All Voters in Israel just had their data leaked in ‘grave’ security breach

All 6.5 million voters in Israel have just had their personal data leaked, reports the New York Times. The full names, addresses, and identity card numbers are among the information that was leaked about every eligible voter in the country. In some cases, phone numbers were also leaked.

The leak happened through a vulnerability of the website promoting an app called Elector. The app itself, however, did not leak the data. The NYT says a flaw was found on the website of the app that allowed anyone to right-click on the website to view its source code. Inside that source code was the user names and passwords for the website’s admins. Anyone who found these usernames and passwords could then log into the site and download a database with information for every voter in Israel.

The flaw in the website was discovered on Friday by an anonymous tipster who disclosed the vulnerability to the Haaretz newspaper. It’s unknown whether anyone actually took advantage of the flaw; however, doing so would take no hacking skills whatsoever. Anyone who knew about the flaw could access the data with a few clicks.

After news of the flaw broke, Elector issued a statement to Israeli news media claiming that the event was a “one-off incident that was immediately dealt with.

Lipa Schmeltzer Sells His Shul

Singer Lipa Schmeltzer has sold his house and shul to a Satmar chossid who will turn the shul into a Chassidishe shteibel.

The house and shul located on Moray Street in the town of Airmont, New York, includes a tunnel connecting them underground.

Schmeltzer founded the shul about 10 years ago and built it with an artistic design and a unique musical style: musical instruments on the windows, and a harp-shaped Ahron Hakodesh.

“I sold it a lot less than I wanted to, and that’s fine too,” Lipa told Kikar Shabbos. “I am glad that there is someone who will continue to do what I did in this shul – bringing people closer to the Torah and the Mitzvos.”

Question:
Lipa.....Wasn't the shul built from money collected from wealthy and not so wealthy donors?

Did they in fact donate the money to you personally?

Or was the money donated for a shul to be built...

"You sold it a lot less that I wanted to?"

Wasn't this money "hekdish?"

Or is this your personal money?

Why is Lipa Schmeltzer Running Around Trying to Get Rabbonim to Sign Against Rabbi Shmiel Naiman?

We discussed previously that there is a Rabbi in Monsey, Rabbi Shmiel Neiman, who understands people, understands the mindset of the Chareidie world,  and who has given over 800 Shiurim discussing Shalom Bayis, Halachos, Minhagim, the differences of Halacha and Minhagim... etc etc..and who continues to draw gigantic crowds
.....is being harassed... by the Monsey Askanim and actually managed to get him fired from the Viznitzer Yeshiva after having given shiurim there for over 28 years!

He is the son of the well known Viznitzer Dayan, Harav Nissin Naiman shlitah..

Well davka, because he actually makes a lot of sense, some Monsey askanim felt threatened and got a "kol korah" signed by prominent Gedoilim against him, accusing him of heresy..

What wasn't reported or said was that practically all the Gedoilim that signed this "kol korah" denied ever signing it and some Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva that reportedly signed the "kol korah" don't know who he is and never even heard of him...

The backers of Harav Neiman had enough of these "do gooders" askanim and their BS and their bulling tactics and so they opened a shul in the heart of Monsey and appointed him Rav with a large stipend to boot!

Not so fast ... 
the same "askanim" that had harassed Lipa Schmeltzer when he with good humor wrote songs that brought out the hypocrisy of the Chareidie world... and became "oif'ge'klert" ..... made his life so miserable that he could no longer make a parnassah in his own chassidic circles ..

have now, that he converted back to the chassidic society.... recruited him to run around like a poisoned rat to get genuine signatures to continue the harassment of an innocent Rabbi that is slowly but surely changing the backward mindset of the Chassidic world ...to bring them to reality of the 20th century ....

If this rumor is in fact true, then Lipa has learned nothing from his experiencies .... and has now become the "tuchis lekker' for these sick askanim who apparently feel threatened by a potential Gadol Yisroel with a real message to Klall Yisroel ...

Chassidim have a lot to contribute to society and the Torah Velt ...
and so does Harav Shmiel Naiman! 
Let him be ...

Jona Rechnitz and his Kardashian Connections

A former crony of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is accused of using his alleged links to the Kardashians to lure victims in a diamond fraud scheme.

