Lakewood Father charged in tragic death of 4-month-old son who died in hot car after being left for ‘extended period’

 

A 4-month-old New Jersey infant perished after being left for an “extended period” in a hot car — and his father has been charged in the tragic death, authorities said.

Investigators did not disclose just how long they suspect ME son was left on his own inside the dad’s Toyota minivan Tuesday in Lakewood, when temps reached a high of 63 degrees.

Local news footage shows officers around the parked van, which appears to have been left in direct sunlight.

Lakewood cops received a 911 call about an unresponsive child at approximately 1:45 p.m. and officers were dispatched to a residential block near Fifth Street between Monmouth and Princeton avenues, near a kosher supermarket market and a pair of synagogues. ME lives three blocks from where the van was parked.

“Responding Officers found Hatzolah Medical Services attempting to render lifesaving aid to a 4-month-old male infant,” the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said.

The boy was taken to Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood, where he was pronounced dead.

Detectives eventually determined the boy “was left alone in ME's vehicle for an extended period of time,” prosecutors said.

ME was arrested Thursday and charged with child endangerment after surrendering to police. He was released by a judge hours later.

The family did not respond to messages.

The baby’s name was not released by investigators.

Columbia bows to Trump, agrees to sweeping campus reforms

 

Columbia University has agreed to comply with US President Donald Trump’s sweeping demands in order to restore $400 million in federal funding that was revoked earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing a memo from the university to the administration.

As part of the agreement, Columbia will prohibit masks on campus, grant 36 campus police officers expanded authority to arrest students and appoint a senior vice provost with broad oversight over the Department of Middle East, South Asian, and African Studies, as well as the Center for Palestine Studies.

One of the most contentious aspects of the negotiations has been control over the Middle East department, a move that has ignited fierce debate among faculty members at Columbia and beyond. The newly appointed vice provost, selected by Columbia, will be responsible for reviewing the curriculum, hiring of non-tenured faculty, and leadership “to ensure the educational offerings are comprehensive and balanced.”

Columbia’s concessions mark a major victory for Trump in his ongoing battle with elite universities over the anti-Israel protests on campuses.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration withdrew federal grants and contracts from Columbia, citing the university’s failure to protect Jewish students. The university had been at the center of pro-Palestinian Arab demonstrations that disrupted campuses across the country last year.

Columbia later signalled a willingness to cooperate with the Trump administration in order to restore the funding, which interim President Katrina Armstrong acknowledged would "immediately impact research and other critical functions."

The Wall Street Journal report noted that, before talks on restoring federal funding, the Trump administration initially set forth nine demands. Columbia, however, now says it has gone even further by implementing additional measures to promote intellectual diversity.

A senior Columbia administrator acknowledged that the university considered legal action against the Trump administration but ultimately decided against it. The school determined that the federal government had numerous tools at its disposal to withhold funding, making a legal battle challenging. Additionally, university officials recognized that many of the required changes aligned with reforms they already intended to implement.

Columbia has come under increased scrutiny over the rise in antisemitism on campus since the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023.

Pro-Palestinian Arab demonstrators at Columbia set up dozens of tents in April of 2024, demanding that the university divest from its Israeli assets. The university administration called in police to dismantle the encampments.

On April 30, at the request of university leaders, hundreds of officers with the New York Police Department stormed onto campus, gaining access to the building through a second-story window and making dozens of arrests of the pro-Palestinian Arab demonstrators who had taken over Hamilton Hall.

In August, three Columbia University deans resigned from the school, after it was discovered that they had exchanged “very troubling” texts that “disturbingly touched on ancient antisemitic tropes”.

The university has seen a resurgence of anti-Israel activity in recent weeks. In January, anti-Israel students disrupted an Israeli history class by banging drums, chanting “Free Palestine,” and distributing fliers that depicted a boot stomping on a Star of David.

The students were later expelled, prompting protests at Barnard College. The demonstrations escalated when protesters took over the Barnard College library, leading to multiple arrests.

