CNN WON'T CALL ALAN DERSHOWITZ FOR PANEL DISCUSSIONS ANY MORE

Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said in a Wednesday interview on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal that CNN — which he described as an “anti-Trump network,” alongside MSNBC — no longer invites him as a guest following his repeated statements in opposition to Democrat calls for impeaching President Donald Trump.

Dershowitz said:

More and more I’m getting called on only by people who misunderstand and think I’m pro-Trump. I’m not pro-Trump, but it’s been harder for me to get on anti-Trump networks – not that I’m craving to be on television all the time. I have a good life, but it has had an impact on which channels seek my services more often, and that’s changed. I used to be, for example, on CNN more often than on Fox. I was a regular — not paid — but just a person who was on all the time debating with [Jeffrey Toobin]; debating with others.

I haven’t been on CNN, now, since the summer, and Fox calls me all the time. I’d love to be available to people who watch all channels and I try to write op-eds widely for different newspapers and different media.

…

If I had written a case against impeaching Hillary Clinton — if Hillary Clinton had been president — they’d have built a statue to me on Martha’s Vineyard, but instead, my friends on Martha’s Vineyard need trigger warnings. They don’t want to be seen in the same room as me, because my book has been The Case Against Impeaching Donald Trump. There are many reasons I wish Hillary Clinton had been elected president, one of which is, I would’ve kept many more friends if I had written the book The Case Against Impeaching Hillary Clinton, but I want to emphasize, it would’ve been essentially the same book.

Rabbi Yisroel Pinto, Owner of Orot Hotel in Uman Dies at 34

Swine flu has struck the small Israeli Jewish community of Uman, in Ukraine, and taken the life of 34-year-old Rabbi Yisrael Pinto, z’l, according to a report posted on the Hebrew-language Actualic news website.

Rabbi Pinto served as a spiritual leader in Uman’s Breslov community, and was the owner and manager of the Orot Hotel. The rabbi was transferred to Odessa for medical care when his condition began to deteriorate, and when it was obvious that he required better care he was transferred to Israel’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem – but he did not survive.

IDF Jets Strike Hezbollah Leaders & Arms Depot Near Damascus....Airstrike targeted Hezbollah leaders

Israeli warplanes flying over Lebanon fired missiles toward areas near the Syrian capital of Damascus late Tuesday, reportedly striking several leaders of the Hezbollah terror group, hitting an arms depot and wounding three soldiers, Syrian state media reported.

Sanaa News Agency reported that the air defense systems in Syria were activated and shot down some Israeli missiles.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, said Israeli airstrikes targeted three positions south of Damascus that are arms depots for Lebanon’s  Hezbollah terror group and Iranian forces.

In an apparent Hezbollah retaliation, the IDF spokesperson said that the Israeli air defense systems shot down an anti-aircraft missile fired into Israeli airspace and that no damage or injuries were reported.

Women's March leader claims she was kicked out of group for being Jewish as rift becomes so deep that TWO rival protests are to take place on the SAME day next month in New York

A former leader of the Women's March has claimed that she was kicked out of the group because she is Jewish.

Vanessa Wruble, from Brooklyn, left and formed her own group called March On, which is set to hold a protest on the same day as Women's March next month on January 19.

Wruble claims that she confided in the Women's March group that it was her Jewish heritage that inspired her to try to help repair the world.

She alleged that she was told by fellow leaders Tamika Mallory, a black gun control activist, and Carmen Perez, a Latina criminal justice reform activist, that Jews needed to confront their own role in racism before they kicked her out.

The activist told the New York Times that one of the group insisted that centering a Jewish woman at the heart of the campaign may deter other groups such as Black Lives Matter from supporting the movement.     

Wruble's new progressive group states a strong message against anti-Semitism while the Women's March will focus their protest on women of colour this year.

Why Are The Satmar Kestenbaums Hounding Blogger "Lost Messiah?"

Joel Kestenbaum

Louis Kestenbaum

                   

There is a blogger out there called Lost Messiah that is being hounded like a dog by a bunch of rich Satmar Chassidim......

She is Julie Globus,  recently unmasked and outed by the Satmar Kestenbaums that own a company called the Fortis Property Group. 

For two and a half years, the Rockland County resident -- a  wife, mother and attorney -- wrote an anonymous blog under the name Lostmessiah and started investigating the company the Kestenbaums own, The Fortis Property Group, and must have hit the jackpot,  she must have touched a raw nerve.

The Satmar Kestenbaums engaged a major law firm to bring a defamation and libel suit against her, to seek to shut her up. This law suit demanded that their very own documents used to justify their lawsuit be sealed by the court from public view.????

Questions: 
Is there something sinister going on with the Kestenbaums that they are so frightened of Julie Globus??

