BDS Going Insane because World’s Fastest-Growing Tourist Destination is Jerusalem Despite Boycott

Jerusalem boasted the world’s biggest growth in inbound tourist numbers for 2018, with international arrivals soaring 38 percent this year, nearly doubling since 2016.

The findings come from Euromonitor International, a London-based market research firm. The Holy City benefits from “relative stability and a strong marketing push,” the report said.

Making up second and third place in the rankings were two Indian cities – Chennai and Agra – which experienced 30 percent growth and 24 percent growth, respectively. Two U.S. cities – Miami and Las Vegas – helped round out the top 10.

According to the report, one of the reasons for Jerusalem’s high ranking is a marketing push by the Israeli tourism industry that included airing commercials during breaks popular television shows in the United States:

The news comes on the heels of 2017, which was a record year for Israeli tourism. Almost 3.6 million tourists visited Israel last year, itself a 25 percent increase from 2016. The majority of them were from the U.S., and 59 percent were first-time visitors.

Since January, the tourism industry is estimated to have contributed more than ₪18 billion ($4.8 billion) to the Israeli economy. According to Ministry of Tourism figures, tourists stay in Israel for an average of eight days.

This is despite the efforts of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement which has been trying unsuccessfully to isolate Israel on the world stage.

To Gideon Levy: You are spreading lies about me

Gideon Levy: Face of Pure Evil!

Dear Gideon Levy,

After the Ish-Ran family was seriously wounded, after the baby had to be delivered prematurely and later died, after the baby’s parents had to miss the funeral because they were in the hospital recovering from their wounds, you wrote that you have no sympathy for the settlers, that their tragedy is not yours. Then you added that “the settlers’ lust for revenge is never satisfied. How is it possible to identify with the grief of people who behave like that?”

You don’t have to grieve with the Ish-Rans or mourn with me or others like me or even feel anything for us. But please don’t spread lies about us. Don’t pretend that you know me. Or others like me.

Don’t tell me that because I am a settler I have a lust for revenge. Our son Koby was 13 when he was murdered by terrorists in 2001. I know it won’t matter to you that he and his friend, Yosef Ish-Ran, were in eighth grade when they cut school, went out hiking and, were met by terrorists who beat them to death with stones. Because they were Jews.

Day Yoimie Snippets ... Chullin 12, 13, 14,15, 16, 17, & 18

You can copy and print this without my consent, since Torah belongs to all of us..... 

See  previous Daf Yoimie Snippets 

"דף י''ב.."רוב מצויים אצל שחיטה מומחים הם    

Page 12 Mesectas Chullin  

"Most 'Ritual Slaughterers' Are Experts" 

The daf discusses a case where Reuvein asks Shimon the "shoichet" "please go to my chicken coup and slaughter 5 chickens." 

Approximately two hours later Reuvein goes to the chicken coup and finds 5 slaughtered chickens near the coup.

He did not see Shimon there and isn't sure whether Shimon in fact slaughtered the chickens.

Reuvein now questions whether he is allowed to eat those chickens.

We have a universal principle in reference to agents "sheluchim" that in the majority of cases, the agent for some reason does not follow thru with directives!

Therefore in most cases, one cannot rely that the agent actually followed thru with his mission ....

Nevertheless we have a novel halacha here that Reuvein is permitted to eat the chickens.

Because our rabbis instituted a principle that "most ritual slaughterers are experts in their field," therefore, even though Reuvein is not sure that his agent Shimon followed his directives to slaughter the chickens, we can assume that whoever did in fact slaughter the chickens was an expert, one who fears G-d and Reuvein can rely on whoever slaughtered the chickens that it was done according to halacha!

Trial Begins For Peleg Terrorist Arrested At Protest With Knife ... His Claim: "He needs knife to cut apples!"

A Terrorist masquerading as a Yeshiva Bochur who took part in a protest in Elad about six months ago, a protest against the arrest of terrorist bochrim who do not report to the draft, began his trial on Sunday. 

His situation became complicated, for when he was arrested, he was found to be carrying a knife. While he was released from detention for protesting, an indictment was filed against him for carrying the knife.

According to the Kikar Shabbos News report, the bochur is a talmid in Yeshivas Knesset Yechezkel in Elad and since that protest, has become engaged and hopes to be married in a month.

The family explains their son would never attack anyone including police, with the knife, which he uses to cut apples. They call on the tzibur to be mispallel for him, Shlomo Tzvi ben Leah Ita.

Posters Announcing Murder of Chareidie Soldier Vandelized in Meah Shearim on Shabbos!

The entire nation is saddened by the murder of the IDF soldiers in a terror attack last week, but the extremists animals living in Meah Shearim have no heart and no soul!

