Shalva Zalfreund 64 Dies of Covid After Begging Parents of Toddlers to Respect Regulations

A kindergarten worker from the central city of Petah Tikva died of COVID-19 on Friday, two weeks after she sent a message to parents asking them to respect the regulations to stop the spread of the coronavirus, and not send sick children to the daycare.

“I am in an at-risk group [for infection]. The authorities know with certainty about families who violated isolation or did not follow the instructions to not send children [to kindergarten when they] have a family member in isolation in their home,” wrote Shalva Zalfreund, 64.

“It is true that isolation for a small child is an unpleasant experience, but it passes in two weeks and in that one moment we can be partners to really save lives and educate our children to respect others,” Zalfreund told the parents.

“For me, it no longer matters who I contracted it from and who violated isolation. I just beg and plead for the grandparents, neighbors and older relatives who surround us and do not deserve to die, even if they have underlying illnesses,” she wrote.

Zalfreund said she had been told by “qualified sources” that she had been infected at the municipal kindergarten, but it was unclear how this could be confirmed.

Petah Tikva Mayor Rami Greenfeld eulogized Zalfreund as “an amazing teacher who educated many children in the city.”

Blacks Deface DeBlassios's "BLM Mural" in Front of Trump Towers

The Black Lives Matter mural in front of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue was vandalized Saturday for the third time this week — this time by a black woman yelling, “refund the police!”

In the 3 p.m. episode, black paint was tossed on the yellow BLM mural as two officers tried to stop the woman, who wore a “Jesus Matters” T-shirt, from smearing the paint over the pavement.

“They’re liars!” the woman shouted as she kept pulling her arms away from the two cops. “They say they care about black lives, they’re saying to defund the police.”

As bystanders screamed profanities at the woman and she shouted “Refund the police!” in response, one of the officers slipped and fell in the wet paint, hurting his head and arm.The woman continued undeterred, yelling and getting on her hands and knees to keep smearing the paint.

“They don’t care! They don’t care about black people!” she yelled. “We’re killing each other left and right! Black Lives Matters — liars!”

Two women, ages 29 and 39, were taken into custody and are expected to be charged with criminal mischief, police said.

The injured officer was taken to Bellevue Hospital, police said.

The mural was also targeted for vandalism Friday afternoon.

Woman who tested positive for COVID-19 hosts 7 people for Shabbat

Is it any wonder why this will never end....
The hostess gets tested ... knowing that this might not end well ... goes ahead anyway to feed her guests with the possibility of infecting them with a deadly disease..
unless she hated them and planned this ...

Volunteers from ZAKA Tel Aviv and ZAKA Israel came to inform a 37-year-old woman during Shabbat that she had tested positive for coronavirus.

When she opened the door, the volunteers were surprised to see that not only did she not go into isolation but that she was holding a Shabbat meal with her husband and five children and had even invited seven guests to the meal.

ZAKA said that unlike in previous weeks, there was increased activity this Shabbat in locating patients in Ramat Gan. 

The work was spread in a large number of central cities, including Bnei Brak, Givat Shmuel, Or Yehuda, Petah Tikva, Kiryat Ono, Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, Police said on Saturday that 2,960 reports were distributed in the last day as part of the enforcement of the restrictions imposed on the public in the fight against the coronavirus.

According to the statement, 2,780 reports were distributed for not wearing a mask, 77 for leaving a place of residence in a restricted area and 34 reports for operating a place of business or providing a service to someone who is not wearing a mask.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar & Rabbi Lau

 It has come to our attention that the article below, based on information on the YNet website, had incorrectly reported many of the facts. The true story is also beautiful and we felt it important to share with you the facts straight from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar himself.

In an interview with ESPN, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sorts out the facts as follows:
Reporter’s Question: I have heard this amazing tale about your dad and a boy he helped liberate from a concentration camp at the end of World War II. Would you mind recounting briefly the story of Rabbi Lau and your dad?
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: That story — people have gotten that all mixed up. There was a reporter in Israel who put my father into the tank battalion that liberated Dachau.

My dad was a police officer in New York.

One of the guys that he was a police officer with was in a tank battalion that liberated Dachau. Rabbi Lau was a boy in Buchenwald, which was also liberated by black troops, but it was a totally different group than the one that my dad’s friend was in.

The group that helped liberate Buchenwald was the 183rd Combat Engineers, an all black unit.

Reporter’s Question: And that’s who you wrote the book about?

