Left Redefining ‘jihad’ in an Insidious Attempt To Twist Reality

 If you had “jihadism gets a PR makeover” on your 2024 bingo card, feel free to mark it off.

Teachers who attended an “anti-Muslim bias” webinar offered by the New York City Department of Education on Feb. 20 were told the meaning of jihad was “struggle” and that it could apply to a person’s effort at self-improvement, showing a video that suggested that a “jihad” could mean always giving your “best effort,” building “friendships across the aisle” or working “to get fit.”

The video also tried to whitewash “sharia” as “personal religious or moral guidance.”

Of course, no one but ultra-lefties view “jihad” this way: Merriam-Webster’s first definition of the word is “a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty.” The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists aren’t interested in, say, shedding pounds from their own bodies but blood from nonbelievers.

When former Hamas leader Khaled Mashal called for a “global day of jihad,” on Oct. 23 following the Hamas attack on Israel, he wasn’t suggesting that Muslims worldwide slow down on the carbs and fats or look to make more friends.

“When the world, America, the West, and the Zionists see . . . that convoys of mujahideen are on their way to shed their pure blood on the land of Palestine, the battlefield will change, the balance of power will change,” he made clear.

In 1998, when Osama bin Laden signed a letter calling for “jihad” against “Jews and crusaders,” his meaning was clearly stated: “The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies — civilians and military — is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it.”

Yes, the literal translations may be “struggle.” But the left’s attempt to hide its everyday meaning an Orwellian attempt to twist reality and suit its narrative: Hamas is a group of “freedom fighters”; Jews are “white colonizers”; terrorism is “resistance.”

With educators being taught this bunk in city-run events, it’s only a matter of time before it makes it into classrooms.

This insidious spreading of propaganda has to end now 

Richard Lewis from ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Dead at 76

Richard Lewis’ famous friends are paying tribute to him after the comedian and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star died Tuesday of a heart attack. He was 76.

“His wife, Joyce Lapinsky, thanks everyone for all the love, friendship and support and asks for privacy at this time,” Lewis’ publicist, Jeff Abraham, told The Post in a statement Wednesday upon announcing the news.

Lewis’ longtime co-star and “Curb” creator, Larry David, 76, reacted to the loss in a statement to People.

“Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he’s been like a brother to me. He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that, I’ll never forgive him,” David joked.

The Post has contacted a rep for David for comment.

Cheryl Hines, who portrays David’s on-screen wife in the series, also gushed to the outlet about Lewis.

“When I was young I had the biggest crush on Richard Lewis. He was the funniest person on stage and the most handsome comedian. Then when I was cast on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ I got to work with him and it was a dream come true,” said Hines.

She continued, “Through the years I learned who Richard really was and the gifts he gave. Yes, he was the comedian I fell in love with, but he was also one of the most loving people I know. He would take time to tell the people he loved what they meant to him – especially in recent years. In between takes on ‘Curb,’ he would tell me how special I was to him and how much he loved me. I love you Richard.”

The "Shvigger" From Hell!

 A couple’s dream of the perfect wedding is in tatters after the groom’s family reportedly tried to sabotage their big day.

The relationship between Alexandra and her boyfriend was just like a fairy tale. 

The man was born into a wealthy family in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, Mexico, and his family had dreamed of him marrying a rich girl.

But Alexandra wasn’t from a rich family, leading the future in-laws to suspect she was only with the man for his money. 

Then they started doing anything they could to put a stop to the relationship. 

The second the relationship was established, the groom’s family rejected the prospect of welcoming Alexandra. 

According to a Reddit post, Alexandra was nothing short of a sweetheart. “I have heard is that she is a lovely person and wouldn’t hurt anyone,” the post read.  

But due to her lack of family money, the in-laws launched a harassment campaign against her, threatening her and trying to bribe her with a blank check to leave her boyfriend.

Determined to prove herself as anything but a “gold digger,” she ignored the constant complaints from her partner’s side of the family. 

