OTD Youth Terrorizing Bnei-Brak Residents ... "Afraid to leave the house"
The stabbing of a yeshiva student in the Kiryat Herzog neighborhood resurfaces the phenomenon
of marginalized youths in the city "We've been complaining for a long time, but no one is
doing anything," residents of the neighborhood claim. "It was only a matter of time before it
came to a danger to human life"
The serious incident in Bnei Brak, in which a 23-year-old yeshiva student was stabbed in the Kiryat Herzog neighborhood – Bechdrei Chadarim – has resurfaced the phenomenon of marginalized youths in the city, which has intensified in recent times in the quiet neighborhood in the north of the city. Residents who spoke to "In the Ultra-Orthodox Quarters" express concern over the increase in cases of violence, and claim that the phenomenon has become a real threat.
Yaakov, a resident of the street where the incident took place, said in a conversation with "In My Ultra-Orthodox Rooms": "They walk around here at night, screaming, throwing bottles and harassing the residents. We've been complaining for a long time, but no one is doing anything. Now it's no longer just noise, it's an injury to a young man. It was only a matter of time before it came to human life."
According to the residents, some of the youths who roam around the city at night are involved in vandalism, theft and fights. "We are used to Bnei Brak being the city of the Torah, not a city of crime," said Rivka, a resident of the neighborhood. "Today I'm afraid to let the children leave the house in the evening."
According to Moshe, a longtime resident of the neighborhood, the stabbing of the yeshiva student was the culmination of the escalation that has been going on for many months: "Just two weeks ago, windows were broken near my house. Before that, we saw them cursing and threatening passersby. It used to be rare, but today it happens almost every night."
"Could end in disaster"
Some of the residents who spoke to B'Hadrei Haredim point an accusing finger at the police, which they say is not doing enough to eradicate the phenomenon. "The police's response comes too late, and even then they arrest two or three boys and release them within a few hours," says Haim, a father of four. "There is not enough punishment here to make them think twice before destroying property or harming people."
"A stabbing is not just another 'incident,'" Haim adds. "It's a sign that what has been until now – noise and breaking of property – is becoming much more dangerous. If it is not dealt with immediately, it could end in a bigger disaster. We are not asking too much – only to restore peace and security to the neighborhood. We can't live in fear in our city."
The Israel Police said in response: "The Israel Police is constantly working proactively to increase the security of the residents while maintaining continuous contact with the local authority. Upon receiving a report about the incident, police officers arrived at the scene quickly, conducted searches and opened an investigation that is still underway in order to reach the truth."
The incident began after a group of marginalized youths gathered in the street and created a noise late at night. A resident of the neighborhood asked the boys to stop the noise, but they responded by breaking his car with iron bars.
At the same time, the yeshiva student, who is not connected to the incident, passed by. Suddenly, one of the boys approached him and started punching him. During the attack, when the student tried to retreat, he felt a sharp pain and realized that he had been stabbed.
Medical teams from MDA and United Hatzalah gave the young man first aid at the scene and evacuated him to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, suffering from a penetrating wound and his condition is described as moderate. At the hospital, the doctors had to operate on him due to the serious injury.
Biden Wanted Trump Prosecuted Earlier, Regrets Garland Pick
President Joe Biden reportedly wanted the Department of Justice to target then-former President Donald Trump for prosecution far sooner and more aggressively than it did, and regrets naming Merrick Garland as Attorney General.
The report, published in the Washington Post on Saturday, echoes reporting nearly three years ago by the New York Times, which suggested in 2022 that Biden was frustrated with the slow pace of Garland, a “ponderous judge.”
The Post noted:
In private, Biden has also said he should have picked someone other than Merrick Garland as attorney general, complaining about the Justice Department’s slowness under Garland in prosecuting Trump, and its aggressiveness in prosecuting Biden’s son Hunter, according to people familiar with his comments.
…Ron Klain, Biden’s incoming chief of staff, pushed for Garland. He stressed that Garland — a federal judge with a sterling reputation for independence and fairness — would show Americans that Biden was rebuilding a department badly shaken by Trump’s political attacks.
Biden was persuaded, and some Democrats believe the decision had devastating results. Had the Justice Department moved faster to prosecute Trump for allegedly seeking to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents, they say, the former president might have faced a politically damaging trial before the election. (Others blame the Supreme Court and a Trump-appointed judge in Florida for repeatedly siding with the former president and delaying the cases; the Justice Department declined to comment.)
The Biden White House claimed throughout his presidency that it was not politicizing the Department of Justice, and was in fact depoliticizing it. Democrats claimed that the department had been politicized by then-Attorney General William Barr, who refused to release grand jury materials related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into so-called “Russia collusion.” Barr noted that it was against the law for him to release grand jury materials.
The Post omits one of the other reasons Garland was picked: he had been blocked from confirmation to the Supreme Court by Republicans in 2016, and his appointment was seen as a consolation prize, as well as a strike at the GOP.

Soon the end of the line for barcodes after 50 years
GS1, an international non-profit that maintains the global standard for barcodes, says they will be replaced by a new square version capable of storing much more information about products. Anne Godfrey, chief executive of GS1 UK, said almost half of British retailers have already updated their tills to accommodate the new codes. 'This has been in the works for some time, but Covid really accelerated it,' she said. 'During the pandemic, everyone got used to pointing their phones at QR codes in pubs and restaurants to access the menu.'
