‘Make no mistake – US is embracing BDS says Former Ambassador

 

The Biden administration has ordered that any American government entity participating in scientific-technological ventures with Israeli companies located beyond the so-called Green Line end its collaboration. leading to a protest from Foreign Minister Eli Cohen.

An unnamed State Department official told Kan News that the directive “simply reflects the position of the United States over the years, which has been reaffirmed by this administration, according to which the status of the geographical areas that were under the Israeli administration after June 5, 1967 is a matter which remains subject to negotiations on their final status.”

Participating in these joint projects is thus “inconsistent with American policy,” he told Walla in a separate call.

The official added that the U.S. “greatly appreciates” the scientific and technological cooperation “with the “start-up nation,” saying that this solid cooperation will continue, the Kan report said.

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen criticized the move Sunday, telling reporters, “I object to the decision and think it is wrong.”

“In similar cases in the past, the Israeli government fully reimbursed parties damaged by such decisions,” he added.

Israel has agreements with other governments stipulating that their cooperative work would exclude companies in Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights and eastern Jerusalem. For example, the multi-year, $111 billion Horizon Europe program, in which Israeli institutions bid for EU research and development grants, has this limitation.

In 2020, during the Trump presidency, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman signed a protocol removing these restrictions from three 1970s-era cooperative agreements.

“Plainly, this geographic restriction within these three agreements was an anachronism,” Friedman said at the festive ceremony, which was held at Ariel University in Samaria. “We are righting an old wrong, and we are strengthening yet again the unbreakable bond between our two countries.”

Friedman said on Sunday that the reversal was a mistake.

The U.S. informed Israel of the change two weeks ago, according to the reports.

Girl suspended from Charedi school after celebrating Bat Mitzvah...Yoi! Her Grandfather was there? Yoi!!!!!!

 

Hadar, the Bat Mitzvah girl

Hadar, a 12-year-old student at a Charedi school in Ashkelon, was suspended after, according to the school, her Bat Mitzvah celebration violated school policy. According to Kan News, since then nearly two weeks, the school administration has not allowed her to return to class.

According to the girl's mother, the event was organized per the school's strict code, with strict kosher supervision and a female photographer, DJ, and waitresses. She says the trouble began in the middle of the event when the Hadar's friends began to leave early. "During the party, there was a commotion because the party was supposed to end at 9:30 PM. I explained the problem to the assistant principal that I already had invited people for a specific time, and I couldn't change it. The whole point of having a party for only girls is so her classmates could come."

Hadar recounted, "I was sad, I cried, I told my friends the principal wouldn't do anything, don't worry, stay. Some said, 'You're right,' they stayed, and some left."

Two days later, Hadar, a sixth grader at the Netzach Israel school in Ashkelon, received a letter notifying her that she would not return to class until her mother signed the letter admitting that she was wrong. According to the school, the party continued past the accepted time, the songs played at the event were not from the approved list, and several male relatives, including Hadar's father and grandfather, were present.

The school's principal claims that "the girl's mother keeps refusing to sign the letter she received after she violated several articles of the school's code."

The Ashkelon Municipality stated: "It was made clear to the student's mother that she can return to school, but she chose not to."

"I lost my family in a split second and that pain cannot be put into words"

Destiny's husband Corey and son Parker. 

I want you to imagine waking up one day and everything about your life is different. You no longer have the home you made years of memories in, you do not have the vehicle you worked tirelessly to get for your family, and you no longer have a reason to wake up anymore. The family you dreamt of having your entire life is gone. You are left with just yourself. Nothing more. 

On September 20, 2014, a day after my husband Corey’s 22nd birthday we loaded our 15-month-old baby, Parker, in the car on a Saturday afternoon and headed to an appointment. 

We were just miles from our destination on a rural country road when we were struck at 87 miles per hour nearly head-on. That minivan we worked so hard to get now looked like a crumpled-up soda can. 

My sweet baby who just celebrated his first birthday three months prior was now dead. The same baby I had just nursed before putting him safely in his rear-facing car seat was gone. My husband, my high school sweetheart had a fighting chance. We were both quickly flown to a hospital in a bigger nearby city where my husband later succumbed to his injuries, leaving me a childless widow at the young age of 21. 

