These are the Extremists Trying to Destroy Ramat Beit Shemesh "Daled"
Rama D neighborhood in Beit Shemesh is one of the most beautiful and diverse neighborhoods in Israel. Both in terms of planning and in terms of landscapes and nature. The beauty of the neighborhood is also expressed in the high-quality and diverse population that lives there - Hasidic, Lithuanian, Sephardic, modern ultra-Orthodox, and the like.
But there are elements that are trying to destroy the neighborhood, while they are working to bring in extremists families.
Businessmen in the neighborhood contacted the 'Chadoshet Hair' WhatsApp group and told them about the 2 extremists who recently arrived on the scene, Yosef Shalom Altman and his friend Mr. Schlesinger,(photos above) both are ex-cons, one of whom had previously been recorded acting violently and the other had been recorded committing acts of vandalism. Since their arrest, they have gone underground, while being busy founding a fake " apartment committee" mapping out the neighborhood and locating all the apartments that are for sale or rent, in the neighborhood.
The two would scheme to call landlords two months before the lease of the present tenant expired, and recommended a new tenant that was from from the extremists, and implored the landlords that they should not rent to people from the Hasidic, Lithuanian, Sfardie , and dati leumi communities.
Most of the apartment owners realized who they were dealing with, and immediately cut off contact, but a few fell into their trap.
The same businessmen told the 'Chadoshet Hair' network about the promotion of a legitimate rent apartment project, and that they are currently trying to find a project manager who will include all the projects and establish an apartment committee that will bring only normal families to the neighborhood so that the extremists will not have a foothold in the neighborhood.
The businessmen are asking the community not to trust these two hooligans , and their supporters and not to allow them to operate the community, and publicize their actions.*
"Today there is a place for everyone in the neighborhood. Even the modern ultra-Orthodox, who have established themselves in the neighborhood with over 20 communities already, with dedicated educational institutions . Every community in the neighborhood knows how to respect each other, and that is the beauty. We cannot allow a handful of extremists to destroy the place,"
*חשיפה מקוממת: מי מנסה להרוס את שכונת היוקרה - רמה ד?*
*חדשות העיר:* שכונת רמה ד' בבית שמש היא אחת השכונות היפות והמגוונות בישראל. הן מבחינה תכנונית, והן מבחינת נופים וטבע. יופיה של השכונה מתבטא גם בציבור האיכותי והמגוון שמתגורר בה - חסידי, ליטאי, ספרדי, חרדים מודרנים וכדומה.
אלא שיש גורמים שמנסים להרוס את השכונה, תוך שהם פועלים לייבא לתוכה משפחות מהזרם הקיצוני. עסקנים בשכונה פנו למערכת *'חדשות העיר'* וסיפרו על 2 קיצונים שהגיעו לאחרונה למקום, *יוסף שלום אלטמן וחברו מר שליזנגר,* אסירים לשעבר, אחד מהם תועד בעבר פועל באלימות והשני תועד כשהוא מבצע ונדליזם והשחתה. מאז המעצר הם ירדו לצללים, ולאחרונה החליטו לייסד *"ועדת דירות"* שתבצע מיפוי בשכונה ותאתר את כל הדירות העומדות למכירה או להשכרה.
השניים מתקשרים לבעלי דירות חודשיים לפני שחוזה השכירות פוקע, ומבקשים להשיג שוכר חדש מקהילות הקיצונים, ולא להשכיר לאנשים מקהילות חסידיות, ליטאיות וספרדיות, או הקהילות המודרניות. מרבית בעלי הדירות קלטו עם מי יש להם עסק, ומיד ניתקו קשר, אבל מעטים נפלו ברשתם.
אותם עסקנים מספרים למערכת *'חדשות העיר'* על קידום מיזם נגדי, וכי הם מנסים לאתר פרויקטור בימים אלו שיתכלל את כל הפרויקט ויקים ועדת דירות שתביא לשכונה רק משפחות נורמטיביות כדי שלקיצונים לא תהיה דריסת רגל בשכונה. *העסקנים מבקשים מהתושבים להקליט את השניים האלה, ואת השליחים שלהם, כדי שיוכלו לפעול בהמשך גם בזירה המשפטית, ולסנדל את פעולותיהם.*
*"יש היום מקום לכולם בשכונה. אפילו לחרדים המודרנים, שהתבססו בשכונה עם מעל 20 קהילות כבר, עם מוסדות חינוך ייעודיים ואפילו עם מפלגה. כל קהילה בשכונה יודעת לכבד ולהכיל אחת את השנייה, וזה היופי. לא ניתן לקומץ קיצונים להרוס את המקום",* אומרים אותם עסקנים.