The Delusional Witkoff says that Hamas is "Not as ideologically extreme as they're often portrayed

US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff on Friday gave an extensive interview to journalist Tucker Carlson, stating the US' goals for the war against Hamas in Gaza, and praising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's actions.

Stressing that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has good motives, he noted that Hamas is almost completely eliminated, Hezbollah is significantly weakened, and Israel has sent a powerful message to the Iranian government.

"We would not be as effective in the region if he didn't do what he did [with Hezbollah and Hamas], not even close."

He explained, "I think he [Netanyahu] did an exceptional job, but the rap he gets is that he's more concerned about the fight than he is about the hostages. I understand how people could make that assessment, but I don't necessarily agree with it."

'I think Bibi believes that he's doing the right thing. I think he goes up against public opinion 'cause the public opinion [in Israel] wants those hostages home."

Witkoff, one of the first US officials to visit Gaza in 22 years, spoke with the families of the hostages and attended events at Tel Aviv's Hostages Square. He emphasized the close connection that he feels with the hostages' families, and said that the events of October 7 are a national trauma, cutting Israel's soul.

Witkoff also stressed that US President Donald Trump's goal is "about understanding the reality before making decisions."

Gaza, however, cannot continue to be ruled by Hamas: "They need to demilitarize, and then they might also be politically involved in Gaza."

"A terrorist organization cannot govern Gaza — that is unacceptable to Israel. What is possible, however, is for them to disarm. Then they can stay for a while and even be politically involved."

In his opinion, "We need to understand what Hamas wants and then think about what we can offer them to make them leave. That is what needs to happen here. At the start of the conflict, we heard that 'Hamas is an ideology, and they are ready to die.'"

"I don’t think they are as ideologically extreme as they're often portrayed. They send young children who understand nothing to commit suicide with explosive belts. Once we understand that they want to live, we can talk to them more effectively."

 

Tragic Accident Claims Life of Rabbi Eliyahu Fink

Rabbi Eliyahu Fink, 43, a prominent writer from Monsey, New York, known for his widely followed online posts, tragically lost his life early Thursday morning in a devastating accident on the Garden State Parkway in East Orange in Essex county near milepost 146.5 in East Orange.

Fink’s Tesla was reportedly disabled following a crash, prompting him to exit the vehicle. As he stood outside, he was struck by a Jeep Cherokee, which sent him into the northbound lanes. Multiple vehicles then hit him, leading to fatal injuries. The details of the crash are still under investigation.

Rabbi Fink was widely respected for his insightful writing and thought-provoking online presence, drawing a significant following for his posts that covered various aspects of life, faith, and personal growth. His unexpected passing has left many in the community in shock, with tributes pouring in from those who admired his work and impact.

Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash, and more details are expected to emerge in the coming days

R’ Eliyahu Z”L was the son of Rabbi Aharon Fink, a respected longtime mohel and the dean of Ateres Bais Yaakov, which he founded 25 years ago.

Our thoughts are with Rabbi Fink’s family, friends, and community during this difficult time.

The levaya is set to take place on Sunday in Monsey. Further details will be published as they become available.

NYC ClosesTwo Skver Moisdois and One Satmar Girls School.... "No Tickie...No Washie"

  Parents at three more New York City yeshivas are being told to find another school for next year as the State Education Department clamps down on schools flouting requirements for secular education instruction.

The schools will lose their legal status and will not receive any public funding for meals, transportation, textbooks orother programs after June 30, which is the deadline for all schools in the state to comply with the secular education mandate, according to a spokesperson for the New York State Education Department.

The government crackdown comes after years of legislative battles, court disputes, and public debate over the quality and character of education received by an estimated 65,000 yeshiva students across New York state.

The state ultimately decided that all children learn to speak, read and write in English and gain at least basic knowledge of math, science, and social studies. While many yeshivas teach these topics alongside religious instruction, some do not, focusing entirely on the study of Jewish texts.

