Soros-Backed J Street Demands Ceasefire Between Israel, Hamas

 

 JStreet, the George Soros-backed radical left-wing Jewish group that often opposes the Israeli government, called for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war with Hamas on Monday — despite the fact that Hamas says a ceasefire would mean victory.

The group, which backed Joe Biden for president in 2020, criticized Biden for not calling for an immediate ceasefire. “To date, the Biden administration has simply not done enough to demand, broker and achieve an immediate end to the violence and destruction,” the group said in a statement, as quoted by the Times of Israel. “They have also provided near blanket diplomatic cover for the Netanyahu government,” J Street added.

The Biden administration began the conflict by drawing equivalences between Hamas terrorism and Israeli legal proceedings regarding disputed homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem. But after Hamas and Islamic Jihad launched thousands of rockets against Israeli civilians, the Biden administration began to change its posture. It has blocked the United Nations Security Council from demanding a ceasefire.

Hamas has let it be known that any ceasefire at this stage would be considered a victory for the group. “[I]f it happens, the ceasefire will be on our conditions, on conditions of the Palestinian resistance, not on conditions of Israeli occupation,” a Hamas spokesman said.

Israel, which has made significant progress in the destruction of Hamas and Islamic Jihad infrastructure, has said it needs at least two more days to neutralize the terror group, which continues to fire hundreds of rockets at Israeli civilians.

An Arab terrorist was killed Tuesday morning during a failed bombing attack in the city of Hebron.

The terrorist approached IDF soldiers stationed at Gross Square in Hebron, carrying a knife, a 'Carlo' style submachine gun, and a pipe bomb he apparently intended to hurl at the soldiers.

The soldiers spotted the terrorist and opened fire.

During the incident, the pipe bomb exploded in the terrorist's hands.

The terrorist was killed during the abortive attack.

No injuries were reported among the IDF forces at the scene.

An army bomb squad was dispatched to remove the remnants of the pipe bomb.

The abortive attack took place at the entrance to the Avraham Avinu neighborhood, one of the Jewish enclaves near the Tomb of the Patriarchs.

How The Associated Press Collaborated With Nazis Against Jews

 

AP Berlin bureau chief Louis P. Lochner, somewhere in Germany, stands next to a Nazi soldier seated in a piece of artillery.

by 

MATTI FRIEDMAN

Did the Associated Press, the venerable American agency that is one of the world’s biggest news providers, collaborate with the Nazis during World War II? 

A report and new counter-report on this subject offer a few striking lessons—not just for students of history but for anyone concerned with the way news coverage shapes our perception right now.

A paper last year by the German historian Harriet Scharnberg titled “The A and P of Propaganda” and published in Studies in Contemporary History makes the case that beginning in the mid-1930s, the AP’s photo office in Germany made compromise after compromise to keep reporting under Nazi rule, obeying successive orders from the Hitler regime until it ended up as a Nazi information arm in all but name. Remaining in Berlin after its competitors departed in 1935 allowed the AP to serve as a “key channel” for German propaganda, she wrote, an arrangement the New York-based agency was eager to preserve—even if it meant removing all of its Jewish photographers in keeping with Nazi race laws, for example, and even if it meant issuing a statement to the official SS magazine swearing that the photo bureau was pure Aryan.

In the Nazi years, according to Scharnberg, the AP was selling German images in the United States and selling images from the United States in Germany, allowing photographs of American Jews and others to be used in some of the vilest racial propaganda produced by the Nazi state. The AP was, for example, the “leading supplier” of images for a propaganda book called The Jews in the USA, and in third place among suppliers of photos for the book The Subhuman.

Eventually, Scharnberg claimed, the line between the AP’s German photo operation and the Nazi regime effectively ceased to exist—even as the Nazis pursued projects like the concentration camp at Dachau, which opened in 1933, and the “euthanasia” of disabled children, which began in the summer of 1939.

