Mass Murderer Hassan Nasrallah eliminated in airstrike

On Friday afternoon, shortly before Shabbat, the IDF conducted a precise strike, eliminating Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi confirmed.

The strike took place in Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in the heart of Beirut, along with other senior officials in the terrorist organization.

Halevi stressed, "Nasrallah indiscriminately murdered Israeli civilians and aimed to end this war with the destruction of the State of Israel. We made sure that did not occur. We eliminated him, and we will continue to grow stronger."

He added, "Hezbollah has murdered innocent people worldwide, hiding his weapons under the homes of families, women and children and turning them into human shields."

"As we have shown, we will not allow such a threat to our citizens! We are determined to continue destroying the Hezbollah terrorist organization and to keep fighting. We have more missions ahead on all fronts—destroying terrorist organizations and their capabilities, returning our hostages—the mission is constantly before our eyes! As well as the safe return of the residents in the north and south to their homes.

"This week, the year comes to an end—a year where IDF commanders and soldiers fight bravely and work to put an end to the hardships of the past. The IDF stands with the bereaved families. We will continue to honor the path of the fallen.

"With the fighting spirit and resilience of the entire nation, the IDF will continue to safeguard our security!”

Biden Trying Hard to Make Netanyahu Look Like a Liar.. But it is backfiring!

 

On Friday morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office issued a statement saying: “Due to a lot of misreporting around the US-led ceasefire initiative, it is important to clarify a few points. Earlier this week, the United States shared with Israel its intention to put forward, together with other international and regional partners, a ceasefire proposal in Lebanon. Israel shares the aims of the US-led initiative of enabling people along our northern border to return safely and securely to their homes. Israel appreciates the US efforts in this regard because the US role is indispensable in advancing stability and security in the region.”

The statement concluded: “Our teams met Thursday, Sept. 26, to discuss the US initiative and how we can advance the shared goal of returning people safely to their homes. We will continue those discussions in the coming days.”

Hezbollah cease-fire plan proves Joe Biden, Kamala Harris are both naïve AND heartless

 

Team Harris-Biden’s approach to the Middle East isn’t just naïve — it’s devoid of any sense of right and wrong: Just look at Wednesday’s fantasy-land push from the White House, along with France, for a cease-fire between Hezbollah terrorists and Israel.

Since the day after Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack, Hezbollah has launched nearly 9,000 rockets, missiles and drones into Israel, forcing the evacuation of 60,000-plus people from the north.

A week ago, commanders of Hez’s elite Radwan Force met to advance an Oct. 7-style invasion of Israel that would have made Hamas’ attack look like an interfaith picnic.

Israel is finally fighting back: It wiped out the Radwan commanders in an airstrike and is moving to destroy Hezbollah’s rocket launchers and missile stocks.

Has it no decency? What choice does Israel have?

And President Biden’s statement with French President Emmanuel Macron didn’t even cite Hezbollah by name as a party to the fighting.

“It is time for a settlement on the Israel-Lebanon border that ensures safety and security to enable civilians to return to their homes,” the message reads. “We call for . . . the immediate support of the Governments of Israel and Lebanon.”

Sorry: The Lebanese government has nothing to do with it: It’s Hezbollah that’s the problem — and it’s not going anywhere voluntarily.

Indeed, Israel has warned Hez repeatedly that if it doesn’t quit the rocket fire and retreat north of the Litani River (about 18 miles from the Israeli border), the IDF will act.

The terrorists have ignored those warnings for a year, and now Israel is making good on its threat (a foreign concept for Harris-Biden) so its people can return home.

How clueless — and callous — for Biden and Kamala Harris to expect Israel to suddenly stand down now.

Heck, the idea itself was such a nonstarter for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he didn’t even bother to respond, his office tweeted.

Instead, Bibi vowed to “continue to hit Hezbollah with all our might.” 

If Biden-Harris had any true compassion, any desire for real peace and not just a three-week joke of a cease-fire for the benefit of anti-Israel voters, they’d encourage Israel to finish off the terrorists — and maybe even help.