The pain of losing my family in a split second cannot be put into words. It is a pain that never truly goes away, it is a pain that stays with you forever. You are constantly in a state of feeling homesick when you are home. It is a pain that makes you feel lonely when you are in a room full of people who love you.  

WhatsApp’s hidden contact feature revealed — here’s how to use it

 

It was playing hide and seek.

Popular messaging application WhatsApp has a hidden contact feature that’s recently been revealed — and it can prove to be super helpful, especially when trying to remember things on your to-do list.

In November 2022, the company rolled out a feature allowing you to send messages to yourself in the application on mobile devices, according to Mashable.

This means that the next time you’re trying to remember what to buy at the grocery store or attempting to jot down a confirmation code for a login, you can just send a quick note to yourself and come back to it when needed.

In order to message yourself on WhatsApp, you can simply start a new chat, and your own number should pop up at the top of your list of contacts with the option to “message yourself.”

Once you click that option, it should allow you to do just that — send messages to your own contact.

Worshippers outraged as Neo-Nazis wave swastika flags outside synagogue – and police refuse to intervene because it is ‘free speech’

 

Worshippers at a synagogue in Georgia were outraged on Saturday to find Neo-Nazis protesting outside their temple.

About a dozen members of the ‘Goyim Defense League’, a hate group which accuses Jewish people of conspiring to control the world, staged their demonstration outside the Chabad of Cobb County synagogue, in East Cobb, just north of Atlanta.

Police were called to the scene but allowed the protest to continue as Jewish members of the congregation berated the Neo-Nazis and told them leave, videos posted to social media show.

The racist group held signs declaring that ‘Every Single Aspect’ of abortion, the media, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank and elected officials is Jewish.

At the bottom of the signs was a Web address to the Goyim group’s YouTube page, with videos including a program called ‘Saturday White Live.’

Samaria Council head Yossi Dagan Demands Apology From the Shin Bet & Police Comm for their political generalization of over half a million settlers in Judea and Samaria,

 

Samaria Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan condemned the announcement by Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, and Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar regarding Jewish riots after the shooting attack at Eli Junction last week.

"I condemn this shocking all-encompassing, and unprecedented political message. I demand from the Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, and Head of the Shin Bet Ronen Bar to apologize for the political generalization of over half a million pioneer settlers in Judea and Samaria," demanded Dagan.

According to him, "Everyone knows that the group that takes the law into their own hands over and over again is a negligible minority, most of whom are not from the settlement, and even those who are are a small minority that should be taken care of by you. Yes - by you! By the system. You are supposed to solve it."

Dagan accused: "Your duty and role are to capture criminals, and that's what the public expects of you. It's your duty. However, according to the law and according to the rules in democracy - and yes, administrative arrests only against settlers in the Jewish community is discrimination, and it's not democratic."

"I call on you and even demand of you: Be professional and not political," demanded Dagan and clarified: "Your job is to fight the enemy - the real terrorism that threatens not only the residents of Judea and Samaria but the entire State of Israel. The public in Judea and Samaria and the great majority of the citizens of the State of Israel love and admire the soldiers of the IDF and the members of the security system and pray for their success - the success of our country and the security system, more than any other population, both draftees and reservists. The generalized and political announcement to the media deeply hurts the same public and the same majority of the people. Precisely because the army and the settlement are always together - the damage is twice as great."

"Those like the Chief of Staff, the Commissioner, and the head of the Shin Bet know that the handful who time and again take the law into their own hands do not represent the settlement," wrote Dagan and explained, "Because they are a minority and most of them do not live in Judea and Samaria at all. You know more than anyone how much effort the Jewish settlement leadership puts into this issue more than any other leadership - in every region and every other population group. You know best - because you are in contact with all of us. And in meetings, you speak differently than the general and political media message you issued. Instead, you chose in an indecent way to issue a message that includes and produces false and political delegitimization."

