US drone watched from above as Iran seized oil tanker

 

Iranian forces seized a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, the first confirmed capture of a commercial vessel by Tehran since its June clashes with Israel and the United States, according to multiple governments and maritime agencies.

The Talara, sailing from the United Arab Emirates toward Singapore, broke from its course in the Gulf of Oman Friday after several small craft converged on the vessel, maritime security firms reported.

A US defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity said an American military drone tracked the takeover from overhead.

Flight-tracking data showed that a US Navy MQ-4C Triton drone had been circling above the area where the Talara was for hours on Friday, observing the seizure.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps acknowledged responsibility a day later.

UN rapporteur "Yenta" claims no 'independent investigation' found rape committed on Oct. 7


 United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women Reem Alsalem falsely claimed that there was "no rape" committed during the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023.

In a rant on X on Friday, Alsalem bizarrely claimed that no independent investigation found that rape took place on the 7th of October."

She went on to engage in moral equivalence between Israel and the Hamas rapists and butchers, stating: “For those who naively believe that Israeli perpetrators of sexual violence against Palestinians will ever be investigated and prosecuted, think again."

Despite Alsalem's claims, a UN investigation found in 2024 that there were “reasonable grounds” to believe that Hamas terrorists committed rape during the October 7 massacre.

In August, 2025, the UN added Hamas to its blacklist of organizations that commit sexual crimes in violent conflicts.

Defense Minister clarifies: 'A Palestinian state will not be established'


 Defense Minister Israel Katz responded Sunday morning to the U.S. proposal submitted to the United Nations, which includes steps signaling the possible future establishment of a Palestinian state.

“The policy of Israel is clear: no Palestinian state will be established,” Katz wrote. “The IDF will remain on Mount Hermon and in the security zone. Gaza will be demilitarized down to the last tunnel, and Hamas will be disarmed on the Israeli-controlled side by the IDF, and in old Gaza either by an international force or by the IDF.”

The American proposal states, among other things, that “once the Palestinian Authority’s reform plan is implemented, conditions may be achieved for a path toward self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state. The United States will facilitate dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for coexistence in peace and prosperity.”

The proposal also specifies that alongside the work of an international stabilization force, in coordination with Israel and Egypt to stabilize Gaza and replace Hamas rule and the IDF’s presence there, a Palestinian Arab police force will also operate “to help maintain order along the border.”

Violent Civil War Amongst Chareidim ...A real "Milchemesh Mitzvah

 


DIN: This is nothing new, as I always say, "Charedim Hate Each Other" They are like Arabs who kill each other and unite against Israel, so do Chareidim, they would kill each other and unite against the Zionists! 

Satmar Ahronim hate Satmar Zalonim, Bobov 45 hates Bobov 48, Ger hates Ger, Sadegera hates Sadegera,  In Ponovitz the Bais Hamedrish is divided between the haters, I could go on and on! Peleg hates them all! And now the litvishishe parties themselves hating each other! 

Chaos erupted in Yerushalayim on Motzei Shabbos as Shas MK Yoav Ben Tzur was violently attacked by a mob of extremist chareidim while leaving the weekly shiur of Hagaon HaRav Yitzchak Yosef. The rioters targeted the lawmaker over his party’s apparent backing of the coalition’s Chareidi conscription bill.

According to Galei Tzahal reporter Daniel Grovais, a simultaneous protest was also held outside the home of UTJ MK Yaakov Asher, where demonstrators clashed with police.

Witnesses say the pack surrounding Ben Tzur’s car went completely out of control—smashing the windshield, hurling garbage bags, jumping on the vehicle, and ripping off the license plate. Police officers eventually managed to extract Ben Tzur from what onlookers described as an attempted lynching, with claims that he was beaten and had various objects thrown at him.

Shas released a statement condemning the attack, calling it “a severe act of violence carried out by a small group of rioters,” adding that such behavior is a chillul Hashem and “not the way of the Torah.”