Here was a guy, Yosef Cohen HY"D that was murdered protecting these savages, and died according to all poiskim "Al Kiddush Hashem" and yet you have a bunch of parasites, who never worked a day in their lives, masquerading as frum observant Jews, tearing down posters announcing the death .... on Shabbos!!

The posters did not mention the fact that he was a soldier, being sensitive to the residents of Meah Shearim. 
And only read: 
"With deep and piercing sorrow, we announce the murder in cold blood  of my son, our dear brother and grandson, the son of Rabbi Eitan Cohen zt "l of the Bratslav Chassidus who ascended into the heavens on Kiddush Hashem on Thursday, Tevet 5769" 

The Frum Santa Claus!! Says "It's a Mitzvah"

Rick Rosenthal is a professional, year-round Santa who also attends Congregation Young Israel of Toco Hills in Atlanta

Just like any other Santa Claus, Santa Rick will spend much of the next couple of weeks sitting children on his knee, asking whether they’ve been good and listening to their Christmas wishes.

If it’s a Saturday, he may have slept overnight in the building. And he’ll only accept payment after nightfall.

For Santa Rick’s last name is Rosenthal, and he’s an Orthodox Jew who does not drive or handle money on Shabbat. But that doesn’t stop him from doing his job.

“I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t help a child,” said Rosenthal, 66, who lives in Atlanta and attends Young Israel of Toco Hills. “If you look at the world as children do, that’s a better feeling. I’m a better person and a better Jew because I’m Santa.”

Rosenthal — a full-time, professional Santa — sees no contradiction between serving as the symbol of Christmas and living as an observant Jew. To him, Santa is a nonreligious spiritual figure who provides trust, reassurance and comfort to the young and old.

He says that anyone who is inclined to criticize him for working as a Santa should consider ways they help non-Jews observe holidays — like working a shift on Christmas when Christians take the day off.

“As a Jew, we are to be a light unto the world,” Rosenthal said, paraphrasing a famous Jewish aphorism from the Bible. “That’s one of our jobs. If we can help make people’s lives better, we should do that. 

It’s a mitzvah. If we can ease tensions between Jews and non-Jews, we can do that.”

Just wondering..... Which one of the 613 mitzvois is this?

"Sola Kokosh Mar"

They now made Hungarian the language of the Jew murderers, holy!

Sleazy Vaad of Flatbush Now Says "apology" Was A Forgery!

Rabbi Goldberg head of the Vaad Haganavim denied signing the apology letter and referred to the statement as a “forgery.” He did not add any further comments. 

Flatbush Vaad Backs Down and Allows "Ladies Only" Party

City anti-discrimination law trumped religious rules in the case of a Jewish lesbian comic Brooklyn rabbis sought to bar from performing at a kosher restaurant on New Year’s Eve.

The Vaad Harabanim of Flatbush had put the kosher kibosh on Leah Forster’s gig after it decided allowing the restaurant to host it would be a violation of Jewish law.

But the Vaad changed its mind Thursday, four days after the Daily News highlighted Forster’s case on the front page.

Dumb Actress Natalie (Hershlag) Portman blasts "Jewish" Israel as 'racist' On Arab TV!

The dummy Natalie Hershlag, who now calls herself Portman, born by chance in Yerushalyim, went on an Arab TV station and blasted the Jewish State.

 Married to a goy, this utterly brainless piece of turd knows little or even less about her own People and nothing about Judaism.

She uttered these views in an interview with BBC in Arabic, i.e. she wishes her movies to be shown in Arab countries where human rights do not exist, and Jews are not allowed to live there.

She should live in Ramallah with her friends.

Father of murdered soldier reveals son's final words

Rabbi Eliyahu Merav, the father of Yossi Cohen, one of the soldiers who fell in the shooting attack at the Givat Asaf junction earlier today, spoke to Channel 10 News about his son's final words.

"Yossi was a beautiful and pure soul. He was on a mission. We sent him with great love," the bereaved father told the news station. 

"When we sat at [our last] Shabbat meal and everyone thanked us for something, Yossi said, 'I thank God that I have the right to protect the people of Israel with my body.'" Yossi was a pure soul, a devoted child who only wanted to help since he was a little boy, and G-d took him."

Two Chareidi IDF Soldiers From Nachal Chareidi Murdered

Yossi Cohen HY”D

Yuval Mor Yosef HY”D

Two Israelis were murdered and another two injured – one critically – in a Palestinian terror attack Thursday morning, just one mile from the Ofra attack earlier this week.

According to the latest information available, shots rang out from a vehicle at Givat Assaf Junction in the Binyamin Regional Council area of Shomron at about 11:15AM this morning, Thursday, 5 Teves. The gunfire was directed at Israelis standing at a hitchhiking post at the location, which is about two kilometers (1.2 miles) south of Yishuv Ofra, on Route 60, the main north/south road in Shomron.

