Orlando Double Booking Nightmare Continues; People Finding Out Two Days Before Pesach

 STORY SENT TO YWN: “I am a family with 6 children and literally just pulled into my rented house driveway 15 minutes ago in Orlando (after a 19 hour drive) and our boxes which were delivered by a truck, were in a pile outside — and another family was living inside the house!”

 STORY SENT TO YWN: “We just drove 20 hrs and got here and we’re shocked to find out our house was “double booked. We have been in contact with the company for weeks and they did not mention a thing. We literally pulled in and asked for the house code and we’re told I’m sorry your reservation no longer exists. This is truly a disaster for us.”

 STORY SENT TO YWN: “My children flew in from Israel to be in Orlando and we booked tickets to be with her. We haven’t seen them in a year and half. Our home was confirmed, airlines tickets car rental food was ordered. Two weeks later our villa was cancelled saying credit card invalid. There was already a charge put through….”

 STORY SENT TO YWN: “I got scammed. Booked in January, just got cancelled today. Booked via VRBO, property #8123377ha, Host name Kevin Henry, Booked January 6th, Canceled March 23rd.”

 STORY SENT TO YWN: “I booked a house on Airbnb. When I heard about the double booking, I told my cousin who was there already to check and to make sure the house empty.

Whistleblower Michael Kraus a Nursing home administrator gets visit from health inspector after calling Cuomo order 'ridiculous'

 A New York nursing home was visited by the state's Department of Health days after Fox News reported on the administrator's alleged early warning about the impact of Gov. Cuomo's executive order.

The visit, according to Kraus, started at around 9 a.m. ET Tuesday and stretched at least past 3 p.m. ET. It's unclear why exactly the visit occurred, but Kraus said the health department asked about a resident possibly running away.

"So far it seems to be just a coincidence and not retaliation," he told Fox News via text. "They didn't find any problems."

Last week, Fox News aired a story with Kraus describing his remarks during a conference call with other directors, state officials and hospital leaders.

"I said that's ridiculous," he said, recalling his reaction to the March 25 order. "We can't be doing this. It's just not right to the residents."

He added that he vocalized his concerns during phone conversations but stopped bringing it up afer he was shot down.

"I did vocalize it," he said. "And then once it was shot down, I never spoke again."

Cuomo's order has landed him in hot water as critics argued that it put nursing home residents' lives in danger.

Kraus told Fox News that the department had made three coronavirus-related visits to his facility, in addition to Tuesday's.

Netanyahu has a lock on the premiership

By  Yifat Erlich

 After four separate attempts, it's safe to say that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot be deposed by his political rivals. He'll be sticking around for as long as he wants the job. The left-wing camp's struggle to replace him began with the boisterous raising of blue and white and then black flags and ended with the white flag of surrender.

When those vying for the crown came from the Right, Netanyahu was left the central actor in the arena. Many on the Right, myself included, thought that Netanyahu, despite his special talents and incredible contribution to the state, had become a burden to the Right and the reason for the political instability. Many believed the time had come to pass the torch to a younger leader from the nationalist camp, someone who hadn't had any indictments filed against them and who had the ability to heal the rifts in Israeli society. New Hope leader Gideon Sa'ar tried and failed to replace Netanyahu from within the Likud and then tried from the outside. Yamina leader Naftali Bennett joined in these attempts. Both of them did exceptionally well in the polls but crashed on Election Day. They both should be thankful Netanyahu is the leader that earned the most public trust and should cease and desist in their attempts to succeed him in office.

A very good leader, someone on Netanyahu's scale, can only become excellent if they are wise enough to train the next generation of leaders. For over a decade, Netanyahu has tried to dwarf and push out anyone who shows leadership promise. It was in this way that Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Lieberman, Telem head Moshe Ya'alon, Kulanu leader Moshe Kahlon, Sa'ar, Bennett and his fellow party member Ayelet Shaked, all of whom came from the Likud and whose ideology matches that of the Likud, were pushed out. They all could have stayed in Likud had Netanyahu wanted them to. Now with one more term in office ahead of him, the time has come for Netanyahu to conduct himself differently. It will be difficult to bring Sa'ar back to the Likud. He needlessly went on television and signed a contract saying he would not join a Netanyahu-led government. Sa'ar has a few options. He can remain loyal to his contract and warm the benches over on the opposition, he can break his word and follow in Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz's footsteps, or he can retire from political life once and for all. In my opinion, he will opt for the latter. Once Sa'ar is out of the picture, some New Party representatives will find themselves connecting to a right-wing coalition headed by Netanyahu.

