Should Jews leave America now?

DIN: In the video below, you have "debate" between  Rabbi Elchanan Shoff and Rabbi Michal Weichbrod

 I am in the midst of taking apart this discussion and exposing the half-truths and all lies of  Rabbi Shoff! 


by Avraham Shusteris

The below article is a response to a recent podcast debate between two American Rabbis who discussed whether Othodox (frum) Jews in America should be making aliyah now. The entire debate can be seen above.

The question is asked. And after the Sydney massacre it is being asked again. It is whispered in the shuls of Brooklyn and shouted in the study halls of Lakewood.

We hear the great excuse, the terrible shield behind which the American Jew hides his fear and his comfort.

"How can I make Aliyah? What about the children? What if they go off the derech? What if they fall?"

And so, to "save" the children, we sentence them to the graveyard of the Exile.

It is madness! It is a tragedy of logic that only a Jew in Galut could invent. You are afraid that in the Holy Land, the land God’s eyes are upon from the beginning of the year to the end, your child will lose his way? But in America- the land of filth, of materialism, of the worship of the Golden Dollar-there he will be safe?

New haunting footage: Couple confronts Sydney terrorists before being shot

 


Newly released video footage appears to show a bystander attempting to disarm one of the alleged attackers moments before the deadly shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, during a Hanukkah event.

Dashcam footage from the scene shows a man wearing a purple top struggling with Sajid Akram near a vehicle close to a footbridge shortly before gunfire erupted. The footage captures the two men grappling on the ground, with the bystander appearing to reach for and gain control of the firearm during the struggle.

As the confrontation continues, the man in the purple top is seen rising to his feet while holding the weapon and backing away, gesturing toward Akram in what appears to be an effort to keep him at a distance. A woman is visible standing nearby during the incident.

The newly surfaced footage shows the bystander stepping backward while still facing Akram, seemingly attempting to prevent him from regaining control of the gun.

The man and woman were later identified as Boris and Sofia Gurman, a Russian-Jewish couple living in Bondi. They were the first two victims of the attack.

Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, Sajid Akram, 50, opened fire on people gathered for the Chanukah by the Sea event at Bondi at approximately 6:40 p.m. on Sunday, marking the first night of Hanukkah.

The dashcam footage also appears to show what resembles an Islamic State flag displayed across the front windscreen of a silver car at the scene.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the following day that the attackers were motivated by Islamic State ideology.

The incident left at least 15 people dead, with more than 40 others injured.

Trump bans Palestinian Arabs from Travelling to the USA

 

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday expanded the United States’ travel ban to include nationals from seven additional countries, among them Syria, as well as holders of Palestinian Authority (PA) passports.

According to a White House proclamation, the restrictions aim to prevent foreigners who could “undermine or destabilize [the US] culture, government, institutions or founding principles.”

The decision comes just days after two US soldiers and a civilian were killed in Syria. Washington has recently sought to rehabilitate ties with Damascus following the fall of former President Bashar Al-Assad’s regime.

Syrian authorities said the attack’s perpetrator was a security officer dismissed for “extremist Islamist ideas.”

The Trump administration had already informally barred PA passport holders, describing the measure as part of a broader policy aligned with Israel’s opposition to foreign recognition of a Palestinian state, which several Western countries, including France and Britain, have backed.

Jewish man stabbed in the chest by a Black Guy shouting antisemitic slurs in Crown Heights

 




A Jewish man was stabbed in the chest by a man shouting antisemitic slurs in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood on Tuesday.

The victim was attacked near the intersection of Kingston Avenue and Lincoln Place and stabbed in the chest. He was transported to Kings County Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and is expected to recover. Authorities said the wound was not life-threatening.

The assailant engaged the victim in a brief confrontation before shouting antisemitic slurs, including “[Expletive] these Jews,” and saying it would be acceptable if the Holocaust were to happen again. The attacker then pulled out a knife and stabbed the man in the chest. The victim fought back, preventing the blade from penetrating deeply, before the suspect fled the scene on foot.

Police and emergency medical services responded shortly after the attack. As of Tuesday night, no arrests had been made.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident as a bias attack, and Crown Heights Shomrim is assisting police. Authorities are asking anyone with information to call 911 or Crown Heights Shomrim at 718-774-3333.

In a Bitter Irony a anti-Frum Tel Aviv City Councilwoman Sounds exactly like the Anti-Chabad Yeshivishe Fanatics


 Tel Aviv–Jaffa City Council member Hadas Ragolsky published a video in which she attacked the Chabad movement and its initiatives aimed at local youth in the city. In an interview with 103FM, she expressed her frustration over the situation.

“The video was recorded ten days ago and went online eight days ago, six days before someone was murdered in that shocking terrorist attack in Australia. The video relates to what Chabad is doing in Tel Aviv, not what it does worldwide, and not to what happened in Australia. The call in the video is meant to hold up a mirror to what is happening in Tel Aviv. We need to tell the truth. Chabad is a missionary, messianic movement that seeks to bring people closer to Judaism and religion, as they themselves openly declare everywhere. It is a movement of religious coercion. That is what they came to do,” Ragolsky explained.
