Herzog causing huge Chillul Hashem mocking Trump's request that he pardon Bibi

 US President Donald Trump leveled an especially fierce attack against Israeli President Isaac Herzog regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's pardon request.

Trump harshly criticized the Israeli President, telling Barak Ravid of Channel 12 that Herzog is “a disgrace" and warning: “Tell him I’m exposing him." Trump said he has been discussing the issue with Herzog for about a year.

Trump added that Herzog should grant a pardon to Benjamin Netanyahu immediately, saying he does not want anything distracting Netanyahu from the war against Iran.

According to Trump, Herzog promised him several times that he would pardon Netanyahu. He said he told Herzog he would refuse to meet him again if the step was not taken and claimed the issue has been hanging over Netanyahu for the past year.

Litvishe Bochrim of Bayit Ve'Gan Continue their "Purim Minhag" of Beating the Crap out of Bus drivers and Vandalizing the Buses

Chardeidim Examining a downed missile to see if they can kill more bus drivers

Chareidim hold that a "minhag" is even stronger than a Halacha! 

That could very well be, but the Litvishe Bnei-Torah take that dictum quite literally and decided that their mantra of wanting to "die and not enlist" can be reversed with the concept of "Ve'nehapuch Hu" so on Purim instead of being ready to die, they want to kill others! 

What is interesting to note is that Haman himself never killed a Jew and in fact never managed to injure a single Jew, yet here in the year of תשפ"ו we have "emesdika" Bnei-Torah who have a minhag to beating up bus drivers and then vandalizing the buses, just like the "chalyeres in Harlem" 

Now I know, that I am going to get a ton of comments (I will delete them all) that I hate Charedim. 

Which is ironic, because I am a proud Chardeie and value learning and give many shiurim in Beit Shemesh! 

I am not the one beating the crap out of Bus Drivers and I am not the one smashing bus windows, nor do I stop illegally any traffic, I don't call other Jews "Nazis" but these sickos commenting, say that I am the hater, for posting what they do. 

Calling me the "hater" is not going to solve a thing! The "haters" are the ones committing the Chillul Hashem! 

The "haters" always comment "Why are you reporting Chareidie transgression exclusively, why don't you post when the Chilonim transgress?"

These remarks show me that those commenters equate Bnei-Torah to Chilonim!

 I don't, I believe that someone who supposedly is a Ben Torah should be judged on a higher standard! Absolutely! 

I posted awhile ago that one of their gedoilim paskened that a local Mayoral election in Beit Shemesh was a "Milchemes Mitzvah", this just 5 months after October 7 massacres,  but when questioned about the Oct 7th war, he said that October 7 did not fit into the criteria of  a "Milchemes Mitzvah," All I did was post it and I am called the hater! 

What sheer insanity??

 Update from the Israel Police Control Room at 7:00 PM - Shock from a brutal attack on a bus driver in the Beit Vegan neighborhood in Jerusalem. 

At the direction of the police, service to the neighborhood was suspended. In the Beit Vegan neighborhood in Jerusalem, bus windows were smashed and a minority driver was attacked by rioters.

 Following the act of vandalism and according to the direction of the Israel Police, service to the neighborhood will be suspended until further notice. "We view with great seriousness the attack on drivers, whose only sin is their dedication and willingness to serve passengers even in times of emergency. These acts cannot pass in silence and the rioters must be condemned."

The neighborhood council wrote and warned the residents, the young men and the heads of the yeshivas, as if in the name of the rabbis, but they mocked the rabbis, and as every year on Purim, they get drunk and beat drivers and vandalize the buses.

It should be noted that this was  done in other neighborhoods as well, with some o rabbis publishing warning letters, but it did not help everywhere

The driver who was injured is an Arab, the bus was sabotaged in the name of 'Purim' in the Lithuanian style from ancient times

It should be noted that this is the reason why Maran Rabbi Gaon Edelstein enacted a regulation that students should study on Purim in the yeshiva to prevent these plays, but not every yeshiva accepted the custom, some prefer that the young men go collect money for the yeshivas

Missiles Targeting Bnei-Brak

 I am surprised  no one advised the Iranians about the "havtacha" of the Chazon Ish that Bnei-Brak will never be bombed! There weren't any missiles then!

Tucker Carlsen Uses One of Yossi Mizrachi's Videos to Prove that Jews are trying to bomb the Al Aqsa Mosque on Har Habayis

 

Yossi Mizrachi presents himself as a rabbi, though he admitted that he doesn't have rabbinical ordination and many people challenge the authority he claims.

He has made statements about the Holocaust that have drawn widespread condemnation accusing him of denying the accepted number of 6 million, and he has offered personal justifications for his philandering behavior that are considered morally unacceptable.

Despite this, he continues speaking to large audiences who often take his words at face value.

Yossi's childish and ignorant rhetoric has now reached even broader platforms, with Tucker Carlson recently featuring one of Mizrachi’s videos during a segment widely criticized as antisemitic, giving this kind of reckless commentary an even larger stage. This raving lunatic can get us all killed!
