New York Antisemites Now targeting Little Children
MSNBC invities the vicious antisemite Al Sharpton to give commentary on Texas synagogue attack
MSNBC was excoriated by critics Monday for including Al Sharpton on a panel of analysts discussing the weekend attack on a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, that resulted in an hours-long standoff and suspected hostage-taker Malik Faisal Akram dead.
Sharpton, a weekend host on the liberal network, has a checkered past when it comes to accusations of antisemitism, most notably in New York City during the late 1980s and early 1990s amid strained relations between Jewish and Black communities at the time.
Nicolle Wallace, known for gushing over her liberal guests, has a particular affinity for Sharpton, often inviting him on her daytime program, "Deadline: White House," and Critics took to social media to blast MSNBC for allowing Sharpton to participate on the panel, with some suggesting he was "an expert at targeting Jewish communities," and others accusing him of being unrepentant for his role in the New York City violence.

Golan covered in white as Jerusalem braces for first snow in years
The residents of the Golan Heights in northern Israel woke up Wednesday to a thick layer of snow covering the ground, with a dusting also expected in the higher peaks of central Israel including, possibly, Jerusalem.
Emergency, rescue and medical services were gearing up for a major storm that is set to last through Thursday.
Police said major roads in the Golan have been closed to traffic while schools in the area remained shut due to the weather conditions.
The snow began on the highest peaks early Wednesday and spread to the rest of the plateau, with some falling on the Galilee highlands.
On Mount Hermon, the highest point in the country, 15 centimeters of snow fell at the lower levels while on the summit 25 centimeters of snow gathered. Due to the weather, the site’s ski center was closed.
Temperatures are expected to drop during the course of the day across the country. Flood warnings were issued in coastal and other low-lying areas.
Heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms, will continue along the coastal plain until Thursday.
Don't Bother Looking For Your Lost Amazon Package It's been Stolen in Lawless LA
Packages stolen from Union Pacific cargo containers and then ransacked, thousands upon thousands of them, are regularly strewn along the tracks in the Alameda corridor that stretches through downtown Los Angeles. The scene is simply shocking (see, e.g., embedded video posted by the city’s CBS News affiliate).
Why is it happening?
CA removes curriculum which forced students to chant to Aztec god of human sacrifice in order to become ‘warriors’ for ‘social justice’
Earlier today, conservative education activist Chris Rufo reported: “Following a lawsuit from parents, the State of California has permanently removed the ‘In Lak Ech Affirmation’ from the state curriculum, which would have forced students to chant to the Aztec god of human sacrifice in order to become ‘warriors’ for ‘social justice.’”
Yes, in case you’ve forgotten (or were unaware in the first place): The state of California wanted to make kids sing ditties to Tezkatlipoka. For those who aren’t familiar with the Aztec deity, he’s the literal god of human sacrifice. Oh, and cannibalism. Just to give you a sense of what kind of culture the California Board of Education is revering, here’s Cameron Hilditch on the history of Aztec ritual human sacrifice:
The remains of more than 40 boys and girls were discovered at the excavation site of the great pyramid, most bearing the marks of severe and prolonged torture.
This was to be expected given that the Aztec pictorial codices that have come down to us invariably show the children crying before being sacrificed.
The priests of Tlaloc believed the tears of innocent children to be particularly pleasing to the god, and they took great care to ensure that their little victims were crying before and throughout the ceremony so that the smoke of the sacrificial fire would carry their tears up to the god above at the moment of death.
The ritual began with the bones of the children being broken, their hands or their feet burned, and carvings etched into their flesh. They were then paraded before the celebrants of the ritual while crying. Insufficient tears from the children were believed to result in insufficient rains for the crops that year, so no brutality was spared. At the end of it all, the mutilated victims were burned alive.

The new Florida? Record number of US retirees relocate to Israel in 2021
A few weeks ago, Joel Tenenbaum, 81, and Marilyn Berkowitz, 84, arrived in Tel Aviv on an El Al flight from New York ready to start their new lives in Israel.
They had met through JDate five years earlier. Each was widowed; Tenebaum had been married for 47 years, Berkowitz, known as Lyn, for 49.
A retired New York trial lawyer raised in Brooklyn, Tenenbaum always had felt an affinity for Israel — fueled since childhood by Hebrew school and the movie “Exodus.” Berkowitz, a former university dean’s assistant in New Jersey, had been a frequent visitor to Israel ever since her son moved here in 1991.
Both are longtime volunteers for the Israeli nonprofit organization Sar-El. They now share a rental apartment in Tel Aviv’s trendy Florentin neighborhood, close to the ulpan where they will soon enroll in an intensive Hebrew language program.
“A lot of our contemporaries have gone to Florida,” Berkowitz said. “But I think they should become sandbirds, not snowbirds.”
In fact, more and more older American Jews are opting to spend their golden years in the Jewish state.

