New York court overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction

 

The disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on sex crimes was overturned by a New York appeals court on Thursday.

The state of New York court of appeals ruled that the judge who oversaw Weinstein’s 2020 conviction was mistaken in allowing other women whose accusations were not a part of the 2020 case to testify.

The original 2020 judgment was overturned by a single vote, the New York Times reported.

Prosecutors in the firestorm case that kicked off the #MeToo movement must determine whether they will retry Weinstein, who was sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2020 for two sex crimes: forcing oral sex on a production assistant in 2006 as well as rape in the third degree of an actor in 2013.

He will remain imprisoned because he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of another rape and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Weinstein was acquitted in Los Angeles on charges involving one of the women who testified in New York.

The state court of appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures – an era that began in 2017 with a flood of allegations against Weinstein. The court ordered a new trial. His accusers could again be forced to relive their traumas on the witness stand.

Survivors of Weinstein shared their disappointment and outrage at the latest ruling. The actress Ashley Judd, one of the first people to publicly share allegations against Weinstein, told the New York Times: “That’s really hard for the survivors … We still live in our truth. And we know what happened.”

Ezra Friedlander's Best Friend.. Qatar ...Says "No to Negotiations With Israel They Are Slayers of Prophets! "

Ezra "tuchis lekking"  his Client a Qatar official 

 There can be no negotiations with Israel as the Jewish people are “slayers of prophets,” a top Qatari official told representatives at a recent Arab League summit, according to a translation of the speech the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) published on Wednesday.

Essa bin Ahmad al-Nassr, who serves on Doha’s Shura Council legislature and holds the rank of brigadier-general in the Qatari Armed Forces’ elite Emiri Guard protection unit, threatened the annihilation of the Jewish state.

Qatar, which hosts Hamas leaders and has provided the terrorist organization with hundreds of millions of dollars, played a role last year in mediating the release of 105 hostages from Gaza in exchange for 240 Palestinian terrorists.

It has previously deflected accusations of playing a double game, saying the United States requested that it open that mediation channel.

The undated footage of al-Nassr’s speech was first shared to X by Al Jazeera correspondent in Yemen Ahmed Alshalfi on April 22.

In his remarks to the Arab League, al-Nassr said that “there can be no peace or negotiations with the Zionist entity [Israel] for one reason and one reason only: Their faith does not allow for negotiations.

“Rather, it [condones] deception, the violation of agreements and lies,” the Qatari official continued, claiming that the Jewish faith “only accept[s] one thing—killing. They are the slayers of prophets.”

Only the State of Israel Cares about other Jews ..Israeli-backed security response teams for diaspora Jews

 

To all those stupid "frum" Jews that are still anti-Zionist, "GROW UP"!

It was Israel that took the initiative to rescue Jews taken hostage in Entebbe! It was Israel that took out the Ethiopians from Ethiopia, even those who "taanied" that they weren't "halachically Jewish" they claimed they were Jewish and that was enough for the Jewish State to rescue them. Just recently Israel flew Ukrainians to Israel, yes, some were goyim (most of them left) but they were the only country in the entire world that opened their borders to the refugees. 

There are NO Jewish refugees in the entire world all because of the State of Israel. 

We have, thank G-d, a country whose borders are open for ALL Jews. It is mind-boggling that the Yeshivishe world still cannot swallow the tremendous chesed that the Zionists do and give them the proper Hakoras Ha'Toiv. 

They keep bringing up the "Yaldeei Teiman" that the Zionists "cut their peyos off and made them not frum!" 100 years ago. It wasn't too long ago that  Satmar also cut the peyos off Chabad Chassidim ! 

I have news for you, the Yemenite Jews here in Israel are writing that most of those families are coming back to Yiddishkeit, but unfortunately, the thousands that go OTD from the Chassidishe and Yeshivishe world are lost forever! The assimilation rate in Chutz Le'aaretz is over 85%, yet in the Zionist State it's a little less than 3%, and most Jews now live in Israel. Chareidie communities in the State are thriving and growing like never before.

 

The Chutz Le'arretz Jews, especially the Chareidie World are NOT really that concerned about the antisemitism all over the world. You know why? Because in back of their "farshtuppefteh kep" they know that there is always the State of Israel to run to, if they have to, something that the 6, million Jews couldn't avail themselves them to. All countries in the entire world had quotas! The British, may they burn in eternal hell, only allowed 100,000 Jews into Palestine and those caught sneaking in were turned back to head back to the hell of Nazi Germany! 