But things took a wild turn when they announced their engagement. 

Upon hearing the news of her son’s engagement, Alexandra’s mother-in-law-to-be, Maupe, faked a heart attack, a now-viral X (formerly Twitter) thread explained.

According to the post, Maupe blamed the couple for her ill health and demanded her son “cover all of her medical costs.” 

If you thought that was bad, just wait. 

Widow of Oct 7 Hero warns Knesset panel against Shalit-type deal

 Mrs. Shlomit Kalmanson, widow of Elchanan Kalmanson HY’D, who died rescuing victims from Kibbutz Be’eri on Oct. 7, addressed the Knesset House Committee on Monday as a member of the Heroism Forum, an apolitical group of bereaved families formed in December.

“I came here today as part of the Heroism Forum to call on you to continue fighting. The fighting must continue until Hamas is vanquished. This is how we will safely bring the kidnapped home; out of power, out of strength,” she said.

A new hostage agreement is in the works. Mossad chief David Barnea returned from Paris on Saturday, and for the first time in weeks, reported progress and optimism regarding a possible agreement.

However, Mrs. Kalmanson expressed concern about repeating the mistakes of past deals. “I am also sitting here on behalf of the murdered people from the Shalit deal,” she said.

Gilad Shalit, an IDF soldier, was captured by Hamas terrorists in 2006 and held for five years before being released in a prisoner exchange in 2011, in which Israel freed 1,027 terrorists for his release.

Nazi Germany? In UC Berkeley Police forced to evacuate Jews for their Safety as Pro-Hamas Storm the event

 Leaders of the University of California, Berkeley, have denounced a protest against an event organized by Jewish students that forced police to evacuate attendees and a speaker from Israel for their safety after demonstrators broke through doors.

The incident Monday night “violated not only our rules, but also some of our most fundamental values,” Chancellor Carol Christ and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Benjamin Hermalin said in a statement to the university community.

Minutes before the event was to start, a crowd of about 200 protesters began to surround the building, Zellerbach Playhouse, Christ and Hermalin said in their statement.

“Doors were broken open and the protesters gained unauthorized entry to the building,” they said. “The event was canceled, and the building was evacuated to protect the speaker and members of the audience.”

University campuses have been a hotbed of protest activity surrounding the Israel-Hamas war, which began following Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Israel’s responding assault on Gaza has killed 29,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Berkeley’s student newspaper, The Daily Californian, reported that the event was a lecture by Ran Bar-Yoshafat, an Israeli attorney and former member of the Israeli Defense Force.

The newspaper reported that protesters changed “Long live the intifada,” “Hey hey, ho ho, the occupation has got to go” and “Killers on campus.”

The campus group Bears for Palestine had posted on social media about the event, urging students to “shut it down.” Bears is a reference to Golden Bears, the name of the university’s sports teams. There was no immediate reply to an email seeking comment from the group on the criticism of the protest.

The event had been moved to Zellerbach because it was believed to be more secure than the original location and a team of university police had been sent there. But it wasn’t possible to ensure student safety and that the event could go forward “given the size of the crowd and the threat of violence,” the statement said.

UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof told the San Francisco Chronicle that he could not substantiate reports of injuries, but he urged that any be reported to the university.

Christ and Hermalin said they respect the right to protest “as intrinsic to the values of democracy and an institution of higher education” but cannot ignore protests that interfere with the rights of others to hear and express their own perspectives.

Biden wins Michigan primary despite anti-Israel Tlaib'crap

 

President Biden easily won Michigan’s Democratic primary Tuesday night.

With almost three-fifths of the expected vote in, Biden had 81.2% support, while rivals Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) garnered 3.0% and 2.8%, respectively.

“Uncommitted” received 13.0% of the vote, far below the benchmark set in the 2008 Michigan Democratic primary, when close to 40% of the electorate opted not to back any candidate.

A fuller picture of the “uncommitted” vote would not be clear until final results came in from Wayne County — home to the largest Arab-American community in the country, based in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn.