In Wake of Texas Synagogue Hostage Situation , the Meshigina ADL Warns Against ‘Islamophobia’
As the late Bob Grant would say:
it's sick out there and getting sicker"
So you might think that after an Islamic jihadi stormed a Texas synagogue and took hostages, the ADL would be drawing attention to Islamic anti-Semitism, as well as to the targeting of synagogues by Islamic jihadis in the past.
Instead, it once again proves that it is more interested in preserving the Leftist narrative than in combating anti-Semitism: the ADL is very concerned that some of the reactions to the hostage-taking incident have been, in its view, “Islamophobic.”
Viznitzer Rebbe R' Mendel Doesn't Want Chassidim to Caption on Wedding Invitations " With the Holy Rabbi's Strength" anymore
"With the help of Hashem with the Holy Rebbe's Strength"
Isn't this blasphemy ? Outright apikorses, this suggests that Hashem, G-d forbid, needs the Viznitzer Rebbe to run the world! OMG
I'm glad he put an end to this Christian statement!
I'm always amused when these chareidim who worship their rebbe as a deity, mock Chabadniks who claim their late rebbe is Moshiach!
So it's ok for Viznitzers for years to believe that their rebbe is a deity, but not ok for Chabadnikers to believe their rebbe is Moshiach which is not actually apikorses!
Dudi Shwamenfeld a Chareidie Newscaster Accused of Sexual Molestation
Dudi Shwamenfeld has been named as the Haredi radio host accused by multiple women of sexual abuse.
News of the story broke earlier this month, when it emerged that at least six women had accused the then-unnamed radio host of sexual assault. Now, according to the Ynet news site, at least one of the complainants has filed an official police complaint against Shwamenfeld, a longtime host on the popular Kol Berama radio station that serves the ultra-Orthodox community.
The woman, now 31, told Ynet that she was 19 when she first heard Shwamenfeld’s radio show and decided to reach out to him via Facebook. “We started to correspond. At a certain point he suggested we meet, but I didn’t want to,” she said. But she said Shwamenfeld convinced her to meet and “promised it would be interesting.”

IDF to allow married soldiers to return home for day of mikva immersion
The IDF has decided that every conscript who is married will now be entitled to a day off on the day a female soldier herself or a male soldier's wife immerses in the mikvah.
According to the new policy, the details of which have been distributed to all units in the past week, the policy will allow soldiers to take off for 24 hours which will not be counted towards the soldier's vacation days.
In the document that was distributed, it was emphasized that "the commander of the soldier is obligated to allow departure for the arranged day set forth in the policy, he can influence the date of departure." It was further emphasized that "this policy will be reviewed by the Personnel Division."
Under the new policy, soldiers in training will be entitled to return home one day each month, while soldiers who have completed their training and are performing their regular service will be entitled to return home one day every two months.
Major Eddie Schwartz, Assistant Chief Military Rabbi, welcomed the new directive in an internal WhatsApp group of the military rabbinate. "The issue of release on the night of immersion for married soldiers has been a complex issue for years," he wrote. "At the end of hard work, which began at the initiative of the rabbi of the Nahal Brigade, and continued with the work of the IDF training staff, a directive was issued last week that every married soldier would be entitled to a monthly 'arrangement day'."
"This will not solve all the cases, and it is important to remember that there are certainly operational constraints, but the new directive will solve many of the cases."
Under Jewish law (halakha), a woman who discerns menstrual blood cannot have relations with her husband for seven days after her menstrual flow has ended (a period of at least five days) and until at the end of the seven days she immerses in a ritual bath (mikvah). The new regulations will benefit religious soldiers who follow the halakha.
Texas hostage: We weren't rescued, we escaped
Our interview with Jeff Cohen, one of the hostages in Beth Israel Texas synagogue. He tells us the terrorist made antisemitic remarks saying Jews control the world and the media. He describes the terrifying moments he and how eventually they escaped: @N12News pic.twitter.com/X6p6Mqvo3S

Jeff Cohen, one of four people held hostage by a gunman at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, this past Shabbat, recalled the harrowing experience in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 News on Monday.
In the interview with journalist Yuna Leibzon, Cohen said the terrorist made antisemitic remarks, saying Jews control the world and the media. He also stated that the hostages eventually escaped and were not rescued by security forces as reported.
“It’s been reported that we were released or that we were rescued. That is not the truth. The truth is that we escaped. We escaped because we were preparing all along to take the initiative when we could have it,” said Cohen.
“I strategically and tactfully made sure that I was sitting near an exit,” he recalled. “I helped my friends and my rabbi. We got us all to be sitting in the right spot.”
“At one point,” continued Cohen, “our attacker was not paying attention. He sat down. I think what he did was he put his gun down and poured some soda. Much to Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker’s credit, he picked up a chair, threw it at him and yelled ‘run!’ and we were out.”
“In the first five to 30 minutes, when you don’t know who this guy is, we had no clue, and he’s spouting all these truly crazy things, at that point I got myself into the place where it was likely that I was not going home,” he replied when asked by Leibzon whether he thought he would come out of this ordeal alive.
“However, throughout the whole ordeal, it was very important to me, and to all of us, that we all got out."

Jewish notary was likely behind betrayal of Anne Frank to the Nazis
Researchers investigating the circumstances of Jewish diarist Anne Frank’s betrayal to the Nazis say they have likely identified the suspect responsible for alerting German forces in Amsterdam to the whereabouts of the Jewish teen in hiding.
The team, which includes former FBI agent Vince Pankoke, have named local Jewish notary Arnold van den Bergh as being the top suspect.
After six years trying to decipher the mystery, the team, which includes historians and other experts, found that van den Bergh was, despite the rounding up of local Jews – who were then transported to concentration camps – was still living in Amsterdam during the war, even after the Amsterdam Jewish Council was disbanded.
Van den Bergh, a former member of the council, was, apparently spared the fate of its other members, all of whom were sent to concentration camps.
The researchers also found evidence suggesting that someone from the Amsterdam Jewish Council was leaking information to the Nazi occupiers.
This is not the first time van der Bergh’s name has come up as a possible suspect. The team found an anonymous note, kept in the files of a previous investigation, which was sent to Anne Frank’s father, Otto Frank, telling him that van der Bergh had betrayed his daughter.
Biden totally off the wall ...
Biden: "I don't think there is sufficient information to know why he targeted that synagogue why he insisted on the release of someone who's been in prison for over 10 years... why he was using anti-Semitic & anti-Israeli comments."