When they come rounding up Jews in Chutz Le'aaretz. If your wife doesn't shave her head bald like a plucked chicken, you won't be allowed into New Square or KJ! 

מי כעמך מדינת ישראל

Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir (Otzma Yehudit) has asked the Police Commissioner to draft a plan to assist in the creation of emergency security response squads to protect Jewish institutions outside of Israel.

"Diaspora Jews are currently suffering from a harsh wave of antisemitism in communities and on campuses in the US, Europe, and around the world," Ben-Gvir wrote.

"I asked the Police Commissioner to draft a plan to aid in the creation of local response teams that will protect Jewish communities and institutions overseas, through professional tutelage, including a training program and technological solutions for security," he added.

The minister explained that "everything, of course, would be in cooperation with the local police and relevant authorities.

"Our Jewish, national, and moral obligation is to help them!" he concluded.

The Inside Story of How Palestinians Took Over the World

 

The brilliant Palestinian plan to capture the pliable minds of American college students was laid out in front of me 25 years ago, during a very sinister business meeting in Israel. 

It was around the time of the Oslo Accords. I had been hired by the Ford Foundation to create a marketing institute for their grantees in the country. Ford was funding the operations of both Jewish and Arab organizations within the Israeli Green Line, in an effort to help build a vibrant liberal civil society. 

Ford put me in partnership with a young Israeli woman, Debra London. (Debra, now one of my closest friends, has just been selected to head up fundraising for the rebuilding of Kibbutz Be’eri.) She and I drew up a plan to interview each of the grantees, as well as Israeli ad agencies and media firms. While we wanted to learn about the grantees, we also planned to secure free marketing work and media to be an essential part of the institute.

Google fires 20 more workers after staff staged anti-Israel protests as CEO says workplace isn't for politics

Google has fired at least 20 more of its employees for protesting the technology its giving to Israel as the war in Gaza rages on.

This comes after Google fired approximately 30 employees last week after they were arrested for staging sits-ins at the company's offices in Sunnyvale, California and New York City, bringing the total number terminated to around 50.

Google said it fired the additional employees because after an internal investigation, the company identified other staffers who used masks and didn't carry their badges to hide their identities. 

No Tech For Apartheid, an organization critical of Google and Amazon's contract with Israel that the fired employees are thought to be associated with, released a statement following the latest terminations.

'Google's aims are clear: the corporation is attempting to quash dissent, silence its workers, and reassert its power over them,' organization spokesperson Jane Chung said in a press release. 'In its attempts to do so, Google has decided to unceremoniously, and without due process, upend the livelihoods of over 50 of its own workers.'

Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai also alluded to last week's protest in an April 18 blog post, burying his response underneath some run-of-the-mill company announcements.

'We also need to be more focused in how we work, collaborate, discuss and even disagree,' Pichai wrote. 'This is a business, and not a place to act in a way that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe, to attempt to use the company as a personal platform, or to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics.'

The pro-Palestinian employees - some of whom were seen wearing traditional Arab headscarves - were protesting 'Project Nimbus,' a $1.2 billion contract wherein Google and Amazon jointly agreed to provide the Israeli government with cloud computing and artificial intelligence services. 

The companies signed off on this massive contract in 2021, which predates the October 7 attack from Hamas and the months-long war in Gaza that continues. 

Protestors last week occupied Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian's office in Sunnyvale, livestreaming themselves on Twitch until they were taken into custody by police.

Google, in addition to letting their employees go, condemned the protests wholly and completely.

In Google vice president of global security Chris Rackow's companywide memo announcing the termination of some 28 employees, he called the protestors' behavior 'unacceptable.'

'They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers,' the memo reportedly read.

'Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive and made co-workers feel threatened.

'Behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it.

'It clearly violates multiple policies that all employees must adhere to – including our code of conduct and policy on harassment, discrimination, retaliation, standards of conduct, and workplace concerns.'

Ha Ha! Schumer's Hamas Friends Disrupt His Seder! At the end of the day he is still a Jew and they Hate his guts

 

This is too funny for words! The miserable traitor thought that by bashing Israel and pandering Hamas supporters they would love him! Big surprise!! 

Anti-Israel agitators staged a "sedar on the street" protest in front of the Brooklyn home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in protest of American support for Israel.

The protests came after the Senate passed a $95 billion emergency foreign aid package to Israel, Gaza and Ukraine.

Organized by pro-Palestinian groups, the protest was described as a "seder on the street" for the second night of the week-long Jewish Passover.

Photos from the protest showed large groups of demonstrators gathering in front of Schumer's Brooklyn, New York home.