Why are they insisting that the documents they filed to sue Globus, be sealed????

What are the Kestenbaums hiding???? 

Why are the Kestenbaums threatening anyone that dare ask questions??? 

Why do they insist on hounding Mrs. Globus???

Julie Globus has set up  a GoFundMe page to cover her attorney costs to get the Kestenbaum documents unsealed, if you can find it in your heart to help her out financially, it would be appreciated...

ARCHAEOLOGISTS CONFIRM: Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire and brimstone falling from the sky

A group of archeologists and other scientists say they have discovered strong evidence that the region of the “Middle Ghor,” where the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are believed to have existed, were in fact destroyed by a meteor that exploded in the sky above, raining down superheated matter and raising temperatures to thousands of degrees, a theory that matches the account of the cities’ destruction contained in the Book of Genesis.

According to the theory, the meteor exploded at low altitude with the force of a ten megaton atomic bomb at an altitude of about one kilometer over the northeast corner of the Dead Sea, and obliterated all of civilization in the 25-kilometer-wide circular plain that constitutes the “Middle Ghor.”

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's Daughter Suing Rabbi For Calling Her "Reform."

A law suit in Israel seeks to have the term "Reform" officially recognized as a defamatory insult.

In the libel suit brought by Adina Bar Shalom — a daughter of the former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, Ovadia Yosef – against Rabbi David Benizri, a prominent supporter of the Shas movement whom she said defamed her, the adjective “Reform” is listed among the slights.

The dispute began just after a woman, Dr. Aliza Bloch, was elected mayor of the Jerusalem suburb of Beit Shemesh, which has a significant Charedi population.

Bar Shalom spoke in favor of women’s rights during the campaign, sparking the rabbi’s fury, according to an article published Dec. 16 in the news site Srugim.

Naming the late Yosef, Benizri wrote in a letter to followers:

 “I pity his Reform daughter, the accursed wicked woman, who came here and spoke in the name of the Rabbinate and for the so-called Women’s Council of Beit Shemesh. Bitter will be her day of judgment, bitter will be her day of reproach.”

Benizri, brother of a former Shas lawmaker, quickly realized he had crossed a line in what he wrote about Bar Shalom, whose father was a seminal leader of Shas, and apologized in an op-ed published in the Keren Or local news site.

“I had a complicated few days, including insomnia,” he wrote in a rare apology for a rabbi of his stature. “I never should have said what I did and I feel bad about it. So I want to convey here an apology and I hope she accepts it.”

But Bar Shalom said she has no intention of burying the hatchet, telling Ynet she is preparing a libel suit for $80,000 against Benizri.

“I am not Reform and his intention was to defame me and my family. I will not let it go,” she said. 

“People like him harm the Charedi public terribly and he should learn his lashing out has its price.”

Poisoned Kugel Served At A Kiddush in Beitar Illit!

Mispallalim at the Darchei Torah Shul on HaHozeh M'Lublin Street in Betar Illit detected a chemical flavor in the kugel served at the end of Shabbat morning services, the Kikar Shabbat website reported.

According to the report, some worshipers began to vomit. Shul officials came to the kitchen to examine the scene and discovered a can of K300 insect spray on the kitchen floor.

Shul officials suspect that boys entered the shul's kitchen late on Friday night and sprayed the kugel with poisons they found in the shul's warehouse as a prank.

Shul officials are considering filing a police complaint.

"If You Did Most of a Task, It's As If You Completed It" 

One of the Halachois that is discussed the most in Mesactas Chullin, is the concept of "רובו ככולו" .    

This principle was established by the rabbis, because in some instances, if one does most of a particular  mitzvah, he is exempt from completing it ... and he gets the credit as if he did the entire mitzvah.

Is Trump pulling all US forces out of Syria "Good For The Jews??"

How are we to understand a move that seems to advance the interests of all of the US’s worst enemies at the expense of its closest allies?

US forces were first deployed to Syria in 2014 as part of an international anti-Islamic-State coalition. At the time, then president Barack Obama was engaged in negotiations with the Iranian regime toward the nuclear deal.

Obama’s embrace of Iran was part of an overall strategic realignment of the US away from its traditional Sunni Arab allies and Israel toward Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. As Obama’s deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told an audience of pro-Obama activists at the time, Obama viewed his embrace of Iran through nuclear talks as the central policy of his second term.

Since Sunni ISIS was perceived as hostile to Shi’ite Iran, by fighting ISIS, Obama was achieving two goals: He was helping Iran by getting rid of a powerful adversary in Iraq and Syria, and he was selling the idea to the American public that Iran was their ally in a common war against ISIS.

US forces in Syria were given a very narrow mandate. They were prohibited from taking any action against Iran or Iranian-backed forces.