Opposition leader Yair Lapid also spoke out, saying the assault “is not the way of the Torah and not the way of the State of Israel,” and calling for the attackers to be dealt with harshly.

Police confirmed the details in an official statement, saying dozens of rioters ambushed an elected official, damaged his vehicle, and threw garbage bags at him. Officers from the Lev HaBira station and Border Police rescued him without injury, though the vehicle sustained damage.

Police added that forces dispersed the attackers, are hunting down suspects, and consider the attack a serious attempt to harm a public official.




Trump Grants Pardon to Former Monsey Nursing‑Home Executive

 


 President Donald Trump has granted a pardon to Joseph Schwartz, an Orthodox Jewish former nursing-home executive from Monsey, New York, who had been sentenced this past April to 36 months in federal prison.


The pardon was publicly announced on X by Ed Martin, the former acting head of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Policy, who wrote: “Thank you, @POTUS! Joseph Schwartz is now free to rebuild his life and business with his family, who never stopped living and advocating for him.”

Schwartz’s case had drawn attention within the Orthodox Jewish community in Monsey, where he is well-known for his work in healthcare management. The pardon clears the way for him to return to civilian life, resume his business endeavors, and focus on family and community.

This marks the latest in a series of pardons issued by President Trump, aimed at individuals previously convicted of federal offenses.

Wake up America! 42 Muslim candidates in the 2025 election won! This is just the beginning!

 

Trump ignores the Dissing of the Syrian President ! Demands Israel Hand Over the Golan after Trump Recognized it as Part of Israel!

UN Report shows Gazan Palestinian Arabs fatter than Israelis ...The "‘Fatocide’"

 

After two years of barraging social media with lies about a famine in Gaza, Hamas propaganda channels are now trying to cover up their obesity by claiming that Israel is making them fat.

One recent Hamas media story clamored that “they’re forcing us to gain weight”, and objected that supermarkets have “shelves overflowing with chocolate, soft drinks, and cigarettes”, along with unhealthy “flour and various types of cheese used in sweets and pizza, in addition to sugar and flour derivatives used in confectionery production.”

An Arab Muslim settler in Gaza who had previously justified the Hamas massacres complained, “I am compelled to consume carbohydrates, processed cheese, and manufactured meat.”

What some are calling the ‘Fatocide’ reflects the reality that there was never a famine in Gaza, but there was a very real obesity problem. Past reports had found high rates of obesity among children and adults in Gaza and a 2019 study found that almost half of adults over the age of 42 had Type 2 Diabetes. Another Gaza report citing Hamas Ministry of Health numbers claimed that 9.6% of the population in Gaza has diabetes and it’s the cause of 11.2% deaths.

The ‘Fatocide’ is real and is claiming ‘Palestinian’ lives every day.

British University Lecturer Tells Students That Jews Bake Christian Blood Into Matzos

 

University College London—one of the United Kingdom’s leading academic institutions—is facing a firestorm after a guest lecturer delivered an antisemitic blood libel during a campus event, prompting immediate condemnation, a police referral, and sweeping disciplinary action.

Dr. Samar Maqusi, identified in event materials as a UCL researcher and former UNRWA employee, was invited to speak Tuesday at a Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) event titled “The Birth of Zionism,” part of a lecture series called “Palestine: From Existence to Resistance.” During the talk, Maqusi invoked one of history’s most notorious antisemitic conspiracies—the medieval blood libel that falsely accuses Jews of murdering non-Jews to use their blood in Passover rituals.

According to verified audio obtained by StandWithUs, Maqusi falsely told attendees that Jews require “drops of blood from someone who’s not Jewish” for a “holy ceremony,” and described the 1840 Damascus Affair—a case in which Jewish community leaders were tortured into forced confessions—as proof.

“During this feast, they make these special pancakes, or bread, and part of the holy ceremony is that drops of blood from someone who’s not Jewish… has to be mixed in that bread,” Maqusi said. She went on to claim that a monk whose disappearance triggered the Damascus Affair was found murdered and that Jews “admitted to kidnapping him and murdering him to get drops of blood for making the holy bread.”