The protesters urged Schumer to support an end to the U.S. providing weapons to Israel for its ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Following speeches from pro-Palestinian leaders, several people were arrested by New York Police Department (NYPD) officers.

The NYPD did not immediately respond to Fox News' request on how many protesters were arrested.

Senior Hezbollah terrorist killed in fiery Israeli airstrike caught on video: IDF

 A top Hezbollah terrorist was killed in an airstrike in southern Lebanon early Tuesday, according to the Israel Defense Forces as it shared stunning footage of the attack.

The video of the assault opens with an aerial view of a car driving through the city of Aadloun, with Hezbollah operative and “key terrorist” Hussein Azqul confirmed to be inside, the IDF said.

As soon as the Israeli aircraft locks onto Azqul’s car, a missile is fired, hitting the vehicle dead center, with flames erupting from the explosion.

The blast causes the car to lose control and careen off the road before coming to a stop as it continues to burn.

A second explosion is seen further up the road, suggesting a second missile was fired but missed after the car lost control.

The attack took place on an empty roadway in the Lebanese coastal city.

Azqul was identified as “a key terrorist” in Hezbollah’s air defense system who the IDF alleged took part in the planning and execution of the group’s terror activities.

The Israeli military said Azqul’s death served as a “significant blow” to Hezbollah’s air defense unit as the IDF and the terrorist group continue to exchange fire over the northern border.

Along with Azqul, the IDF said it also killed another Hezbollah member in a separate airstrike in southern Lebanon overnight.

Muhammad Attiya, a member of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit, was also identified as an operative involved with the attacks against Israel, the IDF said.

The two senior Hezbollah members are the latest in a series of precise airstrikes that have taken out high-ranking terrorists traveling on the road in Lebanon.

Last week, Hezbollah field commander Ismail Yusaf Baz was killed after an Israeli airstrike hit is car while traveling near Tyre, just miles from where Azqul was hit.

Hezbollah has confirmed both Attiya and Azqul’s deaths, bringing the terror group’s death toll up to 287 since the start of the war in Gaza, the Times of Israel reports.

"Alteh Katchkeh" Nancy Pelosi joins Schumer in slamming Netanyahu, calls for Israel PM to resign

 

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called this week for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down over the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, blasting him as an “obstacle” to peace and further illustrating the growing rift between Democrats and the Jewish state’s head of government.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) panned Netanyahu in an interview with Irish outlet RTÉ Monday for the security failures that led to the surprise assault that killed an estimated 1,200 people — including 33 Americans.

“His intelligence person resigned, he should resign,” Pelosi told the broadcaster’s “Six One” news program during a visit to the Emerald Isle.

Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, Israel’s head of military intelligence, resigned Monday, saying his department “did not live up to the task we were entrusted with” and “I will carry the horrible pain of the war with me forever.”

Pelosi, 84, didn’t hesitate when asked if she believes Netanyahu has been an “obstacle” to peace in the Middle East.

“Oh, he has been for years. I don’t know whether he’s afraid of peace, incapable of peace, or just doesn’t want peace. But he has been an obstacle to the two-state solution,” the Californian said. “He’s been a problem.”

Pelosi’s jab at Netanyahu echoes a March 14 speech from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the highest-ranked elected Jewish official in the US, in which the Brooklyn Democrat said the Netanyahu government “no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7.”

At the time, Pelosi hailed Schumer’s incendiary remarks as “an act of courage, an act of love for Israel.”

230 protesters arrested at Columbia, NYU anti-Israel demonstrations let go, will not have a criminal record

 

Most of the nearly 230 people busted during anti-Israel protests at Columbia and New York universities in the past week were let go with slaps on the wrist – despite reports that their actions are making others feel unsafe on campus.

One-hundred sixteen people arrested at NYU Monday night were hit with summonses for trespassing, while the remaining four got desk appearance tickets for obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest – neither of which result in a criminal record.

Less than one week earlier, 108 individuals – including Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi – were arrested at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia and let off with summonses for trespassing.

Die-hard activists on both campuses were undeterred by the police intervention.

“What if I want to set up a tent?” one NYU graduate student scoffed to The Post during a walkout in Washington Square Park.

“NYU called the cops on their own students. Just like Columbia and Yale,” she added.

Another protester was overheard bragging about being at the Monday night demonstration for hours – and brandished a freshly-dented purple Stanley cup as proof.

“Bro, look at my cup. I was banging that cup so hard on the barricade for Palestine,” they gushed.

