Major Antisemitic Abuse at JFK Airport

 

Liz Mair, a well-known American political and communications consultant and president of Mair Strategies LLC. claimed to have been subject to antisemitic treatment at JFK Airport in Queens, New York because of her Jewish-sounding last name.

In a thread posted to Twitter, Mair claimed that airport staff single out haredi Jewish passengers, who she calls 'ultra-Orthodox.' "Since this is the third time in a row that I’ve witnessed major anti-Semitic behavior from JFK Airport staff— especially but not only TSA— I’m going on a rant about it. Typically it’s just generic rudeness, yelling at people who are obviously Jewish (eg ultra-Orthodox) while treating everyone else nice as pie, etc. Today was much worse."

"Everyone we saw who was identifiably Jewish who tried to progress through security was forced to take off WAY more clothing than anyone who didn’t appear to be Jewish. One woman appeared to be asked to remove her wig," she said,

Orthodox women cover their hair after marriage for reasons of modesty. Many wear wigs while in public.

She went on to say that she was subject to this same treatment because of her name. "JFK Airport security will not comply with the rules for over 75s if the passengers are obviously Jewish. This includes non-ultra-Orthodox whose passports have been checked and names noticed. I’m not Jewish, but everyone in America thinks “Mair” is Jewish. Surprise, surprise, after an initial look at my passport, they steered me and my kid into the line with people who were obviously Jewish, and then moved that line at half the speed of the one next to it."

"We were yelled at to back up and I explained we could not because there was a baby behind us. They did not care. All the blond people magically ended up in the faster moving lane. We, and others who appeared to be Jewish (mostly ultra-Orthodox) were made to remove items from our bags that are not required to be removed under TSA rules. This slowed the line down. Then everyone got yelled at for being slow.

"Literally every time I fly out of this airport lately I see some anti-Semitic sh** and with my last name, I get to be on the receiving end, too. NYC has a major problem with anti-Semitism on the rise and JFK Airport
staff dabble in it heavily. It makes me extremely angry," she said. "I don’t care about the inconvenience. I care about the casual hatred and treating people as lesser than because they wear a particular hat, or a wig, or dress a certain way, or have the last name Meyer, or Mair, or Klein, or Goldberg. This sh** is absolutely unacceptable."

Liz Mair was the Online Communications Director at the 2008 Republican National Committee and the founder and President of Mair Strategies LLC, which bills itself as the "US’ leading right-of-center online communications operative."

DemonRats One-Sided Jan 6 False Narrative Put Protestors in Jail Without Trial for Over 2 Years

For more than two years, while they controlled every lever of power in Washington, the Democratic Party and their media allies told a one-sided story about what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

For more than two years, the surveillance footage from the 2021 Capitol riot, aired this week by Tucker Carlson, was kept from the American public by a Democratic Congress so a false narrative became cemented in the public consciousness.

For more than two years, footage that could have exonerated Jan. 6 defendants was kept from their legal teams.

People are in prison because of that cover-up.

Take the footage aired by Carlson Monday night of so-called “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley being escorted around the Capitol by police officers who help him open the door and enter the empty Senate chamber.

It is hard to reconcile these calm and even cordial scenes with the nearly four-year prison sentence Chansley now is serving for “obstructing an official proceeding.”

Contrary to what apologists have been saying since Carlson began airing the footage, all this material has not previously been made available to the J6 defendants, some of whom have been jailed without trial for two years, in violation of their constitutional right to a fair and speedy trial.

MK Gottlieb: Supreme Court President Hayut is inciting and dividing the nation

 

Today (Wednesday), Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb (Likud) attacked Supreme Court President Justice Esther Hayut, accusing her of "incitement and dividing the people".

"When a person like the President of the Supreme Court goes to the State of Israel and dares to claim impending dictatorship, it will affect pilots, judges, and doctors," claimed Gottlieb on Radio Tsafon (Northern Radio) 104.5FM. "I accuse her of incitement and dividing the nation to a degree that we have not known for years. When the general population hears a person of her rank and position warning against a dictatorship, they will believe what she says."