"The attempt to create an equation between the murderous terrorism of the Palestinian Authority and the vandalism of a handful of boys that you know very well does not represent anything - is a moral wrong and, above all, a lack of professionalism," he claimed.

In conclusion, Dagan wrote: "Yes. When I understand that all the groups in the State of Israel choose to discredit Israeli citizens who live in Judea and Samaria and impose administrative arrests (compared to zero indictments for the Ayalon and Kaplan protesters), yes, this is discriminatory, unacceptable, and anti-democratic. I call on you: stop and apologize."

Samaria Chief Rabbi: Anti-Arab rioters do not represent the settlers

 

Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, the Chief Rabbi of Samaria and Rosh Yeshiva of the Elon Moreh Yeshiva, published a message Sunday morning in which he addressed the recent violence in Judea and Samaria. While he supports the residents, Rabbi Levanon condemned the Jewish rioters who have damaged the property of Palestinian Arabs in the last week following the shooting attack near Eli where four civilians were murdered.

"I strengthen the hand of the residents, 'the settlers', who live in the shadow of continuous terror, and continue bravely in their daily routine, traveling on the roads despite the shootings, the Molotov cocktails, the stones and the roadblocks they encounter. I strengthen and embrace them," Rabbi Levanon began.

Turning to the anti-Arab riots which followed the deadly shooting attack in Binyamin last Tuesday, Rabbi Levanon stated that "'settlers' don't violate Shabbat and certainly do not harm the Arabs."

"I protest the haste with which the heads of the security establishment condemned the settlers, and especially the media, which was quick to blame the 'settlers,'" Rabbi Levanon declared. "If a group of lawbreakers chooses to carry out prohibited actions, both according to the Torah and all human morality, this does not mean that the heroic settlers should be tarnished with anything."

"I call on the security system and those who lead it, to come to their senses, and wage a non-stop war on the terrorism that threatens the entire country, and repeatedly harms the lives of the settlers of Judea and Samaria. Deal with the real enemies of Israel, and do not harm the lovers of the people and the land," Rabbi Levanon concluded.

How the FBI Used “Russian disinformation” to tip the 2020 election to Biden : Michael Goodwin

 

Score half a point for Donald Trump.

It turns out he was on to something with his claim the 2020 election was rigged, though not in the way he thinks. 

The dirty deed didn’t happen in offices in Arizona or Georgia, where Republicans supposedly were banished while Democrats counted duffel bags full of late-arriving votes.

Nor did Trump lose because computers were wired to rob him of victory. 

Instead, the cheating that likely denied Trump a second term was very close to home.

In fact, it was an inside job. 

The biggest American Chareidi community in Israel where no one ever decides to move back to Chutz Le'aaretrz

 

Over the last couple of decades, a new community has developed that has become the premier destination for American hareidim in Israel. The community has a reputation for its accepting and non judgemental atmosphere. Whether you are modern, baalei batish, yeshivish, Lubavitch, lakewood-type, Passaic type or Five Towns type, all are welcome and all are equal.

It is a community with a gorgeous landscape overlooking the Judean Hills- and a mere 30 minute drive from Yerushalayim. While prices have gone up significantly recently, its still cheaper than Yerushalayim. Most of its residents have surprisingly been willing to pay a hefty fee for accommodations much smaller than what they’re used to in the states.

The greatest proof of this community’s success is that it has an incredible retention rate, people who move here, generally don’t move back or away.

The community I am referring to is not Ramat Beit Shemesh, but its pretty close by. It is a place called the Eretz HaChaim Cemetery.

Good frum Jews from the diaspora have made the Eretz HaChaim cemetery the largest single community of American hareidim (and other Orthodox Jews) in Israel- larger than Ramat Eshkol, Rechavia or Beit Shemesh. The numbers speak for themselves.

The question is, what makes Eretz HaChaim such a popular choice for Americans? Why is it so much more popular than other American hareidi communities. Why is Aliyah in general so much more popular in the American hareidi community amongst the deceased than it is amongst the living?

