US Can NO Longer be Trusted With Israeli Intel ...US docs show Israel preparations for airstrike in Iran and leaked online

 

US intelligence documents showing Israeli military preparations for a looming strike on Iran were leaked online, according to reports.

Federal intelligence officials confirm the authenticity of the top secret documents that were leaked by Telegram user “Middle_East_Spectator.”

There is an active investigation into who had access to the alleged Pentagon document, according to CNN.

The document is marked top secret and is only meant to be seen by those with proper clearance in the US and the “Five Eyes” – Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

The documents describe military preparations by Israel – including the amount of various kinds of missiles – at Ramat David Airfield on the dates of October 15th and October 16th.

There are multiple agencies compelled to conduct investigations into leaked intelligence reports – including the FBI and the Pentagon, CNN reports. 

This leak comes as the region waits with bated breath for Israel to respond to the October 1st missile barrage Iran launched into the country.

“If it is true that Israeli tactical plans to respond to Iran’s attack on October 1st have been leaked, it is a serious breach,” Mick Mulroy, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East told CNN.

“Trust is a key component in [the US-Israel] relationship, and depending on how this was leaked that trust could be eroded,” Mulroy added.

In a statement posted to X, Middle East Spectator wrote, “We have no connection to the original leaker, and we are not aware of his identity. We also have no knowledge on the authenticity of the documents.

“Furthermore, we assumed that the documents had been floating around elsewhere on Telegram, making them a part of the public domain.”

The Middle East Spectator statement added the self-proclaimed “open-source news aggregator” was “not aware of any additional leaked classified US documents.”

Earlier Saturday, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu’s vacation house was struck with an explosive drone that launched from Lebanon in an apparent assassination attempt. Netanyahu was not at that residence at the time of the attempt.

Kamala Harris publicly agrees with protestor accusing Israel of genocide: ‘What he’s talking about, it’s real’

 

Vice President Harris publicly agreed with a protestor this week who interrupted her to accuse Israel of committing “genocide.”

The moment went down during a campaign stop Thursday at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, when a pro-Hamas UWM student began yelling out while the Democratic presidential nominee was speaking, video of the exchange showed.

“I am so invested in you all, in every way,” Harris can be heard saying as the interruption began.

“And in genocide right?” the heckler said.

“Billions of dollars in genocide. Billions of dollars in genocide.”

Someone off-camera can be heard whispering “shut up,” but the outburst continued.

“I’m speaking right now,” Harris said before launching into her now well-worn response to similar interruptions.

“I know what you’re speaking of. I want the ceasefire. I want the war to end. And I respect your right to speak but I am speaking right now.”

“But what about the genocide? What about the genocide though?” the protestor, wearing a keffiyeh, yelled.

The man was then escorted out of the hall while yelling, “19,000 children are dead, and you won’t call it a genocide.”

In the silence that followed his exit, Harris turned back to the audience.

“Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real. That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real and I respect his voice,” Harris said.

The vice president has never previously suggested that Israel’s defensive war in Gaza amounts to a genocide of Palestinian people.

“Kamala Harris just publicly validated the false and vicious accusation that Israel is engaging in genocide,” David Friedman, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, told The Post Saturday.

“Many, including myself, always suspected that she held this warped, antisemitic view of Israel’s self-defense against Hamas barbarism. But the cat is now out of the bag,” he added.

“Her view is as ignorant as it is malign. … To give credence publicly to this disgusting blood libel disqualifies Harris from holding any public office, let alone the presidency,” he said.

The behind-closed-doors event at the school’s Lubar Entrepreneurship Center was closed to journalists, but video of the moment was posted online. Harris’ motorcade was also met with pro-Hamas protesters when she arrived on campus, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

The heckler appears to have been affiliated with the group UW-Milwaukee Popular University for Palestine Coalition, which posted a first person account of the confrontation to their Instagram page Friday.

Harris’ family has also been public about their sympathies.

Both Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff and niece Meena Harris, have raised cash for the Palestinian cause.

Ella Emhoff’s activism has included soliciting funds for the UN’s Palestinian relief agency, which the United States cut funding to over staffers’ potential involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks.

The incident comes as Harris has faced growing skepticism from Jewish voters, with poll after poll suggesting their support for the Democratic party is eroding.

Harris’ comments seemingly endorsing the position that Israel is committing genocide took place just one day after the country killed Hamas terror leader Yahya Sinwar.

“That is not the view of the Biden-Harris Administration or the Vice President,” A Harris campaign official said. 

Israel’s success has humiliated its critics

 


Opinion by Telegraph View
In the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the 
death of Yahya Sinwar marks the “beginning of the day after Hamas”. After a year of fighting in Gaza, the architect of the October 7 massacre has faced justice. It is a triumph for the Israel Defence Forces, a grievous blow to Hamas and Iran’s terrorist network – and a chastening moment for London and Washington.

