Netflix Loses Nearly Half Million Subscribers as it Pushes More Woke Content

 Netflix lost nearly a half million subscribers in the U.S. and Canada during the second quarter in a surprising consumer rebuke as the streamer continues to embrace left-wing politics and woke content, including a new slate of programming from Barack and Michelle Obama.

The exodus also reflects a growing public disenchantment with paid streaming services in general, but particularly Netflix, as Americans grow weary of rising prices and over-hyped content, while embracing other forms of entertainment post-lockdown.

The streamer said it lost 430,000 subscribers domestically for the period,  the first time it has bled subscribers in two years, when it lost 100,000 subscribers during the second quarter of 2019. Wall Street views subscriptions as the key indicator of Netflix’s financial health because it is the best gauge of the company’s future cash flow.

n its earnings announcement, Netflix blamed the subscriber loss on seasonality and the already large size of its North American customer base. The streamer made no mention of its increasingly left-wing content as well as the openly partisan public positions its executives have taken in recent months.

Gafni: A temporary government with small kippahs

 

The chairman of the Degel HaTorah party, MK Moshe Gafni, participated on Thursday evening as the guest of honor at an event for yeshiva students in Kiryat Ye'arim.

Gafni attacked the government in his speech and said, "I suggest to the heads of the interim government with the small kippahs who think the haredi public is upset, that they come here and see how the haredi public is happy and growing, and proud of the holy yeshiva students."

"We are not afraid of the dark, we are not afraid of you, we will topple you soon," Gafni declared.

The head of the Kiryat Ye'arim council, Yitzhak Ravitz, said, "What Rabbi Gafni is doing in the opposition, ten MKs are not doing in the coalition, all the events here and more are happening thanks to him."

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed "Let Reform have mixed services at the Western Wall"

 

A senior Religious Zionist rabbi has called on the authorities in charge of the Western Wall Plaza to accommodate Reform and Conservative prayer groups at a separate section of the wall designated for egalitarian prayer.

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, chief rabbi of the Samaria town of Har Bracha and dean of the local yeshiva, penned a piece on Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew website Thursday arguing that non-traditional prayer groups should be given accommodation at the Western Wall.

The rabbi emphasized that the prayers should be permitted only in the ‘Ezrat Yisrael’ section of the Western Wall Plaza – an area on the southern end of the plaza, separate from the main prayer areas of the plaza.

“Because there are many Jews who identify with the Conservative and Reform movements, and have based on the values which they set for their mixed prayers involving both women and men in a form which violates Jewish law and tradition, and they wish to pray by the Western Wall, it is correct to set aside the ‘Ezrat Yisrael’ area for them to hold their prayer services in a respectable manner,” Rabbi Melamed wrote.

“If more people come to pray adhering to their rules, the area allotted to them in the Ezrat Yisrael space should be increased as needed.”

“Orthodox and haredi people who adhere to Jewish law and tradition need not be bothered by these groups which come to the Western Wall. Rather, they should be happy that more of their Jewish brothers and sisters are connecting to the site of the Temple, and more of them want to pray to their Father in Heaven.”

Rabbi Melamed also said the administrators of the Western Wall should see to the needs of Reform and Conservative worshippers, including providing them with Torah scrolls.

"They need a Torah scroll [the Western Wall's rabbi] should take care of it."

The article was penned in response to a confrontation in the Western Wall Plaza during the Tisha B’Av fast this week, during which non-Orthodox and Orthodox worshippers clashed over the mixed prayers at the site.

Satmar & Hisachdas Ha'Ganavim Protest in Front of Israeli Consulate in Manhattan ...Developer in Gush Etzion Refuses to payoff the "Asra Kadisha Mafia"

 

The "Screamers"

The "Sleepers"

The buses 

Satmar Chassidim teamed up with the Hisachdas Ha'Ganavim to protest a new development site in Gush Etzion. The event was in front of the Israeli Consulate in Manhattan. 

What a great activity for the bored chassidim during "Bain Hazmanim" they don't have smart phones (officially) they don't have internet, they are prohibited from riding bikes and swimming, sports are "avoida zara". What a way to keep them out of trouble.The organiser of this event is brilliant and should get an award.

The developer in the Gush wan't paying off the "Asra Kadisha" so the extremists decided to claim that the site has Jewish bones there from 2,000 years ago. 

Gedoiei Yisrael including Rav Moshe Shternbuch have already paskened that the bones are not Jewish. 