Jona Rechnitz, who was already sentenced to 10 months jail after pleading guilty in a corruption scheme, is now facing a separate fraud lawsuit involving $15million in gems.

Although they have no direct connections to the alleged scheme, Rechnitz shared footage of himself partying with Kim Kardashian at a November jewelry show in New York in an attempt to convince a judge to 'go easy on him' during December's sentencing. 

In this latest fraud, however, Rechnitz is alleged to have used the jewelry show as a way to draw in more victims to his fraud.

AIPAC Cowards APOLOGIZE for ads calling Democrats ‘radicals’ pushing ‘anti-Semitic’ policies

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, "Jewish Cowards" apologized for and removed at least four Facebook ads that slammed “radical” Democrats in Congress, including one that said Israel’s harshest critics in Congress pose a threat “maybe more sinister” than ISIS and other terror groups.

In a statement posted Saturday on Twitter, the lobby offered its “unequivocal apology to the overwhelming majority of Democrats in Congress who are rightfully offended by the inaccurate assertion that the poorly worded, inflammatory advertisement implies.”

The AIPAC apology was attached to an earlier tweet by Eli Clifton, an investigative journalist who first brought one of the Facebook ads to light. An AIPAC official told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency the apology applied also to another three inflammatory Facebook ads. 

AIPAC rarely if ever apologizes for its content.

Biden Calls a Lady "Lying Dog-Faced Pony"

New York Times Wipes Israel off the Map

Today’s New York Times, ran a front page article on Egypt and the Nile River and featured a map of the Middle East and Africa that named every country except one – the State of Israel.  A blank spot was left in the area that should have had the name “Israel” on it.

Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and the Sudan are all named.  Israel, which received its independence in 1948 was left out.

 The New York Times has a habit of distorting its reporting about Israel, 

According to Camera.org, “Again and again, the newspaper distorts the news, downplays inconvenient facts, and departs from journalistic norms. 

The article dealt with a new dam that threatens the Nile River.

Was Berland Involved In Disappearance Of Teenager 30 Years Ago ?

Israeli Police are currently investigating suspicions that followers of Rabbi Eliezer Berland, the leader of the Shuvu Banim movement, were involved in the disappearance of a 17-year-old boy some 30 years ago.

The missing teenager in question was Nissim Shitrit, who disappeared in Jerusalem in 1986. Shitrit was a student in a Yeshiva in Ashdod and a few weeks before he disappeared, he complained to the police that he had been attacked by “Tzniayus Police”.

The police received information from Khan 11 reporter Shani Haziza, information that apparently links followers of Rabbi Berland’s to the mysterious disappearance. Police have begun to question numerous affiliates of Rabbi Berland’s with regards to the disappearance.

On Sunday, Rabbi Berland and his wife were arrested and taken into police custody on the suspicion of exploiting ill people and their families, as well as financial crimes such as money laundering, and tax evasion on funds whose sum is in the hundreds of millions of shekels.

During the arrest, which occurred at 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, students of Rabbi Berland threw rocks at police officers in an attempt to prevent the arrest. Two officers were injured.

According to his lawyer, neither Rabbi Berland nor his wife impeded the arrest in any way.

Rav-Kav Being Replaced by Apps, Bracelets

The Rav-Kav transportation card will be losing its relevance in April, as new applications will begin allowing public transportation users to pay with their phone instead. While the card will still work, the apps will most likely be worth the switch, according to The Marker.

The current system allows users to charge their Rav-Kav with either a stored value or a contract. The stored value is used like a debit card on buses and trains, with each trip withdrawing the price of a ticket from the stored value. Contracts come in a variety of forms and are based on time and area, with options for monthly, weekly and daily contracts covering trains and buses in cities, regions or the entire country.

The new system will monitor how users travel and will choose the cheapest option based on their travel at the end of each month. If, for example, a user travels multiple times between multiple cities throughout the month, the payment application will charge the user for a monthly contract in the region he traveled. If, however, the user only travels between two cities or with multiple types of transport on one day, the application will charge them for a day contract in that area.

Convicted Sex Fiend Berland arrested Again ...

Rabbi Eliezer Berland, a convicted sex offender and leader of the Shuvu Banim Breslov community, was arrested Sunday morning in a police raid on his home on suspicion of fraudulent receipt and tax offenses. His wife and senior members of the Shuvu Banim community were detained for questioning. 

