The IRS comes after pro-Israel groups, but protects Hamas

 

David Boim was only 17 years old when he was shot and killed while waiting at a bus stop north of Jerusalem. The American teenager’s parents, Stanley and Joyce, have spent a quarter of a century since trying to bring Hamas, the Islamic terror group behind the attack, and its funders in the United States to justice. Their lawsuits have targeted, among others, the Holy Land Foundation which was found in federal court to have provided “material aid to Hamas” in what became the largest terrorism financing prosecution case in the United States.

The Justice Department stated that, “from its inception, HLF existed to support Hamas. Before HLF was designated as a Specially Designated Terrorist by the Treasury Department and shut down in December 2001, it was the largest U.S. Muslim charity.”

It was also a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The IRS had allowed money used to fund Islamic terrorists to be funneled through a tax-deductible organization. And that was not the first time or the last.

The Boims are still fighting in court over what they allege are new non-profits that are really ‘alter egos’ that were set up after the Hamas fundraisers lost criminal and civil lawsuits.

One of those is American Muslims for Palestine.

Former Prime Minister Olmert a Covicted Felon Calls For Violence To Stop Judicial Reform

 

Ex-Con the Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Monday called for the protest movement against the government’s judicial reform proposal to move to the next stage, one fueled by violent confrontation.

“What is needed is to move to the next stage, the stage of war, and war is not waged with speeches. War is waged in a face-to-face battle, head-to-head and hand-to-hand, and that is what will happen here,” he said in an interview with DemocraTV, according to Israel National News.

“It’s good to see 100,000 people, but that’s not what will lead the real fight. The real fight will break through these fences and enter into a real war,” he added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party announced on Tuesday that it had filed a police complaint over Olmert’s “dangerous incitement.”

Olmert comments came after Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid slammed the Israeli government on Monday at a mass rally against the reform plan outside the Knesset.

“Millions of Israelis are watching us, seeing how a corrupt, extremist government wants to destroy the country at record speed,” said Lapid. “They’re trembling as rulers have always trembled when they discovered that there were people facing them who were not ready to give up. We will fight in the streets, we’ll fight until we win,” he added.

Those comments, in turn, came after Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai warned of “bloodshed.”

Lakewood "Admission System " for High School Girls Collapses Dur to Snobbery & Sinas Chinum

 

The system for girls’ acceptance into High Schools, developed nearly two decades ago with the guidance of BMG Mashgiach Rav Matisyahu Salomon, has completely collapsed for this year, leaving parents and schools scrambling.

The High School Vaad, established to ensure that all girls are placed, sent a letter to parents and schools saying in part: “For the last 18 years we had a system in place, and we had a coordinated approach to High School acceptance. This has fallen apart this year, and girls are being offered High School acceptance with quick ultimatums. For this year, due to these unforeseen circumstances, there is no longer a system.“

The letter added, “To high schools that have been following protocol–schools are currently accepting, and you should do the same.”

The current Vaad system which has been in place until now oversees a process in which every High School tries to accept girls simultaneously, to ensure every girl has a slot.

According to one Lakewood news source, quoting an unnamed askan, “This year, one school stepped out of the system and accepted girls before the usual time. This had a ripple effect on other schools who scrambled to hold interviews and fill up their enrollment.”

As a result, hundreds of students have reportedly been told they have a slot, yet hundreds more have been left out or have not even been interviewed yet, since under the previous system they still had time before any acceptances were issued.

According to one report, although the Vaad is not operating in official capacity this year, it will nevertheless undertake to assist every girl to be placed.

It’s not clear what pushed one school to undercut the process and jump the gun on its acceptance process.

France, Germany, Italy, UK & US Don't Want Jews to Build in Their Very Own Country

 


Interesting, very interesting. Germany is the country responsible for the deaths of over 6 million Jews, France is one the most anti-semetic countries in the entire world, the UK turned back Jews that survived the concentration camps and who entered the then Palestine back to Germany to be murdered. Italy has a history of persecuting Jews for thousands of years. And these are the countries to make this disgusting evil statement! 

