Ami Magazine Thanks Trump but Totally Forgets about Hashem!

 


This is the magazine that will G-d Forbid not publish photos of women. 
He won't even include a blurb about the millions of Jews who celebrated three days: Yom Hashoah, Yom Hazikoron, and Yom Hatzmoet. Yet, he devotes space every single week to writing fictionalized convoluted tortuous contradictions between the Rambam and the Morah Nevuchim, resulting in the most ridiculous, incomprehensible answers! 

So this tzaddik, Yitzy Frankfurter dedicated a cover to Trump and thanked him, but oops! He forgot to mention that these victories were orchestrated by the RBS"O !!!!

Now, of course, we have to thank Trump after all he ordered the strikes on Iran and took responsibility, but AMI considers itself the voice of Charedim, and wouldn't G-D Forbid thank Netanyahu or any other Zionist official!
 It was Netanyahu who defied Biden and took out Sinwar, Nasrallah and most of the Hamas and Hezbollah hierarchy, resulting in the downfall of Syria, yet Yitzy cannot bring himself to thank publicly a Jew but went out of his way to thank a Goy!

We will never forget when Yitzi's rebbe the Satmar rebbe of Monroe backed the murderous Obama Iran deal and had his followers write thousands of letters supporting this sick, perverted deal and with the most vile language chastising the Prime Minister of the Jewish State because he came to address Congress to warn them of these savage murderers and the perverted deal! 
Pass the prohibited cholent! 

Dear President Trump:

In the wake of the recent events in the Middle East, we feel compelled—morally, spiritually and historically—to express our heartfelt gratitude.
For over four decades, the Iranian regime had relentlessly pursued a master plan for the annihilation of the State of Israel.
This genocidal campaign was built upon three deadly foundations. First, Iran had accelerated its uranium enrichment and weaponization programs, moving aggressively toward the production of multiple nuclear warheads. The existential danger this posed—to Israel and to global stability—cannot be overstated.
Second, Tehran had amassed a vast arsenal of ballistic missiles, thousands strong, with ranges capable of striking not only Israel but also much of the Middle East, Europe and beyond.
And third, Iran had positioned a web of proxy forces across the region—Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria, and Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza—all trained, armed and coordinated by Tehran. Together, these forces stood ready to unleash a devastating, multi-front assault designed to overwhelm and destroy the people of Israel.
This was not theoretical. The threat was active, imminent and apocalyptic.
In this unprecedented moment, the government of Israel made an extraordinary request, asking the United States to take direct offensive military action on its behalf.
And you, Mr. President, answered that call.
You acted with courage. With clarity and conviction. You made a bold and politically risky move, not for personal gain but to stand with the Jewish people, who were in mortal danger. The Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan were struck with precision. Their diabolical ambitions were thwarted.
And for that, we thank you.
In Jewish tradition, those who save even one life are considered as if they saved an entire world. Mr. President, your actions may have very well saved millions of lives.
We fervently pray that G-d will continue to grant you strength and blessing.

With profound respect and enduring gratitude,

Yitzchok Frankfurter,
Editor-in-Chief,

Cut the lies - Hamas never agreed to disarm and never will

 

New Flash! Former COS Gadi Eisenkot was just featured on the 18:00 news bulletin of Kan Radio for this posting on his Facebook page (original in Hebrew). He writes:

-Netanyahu - stop the total blurring.

-On 27/5/24 you brought to the war cabinet an agreement that was approve unanimously and in it were four principles: exchange of hostages for prisoners, permanent ceasefire, withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and rehabilitation of the Strip in exchange for demilitarization.

-Since then, a series of excuses led to the blurring of deals that cost the blood of hostages and fighters.

-Two chiefs of staff informed you in a long series of cabinet meetings that the conditions for returning the hostages had been met.

-Political and personal considerations prevented the deal; the Hamas organization, which defines as its vision the destruction of Israel, will be defeated in every way.

-A government that is afraid to make a necessary decision is not worthy tlead this people.

And in an article, published earlier Saturday, The New York Times Magazine claimed that Netanyahu intentionally prolonged the Gaza conflict to maintain political power.

Oops!

Here's the catch:

"in exchange for demilitarization"

A flying pig condition.

Hamas has never agreed to lay down their arms.

Demilitarization of the Gaza Strip by agreement was a dead letter from day one.

