The Real Reason Pompeo Came to Israel During The Coroan Virus?

By Carolyn Glick

On Sunday, Saudi journalist Abdelhameed al-Ghoban gave an interview to the BBC in Arabic. His remarks, which were translated by MEMRI, were devoid of nuance.

"Today, the public is informed. There is a deluge [of opinions] against the Palestinian cause. It is no longer just public support for normalization and building ties with Israel. [Our] public has turned against the Palestinians in general. Unfortunately, the Palestinians have lost. The Palestinians have not contributed anything. We can say that they are emotional people whose behavior is governed by their feelings."

Al-Ghoban added, "It is in our strategic interest, and in keeping with our future economic interests, to maintain real relations with Israel. Israel is an advanced country and we can benefit from it."

Al-Ghoban's remarks are not a lone voice in the wilderness. During the Ramadan Muslim holy month, Saudi television networks broadcast two series that portray Jews and Israelis in a positive light.

Palestinian leaders are beside themselves at what they view as pan-Arab abandonment. In remarks to Israel Hayom this week, a senior Palestinian official bitterly referred to the mild criticisms of US President Donald Trump's peace plan and of Israel's plan to apply its sovereignty to its communities in Judea and Samaria and to the Jordan Valley as no more than "lip service."

Israeli leftist groups are hanging their hopes for torpedoing Israel's sovereignty plans on the European Union. France's plan, supported by Luxemburg, Belgium and Ireland to impose EU sanctions on Israel in the event it implements its sovereignty plan was widely reported this week.

But like the Palestinians, Israeli leftists are likely to be disappointed. EU rules require all decisions to be made by consensus. And there is no consensus on sanctioning Israel.

Kosher wine sold in a can for the first time

Bartenura Moscato is the super sweet, bubbly kosher wine beloved by Upper West Side Jews and hip hop stars alike. It made splashy headlines back in 2005 when the rapper Lil’ Kim mentioned it in one of her songs.

From there, other performers (including Canadian-Jewish rapper Drake) were turned onto the drink, and some have mentioned the sweet wine in their music, too. Since then the kosher wine’s popularity has exploded.

For those who have never tasted Bartenura Moscato, it’s sweet, smooth, and only slightly bubbly, like drinking alcoholic fizzy grape juice. It may not be considered the most sophisticated wine, but who cares when it’s delicious and makes some great sangria too?

Now, the beloved sweet wine is making its appearance in can form just in time for the pandemic summer of 2020. That means it will also go down in history as the first kosher wine in a can. Sweet.

Royal Wine Corp., who produces the wine, said the cans are already available in many stores and will be available everywhere by June. It’s sold in four-packs for $15. Good thing my local wine store delivers.

Burial Site of Esther and Mordechai Set Ablaze in Iran

National Director of Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Jonathan Greenblatt announced Friday on Twitter that the tomb of Esther and Mordechai in Iran was torched.

"Disturbing reports from Iran that the tomb of Esther & Mordechai, a holy Jewish site, was set afire overnight. We hope that the authorities bring the perpetrators of this antisemitic act to justice & commit to protecting the holy sites of all religious minorities in Iran,” Greenblatt tweeted.

The Jerusalem Post is seeking to obtain the reports cited by Greenblatt in his tweet. Greenblatt has termed Iran's regime the top state-sponsor of antisemitism and Holocaust denial.

Prior to the arson of the tomb, one Twitter user named Mohammad Mahdi Akhyar threatened to destroy the holy site on May 14 in response to a tweet by the Israel's Foreign Affairs' Farsi Twitter page.

Chinese ambassador to Israel found dead in Hertzliya home

The Chinese Ambassador to Israel Du Wei was found dead in his Herzliya home on Sunday morning, a Foreign Affairs Ministry official confirmed. Police are currently in his home and investigating.

The Chinese embassy, however, said that it cannot confirm the reports as of yet.

The 58-year-old ambassador was a husband and father to a boy. His family are not in the country with him. He arrived in Israel to hold the position of ambassador in January. He had served as Chinese ambassador to Ukraine before that.

He had written an article for The Jerusalem Post a few days prior to his death about the resilience of the Chinese and Israeli people alike.

In Secret Operation, 26 Out Of 36 Israelis Rescued From Morocco After 10 Died Of COVID-19

It's a good thing they didn't wait for the Satmar Chesed organizations to help them, they would be waiting till the cows came home..

The Zionists have shown again and again what a Jewish life means to them ....

Twenty-six Israelis who have been stuck in Morocco due to coronavirus travel restrictions since March were repatriated to Israel in a complex rescue operation, landing in Israel on Thursday morning.