The movement to steer clear of supporting Biden, 81, was driven by anti-Israel group “Listen to Michigan,” which aimed to show Biden he can not win a second term unless he demands the Jewish state enter a cease-fire in its war against Hamas following the Oct. 7 terror attack that killed an estimated 1,200.

Listen to Michigan set the modest goal of getting 10,000 voters to mark themselves “uncommitted” — a reference to the margin by which former President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the state in 2016.

Demon'rats failed to take the House, so they’re rewriting rules with toxic map proposal

 

Dems’ toxic map quest

The House majority ran through New York in 2022.

The red wave that pundits predicted never made its way ashore nationally, but it definitely washed over the landscape here in New York. Running as one team, we campaigned hard and flipped many House seats from Democrat to Republican in purple, suburban districts.

New Yorkers were able to cast their votes in some of the most competitive races in the country, and we ultimately decided control of the House of Representatives.

Since then, though, to New Yorkers’ significant detriment, rather than stopping the flow of illegal migrants or reducing violent crime, Democrats have been obsessing over how to violate the Constitution, rule of law and will of the people to jam through a hyperpartisan gerrymander of the state’s fair congressional district lines.

For what feels like the millionth time in two years, New Yorkers once again woke up this week wondering who their representatives in Congress are because Democrats keep trying to change the lines.

Corrupt, power-hungry politicians are playing wicked games with these maps, confusing voters and ignoring the state Constitution in the process.

The same leaders who preach to us about “protecting democracy” are fully committed to destroying democracy. They clearly have no regard for the will of voters.

Bibi Responds To Biden’s Warning: “82% Of The American Public Supports Israel”

 

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday evening responded to President Joe Biden’s warning on Monday night during an interview on NBC that the current right-wing government in Israel is causing it to lose international support.

Netanyahu said: “Since the start of the war, I have been leading a diplomatic campaign to curb pressure to end the war prematurely as well as to secure strong support for Israel.”

“We have had considerable success in this area because a Harvard-Harris poll was published today which shows that 82% of the American public supports Israel. That means that four out of five US citizens support Israel and not Hamas.”

“This gives us further strength to continue the military campaign until complete victory,” Netanyahu asserted.

See the poll here.

Biden said on Monday: “Israel has had the overwhelming support of the vast majority of nations. If it keeps this up with this incredibly conservative government they have, and [National Security Minister Itamar] Ben-Gvir and others… they’re going to lose support from around the world, and that is not in Israel’s interest.”

Gerer Chassidim Stealing the Beit Shemesh Elections ...... 6 arrested

Watch how the police pull out Gur Chassidim  who forged documents and entered the polling stations illegally

 Dramatic documentation was sent in which you can see how the Israeli police pull out a Gerer Chasid  who was posing as an observer and arrested him.

According to information in our possession, a number of Chassidim forged documents  that they are observers on behalf of the 'Derech' list, these appear at the various polling stations throughout the city, they approached the observers posted on behalf of the 'Derech' list and demanded that they go home.

Activists of 'Derech' received information about these matters and entered the various polling stations while being accompanied by police officers and pulled all the imposters out of there.

Nahmi, a Ramat Dalet resident who staffed the neighborhood polling stations as an observer on behalf of Derech List, said:

"While I was doing my job as an observer, a man came up to me presenting documents and telling me that he had been sent to replace me. I didn't realize that and so I had insisted on staying until the evening as agreed with the headquarters, but he really demanded of me to leave and spoke with confidence, which made me believe him and not suspect anything.

After a while I started to worry and contacted the people responsible and everything unfolded from there. Right now I'm here again and I won't let anyone come and steal the democratic choice that we deserve by law."

Inbar Toizer on Channel 12, said that the bribery case in the elections in Beit Shemesh - has 6 arrested from Chasidot Gur on suspicion of offering a payment of 100 to 500 shekels to those who will give them an identity card or pledge to vote for the Adat Israel list and for the candidate Moshe Abutbul for mayor.

