George Soros has blood on his hands for the rise in killings nationwide
The crime wave sweeping across the country is the direct result of a years-long campaign by George Soros to bankroll the election of far-left district attorneys committed to undermining law and order.
Over the past six years or so, Soros has poured tens of millions of dollars into the campaigns of DA candidates from coast to coast, achieving a remarkable degree of success by simply overwhelming all the other candidates. Whereas normal DA candidates typically run on five-figure budgets, Soros-backed DA candidates routinely enjoy seven-figure war chests.
Soros is able to do this because federal campaign-finance limitations do not apply to local races. Many states have adopted their own laws capping the amounts that individuals and/or political action committees can contribute to candidates, but those laws are often riddled with loopholes. In some cases, the limits only apply to statewide races. In other cases, Soros can circumvent individual contribution limits by funneling money through the PACs he has set up for this purpose, which generally go by the ironic name of “Safety and Justice.”
When Jews Themselves Discourage Jews to go up to the Temple Mount, Why Are we surprised that 129 Countries Voted for UN Resolution Denying Jewish Ties to Har Habayis, Calling it Exclusively Muslim
Once again, the UN has exposed itself as a viciously biased group, whose primary mission is to target Israel and the Jews, while propping up Islamic terrorists.
The UN General Assembly passed an egregious resolution Wednesday by an overwhelming majority, completely denying any Jewish connection to the Har Habayis.
The “Jerusalem resolution” is part of a movement by the Palestinians and anti-Israel members of the UN to revise history and brand the Har Habayis exclusively Muslim. The wording references the site only by its Muslim name, al-Haram al-Sharif. It passed 129-11.
Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, said, “The UN’s assault on Israel with a torrent of one-sided resolutions is surreal. It’s absurd that in the year 2021, out of some 20 UN General Assembly resolutions that criticize countries, 70 percent are focused on one single country— Israel.”
Neuer added that “the UN shows contempt for both Judaism and Christianity by adopting a resolution that makes no mention of the name Temple Mount, which is Judaism’s holiest site, and which is sacred to all who venerate the Bible, in which the ancient Temple was of central importance.”
The US opposed the resolution, in part because of the exclusion of Israel’s right to the site, saying, “It is morally, historically and politically wrong for members of this body to support language that denies” other religions’ connections to the site.
The UK abstained, with a British representative saying, “The resolution adopted today refers to the holy sites in Jerusalem in purely Islamic terms without recognizing the Jewish terminology of Temple Mount.
“The UK has made clear for many years that we disagree with this approach…The UK has therefore moved our vote today from a ‘yes’ to an ‘abstention.’ If the unbalanced reference had been removed, the UK would have been ready and willing to vote ‘yes’.”
“This should not be misunderstood as a reflection of a change in UK policy toward Jerusalem. Instead, it is an important signal of our commitment to recognizing the history of Jerusalem to the three monotheistic religions,” he said.
In 2018, a similar resolution passed 148-11. This time support decreased, with the number of countries that abstained increasing from 14 to 31, despite the fact that the phrase al-Haram al-Sharif was mentioned only once, whereas last time it was mentioned twice.
Three years ago, all the European countries voted in favor. However this time, Hungary and the Czech Republic opposed, while Albania, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia abstained.

BLACK ‘TEENS’ ATTACK JEWISH CHILDREN-REMINISCENT OF BROWNSHIRTS UNDER HITLER
A young trio of blacks attacked Jewish children and teens in a disturbing Brooklyn spree, cops said early Tuesday.
The three suspects, believed to be teen girls, first approached a 12-year-old boy walking home with his 3-year-old brother on Skillman Street near DeKalb Avenue in Clinton Hill around 6 p.m. Friday, police said. One of the suspects slapped the toddler across the face before taking off, authorities said. His brother was not struck.
Then around 5:35 p.m. Sunday, the trio approached two female siblings, 18 and 7, walking to a store on DeKalb Avenue near Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, cops said. The suspects allegedly grabbed the teen victim by the jacket and pulled her to the ground. Her sister was not hurt, cops said.
About five minutes later, they approached a 9-year-old boy who was walking on Skillman Street near Lafayette Avenue and slapped him on the top of his head multiple times, cops said. The trio then took off. They said nothing during any of the attacks, police said. All of the victims were wearing traditional Jewish attire when they were targeted, police said.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating.