And yet the Israeli public is continually bombarded with this total falsehood claiming that political considerations are keeping 20 live and 30 dead hostages stuck in the Gaza Strip.

It is anything but a political consideration that Hamas can't remain an armed force in the Gaza Strip.

Yesterday Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with some of the hostage families in Washington and had both the guts and the decency to tell them the truth: that if Hamas won't agree to a demilitarized Gaza Strip then we will use our full military power to demilitarize the Gaza Strip ourselves.

Scary: Israeli F-15 Jet Experienced Fuel Tank Failure Over Iran, Emergency Landing Narrowly Avoided

 

During last month’s 12-day conflict with Iran, an Israeli F-15 fighter jet encountered a critical fuel tank malfunction while operating near Tehran, nearly forcing an emergency landing, Channel 12 revealed for the first time.

The pilot discovered the problem while deep inside Iranian airspace and promptly alerted command. Since no aerial refueling tanker was initially assigned to the mission, Israeli forces swiftly dispatched one to meet the fighter mid-flight.

A contingency plan was also prepared: if the tanker failed to reach the aircraft in time, the pilot would be instructed to cross the border into a neighboring country (unnamed in reports) for an emergency landing, avoiding the risks associated with landing inside Iran.

Fortunately, the refueling plane arrived on time, allowing the F-15 to be refueled in flight and continue its mission without interruption.

Before the June 13 launch of Israel’s surprise strikes that ignited the conflict, Israeli Air Force Commander Tomer Bar had estimated that up to 10 jets might be lost within the initial 72 hours. However, no Israeli aircraft were lost, despite Iranian state media falsely claiming to have shot down planes and captured a pilot.

Israel’s wide-ranging operation targeted Iranian military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment facilities, and ballistic missile programs, aiming to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons — a claim Iran denies.

In response, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, resulting in dozens of fatalities, thousands of injuries, extensive damage to homes and institutions, and the displacement of thousands of Israelis.

NYC Cabbie Filmed Hurling Antisemitic Slurs at Jewish Passenger

A New York City taxi driver was caught on video unleashing a stream of antisemitic slurs at a Jewish passenger in Tribeca — prompting swift condemnation from officials and a move by the city to revoke his license permanently, according to the New York Post.

In the footage, which was posted by the Anti-Jew Hate Organization on its Jew Hate Database Instagram account, the cabbie can be heard yelling, “You guys look for trouble, yes, you are a ….Jew!” The video, which has already received over 5,500 views, shows the driver furiously berating the passenger after allegedly ignoring directions and inflating the fare.

“You realize you just lost your license, right?” the passenger responds calmly in the clip.

The driver shoots back: “No, you are going to lose your own license.”

The Instagram account labeled the tirade a clear case of “targeted Jew hatred,” writing in the caption, “Jewish New Yorkers deserve safety and dignity on every ride.”

Officials at the Taxi & Limousine Commission wasted no time.

“Hate has no place on our roads and is totally unacceptable,” said TLC Commissioner David Do in a statement to the Post. “As soon as we learned about this disturbing incident, we worked to identify the driver. Our Prosecution Unit will be seeking to permanently revoke his TLC license.”

The TLC confirmed it had contacted the individual who posted the video and is actively investigating. A 311 complaint is required to formally launch such an investigation, the agency noted.

The identity of the Jewish victim has not been released, and the Anti-Jew Hate Organization has not responded to media inquiries.

Online, condemnation was swift. “He’s about to be famous in a very bad way,” one rabbi commented. Another user simply wrote, “Take his license.” The official NYC Taxi Instagram account also responded, thanking the group for flagging the incident and requesting further information.

This comes amid a troubling rise in antisemitic incidents across New York City. In April, police arrested a Brooklyn woman accused of leaving a brick marked with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a Tesla parked outside a yeshiva. That same month, NYPD statistics revealed that over half of the city’s hate crimes in March — 31 out of 57 — targeted Jews.

Pilot Cut Off Fuel Switch to Air India Plane Moments Before Crash??

 

Fuel control switches for the engines of an Air India flight that crashed last month were moved from the “run” to the “cutoff” position moments before impact, starving both engines of fuel, a preliminary investigation report said early Saturday.

The report, issued by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, also indicated that both pilots were confused over the change to the switch setting, which caused a loss of engine thrust shortly after takeoff.