Some of the schools deemed to violate the state’s requirements have moved to improve their instruction of secular subjects. Others, the education department spokesperson said, have received repeated warnings but failed to engage with the department about making changes to their curriculum.

Three schools, two of which are part of the same yeshiva, received notices in early February that they were losing their legal status as schools. Three additional schools, all in Brooklyn, were notified last week.

They are:

Mosdos Chasidei Square, at 105 Heyward Street
Mosdos Chasidei Square Boro Park, at 1373 43rd Street
Yeshiva Torah V’Yirah Bais Rochel, also known as United Talmudical Academy of Boro Park, at 1275 36th Street
None of the schools responded to requests for comment from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Zera Shimshon Parshas Va'Yakheil

 

Eli Sharabi visits Lubavitcher Rebbe's gravesite, reciting the Kaddish prayer. 'With faith and unity, we can overcome anything.'

Hours after he testified at the United Nations Security Council, Hamas captivity survivor Eli Sharabi visited the "Ohel," the gravesite of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

Sharabi gave thanks for his survival and prayed for the hostages who remain in Gaza. He recited the Kaddish prayer for the first time, mourning his murdered relatives.

He was hosted by Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky of the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters. This is Sharabi's first time in a synagogue since his release from captivity, and it held great personal meaning for him. Last year, Sharabi's brother Sharon Sharabi visited the same spot, and asked for a blessing for Eli's rescue.

"Exactly one year after that prayer, Eli was released," his brother said emotionally.

The brothers were hosted by Rabbi Kotlarsky and Chabad-Lubavitch emissary Rabbi Zalman Wolowik.

At the gravesite, Sharabi lit a memorial candle, placed his handwritten note, and prayed for the hostages who are still held in Gaza, reciting their names out loud. He received a dollar which the Rebbe had given as a symbol of blessing and protection - a gift organized by Chani Kosliner, who has been supporting the hostages' families since the October 7 massacre.

In a moving moment, Sharabi recited the Kaddish prayer for the first time, in memorial of his brother Yossi, who was killed in Hamas captivity and whose body is still held in Gaza.

On his way in, Sharabi met Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion, who was also visiting that evening. The two embraced and wished each other success in their efforts for the benefit of the Jewish nation.

Though Sharabi does not consider himself religious, he said that his faith kept him alive.

"I came from the darkest place in the world - 50 meters underground," he said. "What gave me strength was saying, 'Shema Yisrael,' every morning. Every Friday we tried to make kiddush - we didn't have wine, so we used water. Faith is what kept us alive."

During his time in captivity, Sharabi held onto the hope that he would return to his family. After he was released, he was informed that his wife and two daughters were murdered in the October 7 massacre.

Upon exiting the Ohel, Sharabi shared what helped him survive his time in captivity and continue moving forward: "With the strength of faith and unity, we can overcome everything," he said.

 

New investigation reveals coordinated efforts to manipulate Wikipedia content, spreading antisemitic and anti-Israel bias.

 

A new report by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Center for Technology and Society (CTS) has uncovered systematic antisemitic and anti-Israel bias on Wikipedia, revealing an orchestrated effort to manipulate content related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The investigation found that a coordinated group of editors has been actively distorting Wikipedia entries in apparent violation of the platform’s policies.

According to the report, at least 30 Wikipedia editors have collaborated to introduce misleading narratives about Israel while downplaying Palestinian antisemitism and violence. These editors were found to be significantly more active than comparable groups, with twice the average number of total edits over the past decade. Additionally, their internal communication was up to 18 times more frequent than that of other Wikipedia editors. The report also details how these editors systematically removed references to reputable sources and engaged in tandem voting to suppress criticism of Hamas and Palestinian violence while amplifying content critical of Israel. This trend has intensified since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, further skewing Wikipedia’s portrayal of the conflict.