Instead, the Pentagon says the US military won’t provide intelligence or other support for Israeli operations in Lebanon.

It’s beyond pitiful.

But it goes a long way toward explaining why the entire world is aflame.

Shmuel Abramson of Lakewood Calling Out the Despicable Vile Protest against the Jewish State by Chareidiem

 

 Eretz Yisroel is at war. Our brothers, fathers, and sons are literally dying on the front lines in Gaza and Lebanon. The toll of this conflict is devastating. Yiddishe families are grieving, communities are reeling, and the loss is palpable. Every day, we wake up to news of another tragedy, another life cut short. Yet, in the midst of this darkness, Eretz Yisroel, our holy land, is being kept alive through sheer nissim. Every missile intercepted, every soldier protected, every life spared feels like a miracle we must acknowledge.

And yet, at this critical moment, a protest is staged in Lakewood—our own crown jewel of Torah and Yiddishkeit—against the State of Israel. I have to ask: Who thought this was a good idea? What are we trying to achieve? I want to make it clear—I am no Zionist. I’m a proud, card-carrying Lakewood yungerman who cherishes the values of Torah and our mesorah. I understand the deep-seated issues many in our community have with the Medina and its government, especially regarding their treatment of the Torah world, the yeshivos, and the Crown Jewels of Klal Yisroel—the Torah-observant communities.

The criticisms are valid. The way the government of Eretz Yisroel treats the frum community is deeply concerning and often unacceptable. The Medina, in many ways, needs to be held accountable for its actions and policies. However, two wrongs don’t make a right. Protesting the State of Eretz Yisroel publicly, at this fragile moment, feels misguided and counterproductive. The world is watching, and we need to be mindful of how our actions are perceived beyond our own community.

We must publicly support Eretz Yisroel in the eyes of the broader world. This isn’t about Zionism; it’s about unity and survival. The Jewish people have enough enemies seeking our destruction. When we, as a community, stage protests against Eretz Yisroel in such a public way, we risk feeding into a narrative that is harmful to all Yidden, whether religious or not. Do we care that this may turn into a national news story? “Ultra-Orthodox Jews protest Israeli government”—imagine the damage this could do. What message are we sending to the rest of the world, to the media, to those who seek to delegitimize Eretz Yisroel and the Jewish people?

I am so baffled by how we even got here. We are rachmanim bnei rachmanim (merciful ones, the children of merciful ones). Our entire identity is rooted in compassion, in caring for one another. Yet, we are acting like peasants, without any strategy or foresight. Where is our wisdom? Where is our leadership? The Torah teaches us to be thoughtful, to consider the long-term consequences of our actions. In times of crisis, we are meant to come together, to show solidarity, not to create division.

Yes, there are issues that need to be addressed with the State of Israel , and yes, there are times for protest. But this is not that time. Right now, Eretz Yisroel is in the fight for its life. Our fellow Jews are under fire. Now is the time for tefillah, for achdus , for supporting our brothers and sisters who are literally in the line of fire. There will be a time to address the flaws of the Medina, but that time is not today. Let’s not lose sight of what really matters. Let’s focus on protecting and supporting the Jewish people, on standing with Eretz Yisroel, and on showing the world that we are one united people.

One final thought. My Heilige Zaideh was an Odom Gadol and leader in the Oilam Hayeshivos of America. During the 1967 war, he didn’t eat for 6 days when the “Treifeh Medina” was under attack. This was a Yid who couldn’t stand for the faults of that Medina, yet a yid is a yid is a yid!

The Meshiginar John Kirby Says Diplomacy is the Best Approach to Hezbollah’s Threats...Mamash Insane!

 

 White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was asked on Thursday about comments by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which appeared to reject the belief that Netanyahu is interested in a cease-fire with Hezbollah. .


“We would not have made the statement if we had doubts that the talks with the Israelis were positive,” Kirby stated.

“Netanyahu should be asked if he retracted his agreement. I can only say that, based on the conversations last night, we had every reason to believe that he was sincere in his intentions,” he added.