Yamina's leaders, on the other hand, can and should be brought back into the Likud. Like it or not, Yamina is a second-rate Likud, just as New Hope is a third-rate version. Bennet must admit his dreams of serving as prime minister will only be realized as part of a wider and more established movement such as the Likud. Netanyahu would be wise to open the door to Yamina party heads instead of dwarfing their leadership, while at the same time bringing his potential successors in the Likud into the party leadership. That same developing leadership will be able to lead the State of Israel when the time comes, in precisely another four years. Don't you dare call us to the ballot box one minute sooner.

Absentee ballots hold key to elections as Likud holds 30-seat lead, Ra'am drops to 4

 

With nearly four million votes counted by 6 a.m. Thursday, the political map is beginning to stabilize. Meretz goes up to six seats; Yamina holds linchpin position.

The Central Election Committee on Thursday began counting the double envelopes holding hundreds of thousands of votes that could be worth as many as 12 seats.

As of 8:40  a.m., 93.4% of the votes cast in the March 23 elections have been counted. The results so far are as follows:

These results give the right-wing bloc 52 mandates and the Center-Left bloc 56 seats. Yamina and Ra'am hold the key to the elections, as they can side with either bloc.

Voter turnout in this year's election was particularly low, with only 67.2% – the lowest in the last four election campaigns.

Central Election Committee head Orly Adas said the final results are likely to come in on Friday.

Teen suffers severe burns after iPhone charger allegedly catches fire on bed

 

High-tech turned to high hell for a teenage girl whose iPhone charger allegedly burst into flames while in her bed, leaving her with severe facial burns. 

Amie Hall, 17, was nodding off early Thursday morning when she noticed a bright orange blaze radiating from her duvet. 

“So 2 a.m. this morning I was lying down as you do on my phone. Plugged in my charger and it set alight,” wrote Hall — who lives with her parents in Birmingham, England — on Facebook. 

“My bed cover/duvet set on fire and also caught my face. This isn’t even a cheap charger, it’s an Apple charger.”

According to Jam Press, Hall jumped out of bed, narrowly evading the flames. Despite her quick escape, she did suffer a nasty burn on her right cheek. 

“I ran out of my room and shouted [for] my mum, and luckily, she managed to put out the fire without the need to call the fire brigade,” Hall said in a statement. 

“The burn was very sore, but I know it could have been more serious. The flames just caught me as it burnt through my duvet.”

Hall is now advising others against charging their phones in bed overnight. 

“Please don’t go to bed and leave your phone charging overnight,” the teen warned on Facebook, captioning grisly images of the fire’s damage to her face and bedding. 

“If I was asleep, this could have been a lot worse and this could have set my whole family home up with all my family in,” she added. 

“Please be aware that this can happen to anyone and could be a lot worse. It’s dangerous. Please share.”

It’s unclear whether Hall’s charging system — reportedly consisting of an Apple cord and non-brand wall adapter — or faulty wiring in her family’s home may have caused the blaze. 

However, a spokeswoman for Apple released a statement in the wake of the incident, saying: “Apple takes customer safety very seriously, is in touch with the customer and looking into the matter.”

The company has also published tips on safe charging practices, noting that restoring a phone’s battery in poorly ventilated spaces or where moisture is present could create a fire hazard.

Will Likud form a government with United Arab List? Likkud Is falling Short of 61 Seats with 87% Votes Counted

 

With the Likud and its allies falling short of the 61 seats necessary for a Knesset majority, some in the party are calling for the Likud to open coalition negotiations with the United Arab List (Ra’am) to secure their support for the formation of a new Netanyahu-led government.

But that plan has divided the Likud and sparked a fierce public debate between Likud lawmakers.

MK Shlomo Karhi, who is staunchly opposed to relying on the UAL’s support to form a government, on Wednesday blasted Minister Tzachi HaNegbi, after HaNegbi called to open talks with the UAL’s chief, MK Mansour Abbas.

“We are prepared to enter into negotiations with Mansour Abbas, even if he is in the Opposition,” HaNegbi told Channel 12 Wednesday morning. “Why shouldn’t it happen? Let him [Abbas] vote for [our government], we have no problem with that. He won’t be a part of our coalition or government.”

Karhi responded on Twitter, writing: “No way, absolutely not.”

When HaNegbi was later asked to respond to Karhi’s tweet, the minister mocked Karhi, saying, “Remind me who that is? I’ll Google his name later.”

Karhi fired back, saying: “In my opinion it is better to be looked up on Google as an unknown person, then to be looked up on Google and to be embarrassed.”

“As a person who lives on the Gaza frontier, I can say that HaNegbi has also been unaware of people living in the Gaza area, like when missiles were fired at us, and he said that it doesn’t matter so much to him, since it wasn’t Tel Aviv. Who knows if Tzachi HaNegbi didn’t stay in the Likud to work as a mole for Gideon Sa’ar, and now wants to form a government with a terrorist supporter.”

“What will happen when they launch missiles at us and we need Abbas’ permission to fight in Gaza? He’ll throw us in the garbage! He’s a person who does not belong in a right-wing government. I don’t understand this, it’s a total embarrassment.”

