Jordan: King’s half-brother was part of ‘malicious plot’ threatening security

 

Jordan's King Abdullah II (left) laughs with his brother, then-crown prince Hamzah (right), on Monday, April 2, 2001, shortly before the Jordanian monarch embarked on a tour of the United States

A senior Jordanian official on Sunday accused the country’s former crown prince of conspiring with foreign elements in a “malicious plot” that threatened national security.

Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told reporters that the plot had been foiled at the “zero hour.”

“Then it was clear they moved from design and planning into action,” Safadi said. He says some 14-16 people are under arrest.

Safadi spoke a day after Prince Hamzah, a half brother of King Abdullah II, was placed under house arrest, in a rare public clash between top members of the long-ruling family.

The unprecedented incident has raised concerns about stability in a country seen as a key Western ally in a volatile region and drawn an outpouring of support for Abdullah.

In a videotaped statement from house arrest, Hamzah accused the country’s leadership of corruption and incompetence.

Safadi, who also holds the title of deputy prime minister, said intelligence agents had been observing the plotters for some time and raised their concerns with the king.

He said Hamzah was asked to “stop all these activities and movements that threaten Jordan and its stability,” but he refused.

Pastor Kicks Out Police From His Church and Like Neturei Karta Calls them "Nazis" & Gestapo"

 

This is how you handle police who enter a church without a warrant. They’re lucky they only got a tongue-lashing: s. 176 of the Criminal Code makes it a crime to disturb a church service. Those @CalgaryPolice thugs were breaking the law (and knew it). pic.twitter.com/0XhAuwv0yg

— Ezra Levant 🍁 (@ezralevant) April 4, 2021

The pastor of a church in Calgary uploaded a video of his encounter with police and other officials from the city there to ensure that the church was following COVID-19 guidelines, and the interaction went viral.

CTV News reported that Pastor Artur Pawlowski—the head of Calgary’s Street Church—was holding a service on Saturday at the Fortress (Cave) of Adullam until these officials entered the building.

Pawlowski—who filmed the encounter—addresses the officials in a stairwell outside the sanctuary.

Get out of this property immediately," he says. "I don’t want to hear anything…out immediately."

Most of the officials don’t engage Pawlowski, but an unidentified woman seems to try and explain their presence. Pawlowski was not having it.

"Out!" he yelled. "Out of this property…immediately until you come back with a warrant." The officials and officers slowly exit the building, and Pawlowski followed them outside.

"Nazis are not welcome here," he said. "And don’t come out without a warrant."

The pastor also called them "Gestapo."

Pawlowski was praised by some social media users who have been critical of lockdowns and what they see as an affront on religious worship.

Ezra Levant, the founder of Rebel News, retweeted the footage and said that Pawlowski’s response is "how you handle police who enter a church without a warrant."

"They’re lucky they only got a tongue-lashing: s. 176 of the Criminal Code makes it a  crime to disturb a church service. Those @CalgaryPolice thugs were breaking the law (and knew it)," he tweeted.

The Calgary Herald reported that Pawlowski has been fined multiple times over COVID-19 violations. The paper pointed out that churches there can hold services, but have to keep their attendances below 15% and follow guidelines like wearing masks.

The CTV News report identified the officials in the video as members of the police service, Alberta Health Services and City of Calgary Bylaw Services. 

"Our inspectors have an important job to do and we ask that business owners and organizations treat them with respect," the health service said. "We stand by all of our public health inspectors who are doing an incredible job in trying and challenging circumstances."

Police said there was concern that some in attendance "were not adhering" to the government’s guidelines. 

The CTV News report said that police are working to determine if any tickets may be issued at a future date.

Chabad Businessman Joseph Gutnick Urges Netanyahu to Step Side, Run for president

 

A prominent Australian Jewish businessman, philanthropist, and donor who funded Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s first bid for the premiership is privately urging Netanyahu to step aside as premier.