Farrakhan’s ties to politicians and celebrities run deep

It was all smiles when Louis Farrakhan strode into a weekly luncheon for the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington DC, where he had been invited to address the most powerful black lawmakers in the country.

The year was 2005, and the Nation of Islam boss was greeted by a new up-and-comer among their ranks, a senator from Illinois — Barack Obama.

“He is much better looking than I am,” Obama said, according to Askia Muhammad, a photographer who snapped an image of the future president glad-handing the divisive, anti-Semitic minister.

Muhammad — recognizing the potentially dangerous impact the photo could have on Obama’s well-known White House ambitions — kept the picture buried for 13 years before releasing the image in his book “The Autobiography of Charles 67X” in 2018.

Muhammad — a Nation of Islam member — was probably right to be worried. In his decades in public life, Farrakhan has attacked Jewish people as “satanic;” publicly questioned the Holocaust; blamed Jews for the African slave trade; condemned Judaism as a “dirty religion;” and praised Hitler as a “great man” — financed by Jews.

He has called white people “potential humans” and accused the “white right” of trying to have Obama assassinated. Nation of Islam theology holds that white people are a creation of an evil black scientist named Yakub. Gay marriage is also “satanic” and was only introduced to Africa by whites.

He also denies Osama bin Laden planned the 9/11 attacks, calling it a “false flag operation” meant to divert American attention away from President Bush “stealing” the 2000 election.

Chareidie Father in Beit Shemesh Arrested After Choking His Son To Unconsciousness On Shabbas

A 38 year-old Chareidie from Beit Shemesh is still in custody after choking his son last shabbos over a dispute about which yeshivah he would attend next zman.

The boy was still unconscious when Magan David Adom arrived. After examining the child they determined that he was choked after noticing rope marks on the child's neck.
Police were called and after searching the apartment and finding the rope, they arrested the father.

The father refused to be taken by police car to the station house because as he explained "it would be chillul shabbas."
The Zionist police ignored him and forcibly carried him to the police car. 

The father who was worried about violating shabbas, stopped talking to police under the advice of his lawyer Leah Zemel, but not before he told them that the child went berserk after their "yeshiva" discussion and to calm him down, he choked him..
I don't think that the father will be giving "parenting classes" anytime soon.

The Judge Oran Silberman, extended the "the tzaddik's" custody in jail, stating "we have a very dangerous situation here, where a father went searching for rope to choke his child and choked him until he became unconscious."

After further inquiry, DIN found out that the child is in fair condition.

No word on which Yeshiva the child will ultimately attend...

Everyone Makes Mistakes Even the Israeli Police

by Shia Getter

Yes, it was my daughter.

You saw her crying on a viral video that circulated internationally, when policemen were trying to issue her a “doch,” a ticket for holding her mask in her hand and not wearing it, as she had just sipped a slush on a hot summer’s day. That was her, hysterically attempting to call my wife and me, as her younger siblings looked on. That was my 13-year-old struggling to get her mask in place as the policemen stood around, filing an official report, and a crowd gathered around her.

Yes, my daughter was harassed by the police — something no child should ever have to go through. And, yes, we agree that policymakers and law enforcement officers need to use (a lot more) common sense and sensitivity. Indeed, we all want our kids to feel that police are there to help and protect them, and not to attack.

But that’s not what I want to focus on.

You see, despite the trauma that day, despite the incredible amount of (unwanted) attention she received, something unbelievably heartwarming came out of this. Basya, my daughter, awakened the tremendous good in people.

Since that incident on July 6, my phone has been ringing incessantly: people from around the world have been calling to express their support, love, and friendship. These are not necessarily people I’m friends with, or even acquainted with. Many are strangers who heard about what we went through and who wanted to stand with us in this time of darkness and confusion. They’re other Jews from across the spectrum of Klal Yisrael, from across the scale of religiosity, people who don’t look at me as a Boyaner chassid or as an Israeli or as someone so vastly different from them. They saw what we went through and they just wanted to express unity, achdus.

Seven Iranian Ships on Fire ..... Israel?

At least seven ships were on fire in the southern Iranian port city of Bushehr, Tasnim reported on Wednesday, adding that the cause of the fires remains unclear.

Efforts are underway to bring the fire under control, IRNA cited Jahangir Dehghani, the head of the crisis management organization for Bushehr province, as saying.

The incident follows a series of explosions which have rocked Iran in recent weeks.

An explosion occurred at an Iranian chemical plant Monday, Iranian media reported.

The blast allegedly occurred at a gas condensate plant in the Kavian Fariman industrial zone in the Razavi Khorasan Province in eastern Iran. The explosion was caused by a fire which broke out at one of the gas tanks.

