‘There will be no peace’: Rabbi calls for protests against emerging hostage deal

Rabbi Dov Lior, one of the most authoritative religious leaders among Israel’s ultranationalist movement, calls on people to attend protests against a deal to release Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, which he describes as “the capitulation of the government to the dictates of releasing terrorists,” adding that it would be a “great mitzvah,” or religious act, to demonstrate against the agreement.

In a video message, Lior says that protesting is important to try and “thwart the designs of all those who want to cut off parts of our land, those who release terrorists with blood on their hands as if this will bring peace with them.”

Adds the rabbi in his video message: “There was no peace, there is no peace and there will be no peace. We need to strive to clean the land of all terrorists so that the entire Land of Israel will belong to the rule of the Jewish people alone.”

Lior has called for Jewish settlements in Gaza to be rebuilt following the October 7 Hamas invasion, along with ultranationalist members of the cabinet Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

Lior backed Ben Gvir’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party in the 2022 elections.

Supreme Court Presidemtial Candidate Yitzhak Amit Violated Conflict of Interests, Signed Past Name in Case Document

 

According to a Ynet report, Supreme Court presidential candidate Yitzhak Amit has been involved in legal proceedings in recent years concerning his property in Tel Aviv, but appears in these cases under his former last name, Goldfreind, and the court administration was not notified of this as required.

During this time, as a Supreme Court judge, Amit presided over cases involving the lawyers who represented him, the municipality that accused him, and the promotion of a judge handling a potential government renovation project for the property, Ynet reported.

The judiciary issued a response saying Judge Amit had granted power of attorney to his brother, who signed documents on his behalf and was unaware of the existence of the legal proceedings.

MK Tali Gotliv (Likud) tweeted: “Yitzhak Amit should not only be disqualified from becoming the President of the Supreme Court, but he is unfit to serve as a Magistrate’s Court judge! I challenge anyone in the State of Israel to argue that a person exhibiting fraudulent behavior should hold such a position. The court administration’s defense of “he didn’t know” portrays Amit as either incompetent or assumes that the public is gullible. But here’s the truth: we are not fools, and we won’t accept this explanation.”

Biden program meant to ‘protect Jewish institutions’ pays out six-figure grants to mosques that preach antisemitic hate

 

By Chuck Ross, The Washington Free Beacon

The Biden White House and Senate Democrats have touted their funding for an anti-terrorism initiative they say “has been critical to the security of Jewish institutions.”

But the program has given hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent months to mosques whose clerics have preached anti-Semitic hate, cheered Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, and been accused of raising money for terrorist groups.

The Department of Homeland Security has awarded $150,000 in grants since November to Masjid Jamaat al Mumineen, the Islamic Society of Akron and Kent, and the Islamic Center of Bothell as part of its “Nonprofit Security Grant Program,” according to federal records.

The program gives taxpayer funds to nonprofits and religious groups deemed “at high risk of terrorist attack” to help enhance security.

President Joe Biden touted the program last year as an example of the administration’s “aggressive” actions to counter anti-Semitism and “protect Jewish institutions.”

But the mosques have condoned the kinds of violence the grant program aims to prevent.
