Rabbi YY Jacobson on Why Frum Jews Must Vote in WZO Elections

 

We are facing a critical moment:


*Progressives are trying to take over* the World Zionist Congress.
If they succeed, they’ll use that power to fund movements that oppose Torah, Jewish identity, and tradition.

DIN: I truly believe that Rabbi Feldman and Rav Malkiel Kotler and his gang of 4, who are vehemently against voting, are secretly wishing that the Progressives take over and that they destroy Torah, Jewish identity, and tradition in Israel! 

They want Frum Jews to remain in Chutz Le'aaretz!! Their hatred towards the only Jewish State, a home for close to 8 million Jews, makes no sense, just like the hatred that Arabs have against the State makes no sense!  They are deliberately sabotaging Israel at the expense of Frum Jews! 

That's why The Lakewood gang of 4 had thousands of Koill Guys slam their Gemarras Shut so they could attend an Asifa against the WZO vote, but turned into a Hate-Fest against the State of Israel. Their featured Speaker was R' Aaron Feldman a hater of the State!  That's why last week Thursday they had another Asifa for Lakewood Avreichim and Bocrim and shlepped in an accused Sexual Pervert and vile, vicious hater of Israel, R' Schapiro, who wrote a Nazi-Like Book called "The Empty Wagon," a book similar to Mein Kampf! 

Just like the Meraglim, that were the Torah Leaders of their time, wanted to stay in the Midbar and not enter Eretz Yisrael, the modern-day Meraglim are no different and want to enrich their own Moisdois in Chutz Le'aaretz

They are עתיד ליתן דין וחשבון

Trump: I don't understand why Israel gave up Gaza

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US President Donald Trump on Monday evening. The American president received Netanyahu warmly upon his arrival at the White House.

The two were expected to discuss the hostage deal, Iran, and the tariffs imposed last week on Israeli imports. Netanyahu arrived in the US directly from his state visit to Hungary - during which he spoke with the US president.

Before the meeting, the two leaders spoke to the press in the Oval Office. "I want to thank you for inviting me again to the White House. You've been a remarkable friend to the State of Israel. You stand by us, you are a great champion of our alliance. You actually do things that you say you would, and people respect that enormously," Netanyahu told Trump.

Regarding the meeting, Netanyahu summed up: "We had the opportunity to talk about many subjects. First if I can mention tariffs. I said to the President a very simple thing: We will eliminate the trade deficit with the US. We intend to do it very quickly, we think it's the right thing to do and we're going to also eliminate trade barriers. I think Israel can serve as a model for countries that ought to do the same." Netanyahu noted that he recognizes the US's position on imposing tariffs on countries that have tariffs on US imports.

Netanyahu also noted that he and the President discussed the hostages as well as the elimination of Hamas in Gaza and enabling the people of Gaza to leave.

Israel was not informed of direct negotiations with Iran

A diplomatic source admitted this morning (Tuesday) that Prime Minister Netanyahu did not receive prior updates on the move announced by President Trump - the initiation of direct talks with Iran regarding its nuclear program.

The source noted that while the possibility that Trump would renew contacts with Iran was considered, it was evident from the joint press conference of the US President and the Prime Minister that Netanyahu did not know in advance about the move and was surprised by the statement.

He added that the fact that the Prime Minister was informed about the negotiations and that the USA has pledged to report to Israel on any developments that arise from them is very positive.

The source believes the talks will be noticeably different from those held under the Obama administration. The source claimed that these negotiations are imposed on Iran by American shows of force and sanctions, aligning with the Israeli insistence that America only negotiate through demonstrations of power.

President Trump announced that the US will start direct talks with Iran regarding its nuclear program this coming Saturday during his recent press conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Netanyahu emphasized that the negotiations should lead to a situation where Iran has no way to obtain nuclear weapons.

Iran on Monday responded to US President Donald Trump’s announcement, made during a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, that the US and Iran would hold direct talks on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

The Islamic Republic said the comments are "a planned psychological move designed to influence local and global public opinion", according to the Reuters news agency.

Meanwhile, three Iranian officials with knowledge of plans for talks with the United States told The New York Times that Iran’s understanding of the talks was somewhat different from what President Trump described to reporters in the Oval Office.

According to the Iranian officials, representatives from Tehran and Washington plan to meet in Oman on Saturday for indirect talks, where representatives from each country would sit in separate rooms and Omani diplomats would carry messages back and forth.

The Iranian officials told The New York Times that Iran would be open to direct talks with the United States if the indirect negotiations went well.

16 Evacuation Flights For Gazans Have Already Departed

 

Interior Minister Moshe Arbel on Monday stated that the initiative to evacuate civilians from the Gaza Strip is ongoing and 16 evacuation flights have already departed from Israel’s Ramon Airport.

“Over 16 flights have already departed from Ramon Airport – this will increase in the near future,” Arabel said at a conference.

Last month, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu ordered the Mossad to locate countries willing to accept large numbers of Gazan residents.

Israel has already begun discussions on the initiative with several countries, including Indonesia, Somalia, and South Sudan.