Judges In Netanyahu Case Tell Prosecution Their Bribery Charge Has No Shot

 

The judges presiding over the criminal trial of Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu have conveyed their skepticism to prosecutors about proving the bribery charge against the premier, according to reports from Hebrew media outlets. The judges held discussions in their chambers with state prosecutors and Netanyahu’s defense team, delving into the complexities surrounding the bribery accusation in Case 4000, the most prominent of the three cases constituting the trial.

Popularly known as the Bezeq-Walla case, it revolves around allegations that Netanyahu, during his previous tenure as prime minister, authorized regulatory decisions that financially benefited Bezeq telecommunications giant shareholder Shaul Elovitch by hundreds of millions of shekels. In return, Netanyahu allegedly received favorable media coverage from Walla, a news site owned by Elovitch. The charges against Netanyahu in this case include bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.

Additionally, Netanyahu faces two counts of fraud and breach of trust in Case 1000, involving inappropriate gifts from billionaire benefactors, and Case 2000, which centers on allegations of negotiating positive media coverage in exchange for curtailing competitors.

Netanyahu staunchly denies any wrongdoing, asserting that the charges were fabricated as part of a witch hunt orchestrated by the police and state prosecution. The bribery charge in Case 4000 has always carried the most significant weight against the prime minister, and if the reports hold true, it would deal a significant blow to the prosecution’s case.

Importantly, these comments from the judges emerged after the conclusion of all witnesses presented by the prosecution in Case 4000.

WATCH: IDF Special Forces Units Eliminate Second Terrorist On the Street

 

 In a social media clip from a Palestinian source, IDF special forces can be seen leaving a car and eliminating the second terrorist from the brutal attack at the Eli gas station in which four Israelis were murdered and three others injured.

The special forces located the terrorist two hours after the murderous operation, after he had escaped in a stolen Israeli car and then taken a taxi to Tubas. Stopping the taxi, the forces eliminated the terrorist and then escaped.

‘Gimel Tamuz’ A Very Holy Day

 

Thousands of Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidim are visiting the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, obm, this week to mark his passing on Gimel Tamuz 5754 – the third day of the month of Tamuz on the Hebrew calendar. The secular date of the Rebbe’s passing was June 12, 1994.

The flood of visitors to the Rebbe’s grave in Queens, New York – known worldwide as The Ohel – is expected to be especially intense on the day of his yarzheit or hilula.

For many Hasidim around the world, Gimel Tamuz is a day for reflection, learning, prayer, strengthening one’s commitment and actively pursuing good deeds.

Commemorative events are being held in communities around the world to mark the day.

The date is also significant for several other reasons.

Gimel Tamuz is the date on which the Biblical Joshu stopped the sun in its orbit, declaring “Sun, stand still” at Givon to enable his army to continue the battle against the Amorites. (Joshua 10:12-13).

Gimel Tamuz is also the date on which the Frierdikeh Rebbe (Previous Rebbe), Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, obm, was released in 1927 from a life-threatening prison sentence imposed by Russian authorities.

But in these days, the phrase ‘Gimel Tamuz’ is remembered primarily for the devastating loss of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to the world, and the Rebbe’s directive to keep on marching.

Rabbi Adin Steinzaltz (Even-Israel), obm, explained the future of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement following the Rebbe’s passing: “You have a light, and the light guides you. And then somehow, the light is extinguished in the middle of the night at some moment. How do you feel then? On the other hand, you don’t have any permission to stop.

“The Rebbe gave an order, marching orders. And so you have to go on marching.”

In the Rebbe’s own words: “When you add one deed, one word, and one resolution for the good, besides affecting oneself he also affects his family and far wider: Maimonides rules that it impacts the entire world, placing them on the side of the righteous. This hastens the redemption with a joyful and happy heart.”

State Dept Sickos Condemn the Terrorists for Killing Jews and the IDF for Killing Terrorists

 

The home of Arab-American terrorist murderer Montasser Shalabi in Turmus Ayya was demolished by the IDF

Vedant Patel, the State Department’s Principal Deputy Spokesperson, on Wednesday, opened his press conference with this:

“So first, as we noted yesterday, we strongly condemn yesterday’s terrorist attack against Israelis near Eli in the West Bank that killed four individuals. We express our deepest condolences to the families of those killed. There is no justification for terrorism.”

