Itamar Ben-Gal, 29 Father of four murdered in Ariel terror attack

An Israeli man was killed on Monday afternoon after he was stabbed in the chest in a terror attack outside the West Bank settlement of Ariel, the army and medics said.

He was identified as Itamar Ben-Gal, 29, a father of four from the nearby settlement of Har Bracha.

Video from the scene showed the Palestinian attacker crossing a road toward Ben-Gal, who was standing in front of a bus stop, and stabbing him.

Ben-Gal then fled across the street with the stabber in pursuit.

The military said an IDF officer identified the terrorist and pursued him, hitting with his vehicle, but he managed to flee. “IDF troops are searching the area,” the army said.

The Magen David Adom emergency service and army medics treated the victim at the scene in the northern West Bank settlement.

Medics tried to resuscitate Ben-Gal, who was stabbed repeatedly in the chest, medics said.

He was taken to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikvah, but died of his wounds, the hospital said.

His funeral was called for Tuesday at 10 a.m. in Har Bracha.

Speaking at a Likud faction meeting in the Knesset, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that the terrorist would be captured.

“We will bring him to justice, as we always do. I put my trust in the security forces who do the hardest work against these reprehensible attacks,” he added.

Ben-Gal is the second Israeli to be killed in an attack in the West Bank in under a month.

On January 9, Rabbi Raziel Shevach, 35, was fatally shot near Nablus in the northern West Bank.

Mishpacha’s fake history claim

by Leslie Ginsparg Klein

Mishpacha Magazine is under fire for pixelating women’s faces in pictures from the Holocaust. While Mishpacha’s policy of not printing pictures of women or girls above the age of five is well-known, blurring the face of a Holocaust victim touched a nerve. In response to criticism, Mishpacha is now defending its policy of erasing women with the claim that, “Like all ultra-Orthodox media, we respect the rules set by rabbinical leaders 70 years ago to not publish pictures of women.” Mishpacha is making a similar claim in emailed responses to letters to the editor, stating, “Mishpacha Magazine abides by the policies set in place by prominent Torah leaders of 70 years ago, which include not publishing photos of women.”

Chutzpeh!! Shmuel Krawatsky Sues his alleged victims

The "alleged" Chazir Shmuel Krawatsky 

In the wake of The Jewish Week’s report on allegations that a former teacher at a Baltimore Jewish day school abused three young boys when he was a counselor at a Maryland summer camp in 2015, the rabbi has filed a lawsuit against his accusers.

BY HANNAH DREYFUS

On Tuesday, Rabbi Shmuel Krawatsky filed the suit in Maryland federal court against the parents of his accusers and Chaim Levin, a sexual abuse activist and blogger, for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Rabbi Krawatsky and his wife are asking for $75 million in compensatory and punitive damages — $15 million per defendant. They say the rabbi’s accusers engaged in an effort to “damage Rabbi K and destroy his reputation and ability to earn a living” by publicly alleging that he sexually abused their sons, charges that he denies.

Attorney Jonathan Little, who represents the families, said the lawsuit is a “thinly veiled attempt to intimidate our clients.”

In the coming weeks, the families of three alleged victims plan to sue Rabbi Krawatsky for battery of children and “any organization that had knowledge that Rabbi K was being inappropriate with children and failed to intervene,” Little Told the Jewish Week in January.

OTD guy burns his tefillin!

Why is it, that regular "chilonim" who hate frumkeit, would never even think of doing something like this? 

Why is it only "Chareidim' who go OTD, that would burn their Tefillin??

Just a few years ago a Satmar OTD girl posed naked wearing tefillin???

Where does this utter contempt of whats sacred come from???

I believe that the hypocrisy of our Gedoilim and leaders are responsible for this.... and I suggest we start working on this pronto!

Satmar Hypocrites ban Traveling to Florida But Satmar Rebbe Makes Huge TuBe'Svat Party One Block from Beach!!!

Every single week, there are full page "Kol Koras" in the Satmar Newspapers,  prohibiting travel to Florida ...... 

But that prohibition is only for the poor sheep who actually take those "Prohibitions" seriously, but the Rebbe himself, R' Zalman TeitelBUM, doesn't have to abide by his very own prohibitions.... after all he is the rebbe ..... 