After all, if Sir Keir Starmer and President Joe Biden had got their way, Israel would have been forced into accepting a ceasefire months ago that would have left Sinwar at large, and Hamas’s military network considerably more capable.

Indeed, at one point Mr Biden stated that he would cut the supply of arms to Jerusalem if Israeli forces entered the city of Rafah. His justification was that America would not be “walking away from Israel’s security”, but Israel’s ability to “wage war” in heavily populated areas.

Given the proclivity of Hamas and its terrorist cells for hiding among civilian populations, the flaws in such a position should have been obvious. And indeed, Rafah is where Sinwar was eventually caught and killed.

Predictably, Sir Keir and Mr Biden have seized on this triumph to once again attempt to pressure Israel into negotiating with Hamas. Mr Biden has declared that he will discuss “ending the war once and for all” with Mr Netanyahu, while Sir Keir has said “an immediate ceasefire” is “long overdue”.

Humility, apparently, is not a characteristic either leader greatly values. Despite the mounting evidence, neither appears to be willing to accept the clear fact that Israel knows how to prosecute its own conflicts better than they do. Then again, the advice of these so-called allies is not given with Israel’s well-being uppermost in mind. In the case of Sir Keir, his stance appears to be at least partly the result of electoral considerations, with the Labour Party having suffered unexpected setbacks in heavily Muslim constituencies in this year’s general election.

The result has been a series of decidedly unfriendly gestures, including withdrawing opposition to highly politicised efforts by the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for Mr Netanyahu, and suspending a set of arms exports licences to Israel. The absurdity of these actions has been amply highlighted by the fact that while our Government is piling criticism and pressure on Jerusalem, our own Armed Forces are having to intervene to protect the Jewish state from Iran.

Rather than once again assuming that we know better than leaders in Jerusalem what is best for Israel, or what military action might achieve, we should simply offer our support to an ally in its fight for freedom and democracy.

Rabbi Katz who signed a "heter meah rabbanim" to a Monsey Get-Refuser Retracts His Position! Case now reaches Israel!

This has been loosely translated from Hebrew! 

The Get-Refuser came to Israel before Sukkos for a short visit,  his wife an Israeli citizen found out about this and managed to get an order not allowing him to leave the country until he gives her a proper divorce! 

His family came to Israel to be with him for Sukkos, after they realized that their dear beloved Get-Refuser would not be able to leave the country and may even face Jail, even though he is an American citizen! He is already married to another woman with the help of a bunch of rabbanim who got paid to sign a heter meah rabbanim! 

So the husband's family started a campaign, hanging and distributing peshqvils all over Yerushalayim, on the eve of Sukkot, which was written and signed by three rabbanim explaining on what basis they gave the "heter meah rabbanim" ," thus dragging Rabbi Katz the Tosher Dayen in Monsey into this mess!

 Rabbi Katz had sent letters to the Bais Din previously, stating that he was retracting and acknowledging the fact that he made a mistake and that it was really forbidden to have given the permit of "heter meah rabbanim" to the get-refuser!

 His family, the enablers, want to prove to the frum public in Yerushalyim that the heter meah rabbanim was done according to halacha!

Family members tried to get the U.S. Embassy involved but found out that there was nothing they could do because the woman is an Israeli citizen and has every right to sue him in Israel, and he will be forced to stay in Israel as long as there is no solution to the problem. 

Attempts to argue that the Israeli court and the rabbinical court do not have jurisdiction to hear this case have been rejected, and it is now clear to them that they will be forced to go through the process in Israel, which means that without convincing the Israeli rabbis that he has a legitimate heter he will be forced to stay in Israel, and it is possible that at some point when it turns out that he is the actual cause of this situation he will even go to prison as happened in another case. where the husband spent a long time in prison, even though they were both residents of the United States

Many askanim have gotten involved in the matter because this situation is not getting any better but getting more complicated because the wife has had enough of these rabbanim who just sign without knowing the issues just to get a couple of thousand dollars, and decided to file lawsuits against them in the US!

 The problem according to those in the know is that family members on the husband's side will not agree to enter any discussions unless the wife gives him millions of dollars. The question is, that now that these rogue rabbanim who signed the heter are getting sued, if the  new legal situation will create pressure on them to withdraw their signatures and join Rabbi Katz to say that the whole heter was a fraud!

The Rabbinate of Israel has already ruled that there can be no talk of money at all, the divorce must be given to the woman without ant strings attached , and the husband must meet all her other demands.

 A group of hundreds of women are demonstrating in front of their husbands' house, and others are now starting protests and exposing the rabbis who signed the heter!