Not All Yeshiva Boys go to Mixed Concerts...Some Steal Cars on Friday Nights

One of our DIN followers made the following comment about concerts"
"These are not chumros. Not A Frummy thing.
There are clear halachic problems with what happened
The Bach 560:3 holds that all music is forbidden whether it’s sung by people, played on instruments, is at a feast or isn't at a feast as the Sh”t HaRambam (see above) holds. Furthermore, the Bach explains that this is also what the Rambam meant in his Yad Chazakah. This stringent opinion is brought as halacha by some achronim including: Magen Avraham 560:8, Shlah (Tanit pg 60d), Bear Sheva (Sotah 49a), Mishna Brurah 560:13, and Sh”t Az Nidabru 8:58(1). Sh”t Igrot Moshe 1:166 writes that a righteous individual should be strict for the Bach, and Sh”t Az Nidbaru 8:58(1) holds that the minhag to rely on the Rama is a weak minhag
There is a heter from Reb Moishe to listen to RECORDED music.
A heter to make a concert in the first place is pretty weak in the first place."
This chuchem "fin deh ma'Nistana" would rather see Bochrum and Girls steal cars on Friday nights than having them go G-d forbid to a concert , where they would see a girl!
I'm mentioning this because this "commentator" is not alone in his warped sick reasoning, and who support their "fardreiteh" ideas with a Bach a Rambam and a Magen Avraham. I remember well when the IDF wiped out the entire Egyptian and Jordanian airforce during the 6 day war, and a big "Gadol" said this "was not a miracle, but the work of the "samach mem" and supported this bizarre idea with proof from the writings of the Rishonim.
One big gadol answered in Yiddish: "dee sheishis yemi hamilchama is yah gevehn a nes, un ver ess zugt az iz nisht gevehn a nes, un brengt nuch ztoo a rambam, farshtei ich nisht vee a kup can zein fardreit"
Loose translation: "
The 6 day war was certainly a miracle, and I cannot understand how someone can write and say that this wasn't a miracle and brings proof from a Rambam, I cannot understand how twisted a person's head can be"
It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better, if we don't stop with these restrictions now!
Families should be encouraged to go to concerts with family seating..absolutely! Maybe just maybe a boy will get attracted to a boy and get engaged, G-d forbid.