Firefighters were able to put out the blaze before it spread to other tanks and caused additional explosions. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A gas explosion shook a residential building in Tehran, Iran, on Saturday, injuring one person, Iran's semi-official ISNA reported.

On Friday, IRIB reported that an explosion was heard in Western Tehran, and electricity had been cut in the area around where the explosion occurred.

Two people were killed in an explosion at a Tehran factory on July 7. An explosion caused severe damage at the Natanz nuclear facility on July 2.

In June, an explosion near a military complex in Parchin area southeast of Tehran rocked the Iranian capital. Authorities blamed that blast on "leaking gas tanks."

13 people were killed in an explosion at a medical center in Tehran on June 30. Tehran Deputy Governor Hamid Reza Goudarzi told state TV that the explosion was caused by a gas leak.

Fish with luscious human lips and teeth arouses social media

Trout with a pout?

A fish bearing a bizarre, human-like kisser and teeth has caused social media users to wonder if the luscious-lipped critter even exists.

The viral pic of the critter, which was reportedly caught in Malaysia, was uploaded July 2 by an Indonesian Twitter user with the caption “her lips are hotter than mine.”

Indeed, the photo shows the fish sporting “sultry” soup coolers that are almost identical to an Instagram star’s filler-injected pout. The resemblance is so uncanny that many Twitter users wondered if the viral pic was fake.

“So that thing real?” wondered one flabbergasted commenter.

“This mf got teeth??? Damn!!” exclaimed another about its humanoid chompers.

“Angelina Jolie is shaking,” quipped one Twitter wit in reference to the voluptuous-lipped actress. Another compared them to influencer Kylie Jenner’s supersized smackers. 

Despite looking doctored, the toothy critter may be a real, live triggerfish that inhabits tropical seas around the globe, reports National Geographic. The triggerfish uses its people-like teeth to crunch crabs and sea urchins, which they flip over to get at the soft underbelly beneath, as demonstrated in this fascinating video.

New York A Live Horror Movie... No End In Sight .... Violence... Shootings

The violence is continuing in NYC, with shootings and other attacks continuing with no end in sight, turning the city into a live horror movie.

Overnight, 6 people were shot in one incident in Crown Heights. Police say that at least two gunmen opened fire on six people in front of 1000 President Street. 4 victims were taken by EMS to the hospital, and another two victims were taken by private car. One of those victims was pronounced dead.

An additional four shootings were reported in the past 24 hours as well.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday evening, authorities found the dismembered body of a 33-year-old millionaire tech entrepreneur inside his luxury Manhattan condo. The victim was identified as Fahim Saleh.

On Wednesday morning, the NYPD found the body of a man in a plastic bag on the rooftop of a Bronx McDonald’s Restaurant.

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blames the uptick in crime on “shoplifters” looking to get food for their “hungry families”. In the past 400 shootings in NYC, not ONE was a shoplifter, or a “hungry person” looking for food for their families. They are 99% gang and drug-related incidents.

The shootings come on the heels of Socialist Mayor DeBlasio’s move of disbanding the entire NYPD Anti-Crime Unit, which is directly responsible for getting hundreds of guns off the streets each year, and preventing many shootings.

Black Lives Matter Hate Jews and Israel

Video editor Damon Rosen compiled speeches from a July 1st Black Lives Matter protest in Seattle. 

Damon told Arutz Sheva: 

"I've been aware of the links between the BLM organization and the BDS movement since their first 'delegation to Palestine' back in 2015, as well as their links to CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations and anti-Semite Linda Sarsour."

"Their outright hatred for the State of Israel, their blood libels and growing ties to the Nation of Islam were very troubling to me years ago, and things seem to be getting worse by the day."

"Since the death/murder of George Floyd I've noticed the mainstreaming and acceptance of Louis Farrakhan, the biggest anti-Semite in America, and the sick narrative that today's Jews aren't really Jews. It bothers me tremendously to see the Black community turn against the Jewish community, which was at the forefront of the civil rights movement, while embracing the people who still actually enslave them in the Arab world.

"Their hypocrisy of preaching inclusion, while demonizing Jews and Israel is astounding and troubling. I look at how Jews live in fear in France, and don't want to see the same thing happen in America," Rosen said.

Turns Out That Mary Trump Is the Crazy One..

by  ANDREA PEYSER

Mary Trump has got the wrong man.

Her glitzy, buzzy new book, released Tuesday amid a whirlwind of anger, pain and recrimination, is titled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man.’’