Rabbi Joseph Gutnick, an Australian-Jewish mining magnate and prominent Chabad-Lubavitch philanthropist who donated heavily to Netanyahu’s 1996 campaign, sent a text message to Netanyahu Sunday night, urging him to allow another candidate from the Right to receive the mandate to form a government.

Gutnick called on Netanyahu to run instead for the presidency, and to work to bring both the Yamina and New Hope parties into the Likud.

“Dear Bibi, please do not let the opportunity of forming a 65/66 right-wing government slip away,” Gutnick texted Netanyahu. “Act according to the wishes of the Rebbe.”

“Accept the honor of being President of Israel through which you can achieve so much. Bring Saar and Bennett into Likud and allow primaries to vote in a new PM. Do not let us down.”

In 2019, Gutnick endorsed the Yamina party, then led by Ayelet Shaked, over the Likud.

“Yamina is a right-wing party, and if you want to ensure that there will be a right-wing government, Yamina needs 13 or 14 seats,” Gutnick told The Jerusalem Post.

Gutnick warned that if Netanyahu formed a unity government with Blue and White it would destroy his “right-wing legacy”.

More Orthodox Jews Going "Off The Derech" amid COVID-19 lockdown

 

Coronavirus lockdowns have led a growing number of New York City Orthodox Jews to rethink their roles in the community — with many opting to flee to a more secular lifestyle, according to a report.

Groups that help Jews leaving Orthodox communities to make the transition report a surge in demand for their services, Agence France-Presse reported.

Some say they used their time in isolation for soul-searching, while others were turned off by the flaunting of social-distancing restrictions in their community, the report said.

“You start to think that the people you rely on and trust maybe aren’t doing it the right way,” said Yael Reisman, an official with the non-profit Footsteps, told AFP. “I think it’s bringing more people out.”

Reisman said membership in Footsteps has risen about 18 percent over the past year. 

Freidom, another group assisting former ultra-Orthodox Jews, said more than 150 people joined its ranks last year during the pandemic.

Among those is Ella, who began inching away from the ultra-Orthodox community in New York with her husband in 2019 — and finally took steps the leave during their lengthy lockdown.

“We had time to cement our new identity and feel confident that we made the right decision before having to face anybody,” she told the news outlet.

“I finally have the chance to think for myself, but I’m not exactly used to doing it,” she added. “So, I’m trying to explore what I want for my future.”

Freidom also saw a 50 percent jump in participation in its group events, which include virtual hikes and movies, founder Gene Steinberg said. 

Some New York City Orthodox have faced criticism for flaunting lockdown restrictions, including mass attendance at religious funerals and weddings.

Hatzala crash leaves nine injured, one dead: video

 

A 95-year-old woman, who was being transported in an ambulance, died and eight others were injured after a car plowed into the emergency vehicle in Brooklyn on Sunday, police and sources said. 

The elderly woman was suffering from a heart condition when the crash occurred around 3 p.m. at Avenue N and Schenectady Avenue in Flatlands, cops said. 

The woman’s son, who was also inside the ambulance at the time, was among those injured, WPIX reported. 

It wasn’t immediately clear if the woman died from the heart condition or from injuries sustained during the crash, which was captured on surveillance video. 

All other injuries related to the crash appeared to be minor, sources said.

In the footage, the sedan appears to strike the ambulance from the right.

Photos of the crash’s aftermath show the emergency vehicle turned over on its side and the Nissan Maxima lying in the distance with its entire front engine smashed in.

Southwest Airlines Anti-Goy As They Kick off a Shiksa Who wasn't Wearing Her Mask

@b_edler56

 Video posted on TikTok shows an entire plane of Southwest Airline customers applauding the removal of a woman accused of breaking federal mask rules.

In the clip posted last week, a woman can be seen a few rows ahead of the camera arguing with the flight crew about refusing to wear her mask.

“It’s better to get off,” a man mutters in the background while the woman, who is wearing a mask in the clip, hysterically denies refusing to cover her face.