Sadly, the group originally included 36 Israelis but 10 died while still in Morocco from the coronavirus.

Some of the Israelis were in Morocco on business and others were tourists but all got stuck in Morocco when the government put a total lockdown on the country as soon as the coronavirus pandemic began, halting flights and forbidding travel from city to city.

The Israelis were put up in hotels in Casablanca and Marrakesh at the expense of the Morrocan government but of course, what they really wanted was to fly home, a seemingly impossible prospect not only due to the coronavirus restrictions but also by the fact that Morocco doesn’t maintain diplomatic relations with Israel.

Israeli Disinfectant Kills 100% of Viruses, ...Currently Being Used in Mikvehs in Bnei Brak.

A state-of-the-art disinfectant developed by the Israel Institute for Biological Research and distributed by Tera Novel is capable of killing 100% of bacteria, viruses, molds and some fungi, including the novel coronavirus.

“Our disinfectant works in a very different way from many others,” Tera Novel chairwoman Karen Cohen Khazon told The Jerusalem Post. “We also use hypochlorite, but in a very high [concentration] and we add some [additional ingredients] so that anywhere the disinfectant is sprayed, it becomes a very white film of gel which keeps the [material] on the surface for a while.”

To clean it off, she explained, you simply need to rinse it off with water or clean it off with a towel or paper towel.

Hazon explained that the disinfectant works well on walls, ceilings, floors, toilets, restrooms, spas, airport bathrooms, and now, mikvaot (ritual baths).

The company began a test run in Bnei Brak as part of the effort to slowly ease the coronavirus restrictions in the region by using the disinfectant in mikvaot in the ultra-Orthodox city. The pilot is seemingly a success, as the town plans on reopening mikvaot in the coming days.

Leaked Data .... China Has 640,000 Coronavirus Cases, Not 80,000

A leaked database from a Chinese military-run university suggests the country may have at least 640,000 COVID-19 cases — a figure substantially higher than Beijing’s dubious claim that it has seen just 80,000 coronavirus infections.

The virus tracker, compiled by China’s National University of Defense Technology and leaked to Foreign Policy magazine, appears to confirm fears that the nation’s Communist government is hiding the true nature of the outbreak that originated in Wuhan late last year.

According to the report, the virus tracker consists of more than 640,000 rows of cases in 230 cities ranging from early February to late April and confirms the location of each infection.

The data includes locations for hospitals, train stations, hotels, restaurants and schools and was compiled by a professor at the university that is run by China’s Central Military Commission, the report said.

China’s ruling Communist Party, which has blocked US scientists from coming to the country to study the virus, claims it has seen only 4,633 deaths and 82,929 cases as of Thursday.

These figures are considered highly untrustworthy by the international community, with the US now at 85,601 deaths and 1.4 million confirmed cases.

Suspicions that China was hiding the true scale of the outbreak were only furthered when state media last week suddenly increased the coronavirus death toll in the city of Wuhan by 50 percent.

US intelligence agencies have informed the White House that they believe China undercounted its number of infections and deaths, hindering modeling efforts and leading to calls from the international community for a probe into the origins of the outbreak in December.

Satmar Rebbe Attacks His Own Brother-In-Law The Vizhnitzer For Netanyahu Meeting: ‘How Low Can They Stoop’

The Satmar Rebbe, Rav Aharon, sharply criticized his brother-in-law the Vizhnitzer Rebbe for meeting with Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu in the prime minister’s residence. 

Rav Aharon spoke at a special Le’Chaim tish for a small number of his associates marking the Yahrzeit of rabbi Nachum of Chernobyl, one of the early Chassidic rebbes and a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov.

Rav Aharon spoke with great anguish and said:

”After months of isolation far away from the chasidim, with no public prayers, no tish, no reception of chasidim for private meetings, no sandek (holding the baby at a circumcision) honors, all due to the fear of not being in the same house with a person sick with coronavirus and being infected, after all this he went to the house of the head of the unbelievers, the person who spreads the belief in “our might and power”, the person who has no derech eretz (courtesy) and no respect for G-d? Wasn’t he afraid to sit in his house together with him where he could be infected with spiritual diseases?”

Rav Aharon added:

 “I don’t understand him. Today is the yahrzeit of our grandfather, the Magid of Chernobyl. It is well known that ‘cherna’ means black in Russian and ‘bila’ means white. One should know how to distinguish between black and white and it is forbidden to mix between them.”

DIN: 👀 "black & white????" ‘cherna’ means black in Russian and ‘bila’ means white????" .....What?????? well ok ....

The chasidim related that the rebbe was very disturbed after hearing about the meeting last night and kept saying

 “how low can they stoop, those who go to elections and participate in the government.”

