Nakba in Gaza, this Time Arabs Fleeing Hamas
Thousands of north-Gaza residents are fleeing south to escape the Israeli assault on Gaza City, as instructed by the IDF. According to the IDF Spokesperson’s office, while in the past, the humanitarian corridors came under attack from Hamas who were shooting their civilians to force them to stay and serve as human shields, on Tuesday, IDF tanks are protecting the procession, taking out the Hamas threats.

LISTEN TO Candace Owens TALK About Neturei Karta and Antisemitism
Candace Owens, a black conservative with a history of sympathizing with antisemites, has done it again. Owens made multiple offensive comments and implied age-old antisemitic tropes.
At best, she displayed her sheer ignorance about basic Judaism, and at worst, she expressed heavily anti-Jewish sentiments, falsely claiming that Neturei Karta represent mainstream Charedim, Israel forces Muslims to live in ghettos, and Jews themselves are responsible for antisemitism. (VIDEOS BELOW)
Owens, who works for Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire, interviewed Jewish comedian and musician Ami Kozak. The topic, according to Owens’ own podcast description, was ‘the Israel / Palestine conflict and whether or not antisemitism is being weaponized in order to silence critics and bully people into compliance’.
As one Twitter user, who posted the videos, described: ‘Owens shows profound ignorance when speaking on the Neturei Karta. Comparing Jews against Israel to herself as a black woman on the right. She then asks Kozak if Jewish people are to blame when it comes to the uptick in antisemitism.’
Owens invoked Neturei Karta as an example that ‘Charedim’ are opposed to Israel as a Jewish state, and that the right to Israel is political but not Biblical.
Kozak replied by comparing NK to token white leftists at a BLM rally, who are used as pawns to claim that BLM represents the belief of mainstream whites.
Fetterman Plasters His Senate Office Walls With Hamas Hostage Posters
AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE STILL HAS A JEWISH HEART!
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Tuesday shared a video of his office being plastered with missing posters for each of the 200-plus hostages that were kidnapped by Hamas in Israel on Oct. 7. and said They will stay up until every single person is safely returned home.
Join our WhatsApp groupHouse Votes to Censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib Over Her Israel-Hamas Rhetoric in a Stunning Rebuke
The House voted late Tuesday to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan — the only Palestinian American in Congress — an extraordinary rebuke of her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war.
The 234-188 tally came after enough Democrats joined with Republicans to censure Tlaib, a punishment one step below expulsion from the House. The three-term congresswoman has long been a target of criticism for her views on the decades-long conflict in the Middle East.
The debate on the censure resolution on Tuesday afternoon was emotional and intense. Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia pushed the measure in response to what he called Tlaib’s promotion of antisemitic rhetoric. He said she has “levied unbelievable falsehoods about our greatest ally, Israel, and the attack on October 7.”
With other Democrats standing by her side, Tlaib defended her stance, saying she “will not be silenced and I will not let you distort my words.” She added that her criticism of the Jewish state has always been directed toward its government and its leadership under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“It is important to separate people and government,” she said. “The idea that criticizing the government of Israel is antisemitic sets a very dangerous precedent. And it’s been used to silence diverse voices speaking up for human rights across our nation.”

