So the story is like this, Chassidishe Yeshivas are parking their School Buses on residential streets robbing residents of parking spaces. The Yeshivas want to get away on the cheap so instead of using bus garages like the "goyim" they park on the streets.
The Chassidishe guy who videotaped this, is the bus driver and is basically mocking a resident who is frustrated by these "parking thieves". These Chassidim bring the worst out of people and I understand the resident very well.
Meet Ahlam Tamimi, female Hamas terrorist who became a popular and influential celebrity among the Palestinian and Jordanian public after she murdered 16 people, including 7 children and a pregnant woman.
The U.S. Department of Education lists schools under investigation for antisemitism:
Minnesota’s Democrat Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith recently joined 17 other senators in their party’s leftward lurch by urging the Biden administration “to take decisive action to bring about a two-state solution once and for all” and calling for “U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state” after the conclusion of the war in Gaza.
In doing so, they are ignoring reality, refusing to apply the lessons learned from past peace attempts, tossing our ally, Israel, under the bus, and incentivizing terrorists around the globe by providing strategic rewards for the tactical atrocities they carry out to further their malign ambitions.
By engaging in these dangerous fantasies, these senators have revealed themselves to be little more than a mirror of the Progressive Squad in the House led by Ilhan Omar (D-MN-5).
President Joe Biden bears much of the responsibility for exacerbating this fissure.
A New Jersey rabbi who paid $30,000 for two hitmen to kill his wife three decades ago so he could be with his Philadelphia radio personality mistress has died in prison.
Fred Neulander, 82, was found unresponsive in an infirmary unit in the New Jersey State Prison in Trenton on Wednesday, the state Department of Corrections announced.
He was transported to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead sometime before 6:13 p.m., the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
As of Saturday morning, no cause of death had been released.
Neulander founded the Congregation M’kor Shalom Reform Jewish synagogue in Cherry Hill in 1974.
A network of Jewish alumni from Columbia University sent a scathing letter to President Minouche Shafik for allowing anti-Israel protesters to continue to invade campus — warning that violence against Jewish students may be imminent.
“At present, new, unauthorized protests are disrupting classes and creating an irrefutably unsafe environment for Jewish students,” the Columbia Jewish Alumni Association wrote in the letter dated Friday.
As of Friday night, protests demanding the university divest from Israel were still going strong after over 100 participants were arrested when the NYPD stormed the original tent encampment demonstration.
Numerous protesters who were not associated with Columbia swarmed campus — including actress Susan Sarandon and a former professor who once threatened a Post reporter with a machete.
The alumni group fears that “violence against Jewish students is imminent” due to the tensions around Israel’s war and the protests on campus.
The letter cited several troubling incidents that unfolded over the past few days – including when protesters were filmed shouting “The seventh of October is going to be every day for you” – referring to Hamas’ deadly terror attack on southern Israel last fall.
An explosion at a military camp in northern Babil province, Iraq, resulted in the death of a member of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and injuries to eight others, the Iraqi Security Media Cell reported on April 20. local media noted.
The blast occurred shortly after midnight at Kalso Camp, which is located along the international road and hosts units from the army, police, and the Popular Mobilization Forces which are believed to be working in league with Iran’s revolutionary guards. The blast comes 24 hours after several Israeli rockets and drones hit Iranian military positions inside the country.
'At one o'clock after midnight last night, an explosion and fire occurred inside Kalso Camp, leading to the death of a member of the Popular Mobilization Forces and injuries to eight others, including an Iraqi army member,' the Cell stated in a press release.
Civil defence teams in Babil responded swiftly, preventing the fire from spreading and bringing it under control quickly.
When Baerbock offered to show Netanyahu photos of hungry Gazan children, he responded, “Come and see the pictures of the markets in Gaza, the beaches in Gaza, there’s no famine there.” Netanyahu was referring to recent photos circulating on social media, which show stocked market stalls and Gazans enjoying a day at the beach, following the IDF’s withdrawal from the Strip two weeks ago.