“You’re saying I didn’t comply and put my mask on when you asked me to?” she asks another person, who is not visible to the camera. “Are you seriously telling them that I didn’t put my mask on when you asked me to?”

“You! Are! A liar,” she screams — but is quickly drowned out by boos and shouts of “Bye” from the passengers.

“Get off the plane” someone shouts. When the woman gets up to exit, the crowd applause. She throws them the middle finger in response before disembarking with a male companion.

“I hope you’re single, buddy!” one of the men on the plane shouts.

After the woman exits, another woman emerges from behind where the flight attendants had been standing — and does a little dance.

The video was posted five days ago by user B_elder56 with the caption #karen.

A Southwest spokesman said the airline could not provide information on the situation without knowing the date and flight number.

Judge Isaac Kantrowitz Dies Days After Sentencing For Crash That Killed Two Teens

 

The former judge who was recently sentenced for a crash that claimed the lives of two teenage boys in 2019 died just days after having his license permanently revoked.

Isaac Kantrowitz, a retired judge in Sullivan County who was charged in the June 2019 crash that took the lives of Justin Finkel, age 14, and Devin Zeninger, age 16, on June 2019, died on Thursday, April 1 at the age of 89.

Kantrowitz was sentenced on Thursday, March 25 after pleading guilty to a reckless driving charge in connection to the crash in Sullivan County in the town of Thompson.

The  89-year-old former town judge who was at the wheel in a 2019 crash that killed two teenage boys has been spared time behind bars.

Isaac Kantrowitz was fined $300, plus $88 in court fees, for reckless driving and two traffic violations, and state Supreme Court Justice Stephan Schick also permanently revoked Kantrowitz's driver's license.

He had faced potential jail time and permanently had his license revoked as part of the sentence.

According to reports, Kantrowitz fell ill shortly after his sentencing and he had been hospitalized before his death.

A graveside service was held for Kantrowitz on Friday, April 2 at Congregation Ohave Shalom in Glen Wild.

Better to form alliance with Arabs than with the Left ... R' Chaim Kanievsky

 

I don't believe that R' chaim said this, I believe his grandchild, Yanky, said it ....

but this time I agree ... with the statement.. absolutely ... 

the left must be defeated ...and when I say I agree, I mean specifically the Arab Ra'am party ..

Prominent ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky told his disciples Thursday that it is preferable to side with the Arabs rather than left-wing political parties for the purpose of safeguarding Jewish tradition.

His statement came amid the backdrop of last week's inconclusive election. In essence, Kanievsky endorsed the possibility of a right-wing religious government supported by the Arab Israeli Ra'am party.

Kanievsky explained that, unlike the Left bloc, Arab Israeli lawmakers do not aspire to "turn everyone secular," and pointed out that religious Knesset members would have an easier time cooperating with them as they share similar values when it comes to respect of religion, family, and military conscription.

The statement was publicized as Ra'am leader Mansour Abbas was addressing the Israeli public, calling for more cooperation between the Jewish and the Arab Israeli public.

There has been speculation about the accuracy of the quote, which was published by Channel 12, due to the rabbi's age, physical condition, and lack of public statements in recent years.

"The More Educated Americans Are, the More Anti-Semitic They Are"

 

Co-presidents of the 2019 Women's March Linda Sarsour, left, and Tamika Mallory, center, march along with others demonstrators on Pennsylvania Av. in Washington, Jan. 19, 2019

After being forced by Covid-19 restrictions to celebrate Passover alone last year, like their Israeli brethren, American Jews were by and large able to celebrate the Passover seder with their friends and families this year. And as in Israel, American Jewish families reveled in their deliverance from loneliness on the Jewish festival of deliverance

But even the joy of Passover couldn't dispel the twin storm clouds rising around the largest Jewish diaspora.

The first threat is growing Jew-hatred. American Jewish groups are good at fighting white supremacism. Unfortunately, the most dangerous external threat to Jewish life in America doesn't come from neo-Nazis. It comes from their home base.