Ramat Beit Shemesh Rabbis Goldstein and Kupshitz Prohibit Going to MBD Concert on Chol Hamoed Sukkos!

Why you ask?
Answer: Because it is being Sponsored by the City of Beit Shemesh! 

The concert by MBD will be separated by gender but that doesn't stop these 
"Kill Joys" from prohibiting people from going there! 

The MBD concert tickets are going for 20 Shekel and the rest is being sponsored by the city! 
6,000 tickets have already been sold, and there are only a few left! 

I wasn't planning to go, but now that these "English Speaking" Rabbis have issued a "fatwa" I decided to go! 


The "Fatwa" reads even though the concert is separating the genders, it has been prohibited by all "Gedoilei Yisrael" though only these two English Speaking Rabbis, Rabbi Goldstein and Rabbi Kupshitz,  signed the Kol Korah! 

The Chabad concert featured below also sponsored by the city, is also prohibited by these extremist Rabbis! 

My kindergarten teacher harbored the Nazis' Angel of Death - and was haunted by her secrets




One of Betina Anton’s earliest memories growing up in Brazil in the 1980s is of her kindergarten teacher, the kindly ‘Tante’ Liselotte.

But the slim German woman with permed hair and a halting Portuguese accent - who she lovingly referred to as ‘aunt’ - was hiding a horrific secret, one that would take decades to unravel.

Liselotte Bossert and her husband Wolfram harbored the notorious ‘Angel of Death’ Josef Mengele - arguably the most wanted Nazi of all time.

Mengele lived with them and their two children - who called him 'Uncle Peter' - at their home in the Brooklin neighborhood of São Paulo for 10 years, enjoying barbecues and taking regular vacations to the beach, all while being hunted for his evil war crimes.

It was said that the doctor enjoyed his sadistic work - selecting which prisoners would die in the gas chambers and who might live another day - so much, he would even show up on his days off.

A step-by-step rundown of how Israel eliminated Yahya Sinwar

 

The drone spotted a man sitting in a chair.

Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was taken out in a chance encounter Wednesday after a relentless yearlong hunt — which took Israeli troops by such surprise that one of the soldiers involved in the operation even joked about it.

The Israel Defense Forces had been hunting Sinwar, 61, since the terror organization’s deadly attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

In recent weeks, the Israel Defense Forces believed their top target was hiding out in the Tel al-Sultan area of Rafah — but his exact whereabouts were unknown until soldiers sifting through the rubble in the wake of this week’s strike found an eerily familiar-looking corpse.

News quickly began to spread that the mastermind behind the single deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust was dead.

But it seemed so unlikely that the terror chief was taken out in a routine raid by chance, that troops in the IDF unit that unknowingly opened fire on Sinwar joked about it.

“When we heard he was killed, we joked around saying, ‘How crazy would it be if it was us?’” a soldier involved in the Rafah operation told Israel’s Channel 12.

The remains were later confirmed to Sinwar through DNA testing.

Here is how the luckiest terror mission played out.

Drone strikes Netanyahu’s home

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed “nothing will deter us, we will keep going until victory,” after a drone struck his vacation home in northern Israel Saturday as the military continued its operations in Lebanon and Gaza.

Netanyahu, 74, was not in the area when the drone was fired from Lebanon at his residence in Caesarea, his spokesperson said.

The drone strike on the prime minister’s residence comes just days after Israel killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

The drone hit an undisclosed building, officials explained. There were no casualties.

The attack was not immediately claimed by Hezbollah, which has launched rockets and drones into Israel for over a year, including more than 100 shot over the border from Lebanon Saturday.

“Iran tried to eliminate the Prime Minister of Israel,” one senior Israeli official said, according to Israel’s Channel 12.

Two other drones that crossed into Israeli territory were intercepted, according to the military.

Harris’ Fox News interview proves she lacks answers — because she lacks beliefs



 


A few months into Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential run, her handlers faced a dilemma: Should they continue cocooning the candidate or unleash her on the public?

Both options came with serious political risks.

Sure, Democrats could keep pretending Harris was a generational talent, but her refusal to sit down for an interview, much less give a press conference, was eroding this fantasy.

On the other hand, as her handlers surely understood, the more people hear from Harris, the more concerned they tend to get.

Indeed, Harris is a thermonuclear platitude dispenser. Few people in American history have expended so many words to say so little.

Her turns of phrase are often so cartoonishly ludicrous, they should be used in college textbooks to explain to students what a “tautology” is.

After watching Fox News’ Brett Baier interview Harris Wednesday, it is clearer than ever that extemporaneous speaking isn’t Harris’ strong suit.

The presidential candidate has an uncanny ability to respond to straightforward questions in circuitous, mind-bending arrays of irrelevant non sequiturs.
