 Report: Palestinian Authority to End Notorious ‘Pay-to-Slay’ Incentives*

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has reportedly signed a decree to terminate its “Pay-to-Slay” program, which provided financial incentives to individuals and their families for carrying out attacks against Israelis. 

This move aims to improve relations with the U.S. and Israel, especially following recent geopolitical developments.

Trump: I could conceivably withhold aid to Egypt and Jordan if they Refuse to take in Gazans

 

US President Donald Trump said on Monday he could “conceivably” withhold aid to Egypt and Jordan if they refuse to take in Gazans as part of Trump’s plan for the Strip.

“Yeah, maybe, sure why not? If they don’t, I would conceivably withhold aid, yes,” Trump said in response to a question from a reporter.

Trump several weeks ago expressed his desire for countries like Jordan and Egypt to accept more Palestinian Arabs who have fled the fighting in Gaza, telling reporters he had discussed the idea with Jordan’s King Abdullah II.

Several days later, Trump doubled down on the idea, telling reporters he had brought it up in a conversation with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi.

“I’d like to get them living in an area where they can live without disruption, revolution … when you look at the Gaza Strip it’s been hell for so many years,” said Trump.

"I wish [Sisi] would take some [Gazans]. We helped them a lot, and I'm sure he'd help us. He's a friend of mine. He's in a very rough part of the world, to be honest. As they say, It's a rough neighborhood. But I think he would do it, and I think the King of Jordan would do it too," continued Trump.

His comment on Monday came after Egypt rejected “any compromise” that would infringe on the rights of Palestinian Arabs, in a statement issued after Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington.

Sisi recently responded publicly for the first time to Trump’s proposal, stating that Egypt will not take part in the displacement of Palestinian Arabs, an action he described as an "act of injustice" that could endanger Egyptian security.

Confirmed: Under Biden USAID funded Palestinian Arab terrorism Even After Oct 7 Massacre

 

The US Agency for International Development (USAID), which has of late been in the crosshairs of the Trump administration, has for years funneled money to terrorist entities in the Palestinian-controlled territories, the Washington Free Beacon reported on Monday, citing several former and current US officials who have worked with the agency.

According to the report, the officials fought with the agency over funding for groups that worked to undermine Israel or maintained ties to terror organizations and the organization would work to conceal how taxpayer funds were spent.

The report mentions how in November 2022, USAID granted $100,000 to an organization led by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terror group. Just six days before Hamas's Oct. 7 assault on Israel, USAID gave $900,000 "to a terror charity in Gaza involved with the son of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh."

The report also notes that the Biden-era administrator of the agency, Samantha Power, actively fought pro-Israel policymaking at the State Department and that USAID staffers even recently urged the Biden administration to halt military funding for Israel.

One State Department official told the Free Beacon: "They weren't even in line with some of the Biden administration's policies. It's more than just problematic grants to anti-Israel organizations. It's also their role in the internal approval processes and statements within the administration. There's an entire bureaucratic process they're a part of. They carry out their obstructionist ideology on that front as well."

US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) confirmed the report, in which he was also quoted, writing on X: "The full story of USAID funding Hamas is vast, and much of it was done in secret. Before and after October 7, USAID flowed uncountable hundreds of millions of dollars toward Hamas which enabled it to launch the attack and keep battling Israel afterward.

The Senator continued: "They lied about the nature of that aid in public databases, refused to disclose what groups were getting the money, and gave tens of millions in American cash to be distributed without American supervision.

"They internally admitted the aid would benefit Hamas, and even exempted themselves from anti-terrorism laws, but in public issued denials."

Cruz added: "For all four years of the Biden administration, I prevented them from confirming a Middle East administrator because they wouldn’t acknowledge what they were doing because continuing their secret pro-Hamas programs was more important to them."

NEW YORK SLIME: Study Reveals How Deeply Rotten New York Times’ Is

 

A new study reveals that The New York Times consistently downplayed Israeli suffering following Hamas’s October 7 attack while disproportionately focusing on Palestinian casualties, often omitting key facts that would provide readers with a fuller picture of the conflict.

The study, conducted by Yale professor Edieal Pinker, analyzed 1,561 New York Times articles published between October 7, 2023, and June 7, 2024. It found that coverage overwhelmingly portrayed Israel as the aggressor and largely ignored ongoing Hamas attacks and Israeli casualties during the war.