“It’s clear that Wikipedia needs to do far more to address the very active antisemitic and anti-Israel bias and coordination,” said Daniel Kelley, Interim Head of the ADL Center for Technology and Society. “Until then, platforms relying on Wikipedia, such as Google Search and AI models like ChatGPT, must deprioritize its content on these issues to prevent the spread of misinformation.”

'Where was the Red Cross when we needed them? Where was the UN? 'Eli Sharabi

 "I know you discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza very often, but let me tell you, as an eyewitness - I saw what happened to this aid. Hamas stole it. I saw Hamas terrorists carrying boxes with the UN and UNRWA emblems on them into the tunnel. Dozens and dozens of boxes, paid by your government, feeding terrorists who tortured me and murdered my family. They would eat many meals a day from the UN aid in front of us, and we never received any of it."

Eli added: "When you speak of humanitarian aid, remember this: Hamas eats like kings while hostages starve."

Ambassador Danon stated in response: "No one can dispute the testimony of a hostage survivor who saw with his own eyes Hamas benefiting from UN humanitarian aid. You can no longer turn a blind eye - UNRWA supports Hamas' murderous terror enterprise that is starving our hostages and perpetuating the humanitarian disaster in Gaza."

Ahead of the council session, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, released hostage Eli Sharabi and Acting US Representative to the UN Dorothy Shea addressed the media.

"For too long, the UN has looked away. For too long, the Security Council has looked away. But Israel will not look away. We will not remain silent. Eli Sharabi stands here today because he survived. He is here today to look into the eyes of those who remained silent and remind them of the hostages who remain in Hamas captivity,” Ambassador Danon stated.

Ambassador Danon added: "The world will hear his story. And the world will have to make a choice - to stand with the hostages, or to stand with the terrorists."

Eli Sharabi stated: "My name is Eli Sharabi and I am 53 years old. I have come back from hell. I have returned to tell my story. For 491 days, I was kept underground in Hamas terror tunnels - chained, starved, beaten, humiliated. The chains they kept me in tore into my skin from the moment I entered until the moment I was released. I was treated worse than an animal. I had to beg for food, and beg to use the bathroom. Begging became my existence."

Eli criticized: "Where was the Red Cross when we needed them? Where was the United Nations? 491 days of torment. 491 days of starvation, of being chained underground. The civilians saw us suffering, and they cheered our kidnappers. They were definitely involved.

"I am here today because I survived. But survival is not enough. Not when 59 are still held captive in Hamas tunnels in Gaza. I was freed less than six weeks ago and I come here to the UN with a simple message. Bring them all home.”

Acting US Representative to the UN Dorothy Shea stated: “Your difficult but necessary testimony, Mr. Sharabi, offers the Security Council an important perspective, reminding us all of how Hamas started this conflict on October 7, 2023, with its horrific terrorist attack, wherein they took over 250 people hostage.”

Ambassador Shea added: “It is important for the Council to hear directly from hostages who were kept in Hamas captivity. They are witnesses and they are survivors, whose testimony provides evidence of the barbarity of Hamas. President Trump has been clear: Hamas must release all 59 hostages immediately – including American Citizens Edan Alexander, Itay Chen, Judith Weinstein, Gad Haggai, and Omer Neutra – or pay a steep price. We continue to stand with Israel as they defend themselves and push to secure the release of all hostages from Hamas captivity."

BBC Continues to try to topple Netanyahu! Tried to Seek Only Israeli military that were critical of Netanyahu

 

The BBC has apologized after making a clear request to interview Israeli military personnel who are “critical of Netanyahu” and the Israeli ground offensive against the Hamas terror group in Gaza.

The incident occurred when Orly Goldschmidt, spokeswoman for the Israeli Embassy in the UK, had shared a screenshot of a message she received from the British corporation and wrote, “Today, my team received this remarkable message from a BBC producer. They don’t want to interview someone knowledgeable, nor someone relevant, just someone who fits the predetermined narrative. There is nothing balanced or impartial about this.”