BREAKING !! Dr. Ruth Gottesman Donates $1 billion to Albert Einstein College of Medicine so that Students will never have to pay Tuition!

 Ruth Gottesman, the chairwoman of Einstein’s Board of Trustees, has donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine was formerly owned by Yeshiva University (YU) and trained thousands of Jewish doctors.

The gift is considered the largest in history made to a medical school in  the United States.

Students will no longer have to pay tuition following the donation from the longtime professor.

The school will become permanently tuition free starting next year. Any students in their final year of medical school who already paid for the current semester will be fully reimbursed.

 

An unprecedented gift of unusual generosity. Free medical school tuition in perpetuity. Truly, the heart of America. Let's see the Jew haters try to protest this one. pic.twitter.com/oNgK4M3uKG

"The Ones "shmading" Yiddishkeit in Israel are Actually the Chassidim and the Litvakis" Father speaks from his heart!

 

So what's going on??

There are elections in Beit Shemesh for Mayor, and for City Councilmen. It's been vicious! 

Thank G-d it over tomorrow!

The three candidates for Mayor, is the present Mayor, Dr. Aliza Bloch, Moshe Abutbul the previous Mayor who lost against Aliza in the last election, and Shmuel Greenberg.

Greenberg dragged the aging Rav Landau to give him the endorsement. Rav Landau has since rescinded those endorsements after he found out that Greenberg lied to him and promised that he would not support "mamlachti" Yeshivos which teach "lemudei Chol, English, Math etc. But at same time, Greenberg promised the other Councilmen running, that he would leave the status quo! 

Abutbul dragged out his dead rabbis, who according to many commentaries don't know what is presently going on in this world. He like Greenberg, lied to his Sfardie Rabbis that he would not back "mamlachti" schools but then turned around, stabbed them in the back (the live ones, of course) and teamed up with the Local Likkud Party that is all for Mamlachti Schools. 

Dr. Aliza Bloch who also received many rabbinical endorsements, but her endorsements were exclusively from local rabbanim, says openly that she is backing Schools for all children living Beit Shemesh, be they chassidim, Litvaks, Sfardim and even Chilonim. 

Just that you know, no party can win in Beit Shemesh if they are officially against "mamlachti" schools! 

So what's the issue????

A new party called "Derech" popped up founded by a Chassidishe guy named Moti Leitner. 

Leitner is the 3rd from the left

This party targets the English speakers and the olim. They are promising residents of Ramat Beit Shemesh that they will ensure that all be treated equally in terms of resource allocation, investments, and development, and most important they believe like Dr. Aliza Bloch that each child get an education to their unique needs, in other words they will support "mamlachti schools." 

A couple of weeks ago, a campaign by the local rabbanim who are against "mamlachti" schools (Only G-d knows why) began in full swing, winking to the extremists that they should destroy this party. 

So the extremists who have nothing to do all day, they don't learn, have no internet, no sports, no nothing, went in like "Nachshan Ben Amindav", started a campaign of intimidation and harassment by screaming at Moti Leitner's wife and children and came to his dira in Dalet where he lives, and kept this up every week threatening and humiliating them. They are also harassing his father.

The Rabbanim????? אין קול ואין עונה ...... crickets!

Meanwhile at the ranch, the local Rabbanim, some of whom speak fluent English and who studied in Yeshivos that provided secular studies, which they are now against, started talking to the Chareidie press saying that Leitner is "shmading" yiddishishe kinderlich! 

But a father is a father and as the pietan says: כרחם אב על בנים Leitner's father sent out a rant that went viral and has close to 300,00 views in which he says that it is actually the Chassidishe and Litvishe Yeshivos (he meant the rabbanim) that are "shmading' our precious kinderlach. He asks why shouldn't every single child get an education suited for him? 

You don't have to understand Hebrew to understand and feel this father's pain. 

