Pro- Palestinian and Hamas Protestors Should know that the Neturei Karta Are NOT their friends

The movement for Palestine should not be building its bridges with Neturei Karta, whose ideology necessitates that the Palestinian state be a temporary one, no matter how willingly they may tokenize themselves

Pro-Palestinian activists should know that they and Neturei Karta do not want the same thing. For the time being, sure, their objectives align.  In the eyes of Neturei Karta, when the messiah comes – and, for them, this is not a matter of "if" – there will be no river-to-sea Palestine.

 

There will be a monarchical Jewish theocracy in the entire Land of Israel. The righteous dead will be revived, the exiled Jews will gather from the corners of the Earth and all will recognize the law of the Torah as the truth. Anti-Zionism, as they see it, is part of the commandments put before them to usher in this world to come, one that doesn't quite have room for the sovereignty of the Muslims of Sheikh Jarrah and the Christians of Bethlehem. The pro-Palestinian movement has many Jewish allies who do not see this as an endgame that the world can embrace. These include organizations that have already been involved in pro-Palestine activism, like IfNotNow and Shoresh. Of course, they may not be as identifiably Jewish at first glance as Neturei Karta, and it might necessitate interacting with people who have been to Israel or are – heaven forfend – Israelis themselves.pro-Palestinians should know that the Neturei Karta Ideology about the Messiah means that the Palestinians will be wiped out by the Jewish Messiah!

 

 

Sickos Anti-Israel protesters target NYC cancer hospital for 'complicity in genocide' as terrified Jewish resident says 'I thought I was in Germany in 1939'

 

Thousands of anti-Israel protesters descended on Manhattan to demand a cease-fire in Gaza on Monday, with some even targeting a respected hospital for cancer patients over its alleged “complicity in genocide.”

The protesters shouted “Shame!” at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center while patients received treatment on the Upper East Side before targeting a Starbucks and a McDonald’s restaurant they reportedly accused of making “meals for genocide.”

“Make sure they hear you. They’re in the window,” an organizer said on a bullhorn outside Sloan Kettering, according to footage posted on social media.

Someone in the crowd beat a drum as scores chanted: “MSK shame on you, you support genocide, too.”

The demonstrators took time during the event, advertised as a “Flood Manhattan for Gaza MLK Day march for healthcare,” to berate those at the cancer center, which is also a pediatric hospital.

“What about refusing to acknowledge an attack on Palestinian people, and especially the healthcare system, shows any form of compassion or respect for health?” one speaker said, according to National Review.

“Shame, shame, shame,” other protesters shouted in response.

Diamond prices slashed 25% as lab-grown gems rock the industry

Diamond giant De Beers slashed the price of its precious solitaires amid plunging sales as bargain-hunting fiancées increasingly opt for cheaper lab-grown gems.

Among De Beers’ larger stones, one category of mined diamonds had its price slashed by as much as 25%, according to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.

The category, called “select makeables,” include big rocks between two and four carats that can be cut into smaller polished stones used in high-quality bridal rings, the outlet reported.

The prices within this category were already slashed heavily last year, sources told Bloomberg, as these mined gems took one of the biggest hits when synthetic options gained mainstream popularity.

Across the board, De Beers’ gems were lowered 10% at its first sale of the year, which typically reflects its largest price cuts, the sources told Bloomberg, asking to remain anonymous when discussing private details.

During its two sales in 2023, the London-based diamond company allowed its customers to refuse all gems they were contracted to buy in the year as it grappled with weak demand and too much stock in the wake of the pandemic, according to Bloomberg.

However, De Beers is no longer allowing its customers to reject its stones, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

As Hamas plays sick games with hostages 100 days in, Biden whines he’s losing patience with Israel

 

One hundred days. That’s reportedly how long the world’s only Jewish state is allowed to fight for its survival against a barbaric, Iranian-backed terrorist organization before President Biden loses his patience. 

As the world Sunday marked 100 days since Hamas’ Oct. 7 mass-murder, mass-rape and hostage-taking, White House national-security spokesman John Kirby declared it was “the right time” for Israel to scale back its military operations in Gaza aimed at dismantling all Hamas terrorist infrastructure.

Hours later, an unnamed US official told Axios, “The president’s patience is running out.” 

For now, at least, Biden’s retreat is rhetorical.

The Pentagon continues to resupply the Israeli military with critical munitions to continue its war on Hamas.