What did the AP decide to cover, and how? Well, the head of AP’s picture service in Berlin went on to be an official Nazi photo censor. If AP photos from the German advance into Poland and Russia offered an image of the war that didn’t show things like the organized murder of tens of thousands of Jews and others behind the lines by the Einsatzgruppen, it was perhaps because the photos were taken by people like Franz Roth—who was, we learn from Scharnberg’s report, simultaneously an “AP photographer, SS-Oberscharführer (senior squad leader) and photojournalist in the SS Propaganda Company (SS-PK).” In his SS role, Roth took propaganda images showing Soviet prisoners as ugly human specimens—and AP, in turn, “received exclusive rights to the propaganda photos,” which were published in newspapers in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Associated Press Lying When It Claims that it is "unaware of Hamas in building"

 

The Associated Press has been blasted for claiming it had no clue Hamas militants maintained a presence at the news agency’s Gaza headquarters that was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike.

Israel said it shared “smoking gun” evidence with Biden administration officials that Hamas was operating out of the Al-Jalaa Tower, which housed the AP, Al Jazeera and other news outlets, according to a report Sunday.

The strike destroyed the 12-story building an hour after the Israeli military ordered it evacuated, saying the high-rise was targeted because it was being used by Hamas military intelligence, Fox News reported.

The AP condemned Israel for the attack and claimed to have “no indication” that the terror group operated from the building.

“We have had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the building,” AP president and CEO Gary Pruitt said in a statement. “This is something we actively check to the best of our ability. We would never knowingly put our journalists at risk.”

He added that he was “shocked and horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing AP’s bureau and other news organizations in Gaza.”

However, a 2014 article in The Atlantic written by a journalist in the region described a questionable history between the news agency and Hamas.

“When Hamas’s leaders surveyed their assets before this summer’s round of fighting, they knew that among those assets was the international press,” Matti Friedman wrote.

“The AP staff in Gaza City would witness a rocket launch right beside their office, endangering reporters and other civilians nearby — and the AP wouldn’t report it,” he wrote.

Friedman claimed the Hamas militants would regularly “burst into the AP’s Gaza bureau and threaten the staff — and the AP wouldn’t report it.”’

Senior Islamic Jihad commander killed in Israeli airstrike

 

Senior Islamic Jihad commander Hussam Abu Harbeed was killed Monday in the Gaza Strip by an Israeli airstrike, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Abu Harbeed, who commanded the terror group’s northern Gaza division, led attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians for nearly 15 years, the military said in a statement. He was also allegedly directly responsible for anti-tank missile fire that lightly wounded an Israeli civilian last week.

Islamic Jihad confirmed the reports, calling Abu Harbeed “our blessed martyr.”

“The martyr Hussam was a model as a leader and a soldier and in the performance of his tasks and duties,” the group said in a statement.

The terror group often works alongside Gaza’s Hamas rulers, and their armed wings are closely aligned.

According to unconfirmed reports in Palestinian media, Abu Harbeed was killed near his home in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip.

Palestinian factions in the coastal enclave began intensive rocket fire towards southern Israel shortly after the alleged targeted killing, triggering sirens in numerous communities.

One of the rockets landed in the southern city of Ashdod, lightly hurting three Israelis. Another five people at the scene were treated for shock.

Meanwhile, initial reports indicated another three Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Monday as Israeli forces struck a car in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Israel has long sought to eliminate the leadership of armed Palestinian organizations in Gaza, including through targeted airstrikes. Over the past week, at least three Islamic Jihad commanders and a senior Hamas figure were killed in Israeli strikes.

In 2019, Israel targeted senior Islamic Jihad commander Baha Abu al-Ata, successfully killing him. Abu al-Ata’s death touched off a round of escalation between Israel and Islamic Jihad, leading to the deaths of 34 Palestinians.

It was unclear how the killing of Abu Harbeed — who was reportedly seen as Abu al-Ata’s heir  — could play into ongoing attempts to reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

The targeted killing comes as hostilities between Israel and Gaza-based terror groups carried on for an eighth day.

“The Shin Bet deserves immense credit for their exceptional intelligence,” IDF spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said Monday when referring to the targeting of Abu Harbeed.

Zilberman also spoke of Hamas’s internal Gaza tunnel network — referred to by the IDF as “the metro”, which was bombarded numerous times over the course of the fighting. The military on Monday claimed it had destroyed some 100 kilometers’ worth of tunnels.

“We see the [terror group] members fear of going underground,” Zilberman said. “They have a very big dilemma whether to be above or below ground. I think the impact on rocket fire is not high, but the impact on other aspects including [Hamas’s] command and control is much higher,” he added.

Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have fired some 3,000 rockets at Israel since the outbreak of fighting on Monday, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Israel has responded with widespread airstrikes against targets across the Gaza Strip.

