Time's up Harvard is about to get its clock cleaned by no-nonsense Trump & Co.

 

Tariffs are consuming so many headlines that you might have missed how Harvard, the pinnacle of the Ivy League, is struggling to come to terms with a simple, undeniable reality: It’s about to get its clock cleaned by Donald J. Trump.

Trump & Co., are sick of the antics of the Ivies — their blatant disregard for the law by looking to consider race in admissions, the far left tilt of the professoriate, and of course their acceptance of blatant antisemitic protests that erupted in support of one of the most heinous crimes in history, the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis by Hamas.

Qatar Sabotaged Hostage Deal To Secure Better Terms For Hamas

 

Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

Qatari officials supported Hamas in rejecting the most recent Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire/hostage release, Israeli media outlets reported on Sunday.

According to the report, Qatar pressured Hamas not to accept the proposal, claiming that the terror group would receive a better offer in the future.

Israeli senior officials said that Qatar’s “assistance” in mediation efforts has been hindering progress in the talks, adding that it would be preferable to work solely with Egypt.

According to the reports, if it wasn’t for Qatar’s interference, it is possible that Hamas would have accepted the most recent Egyptian proposal due to the increased IDF pressure in Gaza, the blockage of humanitarian aid into the Strip, and intense diplomatic pressure applied by Egypt and PA President Mahmoud Abbas.

Ynet reported that contrary to the public perception that the war in Gaza is stagnating, recent IDF operations in Gaza have succeeded in creating pressure on Hamas to accept a partial deal that will see the release of some hostages.

The Saudi Al-Hadath media outlet reported on Sunday that Egypt has demanded that Hamas provide a full report on the hostages’ conditions by early May.

The time has finally come: Chareidie brothers, come and enlist

 

By Yigal Brand

Translated from Hebrew!

We are in the midst of a historic change. No less. Anyone who opens their eyes knows: Without ultra-Orthodox conscription, we will not be able to hold the next front lines. It's not a matter of ideology, but of existence. Not to enlist in order to promote equality of burden, not to win old arguments, but simply because the country is in danger – and the army needs you.

The public debate surrounding the conscription law is full of lies, slogans, and populism. There are those who prefer to turn the ultra-Orthodox into enemies, to shout 'exclusion of women,' 'a halachic state,' and 'sell the state to the ultra-Orthodox,' instead of rolling up their sleeves and building a real, smart, and feasible model for ultra-Orthodox recruitment. There are those who prefer to earn a few more likes on Twitter or another round on the radio – instead of sitting behind closed doors and building agreements. There are those who want to fight. We want you.

To all the detractors, you should know: this is no longer a concept. We're not in 2018. We are after the 7th of October. The State of Israel has woken up. There is no more room for a 'small and smart army,' there is no more room for excuses. In order to defeat the enemies from within and without, we need you.

To be honest, for many years the ultra-Orthodox did not believe that the state really wanted them in the army. And it didn't just happen. There were those who made sure to give them an image of a 'problem'. Now? You already understand that this is not just a question of citizenship, but of national responsibility. And when there is a real process within the ultra-Orthodox public, we have to support it, not sabotage it.

Of course, it's not easy. You can't forcibly recruit soldiers for combat. You can't break a seventy-year-old social taboo in one day. But what is possible is to build tailored tracks, to set sanctions for those who evade, to give incentives to those who enlist, and to lead a poignant, honest and complex discourse that understands the depth of the challenge and knows that at the end there is hope.

The ultra-Orthodox public will not become religious Zionism. And that's perfectly fine. We don't need it. They need to come and serve – because this is the minimum required of every citizen of the State of Israel. And we must say this without shame: Whoever serves should receive more. It's not discrimination – it's morality. This is not coercion – it is the way of the land.

We will not be deterred by the political turmoil. No interrogators in committees and no shouting in the studios. We know what is right for the country – and we will do it. If necessary, we will pay a political price. If necessary, we will fight with all our might. But we will not succumb to populism.

This is the moment. This is the time. The time has come for all of us to walk together – ultra-Orthodox, religious, secular – on a common path. Not a war for identity, but for existence.



Be Like Yehoshua and Caleb Instead of the Rest of the Meraglim!

 

by Yonatan Dobov

I translated from Hebrew!

There are times of the year when you can really feel them in the air. Like the High Holy Days with Selichot, Hanukkah with the candles, the four species in Sukkot, and also the days of salvation and redemption that we are in now – those that begin with Passover, with the great miracle of the Exodus from Egypt, and continue through Holocaust and Heroism Day, Memorial Day for Israel's fallen soldiers, Independence Day, Jerusalem Day, and even Victory Day over Nazi Germany.

Somehow, within one month, the national story of the people of Israel is concentrated, from the moment of its redemption from the 49 gates of impurity to the declaration of its independence and the redemption of the land, some two thousand years later.

Iranian Diplomat States that Us Negotiations Will Not Stop “Death to America” chants

 



Former Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi stated that nuclear negotiations will not end the “Death to America” chants in Iran, and declared that Israel will ultimately be erased.

Even the interviewer doesn’t know what to make of this man’s stupidity.

It really makes you wonder why anyone, the United States or any other nation, would continue to engage in negotiations with a regime like this.

It defies all logic.