‘MSNBC’ host Ali Velshi’s rabid, reckless anti-Israel rant
On April 30, MSNBC host Ali Velshi delivered a lengthy rant against the Jewish state that was as dishonest as it was rabid. The monologue was riddled with false statements and exaggerations that betray Velshi’s willingness to twist the facts to fit his preferred narrative.
During the segment, Velshi claimed: “The map of the Palestinian Authority, sometimes described as Swiss cheese, has been carved up by Israel over the past century.”
The P.A. did not exist until 1994, a mere 28 years ago, so the reference to the “past century” is erroneous. Furthermore, the P.A. was created under the Oslo Accords, a mutual agreement between the State of Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. It is under these same agreements that the current map of the P.A.’s various levels of autonomy (Areas A, B and C) was agreed to via negotiations. To claim that Israel “carved up” the territory controlled by the P.A. is false.
IN BEIT SHEMESH AND OTHER CHAREIDIE NEIGHBORHOODS Ultra-Orthodox JEWS form local defense groups
The October 7th massacres in southwestern Israel carried many somber lessons – one of which was that vulnerable communities need rigorous preparation and defense strategies in place for potential terrorist attacks.
In response, 20 ultra-Orthodox communities throughout the country have started a program called Mishmar Ha’Am – The People’s Guard, to ensure protection and defense in case of sudden attacks.
This joint project of the Hareidi Institute of Public Affairs and Achim L’Oref enlists the aid of Hashomer Hachadash – a volunteer group helping to defend farms and ranches – in the training of volunteers in defense techniques with and without weapons and to assist with procuring weapons licenses for guards and trained participants.
According to program director and head of Defense Forces Patrol, Roni Ayalon Hirsch, ultra-Orthodox communities have up until now been seen as less protected and therefore, as vulnerable targets for terrorists.
In communities like Beitar Illit, there are as many as 2,000 citizens who have gun licenses but require training on how to properly use their weapons.
The program is leveraging the experience of ultra-Orthodox Israelis who have served in the armed forces and who have assisted police in the past to train volunteers in defense and to inform the public on how to react during terrorist attacks.
Uri Arbis, who set up and manages a security group in Jerusalem’s Ramat Shlomo neighborhood, told Ynet: “The vast majority want to volunteer, even those who cannot draw a weapon. We want to be independent, so that even if the police don’t come, as happened in the south, we won’t be like sheep to the slaughter. All the rabbis in the neighborhood are very supportive.”
Mishmar Ha’Am has already received an enthusiastic response and has set up centers in Jerusalem’s Har Nof and Ramat Shlomo neighborhoods, the towns of Givat Zeev, Beit Shemesh, and Rekhashim; along with ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Haifa and other cities.
It is also noteworthy that the Rebbe of the Hasidic dynasty of Viznitz has requested the establishment of the program in his Bnei Brak community.
NYC teacher indoctrinates preschoolers to hate Israel
A New York City pre-school teacher is instructing parents how to inculcate their young children with hatred of Israel and support Palestinian terrorism, The New York Post reported Saturday.
Siriana Abboud, who teaches in PS59 in midtown Manhattan, is also the founder of the online Allusio Academy, where she provides curricula, workshops and consultations on how to indoctrinate four-year-olds with the Palestinian canard that Israelis are outsiders who have stolen the Arabs’ land and are engaging in genocide.
“These teach-ins are a safe space for you and your child to learn about the Palestinian struggle for freedom,” she writes on her sign-up sheet.
Hamas had originally planned massacre for Passover
Hamas’ October 7th surprise invasion of Israel that set off the ongoing war with the terrorist organization was originally slated to take place on the first night of Passover, Maariv reported Sunday evening.
Journalist Ben Caspit wrote that it was Iran, which arms and finances the group that holds the Gaza Strip in its steel grip, that ordered the six-month delay.
The intelligence information was provided, he wrote, by Hamas terrorists taken prisoner after taking part in the murder of 1,400 Israeli civilians and soldiers on the holiday of Simchat Torah, that fell out on what Israelis are now calling the “black Sabbath.” Another 250 were taken as hostages back to the Gaza Strip.
Iran chose this secondary date specifically because it fell one day after the 50th Georgian anniversary of the start of the Yom Kippur War, October 6, 1973, the terrorists told their interrogators, according to the report.
That attack, like this one, came as a complete shock to Israel, because although government leaders of the time had received warnings that Egypt and Syria were planning to strike that day, they did almost nothing to prepare for it.
Caspit added that it was uncertain as yet how reliable the revelation is.
Bedouin Family Offers $1 M. For Info On Terrorists Who Tortured & Murdered Son
A family from the Bedouin town of Tel Sheva, near Be’er Sheva, is offering a million-dollar reward to anyone who provides information about the terrorists who murdered their family member, Kan journalist Assaf Pozailov posted on Twitter on Monday.
Osama Abu Asa was tortured by Hamas terrorists before they murdered him in his car in Rahat during the assault on Israel on October 7th. The entire scene was caught on the car’s camera.
His uncle said: “We have a blood feud with the terrorists, and as is done among Bedouins, this account will be settled, no matter how long it takes.”
JEW PEPPER-SPRAYED ON SHABBOS ON AVE N & EAST 22 IN FLATBUSH
A Shmira member was pepper-sprayed on Shabbos afternoon in Flatbush, near the intersection of Avenue N & East 22nd Street.
The volunteer was sprayed directly in his eyes, after asking a female why she was ripping down posters of hostages kidnapped by Hamas. The individual pointed a knife at the Shmira volunteer, and yelled “Allah Akbar, I will cut all you Jews up”.
The member requested backup and the suspect was quickly apprehended by additional members. NYPD officers responded and placed the female under arrest.
The suspect’s family came down as she was being arrested and began making anti-Semitic remarks toward bystanders.
The volunteer was transported to the hospital for treatment by Hatzalah.
Per Flatbush News, this man was arrested for attacking religious Jews with pepper spray in Brooklyn. He pepper sprayed multiple people who he ran up to on the street in a Jewish neighborhood. He was also seen tearing down kidnapped Israeli signs and making antisemitic remarks. pic.twitter.com/PYAkx0PKBM