Two dead, 184 injured in grandstand collapse in Givat Zev Stoliner Beit Medrash..New Shul was a "dangerous Place"

Bleachers were held together by Zip Ties!

When are we going to learn ... ? 

Who is going to be held responsible for this? 

The Building was still under construction and was not cleared for usage.. 

In fact the gabbaim were warned not to use it as the "site was dangerous"

A 40-year-old man and a 12-year-old boy were killed and 184 people were injured when a grandstand collapsed at a synagogue in Givat Ze’ev in Jerusalem during Shavuot prayers on Sunday evening.

Reports said that approximately 600 people were at the synagogue at the time of the incident.

Magen David Adom paramedics who were called to the scene evacuated the injured to hospitals.

105 people were evacuated to Shaare Zedek Hospital, including two in serious condition, six in moderate condition and 97 in light condition.

22 people were evacuated to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital, of whom one is in moderate condition and 21 are lightly injured.

51 people were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, of whom three are in serious condition, three are suffering moderate injuries and 45 are in light condition.

Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer received four people with light injuries.

Two people with light injuries were evacuated to Shamir-Assaf Harofeh Hospital.

MDA's blood services provided 237 blood doses and components to the hospitals in Jerusalem.

A Magen David Adom paramedic who arrived at the scene in Givat Ze'ev said, "There was a big commotion at the scene, worshipers who were there signaled for me to enter the building and were shouting for help. Dozens of wounded to varying degrees lay on top of each other in the back of the grandstand that collapsed while trapped under the rubble and metal fragments."

The IDF has dispatched fighters from the Home Front Command and medical forces from the Central Command to assist in the incident.

Israel Air Force helicopters and medical personnel were also rushed to the scene.

Jerusalem District Police Commander Doron Turgeman, who arrived at the scene of the incident, said that the makeshift building set up for the prayer service had not been cleared for use by the police.

"The police instructed the local council that the synagogue should not be used. It is the responsibility of a local authority to prevent the entry of worshipers," said Turgeman.

“There are at least two dead in the incident. There was negligence and irresponsible conduct here, there will be arrests,” he added.

Givat Ze’ev Regional Council Head Yossi Avrahami said that the council had warned about holding events at the synagogue that collapsed.

"The council appealed to all relevant authorities and alerted on this issue. We closed [the venue] with signs saying that the site here is dangerous and from the council's point of view, it was not possible to enter and hold the event here. Police said they were not liable for the event. We've got it written down," he said.

The police have decided that the fraud unit of the Tel Aviv district will investigate the incident.

The decision was made mainly to prevent allegations that the Jerusalem Police are investigating an incident in which they may be involved.

Lod rabbi rules religious Jews should film rioting, use Whatsapp on Shabbat

 

Due to continuing violence in Lod, local Rabbi Chaim Shmila has instructed Jewish residents to carry their phones on Shabbat, document the riots and use WhatsApp in order to help spread information about the situation in the city.

In a Whatsapp message he sent to his community members, Shmila explained that the current situation put lives in danger, and protecting those lives was of supreme value, and therefore an act that is forbidden according to traditional Shabbat observance was no longer forbidden.

The rabbi instructed members of the congregation to contact the police if they encountered any threatening behavior, such as burning trash bins, throwing stones, Molotov cocktails, or using weapons, or if they were concerned that a rioting mob was beginning to gather.

Shmila made sure to let members know that one is only allowed to document riots if it did not put one's own life in danger.

In Gaza "No one wants to 'ride' the Metro,"

Israel fights to protect its civilians.

— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) May 16, 2021

Hamas fired some 120 rockets at Israel between 7 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. Sunday, the IDF reported Sunday morning. About 11 of the rockets missed Israel entirely and landed in the Gaza Strip, while Israel's air defenses intercepted several dozen more that were tracking toward populated areas.

IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman said Sunday that some 130 Hamas terrorists have been killed in IDF strikes since the start of Operation Guardian of the Walls, which entered its seventh day on Sunday.

Zilberman confirmed that the IDF had targeted the homes of senior Hamas leaders in Gaza.

"We attacked the home of Yahya Sinwar in Khan Younis and the home of his brother, who is responsible for personnel and logistics in Hamas. Both homes serve as bases for terrorism. These were only part of the strikes on [Hamas] operatives' homes. Overnight, we also attacked the home of the Zeitoun brigade commander, head of Hamas' research and development," he said.