The Foreign Ministers of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States issued a joint statement condemning the decision of Israel's political-security cabinet to authorize the construction of 9,000 new housing units in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

"We – the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and Italy, the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, and the Secretary of State of the United States – are deeply troubled by the Israeli government’s announcement that it is advancing nearly 10,000 settlement units and intends to begin a process to normalize nine outposts that were previously deemed illegal under Israeli law. We strongly oppose these unilateral actions which will only serve to exacerbate tensions between Israelis and Palestinians and undermine efforts to achieve a negotiated two-state solution," the foreign ministers said in their joint statement.

"We continue to support a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in the Middle East, which must be achieved through direct negotiations between the parties. Israelis and Palestinians both deserve to live in peace, with equal measures of freedom, security, and prosperity. We reaffirm our commitment to helping Israelis and Palestinians fulfill the vision of an Israel fully integrated into the Middle East living alongside a sovereign, viable Palestinian state. We continue to closely monitor developments on the ground which impact the viability of the two-state solution and stability in the region at large," they said.

The EU said yesterday (Monday): “Israeli authorities announced on Sunday that they would consider nine illegal settler outposts in the occupied West Bank as legal under Israeli law. The European Union rejects this decision and reiterates its position that settlements are illegal under international law and that it will not recognize any changes to the 1967 borders other than those agreed by the parties. The EU renews its call on the Israeli authorities to halt settlement construction and to reverse these latest decisions as a matter of urgency.”

“The EU is gravely worried by the heightened tensions and increased violence. In the current worrying context, it is important to consider steps to de-escalate the situation and avoid unilateral decisions and actions that would undermine the viability of a negotiated two-state solution to the conflict, and fuel more tensions,” added the statement.

“The EU stands ready to help the parties to rebuild a path towards dialogue and work together to reverse the negative cycle of violence and to avoid any further loss of lives.”

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also criticized Israel’s decision in a statement of his own on Monday.

"We are deeply troubled by Israel’s decision yesterday to advance reportedly nearly 10,000 settlement units and to begin a process to retroactively legalize nine outposts in the West Bank that were previously illegal under Israeli law," Blinken wrote.

"Like previous administrations, Democratic and Republican, we strongly oppose such unilateral measures, which exacerbate tensions and undermine the prospects for a negotiated two-state solution," he added.

"As I have previously stated, anything that takes us away from the vision of two states for two peoples is detrimental to Israel’s long-term security, its identity as a Jewish and democratic state, and to our vision of equal measures of security, freedom, prosperity, and dignity for Israelis and Palestinians alike. We call on all parties to avoid additional actions that can further escalate tensions in the region and to take practical steps that can improve the well-being of the Palestinian people," Blinken concluded.


'Left-wingers are the most violent, deceitful thugs in the country'

 

MK David (Dudi) Amsalem (Likud) has launched a verbal tirade against the opposition parties and those demonstrating on the streets to protest the government's proposed judicial reforms.

"Left-wingers are the most violent, deceitful thugs in the country, and we are going to push these legal reforms through to the end," Amsalem said. "That is the task of this government."

Referring to Monday's demonstration outside the Knesset in which tens of thousands of people participated, he said, "Look at the anarchy you're creating. You're a gang of thugs, inciting to rebellion. David Hodek said to shoot; who do you want to shoot? Me? My children? We're going to complete this legal revolution regardless of your rage, and anyone who breaks the law will sit in jail."

Amsalem also noted that, "Former IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz said that he would give an order not to report for reserve service. And these are the people who are supposedly protecting us and working [for the country]. Well, I have something to tell you. I also work, me, and another two-and-a-half million people, we all work for the country, even though it's quite true that most of us work for you, cleaning your houses and gardens. I saw a lot of things glistening at the demonstration, and later I realized it was the Rolex watches worn by the protesters. Just go and see how many Mercedes they have."

Amsalem presented the battle as one "between the elites," saying that, "You're prepared to give us degrees and even cars, but not to allow us to rule. You never granted us that: not in the security forces, not in the judicial system, not in academia, not in culture, and certainly not in the Supreme Court and the State Prosecution Service. And in the Prisons Service, do you know who the wardens are? Moroccans and Druze."