If you would point out their double standard, they say that this "prohibition" is only for the "Yingeleit" the young ones....

So ... old "kockers' no longer have a "teivah" for young 'Chickie poos??

and if you look closely .... there are young guys there too....

and all you have to do is take stroll along the boardwalk, and you will see Young Satmar Chassidim  leisurely walking the boardwalk.

DeClassified Memo Shows that the FBI Tried to Overturn an Elected President!

Now that we know what the declassified House memo says about government misconduct, we also know what it means: 

The Washington swamp — the deep state — is bigger, more vicious and more dangerous to American liberty than even a cynic could have imagined.

by Michael Goodwin

Because of the memo and previous revelations, we know that swamp creatures are embedded in the top of the FBI and the Department of Justice. Some used their power to try to tip a presidential campaign based on their personal politics.

FBI Tried Screwing Trump .... Nunes Memo un-classified! READ IT HERE !

The House Intelligence Committee has released its controversial memo outlining alleged abuses of secret surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department in the Trump-Russia investigation. Here are some key points:

* The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.

* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.

* The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.

* DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.

The FBI and Justice Department mounted a months long effort to keep the information outlined in the memo out of the House Intelligence Committee's hands. Only the threat of contempt charges and other forms of pressure forced the FBI and Justice to give up the material.

Once Intelligence Committee leaders and staff compiled some of that information into the memo, the FBI and Justice Department, supported by Capitol Hill Democrats, mounted a ferocious campaign of opposition, saying release of the memo would endanger national security and the rule of law.

But Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes never wavered in his determination to make the information available to the public. President Trump agreed, and, as required by House rules, gave his approval for release.

Finally, the memo released today does not represent the sum total of what House investigators have learned in their review of the FBI and Justice Department Trump-Russia investigation. That means the fight over the memo could be replayed in the future when the Intelligence Committee decides to release more information.

Maxine Waters Hugged Vicious Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan but Calls Trump A Racist

\

Watch at the  3.48 mark Maxine Waters Hugging the Vicious Black Racist 

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), who has had no problem labeling President Trump a racist, had no problem hugging one of the worst racists on the planet in 2006 as she joined members of the Congressional Black Caucus to meet virulent anti-Semite Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Farrakhan’s history of vehement Jew-hatred was amply illustrated by former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer on Monday, as he castigated the press for their double standard in condemning politicians who have countenanced KKK leader David Duke but not members of the CBC for meeting with Farrakhan.

Roughly two weeks ago, Waters issued a statement calling President Trump a racist and urging his impeachment after his alleged “s***hole” comments regarding Haiti and African countries. 

But hugging someone who calls Judaism a “gutter religion,” someone who said of Jews, “You are the Synagogue of Satan and therefore will be dealt with by God,” is perfectly fine in Waters’ world.

What an astonishing hypocrite.

Mishpacha Magazine Blocks a Photo of a murdered lady murdered in the Camps

So now we know that Chareideim get turned on by photos of murdered fully clothed women!

I swear its sick out there and getting sicker!

In last week’s issue of Mishpacha, a charedi magazine, part of a photo of Holocaust victims was pixelated to hide a woman’s face, prompting JOFA (Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance) to condemn the decision in the strongest of terms.

Sruli Besser, an editor of Mishpacha, responding to the criticism in a Facebook post, noted that the photo originally came from the Hebrew version of Mishpacha, which tends to follow stricter modesty guidelines.

“The picture was not pixelated by us: we wouldn’t have done so — in fact, in the very same article on the same page, you clearly see a picture of a girl,” wrote Besser.

He followed up with a second post on Monday night, saying the conversation about women’s pictures in Mishpacha is “not for everyone.”

“The problem is that every time we open a door and show a willingness to engage in dialogue, a whole horde of angry agenda-driven people who — while well-meaning and sincere — aren’t part of our conversation, see a chance to grandstand and they seize it,” wrote Besser. 

“But we aren’t a People [magazine] who changes things because of a hashtag campaign or Facebook ambush. That’s not how it will work, not what’s going to dictate the process.”

Critics of Mishpacha defended their right to call out the magazine’s policies. Shoshanna Keats-Jaskoll, who recently penned an op-ed calling out this practice and has been one of a number a number of activists working on this issue, responded to Besser in her own Facebook post.