The titular bogeyman is, of course, her uncle, President Donald J. Trump, who’s presented here as a cross between Hannibal Lecter and Bozo the Clown — a frightening and ridiculous figure who looms titanic over every aspect of Mary’s waking and sleeping life. In 214 often bleak, raw and tear-jerking pages, she sets out to avenge the untimely death of her father, Frederick Christ Trump Jr., known as Freddy.

As she tells it, Donald’s once-handsome and vital older brother, the guy bred to run the Trump family real-estate business, died, broken and bitter, in 1981 at age 42. Mary was 16. Both were forced to watch passively, she writes, as Freddy’s dimmer and less-talented little bro not only usurped his birthright and grabbed heaps of cash from his father Fred Sr., but ran the company into the ground before, by some unjust fluke of nature, being elected leader of the free world.

Her reason for telling the tale now is simple and urgent: Mary Trump believes, with the conviction of the Hillary Clinton supporter she was, that she must prevent her uncle’s re-election — by any means necessary.

It is a family tragedy worthy of Shakespeare, and, like The Bard’s work, it is one of fiction. Because, as Mary Trump acknowledges reluctantly, Freddy Trump never wanted to work for Trump Management, and did everything in his power to escape, earning his pilot’s license, buying fishing boats and fancy cars, and attempting to live as something his grandfather sneeringly called a “chauffeur in the sky.’’

Sheldon Silver must appear in NYC courtroom for sentencing, judge rules

Sheldon Silver failed to convince a judge that the coronavirus pandemic makes it too dangerous for him to get re-sentenced in person for his $4 million bribery scheme.

Manhattan federal Judge Valerie Caproni rejected a request by the once-powerful, former Assembly speaker to appear before her by video-conference on Monday.

“The Courthouse has reopened to the public and implemented screening at entry, mask and social-distancing requirements, and sanitation protocols, among other precautions,” Caproni wrote.

“This Court is currently holding in-person proceedings where those measures are all observed. Accordingly, it is the Court’s preference to conduct Mr. Silver’s resentencing at the Courthouse.”

In a letter last month, the Manhattan Democrat’s lawyers claimed that “barring some unforeseen medical breakthrough … it is simply not safe” for Silver, 76, to show up in court because he’s “among the segment of the population most at risk to suffer severe illness and death from this virus.”

In addition, they said, he “suffers from several pre-existing conditions that greatly increase his risk,” including his “diagnosis and treatment for cancer within the past five years.”

Silver was found guilty of corruption charges in 2015 and was sentenced to seven years in prison, but was allowed to remain free while he mounted an appeal that resulted in his conviction being overturned on a technicality.

He was convicted a second time in 2018, but again remained free for another appeal that resulted in some of the counts being dismissed.

Silver — who’s collecting a $7,000-a-month pension — last month pleaded for leniency in a desperate, hand-written letter to the judge.

“Your Honor, I do not want to die in prison,” he wrote.

“This case has been going on for more than 5 years, but I feel like I have aged 15 or 20 years. My fate is in your hands.”

Pelosi Endorses Omar the Black Somalian Anti-Semite For Re-election To Minnesota Seat

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has endorsed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for re-election in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, announced Omar’s campaign on Monday.

In touting endorsements from Pelosi and Minnesota House of Representatives Speaker Melissa Hortman, Omar’s campaign said in a statement that the congresswoman “now has the support of the Democratic leaders of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Minnesota legislature, representing the support of the state and national Democratic party at the highest levels.”

Omar has perpetuated anti-Semitic tropes on Twitter and introduced a resolution in Congress that promotes boycotts of Israel, likening them to boycotts of Nazi Germany.

In February 2019, a month after being sworn in, Omar accused AIPAC of paying members of Congress to back Israel, saying it was “all about the Benjamins.”

Bari Weiss NYT Editor Called "Nazi" by Colleagues Resigns With Open Scathing Letter

New York Times opinion columnist and editor Bari Weiss announced Tuesday she is leaving the NY Times, saying she was bullied by colleagues in an “illiberal environment,” weeks after declaring there was a “civil war” inside the paper.

Weiss published a scathing resignation letter that she sent to Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger on her personal website, noting she doesn’t understand how toxic behavior is allowed inside the newsroom and “showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery.”

Before joining the Times, Bari was an op=ed editor at the Wall Street Journal and an associate book review editor there. For two years, she was a senior editor at Tablet, the online magazine of Jewish news, politics, and culture, where she edited the site’s political and news coverage.

The following is her resignation letter, which was published on her website:
