Everyone Makes Mistakes Even the Israeli Police

by Shia Getter

Yes, it was my daughter.

You saw her crying on a viral video that circulated internationally, when policemen were trying to issue her a “doch,” a ticket for holding her mask in her hand and not wearing it, as she had just sipped a slush on a hot summer’s day. That was her, hysterically attempting to call my wife and me, as her younger siblings looked on. That was my 13-year-old struggling to get her mask in place as the policemen stood around, filing an official report, and a crowd gathered around her.

Yes, my daughter was harassed by the police — something no child should ever have to go through. And, yes, we agree that policymakers and law enforcement officers need to use (a lot more) common sense and sensitivity. Indeed, we all want our kids to feel that police are there to help and protect them, and not to attack.

But that’s not what I want to focus on.

You see, despite the trauma that day, despite the incredible amount of (unwanted) attention she received, something unbelievably heartwarming came out of this. Basya, my daughter, awakened the tremendous good in people.

Since that incident on July 6, my phone has been ringing incessantly: people from around the world have been calling to express their support, love, and friendship. These are not necessarily people I’m friends with, or even acquainted with. Many are strangers who heard about what we went through and who wanted to stand with us in this time of darkness and confusion. They’re other Jews from across the spectrum of Klal Yisrael, from across the scale of religiosity, people who don’t look at me as a Boyaner chassid or as an Israeli or as someone so vastly different from them. They saw what we went through and they just wanted to express unity, achdus.

Seven Iranian Ships on Fire ..... Israel?

At least seven ships were on fire in the southern Iranian port city of Bushehr, Tasnim reported on Wednesday, adding that the cause of the fires remains unclear.

Efforts are underway to bring the fire under control, IRNA cited Jahangir Dehghani, the head of the crisis management organization for Bushehr province, as saying.

The incident follows a series of explosions which have rocked Iran in recent weeks.

An explosion occurred at an Iranian chemical plant Monday, Iranian media reported.

The blast allegedly occurred at a gas condensate plant in the Kavian Fariman industrial zone in the Razavi Khorasan Province in eastern Iran. The explosion was caused by a fire which broke out at one of the gas tanks.

Firefighters were able to put out the blaze before it spread to other tanks and caused additional explosions. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A gas explosion shook a residential building in Tehran, Iran, on Saturday, injuring one person, Iran's semi-official ISNA reported.

On Friday, IRIB reported that an explosion was heard in Western Tehran, and electricity had been cut in the area around where the explosion occurred.

Two people were killed in an explosion at a Tehran factory on July 7. An explosion caused severe damage at the Natanz nuclear facility on July 2.

In June, an explosion near a military complex in Parchin area southeast of Tehran rocked the Iranian capital. Authorities blamed that blast on "leaking gas tanks."

13 people were killed in an explosion at a medical center in Tehran on June 30. Tehran Deputy Governor Hamid Reza Goudarzi told state TV that the explosion was caused by a gas leak.

Fish with luscious human lips and teeth arouses social media

Trout with a pout?

A fish bearing a bizarre, human-like kisser and teeth has caused social media users to wonder if the luscious-lipped critter even exists.

The viral pic of the critter, which was reportedly caught in Malaysia, was uploaded July 2 by an Indonesian Twitter user with the caption “her lips are hotter than mine.”

Indeed, the photo shows the fish sporting “sultry” soup coolers that are almost identical to an Instagram star’s filler-injected pout. The resemblance is so uncanny that many Twitter users wondered if the viral pic was fake.

“So that thing real?” wondered one flabbergasted commenter.

“This mf got teeth??? Damn!!” exclaimed another about its humanoid chompers.

“Angelina Jolie is shaking,” quipped one Twitter wit in reference to the voluptuous-lipped actress. Another compared them to influencer Kylie Jenner’s supersized smackers. 

Despite looking doctored, the toothy critter may be a real, live triggerfish that inhabits tropical seas around the globe, reports National Geographic. The triggerfish uses its people-like teeth to crunch crabs and sea urchins, which they flip over to get at the soft underbelly beneath, as demonstrated in this fascinating video.