While the Times initially acknowledged Hamas’s brutal massacre of 1,200 Israelis, its subsequent reporting shifted to a narrative in which Palestinian suffering took center stage, often presenting Palestinians as passive victims while minimizing Hamas’s role in perpetuating the war. The study found that:

• 70% of articles fit the dominant anti-Israel narrative.
• Nearly 1,500 articles failed to mention Hamas combatant deaths—giving the impression that Israel was only targeting civilians.
• More than 93% of articles mentioned Israel more frequently than Hamas, falsely suggesting that Israel had sole responsibility for the war.
• 364 Israeli soldiers and 34 civilians were killed after October 7, yet these deaths were rarely covered.

Even Palestinian violence was largely ignored, with only 18% of war-related articles mentioning attacks by Palestinian terrorists after October 7.

The study also highlighted how the Times repeatedly ignored Israeli suffering beyond the immediate October 7 attacks, including the plight of hostages, grieving families, and the economic devastation caused by the war. Meanwhile, there were two-week-long gaps where no Israeli casualties were reported, despite Hamas continuing to launch rockets into Israeli cities.

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken had previously called out the media’s failure to cover Hamas’s ongoing role in the war, saying, “You hear virtually nothing from anyone since October 7 about Hamas… Why there hasn’t been a unanimous chorus around the world for Hamas to put down its weapons, to give up the hostages, to surrender?”

The New York Times defended its reporting, claiming it has covered the war “with more rigor than virtually any other U.S. news organization.” However, Pinker’s study suggests the newspaper’s selective coverage has created a misleading narrative that absolves Hamas of its responsibility for the war while painting Israel as the sole aggressor.

Time to Shut Down Israeli Seminaries!!!

 

DIN: Shut them down! I live here in Israel and see what's going on, firsthand! I host a lot of these girls for Shabbos!  I've had granddaughters in the system! This "seminary business" is not only a business it's a "Gold-Mine" 

Roshei Yeshivas don't want to lose their students so they schemed to have their  rebbetzins  lead these seminaries, and brainwash innocent girls and instill in their innocent minds that they must marry a "Ben-Torah," with the motto that "one hand must wash the other." Then they cleverly embedded into the system that a girl who didn't attend their money-grubbing seminary is a bad choice for a shidduch! To make matters even worse, these Israeli Roshei Yeshivas with their Seminary Rebbitzens, secretly partner with the American Roshei Yeshiva such as Lakewood etc, to make it a "zach" that Bochrim need to go to Israel to learn for two years, and when they return the Chuchim fun Lakewood puts them in the freezer, creating the Shidduch Crises we have now!

SHUT IT ALL DOWN!! 

If you want your daughter to have the "Israel Experience" send them for an organized chaperoned two-month tour in the summer! 

A brewing scandal in the girls’ seminary acceptance process has sent shockwaves through the frum world, as multiple seminaries have defied a predetermined agreement and begun accepting students prematurely—threatening to unravel the entire admissions system.

According to an agreement among seminaries in Eretz Yisroel, no acceptances were to be issued before March 3rd. However, several seminaries have jumped the gun, calling high school seniors with acceptance offers and pressuring them to commit within hours. This reckless move threatens to upend the structured process, much like the chaos that recently plagued the mesivta acceptances in Lakewood when certain yeshivos disregarded agreed-upon timelines, sending other yeshivos, schools, parents, and talmidim alike scrambling to be accepted into a mesivta.

While some argue that the more established seminaries hold high schools hostage—demanding the best students and leaving newer seminaries struggling to establish themselves—it is widely agreed that breaking the rules is not the solution. Instead of undermining the system, these seminaries should seek to resolve their grievances through proper negotiations.

In response to this troubling situation, a major crackdown is already underway. Mrs. Raizel Reit of TTI, a key player in the seminary college credit and financial system, has taken concrete moves to bring an end to the chaos. TTI, which helps parents save between $9,000 and $17,000 on tuition, has issued a stern warning: any seminary that defies the agreed-upon process will be banned from partnering with TTI.

Mrs. Reit’s statement was clear: “TTI would like to require our partner seminaries to comply with the Vaad’s requirements… Any seminary not in compliance will be barred from partnering with TTI and will be unable to participate until the Vaad confirms their compliance.”

As this crisis unfolds, the question remains: will the rogue seminaries back down, or will this be the beginning of a complete overhaul of the seminary admissions process?

Hamas Was About To Surrender In December 2023 -Before Humanitarian Aid Arrived

 

Raphael Hayoun, a resident of Netivot who had been tracking Hamas and warning about the October 7 attack, revealed on Israel’s Kan 11 channel information he had come across in December 2023, just before the entry of humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip. He claimed that at the time Hamas was on the verge of surrendering and returning all of the hostages.