“The idea that because I am not charedi, I cannot/should not speak out against erasing women is ridiculous. I am a Jew.”

CHAREDIM VISIT JAILED ARAB TEEN'S FAMILY HOME

Members of the anti-Zionist Charedi  group Neturei Karta, a group financially supported by Satmar Organizations, recently met with the family of Ahed Tamimi, the Arab teen who was arrested last month for assaulting IDF soldiers.

The Hirsch family and other activists from the ultra-Orthodox group arrived at the Tamimi family home in Nabi Salah, near Ramallah, with Palestinian flags in their hands and expressed their support for the family's struggle for the girl's release, according to the Charedi news website Kikar Hashabbat.

The delegation met with the girl's father, brothers and friends to express their condemnation of what they view as undemocratic behavior of the State of Israel: arresting an innocent girl for no fault of her own.

"We came to express our solidarity with what happened to the family," said Rabbi Israel Meir Hirsch. "At the meeting we spoke against the occupation and against the ongoing oppression of the Palestinians... It is not only this arrest but the entire conduct of the Zionist establishment against the Palestinian people, this situation."

"We arrived at the village and everyone appreciated our actions," said Hirsch.

Tamimi was arrested during a raid on her home in the West Bank village of Nebi Salah on December 19, after a video showing her slapping and kicking Israeli soldiers who did not respond went viral. Another young Palestinian woman filmed the action with her cell phone, suggesting that Tamimi was actively seeking to provoke a violent reaction by the soldiers.

Obama Picture Hidden For 13 Years

So here you see a smiling Obama with a smiling Louis Farrakhan the well spoken anti-Semite!

We all knew, except for Satmar, that Obama was an anti-Semite, and now there is proof in a photograph!

Obama gave billions to Iran even after Iran vowed to wipe Israel off the map.. R' Aron TeitelBUM, had urged Congressman to vote for this murderous deal and to boycott Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress to warn them of this treacherous pact with Iran.

A photo of former President Barack Obama smiling with the Minister of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, has surfaced thirteen years later.

The photographer, Askia Muhammad, said he took the photo during a Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) meeting in 2005, when Obama was an Illinois senator. He said he “gave up the picture at the time and basically swore secrecy.”

Muhammad believes if the photo had been released during Obama’s presidential campaign, “it absolutely would have made a difference.”

According to the ADL, Farrakhan has alleged that Jews were responsible for the slave trade and that they conspire to control the government, the media, Hollywood, and various Black individuals and organizations. He also frequently denies that Jews have a legitimate claim to their religion and to the land of Israel claiming that Judaism is a “gutter religion” and nothing more than a “deceptive lie” and a “theological error” promoted by Jews to further their supposed control over America’s government and economy.

Farrakhan claims Israel and Jews had a role in orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, stating “Israelis had foreknowledge of the attacks” and that Jews were warned ahead of time not to come to work that day.

Muhammad said a staff member for CBC contacted him “sort of in a panic.”

“I understood what was going on,” Muhammad told Talking Points Memo. “I promised and made arrangements to give the picture to Leonard Farrakhan (the minister’s son-in-law and chief of staff.)”

Also in the picture is Farrakhan’s son-in-law Leonard Farrakhan Muhammad, his son and security chief Mustapha Farrakhan, Minister Farrakhan’s son Joshua Farrakhan, and the Reverend Willie Wilson, executive producer of the program for Farrakhan’s Million Man March in 1995, and a chairman of the 20th anniversary.

Muhammad said he gave away “the disk” from his camera but “copied the photograph from that day onto a file” on his computer.

“Realizing that I had to give it up, I mean, it was sort of like a promise to keep the photograph secret,” Muhammad said.

Republicans have long argued the media gave Obama a pass on his alleged ties to Farrakhan during his 2008 presidential run, though Obama argued he had “thoroughly denounced” Farrakhan.

Auerbach "crazies" create a New Narrative that the IDF has a new Decree against Chareidie Girls

In the last few weeks the Satmar Yiddish weekly "Loshon Hara" rags and even Yeshivishe publications have given the perception that there is a new "decree" by the IDF recruiters to draft frum Girls....
These are all lies and fabrications driven by the Auerbach terrorists.
Nothing has changed in IDF rules which exempt any girl that is frum.