Vizhnitz chasidim responded on the Bechadrei Chareidim site, stating that: 

“The Satmar rebbe must not know his brother-in-law properly, the rebbe would be willing to pay him the airfare and give him his Beis Midrash so that he can protest against him. Our rebbe is performing his method of Avodas Hashem (service of G-d) and he does not care for his honor the slightest bit, nor is he concerned what people will say.”

Alarming video shows how quickly coronavirus can spread at a restaurant

An alarming video from Japan that used a black light demonstrates how quickly the coronavirus can spread aboard a cruise ship or in a restaurant when just one person is infected.

In an experiment conducted by public broadcaster NHK in collaboration with infectious disease experts, 10 people were asked to serve themselves as usual at a buffet, according to Forbes.

Invisible fluorescent paint — visible only under a black light — was applied to the palm of one of the subjects, who was tapped as the “infected” person and coughed into his hand. The paint represented the deadly pathogen.

All the participants were allowed to enjoy the buffet for half an hour.

The diners are seen touching various utensils to grab food as they interact with each other and the “sick” individual in their midst.

At the end of the feasting, the room goes dark and ultraviolet light is emitted to show how the invisible paint spread almost everywhere, including silverware, dishes, glassware, clothes and cellphones.

Top "Menuvel" Howard Stern Tells Pres Trump and his Supporters to "Drop Dead"

SHOCK Jock Howard Stern, has been slammed after outrageously suggesting President Trump and his supporters should drink disinfectant and "drop dead".

The 66-year-old radio personality made the controversial comments on his show for Sirius XM, with one listener asking him to drop the politics.

Speaking on his show Monday, Stern raged over the President's comments about disinfectant during a coronavirus press briefing last week.

He said: "I would love it if Donald would get on TV and take an injection of Clorox and let’s see if his theory works.

“Hold a big rally, say f**** this coronavirus, with all of his followers, and let them hug each other and kiss each other and have a big rally.”

At the suggestion of sidekick, Robin Quivers, that the rally include "a big cocktail of disinfectant" Stern agreed.

He said: "Yeah...And all take disinfectant and all drop dead.”

'DROP DEAD'

At a press briefing last week, Trump sarcastically said:

 "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute."

"I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen," he said.

'DROP THE POLITICS'

However, taking to the airwaves, Stern blasted the comments, with social media users flocking to slam Stern's harsh words.

One user wrote: "No one cares what he thinks. Hasn't been relevant for years now."

Another added: "You haven't been funny in two f****** decades."

One listener tweeted to XM: "[Stern's political commentary among others is why I stopped listening to the show.

"It’s a shame. It brought me and my friends a lot of laughter and joy. I stopped listening the day he said anyone that voted for trump was a moron."

This disappointment was echoed in the show, after a caller asked the pair to drop the political comments.

Listeners said they don't tune in to hear Stern's political commentary.

However, Stern hit back: “I don’t recognize any of this as being Republican, I don’t recognize it as being anything political. I see it as insanity.

“I don’t know what is going on there, but I don’t have a good feeling.”

Crazy CNN Adds Greta Thunberg to "Expert Coronavirus Panel"

An upcoming CNN town hall on the coronavirus pandemic will feature the clueless17-year-old Greta Thunberg alongside a panel of medical experts .

The program, “Coronavirus Facts and Fears,” also includes CNN broadcaster Sanjay Gupta, 50, former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 71 and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Richard Besser, 60. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, 52, will host alongside Gupta.

However, social media watchdogs are foaming at the mouth over the choice to place a teen climate activist on a panel with public health experts.

“What place does Greta Thunberg have in this town hall?” asks Twitter rabble rouser Yashar Ali to his 618,000 followers. His rhetorical question was liked by more than 12,000 since this morning.

Her name is a top trending term on Twitter, with some 30,000 mentions on the platform in just a few hours.

In a follow-up tweet, Ali clarified his rhetorical tweet with an explanation: “I understand that but this is a panel of top health experts and administrators. A climate activist would be better suited on a different panel. She’s not a climate scientist. It’s a matter of placement.”

CNN’s social media was soon served with an onslaught of virtual eye-rolls.

“Greta Thunberg? Now, she’s a COVID expert? @CNN is a joke!” reads a top response to the network’s Wednesday announcement.

“Not picking on the kid,” said another. “Picking on a ‘news’ network for featuring a child to inform the public.”

“I remember when my thread about E. coli in Romaine lettuce went viral and trended on Twitter only to have CNN put Food Babe on the air to discuss the issue,” tweeted Dr. Eugene Gu, referring to another controversial health “expert” in the media. “Greta Thunberg on this panel is an improvement from that at least.”