Paul Kessler, a 65-year-old JEWISH MAN MURDERED BY PRO-HAMAS PROTESTOR IN LA
An elderly Jewish man was killed in Westlake Village, in the greater Los Angeles area, on Monday, after an anti-Israel protestor struck him in the head with a megaphone, the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles said in a statement.
“Our hearts are with the family of the victim,” the Federation said. “While we wait for more information from our law enforcement partners, we remind you that this is the fourth major antisemitic crime committed in Los Angeles this year alone.”
“Violence against our people has no place in civilized society,” it added. “We demand safety. We will not tolerate violence against our community. We will do everything in our power to prevent it.”
Photos and videos on social media, which blurred the face of the victim, appeared to show a man bleeding from his head lying on the ground.
Israeli media referred to the victim as “an older Jewish man” and the alleged attacker as a “young pro-Palestinian protester.”
“The injured man fell to the ground bleeding and was rushed to the hospital. His death was confirmed to have been caused due to a brain hemorrhage,” per reports. “Israelis who were present at the scene described it as ‘a terrifying sight’ and expressed shock that such an incident took place in their neighborhood.”
Police have reportedly seized the alleged attacker’s phone, on which the attack was filmed.
The LAPD referred JNS to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, which it said is handling the investigation. The sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to a JNS query.

How Prvt. Ori Megidish was rescued from Hamas captivity ...
New details were revealed this evening (Monday) by political commentator Amit Segal of the rescue of PVT. Ori Megidish last week after she had been kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7.
According to the report, the ground incursions into Gaza to combat the Hamas terrorist organization made it easier to camouflage the force that was sent to rescue Megidish.
Megidish was held in the Al-Shati refugee camp, not far from the Shifa hospital where the Hamas terrorist organization has made its headquarters.
She was rescued from a residential apartment and not from a tunnel. During the rescue operation, two terrorists were eliminated.
Megidish, a 19-year-old woman who served as an observer, was freed from Hamas captivity last week.
Samdar, Megidish's aunt, said following the rescue of her niece: "Thank you to the creator of the world, thank you to our soldiers, thank you that she is healthy and whole, thank you very much to all the people of Israel, we are very excited."
IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said that since her rescue, Megidish "has provided intelligence that we will be able to use in the future for future operations."

Unbelievable: US Made Israel promise not to distribute M16s to Judea and Samaria security squads
The Biden administration agreed to allow Israel to purchase thousands of M16 rifles from US companies - on condition that the weapons would not be distributed to community security squads in Judea and Samaria, journalist Barak Ravid reported on Axios.
Israel's government requested to urgently purchase thousands of weapons following the October 7 massacre of 1,400 Israelis. However, according to four US and Israeli officials familiar with the matter, the US agreed to the sale only on condition that the weapons not be used in Judea and Samaria, due to the US concerns that such a move would increase tensions in the area.
Axios quoted a source as naming Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) as one of the lawmakers who raised concerns about the potential diversion of arms to Judea and Samaria, and who asked that any sales not be used to fuel "extremist violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank."
The US does not usually place such conditions on weapons sales to Israel, Ravid noted.
Ravid added that the US State Department could only comment that "diplomatic consultations took place to address potential concerns on this deal."
"We received assurances from the Israelis that these rifles will only go to Israeli national police-controlled units," Jessica Lewis, the assistant secretary of state for political-military affairs, told Axios.
Last month, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan signed a deal with the IWI to purchase hundreds of "Arad" assault rifles, a modified M4 used by the elite units of the IDF.
Dozens of Hamas rockets found inside mosque
During combat operations in the Gaza Strip, IDF forces located and uncovered additional evidence of Hamas' use of civilian sites for terrorist purposes and especially for launching rockets at the State of Israel.
During activity by a team of soldiers of the 460th Brigade to locate terrorist infrastructure and clear the area, rocket launch pits found by the soldiers in a mosque were destroyed.
In addition, during several activities in the past day, the soldiers found over 50 rockets ready to be launched into Israel from inside a youth movement compound in Northern Gaza.
Earlier, it was announced that overnight, an IAF fighter jet, directed by ISA and IDF intelligence, killed the Commander of Hamas’ Deir al-Balah Battalion in the Central Camps Brigade, Wael Asefa. Asefa, together with other commanders of the Central Camps Brigade, was responsible for sending Hamas “Nukhba” terrorists into Israeli territory during the barbaric massacre on October 7th. Following the massacre, he planned additional terrorist attacks.
Wael Asefa was imprisoned between 1992-1998 for his involvement in terrorist attacks against Israeli communities and has been involved in the incitement and promotion of terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers for decades.
Soldier in elite IDF unit, who fought in Kfar Aza on October 7, asks to expedite conversion process " I want to die as a Jew."
Journalist Kobi Nachshoni on Monday morning reported in Yediot Aharonot that a soldier in an elite IDF unit turned to the military rabbinic court for conversion, asking to expedite the process which he began over ten months ago.
After fighting with his unit in Kfar Aza on October 7, the soldier and his unit were sent to northern Israel, where he turned to the rabbinic military court for conversion.
Standing in front of the court, the soldier explained, in a voice choked with tears, why he desired to expedite the process. "I really wanted to come here today and complete the conversion, because I know that I may die in battle - and if that happens, G-d forbid, I want to die as a Jew," he explained. "This is why it is important to me not to wait.
At the end of the discussion, he said, "Everything that happened in the battles came out of me at that moment. This is the first time I allowed myself to let out everything that I had bottled up inside of me since the beginning of the war. Because of everything I saw there, I understood that I need to do everything in order to complete the conversion process as quickly as possible."
On the day he appeared before the rabbinical court, the conversion process was completed.