Canadian law endorsed by Trudeau government could imprison people for life for speech crimes
 |
| Trudeau |
A Canadian law that aims to make social media platforms safer is getting flak for what some decry as government overreach.
Introduced late last month, the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, would allow judges to imprison adults for life if they advocate for genocide.
The law would also allow a provincial judge to impose house arrest and a fine if there were reasonable grounds to believe a defendant "will commit" an offense – a provision Wall Street Journal columnist Michael Taube likened to the 2002 film, The Minority Report.
Maragaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid's Tale, has criticized the bill as "Orwellian."
"If this account of the bill is true, it’s Lettres de Cachet all over again. The possibilities for revenge false accusations + thoughtcrime stuff are sooo inviting! Trudeau’s Orwellian online harms bill," Atwood wrote on Twitter.
Writing in Public, conservative author Stephen Moore called it the "most shocking of all the totalitarian, illiberal, and anti-Enlightenment pieces of legislation that have been introduced in the Western world in decades."
Citing a government spokesperson, the bill would increase the maximum penalty specifically for advocating genocide from 5 years to life imprisonment and from 2 years to 5 years, on indictment, for the willful promotion of hatred."
Justice Minister Arif Virani, who introduced the bill, said, as a father, he was "terrified of the dangers that lurk on the internet for our children."
He argued that laws exist regulating the safety of toys his kids play with, but not the "screen that is in our children’s faces."

Schocking!!! Nurses at Gaza hospital were cheering when the Hostages Were Brought in!
Judith Raanan, a Chicago-area resident who was kidnapped together with her daughter, Natalie, by Hamas during its October 7 attack on Israel, said her captors were greeted as heroes when she and her daughter arrived at a Gaza hospital.
“The minute we came in, all the nurses were standing there and going like this [cheering]. They were all so happy that they came back with prey, with Israeli-Jewish prey,” Raanan told NewsNation in an interview on Wednesday.
Judith and Natalie Raanan were the first hostages to be freed by Hamas. They were released on October 20, after nearly two weeks in captivity.
At the hospital, Raanan said she interacted with a man she believed to be a “very high-ranked” Hamas leader who spoke “brilliant Hebrew.”
The two were kidnapped from Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7. Raanan said she and her daughter had been sleeping when they received a phone call warning them not to go outside.
“I started walking towards the room of my daughter, and that was also the moment that a rocket hit the bedroom where I was,” Raanan recalled.
Realizing an attack was underway, Raanan explained to her daughter what was happening.
“I simply said, ‘Honey, do you remember how you’ve seen the movies? Those guys that have all this military artillery and stuff that come with guns and all? That’s what’s going to come through the door, so don’t panic.'”
Raanan recalled armed terrorists bursting into the room while she and Natalie were still in their pajamas.
“My girl was afraid. She said, ‘Mom, I’m afraid to be raped.’ I said nobody’s going to do nothing to you,” Raanan said.
The terrorists held the two at gunpoint and ordered them to convince neighbors to leave the safe rooms where they were hiding, she recalled.
“He’s telling me, ‘You tell them to get out, you tell them to get out, or I’m going to bomb the whole building,'” said Raanan.
The terrorists rounded up the hostages they’d managed to capture and marched them, zip-tied and at gunpoint, through the desert to the Gaza border, Raanan continued, adding she was badly cut when one of the terrorists removed her restraint with a sharp knife.
Once in Gaza, the hostages were taken by a group of men in a car to the hospital. All the while, Raanan said she worried for her family.
On the remaining hostages, Raanan told NewsNation, “We have hostages that are going through mental, physical, emotional hardship and need to be released.”
Biden ym"s to impose a second round of sanctions on Judea & Samaria outposts... None on Hamas
The Biden administration is expected to impose new sanctions on two outposts in Judea and Samaria that were supposedly used as a base for attacks by Israelis against Palestinian Arabs, Axios reported on Thursday citing three US officials.
A US official said the sanctions against the two outposts are meant to send the message that the US is targeting not only individuals but also entities that are involved in giving logistical and financial support to "attacks against Palestinian civilians."
According to the report, the second round of US sanctions against Israelis, which is expected to be imposed as early as Thursday, will also include sanctions against three Israeli citizens. The sanctions would freeze assets the three settlers and two outposts might have in the US, ban them from getting a visa to enter the US, and block them from using the US financial system.
Last month President Joe Biden signed an executive order allowing the US to sanction Israelis accused of "settler violence." Shortly thereafter, the US State Department announced sanctions against four Israeli citizens.
The sanctions have proven detrimental to their subjects after some Israeli banks decided to freeze the accounts of those who were sanctioned.
Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah in his "Shalosh Seuda Toirelel" Says Israel Will Lose War And Destroy Itself By Fighting With Charedim
In a speech marking Ramadan, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah asserted that Israel will ultimately lose the war in Gaza, even if it enters Rafah. Directing his comments at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Nasrallah declared, “Even if you go to Rafah, you have lost the war.”
Nasrallah emphasized that Gaza’s residents will not surrender to Israel, despite the massacres, and will continue to embrace the resistance. He questioned, “Who are you negotiating with if Hamas has been defeated?”
Addressing internal Israeli debates, Nasrallah pointed to the “political crisis with the Charedim” serving in the IDF, predicting that it would lead to the collapse of the state. He also referenced Opposition Leader Yair Lapid’s remarks that the IDF lacks sufficient manpower to wage a war on the northern front.

IDF Soldiers that are from South Africa Will Arrested If They Return Home to South Africa
Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor made the comment earlier this week at a Palestinian solidarity event attended by officials from South Africa's ruling African National Congress party.
She also encouraged people to protest outside the embassies of what she called the “five primary supporters” of Israel and its military action in Gaza. She didn’t name them but almost certainly was referring to the United States, the U.K. and Germany among others.
“I have already issued a statement alerting those who are South African and are fighting alongside or in the Israeli Defense Forces: We are ready. When you come home, we are going to arrest you,” Pandor said, to rapturous applause from the audience.
In December, the foreign ministry said that the South African government was concerned that some of its citizens or permanent residents had joined the IDF to fight in Gaza and warned that they could face prosecution if they hadn't been granted permission to do so under South Africa's arms control laws.
A Time For New Thinking In The Charedi World
One thing is clear to almost everyone in Israel: The world has changed since Simchas Torah. There is no going back to the way things were.
The subhuman monsters who murdered raped, and beheaded our brothers and sisters have shaken the world. In Israel, for the most part, there is a tremendous unity of purpose and a sense of brotherhood to fight together for our national future. Unlike what was going on before October 7, when left and right, religious and secular, were at each other’s throats, there are now countless examples of Jews of all types coming together, appreciating each other, finding common ground as Jews, and hoping together for Hashem’s help. Many see in this great hope that it is part of the necessary conditions that will hopefully lead to our final redemption, speedily in our days.
However, I believe that the current scenario is very fragile. I am old enough to have lived through the Six-Day War, the Yom Kippur War and intifadas and other crises and have seen similar unifying moments (although this seems to be the most powerful yet). In all those cases the unity waned soon after the crisis abated, and unfortunately, the sinas chinom that we Jews excel at returned quite quickly.
It is already happening. The leaders of the “Kaplan Movement,” who regularly led rallies of tens of thousands paralyzing the country and did so much damage in the name of “democracy,” found themselves on October 8 without a platform on which to bloviate and feel important. Unfortunately, they found a way to be “relevant” again. They are leading a growing movement that is cynically using the pain of the families of hostages to whip up anti-Netanyahu and anti-government protests, blaming him and the government for the security failures on October 7 and demanding that Netanyahu resign immediately. (They, of course, refuse to admit their part in causing the national weakness that our enemies saw, and blame it all on others.) They have returned to the streets in Kaplan and at the homes of cabinet ministers, and soon will attempt mass rallies countrywide.
While this is, thankfully, still only a minority view, the seething hatred of many is still just under the surface, waiting to be stoked by extremists on both sides. There is enormous resentment against the leadership of the army and the government that left Israel so vulnerable on October 7. Most sane people understand that a day of reckoning must come after the war, but the anger and desire for heads to roll bubbles up more and more frequently. When this finally happens, it is hard to envision that much unity will survive.
My concern, however, is mostly with the charedi public. As I wrote repeatedly before October 7, it is plain that much, if not most, of the anger and protests that were going on were not caused by “Judicial Reform” but by the anger and fear that the secular public has of the growing power and numbers of the religious, and particularly the charedi, community. They feared that the predominantly secular liberal State of Israel is in danger of becoming far more religious and conservative, and were strengthened in those fears by slander and lies in the media and from the intelligentsia.
Israeli TV Mocking Rav Yosef threat That "He will Leave Israel and Move to Ungvar!"
Ungvar is in Ukraine! Jews who lived there before WW2 were practically all murdered by the Nazis, very few survived!
Someone tell R' Yosef, there is a war in Ungvar today!
Meir Fisher a Bachur from Beit Shemesh Killed in Car Accident on Way Back from Kever Yosef
A resident of Beit Shemesh was killed this morning in a car accident on Route 60
Several Bachrum belonging to the Shuvu Banim Chassidut had gone out last night to Kever Yosef.
