the audience. Look at these well-dressed, sophisticated, educated people applauding the condemnation of Jews. These are not the stupid naïve protesters on our campuses and streets. 

 The 81st Venice International Film Festival witnessed Sarah Friedland's "Familiar Touch" win awards for Best Director, Best First Film, and Best Actress. During her acceptance speech for the Luigi de Laurentiis Prize, Friedland, the self-hating Jew, took the opportunity to make a political statement and voiced her support for Palestinians.

 During her acceptance speech, she said, "As a Jewish American artist working in a time-based medium, I must note, I'm accepting this award on the 336th day of Israel's genocide in Gaza and 76th year of occupation. I believe it is our responsibility as filmmakers to use the institutional platforms through which we work to redress Israel's impunity on the global stage. I stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and their struggle for liberation."

International Human Rights Lawyer and CEO of the International Human Rights Forum, Arsen Ostrovsky, called her a "self-hating Jew" who "spout lies against Israel and essentially called for genocide of the Jewish state."

In Stunning Report: Kamala Harris’s Aides Are Unsure of Her Policy Positions

 



Not even campaign aides are sure of what Vice President Kamala Harris’s policy positions are, Axios reported Friday, fueling concerns that Harris is an empty political shell with intentions to do or say whatever is needed to get elected.
With only 60 days left until the presidential election, time is running out for Americans to learn about Harris’s ambiguous plans. She has only sat for one pre-recorded interview since joining the race seven weeks ago on July 21, 2024.
In those seven weeks, Harris allegedly changed her view, outright flip-flopped, or has an unknown position in nine areas:
  1. Banning plastic straws (Flip-flopped)
  2. mandate for only producing electric and hydrogen vehicles by 2035 (Unknown)
  3. Banning fracking (Flip-flopped)
  4. Gun confiscation through a buyback program (Allegedly no longer supports via anonymous campaign spokesperson)
  5. Decriminalizing illegally crossing the southern border (Allegedly no longer supports via anonymous campaign spokesperson)
  6. Reparations (Unknown)
  7. Building a border wall (Allegedly no longer supports via anonymous campaign spokesperson)
  8. A federal jobs guarantee (Allegedly no longer supports via anonymous campaign spokesperson)
  9. Medicare for All (Flip-flopped)
“Harris and her campaign haven’t provided many details explaining her policy shifts,” Axios admitted Friday. “Even some of her own staffers aren’t sure where she stands on a range of issues.”
Axios reportedly asked the Harris campaign six days in a row about her unknown policy positions before getting a “no comment” from aides.
Harris’s treatment of the media underscores her conundrum: Harris cannot powerfully campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.
CNN’s Dana Bash exposed Harris’s conundrum during her first pre-taped interview.

Harris owned the Biden-Harris administration’s economic record while she simultaneously blamed Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump for it. The contradiction was stark, producing an outcome that forced Harris to tout her administration’s policies to validate her candidacy all while she undermined her record and her candidacy.

Top DOJ Spokesman Admits that Trump Cases Are a ‘Perversion of Justice’ on Hidden Camera

 

The chief spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Southern District of New York (SDNY) was caught tearing into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other prosecutors for carrying out a “perversion of justice” in targeting former President Donald Trump, hidden camera footage captured by an undercover journalist revealed.

Nicholas Biase, the public affairs director for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York (SDNY), spilled his feelings about the liberal DA when speaking to an unidentified operative with podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club” on multiple occasions.

In one July 31 clip from what appears to be a bar, Biase said, “To be honest with you, I think the case is nonsense,” after Trump was convicted of 34 felonies for allegedly falsifying business records.

'The Authorities won't protect Jews'| Betar issues 'travel warning' for New York City


 The Betar Organization has issued a warning for Jewish tourists not to travel to New York City due to mounting antisemitism in and around the city.

Betar, a 100-year-old international organization founded by Zeev Jabotinsky which has recently been reformed in the United States, wrote in its warning: "Due to rising violence and support for terrorism in NYC, Jewish visitors and tourists are urged not to come to NYC. It is not safe. Authorities will not protect Jews. Don't come to NYC until they remove the handcuffs from the NYPD and arrest and prosecute criminals."

“We issue this travel warning in pain as we say one of the largest cities in the world for Jews simply isn’t safe today. We urge Jews worldwide to avoid the area of NYC unless absolutely necessary as Jews are being targeted. If you wear visibly Jewish garb you are in danger as the NYPD has employed a hands-off policy for arresting Jew-haters. Worse, the DA doesn’t prosecute Jew-haters," a spokesman for Betar USA said.

"NYC clearly doesn’t care about safety and there are safer cities for Jews to visit than NYC. We will continue to train those Jews in NYC in self-defense but there’s no reason for tourists to put themselves in danger,” he added.

Michael Sinensky, interim executive director of Betar, USA said: “We issue a travel warning to NYC today in pain as we say one of the largest cities in the world for Jews simply isn’t safe today. We urge Jews worldwide to avoid the area of NYC unless absolutely necessary as Jews are being targeted and the NYPD has employed a hands-off policy for arresting Jewish haters. They aren’t prosecuted."

He noted: "I’m a lifelong New Yorker who was recently forced out as my wife was violently assaulted. NYC clearly doesn’t care about safety and Jews must speak up to ensure our communal safety. Simply crime isn’t prosecuted and quality of life continues to deteriorate. We urge Jewish tourists to avoid NYC.”

Antisemitic incidents have increased in New York City since the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023. The NYPD stated that an overall rise in hate crimes in 2024 has been fueled by antisemitic attacks. In every month since October 7, the tally of anti-Jewish incidents has been higher year over year. Jews remain the group most targeted in hate crimes nearly every month.

An August report by Tom DiNapoli, the New York State comptroller, found that antisemitic incidents made up 44% of all hate crimes in the state last year, and 88% of those motivated by religious bias.