Rabbi Efraim Waxman Wants to know "What Netflix is Doing in a Jewish Home"
Rabbi, how are they going to watch "Shtisel?"
My question to Harav Waxman..... who are you screaming at? Is there one guy in the entire audience who subscribes to Netflix going to close his account because you are barking like that?
Isn't there a nicer way to get to people?
I wonder how many people changed because some guy in a Shtreimel was yelling at them.
And since when is Rabbi Waxman wearing a Shreimal, no one in his family ever wore a Shtreimal, not his father or his grandfather, all American born?
Tzvi Tzucker Son-In -Law Of Berland Charged with the Kidnapping and Murder of Shitrit
Tzucker, who is denying the allegations, led the cult’s “tzniyus patrol”, but abandoned the group several years ago amid the allegations of abuse against his father-in-law.
According to Kan news, several weeks ago Berland instructed Sharvit in the interrogation room to provide information to the police. Sharvit confessed to being present at the kidnapping of Shitrit and said that he had been beaten to death by others but denied any knowledge of Edri’s murder and any physical involvement in Shitrit’s death.
Shitrit was allegedly beaten by the cult’s “tznius patrol” four months before he disappeared in January 1986.
In a documentary broadcast in 2020, a former student claimed that the cult murdered the boy and buried his body near Beit Shemesh, although his remains were never found.
Last week, police told the court that the current mayor of a Charedi city was involved in the murder of Edri. The mayor’s attorney responded to the allegations, saying the mayor “has nothing to do with the grave affair and has no idea how his name was insinuated into it.”
According to reports, police are also preparing to charge the son of a former senior cabinet minister as well. The suspect was allegedly one of those who beat Shitrit to death.
Berland was convicted of fraud in June and is currently in prison, as part of an 18 month plea deal.
Extremists Now After the Singer Mordechai Shapiro
First they came after their bikes, then they came to prohibit boys playing ball and even swimming, then they came after their phones and then the internet. Now they are against a family sitting together at a kosher concert, and read below how in a world gone absolutely mad they were able to convince R' Chaim Kanievski to write a letter to "admonish" those organizing these concerts.
These insane parasites don't care if the boys get bored to tears, they want them sitting home doing nothing.
There actually wasn't any "mixed dancing" at all ...
there were some boys dancing in their seats next to some seminary girls also dancing in their seats..
Wow... Hey maybe that would solve the Shidduch crises?
Mordechai Shapiro knowing whats good for him caved like a cheap cardboard box, whimpering like a sick puppy that he "wasn't aware of the "mixed dancing".
I think that the IDF should draft the "Extremists" for a couple of months.
Read and cry!
A musical concert which took place at Jerusalem’s Binyanei Haumah conference center Monday night has raised an uproar in the chareidi community after scenes emerged of chareidi men and women dancing adjacent to one another.
In the past, the gedolim have warned that such musical events can lead to a serious spiritual deterioration if they are not conducted in a kosher manner and with proper decorum. Last week, during the course of the Tzam’ah concerts which take place annually to celebrate the 19th of Kislev, the gedolim protested the fact that male singers sing at a concert for women only and the women dance during the course of the concerts.
However the concert on Monday which starred American chareidi singer Mordechai Shapira was a far more serious breach of rules, as the concert featured mixed seating and at various points men and women were dancing adjacent to one another. The concert was touted for the chareidi community and advertising in various chareidi journals and communities but the atmosphere was inappropriate.Various rabbis decried the frivolous atmosphere and one educator remarked that “as a result of the mixed seating things deteriorated to singing and dancing together. Even in the US where they are more open there are no such things. Even those singers who used to appear before mixed audiences don’t so so any more.”
Another educator criticized the “disgraceful scene” in which “yeshiva students were seen dancing next to sem girls as a chareidi singer performs is a terrible breach of rules and weakening of the chareidi fight for purity in our camp. At this rate the youth will soon question why we need to hold weddings and events with separation.”
Last week Rabbi Chaim Kanievski wrote a letter stating that “recently people who violate rules have begun to entice yeshiva students to all kinds of song evenings under the guise of raising spirits through music and song. When these are conducted without spiritual supervision the atmosphere is far from spiritual strengthening and is more entertainment and lapsing which can cause spiritual damage and wasting time from Torah study.
Rabbi Kanievski compared these evenings to a Moshav Leitzim, a place where mockers of Torah congregate.”
How Chaim Walder's Alleged Sexual Exploits Came to Light
By Rachel Kohn November 29, 2021 2:06 pm US EST(JTA) — In March 2021, reporting by Haaretz journalists Aaron Rabinowitz and Shira Elk revealed allegations of sexual abuse against Yehudah Meshi-Zahav [https://www.jta.org/2021/03/12/israel/zaka-founder-rabbi-yehuda-meshi-zahav-accused-of-molesting-minors], the founder of Zaka, the Jerusalem-based search-and-rescue unit and an Israel Prize recipient.
The revelations about Meshi-Zahav, who would later attempt suicide, led to shock in the haredi Orthodox world and, this week, the top prize given to Israeli journalists It also generated a flood of tips that led to a new investigation — and an unprecedented response [https://www.jta.org/2021/11/19/united-states/backlash-mounts-against-orthodox-childrens-book-author-accused-of-abusing-minors-surprising-many].
“After we published the Meshi Zahav story, the names of many senior haredi figures came to us, people about whom there were allegations of abuse of kids, of male students, of girls — everyone with their own story,” Rabinowitz said in a phone interview. “Roshei yeshivot [yeshiva heads], members of the media, educators, businessmen, all kinds of people.
“The name that came up most significantly, from many places and many directions, was [Chaim] Walder.”