But the timing of this political pullback couldn’t be worse. 

The Senate is expected to hold a vote Tuesday on a resolution Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced aimed at conditioning US military assistance to Israel.

It will be the first major test for Senate Democrats.

We are winning, despite the media failing us once again

 

It is the tiny disconnected far left elites in the media, universities, and Jewish-progressive foundations who have tremendous influence on IDF senior officials and career government staff, many of them retired failures, and want us to repeat their terrible mistakes

Senior leadership of IDF and Shabak are now “advising” the government to allow Arab Muslim workers from Judea and Samaria to work in Jewish communities throughout Israel again as well as advising the government to strengthen the Palestinian Authority.

Many Israelis are in shock, because that was the exact “expert” advice they gave about allowing Gaza workers to work in Israel and giving Hamas money, to help them out economically and prevent terror. In the end, the massacre on Oct. 7th proved that theory tragically wrong. In the end, Gazan workers acted as spies, took part in the massacre, and celebrated with the whole Gazan population as the massacre was taking place. Israelis are in shock that the defense establishment is still stuck with the flawed strategic thinking of Oct. 6th!

If you ask me, every single one of the persons holding senior IDF and intelligence positions should have been fired on Oct. 8th for dereliction of duty. Yet, they are still in their positions pushing the same failed strategy as before the Oct. 7th massacre.

Now, I want to dig a little deeper, so please follow this timeline of events…

Shocking: IDF withdraws from city due to Chareidie assaults on soldiers Modi'in Ilit

DIN: Where are our "gedoilim?" What has happened to us?? This is a direct result of Roshei Yeshiva comparing our Jews Children in Uniform as "Garbage Collectors" We are sinking into the "mem-tes" shaarei tumah". 

 The IDF has withdrawn the forces stationed in the city of Modi’in Ilit since the beginning of the war due to physical and verbal assaults by members of the "Jerusalem Faction" group within the city.

Galei Tzahal reports that following a situational assessment, the IDF has reduced the number of soldiers in the area, and changed operations to include only patrols outside the city’s perimeter.

The soldiers who were withdrawn from the city expressed disappointment and fears that any response to security incidents would be too late. Many residents of the city see the move as a surrender to extremism.

An IDF statement claimed there is no impediment to any operations in the city.

The Modi’in Ilit municipality commented that, “The IDF has prepared a plan for special defense of the city, and has drafted security forces for full defense of the city’s perimeter.”

Freed 9-year-old Hamas hostage comforts her father during interview

Journalist Piers Morgan on Monday interviewed Thomas Hand, father of nine-year-old Emily Hand who was freed from Hamas captivity after 50 days.

Hand thought Emily had been murdered by Hamas on October 7, before finding out she was alive and held hostage in Gaza.

In the interview, Morgan asked Thomas how it felt to first think his daughter was dead, before discovering she was being held captive and then how he reacted when she was finally released back to him.

Morgan also informed Thomas of Hamas’ claims that two more hostages had been killed, discovering one of them was with Emily throughout her captivity.

Emily, who was sitting next to her father throughout the interview, was seen wiping tears from her father's face throughout.

Top Hamas Officials Flee like rats from Lebanon In Wake Of Arouri’s Killing

 

A number of senior Hamas officials have fled Lebanon in the wake of the assassination of Hamas No. 2 leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut earlier this month, Kan News reported.

According to the report, the Hamas officials mainly went to Turkey and Syria.

Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad remained in Cairo following the assassination and did not return to Lebanon.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah spoke following the targeted elimination, vowing that it would not go unanswered. “We cannot be silent about it.”

Hamas Planned a Massacre For The Baba Sali’s Hillula but the Zionist Army Got In the Way

 Thousands of Israelis traveled to Netivot on Sunday to daven at the kever of the Baba Sali for the hillula.

On Sunday evening, Mako reported that Hamas had planned to kill and maim the Jews who gathered for the hillula and had prepared to launch 40 rockets at the kever. The evil plot was thwarted by the soldiers of the 646th Reserve Paratrooper Brigade who destroyed the launchers.

Brigade Commander Col. Elad Shushan told Mako: “We destroyed the launchers before they could implement their plan. They deployed dozens of launchers set with timers to launch precisely during the hillula. We carried out a raid, canceled the launch, and destroyed the launchers.”