Following a covert investigation, police forces raided the homes of six suspected offenders. 

The investigation focused on two main issues. The first was criminal - gathering evidence and testimony against the 18-20-year Jerusalem suspects who allegedly exploited hundreds of civilians and their families by demanding tens of thousands of shekels in exchanges for blessings of healing.

The second track was economic - investigators managed to uncover a variety of alleged money laundering offenses, including tax evasion with millions of shekels. The money was purportedly laundered using dozens of bank accounts.

Chareidie Who Raped His Own Sister Is Upset That He Was Arrested On Shabbos

This "holy" Jew is yelling and screaming to the Israeli Press that the cops could have waited until Motzeit Shabbos to arrest him ..

I think he is right ... what was the hurry since he had been raping his sister for years?

I guess he learned a new lesson... that the Mishtara... isn't going to ask a shaaleh from Rav Tuvia Weiss or Rav Sternbach ...whether they can arrest a serial rapist on Shabbos...

They arrest when it's least expected..!

Here they were right ... I hope he made Kiddush before and got some Schmaltz herring in because he won't be making kiddush for a very long time!

Trump Fires Vindman the Ukrainan Born Official Who Testified On Impeachment

Exacting swift punishment against those who crossed him, an emboldened President Donald Trump ousted two government officials who had delivered damaging testimony against him during his impeachment hearings. The president took retribution just two days after his acquittal by the Senate.

First came news Friday that Trump had ousted Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the Ukranian born soldier and national security aide who played a central role in the Democrats’ impeachment case.

Vindman’s lawyer said his client was escorted out of the White House complex Friday, told to leave in retaliation for “telling the truth.”

“The truth has cost Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman his job, his career, and his privacy,” attorney David Pressman said in a statement. Vindman’s twin brother, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, also was asked to leave his job as a White House lawyer on Friday, the Army said in a statement. Both men were reassigned to the Army.

Of course anyone who listened to his testimony came away with the feeling that Vindman was a little nothing in the White House basement who wanted to destroy his boss the President of the US.

Next came word that Gordon Sondland, Trump’s ambassador to the European Union, also was out.

“I was advised today that the President intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Sondland said in a statement.

New York Man Who Was Set to Testify Against MS-13 FOUND DEAD! Under NEW NY Law .. Criminals Get to Know Who Called Police

A New York man willing to testify against MS-13 members who attacked him in 2018 was found dead earlier this week after his identity was disclosed to defendants’ attorneys in pre-trial proceedings, police say.

The bludgeoned body of 36-year-old Wilmer Maldonado Rodriguez was found Sunday outside an abandoned home in New Cassel, the Nassau County Police Department announced Wednesday. Investigators said Rodriguez in October 2018 came to the defense of two boys who were being threatened by the gang — only to be beaten with a bat and stabbed, according to Newsday.

"This courageous man was prepared to testify against his alleged assailants at an upcoming trial, but he was brutally beaten to death before he could," Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement provided to the newspaper.

"This case underscores the importance of safeguarding the identities of witnesses and victims of crime and our hearts are with Mr. Maldonado’s family and friends as we grieve his loss.”

Singas says prosecutors tried to keep Rodriguez’s identity secret by obtaining a protective order in December 2018.

Trump proudly displays 'Acquitted' headlines, mere feet from Pelosi at prayer breakfast

President Trump proudly displayed two newspapers with blaring “Acquitted” headlines Thursday morning, waving them before a National Prayer Breakfast audience in his first appearance since he was declared not guilty in his Senate impeachment trial.

The president brandished the headlines mere feet from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., after both arrived at the breakfast.

Trump first picked up a USA Today newspaper and presented it before the audience. He then put it down and picked up a copy of Thursday’s Washington Post, which had a similar headline.

He later addressed the audience and took some not-so-subtle swipes at Pelosi once more.

"I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong, nor do I like people who say 'I pray for you' when you know that is not so," he said. Pelosi had publicly said during the impeachment process that she and fellow Democrats were "prayerful" and that she prays for the president.

Trump also called impeachment a "terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people."

For Trump, the moment was payback not only for impeachment but her conduct at the close of Tuesday's State of the Union address.