In conclusion, Amsalem, who is headed for the Justice Ministry as a junior minister, addressed former Knesset Speaker MK Mickey Levy (Yesh Atid), with whom he has clashed multiple times in the past. "At the meeting of the Knesset Constitution Committee there were people jumping on the tables. You're allowed to kick and bite, run red lights and run over people, but Amsalem confines himself to words. You should be ashamed of yourselves. And you should start getting used to the idea that you're in the opposition."

In this Tragic Comedy ... Since everyone had classified docs, prosecutors are going after Trump for obstruction

 

The Biden Justice Department has a dilemma.

Up until January 9, 2023, when CBS News reported that President Joe Biden had a classified documents scandal of his own, you could have bet the ranch that DOJ was poised to indict former President Donald Trump for illegally retaining national-security intelligence at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Prosecutors were getting their ducks in a row, taking the kind of steps that are only taken when the government is very serious about filing charges: appointing a special counsel, forcing former executive officials to testify before the grand jury despite potential privilege claims, aggressively litigating in the district and appellate courts to prevent Trump’s legal team from inhibiting their probe.

Aveenu Malkeinu ... Motty Steinmetz

 


What is behind the shidduch crisis among Modern Orthodox Jews?

 

In 2019 a large-scale study, the first of its kind, was undertaken to explore aspects related to shidduch dating [https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/culture/shidduch-app-now-available-in-english-685452] in the North American Orthodox Jewish world. Called the DAAS project, the study was designed to elicit information about marriage rates, and the experiences of individuals from across the spectrum of Orthodox Judaism about the shidduch dating process.

Shidduch dating [https://www.jpost.com/j-spot/article-726351] is now commonly used across all denominations among the Orthodox. It requires some variation of a written description of the individual dater and often meeting with a shadchan (matchmaker) to arrange a date with another who may be considered an appropriate match.

This study is unique in that over 10,000 responses were collected. Subjective feelings of shidduch dating [https://www.jpost.com/blogs/confessions-of-a-jewish-matchmaker/what-does-the-word-shidduch-mean-543400] for those responding indicated strong feelings of anxiety, lack of support and too intense a focus on superficial components of individuals who are most often presented in what is called a shidduch resume. The pressure to get married before one feels ready, as well as the stigma and desperation that those who are not married felt was highlighted.

Chayim Nissim Cohen a Deranged Psychopath Sued & Charged with Sexual Abuse of Child”

 

Chayim Nissim Cohen formerly known as Jeffrey Lujan Vejil of Odessa Texas, is the subject of both a civil suit and a criminal indictment for sexual abuse of children. 

Cohen gained some notoriety for being a Chassidic, single, adoptive father of 9 in Houston Texas. He has been written about in many Jewish and non-Jewish media outlets, and runs a website about his family called "Our Unique Family." Cohen has presented in recent years. 

The Rebbe with his 9 goyim

For starters, in a 2019 Jewish Press article Cohen seems to have represented himself as a Williamsburg native who moved to Texas in his 20s and had a brief stint in social work. He represented himself in the same way in an interview for the Adath Israel of San Francisco blog

Neither of those things is true.  

According to the civil suit filed against him, Hayim Nissim Cohen was born Jeffrey Lujan Vejil in 1984 in Odessa, Texas. This is confirmed by a quick Google search finding only one Jeffrey Lujan Vejil in the state of Texas born in 1984. According to the Odessa High School website Jeffrey was part of the graduating class of 2002. In 2005 a picture of him was featured in the Odessa American assisting in relief efforts at a Red Cross shelter set up at UTPB in Odessa, Texas following Hurricane Rita. While he is listed as having attended high school from 1998-2002, I couldn’t find any records online of which college he may have attended to study social work. I was also unable to find any social work license, current or expired, for either Hayim Nissim Cohen, or Jeffrey Vejil. Given the image in the Odessa American, Cohen was not a Williamsburg native, and definitely was born, raised, and lived in Texas until 2005.