The message, which was sent via WhatsApp, stated that the BBC presenter was seeking to interview an “Israeli military voice” critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the ground offensive. The message also provided examples of the types of criticism they were looking for, such as “concern about remaining hostages, stretching IDF capacity, destruction of Gaza or any other reason.”

The screenshot blurred the names of the BBC producer, presenter, and the intended recipient.

Jonathan Conricus, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former spokesperson for the IDF, shared Goldschmidt’s post and wrote, “This explains why the BBC and several other major networks won’t have me on anymore. I’m not willing to trash Israeli decisions or do my dirty laundry to feed their hatred of Israel.”

Eylon Levy, former spokesman for the State of Israel, responded to the exchange with one word, “Wow.”

The BBC later issued an “unreserved apology” to the Israeli Embassy in London over the bizarre request, saying it was a “serious mistake” that “clearly falls well below our standards.”

This incident comes as the BBC has repeatedly been criticized for the blatant anti-Israel bias in its reporting. This criticism has increased since Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the war in Gaza which followed.

n November of 2023, the corporation published an apology after falsely claiming that IDF troops were targeting medical teams in battles in and around the Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

Before that, the BBC falsely accused Israel of being responsible for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, which the IDF proved was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket. The network later acknowledged that “it was false to speculate” on the explosion.

In September, a report found that the BBC violated its own editorial guidelines more than 1,500 times during the first four months of the war between Israel and Hamas, and noted “deeply worrying pattern of bias" against the Jewish state during that period.

More recently, the BBC was criticized for using the son of a senior Hamas official as a narrator in its documentary “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone.”

The BBC has acknowledged that there were “serious flaws” in the program. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer later said he is "concerned" by the documentary.

Last week, the British corporation issued an apology after using footage of the Israeli city of Tiberias - located well within Israel's internationally recognized borders - while discussing "settlements" in the Golan Heights.

Trump Plan May Actually Work...Egypt willing to temporarily accept half a million Gazans

The Lebanese Al Akhbar, affiliated with the Hezbollah terror group, on Friday morning reported that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi recently announced during Arab summits that Egypt would be willing to agree to temporarily house half a million Gazans in a city which would be dedicated to them in northern Sinai.

According to the report, which has not yet been confirmed by official sources, the move would require the Egyptian government to open the border to Gazans interested in leaving.

The report also said that the Egyptian agreement aroused concerns in Jordan, which has already declared that it is willing to help Gazan refugees - but only families of the injured, and only for a limited time.

Three weeks ago, with the start of the Arab summit held in Belgium, details were published regarding the Egyptian plan to rebuild Gaza; the plans would require an investment of $53 billion.

Seven areas will be set aside to provide temporary housing for 1.5 million Gazans. The report said that the United Nations Security Council will weigh placing international peacekeepers in Gaza.

Under the plan, a committee will be set up to manage Gaza for a period of six months, ahead of the Palestinian Authority's return. Members of the committee will be "independent figures" and it will operate under the Palestinian Authority.

 

U.S. Drops to Lowest-Ever Position In Global Happiness Rankings; Israel In 8th Place Despite War

 

Finland is named the happiest country in the world for the eighth year in a row, according to the World Happiness Report 2025 published Thursday.

Other Nordic countries are also once again at the top of the happiness rankings in the annual report published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford. Besides Finland, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden remain the top four and in the same order.

Country rankings were based on answers people give when asked to rate their own lives. The study was done in partnership with the analytics firm Gallup and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

“Happiness isn’t just about wealth or growth — it’s about trust, connection and knowing people have your back,” said Jon Clifton, the CEO of Gallup. “If we want stronger communities and economies, we must invest in what truly matters: each other.”

Researchers say that beyond health and wealth, some factors that influence happiness sound deceptively simple: sharing meals with others, having somebody to count on for social support, and household size. In Mexico and Europe, for example, a household size of four to five people predicts the highest levels of happiness, the study said.

