U.S. Launches New Wave of Strikes on Iran After Hormuz Attack
The U.S. military launched a new and larger round of airstrikes against Iranian targets on Saturday after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked another commercial vessel, the MT Kiku, in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a senior U.S. official.
The strikes targeted Iranian air defenses, drone storage sites, cruise missiles, targeting radars, mine-laying capabilities, and surface-to-air missile systems.
“Iran had a chance to stop shooting, and they didn’t take it,” the official told Fox News. “Instead, they attacked another ship in Hormuz this morning.”
It has now been thirteen days since Frieda Vizel posted her interview with “Dangerous Pearl.”
I debated whether to ignore it or address it on my forum. But when a very close relative of Pearl reached out to me and took the trouble to email me privately — writing,
“L’maan Hashem, someone must respond to her ridiculous assertions about the Holocaust, the family is mortified” —
and when I saw that the interview had already accumulated over 107,000 views in just thirteen days, I realized I could not remain silent.
I call her “dangerous” not as an insult, but because of Frieda Vizel’s very own warnings!
At 4:39 — her work (Frieda's) is “reaching antisemites,” so she must be “mindful of her content because of the climate.”
At 4:19 — she must publish “with discretion, with care.”
At 10:35 — she must think twice before speaking because “the antisemites are going to take this out of context.”
Given all that, the obvious question is:
Why did she publish this interview with Pearl — knowing full well that antisemites will seize on every word?
Frieda explains that she admires Pearl’s “courage,” saying Pearl knows her views are harshly judged and will make her unpopular, yet she shares them anyway. Frieda adds that what she and Pearl share is “deep convictions even when the world doesn’t agree,” which she finds admirable.
Let’s examine that.
Frieda Vizel grew up in Kiryas Yoel, married, had a child, and later left the community. Today she gives tours in Williamsburg and conducts interviews. Her English has improved significantly — her first language is Yiddish — but I often hear her use sophisticated English words that simply do not fit the context. And I genuinely believe she does not understand what the word “conviction” actually means.
Frieda seems to think that “conviction” automatically implies something noble or admirable.
But convictions can be good — or catastrophically evil.
Eichmann had convictions. Hamas has convictions.
Convictions, when rooted in delusion or hatred, are not admirable — they are dangerous.

I would like to thank those donated generously to my Tefillin Campaign; we distributed over 50 pairs of tefillin!
One of the donors who donated 6 pair of tefillin came to Israel, and I introduced him to the boys who were receiving the tefillin and he was able to give them the tefillin himself while his family was watching, it was a very moving moment! תזכו למצות
Trump stopped the 12 day war prematurely, and joined in six months later because he saw the Israeli success and wanted to claim some credit. He knew the big risk had already been taken by Israel in neutralizing the Iranian air defenses. It was Israel that killed the top leaders… pic.twitter.com/HYISbxCIyx
A traitor who masquerades as an Orthodox Jew. Pretends to pray at our Wailing Wall. Then stabs our backs. By advocating that America "rein in" the Jews. And so bombs rain down upon Israelis. Kushner betrays the Jewish People for personal gain. He is lower than a Nazi. https://t.co/Z2jQes7lm3pic.twitter.com/7i0ZGcuaIn
So, Turkey would’ve fought on Iran’s side but for Trump’s intervention? That means Turkey would’ve fought against us not just Israel. Israel was our ally in fighting Iran. And now we’re selling them 80 fighter engines and F-35s as a reward?
As the Trump Administration seeks to stabilize the Gaza Strip through its “Board of Peace” initiative, one participant stands out as particularly ill-suited for the role of mediator: Turkey.
The inclusion of Turkey in any effort to disarm Hamas or promote peace in the Middle East would be laughable if the stakes were not so high.
For years, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government have served as some of Hamas’s most loyal supporters and protectors.

At the end of the day, Brad Lander is as Jewish as the Satmar Rebbe from Monroe, and since Lander is Jewish, the Mrs couldn't bring herself to vote for a Jew!
IRONIC TWIST: Mamdani’s Wife Left Brad Lander Off Endorsement Post Despite her Husband Backing Him
In an ironic twist, New York City First Lady Rama Duwaji urged her Instagram followers to vote for Mamdani-endorsed congressional candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier—but failed to mention Brad Lander, despite him being Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s third endorsed congressional candidate. Lander nevertheless went on to win his race.
Lander’s victory marks another win for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, as all three congressional candidates endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani emerged victorious in their respective primaries.
There is a peculiar human instinct to believe that certain things happen only to other people. Until they happen to you, prejudice or discrimination can feel like distant problems – possible, certainly, but not immediate.