He is saying that the radical Hebrew Newspaper "Hamevser" came out with an announcement after they found out that Abutbul lied to them and that he teamed up with Likkud ...that Shas is destroying yiddishe neshamois. The kanaim the extremist are screaming and cursing the Agudists, the Peleg are screaming at the Litvaks,. He says that all the other newspapers are each blaming the other "Daas Torah" parties stating that they are destroying yiddishkeit.. the different parties stating "Daas Torah" state you get "Gan Eden" if you vote for them and like the Christians they say that you go to Hell if you vote against them. He then tells them who are the real people "shmading" am yisrael.... 

Chassidim and the Litvaks they are destroying yiddishkeit as we know it! 

He should be working for DIN 

Hamas Soldiers Finally Open Up In Disturbing Interviews!

 

Michael Savage Slams ‘Biggest Lie of Our Time’ on Palestine, Shows Continuous Jewish Presence in Israel Since 1900 BC

 

The Jewish people have populated Israel for nearly 4,000 years, noted conservative radio legend Michael Savage, who slammed “the biggest lie of our time” that Jews have no connection to, or right to reside in, their ancient homeland.

Appearing on Newsmax TV’s Rob Schmitt Tonight, the New York Times best-selling author debunked claims from “far-left terrorist sympathizers” that the Jews are “operating on stolen land.”

Calling it a “great opportunity to set the record straight,” Savage slammed the notion that Jews arrived in Israel after 1948 and that they are essentially Europeans that “don’t belong there,” calling such claims “the biggest lie of our time.”

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” he asserted.

Venezuelan migrants killing all of us and the US Cannot Deport Them ..All While Biden Naps!

Jose Antonio Ibarra

 Nursing Student Laken Riley

 A wave of violent crimes being carried out across America has been linked to Venezuelan migrants and the U.S. government cannot deport any of them, as the South American country will not take any of its citizens back.

An illegal immigrant originally from Venezuela has been charged in connection with the violent murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus on Thursday. Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, the suspect, was released into the U.S. via parole, three ICE & DHS sources told Fox News.

In New York City, the NYPD is trying to crack down on a violent Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua that it says is responsible for terrorizing residents with dozens of robberies in the Big Apple, where the group has now been blamed for scooter and moped robberies as well as retail theft.

At least two of its members were arrested in connection with the shocking mob assault of two New York City police officers last month.

Arab Wiseguy Messes with the wrong Chayelet

 

Mesiras Nefesh of Ori Megidish who was Kidnapped by Hamas and Rescued Will Return to the Army

 

💪🏽 *RESILIENCE* 

 Cpl. Ori Megidish, who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and later rescued by special forces from captivity in the Gaza Strip, will return to her army service today.

Megidish, who was an observation soldier at the Nahal Oz post, will  now serve in the IDF's Military Intelligence Directorate.

The decision to return Megidish to service " stemmed from her personal desire and sense of mission to serve the country."

Civilians in northern Gaza want Hamas to continue the war and not give up.

 

_”Despite the fact that we are now eating animal and livestock food, we have a clear message to Hamas… 

Don’t give up! 

All Palestinian prisoners must be released. If there is no  animal food, we will eat sand. Don’t give up on anything.!_

And we have a message to the Jews… 

We have already committed  October 7th and there will be October 8th and October 9th and October 10th and so on…”_

Thousands of Jewish teens gather at Ohel amid spike in antisemitic incidents

 Thousands of Jewish teens from across the globe gathered at a pro-Israel rally in Times Square and at the grave of a beloved rabbi as part of the annual CTeen International Summit.

A massive crowd prayed at the grave of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson in Queens Sunday, a day after the Times Square rally, spreading handwritten, shredded prayers over his final resting place.

The Rebbe’s resting place is known for its spiritual significance, attracting over 400,000 visitors annually.

CTeen volunteer Mendel Zaklikovsky said the gathering at the grave site was significant because Schneerson was passionate about young people.

