Rabbi Yitzchak claimed in his defense that the entire argument began over the question of whether the world is flat or round.”
But "how it began" is not why he was fined, he was fined because he publicly shamed a married women to thousands of people!
The survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research arrives at a moment when a once-consensus foreign policy issue is increasingly polarizing Americans along partisan and generational lines, driven by criticism for Israel’s conduct nearly three years after the outbreak of its latest war with Hamas in Gaza, which began after the terror group led a brutal massacre of southern communities on October 7, 2023.
About one-third of US adults — including roughly half of Democrats — believe that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians during the war in Gaza.
Israel insists that it fights in accordance with international law, and has rejected allegations of genocide or other war crimes in its campaign against Hamas. It has noted evacuation warnings sent in advance of airstrikes; efforts, throughout most of the war, to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid; and Hamas’s systematic use of human shields.
About 2 in 10 Americans say Israel has not committed genocide, and the rest — about half — don’t know enough to say.
A similar share — 30 percent — of Jewish adults say Israel has committed genocide, although about half, 49%, say it has not.
President Trump said Wednesday that he believes his memorandum of understanding with Iran is dead after he ordered overnight airstrikes on 80 targets after Iranian forces attacked three commercial ships.
“I don’t like them at all. And frankly, I think we wasted a lot of time with them, I think we should just do our business,” Trump said in his first public remarks after ordering the airstrikes.
When asked by a reporter if the preliminary peace deal, which Trump signed June 17, was dead, Trump replied: “To me, i think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them anymore. They’re scum.”
“They’re vicious, violent people… so far as I’m concerned, it’s over,” Trump said. “So far as I’m concerned, it’s just a waste of time dealing with them. They’re liars”
“They’re liars, they’re cheats, they’re sick people,” he added. “Frankly, I don’t want to waste my time with them. Now I’ll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want, but I don’t see it.”
This story is developing.
A lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges that the Trump administration's immigration agencies have been sharing confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government, violating national immigration regulations and endangering countless Iranians, court filings argue.
The lawsuit depicts a coordinated campaign between the U.S. and Iranian governments to identify Iranians in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and pressure them to return to Iran — a marked departure from decades of diplomatic hostility between the two governments and an ongoing war.
The situation is simple…
Trump will do whatever he wants to do. He’s the President of the United States, and believes he answers to nobody but himself.
So be it.
When he started his second term, he was indeed the best US president in terms of his support for Israel.
Many are now asking “What’s changed”. The answer is simple, and Trump himself answers this question with almost every second thing he says now…
Supporting Israel is simply not financially beneficial when he could be earning himself and his family, not America or Americans, more money than he knows what to do with. Arabs come with near trillions. They will lavish him with giant Boeing 747’s, billions in cash, all the oil he wants, and a way to make billions more of the stock markets. Every single decision he makes whether good or bad has bets placed against them instantly, and people make a heck of a lot of money in hours. Then whatever happens next is irrelevant.
Israel for its part simply can’t compete. For years all the podcasters and propagandists have been crying out how Israel owns America and all the politicians and banks and media, and it was all an inversion of reality. Qatar and the other Arab states have pumped hundreds of billions into buying American universities and media and investment firms and crypto and… politicians. Not Israel. But Qatar. And Saudi. And Iran. And Turkey.
And now, 18 months on, President Trump is the best US president the hardline annihilationist Arab world has ever had.
It pays to be the bad guys. It doesn’t pay to be the good guys. And very often good doesn’t triumph over evil because evil doesn’t play by the rules and evil has more blood money to throw around.
It is what it is. Moaning about it is pointless. In just 9 months, Hamas, after committing October 7, have been saved. So too have Hezbollah (twice) and the Islamic regime after massacring 40000+ people are free to carry on as was.
Turkey who are equally as bad if not worse and more evil than the Islamic regime are courted and schmoozed, and every jihadist murderous state is praised as “a dear friend”.
Meanwhile, the only country in the entire world who actually stood by America and sacrificed its own soldiers to fight alongside them is mocked and threatened by the administration, the PM ridiculed and talked down to, and all this while the entire Arab world and NATO abandoned America.
But with literally everything that we’ve seen and been through over the past 3 years, with Oct 7 being followed by the world turning on Israel and standing with those who butchered and raped our people, and allowed the worst plague of antisemitic hatred to spread like a wildfire, why is anybody even surprised. Deniers still throw out “it’s a game. It’s 4D chess” and simply cannot accept what’s crystal clear in front of them.
With what’s happened and happening just over the past two months alone, Trump hasn’t stopped any war or prevented Iran from having a nuclear bomb.
He absolutely guaranteed that next war is coming and will be far worse than any before it. And the Islamists he’s courting will very likely have the bomb, if not already.
Again, none of this should be shock when you take a step back and just see what’s right in front of you. And unlike many, I get visibility of what isn’t in front of everybody too. So it’s doubly as unsurprising or shocking. It’s quite predictable, all the signs were there so early on that it is not a surprise.
Life sucks sometimes. We just need to carry on. What’s important is how Netanyahu for now, and whomever may possibly replace him in the future reacts and acts to it all. Now is when Israel needs to go it alone. No more dependency on allies who repeatedly show they will switch in a heartbeat. There is very little difference between Obama and Biden and Trump when it comes to the Middle East. We need to decide our own destiny. Nobody else will.

An American New Yorker, Straus visited Jerusalem in 1904, canceled the rest of his Mediterranean tour, and dedicated his life to the Land of Israel.
He poured his wealth into:
Soup kitchens feeding hundreds daily in the Old City.
Health stations to fight malaria and trachoma.
A major Jerusalem health center with a cornerstone carved in English, Hebrew, and Arabic—built "for the benefit of all inhabitants."
In 1912, he was in Palestine with his brother Isidor. Nathan wanted to stay longer, but an impatient Isidor sailed home early on a ship called the Titanic. Isidor never made it back.
Devastated, Nathan spent the rest of his days giving, famously saying: “Give at death, it is lead. Give in sickness, it is silver. Give in health, it is gold.”
Today, a thriving coastal city of 250,000 people stands in Israel, built on the land he bet on decades before it was a state.
It’s called Netanya. Named for Natan.
Brooklyn real estate developer Ezra Unger is in advanced negotiations to acquire Israeli airline Arkia, according to Israeli news outlet Kikar Hashabbat.
The report said Unger, 36, of the Borough Park neighborhood, is seeking to purchase the airline, with people close to him saying he hopes to end the carrier's commercial flights on Shabbat.
Neither Unger nor Arkia has confirmed the reported talks. No purchase price, valuation or financing details have been disclosed, and it remains unclear whether the deal will move forward.