Along with Hindus, Jewish Americans are the most highly educated religious group in America. American Jews have long assumed that the primary source of anti-Semitism in America is ignorance and that as education levels rise, levels of anti-Semitism would decrease. Given the prevalence of anti-Semitism on university campuses, researchers at the University of Arkansas decided to check this assumption.

Publishing their findings this week in Tablet magazine, they demonstrated just how wrong this assumption has become. Contrary to what Jewish organizations have long claimed, it turns out that the more educated Americans are, the more anti-Semitic they are.

College graduates are five percent more likely to apply anti-Semitic double standards to Jews than Americans who haven't gone to college. Holders of advanced degrees used double standards against Jews 15% more often than respondents without higher educations.

The implications are dire. Academia, American Jewry's home turf for a century and the key to their entry into the American elite – is now hostile territory.

Louis Farrakhan follower Murders Cop in Capital

Noah Green

Obama with Farrakhan

 Sources have identified the suspect in a deadly Capitol attack as Noah Green, a 25-year-old from Indiana with ties to Virginia and the Nation of Islam.

Green allegedly slammed his sedan into two police officers near the Capitol’s North Barricade, the entrance where congress members and their aides come and go.

The attack killed U.S. Capitol Police Officer William "Billy" Evans and injured another officer, who was still hospitalized Friday evening in stable condition.

Green did not appear to have a criminal record.

Sources told Fox News it appeared to be a "lone wolf" attack and that the suspect identified himself as a Nation of Islam follower on Facebook who may have recently lost his job.

A Facebook profile matching that description has been taken down by the social media giant – but Fox News reviewed a number of posts and images before that happened.

Facebook said it was working with law enforcement and had taken down the profile under its "Dangerous Individuals and Organizations" policy.

The page included photos and videos of Nation of Islam rallies, and the bio identified Green as "Follower of Farrakhan."

Hunter Biden finally admits laptop could ‘certainly’ belong to him

 

Hunter Biden has finally ‘fessed up that the laptop at the center of The Post’s explosive exposé last year “certainly” could belong to him, he revealed in an interview Friday.

In a sitdown with CBS’s “Sunday Morning,” President Biden’s embattled son was pointedly asked “yes or no” if the MacBook Pro that was dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop in April 2019 was in fact his. 

“I really don’t know what the answer is, that’s the truthful answer,” Hunter Biden said in an excerpt of the interview released on Friday, before adding, “I have no idea.”

But asked whether it could have belonged to him, he replied, “Certainly.”

“Certainly, there could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. It could be that I was hacked, it could be that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me,” he continued.

Hunter Biden made the rare media appearance while promoting his new memoir, “Beautiful Things,” out April 6 from Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

In the final months of the heated 2020 presidential race, The Post revealed a trove of emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop that raised questions about his then-candidate father’s ties to his son’s foreign business ventures, including Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas company linked to corruption.

AOC one of the least effective members of Congress

 

She’s the queen of Twitter — but less successful at lawmaking.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among the least effective members of the last Congress according to a new survey from the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking — a joint project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia.

AOC introduced a total of 21 bills which the center defined as “substantive” — but that is where the story ends. Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which takes its data from Congress.gov.

“She introduced a lot of bills, but she was not successful at having them receive any sort of action in committee or beyond committee and if they can’t get through committee they cannot pass the House,” Alan Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and co-director of the center, told The Post.

“It’s clear that she was trying to get her legislative agenda moving and engage with the lawmaking process,” Wiseman added “But she wasn’t as successful as some other members were — even among [other] freshmen — at getting people to pay attention to her legislation.”

When looking at the legislative effectiveness of all congressional Democrats, AOC was ranked 230th out of 240 Democrats. Among the 19 Dem lawmakers from New York state, she ranked dead last.

Padma Lakshmi launched her social media lecture Wednesday in an apparent nod to the Transgender Day of Visibility. “If you can’t accept your child for who they’re telling you they are, then you have no business being a parent,” she tweeted.