Believing in the kindness of others is also much more closely tied to happiness than previously thought, according to the latest findings.

As an example, the report suggests that people who believe that others are willing to return their lost wallet is a strong predictor of the overall happiness of a population.

Nordic nations rank among the top places for expected and actual return of lost wallets, the study found.

Overall, researchers said global evidence on the perceived and actual return of lost wallets shows that people are much too pessimistic about the kindness of their communities compared to reality — actual rates of wallet return are around twice as high as people expect.

While European countries dominate the top 20 in the ranking, there were some exceptions. Despite the war with Hamas, Israel came in at 8th. Costa Rica and Mexico entered the top 10 for the first time, ranking at 6th and 10th respectively.

When it comes to decreasing happiness — or growing unhappiness —the United States has dropped to its lowest-ever position at 24, having previously peaked at 11th place in 2012. The report states that the number of people dining alone in the United States has increased 53% over the past two decades.

The United Kingdom, at position 23, is reporting its lowest average life evaluation since the 2017 report.

Afghanistan is again ranked as the unhappiest country in the world, with Afghan women saying their lives are especially difficult.

Sierra Leone in western Africa is the second unhappiest, followed by Lebanon, ranking the 3rd from the bottom.

In a concerning development, the study said 19% of young adults across the world reported in 2023 that they have no one they could count on for social support. That is a 39% increase compared to 2006.

All countries are ranked according to their self-assessed life evaluations averaged over 2022 to 2024.

Experts in economics, psychology, sociology and beyond then seek to explain the variations across countries and over time using factors such as GDP per capita, healthy life expectancy, having someone to count on, a sense of freedom, generosity and perceptions of corruption.

Eli Sharabi's Arrival at the UN

 Eli Sharabi Arrives at the UN

Emotional Moment Former Hostage Eli Sharabi Serenaded with Hatikva at the UN

Former hostage Eli Sharabi visited UN Ambassador Danny Danon at the United Nations, where a large crowd gathered to see him. Touched by the overwhelming support, Sharabi stepped outside as the crowd serenaded him with “Hatikva,” Israel’s national anthem—a powerful moment of resilience and unity.

Just six weeks ago, Sharabi was trapped in a dark terror tunnel, starved, malnourished, and tortured daily by Hamas. His suffering didn’t end with his release—Hamas murdered his wife, two children, and his brother Yossi during their brutal captivity.

Yet, instead of taking time to recover, Sharabi is traveling the world, fighting for the release of other hostages still held by Hamas. His strength and determination are an inspiration to all.

Eli Sharabi is not just a survivor—he’s a hero.

Chareidie Mob Turns Over the Car of the Mayor of Beit Shemesh and not a sound from any Rabbi!

Watching the clip you see hundreds if not thousands of Charedim cheering on!  Police had to put a helmet on Greenberg! The entire wedding was ruined! 

This reminds me of the Gazan residents cheering on as the hostages were being paraded in Gaza! 

What is more disappointing, is that so far, not one Rav or Gadoil has said one word on this disgusting incident! It may still come, but so far not a peep! 

One cannot say after watching this clip and hundreds of others that it is a "few inciters" .... nope!  all the residents of Beit Shemesh "bet" are equally guilty! 

 

*Widespread Condemnation Following the Attack on the Mayor*

Following the violent attack on Mayor Shmuel Greenberg and his family last night, widespread condemnation has come from the President, ministers, Knesset members, party leaders, and city officials. They expressed shock over the brutal assault and called for strong enforcement against the attackers, emphasizing that violence has no place in our city or society. Deputy Mayor Moti Leitner has ordered increased municipal security patrols around the mayor.

Mayor Greenberg's son, who was injured, is in good condition and thanks everyone for their concern.