According to her, "Even during the time of the Oslo agreements, we did not see soldiers refuse to serve, nor during the Disengagement. But where is President Hayut when she sees such frightening and disturbing incitement? Come out to the people, speak, as you spoke against us, as you created unfounded intimidation against us. Come call for unity. We, the elected officials, are not ready to accept submission or a desire or attempt to subjugate us, and I certainly will not tell any minister or Knesset member what words to use."

About her Likud colleagues who spoke out against the soldiers refusing to serve in the reserves, she said: "When I see a letter from pilots who write 'Galit Distel, who do you think you are anyway?' She is the Information Minister and give her the respect she deserves -- and give Shlomo Karhi the respect he deserves. There is something that cannot be taken away from them, both Shlomo Karhi and Distel-Atbaryan. They love our country and express their pain about the fact that people go against the government and the coalition without any basis in fact. Does that seem normal to you?"

"There is no basis for refusal, we have never seen such a phenomenon, it is despicable and should be denounced. I call on the people of Israel to unite, not to despise each other, and not to humiliate each other. We will succeed; the coalition has the power, we will legislate excellent laws", she concluded.

Jewish Italian translator Olga Padua refuses to translate for 'dangerous' Netanyahu in Rome

 

An Italian translator has refused to translate for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his speech at a Rome synagogue over the weekend, calling him "dangerous."

Translator Olga Dalia Padua was contacted by the Israeli Embassy in Rome, and wrote about her refusal on Facebook: "Not only do I not share Netanyahu's political views, but his leadership is extremely dangerous in my view when it comes to democracy in Israel. What's more: if I agree to cooperate in translating his words, my children will not forgive me."

"I tried to convince them that it was only a matter of work, and that if I refused, my gesture would change almost nothing - but they were not ready to accept any explanation. They amazed me: they usually seem to have little hope for the future of the human race during these troubled and turbulent times, and they always encourage me to take on new jobs. But in this case they were determined: they will not cooperate with those who promote fascist principles and suppress freedom, they simply will not do it. I decided to listen to them," Padua said.

Netanyahu will depart for Italy tomorrow. During his visit, he will visit the Jewish Museum of Rome and meet with the Jewish community at the city's Sephardi Synagogue. On Friday he will meet with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Chaim Topol of Fiddler on the Roof dies at 87

 

Israeli actor, singer and Israel Prize laureate Chaim Topol passed away overnight Wednesday at the age of 87.

Topol was best known for his portrayal of Tevye, the lead role in both the stage musical Fiddler on the Roof as well as the 1971 film adaptation.

He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease several years ago, and his condition deteriorated in recent days.

Omer, Topol's son, told the Mako website on Wednesday that his father was on his deathbed. "We are here at home with him, he is surrounded and loved," he said. "He is still with us in his final hours, so it seems. He is here at home, the children are here, the grandchildren are here around him. All his loved ones and lovers are around him. May he pass quickly and easily."

No funeral details have been announced yet.

Topol was born on September 9, 1935 in Tel Aviv. He began his acting career during his Israeli army service in the Nahal entertainment troupe, and later toured Israel with kibbutz theatre and satirical theatre companies. He was a co-founder of the Haifa Theatre.

His breakthrough film role came in 1964 as the title character in Sallah Shabati, by Israeli writer Ephraim Kishon, for which he won a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer—Male. Topol went on to appear in more than 30 films in Israel and the United States, winning a Golden Globe for Best Actor.

He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his 1971 film portrayal of Tevye, and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor for a 1991 Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof.

In 2015 he was awarded the Israel Prize for lifetime achievement. He also received an honorary doctorate from Haifa University and Bar Ilan University.

The Radical Leftist ADL Now Slamming Frum Jews

 

The @ADL, whose stated goal is to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people” used a photo of me (a jew) to bully anyone they disagree with. They also defamed me (a jew) by calling me an “anti LGBTQ+ extremist.” The @ADL is a complete joke. pic.twitter.com/Ah6WIDh5RX

— Chaya Raichik (@ChayaRaichik10) March 8, 2023

  The Anti-Defamation League, which is notorious for holding radical leftist views even at the expense of the Jews it claims to protect, has thrown another Jew under the bus.

The woke group has slammed Chaya Raichik, aka “Libs of Tiktok”, an Orthodox Jew who protects children, calling her an extremist and suggesting that she is a bigot. In response Raichik called the group “a complete joke.”

