The manipulated campaign against the 'Hilltop Youth'
I have been speaking out against the manipulated campaign of "settler violence" for years. With it returning to the headlines due to what happened over Shabbat, I want to provide a comprehensive overview of the issue for people to better understand.
I know the hilltop youth, that include guys and girls, not just teenage boys. Not from afar, but up close, while serving in uniform in this war patrolling the Judean Hills.
Yes, many are young teenagers. Some come from broken homes. Some push boundaries. Many are not even from Judea and Samaria. But they do not hate the IDF. They proudly serve in the IDF when they reach draft age. Sometimes their actions go too far, and anyone who does so must be punished for doing so, but the rare mistakes of a few do not justify branding an entire movement of modern-day Maccabees, literally on the frontline of Israel and the Jewish people, as violent extremists or terrorists.
Iran's crazy search for spies
As Iranian officials flail about, arresting hundreds of innocent people and executing "dozens" of alleged spies, now is a good time to recall that among all the things the Islamic Republic is terrible at, its feeble attempts at counter-espionage stand out as especially inept.
While IRGC and other regime goons search frantically in the most bizarre places for foreign and domestic enemies (and a small number of Israelis were arrested for gathering information for Iranian agents, ed.), an intricate espionage network has been growing right under their noses.
Israeli intelligence officers have been smuggling weapons, drones, communication gear, and even vehicles into Iran for years using "suitcases, trucks and tankers." They and their Iranian agents have been spreading equipment throughout the Islamic Republic.
And what have Iran's "crazy state" counterespionage professionals been doing?
Beit Shemesh:Rabbi "dumbing us down" claims girl killed in a car accident was 'because of draft orders'????
Large crowds accompanied Abigail Yaakov, the 4-year-old, to her rest yesterday (Wednesday), who was killed in a serious traffic accident on Rabbi Yitzhak Nafcha Street in Beit Shemesh.
During the funeral, one of the eulogists, Rabbi Toufik, chose to link the tragedy to the draft orders sent yesterday to yeshiva students.
"So many tragedies, obviously we must strengthen our faith," said the Rabbi during his eulogy. "We hear that today 54,000 draft orders are issued to yeshiva students. This is such a guilty act - who knows if this sacrifice didn't come to atone a little."
The Rabbi further emphasized the importance of unity among the people of Israel: "Along with our strengthening, we need to know that we are messengers of compassion, love of Israel for one another, this 'togetherness' is supports us."
The accident occurred at 17:07 when the child was struck by a vehicle while riding a toy car. According to emergency responder testimonies, the child was found unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, suffering from a head injury and significant bleeding.
MDA paramedics Shmuel Arieli and Tzvi Aryeh Zeibeld described: "It was a very severe traffic accident. We found her lying unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing, suffering from a head injury and significant bleeding." Emergency teams began advanced resuscitation efforts on-site and evacuated her to the trauma room at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in critical condition.
United Hatzalah volunteers added: "When we arrived at the scene, we saw a 4-year-old girl lying on the road without a pulse and not breathing, with multiple injuries after being hit by a vehicle while riding a toy car."
Despite extensive resuscitation efforts, doctors at the hospital were forced to pronounce the child's death. It was one of four such deaths of children throughout Israel in that day.

The Fall Of This Modern Haman: Called 'Death To IDF' — Lost It All
Chaim Rotter the Monster and Founder of Shoimrim in Bnei-Brak Arrested on Multiple Rape Charges at Ben Gurion Airport
The Petah Tikva Magistrate Court extended until next Thursday the detention of a man said to be a senior figure in the Shomrim organization in Bnei Brak by eight days, on suspicion of dozens of rapes of children and adults over serveral years. He was apprehended by Israel Police at Ben-Gurion Airport late Wednesday night. By press time, his name had not yet been cleared for publication.
The man flew out of Israel about two weeks ago, and was arrested upon his return and taken in for questioning. He is considered to be a prominent figure in Bnei Brak, and in the ultra-Orthodox (haredi) community at large.
At the hearing on Wednesday, the suspect was silent when asked if he wished to respond to the allegations. One of his alleged victims, Meir, called out, “He raped me. You are evil, you are cursed. I am sick. He almost cut off my penis. He raped the mother of my child.” The judge tried to calm things down and directed the complainant to provide testimony to the investigative unit.