A couple of weeks ago, the "Asra Kadisha" shlepped the old feeble 95 year-old R' Tuvia Weiss to the Gush to the protest.

The developer wasn't having any of this and so he called in the police. The police began yelling at the old Rav, and according to the lying "asra kadisha" the police threw smoke bombs at the vehicle. This turned out to be a big lie, but that didn't stop them from making a huge rally in Kikar Ha'shabbos against the police who dissed the old rav. This protest, as I reported previously, was also a protest against R' Shternbuch one of their own leaders. 

At that protest the spokesman for the Eida Hachareidis, Dayan Fisher got up and and asked "how do you expect the police to have respect for Gedoilim when we ourselves don't have any respect for ours ." He then stormed off the stage with another 50 rabbanim following from the dais..

In Monroe, Satmar continues to annex land and build disregarding the fact that there may be bones there from American Indians.... actually that may be a bigger problem since there was at least one  achron  that held that the American Indians were from the lost 10 tribes. 

Who knew? American Indians lived in Kiryas Yoel. 

In a First.. Eida Hachreidis Gives Hashgacha on Shwarma

 So up till now, Chareidim ate Shwarma without the Eida Hachreidis Hashgacha!

Why Are the Chareidim Against "Meron Investigation"?

 They blamed the police, so why are they so afraid of the investigation? If it was the police, then the investigation will expose this... so what are they hiding?

Chareidim Made To Wait In Heat For Public Transportation Due To Muslim Holiday ... but still protest the "light Rail"

 

Yesterday I was in Yerushalyim all day, guess what? There weren't any protests against the Light Rail ....I was wondering what happened, I noticed that the Light Rail was unusually crowded with Chareidim...

I also noticed that there were crowds waiting for the buses.... I found out that the Arabs driving the  buses were in shul Davening and didn't come to work. The Light Rail also has Arabs operating the train, but it only requires one operator to transport hundreds of people.

Did the Chareidim learn a lesson now, that the new Light Rail will be a bracha for them? 

Naaa! 

Hundreds of Chareidim who are dependent on public transportation were made to wait in the sweltering heat of the city of Modi’in Illit on Tuesday, due to a lack of busses caused by the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. At bus stops across the Chareidi city, located in the western part of the Binyamin region of Samaria, hundreds of people were waiting in almost 100-degree heat for hours for a bus.

“There are people waiting here with small children,” said one angry commuter told the BeChadrei Charedim news site. “Women and children were melting in this very strong sun and high heat. Just yesterday, a Chassidic man suffered from heatstroke in the city. I think two or three times before I leave my house. When I see hundreds of people in the streets waiting for busses, who are helpless and just want to get home or get to work on these sweltering streets, it makes me angry. I don’t understand why they didn’t bring more busses and drivers.”

The bus agency who provides service for the city, Kavim issued a statement in response to the many complaints they received: “The Transportation Ministry, as well as all of the transportation providers, issued a notice well in advance of the holiday notifying people that since thousands of bus drivers will be missing work today, service would be much slower and busses would be infrequent. We also announced that all Bein Hazmanim schedules would begin only on Friday and that the public was asked to make plans accordingly. The directors of Kavim in the city reported that it was expected that the request for service would be the same as a regular day and that they were able to enlist the help of alternate drivers to fulfill the requirements by enlisting subcontractors. Kavim will continue to do everything it can to meet the demands of the public which it serves.”

Big Reprieve for Foreign Students Seeking Entry to Israel for Upcoming School Year

 

(By Zvi Gluck)

In recent months, the process of getting student visas for Israel travel has been an exceptionally challenging and lengthy process, with months-long waits that created tremendous financial difficulties and other significant hardships. Amudim has been working closely with the Israeli Consulate in New York and was blessed to be able to develop a system by which countless students were able to receive their visas without long wait times for appointments.

Fortunately, thanks to concerted efforts by individuals and government agencies, a new system has been implemented that will allow thousands of students to travel to Israel seamlessly and swiftly.

This new system, created through the tremendous efforts and dedication of officials at the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Rabbi Nechemya Malinowitz of the Igud and Eretz Hakodesh, allows schools to seamlessly submit visa requests for students ages 16 through 25. This process will free students of the burden of going through the rigorous application process on their own and, best of all, will allow thousands of students to receive their entry permits and focus on their studies instead of bureaucratic paperwork.  Students ages 26 and up are still able to contact Amudim for assistance by visiting our student visa page on our website www.amudim.org/visa which is updated regularly.