Baerbock countered, “Those photos don’t portray the real situation in Gaza. There is hunger in Gaza.” Netanyahu raised his voice, insisting, “It’s real. It’s reality. It’s not like what the Nazis staged, we’re not like the Nazis who produced fake images of manufactured reality.”
The German foreign minister responded, “Are you saying that our doctors in the field in Gaza aren’t telling the truth? Are you saying that the international media is lying?”
Baerbock’s visit to Israel came in the wake of Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel last weekend, which prompted Germany to urge Israel to show restraint and avoid escalating tensions in the region.
The Biden administration on Friday imposed sanctions on two entities accused of fundraising for Israeli West Bank settlers who have allegedly harassed Palestinians, as well as the founder of an organization whose members allegedly assault Palestinians.
There is also friction between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose government has reacted angrily to previous sanctions imposed against West Bank settlers.
Included in the Friday sanctions are two entities — Mount Hebron Fund and Shlom Asiraich — accused of raising funds for sanctioned settlers Yinon Levi and David Chai Chasdai.
The fundraising campaigns established by Mount Hebron Fund for Levi and by Shlom Asiraich for Chasdai generated the equivalent of $140,000 and $31,000, respectively, according to U.S. Treasury.
The penalties aim to block them from using the U.S. financial system and bar American citizens from dealing with them.
Additionally, the State Department is designating Ben-Zion Gopstein, the founder and leader of Lehava, an organization whose members have allegedly assaulted Palestinian civilians.
Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo said the organizations “undermine the peace, security, and stability of the West Bank. We will continue to use our tools to hold those responsible accountable.”
In February, Biden issued an executive order that targets Israeli settlers in the West Bank who have been accused of attacking Palestinians and Israeli peace activists in the occupied territory but has never been proven.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to within days announce sanctions against the Israel Defense Forces "Netzah Yehuda" battalion for human rights violations in the occupied West Bank, three U.S. sources with knowledge of the issue told Axios.
Why it matters: It would be the first time the U.S. imposed sanctions on an Israeli military unit.
Driving the news: On Thursday, ProPublica reported that a special State Department panel that investigated alleged violations of human rights based on the Leahy law recommended months ago that Blinken disqualify multiple Israeli military and police units that operate in the West Bank from receiving U.S. aid.
A U.S. official said Blinken's determination about the Netzah Yehuda unit is based on incidents that occurred before the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and all took place in the West Bank.
More than 100 protesters were cuffed and hauled away from Columbia University when NYPD cops in riot gear swarmed the campus Thursday after the president made the bombshell decision to clear a large anti-Israel protest encampment.
At least 108 protesters — including some who had to be carried away — were quickly filed onto waiting NYPD corrections buses.
A huge crowd of other demonstrators then defiantly swarmed to the police vehicles to temporarily block them from leaving the scene.
In the wake of the busts, officers then set about tearing down dozens of tents and dumping them in the trash.
“I applaud the cops. They are doing the right thing,” one 20-year-old Columbia student, who didn’t want to be named, told The Post. “We don’t feel safe. We fear for our lives.”
“Remember who started this? Hamas, that terrorist group,” he added. “We pay a lot of money to come here and we should feel safe and protected.”
Columbia President Minouche Shafik announced she “authorized” the NYPD to crack down on the encampment.
Following the conclusion of an aerial strike on Iran, Iran has removed all restrictions on flights at the Imam Khomeini International Airport and Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran, after the flights were suspended due to alleged Israeli attacks in Isfahan.
However, Fly Dubai has cancelled its Friday flights to Tehran.
The strike was carried out in retaliation for Iran's Saturday night launch of 350 drones and missiles towards Israeli territory. A full 99% of the launches were intercepted, only five fell in Israeli territory; only one person, a Bedouin child, was injured.
A spokesperson for the Iranian aviation organization said that the restrictions had also been removed in "several other airports."
Iranian reports also said that Israel's attack was carried out by means of UAVs.
The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), there has been no damage to any of Iran's nuclear sites: "IAEA can confirm that there is no damage to Iran’s nuclear sites. DG Rafael Grossi continues to call for extreme restraint from everybody and reiterates that nuclear facilities should never be a target in military conflicts. IAEA is monitoring the situation very closely."