On the way back, they had apparently lost control of the vehicle and three passengers were killed; several more were hospitalized. One of the three was Meir Fisher, a resident of Beit Shemesh.
Beit Shemesh has a new mayor. Too bad his campaign violated Torah law and values in order to win.
 |
| Meraglim "the Gedoilei Hador" of the "dor deah" |
On Sunday, the people of Beit Shemesh elected a new mayor, Shmuel Greenberg. He is affiliated with the ultra-Orthodox Degel HaTorah political party, and he defeated the incumbent mayor, Aliza Bloch, who is Orthodox but not part of the Chareidie world. The election wasn’t particularly close; Greenberg won 58% of the vote. It’s hardly likely that last-minute electioneering saved him from defeat. Greenberg won and was always going to win. So why did some rabbis, ostensibly in the name of Torah values, resort to slander in order to ensure his election? |
Dems turn Biden-documents hearing into 3 Stooges theater
Special Counsel Robert Hur was in the hot seat for four hours Tuesday as President Biden’s congressional allies sought to destroy him for doubting Biden’s intellect.
They had no case. And instead, they turned the event into Three Stooges-caliber theater.
Hur’s report last month concluded that Biden had “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” — violations of federal law.
But Hur said that prosecuting him would be dicey because jurors could view Biden as an “elderly man with poor memory.”
The House Judiciary Committee hearing on Hur’s report was only about “Republicans trying to re-elect the former white supremacist-in-chief,” according to Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.).
Fixating on Biden’s document shenanigans could aid Trump and cause the worldwide triumph of tyranny, wailed Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.). Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) derided Hur as a Republican bootlicker hoping to get a prize appointment if Trump is re-elected.
One Democrat after another put Hur into a headlock and jammed words into his mouth.
When Hur objected to Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) claiming his report exonerated Biden, she cut him off: “Mr. Hur, it is my time.”
Democrats, veering toward full “Manchurian Candidate,” seemed ready to recite with glazed eyes: “Joe Biden is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.”
Biden needs plenty of sycophants because of his hypocrisy, legal violations and brazen falsehoods.
After the FBI raided Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home to seize classified documents in August 2022, Biden said he was stunned that “anyone could be that irresponsible.”
After Hur’s report came out, Biden declared.
“I did not share classified information.”
Biden claimed that all the classified stuff “in my home was in filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked.”
But Hur testified that those claims were “inconsistent with our findings.”
Yesterday's Hearing in Congress Shows Partisanship has Corrupted the Department of Justice.
Most congressional hearings shed far more heat than light, but the testimony of special counsel Robert Hur was a welcome exception.
Yes, there was plenty of heat, but in the end, viewers witnessed a clear demonstration of how partisanship has corrupted the Department of Justice.
They also saw that Democrats are not troubled by that rank favoritism as long as their guy gets a free pass and the other guy gets nailed.
There are many causes for the deep polarization gripping America, but one of the most important is the contrasting ways Donald Trump and Joe Biden have been treated for their alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Trump faces a 40-count federal indictment, while Biden gets off scot-free despite a finding that he improperly kept and used such documents for 40 years.
On its face, the disparate treatment smacks of a double standard, especially because no former president had ever been indicted for anything after leaving office.
That history created a formidable barrier, but Jack Smith, the prober assigned to Trump, was bulldog-aggressive and treated him like a common criminal, complete with a surprise FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
On the other hand, Hur, assigned to Biden’s case, was far more restrained and respectful of whom he was dealing with.
“Believe the Antisemites when they say they want to Wipe out the Jewish People.”
Antisemites like Ken Roth, ‘as-a-Jews’ like Jonathan Glazer, and even non-antisemites like US President Joe Biden are lecturing Israel on the lessons Israel should learn from the Holocaust and the Second World War, but their ‘lessons’ would have prolonged the war, left Hitler in power, and led to more Jews being murdered in gas chambers.
There’s a lot that can be learned from the Holocaust and World War II as a whole. There are lessons in the bravery of some and the cowardice of others. There is so much to be learned from how Hitler was allowed to start another World War and commit a crime so great a new word had to be developed to describe it, "genocide", as well as how he was finally defeated.
People seem to love to try to apply these lessons to Jews and the Jewish State, Israel, especially in the aftermath of the Hamas massacre of October 7, the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. But the lessons they want Israel to learn would not have stopped World War II or saved a single one of the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.
On Sunday, during the Academy Awards, Writer/director Jonathan Glazer used his acceptance speech for Best International Picture to attack Israel using the supposed “lessons” of the Holocaust and even “renounced” his Jewishness.