Neturie Karta's Friends the Palestinians ,Celebrate Yerushalayim Terror Attack with Ghoulish Cartoon

 

As media outlets across the world play the “both sides” game over the horrific murder of a newly married avreich and two brothers, ages 6 and 8, in Yerushalayim on Friday, Palestinian terror supporters aren’t hiding their glee over the cold-blooded massacre of innocent civilians and children.

A sickening cartoon making the rounds on social media portrays Palestinians gathered around a table and partaking in a meal made out of the head of one of Friday’s terror victims.

The stomach-turning cartoon’s caption reads: “The best Friday and the best upside-down (Mansaf).” Mansaf is a popular Arab dish that actually has an antisemitic legend connected to it, in which the ancient king of Moav told his people to cook meat with milk as an insult to Jews, who cannot eat it.

An Al Jazeera article about the dish stated that the dish continues to be served and that its cookers use it as a way of “declaring their enmity towards the Jews until the Day of Judgement.”

A commenter wrote, “If this is true, then eating mansaf is a sort of jihad against the Jews.”

These are the people – nay, the animals – that the world at large insists Israel must make peace with. Animals who not only delight in the murder of innocent Jews – including one children – but hand out sweets, dance in the streets, and create vile cartoons about, all in the name of stomping out Jews.

There’s no “both sides” argument to make. One side despises death, the other revels in it.


Jacob Kornbluh a Soros Lover and Stooge

 

The Yam Putz Yankele Kornpink

On Friday, Forward columnist Jacob Kornbluh accused President Trump of using an antisemitic trope to raise money.

In a tweet, Kornbluh claimed that a Trump fundraising email accusing George Soros of trying to buy Joe Biden a second term, “invokes an antisemitic trope that depicts the Jewish billionaire as controlling politicians.”

He wrote a column about this as well, saying: “Trump assailed Jewish billionaire George Soros in a series of fundraising emails, accusing him of aiming to “single-handedly buy” President Joe Biden’s reelection.”

He continued, “The Hungarian-born Democratic megadonor and Holocaust survivor has long been the target of antisemitic tropes and touted as a boogeyman by the far right. Casting a Jewish individual as a puppet master who manipulates national events for malign purposes is a common antisemitic trope.”

The Jewish Democratic Council of America echoed similar sentiments on Twitter, “Just because accusing Jewish donors of buying elections has become part of Donald Trump’s regular vocabulary, it doesn’t make it any less dangerous each time he does it.”

United Hatzalah mission leaves Turkey after serious security threat

 

Due to a significant security threat on the Israeli rescue and relief mission in Turkey and following a joint situational assessment with the heads of the IDF Home Front Command and Search and Rescue Units which took place on Saturday night, United Hatzalah CEO Eli Pollack and Vice President of Operations Dov Maisel instructed the head of United Hatzalah’s rescue mission Major (res.) Yossi Cohen to end the mission and return to Israel as soon as possible.

The team quickly packed up their equipment and gear and made hasty arrangements to fly back to Israel at the earliest opportunity. Due to the lack of available planes, Dr. Miriam Adelson donated her private jet to fly the team back to Israel already on Sunday.

Maisel said: “We knew that there was a certain level of risk in sending our team to this area of Turkey, which is close to the Syrian border but we took the necessary steps in order to mitigate the threat for the sake of our lifesaving mission. Unfortunately, we have just received intelligence of a concrete and immediate threat on the Israeli delegation and we have to put the security of our personnel first. We are extremely proud of what our team has accomplished in just a few days, assisting in the rescue of 15 individuals in cooperation with the IDF Home Front Command, Israel’s Search and Rescue units, local rescue forces, and the Turkish Red Cross. I want to thank Dr. Adelson for assisting us in bringing our people back quickly and safely.”

On Tuesday, United Hatzalah of Israel sent a delegation of 25 first responders and experts in search and rescue operations together with 10 tons of medical supplies and humanitarian aid to Turkey on a special charter flight

This is who the friends of Neturei Karta Murdered!

 

Always remember that the NETUREI KARTA/ Satmar are on the side of the terrorists, praising them, and encouraging them in their efforts to make Israel 100% Judenrein = 100% free of Jews.