We at Amudim are grateful to have had the opportunity to help Israel-bound students over the last few months together with our devoted partners at the Israeli Consulate in New York and are confident that the new system will benefit thousands.  We appreciate the trust placed in us by the many parents and students whose continued patience and respect for the application and approval process allowed our team to focus on getting visas issued as efficiently as possible.

As we have seen over the last several months, Israel often makes travel changes without any notice and we remain committed to updating our travel page www.amudim.org/travel as quickly and efficiently as possible.  We look forward to the days when traveling to Israel can return to what it once was. Until that time, we thank everyone for their continued patience and understanding.

Hillel Schenker Says Ben & Jerry’s did the right thing

 

"Ugly" Schenker

Hillel Schenker,  co-Edits a little known magazine called The Palestine-Israel Journal and lives in Tel-Aviv the city that his buddies the Palestinians, consider "Occupied and a Settlement." There isn't a Palestinian alive today that in his heart thinks that Tel Aviv is not "occupied."

This week the hypocrite wrote a  column in The Times of Israel where he barked that Ben & Jerry did the right thing boycotting Yehudah and Shomron, which Shenker, the self-hating leftist moron, thinks is "not part of Israel." To support this idiotic statement, he adds in a comment that his neighbours agree with him.

Schenker writes that he boycotted Haagen-Dazs ice cream when he "learned that the owners were supporters of the right-wing racist ethno--extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane."

Rabbi Meir Kahana never launched 4,000 rockets at Arab children and never blew up a pizza store, whereas his buddies, danced in the streets and handed out sweets when they learned that the Folger family were murdered in cold blood on a Friday night. 

Shenker, the old ugly geezer, writes:

"Boycotting the settlements and settlement products is not boycotting Israel, it is reaffirming the need to end the occupation based on a negotiated two-state solution."

When the EU began to boycott Soda Stream that had their factory in one of the settlements, Maalei Adumim, the company was forced to move to the south, and 500 Arab families lost their parnassa as a direct result of the boycott. So much for caring for Palestinians.

What the moron doesn't write is that the Palestinians themselves do not want a "two-state solution" they want one state called Palestine, and they want to make the entire Yehuda and Shomron, including Tel Aviv .."Yudinrein"..

A pox on him, his neighbours and his Palestinian friends .

'Fight the international Ben & Jerry's - not the Israeli franchise'

 

Israeli Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked visited the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory in central Israel Wednesday morning, in a public show of support for the Israeli franchisee of the popular ice cream brand.

Noting the refusal of the holder of the Israeli franchise – Avi Zinger – to implement the boycott of Israeli towns in Judea and Samaria called for by the international Ben & Jerry’s company – owned by Unilever – Shaked called on fans of the frozen confection to continue to support Ben & Jerry’s Israel branch.

“Don’t boycott the Israeli Ben & Jerry’s franchise,” Shaked said during the tour. “We need to buy Ben & Jerry’s in Israel. Avi Zinger, the CEO of Ben & Jerry’s Israel, has been fighting for years against BDS groups.”

“He has refused to accept the terms set by Ben & Jerry’s International, to boycott parts of Israel, and we will do everything possible to get this decision overturned.”

“We need to fight the American Ben & Jerry’s company,” Shaked continued. “We’re working with Jewish and Evangelical groups who support Israel in the US, [encouraging] them to boycott Ben & Jerry’s ice cream until they change this outrageous policy of theirs.”

“The management of the international Ben & Jerry’s company chose to kiss up to terrorism and anti-Semitic groups, instead of standing by their Israeli franchisee, who for years has been a model for Israeli producers.”

Shaked vowed that the “Israeli government will do all that it can in terms of law, consumers, and diplomacy against the American producers to get them to change this decision.”

In an Historic First A Chabad Soldier takes command of Negev Company

 

First Lieutenant Shmuel Kirsch today officially took up his position as a company commander in the Negev Company, Kirsch is the first company commander to emerge within the company.

Kirsch's promotion is historic because he is a haredi Jew and a member of the Chabad hasidic movement. He comes from a prominent rabbinic family in the community.

The Negev Company is an operational company that deals with the preservation of the strategic assets of the State of Israel, including the F-35 aircraft.

During their service, soldiers who grew up in the haredi education system are even allowed to complete their matriculation and studies.