New York A Live Horror Movie... No End In Sight .... Violence... Shootings

The violence is continuing in NYC, with shootings and other attacks continuing with no end in sight, turning the city into a live horror movie.

Overnight, 6 people were shot in one incident in Crown Heights. Police say that at least two gunmen opened fire on six people in front of 1000 President Street. 4 victims were taken by EMS to the hospital, and another two victims were taken by private car. One of those victims was pronounced dead.

An additional four shootings were reported in the past 24 hours as well.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday evening, authorities found the dismembered body of a 33-year-old millionaire tech entrepreneur inside his luxury Manhattan condo. The victim was identified as Fahim Saleh.

On Wednesday morning, the NYPD found the body of a man in a plastic bag on the rooftop of a Bronx McDonald’s Restaurant.

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blames the uptick in crime on “shoplifters” looking to get food for their “hungry families”. In the past 400 shootings in NYC, not ONE was a shoplifter, or a “hungry person” looking for food for their families. They are 99% gang and drug-related incidents.

The shootings come on the heels of Socialist Mayor DeBlasio’s move of disbanding the entire NYPD Anti-Crime Unit, which is directly responsible for getting hundreds of guns off the streets each year, and preventing many shootings.

Black Lives Matter Hate Jews and Israel

Video editor Damon Rosen compiled speeches from a July 1st Black Lives Matter protest in Seattle. 

Damon told Arutz Sheva: 

"I've been aware of the links between the BLM organization and the BDS movement since their first 'delegation to Palestine' back in 2015, as well as their links to CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations and anti-Semite Linda Sarsour."

"Their outright hatred for the State of Israel, their blood libels and growing ties to the Nation of Islam were very troubling to me years ago, and things seem to be getting worse by the day."

"Since the death/murder of George Floyd I've noticed the mainstreaming and acceptance of Louis Farrakhan, the biggest anti-Semite in America, and the sick narrative that today's Jews aren't really Jews. It bothers me tremendously to see the Black community turn against the Jewish community, which was at the forefront of the civil rights movement, while embracing the people who still actually enslave them in the Arab world.

"Their hypocrisy of preaching inclusion, while demonizing Jews and Israel is astounding and troubling. I look at how Jews live in fear in France, and don't want to see the same thing happen in America," Rosen said.

Turns Out That Mary Trump Is the Crazy One..

by  ANDREA PEYSER

Mary Trump has got the wrong man.

Her glitzy, buzzy new book, released Tuesday amid a whirlwind of anger, pain and recrimination, is titled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man.’’

The titular bogeyman is, of course, her uncle, President Donald J. Trump, who’s presented here as a cross between Hannibal Lecter and Bozo the Clown — a frightening and ridiculous figure who looms titanic over every aspect of Mary’s waking and sleeping life. In 214 often bleak, raw and tear-jerking pages, she sets out to avenge the untimely death of her father, Frederick Christ Trump Jr., known as Freddy.

As she tells it, Donald’s once-handsome and vital older brother, the guy bred to run the Trump family real-estate business, died, broken and bitter, in 1981 at age 42. Mary was 16. Both were forced to watch passively, she writes, as Freddy’s dimmer and less-talented little bro not only usurped his birthright and grabbed heaps of cash from his father Fred Sr., but ran the company into the ground before, by some unjust fluke of nature, being elected leader of the free world.

Her reason for telling the tale now is simple and urgent: Mary Trump believes, with the conviction of the Hillary Clinton supporter she was, that she must prevent her uncle’s re-election — by any means necessary.

It is a family tragedy worthy of Shakespeare, and, like The Bard’s work, it is one of fiction. Because, as Mary Trump acknowledges reluctantly, Freddy Trump never wanted to work for Trump Management, and did everything in his power to escape, earning his pilot’s license, buying fishing boats and fancy cars, and attempting to live as something his grandfather sneeringly called a “chauffeur in the sky.’’