Trump Wins Big in Supreme Court ...... Lifts Order Blocking Deportations

 

The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a court order blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants under an 18th century wartime law.

In a bitterly divided 5-4 decision, the court said the migrants still must get a chance to challenge their deportation before they are taken out of the country and said the Trump administration must give them “reasonable time” to go to court.

But the conservative majority said the legal challenges must take place in Texas, instead of a Washington courtroom.

The justices acted on the administration’s emergency appeal after the federal appeals court in Washington left in place an order temporarily prohibiting deportations of the migrants accused of being gang members under the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.

The case has become a flashpoint amid escalating tension between the White House and the federal courts.

Qatari based council: ‘Armed Jihad against Israel an obligation’

AL JAZEERA headquarters in Doha, Qatar

The International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUSM) has released a sweeping fatwa calling for waging “armed Jihad” against Israel and religiously banning normalization of ties. This pronouncement, which appeared on the organization's official website and the official X/Twitter account of its president, Sheikh Ali Al-Qaradaghi, represents a striking theological stance promoted by an international Islamist organization during the current Gaza conflict.

Headquartered in Doha with additional presence in Istanbul and claiming to represent tens of thousands of religious scholars from across the globe, the IUSM was established in 2004 by Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradawi, a notorious and revered cleric who led the Muslim Brotherhood axis and was made known for his endorsement and promotion of Hamas’s suicide bombings against Israeli civilians.

Earlier this week, the Union’s “Ijtihad and Fatwa Committee” crafted the edict addressing what they termed "the ongoing aggression against Gaza." The declaration makes several extensive demands, including appeals for a thorough besieging of Israel "by land, sea, and air" while encouraging "prompt military intervention by Islamic countries" to bolster Palestinian armed struggle across multiple dimensions – military campaigns, economic areas, and the diplomatic arena.

ICC sent Hungary a request to arrest and surrender Netanyahu hours after his arrival

The International Criminal Court (ICC) sent a request to the Hungarian government to arrest and surrender Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to its detention center in The Hague, due to the arrest warrant issued against him by the court last year, it emerged on Sunday.

According to a report by Channel 12 news, the surrender request was sent several hours after Netanyahu landed in the country on Thursday, but the Hungarian government refused to comply, and promptly announced it was quitting the ICC.

In May 2024, ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan requested from the court that it approve arrest warrants against Netanyahu and then-defense minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The court approved the request in November 2024 and rejected Israeli appeals against them.

The warrants accuse the Israeli leader of directing attacks against the civilian population of Gaza and of using starvation as a method of warfare by hindering the supply of international aid to Gaza, during the current conflict with Hamas, which began with the terror organization’s onslaught against Israel on October 7, 2023.

ICC warrants require all member states of the court to detain and surrender the subject of the order to The Hague.

Netanyahu and the government have strongly rejected the allegations, pointing to efforts to facilitate the passage of large amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza during the war, and insisting that the IDF does not deliberately target civilians.

The Supreme Court, acting in its capacity as the High Court of Justice, ruled last month that organizations that petitioned the court to order the government to increase the supply of aid to Gaza had “not even come close” to showing that Israel had violated legal prohibitions on starving a civilian population as a tool of war or as a form of collective punishment.

In the document sent to the Hungarian government on Thursday, the ICC wrote that its surrender request was “confidential” in order to enable the arrest to be executed. ICC arrest and surrender procedures are often kept secret in order to maximize the possibility of arresting the subject of a warrant.

The document also featured Netanyahu’s personal details, including place and date of birth, and the allegations against him.

“The Registrar requests the cooperation of Hungary to: Provisionally arrest the following person [Netanyahu] when the opportunity to do so arises in the event that he is present on their territory,” the arrest and surrender request stated.

The Hungarian government announced its decision to withdraw from the ICC several hours after Netanyahu arrived.

Lakewood Buiness Robbed of over $4 million in Merchandise on Shabbos Hagodol, may close up now!

 




In a scene reminiscent of a Hollywood thriller, a group of skilled thieves broke into a Lakewood warehouse, making off with an estimated $4 million in electronics after cutting through the roof and disabling the building’s security systems.

The heist targeted CloseoutNJ, a wholesale electronics business located in Lakewood, New Jersey. According to police, the burglars cut a hole in the roof of the warehouse, used a ladder to descend inside, and deployed cellphone signal jammers to disrupt communications before ransacking the facility.

The robbery occurred during Shabbos, when CEO Yaakov Jacobs and many of his employees were not present. Jacobs said the loss is devastating and could threaten the future of the business.

“We might have to shut down, you know? That’s where we are at because of this,” Jacobs told reporters. “We are looking at probably about $4 million of our costs in that neighborhood.”

The thieves focused primarily on high-value Apple products, including Apple Watches, iPads, MacBooks, displays, Mac Minis and other laptops, Jacobs said.

Police said the suspects disabled the building’s security systems, cut wires, smashed monitors and destroyed hard drives. Authorities believe the group may be tied to a previous burglary at the same location. The suspects in that earlier case were arrested but later released.

The investigation is ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