In an article entitled “At CPAC 2023, Anti-Transgender Hate Took Center Stage”, the featured headline image was Ms. Raichik.

The article wrote, “They [Republican politicians] were joined by conspiracy theorists like Jack Posobiec, purveyors of COVID disinformation like Dr. Robert Malone and anti-LGBTQ+ extremists like Chaya Raichik.”

Their claims were egregiously false and disingenuous, equating Raichik’s vigilance in exposing immorality in classrooms and protecting children from perverse teachers, with extremism and hate.

In addition, it is sadly ironic that the group who claims that its mission is to “stop the defamation of Jewish people”, chose to defame an orthodox Jew, while defending a cause that is unrelated to Jews, simply as a means of pandering to its woke leftist supporters.

In response Raichik tweeted: “The @ADL, whose stated goal is to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people” used a photo of me (a jew) to bully anyone they disagree with. They also defamed me (a jew) by calling me an “anti LGBTQ+ extremist.” The @ADL is a complete joke.”

Progressives in the US need to understand that the Palestinians are oppressed by Palestinians'

 

Public Diplomacy Minister Galit Distel Atbaryan

With the enormous media pressure facing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government over the proposed judicial reform, new Public Diplomacy Minister Galit Distel Atbaryan has her hands full.

The proposed overhaul of the judiciary has set off a political firestorm and prompted protests in Tel Aviv and elsewhere. 

There is intellectual degeneration and ignorance on the Left, Distel Atbaryan, who spent part of her life working in left-wing institutions, notes. The "masses" are protesting, completely convinced that democracy is dying, but they have not checked how the judiciaries work in other countries, compared to Israel, and how judges are appointed elsewhere. 

A simple 10-minute explanation of how the balance between the legislative executive and judicial has been violated in Israel for the past 30 years immediately disproves their claims, she stresses. 

Q: If that is the case, why didn't the government lay the necessary groundwork ahead of the announcement? Perhaps some of the reactions could have been prevented. 

"We thought the ground was ready as the Right had spoken of nothing but the need for a judicial reform for the past five years. The discussions did not focus on the two-state solution, nor the Palestinians, but on the reform. From the moment the elite resorted to incriminating someone who is innocent, it was a mistake to their detriment, because what was under the surface was revealed by the Netanyahu trial. 

"And if you look at social media, you will see that was the burning issue. Looking back, there is an error of perspective here, which stems from the fact that we did not take into account that there were many centrists in Israel who were unaware of the discourse. And the Left, which buys ink by the barrels, reached them before us. If I tweet, I will reach a maximum of 20,000 Israelis out of a population of 9 million. When it comes to public opinion, the Left wins. And former and current leaders of the judicial system joining the protests is actually a good thing because the truth has surfaced: that it is ultimately a war of the privileged against those who have been left behind and stepped on for years."

Q: So what part of the announced reforms is going to ultimately pass? 

"All of it. The opposition does not reflect the public, but only the privileged. Let there be no mistake: We are the ones in the right; the ones with the truly liberal values, and it's not just about bridging the gap."

Q: Another government initiative that faces strong opposition is disbanding the Kann public broadcaster. Why not propose reform – rather than shutting down – in this case as well? 

"Kann is an important resource, but there is an unfortunate element to it. Its documentaries, comedies, and other works are excellent, and I myself am a fan. In fact, I worked for the company and I know that their quality control is excellent and the employees are professional. But there is also discrimination."

Q: What do you mean? 

"Kann prides itself on diversity, but I myself have been told when working there that 'Netanyahu supporters will not have a voice here.' The last time I checked, Netanyahu supporters made up half the country. "

Q: So how will its closing help? 

"The move will bring populism, appeal to ordinary Israelis, and a free market and will open up regulations and concessions. And the people who oppose it now are good and dear people with whom I interact, but right now they are unable to listen."

Minister says protesting IDF Reservists can 'go to hell'

Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi (Likud) came out strongly against the IDF reservists who are refusing to attend training in protest of judicial reform, in a statement on Twitter Monday following public remarks on the subject from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“’And Mordecai did not kneel nor bow,’” wrote Karhi. “There are times when one must stand firm against the hegemony and the rulers... To the impudent [IDF reservist] refusers, I will tell you what Mordechai told Esther:

 ‘ salvation will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will be destroyed.’ The people of Israel will manage without you and you will go to hell.”