Sheldon Silver must appear in NYC courtroom for sentencing, judge rules

Sheldon Silver failed to convince a judge that the coronavirus pandemic makes it too dangerous for him to get re-sentenced in person for his $4 million bribery scheme.

Manhattan federal Judge Valerie Caproni rejected a request by the once-powerful, former Assembly speaker to appear before her by video-conference on Monday.

“The Courthouse has reopened to the public and implemented screening at entry, mask and social-distancing requirements, and sanitation protocols, among other precautions,” Caproni wrote.

“This Court is currently holding in-person proceedings where those measures are all observed. Accordingly, it is the Court’s preference to conduct Mr. Silver’s resentencing at the Courthouse.”

In a letter last month, the Manhattan Democrat’s lawyers claimed that “barring some unforeseen medical breakthrough … it is simply not safe” for Silver, 76, to show up in court because he’s “among the segment of the population most at risk to suffer severe illness and death from this virus.”

In addition, they said, he “suffers from several pre-existing conditions that greatly increase his risk,” including his “diagnosis and treatment for cancer within the past five years.”

Silver was found guilty of corruption charges in 2015 and was sentenced to seven years in prison, but was allowed to remain free while he mounted an appeal that resulted in his conviction being overturned on a technicality.

He was convicted a second time in 2018, but again remained free for another appeal that resulted in some of the counts being dismissed.

Silver — who’s collecting a $7,000-a-month pension — last month pleaded for leniency in a desperate, hand-written letter to the judge.

“Your Honor, I do not want to die in prison,” he wrote.

“This case has been going on for more than 5 years, but I feel like I have aged 15 or 20 years. My fate is in your hands.”

Pelosi Endorses Omar the Black Somalian Anti-Semite For Re-election To Minnesota Seat

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has endorsed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for re-election in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, announced Omar’s campaign on Monday.

In touting endorsements from Pelosi and Minnesota House of Representatives Speaker Melissa Hortman, Omar’s campaign said in a statement that the congresswoman “now has the support of the Democratic leaders of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Minnesota legislature, representing the support of the state and national Democratic party at the highest levels.”

Omar has perpetuated anti-Semitic tropes on Twitter and introduced a resolution in Congress that promotes boycotts of Israel, likening them to boycotts of Nazi Germany.

In February 2019, a month after being sworn in, Omar accused AIPAC of paying members of Congress to back Israel, saying it was “all about the Benjamins.”

Bari Weiss NYT Editor Called "Nazi" by Colleagues Resigns With Open Scathing Letter

New York Times opinion columnist and editor Bari Weiss announced Tuesday she is leaving the NY Times, saying she was bullied by colleagues in an “illiberal environment,” weeks after declaring there was a “civil war” inside the paper.

Weiss published a scathing resignation letter that she sent to Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger on her personal website, noting she doesn’t understand how toxic behavior is allowed inside the newsroom and “showing up for work as a centrist at an American newspaper should not require bravery.”

Before joining the Times, Bari was an op=ed editor at the Wall Street Journal and an associate book review editor there. For two years, she was a senior editor at Tablet, the online magazine of Jewish news, politics, and culture, where she edited the site’s political and news coverage.

The following is her resignation letter, which was published on her website:

Deceased U.S. cat gets voter registration application in mail

Cody the Cat z"l

With just a few months to go until the 2020 presidential election, a family in Atlanta, Georgia recently received a voter registration application in their mailbox.

But the intended recipient of the application wasn't exactly ready and able to register to vote. Ron Tims told WAGA-TV that he checked the mail on Wednesday to discover the voter registration application was addressed to Cody Tims, the family's pet cat that died 12 years ago.

"A great cat, indoor and outdoor, loved his family, loved his neighborhood. He was 18 and a half when he passed away," Carol Tims said.

The Tims family, who keeps Cody's ashes in a green container, said they were both surprised and amused at the mishap.

"There’s a huge push but if they’re trying to register cats, I’m not sure who else they’re trying to register. I’m not sure if they’re trying to register dogs, mice, snakes," Carol joked.