An intelligence source told CNN that that initial estimates are that Iran will not respond to the attack on its territory. Despite this, reports in Israel said that the Israel's aerial defense system is at peak readiness.
An Israeli official told the Washington Post that the strike on Iran "was intended to signal to Iran that Israel had the ability to strike inside the country."
The US Embassy warned Friday: "Out of an abundance of caution following reports that Israel conducted a retaliatory strike inside Iran, U.S. government employees and their family members are restricted from personal travel outside the greater Tel Aviv (including Herzliya, Netanya, and Even Yehuda), Jerusalem, and Be’er Sheva areas until further notice. U.S. government personnel are authorized to transit between these three areas for personal travel."
Australia issued a similar warning, with a government site urging citizens to "reconsider" travel to Israel and whether those already in Israel need to remain in the area.
"Reconsider your need to travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories overall due to the volatile security situation, including the threat of terrorism, armed conflict and civil unrest," the warning read.
According to CNN, “prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked Judge Juan Merchan to confirm if he intends the court go straight until 2 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday for Passover. The judge said that is his plan.”
“Trump attorney Todd Blanche said Monday asked that they do not sit on Tuesday because it’s a holiday the entire day.”
“I can appreciate it’s a holiday, the entire day for him. It’s not a court holiday,” Merchan said.
This is an extremely significant decision by Judge Merchan, because two of Trump’s lawyers are Orthodox Jews, and thus will not be able to attend the proceedings. Jews are forbidden to do any ‘labor’ on the first two and last two days of Passover, including writing and most forms of travel.
The judge announced the scheduling decision near the closing of proceedings on Thursday afternoon.
Although this is not unheard of, it is very common for judges to accommodate the religious needs of both attorneys and litigants. Specifically in this highly unusual and historic trial, when a former president is being accused of felonies, one would have expected Merchan to be as accommodating as possible to the defense team.
There have been unverified rumors that the judge also disqualified religious Jews to be jurors, which some speculated was not due to their religion but to their tendency to be Trump supporters.
Israel on Friday morning attacked Iran with a retaliatory strike, as explosions were reported near a military base in Isfahan, central Iran early Friday morning.
The Tasnim news agency reported that nuclear sites in the province of Isfahan are “absolutely safe,” denying foreign media reports about an incident at a nuclear site in Isfahan. ABC News reported, citing a US official, that Israel delivered a missile strike on a “facility in Iran.
Iran’s news agency Mehr reported that the sound of several explosions was heard in Iran’s Isfahan province in the early hours of Friday. The sound of explosions was heard at around 4:00 AM in the northern and eastern regions of Isfahan. According to Mehr, the blasts were the result of the air defense systems firing at an incoming attack.
The Israeli attack fell on the 85th birthday (according to the secular calendar) of Iran’s supreme leader, Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, answering the age-old question, what to get a man who has everything.
L’havdil, the attack also fell on the 122nd birthday (according to the Hebrew calendar) of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson Ztz’l, who would have been delighted with the news of the attack, but probably wonder why so little and so late.
Also on Friday, according to Mehr, the air defense systems in the Vadi-e-Rahmat region of Tabriz fired at a suspicious flying object.
According to the Fars news agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, three explosions took place near the Isfahan Air Force Base.
Three Iranian officials confirmed to the NY Times that a strike had hit a military air base near the city of Isfahan early on Friday, but did not say which country had mounted the attack.
According to the Pentagon press secretary, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant Thursday afternoon on Iran’s destabilizing actions in the Middle East.
Explosions were reported overnight Friday in southern Iraq. The Iraqi Sabrin News Agency, which is affiliated with Iran, reported increased activity of American aircraft in Iraq’s skies.
According to Arab reports, Israel attacked Syria overnight Friday. The Iranian Al-Alam channel cited a Syrian security official about an Israeli attack in southern Syria between the suburbs of the Daraa district and the suburbs of the al-Sawida district. According to the report, a radar base was attacked.
One of the channels of the Al-Jazeera network reported the bombings of several sites in southern Syria in the suburbs of the city of Daraa. For the time being, there is no official update in the Syrian state media.
