Governor Hochul Told Off at Memorial For Slain COP Not Everyone "chanfes" Like Satmar
Jonathan Diller in Massapequa Park, former Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y. and others called out her appearance as disrespectful and self-serving.
Images captured outside the funeral home showed Hochul being confronted by mourners, after which time she left the venue.
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, who lives in Massapequa, also reported that Hochul was denied a request to speak at a Saturday funeral for Diller, and that sources told him New York State Attorney General Letitia James had requested to pay her respects to the fallen officer.
Granddaughters of Charedi MKs Enlist in the IDF
Two granddaughters of two members of the Knesset from the United Torah Judaism party are serving in the IDF.
According to Israel Hayom, they serve while not in uniform, live in mobile homes, work in separate buildings, eat specially supervised kosher food, and work on intelligence projects in a recognized military base in the center of the country.
The report claims that the women in question are mothers to several children and from deeply Charedi communities.
Those who pioneered the project made one of the conditions that the husbands of the women in service be yeshiva students. Their husbands reportedly attended the ceremony for their wives finishing training on a fixed base while in Charedi garb.
US Backs Off Sanctions on Settlers after Smotrich Announces His Surprising Response!
Thursday Bezalel Smotrich beat the Biden administration at its own game.
On March 14, the US Treasury Dept. announced new sanctions against two Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria that the administration accused of being used as a base for attacks on innocent PA Arabs. The Treasury Dept. also sanctioned three Israeli settlers: Moshe Sharvit, Zvi Bar Yosef, and Neriya Ben Pazi.
They followed earlier sanctions against four other Jewish settlers, which Israeli banks promptly blocked from accessing their personal accounts.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced in response, “These decisions are a surrender of the Biden administration to the BDS campaign designed to blacken the entire State of Israel and lead to the elimination of the settlement enterprise and the establishment of a Palestinian terrorist state. The Israeli government is standing to the right of the settlements. These measures are completely unacceptable and we will fight to cancel them.”
In retaliation, Smotrich refused to renew his signature on a document that protects Israeli banks doing business with the Palestinian Authority from lawsuits, namely Discount and Ha’Po’alim.
Without government protection, those Israeli banks would have been forced to sever their ties with the PA banks, fearing that they become exposed to lawsuits on charges of transferring funds to entities that pay out salaries to terrorists.
And since the PA’s economy wholly depends on its relationship with Israel, this meant an immediate freeze of economic activity in the Palestinian Authority.
This week, according to Israel Hayom, the US Treasury Dept. sent an urgent letter to the finance minister, explaining that there is no reason for the banks in Israel to prevent Israeli citizens who appear on the sanctions list from making routine use of their bank accounts.
The treasury official explained that the sanctions do not include routine checking or business account operations, which are permissible and will not result in the administration punishing the Israeli banks that allow Jewish settlers to access their money.
The treasury’s letter essentially kills the entire Biden sanctions attack, because the only real harm to the Jewish victims of those sanctions was from not being able to access their bank accounts in Israel. All the other components of those sanctions, originally designed against Russian tycoons, have nothing to do with the settlers who don’t hold assets that can be frozen in America, and don’t fly there.
Back on March 14, Minister Smotrich stated that “these measures are completely unacceptable,” and vowed, “We will fight to cancel them.”
On the eve of Shabbat, Parshat Tzav, 5784, we declare that he did and they got canceled.

Gaza terrorist describes raping Israeli woman on October 7th
GRAPHIC LANGUAGE - DISTURBING
The IDF has released new interrogation footage of an Islamic Jihad terrorist who confesses to r**ing an Israeli woman in a kibbutz in southern Israel during the October 7th massacre.
A Gaza terrorist affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement confessed to raping an Israeli woman during the invasion of October 7th, telling interrogators details about the sexual assault.
On Thursday, the IDF released a five-minute video clip recorded during the questioning of Manar Mahmoud Muhammad Kasem, a 28-year-old Islamic Jihad terrorist from the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Yunis who was captured by Israeli forces.
During his interrogation, Kasem candidly describes his attacks on Israelis during October 7th, as well as the rape he perpetrated against an Israeli woman in her home.
“First thing in the morning I woke up and went to the command and control center. My friend, Mahmoud al-Khush, had told me to come,” Kasem said.
He crossed the Israel-Gaza border armed with a pistol and two grenades, while his companion carried an AK-47, Kasem said.
During an ensuing gun fight, Kasem ran towards a nearby kibbutz.
“We walked and I got off before the jeep and then we walked a bit, and the person who was with me was hit in the head,” Kasem recalled.
“Out of fear, I entered the kibbutz and went in the nearest house.”
Initially, Kasem said, he did not see anyone in the house.
“But then I entered a room and there was someone there, she was frightened.”
“She was afraid of me, but asked me to help her. I took her and threw her onto a couch.”
When asked to describe her, he said the woman had “hair that wasn’t extremely long – like normal – and she was thin.”
“She was wearing a blue skirt and white shirt.”
“The devil took control of me,” Kasem continued, describing the rape. “I laid her down and started to undress her. Then I did what I did. I slept with her.”
When pressed to fully elaborate, Kasem admitted: “I raped her.”
“She pushed me. It didn’t last long; I heard shouting outside. It was two minutes, maybe a minute and a half.”
Moments later, two more terrorists burst into the home, and another woman, possibly the rape victim’s mother, was heard screaming.
“After we heard the screams, she and I both started to get dressed, and then these two men entered. They had uniforms of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.”
“They pulled in the girl’s mother and sat the two next to each other. The girl and the mother started comforting each other, from what I understood.”
“Then suddenly they took the girl and the woman…I stayed in the room and they left through the gate they had entered from.”
Afterwards, Kasem said he opened fire on several Israeli men, wounding one of them.
“I heard gunshots near me, in the houses behind me. I drew my pistol and I shot one [man], he fell on the floor. Another hid, and I threw a grenade and fled the kibbutz.”

Crown Heights Rabbis call for prayers against secular studies
Crown Heights Rabbis have called for a day of prayer ahead of a court decision in a case against haredi educational institutions in the region that refused to teach secular studies required by the state.
The case is part of a longer legal battle that has already taken several years. As part of the process, the New York Department of Education has published instructions for haredi institutions to begin changing their curriculum.
The appeal was filed by young haredi men who have become agnostic and claimed that they were robbed of the ability to make a living due to the insufficient education they received at these institutions.
“We call for, beg, and request that anyone interested in the good of our community, and all parents of students in our holy institutions, take the time to pray fervently to god, “ to assemble and protect themselves” (Esther 8:11),’” the Rabbis wrote.
“We are in great distress,” they added, citing the Jewish prayer for days of fasting. “We must appeal for the future of our descendants, which hangs in the balance, by saying chapters of Psalms and increasing Torah study, prayer, and charity, that our righteousness be brought to light and that decrees against us and the education of our descendants be canceled.”
Sick!!! Photograph of Israeli woman's corpse paraded by terrorists wins prestigious photojournalism award
The photograph that won first place in the prestigious POY photojournalism competition's Team Picture Story of the Year category is a photograph of Hamas terrorists in the back of a truck posing over the half-naked corpse of German-Israeli citizen Shani Louk.
20 photographs from the Associated Press (AP) depicting the war that began when Hamas massacred 1,200 people on October 7 received the award. The first of these photographs was taken by Associated Press (AP) photographer Ali Mahmud, who accompanied the terrorists who committed the massacre on October 7, stood by calmy, documented their atrocities unemotionally as they were committed, and captured the terrorists celebrating over Louk's corpse on his camera.
The picture was submitted with the caption: “Palestinian militants drive back to the Gaza Strip with the body of Shani Louk, a German-Israeli dual citizen, during their cross-border attack on Israel, Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023.” In Israel that "attack", during which over 1000 civilians of all ages were brutally raped, beheaded, burned to death and shot cold, is called a massacre. The "militants" are part of a "terrorist army."
The annual award is bestowed by the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri's School of Journalism. The prize committee stated, "The militant Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip carried out an unprecedented, multi-front attack on Israel at daybreak Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, firing thousands of rockets as dozens of Hamas fighters infiltrated the heavily fortified border in several locations by air, land, and sea and catching the country off-guard on a major holiday."
"Israel's retaliation after Gaza's militant Hamas rulers launched the unprecedented attack on Israel killing over 1,200 Israelis and taking captive dozens, has been fierce for Gaza and its people. Heavy Israeli airstrikes on the enclave have killed thousands of Palestinians."
The decision to give the award to a photographer who accompanied the terrorists as they committed the worst massacre against the Jewish people since the Holocaust was widely condemned.