Georgia DA Fani Willis claims 'improper' relationship accusations are based on race ...But Doesn't Deny the Affair

 

Fulton County, Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who brought charges against former President Donald Trump on election interference, claims allegations brought against her of having an "improper" romantic relationship with a prosecutor were made because they are Black.

Court documents filed earlier this month say Willis hired special prosecutor Nathan Wade, her alleged partner, to prosecute Trump and benefited financially from the relationship in the form of lavish vacations the two went on using funds his firm received for working the case.

For the first time since the allegations were made, Willis spoke on the matter at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta on Sunday.

"They only attacked one," she said. "First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’

"But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one," Willis asked.

Willis had remained mum in public on the matter, though she still has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations brought against her and Wade, who was involved in bringing an indictment against Trump for election interference.

Joyce Randolph (Trixie) iconic ‘Honeymooners’ star, dead at 99

 

Joyce Randolph (back right),

DIN: את חטאי אני מזכיר היום

I actually grew up without a TV, we didn't even have a record player, I bought a record player from the monies I received at my Bar-Mitzvah. We had a non-frum neighbor who would invite us on Motzei Shabbos to watch "The Honeymooners" It was live. This brings back some fond memories from my childhood., and so when I read that someone who I had known for decades, dies, it reminds me of my own mortality, and that no one will live forever. 

Joyce Randolph, who starred in the 1955 sitcom “The Honeymooners,” has died. She was 99.

Randolph reportedly died peacefully Saturday in her sleep in her New York City home due to the effects of old age, her son told TMZ.

According to the outlet, the last surviving member of the hit television show had been in hospice care at the time of her death and was unable to walk.

The Michigan native, who was born in 1924, got her acting start when she moved to New York City in 1950 to star in a Broadway show called “Ladies Night in a Turkish Bath” before moving into TV.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Randolph was initially tapped to star in the iconic television show after Jackie Gleason, who played Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden on the show, saw her doing a commercial for chewing gum and asked her to be a part of his variety show “Cavalcade of Stars.”

Randolph would later star in the show’s spinoff series “The Honeymooners” as Trixie Norton, alongside Art Carney as sewer worker Ed Norton and Audrey Meadows as Alice Kramden. The series ran for 39 episodes before cancellation.

“We just played ourselves,” Randolph once told The New York Times regarding the show in 2012. “Nobody told us to characterize in any way. It was learn those lines and go on.”

Despite the show’s very short run, it was announced in 2016 that “The Honeymooners” would be getting a modern-day reboot on CBS — though there have been no updates since the announcement.

In 2017, Randolph was spotted walking the red carpet of a musical version of the iconic television during a brief stint at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse.

Since news of her death broke, several social media users have taken to posting tributes to the late actress.

“It’s the end of an era,” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Another chapter of the golden age of television officially comes to a close with the passing of Joyce Randolph.”

“So long Trixie, and thank you,” a second fan posted.

“Farewell to the last star of one of the greatest and most enduring sitcoms of all time,” a third person commented.

The late actress is survived by her son, Randy, who revealed that his mother will be cremated and that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Randolph’s memory should donate to the Entertainment Community Fund.

House Speaker Mike Johnson calls to fire any federal workers who take part in planned ‘walkout’ over Gaza policy

 

Federal employees “deserve” to be fired if they participate in a planned walkout to protest President Biden’s handling of Israel’s war against Hamas, House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday.

The Louisiana Republican made the statement on X, commenting on an AL-Monitor news article that reported workers in at least 22 agencies plan to protest Biden’s policy involving Gaza by joining the work stoppage Tuesday.  

“Any government worker who walks off the job to protest U.S. support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers,” Johnson posted. “They deserve to be fired.”

Johnson vowed to work with fellow Republican, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, to “ensure that each federal agency initiates appropriate disciplinary proceedings against any person who walks out on their job.”

Prayer for the IDF- Netanel Hershtik & The Maccabeats featuring Lt. Gen Benny Gantz

 

Ben Gvir: Our Questions Make Gantz and Gallant Uncomfortable

Following a Saturday night report that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had stormed out of a war cabinet meeting when his aides were asked to leave, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir attacked Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz in an interview on the popular right-wing news panel, “The Patriots.”

Ben Gvir’s main point was that Gantz and Gallant don’t like it when fellow ministers ask them tough questions during cabinet meetings.