Zilberman noted that the focus of Israel's strike had been Hamas leaders; rocket launchers, and continued attacks on Hamas' "Metro" underground tunnel network.

"We will continue to deepen our attacks on Hamas … overnight, we continued our operation against Hamas' tunnel network. We carried out the second stage of the operation to destroy its Metro in the northern and central parts of Gaza. This is a massive attack, although less than Thursday's. 

There are more stages to come, including a methodical offensive against its attack tunnels. Right now, various officials in the terrorist organization are afraid to go underground – not only leaders, but operatives, as well. No one wants to 'ride' the Metro," Zilberman said.

In addition, he explained, since Friday the IDF had successfully taken out 45 multiple rocket launchers, nearly one per hour. "We are targeting their rocket launchers that propel rockets to a lot of different places in Israel," he said.

According to Zilberman, Hamas and the other terrorist groups in Gaza could fire every hour, but they were not taking into account the need to conserve ammunition.

Early Sunday, Hamas launched a spate of rocket attacks on southern Israel early Sunday following a night of heavy Israeli airstrikes against its infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.

Shortly after midnight Saturday, Hamas unleashed dozens of rockets toward central Israel and the coastal plain region, amid threats to aim at Tel Aviv. Overnight Saturday, Israeli Air Force aircraft continued to operate, with one of its strikes targeting a Hamas military intelligence site.

Overnight Saturday, the IDF published a list of the targets the IAF had eradicated throughout the day, as well as some of the senior members of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad who have been confirmed dead since the beginning of Operation Guardian of the Walls.

R' Akiva Gancz Satmar Educator Passes Away at 95

 

Rabbi Akiva Gancz, a beloved and highly respected figure throughout the entire Satmar community, passed away today in Kiryas Joel at the age of 95.

A founding father of the Satmar Cheder under the guidance of the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, Rabbi Gancz was a rebbe for the youngest boys in the Satmar school system and was lovingly called Reb Kivala. 

He was well known for taking his students to say Shema with newborns at the vachtnacht, held on the night before their bris and gave tens of thousands of three year olds their first taste of the alef bais and packages of treats on the day of their first haircuts. 

While he and his wife had no children of their own, the fatherly warmth that he gave his young students at the Satmar Cheder over an educational career that spanned decades was legendary. 

Known to Satmar chasidim everywhere, Rabbi Gancz was renowned for his humility and sterling character. His funeral took place last night at 12:30 at the Congregation Yetev Lev D’Satmar, Kiryas Joel and was followed by burial in the Satmar cemetery on Schunnemunk Road.

For many Americans, the violent clash between Israel and Hamas sparks an understandable sense of having seen it all before. While it’s true there is a long, bloody history between the combatants, the current fighting is unique in ways that make the endgame especially crucial for the Jewish state and the entire region. 

The most obvious change is that Hamas increased its rocket capacity, both in numbers and range. In previous battles, the relative handful of explosives launched from Gaza were a threat only to Israelis near the border. 

This time, more than 2,000 rockets and mortars have been fired, and Israeli officials are surprised at how far some can travel. While the explosives are unguided and many are destroyed by Iron Dome batteries, the sheer number has at times overwhelmed the defense system, making all of Israel more vulnerable. 

Air raid sirens are sending residents to defense shelters all over the country and some civilians have been killed, including a child. 

The rockets are smuggled from Iran or built in Gaza using Iranian supplies, making the weapons a proxy for Iran’s malign reach. Hezbollah, the Iranian cat’s-paw controlling Lebanon, sits on Israel’s northern border, and three rockets fired from there Friday caused concern that a second front might develop. 

There also are outbreaks of violence in the West Bank and Arab villages in Israel, some involving Jewish and Muslim civilians ­attacking each other. 

Still, the main event is the Iranian connection and the willingness of Hamas to fire indiscriminately on civilian areas, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. That combination justifies Israel’s ferocious response and its effort to wipe out the terrorist group’s leadership. 

A Wednesday tweet from the Israel Defense Forces showed the faces of 14 men it said were “neutralized.” 

“They were responsible for the rocket attacks against Israel in the last 72 hours,” the tweet read. “They will never plan another terror attack again.” 