The Auerbach fanatical meshegoim were upset that their leader wasn't crowned "Gado Hador" when Rav Shach passed away and instead the Yeshivishe Oilim Crowned Rav Shteinman.

So Auerbach sulked and broke away and started his own party called Hapeles.

Now that Rav Shteinman z"l passed away and the Yeshivishe oilim crowned Rav Edelstein, the Auerbach terrorists are at it again, creating false narratives and straight lies about the IDF to show that Auerbach is a force to be reckoned with ........ and so they will shortly start the riots and stop traffic again.
They also teamed up with the Satmar gypsy R' Zalman Leib of Satmar who hates other Jews that don't agree with him but has no problem taking Government funds in London even if it means signing a contract that prohibits the Satmar schools from teaching that there is a G-D that created the world!

Sefardic Rabbis Scream that Their Girls Are Being Drafted to the IDF

Sefardic Rabbis are not immune of the hypocrisy disease. 
First they don't hesitate to throw out girls from their schools if they don't tow the line, and then when these girls go "off the derech" and are drafted to the army, the Rabbis scream and yell at the government!

These Rabbis threw these Jewish girls out in the street and abandoned them like stray dogs, and now they blame the recruitment offices .......

Take care of these Jewish souls when they are still in your care and you won't have to "scream and yell" at the government!

Satmar London Signed Contract to Teach Atheism In Schools Just so they could get Govt Funds!

Satmar chastises Ger, Visnitz and Litvishe Yeshivois in Israel because they take money from the Zionist Government in Israel.

But what they won't tell you is that the school administrators of Satmar in London signed a government contract which had a stipulation that the school cannot teach that there is a G-D in heaven or any belief in Intelligent design all for money!

 Satmar hypocrisy cannot be measured .... 

Who can forget when in the Satmar Monroe Public School they removed the mezuzois so they could get government funding ....
So taking away G-D from the Satmar Curriculum is ok as long as they don't take Zionist Money.....

Protest against Satmar Public School which removed Mezuzoit to receive Govt funds.

R' Chaim Kanievsky "the Latest Chareidie Uproar against "Girls" being drafted are all a bunch of "LIES"

Kikar HaShabbos reports, that the latest uproar that the IDF is changing its policy to force frum girls to "enlist girls" is not an "actual decree," according to Rabbi Kanievsky.

 A girl  who observes Shabbas and kashrut, has no fear that the IDF exemption will be revoked. Girls that the army drafted, lied and are not really religious,"

Evidence suggests a massive scandal is brewing at the FBI

by 

MICHAEL GOODWIN

During the financial crisis, the federal government bailed out banks it declared “too big to fail.” Fearing their bankruptcy might trigger economic Armageddon, the feds propped them up with taxpayer cash.

Something similar is happening now at the FBI, with the Washington wagons circling the agency to protect it from charges of corruption. This time, the appropriate tag line is “too big to believe.”

Yet each day brings credible reports suggesting there is a massive scandal involving the top ranks of America’s premier law enforcement agency. The reports, which feature talk among agents of a “secret society” and suddenly missing text messages, point to the existence both of a cabal dedicated to defeating Donald Trump in 2016 and of a plan to let Hillary Clinton skate free in the classified email probe.

f either one is true — and I believe both probably are — it would mean FBI leaders betrayed the nation by abusing their powers in a bid to pick the president.

John Kerry Tells Abbas to Ignore Trump and "play for time" because he "wants to run for President in 2020

While the White House confirms that since the “Jerusalem Declaration” there has been a complete disconnect between the Palestinian Authority and the Trump administration, it turns out that the previous administration actually maintains contact with PA officials.

Ma’ariv reported that former US Secretary of State John Kerry met in London with a close associate of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Hussein Agha, for a long and open conversation about a variety of topics. Agha apparently reported details of the conversation to senior PA officials in Ramallah. A senior PA official confirmed to Ma’ariv that the meeting took place.

Yitzchak Bergel Who Spied For Iran Against Israel Released After Serving 4.5 Years in Prison

Meah Shearim resident Yitzchak Bergel was arrested back in 2013 on suspicion of trying to spy against Israel for Iran. The father of six, who is a member of Neturei Karta, faced a serious criminal indictment and the state wanted him imprisoned for four years while the defense was seeking a 3.5-year term. He was ultimately sentenced to a 4.5-year prison term.