“I’ll put it this way,” Ben Gvir told the right-wing Channel 14 panel, “There are those who try to silence us. It’s no secret that we ask questions, myself, Miri Regev, Smotrich, too. And unfortunately, there is someone out there who wants to discourage us from asking questions.”

“Yes, I have questions,” Ben Gvir added. “I ask the Chief of Staff. I’m not slamming or arguing or confronting, but it is my duty as an elected official to ask questions.”

Ben Gvir was also referencing a recent confrontation between Minister Orit Strook and the Head of the IDF Strategy Division, Major General Eliezer Toledano, Strook inquired regarding news reports that some Air Force pilots refuse to attack targets in Gaza on consciousness grounds. Toledano rebuked the minister, telling her it was a “horrible question.” (The Left Hates Orit Strook, the Woman Who’s Been Attacking the Conceptzia Since the Expulsion)

Israel readies for possibility of pregnancies in female hostages raped by Hamas

 

The Israeli medical community, usually reluctant to consider such scenarios, has recently actively been preparing for the appalling possibility of several female hostages who were raped in captivity and subsequently become pregnant.

According to sources who spoke with Maariv, there have been comprehensive discussions in hospitals across the country about preparing for the return of Israeli hostages who have been sexually assaulted by Hamas terrorists and are currently at different stages of pregnancy.

Israeli law permits abortions, granting women the autonomy to decide their course of action. However, the state is now faced with the daunting task of addressing the enduring trauma that will affect the victims and their families for a lifetime.

9,000 Dead Terrorists: IDF Gives Detailed Stats On 100th Day Since Oct. 7

 

The IDF on Sunday provided a detailed account of statistics related to the ongoing conflict.

Among the key figures disclosed, the IDF reported that approximately 9,000 Hamas militants have been killed during the invasion of Gaza – including two out of Hamas’s five brigade-level commanders.

The IDF’s operations have also killed 19 battalion-level commanders, though this number includes commander replacements from the same battalion. In the northern region, around 170 Hezbollah and Hamas-affiliated terrorists have been killed.

The IDF has arrested 2,300 individuals who have undergone interrogation by the IDF Unit 504.

In terms of military actions, there have been a total of 30,000 IDF attacks on Gaza and approximately 750 on Hezbollah or other terrorist groups in the northern areas. Tragically, 522 IDF soldiers have lost their lives since October 7, with 188 of those killed since the start of the invasion.

2,536 total soldiers have been wounded, with 1,476 categorized as lightly wounded, 672 as moderately wounded, and 388 as seriously wounded.

The IDF also said around 9,000 rockets have crosed into Israeli airspace from Gaza, while approximately 2,000 rockets fired by Hamas did not reach Israel. Additionally, around 2,000 rockets or anti-tank missiles have crossed into Israel from Hezbollah, with around 30 originating from Syria.

The IDF’s efforts to protect civilians include conducting 79,000 direct evacuation phone calls to Palestinians who had not evacuated, as well as dropping 7.2 million leaflets, sending 13.7 million evacuation warning text messages, and delivering 15 million recorded evacuation messages.

In terms of humanitarian aid, the IDF has facilitated the transfer of 7,653 trucks carrying a total of 137,920 tons of cargo. This includes food trucks with 82,330 tons of food, shelter supplies with 16,630 tons, medical supplies with 11,510 tons, water with 17,320 tons, and miscellaneous trucks carrying 10,130 tons of supplies.

The IDF Home Front website has been visited 188 million times, and its apparatus has received 552,000 telephone calls.

Additionally, the IDF said that 1,700 rocket sirens have sounded in Israel amid the current conflict.

Jewish Doctor Targeted by Biden After Blowing Whistle on Kids’ Transgender Clinic

  Last year, a whistleblower report exposed a secret gender-change program on minors at Texas Children’s Hospital. The hospital had promised to stop the procedures but continued to perform transgender medical interventions on children as young as 11.

It turns out the whistleblower was former Texas Children’s Hospital general surgeon Dr. Eithan Haim

Following the story’s publication, Texas legislators banned all child gender-change procedures statewide, angering left-wing activists and hospital officials, who opposed any restriction on transgender medicine.

Then Dr. Haim was hit with revenge and retribution by the government. Federal agents tracked him down and identified him as the whistleblower, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari threatened him with prosecution.

On June 23,there was a loud knock from two federal agents from the Department of Health and Human Services saying he was the target of a criminal investigation.