The current vote count shows the Likud and its potential allies on the Right winning 59 seats, including seven for the Yamina faction. The United Arab List is projected to win five seats, and has hinted it may be prepared to support a Likud-led government from outside of the coalition.

“We’re in no one’s pocket,” said MK Abbas. “We’re prepared to negotiate with anyone.”

MK Moshe Gafni: 'We'll demand equal budget for hareid yeshivas'...For Chareidim It's All About the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Notice his priorities .... First $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ then maybe conversion issue... then maybe Shabbat!

 United Torah Judaism chief MK Moshe Gafni has demanded that the budget for haredi yeshivas be equal to that of Religious Zionist yeshivas.

"We owe thanks to G-d," Gafni said at a Tuesday night post-elections event in Bnei Brak, referring to the results of Israel's elections.

Regarding what he would demand as part of coalition deals, Gafni said: "We will demand that the budget for haredi yeshivas be equal to the budget for Religious Zionist yeshivas. There will be no discrimination."

Regarding conversions to Judaism, he said: "They want that conversions will not be on condition of accepting the Commandments, as required by Jewish law. There will not be what happened previously - that we asked to regulate the Supreme Court's power, and it didn't happen."

"We will continue to fight for the general public. We want Israel to remain a Jewish and democratic state, that Shabbat (the Sabbath) should remain Shabbat, that its status should be preserved. We will not allow a coalition without these issues [being solved]."

Housing Minister Yakov Litzman, also of UTJ, promised: "We will work to form a right-wing government as soon as possible."

On Tuesday night, Gafni rejected a phone call from Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, since he felt that Netanyahu had preferred Religious Zionism's MK Bezalel Smotrich over himself."

Biden Torpedoes Abraham Accords Summit to pursue deal with Iran

 

Media reports on March 18 revealed that the United Arab Emirates has suspended its plans for an Abraham Accords summit in Abu Dhabi with Israel, the United States, and other Arab signatories to the historic peace agreements brokered by the Donald Trump administration. 

Supposedly, the Emiratis are angry with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for using the UAE’s de facto leader Mohammed bin Zayed as a “prop in his election campaign.”

In fact, as the theme of “election interference” should make clear (the UAE doesn’t have elections), and as has been substantiated by Israeli reporting, the source of the upset isn’t in Abu Dhabi but in Washington. 

In other words, the Biden administration is interfering in Israel’s upcoming election by strong-arming the Emiratis into publicly distancing themselves from Bibi.

Next week Israel will hold its fourth election in a little more than two years, so in effect Netanyahu has been campaigning for more than 24 months—including in August when he and MBZ signed the agreement. Should the Emiratis have shunned the deal since Netanyahu, like any Israeli prime minister, would invariably present his accomplishment to voters? What about sending an ambassador to Israel, as it did at the beginning of March? What about investing $10 billion, as MBZ told Netanyahu he would? So how does a photo op with the prime minister glad-handing the crown prince of Abu Dhabi on his home turf cross the line?

Evidence is mounting that pedophile rings have infiltrated Israel's Charedi communities.

 

by Adina Kutnicki

Back in January 2020, 'The hidden crime of pedophilia' was featured at Israel National News. Its overriding basis exposed a growing, although heretofore silent, threat inside the overall Jewish community - both within Israel and outside its borders. At the same time, embedded analyses zeroed in on an especially vulnerable target: children in Charedi communities.

For well over a decade, youngsters within the Jerusalem neighborhoods of Nachlaot and Sanhedria have been victimized by a ring of pedophiles who infiltrated those neighborhoods. 

How can this be? 

In no uncertain terms, this is the most urgent question of all. Yes, law enforcement and the political hierarchy have much to account for.

Still yet, even with said unfathomable 'failure to protect' laid bare, there is a modicum of hope to be found in this agonizing and delicate arena - albeit it exists outside of Israel. As stated within last year's article, strides have been made to tackle this insidious scourge, that is, with the assistance of a particularly courageous individual (alongside others) and a leading communal organization: namely, Rabbi Yossi Jacobson, as well as the Jewish Community Watch

Biden Plans to Cut Israel Into a “Nine-Miles-Wide Plan”

 The Biden administration reportedly intends to demand that Israel return to the nine-miles-wide pre-1967 armistice lines. Should we be surprised? How dangerous would that be? And what should American Jews do about it?

According to numerous media reports, an outline of the Biden plan has been prepared by Hady Amr, the deputy assistant secretary for Israeli and Palestinian Affairs. Amr worked on the same issues during the Obama administration. So, it’s hardly surprising that the plan he has drafted reflects the same positions that were taken when Barack Obama was president and Joe Biden was vice president.