Following the violent attack on Mayor Shmulik Greenberg, senior city figures have issued sharp condemnations:

*Deputy Mayor Yitzchak Elmaliach*:

"I was shocked and appalled by this serious incident in which my friend, Mayor Shmulik Greenberg, was brutally attacked while leaving a family celebration. The fact that a mayor in Israel needs to be evacuated under heavy security, wearing a helmet out of fear for his life, is inconceivable. Harming his family crosses a red line. I trust the Israel Police to bring the perpetrators to justice."

*Deputy Mayor Yisrael Silverstein*:

"I strongly condemn the serious incident in which extremists attacked the mayor's car while he participated in a family celebration. The entire city and the municipal representatives are obligated to uphold the law and human dignity. We must all unite to reject this dangerous violence."

*Deputy Mayor Motti Leitner*:

"This shocking attack, where extremists vandalized the mayor's vehicle and nearly caused loss of life, must be treated as an attempted murder. I call on the Israel Police to act decisively and arrest those responsible. The dangerous deterioration we are witnessing cannot be allowed to continue. Silence is tacit approval, and we must all speak out loudly against violence and lawlessness."

A serious and unprecedented violent incident occurred yesterday evening during the wedding of the brother of Beit Shemesh Mayor Shmuelik Greenberg at the Farhend Hall in RBS B. Extremists attacked the mayor and his family, throwing stones, eggs, and garbage at them, causing injuries and ruining the celebration. The mayor’s son was injured and required medical attention. His daughters were also targeted.

The extremists blocked the mayor's vehicle, smashed its windows, punctured the tires, and even flipped the car onto its roof. For nearly 50 minutes, police forces attempted to manage the chaos and awaited reinforcements to safely extract the mayor and his family.

In dramatic footage, Mayor Greenberg can be seen being evacuated from the scene with a helmet on his head, under heavy police escort while objects and stones were being thrown at him and his family. Eventually, a tractor arrived to return the overturned vehicle to its wheels for removal. The mayor and his family were brought home safely under police protection.

The incident has left the city in shock, with widespread expressions of outrage over the violent actions of a fringe group that disrupted public order and caused harm to the mayor and his family.

 Exclusive: Mayor Greenberg's Message Following the Unprecedented Attack* 

Beit Shemesh Mayor Shmulik Greenberg shares an exclusive message with Beit Shemesh News after the unprecedented attack against him last night:

"They tried to attack me personally. We will maintain public order in the city and will not fear anyone. Violence will not get anything out of us. I am grateful that we arrived home safely. Cars come and go — but we are safe, both physically and mentally." 

Trump is fighting a cartel of vile, corrupt and far-left lunatic judges

 If you ever doubted that Washington’s corrupt cartel of Democrat law firms, judges, NGOs, and deep state bureaucrats is a machine designed to thwart the Trump administration, just watch as judge after judge blocks the president’s ability to keep his campaign promises. 

It may not be brown paper bags changing hands, but this lawfare that defies the people’s will is every bit as corrupt. 

It will be up to the Supreme Court to define the limits of presidential authority, but Chief Justice John Roberts’ preemptive scolding of Trump for musing about judicial impeachment doesn’t bode well for the president. 

Trump won a thumping mandate in the November election, winning every swing state, the popular vote and both houses of Congress.

Democrats are rudderless, fighting each other and incapable of mounting an effective opposition. 

So they are depending on the federal courts to be the “Last Bulwark Against Trump” as The New York Times puts it, celebrating the fact that almost 600 federal judges in courtrooms from Rhode Island to Seattle can issue emergency rulings to “stop the White House in its tracks.

Politico has dubbed it the “court case presidency,” noting approvingly that “the courts have provided the only real opposition to Trump 2.0 so far.” 

And so they have.

Beit Shemesh Chareidim Turn Over Mayor's Car with him and his son in it!

 

This is what happens when you cater to extremists! They are never satisfied, appeasement doesn't work! 

Radical ultra-Orthodox activists overturned Mayor Shmuel Greenberg’s car during a family event. He was evacuated under police protection; his son required medical care.