"ומרדכי לא יכרע ולא ישתחווה" - יש זמנים שבהם צריך לעמוד איתן כנגד ההגמוניה והשליטים בעיני עצמם.

לסרבנים המחוצפים, נאמר את מאמר מרדכי לאסתר: "רווח והצלה יעמוד ליהודים ממקום אחר ואת ובית אביך תאבדו". עם ישראל יסתדר בלעדיכם ואתם תלכו לעזאזל.

Lying DemonRats Convinced America that a Cop Was Murdered on Jan 6 ..Turns out he died of a Stroke the Next Day

 

Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick still is described as a victim of January 6, murdered by Trump supporters rioting at the Capitol, despite an autopsy report which shows he died of a stroke the following day.

The New York Times initially reported that Sicknick had been beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, before retracting the claim more than a month later.

To this day, media accounts claim Sicknick was “slain” on Jan. 6, and powerful Democrats, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi have continued to cite his death as evidence of a “deadly insurrection” at the Capitol that day.

But hitherto unseen surveillance footage from inside the Capitol, aired by Fox News host Tucker Carlson Monday night, contradicts that claim.

It shows Officer Sicknick walking through the building “after he was supposedly murdered by the mob outside.”

Sicknick appears to be healthy and walking normally in the footage.

He gesticulates to protesters to move out of the building, and bends down to move a placard behind a statue.

He also is wearing a helmet so, as Carlson points out, “it’s hard to imagine he was killed by a head injury.

Videos released demolishes claim that Jan 6 was an Insurection

 

Newly revealed surveillance footage from Jan. 6, 2021, shows two Capitol police officers escorting Jacob Chansley, the be-horned so-called “QAnon Shaman” who has come to symbolize the riot, through the halls of the Capitol and to the very door of the US Senate.

The footage aired on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show Monday night shows the officers closely following Chansley as he wanders the corridors of the Capitol, bare-chested and wearing face paint and a luxuriant fur hat with Viking horns.

“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” says Carlson, who was granted exclusive access by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to 40,000 hours of surveillance footage from that day inside and around the Capitol, which has never been seen before by the public.

“The tapes show the Capitol police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.”

Then they escort him to various entrances of the chamber which appear to be locked. Eventually they help him open a door, and he enters the chamber.

Chansley, a 33-year-old naval veteran from Arizona, has been jailed for almost four years for “obstructing an official proceeding.”

In a jailhouse interview played by Carlson he says: “The one very serious regret that I have [is] believing that when we were waved in by police officers that it was acceptable.”

In a statement the Capitol police suggest that one of the officers with Chansley was trying to “de-escalate” the situation because he was outnumbered.

But that does not explain why Chansley, who was unarmed, was able to walk past seven more officers without being apprehended.

“Not one of them even tried to slow him down,” says Carlson.

He “understood that the Capitol police were his allies. . . . If he was in the act of committing such a grave crime, why didn’t the officers standing right next to him place him under arrest?”

And yet in the narrative formed that day by the Democrats and much of the media, “Jacob Chansley became the face of January 6, a dangerous conspiracy theorist dressed in an outlandish costume who led the violent insurrection to overthrow America’s democracy,” says Carlson.

McCarthy has been criticized for releasing the footage to Carlson who plans to air five stories based on the footage over two nights which he says “demolishes” the Democratic narrative of January 6.

As well as Chansley’s story, Carlson will air footage which he says debunks the claim that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by rioters.

How US Taxpayer Funds Are Bankrolling Anti-Netanyahu Protests to Create Chaos and Take down the Government

 

The U.S. government has been funneling taxpayer money to the left-wing group bankrolling protests against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Israeli funding documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

The documents indicate that, since 2020, Foggy Bottom has sent over $38,000 to the Movement for Quality Government (MQG), the Israeli nonprofit stoking nationwide anti-Netanyahu protests that have seen protesters clash with police and target Netanyahu’s family members. MQG is seeking to takedown Netanyahu’s government over his support for major reforms to the Israeli supreme court that would significantly limit its power. The organization petitioned Israel’s Supreme Court earlier this year to oust Netanyahu, claiming he is unfit for office due to ongoing investigations into allegations of political corruption and bribery.

