Julian Voloj was going through the security line at the U.N. General Assembly Hall when he saw security guards “harassing” Savetsky, a prominent pro-Israel social media influencer.
The security guards told Savetsky that she could not enter the event wearing her blazer, which had a bedazzled Israeli flag displayed prominently on its back. She was eventually allowed into the General Assembly Hall after checking her jacket.
“I do find it interesting that I was asked to check my Judaism at the door of an International Holocaust Remembrance Day event. Kind of ironic, no?” said Savetsky in an Instagram post about the incident.
After instinctively using his phone to take photos of the confrontation between Savetsky and security, Voloj said a security guard “stormed right to me, moved me aside, took my phone, used my face ID to access my photos and made me delete the pictures.”
From there, Voloj, who serves as the executive director of Be’chol Lashon, a nonprofit promoting Jewish diversity, said the security guard took his pass for the event and escorted him off the premises.
This is too funny to be true!
The founder of the Satmar Chassidus, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum z"l wrote that Jews cannot have a State before Moshiach comes, he suggested that Jews in Israel live either under an Arab or International Flag!
In retrospect, we now know how smart that suggestion was, as the United Nations would have expelled the Jews a long time ago!
But when an Arab visits their "Holy" City of Kiryas Yoel to investigate how much welfare and federal grants they get, they don't like it one bit!
Ironically, this Arab is investigating Satmar's taking money from the "medina." This is too funny! It's Satmar that screams and barks that Jews in Israel "aren't allowed to take money from the medina" ...
My friends, there is a G-d!
They cannot tolerate this visitor for even half an hour, yet when Israelis suggest limiting Arab elements within Israel, Satmar denounces it as “hisgaris be’umos.” Somehow, though, they cannot handle an outsider in their own community for even a few minutes.
They are quick to criticize the State of Israel, but when they experience even a small taste of the medicine Israel faces constantly, the bitterness is hard for them to swallow.

רשעים אפילו על פתחו של גיהנם אינם חוזרין בתשובה
This arrogant pedophile with his sick perverted smile, was going to walk free that morning, but because of his smugness and "gaaveh" he will sit at least another 3 years!
A notorious Brooklyn Chasidic pedophile nearly walked free during a resentencing Tuesday — till he pretended to forget details of his crimes, and the furious prosecutor reversed course and pushed for more time.
Nechemya Weberman ended up with a sentence slashed down from 103 years to 18 years, although with time served, that amounts to just five years left on the clock for the pedo — and with good behavior, he could be out by 2028.
“Mr. Weberman’s outrageous behavior in court today personified why he remains a danger to society,” said Sarena Townsend, the lawyer for the sicko’s then-12-year-old female victim.
“His repeated denials and refusal to face his actions proved that his assurances of rehabilitation and remorse were lies.”
Weberman, a former counselor at a Williamsburg yeshiva now in his 60s, appeared vivacious, smiling and jovial on video feed from the maximum-security Shawangunk Prison in upstate New York — despite his supporters painting an image of a feeble man at death’s door.
He had been convicted on 59 counts and originally sentenced to 103 years in prison 13 years ago for repeatedly sexually abusing victim Rivky Deutsch for three years.
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office — under pressure from some members of the convict’s religious community for years — was prepared to effectively push to free the convicted sicko, having sought the resentencing on the grounds his 103-year stint was excessive and that he had already served enough time.
But Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Joseph Alexis changed course mid-hearing when Weberman claimed to forget the gory details of his misdeeds.
The pedophile attested to his remorse and apologized, reading from a statement, claiming he had spent years “in denial’’ and was “a changed man.’’
But Alexis demanded he go further and specifically attest to his criminal acts.
Weberman repeatedly responded “I don’t remember” when asked graphic questions about his crimes, including if he recalled forcing his pre-teen victim to perform oral sex.
“What’s troubling to me is that Mr. Weberman can’t remember,” Alexis said “The victim can never forget.”
“Quite frankly, if the defendant was forthcoming, I was authorized to offer 15 years,” Alexis said, a move that would have potentially seen Weberman walk free.
“But I am going to pivot away from that,” the ADA said.
A quiet and reserved Deutsch read her own statement to the judge, recalling, “His smug smile hurt the most.
“It would be tragic if in five years from now, someone else is standing here describing his own story similar to mine, your Honor. You have the ability to prevent that.”
Judge Matthew D’Emic’s new sentence gives Weberman five more years to recall his misdeeds, but with good behavior, he could be out in half the time.
“A modified sentence of 18 years with 10 years supervision remains a meaningful penalty,” the judge said.
Weberman, who has fought his conviction and sentence for years, could still further appeal the new ruling.
Sexual abuse advocates said the new sentence sends a “dangerous” message to survivors in the Hasidic community.
“[The DA] walked in ready to let [Weberman] walk out,” said Asher Lovy, director of the Orthodox Jewish victims group Za’akah.
“And the only reason he didn’t is because that dumb f–k was too stupid to just answer the questions and show a little bit of remorse himself.”
Brett McGurk, senior adviser to former US President Joe Biden, sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, after Netanyahu suggested during his press conference that a US weapons embargo was among the factors that contributed to IDF casualties during the war.
“That statement by Netanyahu is categorically false. Biden left office with a ceasefire in Gaza and hostages coming home, a ceasefire in Lebanon with Hezbollah defeated, Iran in its weakest position since 1979 after two failed missile attacks thanks to the deployment of U.S. military forces and a coordinated response that destroyed Iran's air defenses," McGurk stated.
He added that Biden’s “commitment to Israel's security to include US military assistance was unwavering throughout the crisis."
Journalist Amit Segal responded with a detailed fact-check, writing, “And now to the facts: Biden imposed a partial arms embargo on Israel, halted the transfer of bulldozers that Israel had already paid for - which led to soldiers being put at risk and killed. He caused the IDF to enter Rafah with tanks that didn’t have full ammunition loads, which also put soldiers at risk and led to casualties."
Segal further noted, “Biden opposed the assassination of Nasrallah; his defense secretary cursed during a phone call with [then-Defense Minister] Gallant when Gallant told him that our aircraft had taken out the Hezbollah leader. Iran was not at a low point when Biden left - on the contrary, it was confident enough to launch two barrages at Israel."
According to Segal, “The ceasefire Biden longs for was, for him, a goal rather than a means."
He concluded: “We’ve all been around for more than a year, so we were here when it happened - there’s no need to cover us with lies and propaganda."
Hamas survivor Emily Damari posted a video documenting a convoy of aid trucks on their way to the Gaza Strip and sharply criticized the decision to allow the trucks to pass through into the strip.
"By myself, I counted over 15 trucks on the road, but it's hard to believe that hundreds of trucks carrying food are flowing this morning to 'non-involved' people in Gaza," Damari wrote on social media.
She added, "Don't you still understand that there are no innocent people there?! Apparently, we haven't learned anything."
Since the ceasefire came into effect, 4,200 trucks are entering every week, following instructions from the political echelon. At the same time, IDF officials recommended reducing the number of aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip.
According to data presented recently in closed security discussions and published by Ynet, "The population in Gaza could survive with much less. 70% of the trucks belong to the private sector, which Hamas taxes twice, imposing a 15-25% tax on every truck of food, fuel, or medicine, and an additional tax when the goods are sold in the market. Hamas is making tens of millions of shekels a day, and the coffers are only shrinking."
According to the report, Qatar, Hamas's main patron, demanded the continued flow of thousands of trucks every week as a condition, meaning there is no discussion of halting the aid.