"We are not democrats and not republicans.. We Are Yidden." Rabbi Schnall at the Aguda Convention
What?????
How many people believe that statement? How many?
Except for Rabbi Schnall and his rebbetzin, no one believes that lie!
Not ONE rabbi sitting smugly at that dais believed that for a second.
The chareidi political -economic system relies 100% on Democrat policies. They make these false claims so that they can promote the idea that politics isn't something they meaningfully engage in, since it's not Torahdik.

It's my murdered child's birthday
Today, November 27, my precious daughter Malki would have turned 36.
If only she hadn't stopped with a friend at Jerusalem's Sbarro pizzeria on her way to a summer camp counselors' meeting.
If only the evil Ahlam Tamimi had been arrested on her way to that target to satisfy her bloodlust.
If only Tamimi hadn't succeeded by bombing to death 15 innocent Jews.
If only our worst nightmare hadn't eventuated.
If only, if only...
But the reality is my angelic, generous, musical and loving daughter is gone while Tamimi is alive and free, enabled by the world's silence to boast publicly about her "accomplishment" and to urge others to emulate her.
She did just that some six weeks ago in a video address to Turkish children that has gone unreported in the news.
Among her words to them:
"I participated in two jihad attacks which produced thank the lord, the deaths of 15 Zionists... These 2 jihad attacks are a crown on my head. Thank god, I entered history doing the best deeds."
This dangerous monster lives under the protection of Jordan's King Abdullah II who persists in defying the United States' demand for extradition.
His widely revered father, the late King Hussein, signed an extradition treaty with the US in 1995. Jordan gave formal assurances to the US prior to it being put into effect that all Jordanian formalities had been satisfied. The US says today that the treaty is in full force and effect. Jordan makes no formal statement about this but conveys in a variety of ways that it views the treaty as invalid due to a decision of its highest court in 2017, twenty-two years after the treaty took effect.
Despite his recalcitrance, Abdullah somehow still garners the adulation of powerbrokers across the globe while Jordan annually receives US aid amounting to billions of dollars.
And all the while, Tamimi, one of only two females listed among the FBI's 25 Most Wanted Terrorists, lives free and famous in Jordan.
When will this brazen injustice be rectified!
We invite people to click here and sign the petition urging the US to put firm pressure on Jordan to extradite the terrorist as the Jordan/US treaty requires. You don't have to be US citizens to sign it.

Iranian official calls for Israel's destruction Just Days Before the "Satmar/Nadler Iran Peace Talks"
Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, a top-level spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, called for the destruction of Israel days before the resumption of nuclear talks between Iran and world powers.
“We will not back off from the annihilation of Israel, even one millimeter,” Shekarchi was quoted by i24NEWS as having told the ISNA news agency.
“We want to destroy Zionism in the world,” he added.
Shekarchi also denounced the diplomatic ties established with Israel by Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, dubbing the moves “intolerable”.
Iranian officials regularly threaten Israel. The most recent threat came from the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's aerospace forces, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who said that Israel was "doomed to disappear" and that any action by Israel against the Islamic Republic would hasten that disappearance.
Previously, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, spoke at the United Nations Durban IV conference, where he said his nation’s "willpower is dedicated" to the elimination of Zionism.
In September, Iranian Defense Minister Mohammad Reza Ashtiani warned Israel that "any unwise and stupid measure will trigger a crushing response from Iran that would inflict heavy costs on the aggressor."
Shekarchi’s comments come as nuclear talks between Iran and world powers are set to resume in Vienna on Monday.
Iran has gradually scaled back its compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal it signed with world powers in response to former US President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the agreement in May of 2018.
Iran has repeatedly demanded that the US lift sanctions imposed on Iran as part of the nuclear talks and also reassure Iran it will not abandon the deal again.
the gadol hador in general opposes concerts so why are they still happening? If people need an “outlet” they can read a story about an adam godol, plus there is no heter to have concerts or music in general once the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed, 1 know of a family that doesnt allow their children to play or listen to any music for this reason.