They may seem like a small problem, but they play a significant role in turning world-opinion against Israel.

Since hundreds of millions of people make no distinction between Israel and Jews, this means that they also play a significant role in turning world-opinion against ALL Jews.

When will good Jews wake up, and take serious actions against the Neturei Karta/Satmar?


During the course of the Shabbos, a third victim of the brutal ramming attack which occurred in Jerusalem Friday was declared dead. 8-year-old Asher Paley was critically injured in the attack and died of his injuries on Shabbos. His 6-year-old brother Yaakov Yisrael died on Friday and was buried minutes before Shabbos.

Asher arrived at the hospital during resuscitation and in critical condition and numerous teams from the trauma unit and the emergency medical unit as well as the pediatric ICU fought for his life for hours before he was declared dead. He will be buried next to his brother on Motzaei Shabbos.

Asher and Yaakov Yisrael’s father Avraham Paley is in moderate condition at the Hadassah Har Hatzofim hospital. The brothers’ 10-year-old brother Moshe who was lightly injured has been released home.

The other victim of the attack was Alter Shlomo Lederman (20) a young married avreich from the Pinsk-Karlin chasidim.


National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced at the scene of the attack that Israel needed to make a “Defensive Shield No. 2” operation, similar to the 2002 operation in Jenin to clear terrorist cells in the city.

However defense officials dismissed Ben’Gvir’s statement, saying that such decisions are taken in conjunction with the entire defense establishment and in the security cabinet.

Initial investigations revealed that the terrorist was a mentally deranged individual who was released from a psychiatric institution this week and whose situation had deteriorated. The defense official said that the terrorist lived in a rented apartment in the Issawiya neighborhood in East Jerusalem and therefore it is unclear whether there is a legal permit to seal of demolish his home.

The source added that Prime Minister Netanyahu does not see a reason to adopt collective punishment for East Jerusalem Arabs in response to the attack, especially as Israel is trying to calm tensions prior to the Ramadan month which occurs in Nissan, which would enable the defense establishment to focus on the Iranian threat.

The defense official added that “there are operational steps to be taken against a lone attacker but this must be done with balance. There is a large community in East Jerusalem which isn’t involved in attacks. We want people to benefit from freedom of worship during Ramadan and Pesach.”

High Court, AG, Planning Coup D’état by Declaring Netanyahu ‘Incapacitated’

 

The High Court on Friday ordered Attorney general Gali Baharav-Miara and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to respond within a month to the petition of the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, which demands that Netanyahu be declared incapacitated for his involvement in the judicial reform.

According to the Knesset website, the term “incapacitated” describes a situation in which a government official cannot fulfill his duties for certain reasons. The lack of ability to fulfill these duties can be temporary if the office bearer will return to fulfill his position, or permanent if it is clear that the office bearer will not return to fulfill his duties.
Regarding the incapacity of the Prime Minister, Article 16 of the Basic Law: The government establishes instructions regarding the filling of the position of the Prime Minister. According to section (a), if the prime minister is absent from the country, his deputy will call the government meetings and preside over them. According to section (b), if the Prime Minister is temporarily unable to fulfill his duties, the Acting Prime Minister will take his place. If 100 consecutive days have passed in which the acting prime minister served instead of the prime minister, the prime minister is considered to be permanently prevented from fulfilling his duties. According to Article 20(b) of the Basic Law, if the Prime Minister is prevented from fulfilling his duties permanently, the government is considered to have resigned on the 101st day on which the Acting Prime Minister holds office.

And that, folks, is how a judicial Coup D’état happens in Israel:

Left-wing activist baker who believed in abolishing police dies after robbers mowed her down at bank in Oakland – victim’s family say killers shouldn’t go to jail as murders soar 50%

 


The family of an Oakland baker and former publisher who espoused anarchist beliefs believe that the thieves who killed her in a daylight robbery and assault shouldn’t go to jail and her death shouldn’t be used to argue for more police.