“The Rebbe was very into education. He would always talk about the potential that young adults have,” Zaklikovsky told The Post. “They are the future leaders of the Jewish world. So it’s very important that we instill in them a strong sense of Jewish pride.

“Just coming together is a very massive thing for these teenagers,” Zaklikovsky said. “There’s a lot of antisemitism, and when there are 3,000 teens coming together, it’s a big deal.”

The CTeen International Summit, hosted by CTeen, brings together teens from around the world for a weekend of prayer and workshops on topics such as antisemitism, mental health, and leadership.

This year’s theme is “Count on Me”.

Adi Zohar a pregnant Lady Shot in Mallei Adummim Describes her Miracle

Adi Zohar, who was severely injured in last week’s terror attack near Maaleh Adumim, spoke with the media Sunday about the amazing miracle she experienced.

“Thank Hashem, I am slowly recovering,” Mrs. Zohar, who is pregnant, said from her hospital bed. “I had a great miracle, and I want to focus on that. I got my life back.”

Mrs. Zohar described her harrowing experience during last week’s terror attack on Route 1, in vivid detail.

“I travel there every morning. I was waiting in the traffic jam.”

She described how she “was talking on the phone, and I noticed that the car in front of me suddenly rammed into the car ahead. I thought it was a strange accident, but within seconds the terrorist got out of the car as if he was possessed.”

“I saw his gun immediately, I started screaming to my aunt on the phone that they were going to shoot me because I had no way to avoid it. “He looked at me, I tried to slide down in my seat and I thought about my fetus and I said, ‘Shema Yisrael,’ and he fired at me, I saw blood on my shirt.”

“I didn’t feel the bullet hit me. I got out and tried to run away, and I later saw in the videos that the terrorist was close to me,” she added.

She recounted the horrific moments after she was shot. “I crawled on the ground and tried to reach other cars so they would know something happened to me, that I was hurt.”

“Because I was on all fours, most drivers didn’t open the door for me, they were scared. A nice woman let me into her car and, in the midst of the chaos, I managed to gather myself and told her, ‘I’m pregnant, they shot me, call an ambulance,'” she said.

“I experienced a miracle,” she said. “First of all, I’m still here. We’re now four days after the incident. The bullet hit in a very dangerous place, but both I and my unborn child are alive, and that’s what matters.”

Mrs. Zohar emphasized, “I had a miracle here. The shrapnel was in a dangerous place, and I and my fetus are alive. Everyone speaks about the moments before death, and that’s how I felt, and I thought about my two-year-old son who will have to grow up without me. Hashem was with me. The fact that I did not lose consciousness protected my fetus.”

Unbelievable! Sneaky Demonrats slap surprise ‘Hamas amendment’ on Holocaust education bill

 

All this in the great State of Washington

Except Rep. Emily Alvarado (D) dropped an amendment out of nowhere that R's weren't prepared to debate on (very out of line with procedure). The amendment is an exercise in Holocaust whataboutism:https://t.co/pAKeXTtLNk pic.twitter.com/EjzojG2U12

— Brandi Kruse (@BrandiKruse) February 10, 2024

A bipartisan bill on Holocaust and genocide education in Washington state has had a “Hamas amendment” slapped on it by State House Democrats that would guarantee that antisemitic and pro-Hamas talking points are taught to public school children.

House Bill 2037 mandates that public schools teach the Holocaust and other genocides and augment current material on the Holocaust with a curriculum augmented by the Holocaust Center for Humanity and other agencies. Additionally, in April, International Genocide Prevention and Awareness Month, Washington public schools must also promote age-appropriate educational activities regarding the Holocaust and other genocides.

The bill was a companion to a Senate bill, introduced by Republican State Senator John Braun, following the Hamas massacre of Oct 7, to address GOP concerns that one in five Americans aged 18 to 29 don't think the Holocaust occurred.

However, once the bills were introduced, local antisemites and Hamas supporters spammed legislators demanding that the Holocaust education be watered down and focus more on other genocides.