'Increasingly, QR codes that bring up bits of information are already appearing on the front of many products. Very soon we will say goodbye to the old-fashioned barcode and every product will just have one QR code that holds all the information you need.' Traditional barcodes can only hold seven pieces of very basic information — a product's name, manufacturer, type, size, weight, colour and, most importantly, its price.
They have become so crucial to the daily running of most supermarkets that it has become impossible to purchase a product unless it has a barcode on it. When they are scanned at the till, the number on the barcode is matched to an enormous database of products to ensure customers are charged correctly. The new QR codes contain much more information about products, such as their ingredients, any allergens they contain and even recipe suggestions, that can be accessed by consumers via their smartphones.
Mrs Godrey said: 'The old barcodes do what they say on the tin — they go beep, tell you the price and get you out of the store. But today's consumers want much more information about the products they buy. The next generation of barcodes will give greater power to the consumer. Retailers will have to upgrade or get left behind.' Barcodes were invented by US science graduates Norman Joseph Woodland and Bernard Silver in the late 1940s, but didn't appear in shops until decades later.
The first barcoded product ever scanned was a pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum at a supermarket in Ohio in 1974. They arrived in the UK in 1979, first used on a box of teabags at a shop in Spalding, Lincolnshire. Since then, GS1 has registered barcodes for more than 200million products around the world.
Though they are basic by today's standards, no two barcodes are the same. The lines on a barcode could be rearranged to register up to ten trillion different products. A study commissioned by GS1 found that 96 per cent of leading UK retail executives expect to see another retail technology transformation.
It also found that 46 per cent of retailers have already upgraded their checkout technology to accommodate QR codes, and another 52 per cent will do so over the coming year. GS1's new codes are currently being tested in 48 countries, including at Morrisons supermarkets in the UK. Many leading brands including PepsiCo, Proctor & Gamble, L'Oreal, Amazon and US grocery giant Walmart are already on board.
A full international roll-out of the new QR codes is expected to be complete by 2027. Mrs Godfrey said: 'The invention of the barcode is one of the great, untold stories in the history of our modern world. It is more frequently used than Google. We won't celebrate the death of the humble barcode, but it is time to say a long goodbye to it.'

New York Times Columnist a Gazan Hospital Director is a Hamas Terrorist!
Israeli forces arrested the director of the last major hospital operating in northern Gaza and accused him and his staff members of being Hamas terrorists.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has repeatedly criticized the Israel Defense Forces’ actions, including in opinion pieces he wrote for the New York Times.
He was among the more than 240 people arrested at Kamal Adwan Hospital by the Israeli military on Saturday on suspicion of being a “Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist,” the IDF said.
“We do not know the fate of Dr. Hussam. He was actually threatened by the army as soon as they arrived at the hospital,” nurse Rawiya Al Batsh told CNN.
The IDF said it conducted a raid on the hospital because it was allegedly being used as a shelter by terrorists looking to escape Israel’s bombardments in northern Gaza against their bases.
The Israeli military described the health facility as “Hamas’s last bastion in Jabalia,” which had last been cleared by the military in late October after Safiya’s predecessor was arrested and admitted to being a Hamas commander.
Prior to the raid, the IDF facilitated the evacuation of 350 patients, caregivers and staffers in the hospital, Israel said. Soldiers then entered the hospital and forced everyone remaining to leave.
While few weapons were found in the hospital, the IDF said a rocket was fired from the building and 19 terrorists were killed in the skirmish.
The Hamas-run ministry of health, however, said about 50 people were killed in the fighting, including medical staff. The health ministry does not differentiate between civilians and terrorists in its tallies.
Safiya said in a post on social media that the IDF was besieging the hospital, with the Israeli military screening nearly 950 people as they emptied the building.
Of the 240 people arrested, the IDF claims at least 15 were terrorists who took part in the Oct. 7 massacre that left more than 1,200 people dead in Israel.
Several staffers who were evacuated from the hospital told CNN the IDF soldiers forced everyone to strip naked for inspection and beat those who refused.
“The detention of suspects involved in terrorism, their arrest, and the search conducted on their bodies were carried out in accordance with international law,” the IDF said in a statement.
Safiya’s whereabouts remain unknown following his arrest on Saturday, triggering outcry from humanitarian groups who slammed the raid as effectively shutting down the last major hospital in war torn northern Gaza, where the IDF continues to struggle to eradicate Hamas.
Safiya’s last guest essay from the Times was published earlier this month and centered on him being one of the last doctors working at the Kamal Adwan hospital, pleading for help.
Hamas has called on the United Nations to investigate the arrests and shutdown of the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
“We demand the sending of international observers to these facilities to ascertain the truth of what is happening and to refute the lies and claims of the occupation regarding their use for military purposes,” the terror group said in a statement.
The patients who were evacuated from Kamal Adwan were moved to other hospitals, which Gaza health officials said are not equipped to handle their needs.
Many have criticized the operation against the hospital as a method to evacuate northern Gaza, which the IDF has repeatedly denied.
