Hotovely to UK: Don't tell us where to build in Jerusalem

Israel's Ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, fiercely pushed back against British officials after being summoned over a new construction project in the E1 area, which connects Ma’ale Adumim to Jerusalem.

"I wouldn't tell the British where to build in London," Hotovely told the Daily Mail Thursday night. "We see E1 as part of greater Jerusalem."

Hotovely was summoned for a meeting after UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israel's approval of plans for 3,400 homes in E1.

Lammy said in a statement on Wednesday that the E1 plans, if implemented, "would divide a Palestinian state in two, mark a flagrant breach of international law and critically undermine the two-state solution".

"The Israeli government must reverse this decision," he added.

The Civil Administration approved the advancement of the E1 project on Wednesday, nearly a week after it was officially announced during a press conference led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

While European countries have condemned the construction, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said that "this is not a violation of international law."

"We will not dictate to Israel what to do, we will not interfere in the running of the country. It would be very strange to say that others can live in this area but Israelis cannot," Huckabee said in an interview with Galei Tzahal (IDF Radio).

The US State Department similarly said that the construction of Jewish houses in E1 supports Israel's security and is in line with the administration's goals.

 

FIRED! Atlanta Doctor Loses Job After Antisemitic Tirade

 A few days ago,  a shocking video from Atlanta showing a couple verbally assaulting David Lubin — whose daughter, Rose, was brutally murdered by a Palestinian terrorist. Many others shared the same clip, and outrage quickly spread.

This couple has a history: they regularly display signs with antisemitic slurs like “kike,” post pro-Palestinian slogans, and rip down memorial stickers honoring Rose whenever they see them.

Now, there’s been fallout. The man in the video, Dr. Mark Bouzyk, has been officially terminated by his employer. AllaiHealth released a statement:

“We are deeply disturbed and disheartened by the video circulating involving Dr. Mark Bouzyk, a former officer of AllaiHealth. He has officially been terminated as of August 18, 2025.”

Is Megyn Kelly Slowly Turning Against Israel?

 

Megyn Kelly has a choice right now. She can either keep her credibility or she can follow the path of right-wing grifters who’ve made it their mission to bash Israel without logic or facts.

Her interview with Marjorie Taylor Greene was full of blatantly false claims that…

Ger losses battle to keep a rapist and pedophile from getting Jail Time!

 

Translated from Hebrew 

Gerer leaders fought to save a Gerer Chasid a pedophile who continuously raped his own sister-in-law starting when she was only 11 years old!

To add insult to injury, Ger threw the victim's father out of Ger because he couldn't convince his daughter to withdraw her complaint with the police.

 The victim's husband, a Chabad Hasid, found out about what his brother-in-law had done to his wife as a child and insisted that she file a complaint with the police. 

Gur was furious and fought with all their might to save the rapist - but today all this came to a conclusion as  the judge sentenced the rapist to 13 years in prison, and Ger is even angry at the judge for not taking into account the fact that he was a Gerer Hassid who even though a rapist and a pedophile should have immunity for such acts

The Father's name is Yosef Danieltzik, whose father had a dry cleaner on Rabbi Akiva Street in Bnei Brak, 

Ger threw him out of Ger because he had the chutzpah of supporting his daughter. 

The victim subsequently married a man named Weintraub and wasn't someone who would take all this quietly !

Ger is furious that this matter was brought to the police and the law authorities.

 the Rebbe's gabbai told him that it was a Chillul Hashem , and that there is a Bais Din (LOL) and that he should have prevented his daughter from filing a complaint, and that she should drop the civil lawsuit.

 Danielczyk, for his part, claimed that his daughter was independent and that he was willing to be tested by a lie detector that he did try his best to prevent her from filing a to complain to the police, and indeed he was tested by a lie detector and the results were that he was in fact telling the truth, after a while there was an article by Rabinovich in the Haaretz newspaper that described the entire story which angered the Gerer hierarchy , and in the end they had no choice but to throw him out of Ger.

