Guy Christensen an Influencer with millions of followers praises Washington attack
Guy Christensen, an influencer boasting nearly 3.5 million followers on various platforms, has released a video praising the murder of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington.
The video includes a full reading of Elia Rodriguez's manifesto and a lengthy and impassioned list of accusations of genocide against the IDF. Christensen also claims that Israelis greet news of Palestinian deaths by 'rejoicing in the streets'. He speaks at length in favor of 'armed demonstration' to replace unarmed or peaceful protests.
The video has been removed from some platforms since it was posted.
"Hamas is not a terrorist organization; they are resistance fighters," he stresses. "Condemning the elimination of the two embassy workers out of fear that the government will crack down on the resistance movement is like condemning Luke Skywalker for blowing up the Death Star because the Empire might crack down on the Rebellion. We must instead meet this crackdown with escalation.''
LAKEWOOD: Two Bochurim Killed, 2 Critical, In Early Friday Morning Crash
A horrific tragedy unfolded early Friday morning in Lakewood, when a vehicle carrying five bochurim crashed on Hope Chapel between Clearstream and New Central, tragically resulting in the petirah of two of the occupants.
Preliminary reports indicate that the vehicle, a Toyota Sienna, was traveling along Hope Chapel Road when it struck a deer, causing the driver to lose control. The minivan then veered off the roadway and crashed into a tree.
A passerby who came upon the harrowing scene reportedly called 911 at 4:39 am. Emergency services were dispatched, with Hatzolah being called in for backup.
Two of the bochurim were tragically niftar at the scene. The three others sustained various injuries, including two who remain in critical condition and one who is reportedly in stable condition.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the crash, and further information will be released as it becomes available.
Please say Tehillim for Meir Moshe Aharon ben Devorah Naomi and Rafael ben Sarah, who are both in critical condition.
OU Withdraws Certification from All Beech-Nut Baby Food
The Orthodox Union (OU), one of the most recognized kosher certifying agencies worldwide, has announced that it is no longer certifying any Beech-Nut brand baby food products. The change in certification status is effective immediately.
In a kashrus advisory released Friday, the OU emphasized that while some Beech-Nut baby food items on store shelves still bear the OU symbol and remain certified kosher, products without the OU symbol are no longer under OU supervision. Due to overlapping inventory, both certified and non-certified Beech-Nut products may currently be found side by side in the marketplace.
Consumers are urged to carefully check each package for the presence of the OU symbol before purchase or consumption.
The advisory did not specify the reason for the discontinuation of certification. Beech-Nut has not yet issued a statement regarding the change.
For more information or to verify specific product status, consumers can contact the Orthodox Union or visit their website at www.oukosher.org.

Houtis Murder 20 Yemenites with the Missile they intended to kill Jews
At least 20 people were killed, and dozens injured in an explosion at an underground weapons depot in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, which occurred after a failed launch from the Houthis.
Heimishe & Yeshivishe Yeedin Feeding the Antisemite Agenda
They don’t check your lineage. They don’t ask which parent is Jewish. They don’t care if you fasted on Yom Kippur or lit candles on Shabbat. They don’t ask if you agree with Israeli policy or if you’ve even stepped foot in a synagogue.
And to those of you posting “#NotInMyName,” or in the Yeshivishe and Chassidishe chats, thinking that somehow your public disavowal of Israel will buy you safety or favor — understand this: The shooter doesn’t stop to ask who you voted for. He doesn’t check your Instagram for hashtags. He doesn’t sort out the Zionists from the anti-Zionists, the religious from the secular, the converts from the critics.
He sees Jew-ish — and that’s enough.. If your grandfather was Jewish — you were marked. And you were hunted.
That’s how antisemitism works. It doesn’t care about nuance. It doesn’t care about politics.It just cares that you’re Jew-ish. And no amount of hashtags will change that.
So if you’ve ever thought: “I’m Satmar, I'm Lakewood, I'm Neturei Karta, I'm not religious. This doesn’t affect me.” Or even, “I’ve distanced myself from Israel, so I’ll be fine.”
Think again.
This is your fight. It’s our fight. Because the people who hate Jews don’t distinguish between denominations, DNA, or degrees of observance. They don’t hate you for what you do — they hate you for what you are.
And while that truth is terrifying, it also holds a strange kind of power.
Because if being Jew-ish is enough to be targeted, then maybe it should be enough to stand up. Enough to speak out. Enough to say: if you come for one of us, you come for all of us. We live in a time where unity is no longer a luxury — it’s a matter of survival.We don’t get to choose how the world sees us. But we can choose how we see each other.
And maybe, just maybe, that’s where healing begins.