Israeli Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism Michal Cotler-Wunsh wrote on X, "AP won the 'Picture of the Year' award of RJI for the photo of a Palestinian photographer who entered Israel on October 7 together with a mob of murderers and Hamas kidnappers, in order to photograph war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the shocking photo of Shani Louk on the Toyota.
"This is what the normalization of antisemitic hatred looks like. Never again is now," she added.
The Honest Reporting organization stated, "Congratulations to @AP for winning a Pictures of the Year award. How does it feel to do so on the back of Palestinian photojournalists who infiltrated Israel on Oct. 7 and took photos like the one below of Shani Louk's dead body in a Hamas pickup?"
Nissim Louk, Shani's father, told Ynet, "It's good that the photo won the prize, this is one of the most important photos in the last 50 years. These are some of the photos that shape human memory, the Jew raising his hands, the paratroopers at the Western Wall, photos that symbolize an era. This documentation of Shani, and of Noa Argamani on the motorcycle, they symbolize this era. I think it's a good thing to use it to inform the future. If I start crying, what will come of it? This is history. In 100 years they will look and know what happened here. I travel the world and everyone knows who Shani is."
He contrasted the beauty and light of his daughter with the darkness and extremism of her murderers, noting that he asked representatives at the UN whether they were on the side of light or the side of darkness epitomized by Shani's killers.
Israel Raises Terror Threat Level for Israelis Traveling for Pesach
Israel’s government has warned its citizens to be cautious while traveling over Pesach, and is warning travelers to avoid certain destination spots altogether.
The National Security Council (NSC) released a risk-assessment message Thursday, saying that Israelis should avoid Turkey, Morocco, Jordan and Egypt — including the Sinai peninsula, a popular holiday destination over Pesach.
In a general warning for global travel, the NSC said the “potential for terrorist threats against Israelis and Jews more than five months after the start of the war is very high.”
One counter-terrorist official advised Israelis traveling abroad not to reveal their identities during their trips.
“You can speak Hebrew with each other, but you don’t have to laugh at the other family or your friends at the other end of the street,” he said in a press briefing.
He also advised Israelis traveling to Malmo, Sweden, not to reveal their Israeli identity. “This is an event that should be handled with discretion. The site of the competition will be under very heavy security, but the surrounding area could be problematic. Malmo is a city with many hostile areas. We are not saying not to travel there, but those who travel should not walk around with Israeli signs.”
According to the written threat assessment, there are increased attempts amid the Gaza war by jihadist organizations to inspire lone attackers to target Jews and Israelis abroad.
Israeli Supreme Court Orders Stop to Yeshivah Funding for Haredim Required to Enlist in Idf
Israel’s Supreme Court on Thursday issued an interim order prohibiting the government from providing stipends to some haredi, or ultra-Orthodox, Jewish men who do not serve in the Israel Defense Forces.
Yeshivah students who did not obtain a military service deferral and who have failed to report for IDF service since July 1, 2023, will now be ineligible for the monthly financial stipends, according to the ruling.
The Supreme Court, sitting as the High Court of Justice, also decided that an extended panel of nine justices will hear petitions demanding a universal military draft starting in May.
Earlier on Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote to the court asking for another extension—this time for 30 days—so he could reach a political agreement regulating the haredi IDF draft.
“The government’s intention to settle this complex issue, which has not been resolved for decades, is clear from the fact that the government committed in June of last year to resolve the issue within nine months,” wrote the premier in a letter to the court.
However, Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attacks “obliged us to devote our time and attention mainly to the conduct of the war in the six months that have passed since,” Netanyahu wrote.
He said that while “considerable progress” has been made towards reaching an agreement within the coalition government, the “work is not yet complete.”

Wow!! Half Of US Muslims Support Hamas, Nearly A Third “Not Sure” If Burning Jews Alive Is Wrong
A recent Pew survey reveals that 49% of Muslims in America believe Hamas has “valid” reasons for attacking Israel, while 54% reject Israel’s right to defend itself. Only 45% of Muslims condemned the October 7 massacres, with 21% admitting they supported the attacks and 31% unsure if burning Jewish families alive was wrong.
These findings contrast sharply with the views of the general American public, where an overwhelming majority opposes Hamas and supports Israel’s right to defend itself. The survey also showed that 67% of Muslims in America have an unfavorable view of the “Israeli people,” while 37% admit to a favorable view of Hamas.
