Should Jews leave America now?
DIN: In the video below, you have "debate" between Rabbi Elchanan Shoff and Rabbi Michal Weichbrod
I am in the midst of taking apart this discussion and exposing the half-truths and all lies of Rabbi Shoff!
by Avraham Shusteris
The below article is a response to a recent podcast debate between two American Rabbis who discussed whether Othodox (frum) Jews in America should be making aliyah now. The entire debate can be seen above.
The question is asked. And after the Sydney massacre it is being asked again. It is whispered in the shuls of Brooklyn and shouted in the study halls of Lakewood.
We hear the great excuse, the terrible shield behind which the American Jew hides his fear and his comfort.
"How can I make Aliyah? What about the children? What if they go off the derech? What if they fall?"
And so, to "save" the children, we sentence them to the graveyard of the Exile.
It is madness! It is a tragedy of logic that only a Jew in Galut could invent. You are afraid that in the Holy Land, the land God’s eyes are upon from the beginning of the year to the end, your child will lose his way? But in America- the land of filth, of materialism, of the worship of the Golden Dollar-there he will be safe?
New haunting footage: Couple confronts Sydney terrorists before being shot
Newly released video footage appears to show a bystander attempting to disarm one of the alleged attackers moments before the deadly shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, during a Hanukkah event.
Dashcam footage from the scene shows a man wearing a purple top struggling with Sajid Akram near a vehicle close to a footbridge shortly before gunfire erupted. The footage captures the two men grappling on the ground, with the bystander appearing to reach for and gain control of the firearm during the struggle.
As the confrontation continues, the man in the purple top is seen rising to his feet while holding the weapon and backing away, gesturing toward Akram in what appears to be an effort to keep him at a distance. A woman is visible standing nearby during the incident.
The newly surfaced footage shows the bystander stepping backward while still facing Akram, seemingly attempting to prevent him from regaining control of the gun.
The man and woman were later identified as Boris and Sofia Gurman, a Russian-Jewish couple living in Bondi. They were the first two victims of the attack.
Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, Sajid Akram, 50, opened fire on people gathered for the Chanukah by the Sea event at Bondi at approximately 6:40 p.m. on Sunday, marking the first night of Hanukkah.
The dashcam footage also appears to show what resembles an Islamic State flag displayed across the front windscreen of a silver car at the scene.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the following day that the attackers were motivated by Islamic State ideology.
The incident left at least 15 people dead, with more than 40 others injured.
Trump bans Palestinian Arabs from Travelling to the USA
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday expanded the United States’ travel ban to include nationals from seven additional countries, among them Syria, as well as holders of Palestinian Authority (PA) passports.
According to a White House proclamation, the restrictions aim to prevent foreigners who could “undermine or destabilize [the US] culture, government, institutions or founding principles.”
The decision comes just days after two US soldiers and a civilian were killed in Syria. Washington has recently sought to rehabilitate ties with Damascus following the fall of former President Bashar Al-Assad’s regime.
Syrian authorities said the attack’s perpetrator was a security officer dismissed for “extremist Islamist ideas.”
The Trump administration had already informally barred PA passport holders, describing the measure as part of a broader policy aligned with Israel’s opposition to foreign recognition of a Palestinian state, which several Western countries, including France and Britain, have backed.
Jewish man stabbed in the chest by a Black Guy shouting antisemitic slurs in Crown Heights
A Jewish man was stabbed in the chest by a man shouting antisemitic slurs in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood on Tuesday.
The victim was attacked near the intersection of Kingston Avenue and Lincoln Place and stabbed in the chest. He was transported to Kings County Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and is expected to recover. Authorities said the wound was not life-threatening.
The assailant engaged the victim in a brief confrontation before shouting antisemitic slurs, including “[Expletive] these Jews,” and saying it would be acceptable if the Holocaust were to happen again. The attacker then pulled out a knife and stabbed the man in the chest. The victim fought back, preventing the blade from penetrating deeply, before the suspect fled the scene on foot.
Police and emergency medical services responded shortly after the attack. As of Tuesday night, no arrests had been made.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident as a bias attack, and Crown Heights Shomrim is assisting police. Authorities are asking anyone with information to call 911 or Crown Heights Shomrim at 718-774-3333.
In a Bitter Irony a anti-Frum Tel Aviv City Councilwoman Sounds exactly like the Anti-Chabad Yeshivishe Fanatics
Tel Aviv–Jaffa City Council member Hadas Ragolsky published a video in which she attacked the Chabad movement and its initiatives aimed at local youth in the city. In an interview with 103FM, she expressed her frustration over the situation.
“The video was recorded ten days ago and went online eight days ago, six days before someone was murdered in that shocking terrorist attack in Australia. The video relates to what Chabad is doing in Tel Aviv, not what it does worldwide, and not to what happened in Australia. The call in the video is meant to hold up a mirror to what is happening in Tel Aviv. We need to tell the truth. Chabad is a missionary, messianic movement that seeks to bring people closer to Judaism and religion, as they themselves openly declare everywhere. It is a movement of religious coercion. That is what they came to do,” Ragolsky explained.

SURGE OF HATE IN THE USA ... 893% Spike in Attacks Against Jews this year alone!