Next, having condemned the terrorists, Patel condemned the Israeli civilians who protested Arab terrorism:

“There are troubling reports of extremist settler violence against Palestinian civilians, including the death of a Palestinian child and other injuries. We likewise condemn these violent acts and also extend our condolences to the families of those affected.”

Patel lied. No child was killed in the settlers’ protest in Turmus Ayya outside Ramallah in Samaria. According to Haaretz (a.k.a. al-Ard), “About 200 settlers, some of them armed, set fire to houses and cars on Wednesday in the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya in the center of the West Bank, as well as agricultural areas on the outskirts of the village. Sources in the security apparatus estimated that about 15 houses were damaged by arson and thrown stones in Turmos Ayya, and about 30 cars were set on fire.”

You may agree or disagree with Jewish protesters who, like the Black protesters in the US, express their rage at terrorist murders (remember George Floyd) with arson and destruction of property. But even Haaretz couldn’t sink low enough to accuse them of killing a child.

It reported clearly: “After the settlers left the village, clashes broke out between policemen and Palestinians, in which one of the residents was killed by a policeman.”

Don’t trust Vedant Patel, he lies.

A reporter asked Patel, “But that attack came right after an attack on the Jenin camp, where the Israelis used an Apache helicopter against civilians. Six people were killed, including a 14-year-old girl that should be dreaming about boys and schools and things like this. So, no condemnation there for an unprovoked attack that the Israelis conducted and were there for nine hours – for nine hours – using Apache helicopters, using all kinds of weapons supplied by the United States of America?”

Yes, Arab reporters also lie. The reason the IDF soldiers were forced to stay in the Jenin refugee camp for nine hours was the huge explosive charge that blew up an armored troops carrier and had to be towed under fire. The helicopter (Apache, not “Apaches”) had to be called in to defend the force that was under attack by hundreds of armed terrorists. And the girl, who should be dreaming of boys, was hit by a stray bullet inside her home – there’s no telling which side fired it.

But at least we finally understood Patel’s reference to the girl the settlers supposedly killed a day later in Turmus Ayya.

Here’s a factoid:

 Turmus Ayya was the home of Montasser Shalabi, a Palestinian-American who opened fire at civilians waiting at a bus stop at Tapuah junction in May 2021. He killed Yehuda Guetta, 19, a yeshiva student from Tamar.

Somebody should tell Vedant Patel.

1,000 new housing units to be built in Eli in response to deadly shooting attack

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich today (Wednesday) agreed on the immediate promotion of the planning of approximately 1,000 new housing units in the settlement of Eli in Binyamin, a day after terrorists murdered four civilians in a shooting attack at a gas station and restaurant just outside the community.

Gallant, Smotrich and Netanyahu said in a joint announcement by the Prime Minister's Office that "our response to terrorism is to hit it hard and build on our land."

National Missions Orit Strock (Religious Zionism party) welcomed the announcement: "1000 more Jewish families in the place where Jewish lives were cut short. Every terrorist must know that this was the Zionist price tag for murdering Jews. In the place from where they try to uproot us - there we will deepen our roots. Not instead of eliminating the terrorists, not instead of the checkpoints, and not instead of drying up the terror swamp. But absolutely, as a necessary and clear Zionist step.''

Gush Etzion Mayor and Yesha Council Chairman Shlomo Ne’eman also praised the announcement, saying: “To those who wish us harm, know that we are here to stay.”

Ne’eman added: “We thank Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Gallant and Finance Minister Smotrich for a proper Zionist answer. Terrorism will not defeat us. We will continue to live and flourish in the land of our ancestors."

Not all were happy with the government's response. Binyamin Regional Council chairman Yisrael Gantz moved his office to the scene of yesterday's attack in protest against the government's security policies. Gantz said: "We must return to an uncompromising offensive policy, enter the nests of terror and strike at the heads of the snakes there. The government should lead this policy and direct the IDF and the security system to formulate an immediate operational plan."

