Omer Gelder z"l Last Words before he fell in battle

 Omer Van Gelder z”l’s family found these words in his phone after he fell in battle. His family now asks us to read them.

"If we constantly reflect on the situation we’re in, and on the losses we’ve endured If we truly grasp the number of precious souls who gave their bodies and their lives for us, We will be overwhelmed by emotion. On one hand, the grief is immense, unbearable. But on the other hand, there is a tremendous sense of purpose: Our lives were paid for at an unimaginable cost So they must be worth more. Just living is not enough. Our lives must be worthy of the sacrifice. We have to do meaningful, great things. We have to use this life to become better, much better. If we waste our lives and fail to become the best version of ourselves, we are disrespecting those who gave everything for us. But if we live to the fullest, if we strive every day to be the best we can possibly be maybe then, maybe, we’ll be worthy of their sacrifice. And if I’m no longer here, I ask this of everyone who loves me: Be good. Be the best you can possibly be."

Inbal Lieberman a True Heroine

This is Inbal Lieberman. On October 7th, 2023, Hmas terrorists murdered, raped, and tortured people throughout southwestern Israel, spreading terror like a wildfire from one village or kibbutz to the next, including a music festival.

Inbal Lieberman heard the sirens and rushed along with the other residents of Kibbutz Nir Am to a shelter to escape rocket fire from Gaza. Sadly, this was not an uncommon event. What was uncommon were unusual noises in the distance that made her suspicious. So, she left the shelter, and in her role as security coordinator for her kibbutz, she summoned up the twelve other members of the security team, distributed weapons, and positioned people strategically along the security fence to ambush possible assailants.

She also made sure that the gate to the kibbutz was locked and could not be opened. When the Hamas terrorists arrived shortly after, the kibbutz was prepared. The battle lasted more than three hours. Unlike most other communities near the Gaza Strip on October 7th, Kibbutz Nir Am had no losses.

Inbal Lieberman was 26 years old at that time. Ten months earlier, at 25, she had been appointed the security coordinator of the kibbutz.

Had this happened anywhere else in the world, Inbal Lieberman would be renowned as a hero. A feminist icon. Had you even heard of her before today?

Israeli Minister Chikli Calls Schumer a “Self-Hating Jew” and “Palestinian” Over Support for Mamdani

Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli (Likud) launched a scathing attack on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), calling him a “self-hating Jew” and referring to him as a “Palestinian” in response to Schumer’s praise for Zohran Mamdani, a far-left NYC mayoral candidate with a history of inflammatory anti-Israel rhetoric.

Posting on X, Chikli accused Schumer and other Jewish Democrats of enabling antisemitism cloaked in progressive ideology, writing: “It’s called a self-hating Jew… the new form of antisemitism denies the Jewish people’s right to self-determination.”

Chikli also condemned Haaretz newspaper for publishing accusations of genocide against Israel, grouping it with what he called “Jews who participate in the campaign of hatred against their nation.”

His remarks echoed language used by Donald Trump, who last year told rallygoers Schumer had “become a Palestinian” and a “proud member of Hamas.”

Schumer has drawn fire from Jewish leaders and Israeli officials for refusing to criticize Mamdani, despite Mamdani’s support for the slogan “globalize the Intifada” and his refusal to back legislation condemning the Holocaust or affirm Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.

Rabbi Dov Landau doesn't want Sfardie Girls to mix with Ashkenazi Girls so he establishes a new School for the Sefardic Girls!

 

The Ashkenazi Seminary in Jerusalem, "The Branch", which is not willing to accept Mizrahi students, found a "solution

The Ashkenazim in Jerusalem have established a new seminary for those with Sephardic backgrounds, and will enroll more than 450 girls who remain without a seminary, thus preventing the assimilation of Sephardic Ashkenazi in the girls' schools in Jerusalem. - 

It should be noted that the Lithuanian school has not yet opened registration in order to prevent hundreds of Sephardic girls from assimilating with Ashkenazi Girls 

 Maran Rabbi Landau instructed to delay the registration   until a solution would be found.

 A new principal, Rabbi Mendelsohn, will open the new school in the same building, but with separate entrances, and in this way they will ensure that the Ashkenazi girls do not assimilate into Sephardic and vice versa, Chas Ve'sholom

Threat of Iranian attacks spike in UK, including abductions, murder

 

Iran's international spy agencies are 'willing and able – often through third party agents – to attempt assassination within the UK, and kidnap from the UK,' a parliament committee report said

A new report by the UK parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee on Thursday warned that the threat of Iran attacking individuals on UK soil has "significantly" spiked.

Since 2022, the report said, the "wide-ranging, persistent, and unpredictable threat" of Iranian attacks has risen. Iran's international spy agencies are "willing and able – often through third party agents – to attempt assassination within the UK, and kidnap from the UK," the report said. At least 15 attempts to abduct or murder Britons have been recorded.

The report said there have been 15 murder or kidnap attempts against British citizens or UK-based individuals since the beginning of 2022.

Susie Wiles the rock behind Donald Trump ... Who is she?

Donald Trump calls her the “Ice Maiden.” But in person, the very private White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is warm and hospitable — as long as you don’t cross her. She didn’t become the most powerful woman in the world without a determined glint in her eye that can silence the most spirited Cabinet minister.

Wiles, 68, has brought a sense of order and calm to Trump’s second presidency, which has given him the space to notch up wins at breakneck speed.

In a rare interview on our new podcast “Pod Force One” she explained how she does it.

“I gave a piece of advice to myself when I started this job,” she told us this week in her large sunny office in the West Wing, down the hall from the Oval Office.

“I am the chief of staff. I’m not the chief of Donald Trump.”