Jennifer Angel, 48, founded Angel Cakes bakery in Oakland in 2008. Prior to that, she was a publisher of what she described as ‘radical, progressive’ magazines and a publicist for authors.

On Monday, Angel was leaving her car in front of a bank in uptown Oakland when two robbers smashed her car window and ran off with her belongings, her fiance Ocean Mottley said. 

She then went after the robbers’ getaway car, catching up with it but getting trapped in its door and being dragged over 50 feet. Her head was crushed on the sidewalk and the car drove away.

By Thursday, her family had confirmed her death after spending days in a coma at a local hospital

AT&T Stock Loses $10 Billion in Value After Dumping Newsmax


Since DirecTV dropped Newsmax on Jan. 24, AT&T’s stock has fallen by almost 7%, wiping nearly $10 billion from its market value.

AT&T, the 70% owner of DirecTV, has come under fierce criticism after deplatforming Newsmax from its satellite TV systems — the second conservative channel it has removed in the past year, with OAN going last April.

Days after the Newsmax drop, former President Donald Trump called on Americans to cancel not only DirecTV but all AT&T services, including cellular and wireless services.


“I think it’s deplorable,” Trump said of the cancellation. “Newsmax did well in the ratings, so they actually took something off that was actually doing well in the ratings, as opposed to other shows that don’t.”

Arab Savages Murder 6 Year Old and a 20 year-old- Recently Married Man in Yerushalayim at a Bus Stop

 




Two people were killed and five more injured in a terrorist ramming attack in Jerusalem Friday afternoon.The attack occurred at 1:27 p.m. Friday at a bus stop in the Ramot neighborhood of the capital.

According to preliminary reports, the terrorist rammed his car into a group of pedestrians who were waiting for a bus on Golda Meir Boulevard, on the edge of Ramot near the Tomb of Samuel (Nebi Samuel National Park).

Witnesses say the terrorist, who has been identified as 31-year-old Issawiya resident Hussein Karaka, has been eliminated.

Emergency first responders from MDA and United Hatzalah were dispatched to the scene to treat the injured. Two children injured in the attack were initially listed in critical condition, with two other victims listed as being seriously injured, and two in moderate condition. Two of the victims, including a six-year-old boy, later succumbed to their injuries.

"A car hit the people at the bus stop. Volunteers are currently performing CPR on a young boy approximately eight years old," said United Hatzalah CEO Eli Pollack. "Another man in his late 20s is in critical condition. We treated three other three people who were hurt in the incident."

Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center reported that one of the victims, a man in his 40s, was admitted with moderate injuries. Four other victims were evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

Two children injured in the attack were initially listed in critical condition, with two other victims listed as being seriously injured, and two in moderate condition.

Two of the victims, including a six-year-old boy, later succumbed to their injuries.

"A car hit the people at the bus stop. Volunteers are currently performing CPR on a young boy approximately eight years old," said United Hatzalah CEO Eli Pollack. "Another man in his late 20s is in critical condition. We treated three other three people who were hurt in the incident."

Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center reported that one of the victims, a man in his 40s, was admitted with moderate injuries.

Four other victims were evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

"The scene was terrible when we arrived," said MDA first responder Shraga Rosenthal. "We saw a vehicle near the bus stop that hit pedestrians that were waiting. We saw six victims near each other. Two of them were six-year-old children who were unconscious with severe multi-system injuries." "A 27-year-old and a 30-year-old male were unconscious, and two further victims were conscious with limb injuries.  "We provided first aid, and performed CPR on the two children. This is a very serious incident.”

MDA paramedic Lishai Shemesh, who was in the area at the time of the attack, said: “I was in the car with my wife and children and noticed a car driving fast into the bus stop and crushing the people who were waiting there."

"I stopped at the side and immediately ran towards the victims. A security person neutralized the terrorist. It was a shocking scene, we saw several victims including 6-8 year old children who were lying unconscious. We immediately began to triage the victims and provide life-saving treatment. MDA teams were immediately at the scene in large numbers, and continued treatment while conveying to hospital. I joined one of the ambulances and we drove a 26-year-old male with a head injury in serious condition to Shaare Zedek hospital."