Hysterical: Watch Lady Give the Middle Finger To Satmar Guys Protesting Israel at the Marathon
I call them Satmar, because as I pointed out many times the Neturei Karta is a branch of Satmar, having been educated in Satmar Moisdois and they consider R' Yoel Teitelbaum z'l the founder of Satmar Chassidus as their rebbe. And even though the Samar guys say that the Rebbe threw them out, that is a blatant lie, their children continued learning in Satmar and they continued davening in Satmar shuls. Its like Iran saying that they don't agree with Hamas. They are both ideologically on the same page except they use NK to do their dirty work!

Israeli satirical television show “Eretz Nehederet” took on the issue of campus antisemitism in the US in a sketch which aired on Sunday.
The sketch, titled “Welcome to Columbia Untisemity”, features two students from Columbia University who praise Hamas and claim that Israel is lying about its citizens being kidnapped in Gaza because the hostages in the photos, taken before they were taken hostage, are smiling.
They also chant “From the river to the sea! Palestine will be free!” and claim that the phrase is true because it rhymes.

Mark Levin Rightly Calls Out CNN Anchors as Self Hating Jews,, CNN Does not like this one bit and Gets White House To Join in Condemning the Truth
Fox News Radio host Mark Levin stirred up fierce reactions to his show this week when he rightly criticized CNN's Jewish anchors.
Levin spent a segment on his program, the Mark Levin Show, claiming that the network is “filled with a lot of self-hating Jews.” True!
He then went on to zero in on Wolf Blitzer, claiming that his parents “weren’t victims in one way or another, of the Holocaust,” and Jake Tapper, who he referred to as “a propagandist for the enemy.”
CNN made a statement Thursday to correct the record. Additionally, the network called for Levin's "dangerous, offensive" comments to be "universally denounced."
"Wolf is the child of Holocaust survivors and all four of his grandparents were murdered during the Holocaust, a fact that Wolf has personally reported on through a special documentary, trips to Auschwitz, written reflections, and decades of public speaking on Holocaust education and awareness," CNN said. "Mark Levin’s comments about Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper were wildly uninformed, inappropriate and shameful."
Deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates went on to issue a condemnation on behalf of the Biden administration on Friday.
“Not only is Fox News aligning with those who fan the flames of hate — Fox is paying their salaries,” the statement read. “Sadly, this is not the first time in recent months that a Fox News host made sickening remarks about the Holocaust. What’s more, it isn’t even the first time this week that a Fox host chose to abuse their platform and spread hate.”
Bates also called out Fox host Jesse Watters for "saying he’s ‘done’ with Arab Americans and Muslims.” This was the second time that Bates made a statement regarding Watters, as he issued a statement shortly after the comments were made Wednesday. The next day, Watters did not appear on The Five due to an event in California.
Levin repeated his comments in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, when he called Bates a "proven liar." Included in the post was a link to an article that quoted Bates as denying President Joe Biden ever met any Burisma executives, which was later disproved.