"The government of Israel is responsible for the security of its citizens and it is its duty to launch an attack and not wait, God forbid, for more casualties and for the terrorists to continue to strengthen. We will do our duty in establishing the settlement. We will develop a lively and happy life here in the heart of the Land of Israel," he said.

rticles:

Meanwhile, the four victims of yesterday's attack were laid to rest overnight Tuesday and Wednesday.

The victims were identified as Harel Masoud, a 21-year-old resident of Yad Binyamin; Elisha Antman, a 18-year-old resident of Eli; Ofer Fairman, a 63-year-old resident of Eli; and Nachman Shmuel Mordoff, a 15-year-old resident of Ahiya.

Hunter Biden won’t be charged with money laundering, bribery or trafficking after ‘slap on the wrist’ plea deal

 

Hunter Biden appears to have ducked other possible charges — including money laundering, bribery and human trafficking — as part of a plea agreement he entered into with federal prosecutors that is likely to result in him serving no jail time.

The president’s 53-year-old son will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his federal income taxes on at least $3 million he earned from overseas business dealings, and he will participate in a pretrial diversion arrangement for a felony firearms charge after he lied about his drug use on a gun purchasing form in 2018.

However, court filings revealing the deal make no mention of more serious charges Hunter’s laptop indicates he exposed himself to.

Nachman, Elisha, Harel & Ofer were murdered in deadly attack

 

The names of the four victims of Tuesday's terrorist shooting attack near Eli have been cleared for publication.

One victim was identified as Harel Masoud, a 21-year-old resident of Yad Binyamin. Another was named as Elisha Antman, a 17-year-old resident of Eli. A third was identified as Ofer Fairman, a 60-year-old resident of Eli. The fourth was identified as Nachman Shmuel Mordoff, a 17-year-old resident of Ahiya.

The Nahal Sorek Regional Council said in a statement: "It is with a heavy heart and great pain, we were informed at this moment that in the severe attack that took place today in the settlement of Eli, Harel Masoud, a resident of Yad Binyamin, was murdered. Harel is the son of Gil and Yael Masoud, and was only 21 years old at the time of his murder."

Council head Shai Reichner said: "There are no words to express the shock and pain we are feeling right now. I and the entire Nahal Sorek community grieve with the Masoud family for this terrible disaster, share in their unimaginable grief and embrace the family."

Yakrat Friedman, a friend of the family, called Harel a "golden child" he "loved so much. He loved the Land of Israel and its people. He had just been released from combat service and dreamed of settling this land and worked to fulfill his dream together with his friends."

The community of Eli released a statement which reads: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elisha Antman, who was murdered in today's attack, a resident of the Neve neighborhood in Eli. We share in the family's grief."

Two terrorists committed the deadly attack. The terrorists drove up to a gas station and restaurant near Eli and opened fire, killing four people. A civilian shot and neutralized one of the terrorists. The second terrorist escaped and was found and eliminated by security forces after a two-hour search.

Likud MK Danny Danon called for the launching of a major military operation to destroy terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria following the attack.

'We demand a military operation in Judea and Samaria now. Not later. Now is the time to strike hard and fast. I call on our Prime Minister to order a large-scale military operation and immediately reinstate the security barriers that were removed. The people of Israel are united and support the government, the army and our internal security services in the realization of this urgent program which will save countless innocent lives," Danon said.

4 murdered in terrorist shooting attack in Eli

 

At least four people were murdered in a terrorist shooting attack at a gas station near the city of Eli in the Binyamin region Tuesday afternoon.

The IDF stated that one or two terrorists approached the gas station in a vehicle and opened fire, moderately injuring a security guard. The terrorists then opened fire at a restaurant and shot a further five people.

An armed civilian shot and neutralized the terrorist. However, security forces have not ruled out the possibility that a second shooter escaped the scene and are conducting searches of the area.

Magen David Adom (MDA) EMTs and Paramedics are evacuating two victims in critical condition, including a 20-year-old male to Shaare Tzedek Medical Center and a 38-year-old male to Beilinson Hospital. Four further victims, including three who are unconscious, were treated at the scene.