The victim was married to this Chabad Chassid, and he could no longer hear her pain, and in order for her to heal and come out of the trauma, her husband encouraged her to file a complaint with the authorities.

 The defendant, a Gerer Chusid, as part of a plea bargain, confessed and took responsibility for criminal acts that would shock anyone reading the complaint and he received 13 years of prison plus mandatory therapy   and 3 years of suspended release plus compensation of 550,000 to the victim

Jordan introduces school textbooks justifying Hamas massacre

An investigation into Jordan’s school curriculum has uncovered textbooks for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years that legitimize Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, celebrate jihad, demonize Jews, and advocate the ethnic cleansing of Israelis, all while omitting any mention of the Holocaust.

A review by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) found that Jordan’s National Center for Curriculum Development introduced a new Grade 10 National and Civic Education textbook that frames Hamas’s October 7 attack as a response to Israeli oppression.

The textbook, introduced three months after Hamas’s attack, blames Israel for ignoring United Nations resolutions and “committing massacres.”

It omits Hamas’s slaughter of more than 1,100 Israelis and undermines Jordan’s peace treaty with Israel by calling Isarel “the Enemy.”

Inside upstate retreat for aging Holocaust survivors living in NYC — where kugel baking is therapy

 

Some of New York’s last living Holocaust survivors escaped the city — temporarily leaving economic burdens, lonely apartments and surging antisemitism fears behind — for a weeklong summer respite in the mountains to partake in “simple joys.”

More than 40 survivors ranging in age from 80 to 105 — mostly Brooklynites living below the federal poverty level — gathered for an all-expenses paid, five-day trip to the Catskill mountains this week to bake kugel, make bracelets for former Israeli hostages and bond with others who share their harrowing childhood experiences.

“It’s a lifeline for them,” said Masha Pearl, executive director of Holocaust survivor fund The Blue Card, which has organized the $30,000 getaway since 2008.

“They are able to experience activities that promote socialization, mind-body rejuvenation and …. are able to receive support for the trauma they endured,” she added.

“Some of these people have lost their spouses, we hear some responses from them that this is the first time they smiled [since]. Some of them are opening up about their experiences that they haven’t opened up [about] before.”

The trip comes at a time when antisemitic attacks in New York City are on the rise — and vulnerable survivors are even more on edge about the Israel-Hamas war, Pearl said.

“Holocaust survivors are very alarmed by the news, many of them are glued to the TV — and one thing that therapists advise is to balance news with self-care activities,” she explained. “When they see protests or certain symbols, they are alarmed.”

Since Oct. 7, 2023, Pearl has witnessed a surge in requests for specialized therapy services from survivors — as hate crimes against Jewish New Yorkers rose from 54% in 2024 to 62% in the first quarter of 2025, per NYPD statistics.

“There’s been calls, letters from survivors who are frightened,” Pearl said. “There’s that fear of ‘will I will be rounded up again,’ and ‘what are the next few years going to look like?’”

Many Holocaust survivors live below the federal poverty level for a “number” of reasons, the nonprofit said, from arriving as refugees after the war with nothing to having lost education, families and assets during the Holocaust and spending early adulthood trying to survive by working low-paying jobs.

Israel to Perform World’s First Human Spinal Cord Implant

 Israel is set to perform the world’s first human spinal cord implant using a patient’s own cells, a procedure that could allow paralyzed patients to regain mobility, Tel Aviv University announced. The surgery, expected in the coming months, will take place in Israel under the leadership of Professor Tal Dvir, head of the Sagol Center for Regenerative Biotechnology.

The procedure uses blood and fat cells from the patient to create a lab-grown spinal cord that replaces damaged tissue and reconnects the nervous system. Animal studies have shown that the implants can restore walking ability in paralyzed rats.

The technology, commercialized by Israeli biotech company Matricelf, recently received preliminary approval from Israel’s Ministry of Health for “compassionate use” trials in eight patients. Matricelf CEO Gil Hakim called the milestone “a step toward transforming an area of medicine long considered untreatable,” while Dvir emphasized the potential to help patients rise from wheelchairs.