Hayoun is a hacker who apparently succeeded in breaking into Hamas’s internal codes and obtaining information, which he claimed on another occasion could have even prevented the Oct. 7 massacre. [Hayoun’s license to hack was mysteriously revoked before Oct. 7 and returned to him after the massacre and after he proved that he could save lives with his information].

At the beginning of the interview, anchor Ayala Hasson stated:

“We can’t say how you were exposed to this information, but we can say that these are hard facts.”

Hayoun responded and clarified:
“Everything is backed up. This is not the result of wiretapping because I am not allowed to disclose things I hear, but rather it comes from other things I do. In December 2023, three months after October 7, I heard from sources within the system—hospitals and the Red Crescent—at a time when we had truly imposed a real siege on the Gaza Strip. I heard that they were fed up and could no longer bear the lack of incoming aid, fuel, and electricity.”

Hasson pressed further:
“What you are about to tell us now is from the period when there was a heavy hand and a major siege on Gaza, before the first release of hostages last year?”

Hayoun continued:
“And then, after long minutes, a senior Hamas official came up and told them, ‘Listen, we’ve had several conversations; you should wait until tomorrow evening, and we’ll decide together what happens.’ He was trying to reassure them that a change in the siege was coming. They not only wanted to surrender but to give everything—the hostages, even Sinwar himself.”

Hayoun then described further:
“There was indeed a power outage and a real siege, but then Hamas’ ‘bad cop’ came in and told them: ‘All of your women have already been raped in the mosque in Rafah, and the next time you even think of speaking like this, we will send you their heads.’ The idea was dropped immediately, and by the next morning, they had received everything—they didn’t even wait until the evening.”

Hasson asked:
“So the siege was effective, Hamas members wanted to do everything to survive and release the hostages, but Hamas managed to activate the Qataris and Americans, and then aid started flowing in, which made them toughen their stance. Did you come across this information in real-time or only in hindsight? And did Israeli intelligence pass it on to the Americans?”

Hayoun replied:
“I was exposed to it in real-time. I passed the information on in real time, in December 2023. It was relayed to all the contacts I have within the military and the state. They said they would present it to the Prime Minister and to Biden at the time. I don’t get feedback from them—I just provide the information.”

Hasson concluded:
“The feedback was that humanitarian aid was allowed in.”

Justice Department Orders Prosecutors to Drop Charges Against Mayor Eric Adams

 

A top official at the U.S. Department of Justice has ordered federal prosecutors to drop charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat who has cultivated a warm relationship with President Donald Trump.

In a two-page memo obtained by The Associated Press, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, an alumnus of the Manhattan office that brought the case, said that the decision to dismiss the charges was reached without an assessment of the strength of the prosecution of the prosecution and was not meant to call into question the attorneys who filed the case.

But, Bove said, that the timing of the charges and “more recent actions” by the former U.S. attorney who led the office, Damian Williams, “have threatened the integrity of the proceedings, including by increasing prejudicial pretrial publicity that risks impacting potential witnesses and the jury pool.”

Bove also wrote that the pending prosecution has “unduly restricted” Adams’ ability to “devote full attention and resources to the illegal immigration and violent crime that has escalated under the policies of the prior Administration.”

The Justice Department’s order directs that the case be dismissed without prejudice, which conceivably means that it could be refiled later.

Ceasefire Deal Can Be Canceled if Hamas Doesn’t Release All Hostages by Saturday, Let All Hell Break Loose.”

 

 President Donald Trump says a precarious ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas should be canceled if Hamas doesn’t release all the remaining hostages it is holding in Gaza by midday on Saturday.

In comments to reporters as he signed a series of executive orders, Trump said it was ultimately up to Israel. But he warned that “all hell is going to break out” if the remaining hostages aren’t released, and added that he feared many were dead.

Trump also said, however, “I’m speaking for myself. Israel can override it.”

6-year-old girl rescued from Lev Tahor and returned to her family

 

A 6-year-old girl was rescued from the Lev Tahor cult in Guatemala and transferred to the custody of her grandmother, who came especially from Israel.

This is the third case in recent weeks of children being reunited with their families.

Guatemala's Attorney General's Office confirmed that the girl was handed over to her grandmother after a comprehensive background check was conducted on the family. The grandmother will remain in Guatemala until the legal proceedings have been completed.

This rescue follows recent successes in closing down the cult. Last week, a Hasidic couple fled to the US with their children, and about three weeks ago, another family escaped from the cult.

This operation follows the authorities' raid last December on the cult compound, in which 160 abused and neglected minors were rescued. The children are still residing in the local welfare facilities.