After stopping the blue Mitsubishi, a terrorist got out and began firing at soldiers and civilians at the hitchhiking station. He then got back into the vehicle and fled the scene. A manhunt for the terrorist is underway at this time. The area remains shut down. It appears the terrorist abandoned the blue sedan near Ein Tut and entered Ramallah on foot. The IDF has sealed off Ramallah and no one is permitted to enter or leave as they are working to locate the terrorist responsible for this latest fatal attack.

Two IDF Soldiers were pronounced dead on the scene following life-saving efforts. They were in traumatic arrest as a result of their massive injuries.

The soldiers have been identified as:

Yossi Cohen HY”D from Yerushalayim. He previously lived in Bnei Brak. His father was Niftar around 5 years ago, and was the dentist of Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky.

Pinchos Kreiner, 71 Killed By Truck in Boro-Park

An elderly Jewish man was R”L struck and killed by a truck on the border between Kensington and Boro Park, Wednesday morning.

Pinchos Kreiner, 71, was crossing McDonald Avenue and Cortelyou Road at around 7:30AM when he was struck and pinned under a truck. Paramedics were unable to save his life, and he was Niftar on the scene.

Frum 18 year old Seminary Girl Ordered Off El Al Flight, Forced to Undress & Searched Without Explanation

An 18-year-old girl was left traumatized by a recent flight on El Al Israel Airlines, after she was ordered off the plane, forced to undress and searched – all without explanation.

The victim said that she arrived at Toronto Pearson airport this past Sunday afternoon and stood on line at the check-in counters. As is usual protocol with El Al, security personnel approached and asked standard security questions. Where she is coming from, who packed her luggage etc. They asked if she was flying alone or with someone else, and she replied that she was flying alone. She was asked the purpose of her trip and replied that she studies in seminary in Israel. They then asked who paid for her ticket, and she replied that she had paid for it.

The victim says she was then asked where she had money from to be able to pay for a ticket, a question she felt was irrelevant and intrusive. However, she answered that she saved up allowance money and had bought the ticket. Security then let her proceed with the check-in process. She checked in her bags and headed towards the gate.

Sefardie Rabbi Fanatics Warn French Jews To Keep Their Children In France Rather Than Have them Educated in Eretz Yisroel

Over the years since the State of Israel has been established, Sefardim by-in-large fled all their home countries and made Aliyah. They are thriving in Israel and there are more Frum Sefardim in Eretz Yisroel than ever before. 

There are Sfardishe Shuls on practically every corner in Israel....

But Sefardishi Rabbis in France are frightened that because of anti-Semitism, their constituents will either leave or worse will send their children to be educated in Israel, hoping that they will stay in Israel and not face annihilation either by assimilation or be physically attacked by the Arabs in France.

The French Rabbis will have to look for employment elsewhere.

The Rabbis asked the Sefardie Bais Din Zedek in Yerushalyim to issue a "kol korah" to warn French Jews not to send the children to  Israel, because tin Israel they may G-D forbid become Zionists and leave Judaism.

The facts are actually the opposite, French Jews are assimilating in France at an alarming rate, and their only hope is for them to make Aliyah and at least the children will marry Jews.

French Jews are ignoring the stupid letter and are making Aliyah by the thousands, in fact the price of housing in Israel is rising because of  French Jews who are buying houses like crazy ....

Yanky Kanievski On His SmartPhone

He is the grandchild of R' Chaim Kanievski and he is the one you have to deal with if you want to see the Gadol Hador. 

But ................. if you have a smartphone you cannot enter the room that R' Chaim holds court; there is a huge sign in front of the door that reads that it is "Forbidden To Enter The Room If you Own a Smartphone."

Who do you think put up the sign??????
Yup you guessed right...... R' Yanky Kanievski....

He is also the guy who is his grandfather's spokesman, and is arguably he most powerful guy in the Yeshivishe Litvisher World!

Chareidie Leaders Refuse To Condemn Appointment Of Deputy Haifa Mayor Who Supports Hamas And Hezbollah Because He "Promised $$$ To Their Moisdois"

Raja Za'atara

Chareidie Parties voted in a lady as Mayor of Haifa, and danced in front of her as if she was a kallah on the night of her inauguration. 

Even though Charediem  are b'ezem opposed to women in high office, they voted and celebrated her because she promised them $$$$$..

She has barely taken office and she appoints as her deputy an open anti-Semite, who in the past praised Hezbellah & Hamas ... ......

Now, Chareidim refuse to condemn him, after all it's not about Jewish survival ...... it's all about $$$$$$$$

Rebbe in Yeshiva Or Mordechai, brought his down syndrome son to the protest, and can be seen placing his child in between himself and police.