The results have sparked concern about the growing support for terrorism among Muslims in America, with many questioning the long-held narrative that Islam has no connection to terrorism. As Muslims and leftists riot in support of Hamas, and public figures praise the terrorist organization, it raises questions about the true extent of support for terrorism in the Muslim community.
The findings have been met with denial and accusations of “Islamophobia” from some quarters, including the Biden administration. However, the survey suggests a troubling reality that cannot be ignored.
Weingarten Brothers from the Lev Tahor (AMI) Cult Convicted Of Kidnapping
Three members of the infamous Lev Tahor cult – Yoel Weingarten, Yakov Weingarten, and Shmiel Weingarten – have been found guilty of kidnapping a 12-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl, and then spiriting the girl outside the United States to continue an illegal and forced marriage with her adult “husband.”
The kidnapping occurred on a Shabbos in December 2018, when Lev Tahor cultists kidnapped two children from the Teller family, who had escaped the clutches of the cult and traveled to the United States just a month earlier, and were spending Shabbos in Woodridge, NY. Their mother, Mrs. Sara Feiga Teller, is a sister of current (now jailed) Lev Tahor leader, Nachman Helbrans. She is married to Aron Aryeh Teller, rosh yeshivah of Lev Tahor.
Yaakov and Shmiel Weingarten were extradited to the United States in 2022 to face charges over the kidnapping.
“The defendants’ conduct — which included forced child marriages, physical beatings, and family separations — is unthinkable and has caused irreparable harm to children in their formative years,” said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, who prosecuted the case. “Whether in the name of religion or any other belief system, subjecting children to physical, sexual, or emotional abuse will never be tolerated by this Office.
With Wednesday’s verdict, all nine Lev Tahor leaders and operatives charged for these heinous crimes have been held to account, and will spend decades in prison for their evil acts. The three Weingartens join the monsters who ran the lev Tahor cult, Nachman Helbrans and Mayer Rosner, who were sentenced in 2022 to twelve years in prison.
Lev Tahor was founded and led by Shlomo Helbrans, from the 1980s until his drowning death in Mexico in 2017. Since then, the leadership has moved into the hands of his son Nachman Helbrans, along with Mayer Rosner, and Yankel and Yoel Weingarten – who are even more radical and aggressive than the late founder, they are all on prison.
Yitzchok Frankfurter of Ami Magazine claimed the exact opposite – and ran the following sentence below their headline,
“The unjust persecution of a group of pious Jews, and the unsettling silence of the Jewish community.”

Former U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, who nearly won the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and who almost became Republican John McCain’s running mate eight years later, has died, according to a statement issued by his family.
Lieberman died in New York City on Wednesday due to complications from a fall, the statement said. He was 82.
The Democrat-turned-independent was never shy about veering from the party line.
Ezra Friedlander Under FBI Scrutiny didn't officially disclose his ties with Azerbaijan in meetings with top Adams aides

| Ezra Poses With the Antisemite from Turkey |
A longtime political consultant attended a City Hall meeting last year with Azerbaijan’s deputy foreign minister and top officials in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration — but did not report it in federal filings.
Ezra Friedlander, who has worked as an agent for both Azerbaijan and Turkey, previewed the meeting on May 21, 2023, with a video posted on the X platform.
In the short clip, Adams’ international affairs commissioner, Edward Mermelstein, and mayoral staffer Rana Abbasova can be seen walking by City Hall with Friedlander and Elnur Mammadov, the deputy foreign minister for Azerbaijan, a country closely allied with Turkey.
“With Deputy Foreign Minister of @AzerbaijanMFA @ElnurIMammadov walking to a meeting at City Hall hosted by NYC Commissioner of International Affairs Edward Mermelstein and Senior Advisor to @NYCMayor @joeleisdorfer!” Friedlander tweeted at the time, including a mention of Abbasova.
The meeting, which hasn’t been previously reported, comes as Adams’ ties to Turkey have come under scrutiny.

Kamala Harris is Hamas’ useful idiot
As the Biden Presidency continues to sink at a rapid pace, with nearly two thirds of Americans now believing the country is on the wrong track, Kamala Harris is unwittingly doing her best to speed its demise.
Her latest television interview, with ABC News, can only be described as a train wreck that cements her reputation as a calamitous vice president. The interview followed her recent gaffe-ridden visit to Puerto Rico, where Harris cluelessly applauded anti-American protesters singing a song in Spanish accusing her administration of war crimes.