Earlier Netanyahu told reporters in New York, “My policy, our policy, is clear: we continue to strike Hezbollah with full force. We will not stop until we reach our goals and above all the return of the residents of the north to their homes. That is the policy, and may no one be mistaken.”

The Prime Minister’s office also said, “The reports of a ceasefire are not true. This is a French-American initiative that the Prime Minister has not even responded to.”

Speaking with ABC News host Linsey Davis, Kirby affirmed that while Israel has a right to defend itself, if the goal is to get families back home to the northern Israeli border, the best way is “through diplomacy, not an all out war.”

Regarding a potential cease-fire with Hamas, Kirby’s response was bleak. He said “Linsey I wish I could tell you that we are on the brink of a breakthrough here but we are not… and the principal obstacle to this is Sinwar himself. Kirby added that Sinwar is “sitting down there in a tunnel surrounded by hostages and unwilling to have any kind of meaningful negotiation and move towards a cease-fire.”

Alex Soros’ dinner date with Tim Walz reveals who’ll pull the strings in a Harris White House



Far-left billionaire George Soros has invested heavily in the narrative that anyone who notes that the web of influence he’s spun does in fact exist must be a conspiracy theorist — or worse, an antisemite.

His son Alex Soros, who was handed the keys to the $25 billion kingdom last year, has gone the opposite route: He practically brags about his sphere of influence on social media, where he posts photos of all the heads of state and influential figures he’s cozied up to, including Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi — and Kamala Harris.

Surely some of them wish Alex was a bit more private; when Soros met with Harris in June of last year (and posted the evidence to his socials) the tete-a-tete was excluded from Harris’ public schedule, implying that she thought that could prevent people from noticing. 

The younger Soros has visited the Biden White House two dozen times — with visible consequences, the latest being the FCC’s race to approve a Soros takeover of over 200 radio stations ahead of the presidential election.

And the Soros influence will only increase further in a Harris-Walz presidency.

Lakewood Masquerading "Atzeres Tefillah" to Bash Israel While Jewish Children are being Murdered by Hamas on a Daily Basis



 During a time when 1/2 million Jewish residents of Northern Israel are running to shelters every few minutes and while Jewish children in uniform are being murdered on a daily basis, Lakewood ass'kanim decided to denigrate and shame the only Jewish State in the world with a massive fake "Atzeres Tefillah" whose real purpose is to protest the "draft" ! The Zionist State is unquestionably the largest "Makom Torah" in the world and Torah is not being threatened! 

This is a fabricated out and out lie! 

The residents of Israel have seen the fake and the frauds during the last "bein hazamanim!" they saw thousands of healthy draft age boys, close their gemarras and vacation while their brothers in uniform, many of them married, were fighting for their very lives! 

These able-bodied bench "kvetchers" need to enlist in the army ASAP! Everyone needs to share in the burden! If they refuse then they shouldn't whine about not getting help from the government! Just keep sending your 90 year-old gedoilim on private Jets to schnoor! 

This fraud and fake "Atzeres" fool no one! 

לא מדובשך ולא מעוקצך

"We don't need your honey and we don't need your sting"

With nearly 100 hostages still languishing in Hamas captivity and acheinu bnei yisroel under the perpetual threat of rockets and missiles raining from the sky, yidden locally and around the world are gathering to their support and defense by beseeching Hashem for a yeshua.

This coming Sunday, the first day of Selichos, thousands of yidden from across the tri-state region will gather in Lakewood for a monumental atzeres tefillah in defense of our brethren hanesunim b’tzara u’beshivya in Eretz Yisroel, as well as to implore hakadosh baruch hu to spare Klal Yisroel from the scourge of antisemitism running rampant worldwide.

The atzeres will also address the impending implementation of new Israeli draft laws that threaten to force thousands of bnei torah into the military, posing an unprecedented threat to limud hatorah in Eretz Yisroel – the very lifeblood of the Jewish nation.

The atzeres tefillah, endorsed by dozens of rabbanim and roshei yeshiva from across the spectrum of Yiddishkeit, will be a stalwart and resolute show of achdus, as the largest Jewish communities in the U.S. join as one to proclaim their allegiance to Hashem, the Torah – and each other.
