More and More Chareidim Ignoring the Rabbis and Enlisting
The IDF has created a second Israeli Air Force technicians unit for Haredi men at Ramat David Airbase's 109th Squadron, allowing them to serve while maintaining their religious lifestyle.
The soldiers, now certified "level A" F-16 technicians, follow last year's establishment of the first such unit at the base's 105th Squadron, with both responsible for keeping the jets mission-ready.
It doesn't get better than Melanie Phillips' spot-on explanation
Do you wonder why the world is crumbling before your eyes and rather than fight for it people are falling for its propaganda?

Antisemitism is being normalized in America as free speech
When ISIS took over, I began secretly documenting their atrocities under the name Mosul Eye. I watched as my neighbors became enemies, as public spaces turned into execution grounds, and as fear seeped into every aspect of life.
Extremism didn’t arrive with guns and black flags. It first crept in as whispers in sermons, then as slogans, and eventually as checkpoints, arrests, and executions. By the time the world called it what it was—terrorism—it was too late.
But that’s how hate works. It doesn’t begin with violence; it starts with the normalization of dangerous ideas—ideas categorized by many as “opinions.” And we’re seeing that same pattern now in the United States.
But what happens when that “opinion” denies the humanity of an entire people? When it rewrites their history, questions their identity, or suggests they don’t have a right to exist? What happens when that opinion becomes a slogan, then a movement, and then a firebomb thrown at a synagogue?
In May, two Israeli diplomats were shot outside Washington, DC’s Capital Jewish Museum. Their attacker claimed he acted in solidarity with Gaza. A few weeks later, a Holocaust survivor sustained fatal injuries during a terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, when a man with Molotov cocktails attacked a peaceful march for Israeli hostages. In both cases, the suspects didn’t see themselves as extremists. They thought they were standing for something righteous.
And that’s the danger. Because the line between opinion and extremism is thinner than people want to admit. Antisemitism adapts; it speaks the language of justice, of culture, of protest. And when no one challenges it, it becomes accepted, and then eventually deadly.

Gerer Chassidim Take Time Off from Beating the Crap Out of Other To Protest Outside Military Prison Over Yeshiva Student Arrests
On Motzoei Shabbos, hundreds of chassidim from Ger took time off from their own bloody civil-war and gathered outside the gates of Military Prison 10 in Beit Lid to protest the arrest of yeshiva students by the army. The demonstration was part of the ongoing wave of outrage over what organizers called the unjust detention of bnei Torah.
Journalist Daniel Grobais of Galei Tzahal reported that a contingent from the Peleg Yerushalmi also arrived at the scene. This group, which has been demonstrating against the draft for over a decade, attempted to persuade the chassidic protesters to try to break into the prison, but the area was heavily guarded with strong security measures in place.
Among those present were avreichim from Beitar Illit,a city which is in second place in Israel of having the most poverty and had received direct instructions from the Rebbe to go and demonstrate in solidarity with the young men imprisoned in the military facility.
The Rebbe of Shevet HaLevi traveled from Bnei Brak to the protest, where he led tefillos and delivered words of encouragement on behalf of the detainees and in opposition to the draft decree.
Protesters, joined by members of the Peleg Yerushalmi, chanted together, “Ha’achim Yitzchakov, kulanu itchem” (“Brothers Yitzchakov, we are all with you”). The gathering also saw spirited singing and dancing to the chants “B’shilton hakofrim ein anachnu ma’aminim” (“We do not believe in the rule of the heretics”) and “Utzu eitza v’sufar.
Organizers vowed that this was only the beginning of a larger protest movement that will galvanize the entire chareidi public, declaring that they will not allow yeshiva students to be imprisoned for the “crime” of learning Torah.
In Coverage of the Har Habayis, Media Outlets Echo the Propaganda of Hamas
By Rinat Harash
On Sunday, August 3, major media outlets amplified a distorted Palestinian narrative about Jerusalem’s Temple Mount — Judaism’s holiest site — in a way that did more than just misinform. It helped legitimize the very rhetoric used by Hamas to justify its October 7, 2023 massacre.
From factual errors to sensationalism, the coverage of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s brief visit to the Al-Aqsa compound on Tisha B’Av — the Jewish day of mourning for the destruction of the ancient Temples — was painted as a dangerous provocation, a spark threatening to ignite further regional instability.
This is more than bad reporting. It’s complicity in a lie that kills.
While Jewish prayer at the site — the third holiest for Muslims — is forbidden, any outlet that paints such a non-violent act as dangerous automatically adopts the point of view of the real extremists, forgetting that such coverage fuels terrorist propaganda.
Compound Vs. Mosque
Outlets like The Guardian and The Times of London suggested Ben-Gvir had literally entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque and prayed inside.
He didn’t.\
Machnovka Belz Rebbe Gives Chizik To Lev Tahor Child Abuser
DIN: I am very disappointed in this rebbe! Did he visit the victims?
I think this act of the rebbe is sick and depraved!
In an unannounced visit to Ayalon Prison, the Rebbe of Machnovka Belz met with Eliezer Rompler, the head of the radical and controversial Lev Tahor sect, who was extradited to Israel on charges of severe child abuse.
Rompler had fled Israel after a 2020 indictment alleging serious abuse of minors. He was apprehended in El Salvador following an attempted escape from Guatemala, after Israel issued a red notice via Interpol.
The Rebbe was accompanied by his eldest son, Rav Berel Rokeach.
Sources noted that the Rebbe has a personal connection to the Rompler family — one of Rompler’s sons previously served as an aide to the Rebbe — which, they explained, was a key factor in the decision to make the visit.
The visit has sparked mixed reactions. Some have voiced criticism over maintaining ties with an individual facing such grave criminal charges.