I'm sick to my stomach ...... How does a "Ben Torah bring his mentally challenged son to a violent protest??

A Rebbe in a Yeshivah????? What sick individual would do something like that?

Look at the photo below.... see a guy with a long beard, a guy who looks like hasn't worked a day in his life, sitting like an ape .... protesting the fact that a terrorist refuses to register for the Army.

Just a couple of days ago, this long beard shukkled like squirrel and said "Al Hannisim" that talks about a Jewish Army ....and while the oil of his latkes was dripping from his long beard sang "Maoz Tzur" that again talks about a Jewish army..

Look at the photo below and see Shidduch eligible Bochrim sitting like a bunch of raving lunatics instead of learning  Torah! 
Better Question: Why aren't they in the Army ...believe me ..a couple of days training in the IDF will knock that "sitting and learning" business right out of their heads that are covered by $375.00 Barcelona Hats!

Is this what you want your daughter to marry...?

Look at their faces carefully ..

 

Look at the photo below and see a smiling Bochur being carried away ... the little idiot does not give a thought to how many people he just inconvenienced blocking that bus??

Where is his mother??? Is this the new derech? 

If I were his father I'd slap the crap out of him!

See photo below and notice an "alter bok" sitting on his tuches....

here is a guy that never worked and has no intention of working .... this guy will be financially supported all his life, and that will not come cheap.... looking at him I see a guy that stays away from salads....

Ezra Friedlander Poses In Front of X-Mas Tree In Trump Whitehouse He Had Begged Jews to Vote For Nadler Who Is On A Mission To Impeach Trump!

How low can human go????

I guess very low .... 

Not too long ago he begged Holocaust survivors to vote for "Fat" Nadler, who was advocating for  the Iran deal that would have handed nuclear weapons to the murderers of Iran! 

Iran vowed to wipe Israel off the map! 

Nadler who touts his Jewish background refused to attend the ceremony in Jerusalem when Trump moved the US Embassy to Yerushalayim! 

Fat Nadler, a back-stabbing Jew is now heading the Trump Impeachment movement in step with that boring idiot Adam Schiff another Jew!

Is it any wonder that anti-Semitism has now become out of control?

Is it any wonder why a guy would mow down Jews in a Shul on Shabbos??? Nooooooooooo! Not in Germany ...... Noooooo

Here in these Unites States of America!! 

Who can forget when that skunk Ezra escorted Nadler to meet with Jewish leaders and Rabbonim so that they could convince  dumb naive Jews to vote for that rat Nadler!

Guess who they voted for???? 

Dumb Jews that haven't learned any lessons from the Holocaust voted overwhelmingly for Nadler!

Meanwhile this ugly two-timing scoundrel, Ezra the Kapo, pow wows with Trump officials at the Chanukah Party that was hosted by President Trump! 

Ezra, the empty suit, had no schooling, has no talents and makes his money fooling  his naive brothers and sisters into thinking that he is an "asken"!   

Yes! An "asken" that mingles with people that would wipe us out ... His organization represents an Arab anti-Semitic country that supports terrorism all around the world and has  ties to Hamas and Hezbollah!

What a Blood Sucker and faker..... What a fraudster??? 

If I ever hear the word "asken" again, I'll puke!!

Kidnaped Lev Tahor Children

The New York State Police in Liberty are looking for the public’s assistance in locating two missing teens from Sullivan County.

 14-year-old Yante Teller and her 12-year old brother Chaim Teller, were last seen by family early this past Shabbos morning (December 8, 2018) at their home in the town of Fallsburg.

The teens were last seen getting into a vehicle in front of the home at around 3:32AM.

The missing teens are two of the six children in a family that recently escaped from the Lev Tahor cult in Guatemala, following an intense international effort.

The children had been spending Shabbos with their family and professional therapists, along other previous Lev Tahor escapees.

The missing girl was kidnapped several weeks ago as well, but was later found and reunited with her mother.

Police report the children are not believed to be in any imminent danger, and are believed to have traveled to New York City.

Anyone with information is asked to call 845-292-6600.

Comedy Show Cancelled by Brooklyn Kosher Restaurants

The New York City Human Rights Commission filed a lawsuit against two Kosher Brooklyn Restaurants after they canceled a "Ladies Only New Year’s Eve comedy" show featuring Comedienne Leah Forster and the popular "FlatbushGirl."

"Hashagacha Rabbis" are now not only policing Kashrut Standards but are now sticking their noses into the parties taking place under their supervision.

Reb Moshe Feinstein z"l had already ruled decades ago in his Sefer Igros Moshe  that kosher caterers can cater parties even if they know for sure that there would be mixed dancing...

This show for "Ladies only" didn't have any dancing planned and from what I understand is a 100% Kosher show...

So what is the problem....????

The Kashrut of the party is not the issue ....