The Secretary of State’s Office told WAGA-TV in a statement that the application did not come from its office and that third-party groups often use mailing lists to get names and addresses.

"Third-party groups all over the country are targeting Georgia to help register qualified individuals," the statement said. "This group makes you wonder what these out-of-town activists are really doing. Make no mistake about it, this office is dedicated to investigating all types of fraud."

The Secretary of State’s Office also confirmed that had Cody been alive, he wouldn't have been able to vote if he showed up to the polls in November.

The reason why? Because he doesn't have a license or state ID, of course.

If you’re wondering how Cody would have voted if he could go to the polls. His owner said he was a DemoCAT.

The vanishing pro-Israel Jewish Liberal Democrat

Eliot Engel with the Tuchis Lekker 

Is it possible to be an American Jew who proudly and emphatically supports the State of Israel while embracing the values of the left? 

The takeover of the Democratic Party by the ideologues of intersectionality and other far-left philosophies is making this proposition increasingly untenable.

Recent developments have rendered public representatives of the liberal but pro-Israel approach a nearly endangered political species. 

This trend, which shows every sign of gathering momentum, will have implications not only for American politics but for the American Jewish community itself.

The recent nationwide unrest and nearly wholesale adoption by Democrats of the radical ideology fueling it have made it apparent to all but the most fervent denialists that postmodern progressivism refuses to accommodate the kind of support for Israel that was once practically taken as a given.

Few politicians have exemplified the combination of liberalism and support for Israel the way congressman Eliot Engel (D) has during his more than 30 years on Capitol Hill, most recently representing New York’s 16th district.

It now appears that his career came to a sudden end with the closing of the polls in his party’s recent primary. 

As of this writing, although mail-in ballots are still being counted, it seems extremely unlikely that Engel will overcome the lead of his far-left challenger, Jamaal Bowman. By the time this article is posted, the final results will probably be known.

Like the Nazis Houthis are Now Rounding up Yemen's Jews

The Houthi rebel group in Yemen arrested Jews in the Kharif District of the 'Amran Governorate northwest of Sana'a as part of "ethnic cleansing" efforts as well as looting money from various sects and groups, according to the Egyptian Al-Mesryoon newspaper.

Local sources from Kharif told Al-Mesryoon that the Houthis had rounded up the Jews and imprisoned them due to their religion and were pressuring them to leave Yemen.

They forced the Jews to sign pledges to sell their homes, land and property to Houthi leaders at nominal prices and then leave the country.

The Houthis have reportedly persecuted the few Jews left in Yemen by cutting off their water and electricity and preventing them from purchasing food. The rebel group uses similar practices against non-Shi'ite Yemenis and Yemenis from other religions, according to Al-Mesryoon.

Most of Yemen's Jewish population was airlifted out of the country soon after the State of Israel was founded. Most of those who remained have left the country as well, leaving only a handful of Jews who have refused to leave.

Yemen’s Information Minister Moammer al-Iryani stated in 2017 that the state of the 50 or so remaining Jews in the country was "unknown."

A popular Houthi slogan includes the phrase "Curse the Jews."

Israeli Men Will Have to Spend Time With Their Families this Rosh Hashana ... No Uman

The Ukrainian government will not permit Israelis to make the annual Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to the tomb of a 19th century Hasidic rebbe, Ukrainian officials announced Tuesday.

Every year, tens of thousands of Israelis travel to the central Ukrainian town of Uman to visit the resting place of Rebbe Nachman, the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement whose grave has become a popular pilgrimage destination.

This year, however, Ukraine will not permit the mass pilgrimage, citing the resurgence of the coronavirus pandemic in Israel.

Due to the second wave of the virus in Israel, the European Union has placed the Jewish state on its “red list” of states with whom direct travel is heavily restricted.

Ukrainian officials also said the decision was made due to the lack of adequate hospital facilities in and around Uman to handle a major outbreak of the coronavirus.

“We want to make clear that this has nothing to do with politics or anti-Semitism, and we reject any claims which try to present it as such.”