The heads of the Netzach Yehuda Association participated today (Wednesday) in the exchange ceremony and accompanied Kirsch in his entry into the new position as Commander of the Negev Company.

Rabbi Yitzchak Bar-Haim, founder of Netzach Yehuda said, "This is an exciting and historic day for the Negev Company and the entire haredi service in the IDF. On such a day, my hope is that in the coming years we will see more and more haredi who have grown up in the various units, advancing in the ranks and fulfilling senior command positions."

Schumer Trying To Bring Jewish Baby to USA To Save Her Life

 

You’ve probably seen the ads. You may have even helped in the past. But Alta’s life is not yet saved, as the British government is still trying to take her off life support and end her life.

On Friday, the Fixsler family tried to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom to save their baby’s life. Senator Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking Jew in the United States, is getting involved. “My heart breaks for the Fixsler family,” Schumer told The NY Post, in the exposé The Post wrote about the overall situation.

Alta’s life is hanging by a thread. The British government is madly trying everything they can to take her off life support, instead of giving the Fixsler family the ability to take Alta to anywhere else in the world. Many other countries would be fine with taking care of Alta long term, but in the United Kingdom, they want to pull the plug.

While Alta and her family are pouring everything they can into saving her life, the legal fees continue to mount. They are fighting a legal battle against a legal system that has infinite funds at its disposal, which means that the battle for Alta’s life can be won or lost based on their ability to continue paying their legal team. DONATE NOW!

A life in the balance for something as simple as money! We need you! We need you to give of your heart, your mind, your wallet, to help make sure that this disastrous outcome never comes to be! We need more funds to continue waging a legal battle against the British government, and every Jew must get involved to save this Jewish girl’s life!

Please donate generously to help with the legal fees. In the merit of your help, may Hashem give your family health, happiness and all that comes with it.

Satmar Civil War in Bnei Brak Heats Up ... with Satmar Rav Going to Zionist Court against Ahronim

 

As we have reported the "Ahroinim" led by R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe in Monroe, want to oust his own nephew as Rav of Satmar Bnei-Brak. 

So the Bnei Brak Satmar Rav did what has been an old  tradition in Satmar; he turned to the secular courts.

But in Israel, the secular courts are the Zionists! 

Lawyer for scooter ‘thief’ victim-shames Chassidishe 7-year-old kid in court

 

The “lowlife” thief charged with stealing a then-6-year-old Brooklyn boy’s scooter was ordered held on $50,000 bail Tuesday — while his lawyer took a cheap shot at the young victim.

“I don’t know why a 7-year-old is on an electric scooter,” Brooklyn Public Defenders attorney Sarah Burleson, who represents accused scooter thief Daniel Ufares, griped at his arraignment.

Ufares, 59, was charged with second-degree attempted robbery, third-degree robbery, fourth-degree grand larceny, petty larceny, and menacing in the callous July 7 crime.

He kept his head bowed and said little as he faced Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Quynda Santacroce, who also issued an order of protection ordering the accused thief to stay away from the young victim. 

“Yes, ma’am,” was all Ufares said when the judge explained the order.

He is charged with the cold-hearted theft of the boy’s scooter in Borough Park, grabbing the handlebars and snatching the toy away from the youngster — with the callous crime caught on surveillance video.

Ufares was busted Monday and initially charged with possession of stolen property, admitting to cops that he swiped the scooter for drug money, according to police.

The boy’s dad said the incident left his son traumatized and that the scooter actually belonged to another son with special needs who needed it to get around.

The NYPD stepped up to help the family, buying them a new e-scooter for the boy, who has since turned 7. 

Ufares’ ex-wife said she was surprised that even he would pull off such a heartless crime — despite his lengthy criminal history.

“I would never have thought he’d do that to kids,” she told The Post. “He’s a lowlife.”

Brooklyn prosecutor Wilfred Cotto wanted Ufares held on $100,000 bail at his arraignment Tuesday, saying he “is a repeat offender, two violent felonies, two parole revocations.” 

Cotto said that includes a 1991 manslaughter case.

According to police and court records, Ufares was still on parole and supervised release for a 2010 Queens robbery conviction when he was busted in the scooter heist.

In court, Burleson, his lawyer, said her client suffers from addiction and needs help.

“He is not doing harm to anyone but himself, your honor,” she told the judge. “Mr. Ufares has addiction issues which need to be addressed. He needs greater assistance.”