Although he redacted all personal information and did not commit any crimes or violations, the Biden administration has placed a bull’s eye on the back of anyone who interferes with gender procedures.

Mordechai Ovadia Give Your Wife a Get

 The person pictured above, Mordechai Ovadia, has left his wife without a Get for eleven years.  He has been missing for the past nine years.  His wife has no way of contacting him.  There is a Seruv out on him, and he appears in the weekly column of the Jewish Press of those under a Seruv. 

No one should believe the most outrageous lie ever told:  “But I gave a get, it is waiting at Rabbi Gestetner.  All she has to do is go and get it.”  

Does anyone truly believe that a woman would refuse to receive a get.  The greatest of Gedolim have said that this is sheer manipulation.  

Fourteen Chashuva Rabbonim signed a Kol Koreh – including Rabbis Yaakov Ben-Haim, Rabbi Yaakov Bender, Rabbi Raymon Beyda, Rabbi Shmuel Choueka, Rabbi Raymond Harari, Rabbi Eliezer Harary, Rabbi Rachamim Harary, Rabbi David Ozeri, Rabbi Aryeh Ralbag, Rabbi Yisroel Reisman, Rabbi Shlomo Shalam, Rabbi David J. Sutton, Rabbi Shlomo Wadiche and Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh.

HIGH COURT: Women can fill “rabbi” slots on committee to select Chief Rabbi

DIN: I find it ironic that those who wouldn't even drink a glass of water with a Rabbanute Hashgacha, are all worked up over this. Just that you guys know, most of the food products recalled in Israel because of questionable kashrus are products under the Eida Hachreidis supervision, but you don't hear about it, it is kept "shaaa shtil" when the Rabbanute recalls a product they put advertisements in all the local newspapers, not to be "machshil" the oilom, but when you find out about an Eida product, you have to kasher your entire kitchen. How do I know? I shop in a very Chareidie Store that carries  Eida Hachreidis products exclusively. Just last week I wanted to buy a certain product that my wife loves, I don't see it, I ask the Chareidie cashier "are we getting this product anytime soon?" He laughs and says "Yes, when the company makes it kosher"... there were no notices, no ads, they just pulled the product off the shelves. This has happened countless times! They are worried about women in the Rabbanute while feeding their families "chazir" 

The High Court has ruled that women may serve on the committee that selects Chief Rabbis and the Chief Rabbinate Council.

According to the Times of Israel, the court ruled that the term “rabbi” applies not only to those ordained by the Orthodox Chief Rabbinate but to all individuals (including women), with knowledge of halacha comparable to the men. However the ruling does not allow women to be considered as rabbis themselves.

Under the ruling, passed by a panel of three justices with one dissenting opinion, women–whom the Rabbinate does not recognize as rabbis–may nonetheless be appointed to occupy the position of “rabbi” on the Chief Rabbi Election Assembly.

The ruling also allows women to serve on the Chief Rabbinate Council, a governing body of 10 rabbis who act as an arbitration body in all halacha and Rabbinate-related matters.

In the case of the electoral assembly, the court found, the purpose of rabbis is not to decide a matter of halacha, but to represent the religious community, as part of the decision-making process for the election of Chief Rabbi.

In his dissenting opinion, Justice David Mintz wrote that “the point of departure is that this court does not wear the hat of the Chief Rabbinate, which has the ultimate halachic authority.”

Shimon Shmueli, a lawyer and treasurer of the Bat Yam Religious Council – the office of the Chief Rabbinate in Bat Yam, slammed the decision on Twitter. He wrote: “Another aggressive intervention and distorted interpretation by the High Court of Justice. The letter of the law explicitly says, in clause 7(8), that the appointees are ‘rabbis.’ But they [the court justices] twist the lawbook whichever way they feel like.”

According to TOI:

“As per a 1980 law, the assembly is made up of two categories of representatives: “rabbis,” who are all men because the term has been treated as pertaining to the Orthodox definition that precludes women, and “public representatives,” who account for all females in the Assembly. In its petition, Bar-Ilan University’s Rackman Center argued that women should be allowed to serve in the Assembly not only in the “public representative” category — which accounts for 70 out of the 150 Assembly delegates — but also as “rabbis.”

The court concurred, saying that the roles should be open to women. It stopped short of decreeing that women be appointed as rabbis to the Assembly or the Council.”