The central theme of Biden’s Israeli-Palestinian policy in the short term, according to the Amr memo, will be a series of rewards to be given to the Palestinian Authority, even though the P.A. has done absolutely nothing to merit any of them.

Despite the P.A.’s financial support for terrorists, harboring of fugitive terrorists, constant anti-Jewish incitement and unrelenting anti-American propaganda, the Biden administration intends to “reset the U.S. relationship with the Palestinian people and leadership” by

1. Sending the P.A. at least $15 million monthly ($180 million annually) as “humanitarian assistance,” starting in “late March or early April.”
2. Soon expanding that P.A. aid package to include “a full range of economic, security and humanitarian assistance,” including funds for the corrupt, pro-terrorist UNRWA agency. By “security” aid, Amr undoubtedly means the pro-terrorist, de facto army that the P.A. calls its “security services.”
3. Resuming diplomatic contacts with P.A. officials by reopening the PLO embassy in Washington, D.C., and using the old (but still functioning) American consulate in Jerusalem as a de facto embassy to the Palestinians.“engage” in the diplomatic process.
4. Resuming “country of origin labeling,” which means declaring that goods made in much of Jerusalem, as well as Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights, will be forced to carry “Made in Palestine” labels since the Biden administration has decided that all those areas belong to the Palestinian Arabs.

In return, the Biden administration intends to make two laughably inadequate “demands” of the P.A. First, it will seek “to obtain a Palestinian commitment” to stop paying terrorists, which will probably be as genuine and durable as all the previous P.A. commitments to stop aiding terrorists.

Second, Biden will “emphasize to the P.A.” the need for “reductions of arrests of bloggers and dissidents.” What a joke! The P.A. won’t even be expected to stop arresting dissidents; it just has to arrest a few less.

What’s most important, however, is the end goal of the Biden plan. Amr’s draft says that all of the above steps are “a means to advance the prospects of a negotiated two-state solution … based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed land swaps.”

In plain English, that means a sovereign “State of Palestine” in all, or nearly all, of Judea and Samaria, and the Gaza Strip (and part of Jerusalem). The “land swaps” phrase can be disregarded. It’s nonsense; obviously, if Israel and the P.A. ever wanted to “swap land”—which they don’t—they don’t need a plan by U.S. President Joe Biden to do it.

The plan is, put simply, the “Nine-Miles Wide Plan.” It has to be. Because any Palestinian state has to include the third-largest P.A. city, Tulkarm, and the fifth-largest P.A. city, Qalqilya. The P.A. is not going to make those cities part of Israel. So, they will be part of “Palestine.” Tulkarm and Qalqilya are nine miles from the Mediterranean Sea. Israel won’t even be as wide as Washington, D.C.—or the Bronx, N.Y.

One terrifying anecdote from 1967 tells you all you need to know about the dangers of Biden’s “Nine-Miles Wide Plan.” On the eve of the Six-Day War, as hostilities seemed increasingly likely, numerous Israeli mothers residing along the coast kept their children home from school. Why? Because they knew that the country could be sliced in two by a Jordanian tank column in a matter of minutes, and they didn’t want their children to be trapped on the other side. Imagine living with that kind of fear.

What should American Jews do? Turn to all our tried-and-true methods of lobbying and protest. Write letters. Make phone calls. Urge Jewish organizations to speak out. Do it now—while there is still time. Let the Biden administration see that we will not accept its deadly plan.

Stephen M. Flatow is a vice president of the Religious Zionists of America, an attorney in New Jersey and the father of Alisa Flatow, who was murdered in an Iranian-sponsored Palestinian terrorist attack in 1995. He is the author of “A Father’s Story: My Fight for Justice Against Iranian Terror.”

A Muslim Kills 10 People in Colorado and Blumenthal says Republicans Are ‘Complicit in All These Shootings’

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said Tuesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Republican lawmakers were “complicit” in all the mass shootings that take place in the United States, given their opposition to gun legislation.

Blumenthal said, “In Boulder, that shooter is a deeply disturbed man who became a mass killer because he had an assault weapon that can kill people with the efficiency and speed meant for the battlefield. So guns make all these problems more fatally and deadly, especially for domestic violence victims who then can be killed, five times more likely to be killed in those situations. That’s why we need to make sure we adopt these common-sense measures.”

He added, “We should not be putting aside Republicans. They bear responsibilities as well. That was the whole point of my exchange this morning with Senator Cruz because they’re the ones who are ducking that responsibility and become complicit in all these shootings. It is not just Boulder, and it is 100 killings a day and not to mention the emotional traumas and injuries that result, the eight children that are lost every day of guns that are stored unsafely. I think my Republican colleagues are going to be put on record. We’ll have a vote. We have a president who’s committed to this cause, both House of Congress and most importantly we have a popular political movement, a grassroots movement led by a new generation like the Parkland students and March for Our Lives.”