Chasidishe Pilot Will Fly Netanyahu to Italy

 

Zeev Tepper is a Charedi resident of the city of Elad, not far from Bnei Brak. He is also a qualified pilot, so when El Al announced on Sunday that due to "a shortage of qualified pilots" a flight crew could not be found to pilot the Prime Minister to Italy at the end of this week, he offered his services.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife are due to fly to Italy on Thursday, to meet with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Israel's version of Air Force One has yet to take to the skies due to numerous setbacks; meanwhile, the prime minister must use commercial airlines for travel, and El Al is required to issue a tender each time its services are required. This time, the deadline for applications expired on Sunday afternoon with no bids by either pilots or flight crew.

"We are working to man this flight ... in accordance with company procedures, as we have done countless times before," El Al said in a statement. "Since its establishment, El Al has flown heads of state for important national missions and will continue to do so in the future, whenever required ... The issue of manning the prime minister's flight is yet to be resolved due to a shortage of qualified pilots in our Boeing 777 squadron, among other reasons."

In conversation with Israel National News, Tepper related that he is a lawyer by profession but has been flying for the past ten years and is now willing to fly the prime minister on a purely voluntary basis. He added that he considers it a national embarrassment that a prime minister who was democratically elected faces a refusal of El Al pilots to fly him when they should realize that it was a privilege to do so.

Later on Sunday evening, El Al announced that it had finally found a crew.

Demonrats are dreading a full Jan. 6 reveal which will prove again that they are a bunch of dangerous liars

 Demonrats have been running around like decapitated chickens ever since news broke that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given Tucker Carlson unfettered access to surveillance footage from inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6. 2021 riot by Trump supporters.

The Fox News host will air five stories culled from the footage Monday and Tuesday nights, countering the overblown “insurrection” narrative the Democrats and their media toadies have been pushing since Day One.

The characterization of conservative Republicans as an “ultra-MAGA semi-fascist” menace to democracy was pushed by the partisan J6 committee and was the Democrats’ main sales pitch at the midterms last year. 

Dems don’t have much else to run within 2024, so Carlson’s fact-finding mission is an existential threat to their electoral prospects.

That’s why they are hyperbolically accusing McCarthy of endangering the security of the House and handing the tools for “the next insurrection” to Carlson who, it won’t surprise you to learn, they fantasize is a Russian sleeper agent.

Porush Receives Authority Over Meron .. Forget about safety

 

It's all over folks, after this massive tragedy in Meron, you would think that the government would hand over all safety issues at Meron to someone responsible! The government that runs all of the safety issues at the Kotel, Kever Rachel, Mearas Ha'machpeilah does a fantastic job. Meron until the tragedy was tun by the different Chareidie factions and everyone warned them that this was a tragedy waiting to happen, and unfortunately they were all on the money. 

Now with this political hack running the show ($$$$$$$$$$$$) I advise people to stay home on Lag Be'omer or instead go up to the Har Habayis or at least to the Kotel! That's if you value your life!

Jerusalem and Heritage Minister Meir Porush on Sunday withdrew his resignation from his position as the minister responsible for the Meron event, less than a week after he announced he is resigning after it became clear that his authority over the event was being challenged by officials from the Religious Services Ministry and the Center for Holy Places.

The move came after the government’s weekly Cabinet meeting, at which Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s proposal to transfer all powers for the production of the Meron event to Porush was approved.

Following the meeting, a joint statement from Porush and Netanyahu stated: “Minister Porush informed Prime Minister Netanyahu that the letter of resignation from the responsibility of the Meron event 2023 that he submitted to the prime minister last week is revoked, and in light of receiving the necessary powers, he will continue to bear responsibility for the event in the coming year.”

Porush said: “I thank the prime minister for his quick intervention and significant activities in recent days in order to bring about an immediate solution to the crisis and work toward the success of the Lag B’Omer event at Meron.

“I revoke my resignation notice, and intend to continue what I already started with the project manager Yossi Deitch – to do the maximum to improve the event for the sake of preserving the tradition for hundreds of years, subject to the safety instructions.”