The decapitation strikes illustrate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to inflict massive and lasting damage on Hamas. To head off any push for quick restraint, which would give Hamas a public relations victory and spare its leaders, Israeli officials told the Biden adminis­tration to buzz off. 

They want the freedom to act because they believe it is crucial that Hamas not only lose the war it started, but for its defeat to be widely seen and understood. Otherwise, the terrorists will gain stature and an incentive to do it again.

Elise Stefanik elected to replace Liz Cheney as House GOP Conference chair

 

Stefanik tells House Republicans the conference has a ‘unifying’ goal: winning back the majority in 2022

The House Republican Conference on Friday morning voted to elect Rep. Elise Stefanik as its chairwoman, sealing the New York lawmaker’s ascent two days after the group ousted Rep. Liz Cheney amid strong tension over the party’s future.

Stefanik said she’s “truly honored and humbled” to earn the support of her Republican colleagues, and vowed to “save our country” from the “radical Democrat Socialist agenda,” Fox News is told.

“I know we are all here to serve the people, the voters who place their trust and faith in us. You have put yours in me to serve this Conference and I will never lose sight of that. I will always work my very hardest to earn your trust every day,” Stefanik went on to say. 

She added: “This will not be an easy job, but I know we are stronger when united as a team.”

Stefanik’s appointment as House Republican Conference chair came just days after House Republicans voted to remove Cheney, R-Wyo., from leadership.

Cheney had remained steadfast in her opposition to former President Donald Trump and his “dangerous lies” about the 2020 election being stolen from him — putting her at odds with other House Republicans who wanted to move on from the Jan. 6 riot and unite the party to win in the 2022 midterms. Cheney was removed by a voice vote.

STOP THE SHIDDUCH PICTURES

The following from R' Yisrael Reisman to the Flatbush Jewish Journal Letters to the Editor

Dear Shadchanim,

I was excited to see the "nix the pics" ad in the FJJ, last week. THANK YOU for standing up for the honor of Bnos Yisroel. There is not one Mechanech, Rebbe or Rosh Yeshiva that agrees to the practice of requesting pictures of Bnos Yisroel before a date. It is detrimental to the young men, who are entering a relationship with warped priorities. In addition, there is a great Kitrug upon those who are dealing in such a manner, due to the lack of modesty, and the degradation of the honor of Bnos Yisroel.

This practice is wrong, and it is ineffective. I have been dealing with issues of Shalom Bayis for over thirty years. I have had the privilege of having shimush in these topics from my great Rebbi, Rav Avraham Pam zt"l. We have not seen marriages destroyed because there was a lack of external beauty. On the other hand, we have heard from many husbands, that the physical beauty of their wives, blinded their eyes and prevented them from making more sensible considerations in their choice of a marriage partner. Many of these marriages were not happy ones, and did not last. An overemphasis on externals blinds the eyes of the wise.

My advice is that you strengthen yourselves and have the courage to maintain the policy of dealing exclusively in Shidduchim without introductory photos, in the spirit of “Derech Yisroel Saba.”

A Chassid once quipped “It shall not be done in our community to place the ‘tzirah’ (photo) before the ‘bechirah’ (date).”

With a prayer for our success in correcting this breach of conduct,

Rabbi Yisroel Reisman

"A girl should study to be a housewife" Rabbi Avigdor Miller

 

Q: Should a girl who is studying to be a lawyer practice in crimi- nal court and get the experience she needs by defending criminals?

A: I want to start this question a little earlier. Should a girl study to be a lawyer altogether? 

No! A girl should study to be a housewife! It’s a tragedy when girls go for a career.

Now, I know that the girl who asked the question is right here, but listen to me. People have to know what’s good for their future, what’s good for their happiness. If a woman is independent and she has her own career, she’s a misfit in her home.

A woman has to be only a house- wife and nothing more. It’s of the utmost importance to realize that a

man has to make a living, but a woman has to create a future generation. And in case she cannot, she has to build a home anyhow. And building a home is a full time job. It’s a master piece when the wise woman learns how to create a true Jewish home. And it needs all of her talents.

And therefore, isn’t it a waste? 

You can get a bum, to be a criminal lawyer – which they are. Nobody should be a criminal lawyer! But to take a good Jewish girl and waste her neshama and waste her talents in standing in a gentile court and speaking about criminals, it’s a pity. It’s taking diamonds and using them instead of stones.