Bergel was released after serving his time, allowed to return to his family this past erev Shabbos. On motzei Shabbos, he held a siyum in a local shul for all the learning he completed while imprisoned.

A serious indictment including charges of espionage was filed against Bergel in the Jerusalem District Court and he has been imprisoned since July 2013 for his actions, contacting Iranian diplomatic officials to offer his professional spy services.

Satmar Chassidim rescued from massive California hotel fire Visiting the Holy Rebbe

Dozens of Satmar hassidim were rescued by firefighters after the California hotel they were staying at went up in flames on Friday night.

The hassidim were spending Shabbat at California's Royal Hotel in Palm Springs in order to be near their Rebbe, or grand rabbi. On Friday night, the hotel was mysteriously engulfed in flames for reasons which firefighters are still investigating. While no one was hurt, many lost their belongings in the blaze.

"A fire broke out at the Royal Hotel in Palm Spring on the night of the Shabbat. The hotel was attended by nine families of Satmar Hasidim who came to be near Satmar Rebbe, and in a miracle, everyone was saved, but we did suffer property damage" tweeted Asher Wagshal, one of the hassidim at the hotel.

"Members of the local Jewish community found places for them to stay until Shabbat was over," Wagshal added.

According to CBS 2 California, the fire started at the hotel's second floor on Friday night and quickly spread to the hotel's third story. "The fire was lapping up and it extended into a room on the third floor directly above the main fire unit," recounted Palm Springs Fire Department Batallion Chief Robert Wright.

A cause has yet to be determined.

Pope Invokes "Loshon Hara Halacha" Against Victims of Sexual Abuse

So now the Pope is also into learning Hilchos Loshon Hara!

Maybe he can give some mussar talks to the oilim.
He blames the victims of sexual abuse of spreading Loshon Hara.

Pope Francis has accused victims of Chile's most notorious paedophile of slander.

He made the astonishing claim at the end of a visit meant to help heal the wounds of a sex abuse scandal that has cost the Catholic Church its credibility in the country.

On Thursday the Pope said that until he sees proof that Bishop Juan Barros was complicit in covering up sex crimes of the Reverend Fernando Karadima, accusations against Barros are 'all calumny.'

His remarks provoked outrage and shock among victims and their representatives, who noted that Karadima was sentenced by the Vatican to a lifetime of 'penance and prayer' for his crimes in 2011. 

A Chilean judge also found the victims to be credible, saying that while she had to drop criminal charges against Karadima because too much time had passed, proof of his crimes wasn't lacking.

'As if I could have taken a selfie or a photo while Karadima abused me and others and Juan Barros stood by watching it all,' tweeted Barros' most vocal accuser, Juan Carlos Cruz. 

'These people are truly crazy, and the pontiff talks about atonement to the victims.

'Nothing has changed, and his plea for forgiveness is empty.'

Karadima's victims reported to church authorities as early as 2002 that he would kiss and fondle them in the swank Santiago parish he ran.

They claimed Barros had witnessed the abuse but did nothing about it.

But officials refused to believe them and Barros denied the allegations.

It was only when the victims went public with their accusations in 2010 that the Vatican launched an investigation that led to Karadima being removed from ministry.

The emeritus archbishop of Santiago then apologised for refusing to believe the victims from the beginning.

6 Year Old Yehuda Applebaum Killed by Bus in Beit Shemesh

Tragedy struck Beit Shemesh on Thursday morning, when a 6-year-old boy and his father were struck by an Egged bus. Tragically, the boy was R”L pronounced dead on the scene.

Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah responded to the calls just before 8:30AM for struck pedestrians on Nachal Kishon Blvd. in Beit Shemesh.

Arriving emergency personnel found the child pinned under the bus.

Director of United Hatzalah Moshe Teitelbaum was among the first responders at the scene: “This was a particularly difficult scene in which a father and his son, pedestrians, were hit by a bus. Unfortunately, paramedics at the scene were forced to pronounce the child dead due to his massive injuries. United Hatzalah volunteers were able to treat the father of the child who was moderately injured.”

MDA reports that the father, in his 30s, was transported to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.

Police traffic investigators arrived on the scene to begin collecting evidence to piece together the fatal incident, but it appears that the child had apparently been crossing the street with his father.

 The Levaya was held on Thursday afternoon