The Air India flight — a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner — crashed on June 12 and killed at least 260 people, including 19 on the ground, in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad. Only one passenger survived the crash, which is one of India’s worst aviation disasters.

The plane was carrying 230 passengers — 169 Indians, 53 British, seven Portuguese and a Canadian — along with 12 crew members.

According to the report, the flight lasted around 30 seconds between takeoff and crash. It said that once the aircraft achieved its top recorded speed, “the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another” within a second. The report did not say how the switches could have flipped to the cutoff position during the flight.

The movement of the fuel control switches allows and cuts fuel flow to the plane’s engines.

The switches were flipped back into the run position, the report said, but the plane could not gain power quickly enough to stop its descent after the aircraft had begun to lose altitude.

The report stated: “One of the pilots transmitted ‘MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY’.”

Aviation expert and former airline pilot Terry Tozer said the engine cutoff switches being switched to off only seconds after takeoff was “absolutely bizarre.”

“Unfortunately, the altitude was so low that the engines were only beginning to recover and they didn’t have enough time,” Tozer told Sky News.

The report also indicated confusion in the cockpit moments before the crash.

In the flight’s final moment, one pilot was heard on the cockpit voice recorder asking the other why he cut off the fuel. “The other pilot responded that he did not do so,” the report said.

The preliminary report did not recommend any actions for Boeing, which said in a statement that it “stands ready to support the investigation led by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau.”

“Our deepest condolences go out to the loved ones of the passengers and crew on board Air India Flight 171, as well as everyone affected in Ahmedabad,” the statement added.

India’s civil aviation minister, Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu, said the report’s findings were preliminary and one should not “jump into any conclusions on this.”

“Let us wait for the final report,” Naidu told reporters.

Air India, in a statement, said it is fully cooperating with authorities investigating the crash.

“Air India is working closely with stakeholders, including regulators. We continue to fully cooperate with the AAIB and other authorities as their investigation progresses,” it said.

The plane’s black boxes — combined cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders — were recovered in the days following the crash and later downloaded in India.

Indian authorities had also ordered deeper checks of Air India’s entire Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet to prevent future incidents. Air India has 33 Dreamliners in its fleet.

Bilam's prophecies in our time


by Rabbi Lazer Gurkow

 I grew up in the shadow of the Six-Day War. The impossible yardstick of this war measured every subsequent war in Israel. It redefined the term blitzkrieg as Israel rebuffed a three-nation attack and came away with land from each of them.

All this changed when we woke up on Friday, June 13, 2025, to the news that Israel had landed a devastating blow against the Iranian Nuclear plants, missile silos, and military leadership. The campaign lasted 12 days and resulted in the most asymmetrical victory in the history of warfare.

Israel crippled Iran’s military and nuclear ambitions without losing a single soldier or airplane. It absorbed terrible blows from Iranian missiles, brutally and cynically dispatched against civilian areas, but that did not lessen the magnitude of the mission’s success. This will now be the new standard bearer for Israeli military success.

IN MONSEY: Reb Yitzchok Tzvi Klein killed in Devastating Elevator Accident

 Reb Yitzchok Tzvi Klein was critically injured in a horrific elevator accident earlier this week at Hatzlacha Grocery in Spring Valley.

Reb Yitzchok Tzvi  was in his twenties, a young man full of life and promise. Despite the tireless efforts of Rockland Hatzolah and hospital teams, and the heartfelt tefillos of Yidden around the world, he was sadly niftar on Friday morning from his injuries.

He was known as a warm, ehrliche Yid with a gentle spirit and a kind word for everyone. He leaves behind his devoted wife and grieving family. The couple had no children.

‘Jews for Zohran’ Mamdani group tied to the Ugly niece of lefty China-based billionaire


The ugly niece of the China-based billionaire purportedly backing left-wing protest groups in the US spearheaded the “Jews for Zohran’” Mamdani campaign — a bid to give the Israel-bashing candidate cover from antisemitism accusations and win over Jewish voters, The Post found.

Marxist tycoon Neville “Roy” Singham‘s ugly niece Alicia Singham Goodwin serves as political director of lefty nonprofit Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, which in January launched Jews for Zohran.

“We, like, had our own voter file . . . and for phone banks that were only Jewish voters, and had, like, Jews talking to Jews,” Singham Goodwin, 33, said in a July 1 interview on WBAI. “We developed early on these talking points about antisemitism and a way for volunteers to engage.”

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."