*SURGE OF HATE*
New data reveals a staggering 893% spike in antisemitic attacks over the past decade, underscoring the nearly 9,500 incidents reported just last year.
Goyim beating the crap out of Jews on the NYC Subway Daily...
An antisemitic attack was recorded yesterday on the New York subway.
What makes it worse is that such incidents have become routine.
This time it was filmed, but similar cases happen daily. Passengers stood by in silence. No one intervened.
Eighty years later, history feels disturbingly familiar.

Bondi Beach as a Refutation of Secular Teleology
by Elder of Zion
The murderous Chanukah attack at Bondi Beach should not have happened.
That statement is not merely moral. It is philosophical.
One of the dominant assumptions of modern Western thought is that history is moving, more or less inevitably, toward justice, tolerance, and moral enlightenment. Under that framework, acts of naked antisemitic violence are predicted to be fading into irrelevance. They are relics of a less educated, less inclusive, less enlightened past. When they occur at all, they are assumed to be marginal, residual, or explicable as temporary aberrations.
Bondi Beach is therefore not just a tragedy. It is a refutation of a specific belief: that history itself is doing the moral work for us.
This belief has become accepted as fact in the Western world. And that is dangerous.
Secular Teleology
Teleology is the belief that history has an inherent direction and an endpoint: that events are not merely unfolding, but unfolding toward something. In religious traditions, that “something” is redemption, salvation, or divine judgment. In modern secular thought, God is removed, but the structure remains.
Beginning in the Enlightenment, a range of philosophers secularized this idea. History was no longer guided by divine will but by impersonal forces: reason, science, economic laws, technological development, or moral awakening. The destination remained moral improvement; only the engine changed.
This secular teleology appears in multiple modern forms. In Marxism, history inevitably culminates in a classless society. With scientific or technocratic optimism, knowledge and innovation will dissolve moral conflict. Progressivism says social norms converge toward justice over time. Decolonial and liberation frameworks claim historical forces guarantee emancipation.
What these systems share is not policy content, but structure: history is treated as a moral agent, and the future as a validator of truth.
What is striking about secular teleology is not that it hopes for progress, but that it asserts inevitability. There is no historical law demonstrating that societies must become more just. There is no empirical data showing that hatred naturally declines with education (recent studies show the opposite.) We have no scientific principle proving or even suggesting that moral norms converge over time rather than fracture, mutate, or regress.
None of this is to deny that many things are better today than in the past. Local improvements exist. Institutional reforms can work. But inevitability is a faith claim, not a finding. It is asserted, not demonstrated. Once inevitability is assumed, evidence no longer tests the theory; it is absorbed by it.
Despite its lack of necessity, secular teleology has become ambient in modern Western thinking.
We speak casually about “the right side of history.” We assume that moral disagreement is generational rather than substantive. We expect that today’s taboos will expand tomorrow, and that yesterday’s hatreds cannot seriously return. We have inherited a narrative - in education, in media, in political speech - that simply has no factual basis.
It is a narrative about how time works. And time doesn’t really care about inevitable social justice.
Trump Taking a Page out of Biden's Hand Book Condemns Israel's Assassination of a Blood Thirsty Murderer
*U.S. Criticizes Israel Over Strike on Hamas Commander*
According to Axios, the White House privately criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu over the airstrike that killed senior Hamas commander Raad Saad, calling it a violation of the U.S. brokered Gaza ceasefire.
Israel responded that the strike was necessary, saying Saad was rebuilding Hamas capabilities and planning attacks in breach of the truce.
Australian PM Trying to "Gaslight" the World "does Not Accept the Connection With Recognizing a Palestinian State with the Murders"
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has firmly dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s accusations that Australia’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state contributed to the deadly Hanukkah attack at Bondi Beach, Sydney, which left at least 15 people dead.
“No, I do not accept this connection,” Albanese said, calling the suggestion “an unfounded and dangerous shortcut.” He emphasized that the attack should be seen as an antisemitic terrorist act targeting Australia, not as a justification to politicize international diplomatic decisions.
Suspicion falls on Iran for Bondi Beach terror
The Sydney terror attack may have been carried out by an Iranian-backed foreign terror cell, Israeli authorities believe.
Officials cited Iran as a primary suspect, and said possible links to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas and Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba were also being investigated, according to Israeli media reports.
Australian officials have not publicly confirmed any foreign involvement in the atrocity.
At least 16 people were killed in the country’s worst mass shooting in decades, which targeted a Jewish gathering to celebrate Hanukkah, the festival of lights.
Intelligence sources said the attack on the Bondi Beach celebration appeared to be sophisticated and well-planned, and carried the hallmarks of Unit 910, Hezbollah’s feared external operations arm.
An Iranian link to the attack would follow a pattern of terror plots and attacks in Australia in recent years.
Israel’s Mossad intelligence revealed in October that it had thwarted dozens of terror attacks around the world on Jewish and Israeli targets since Oct 7 2023, in countries including Greece, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Australia.
In August, Australia ordered Iran’s ambassador to leave the country after alleging Tehran had directed attacks against Jewish targets in Sydney and Melbourne, an arson attack on a cafe in Sydney in October 2024, and another on a synagogue in Melbourne in December.