United Hatzalah volunteer paramedics Aviah Chaim and Yoni Rosenfeld said: "Unfortunately four people were pronounced dead following resuscitation attempts that were unsuccessful. In addition, we provided initial treatment to four more people who suffered from gunshot wounds. Due to the nature of the incident, United Hatzalah's Psychotrauma and Crisis Response Unit also treated a number of people for emotional shock."

A helicopter has been dispatched to Eli.

An alarm was activated in Eli amidst concerns that a second shooter fled the scene. Residents have been advised to remain in their homes until further notice.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is being briefed on the details of the attack and receiving updates on the efforts to apprehend the attackers. Minister Gallant will hold an operational situation assessment this evening at 6 pm tonight, together with the IDF Chief of the General Staff, Director of the Shin Bet and additional senior officials in Israel’s defense establishment.

Chareidim Protesting Light Rain Now Putting their Children on the Front Lines Just Like the Arabs!

 

Army army army! The children should be taken away and put up in foster care in Dati Leumi homes and their fathers drafted into the army!

Hundreds of extremist chareidi elements demonstrated Sunday night at the light rail construction site in Bar Ilan street in Jerusalem. Some of the demonstrators rioted, set fire to infrastructure and blocked the street, causing huge traffic delays in the north of Jerusalem.

Police were forced to drag away little children who participated in blocking the road. The police later said that “tonight too protesters cynically exploited little children to participate in the rioting and disturbing the peace. Many of the rioters called the police Nazis as well.”

During the course of what has become a regular protest, the protesters started to disturb the public order, blocking roads, throwing stones at police and damaging infrastructure related to the light rail work. Police arrested one person suspected of torching a fence at the work site.

After the road was blocked for neary two hours, police succeeded in clearing the road with the help of Border Police reinforcements.

Traitor Ehud Barak Agreed to Give Up Part of Har Habayit, Old City of Jerusalem.... State Archives Reveal

 

The Barak administration agreed to give up part of Israel’s sovereignty in the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in December 2000, according to an official response to a Clinton administration proposal published for the first time by the Israel State Archives on Sunday.

Israel agreed to relinquish its sovereignty over the area of ​​the mosques on the Temple Mount, Ynet reported.

Among the comments written in Hebrew in the margins of the Clinton administration proposal: “de facto division of sovereignty on the Temple Mount.”

Israel demanded continued sovereignty over the Western Wall, the Western Wall tunnel, the Makhkame building overlooking the Temple Mount, the Siloam Tunnel (aka Hezekiah’s Tunnel), the City of David and the Mount of Olives.

Charedi man who served in IDF confronts secular woman who accused him of not serving

 

A video of the response by Hirsch to the woman’s verbal abuse has gone viral on social media and across the internet.

“Yisrael Yehonatan Hirsch, the People of Israel cherish you, embrace you and love you,” Ohana wrote in a tweet. “The antisemitism you experienced has no place in any country in the world, least of all in the national home of the Jewish People, the State of Israel.

“It is my privilege to invite you to be my guest of honor, together with your family or whomever you choose, and I hope you will accept the invitation,” Ohana added.

In the video, Hirsch – who now serves as a reservist after having fulfilled his tour of duty as an Israeli soldier — is seen responding to the heckler, who accused him of not serving in the army. In fact, not only did Hirsch serve, but so did his father before him, as confirmed by Israeli journalist and politician Yinon Magal.

“Why are you jumping to the conclusion that I didn’t serve in the army?” Hirsch asked his heckler in the video. “Because I’m wearing a yarmulka and a white shirt?”

The woman answered “yes.”

Hirsch replied, “You cannot go around judging people.”

In response, the woman complained, “You need to go to the army just like my brothers did.”

“I did go to the army, and likely for a longer time than you did,” Hirsch replied heatedly. “I am a captain in the reserves.”

Clearly surprised, the woman demanded to know why Hirsch wears a yarmulka if he served in the army.