Netanyahu stated: “I want to commend Minister Porush for taking on the responsibility of carrying out a safe and happy Lag B’Omer event and the implementation of the recommendations of the state commission of inquiry into the Meron disaster.

“Porush’s success is a shared mission of the entire government and I am instructing the relevant parties to cooperate and assist him.”

Defense Minister Yoav Galant extends detentions of two Jews of being involved in an incident in Huwara, despite the court ordering their release.

 

Adi Keidar

We spoke with Atty. Adi Keidar from the Honenu legal advocacy group, who is representing the detainees, tells Israel National News that the incident is passing under the radar since "the media is completely enlisted to the (anti-judicial reform) protests."

Last week, after a Palestinian Arab murdered two young Jewish brothers in the Huwara, Jews descended on the town to protest the murder. During the ensuing confrontation, several vehicles and structures were set alight, and participants on both sides were injured.

Keidar states: "We received administrative orders for two young friends, one a minor, who allegedly where involved in the Huwara incidents, and there isn't a bit of evidence that can bring them to a criminal trial, the Defense Minister, based on info which we claim is false and biased, decided to administratively detain them for four months. Punishment and detention without trial and without any ability to defend themselves. That's what's happening with this unfortunate situation.s:

Regarding the claim that the information on which the arrest was based was false, Keidar says, "We know that our clients, even if there's proof that they were at the scene, there were hundreds of people there, and they were not connected to the severe events that they are being accused of. The one that needs to answer is the Shin-Bet, which admits that it doesn't have real concrete and criminal evidence but that the things are based on things said by those who collaborate with the Shin-Bet. These can be Huwara residents or others, but it's clear that the credibility of the info is close to nonexistent. If the info was public, they could look into it and see that it's false, or they would put them on criminal trial, and we could defend them. The current situation is both unbearable and not just under the circumstances. To give the Americans a treat at the expense of the detainees."

According to Keidar, at best, the detainees could have been sent to house arrest as a mitigated punishment, but the decision to send them to detention at a detention center, despite the court's decision to release them. "Their conditions are bad, they're cut off, and so on, its a complex and unnecessary situation," says Keidar, who adds that the district court, where a discussion was held on Sunday regarding the detainees, is authorized to approve the order and is set to make a decision on it on Monday.

"We questioned the Shin-Bet's expert to get information out of him, we expressed our opinion, and we hope the court will listen and rule that the order is unjust and cancel it or shorten it," concludes Keidar.

Former Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg a Frum Jew Says that the murdered Yaniv Brothers are "nor My Brothers" His Sympathies Lie with Huwara!

 

Former Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg said that he has more sympathy for the residents of the Arab village of Huwara than for the Jewish community of Har Bracha following the murder of two Har Bracha residents in Huwara a week ago and the subsequent riot in Huwara by a group of Jews.

"It is not wise to sympathize with the people on Har Bracha - it is wise to sympathize with the victims in Huwara," Burg told 103FM Radio. He added that "Har Bracha should be evacuated. It cannot be allowed to remain."

Burg was filmed confronting police on Friday when he attempted to enter Huwara to demonstrate his solidarity with the residents of the Arab village. He has not visited the family of Hallel and Yagel Yaniv, the Jewish brothers who were murdered in Huwara last Sunday.

While he said that he feels bad for the Yaniv family, which lost two sons and brothers, he asked: "Do I have to go therein person and express my grief? The answer is no."

"They are not my brothers, I don't have genetic brothers, I have brothers in terms of ideology," he claimed.

In a video posted on social media on Friday, Burg is seen attempting to advance toward Huwara, but he is blocked by the Border Police officers who push him to the ground.

The editor of the haredi newspaper Mishpacha, Yossi Elitov, said in response to Burg's actions: "As the sage Rashi says, when our people fall, try fall as low as possible."

The Border Police stated: "The forces acted properly and with the sensitivity required to carry out their complex mission, we expect cooperation and listening to the security forces [from the public and public officials] in every mission - especially during these days."

Burg served as Speaker of the Knesset for the Labor Party from 1999-2003. In 2011, he declared himself to be 'post-Zionist, and has compared the State of Israel to Nazi Germany, most notably is his book 'Defeating Hitler.'