One protester toted a bag of pastries from the upscale Lafayette bakery and insisted they would demand a refund if NYU followed Columbia’s lead and moved to hybrid classes.

“I saw children being treated very poorly by the police,” said Gabriella, an NYU student and refugee. 

“They were only chanting and singing,” she added. “I wish there was more I could do.”

But the demonstrations also left Jewish students feeling increasingly unsafe.

Jewish NYU student Natalie Manocherian, 21, told The Post that she is considering leaving NYU after enduring antisemitic harassment.

“I was called a dirty Jew yesterday,” Manocherian said. “I don’t feel comfortable as a Jew right now. I go to my class and I go straight home.”

“I know people in my family who died in the Intifada, you know, like, that’s not something that should be taken lightly. And these people really have no idea,” she added.

“I think I had a false sense of security as a Jew growing up in New York my whole life and I’ve actually realized that a lot,” the Upper West Side native added.

At Columbia, the tent encampment was still going strong after nearly a full week in the rain, wind, and cold. Access to thee campus remained restricted to university ID holders.

Jewish students at the Ivy League school reported increased feelings of unrest in the face of alleged taunts and threats of physical violence.

On Monday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark) denounced the encampments as “nascent pogroms,” and called on President Joe Biden to send the National Guard to break up the groups

Stanley Cohen Ex-Frum Lawyer Gets 12 Columbia Hamas Students That Were Suspended Back Into School.. His Message to Jews "F__k Them!

 Twelve Columbia University students who were suspended over an anti-Israel event on campus last month had their punishments lifted shortly after, their lawyer claimed — as the school continues to weather backlash over its handling of protesters on and near the Morningside Heights campus.

About 16 students were initially suspended for failing to provide information about “a host of student activities,” including an “unauthorized” teach-in on the history of Palestinian resistance on March 24, Stanley Cohen told the Village Sun.

The university suspected that the March 24 teach-in titled “Resistance 101” spotlighted a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is a US-designated terrorist organization, the Spectator reported.

Cohen claimed he got 12 of the suspensions thrown out — though the Columbia Daily Spectator previously reported that only six students were suspended, two of whom were quickly reinstated.

“I spoke to 16 students who were suspended — the grand total was initially 16 — unless I was hallucinating about it and spent 40 hours talking to ghosts,” scoffed Cohen, who said he was working on the case pro bono.

Columbia did not immediately return The Post’s request for clarification about the incident.

Pesach miracle in Yerushlayim!

 

All those hit by the car in the video only had scratches! They have all been released from the hospital! 

Video shows the moment Israel police and security forces arrested the two Arab teenagers who carried out a terror attack in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Jerusalem this morning.

Thankfully, due to a makeshift gun jam the attack only lightly wounded three Israeli civilians, preventing a possibly fatal shooting. 

In the beginning of the video the crowd screams "Yemach Shemo" but they didn't realize that the guy was an undercover cop!

Pesach Samaich !

DemonRats using an 81-year-old Alter Kocker to defraud the electorate

 

There was a macabre familiarity to the sight last week of a dead man in Brazil being wheeled into a bank by a greedy relative to sign a loan document.

The woman is seen on social-media video talking to the corpse in the wheelchair while trying to hold up his floppy head with one hand.

In her other hand she clutches a pen lodged between the dead man’s fingers as she attempts to sign documents to secure a loan of $3,250.

“Uncle Paulo, are you listening?” the woman, named by CNN Brazil as Érika de Souza Vieira Nunes, tells the late Paulo Braga, 68. “Sign so you don’t give me any more headaches. I can’t take it anymore.”

Uncle Paolo does not respond. His eyes are closed. His mouth is agape.

“He doesn’t look well,” the bank teller says, in the understatement of the year. “He’s very pale.”

Rio De Janeiro police who arrested Nunes said Uncle Paulo, who was actually her cousin, had been dead for at least two hours. They charged her with fraud and abuse of a corpse.

Isn’t it a pity we can’t charge the Democratic Party with the same offenses? After all, the barbaric treatment of Uncle Paolo in Brazil is a metaphor for how Democrats are using an infirm 81-year-old Joe Biden to defraud the electorate.

Those of us not in on the scam are the bank teller saying: “He doesn’t look well. Are you sure he’s OK?”
It’s as if the whole country is strapped in with the corpse in that wheelchair as it hurtles toward a cliff edge.

Most Americans agree that the “Weekend at Bernie’s” presidency has not turned out well.

Outraged Papua New Guinea academics lash out at Biden’s ‘unacceptable’ suggestion that cannibals ate his WW2 pilot uncle'They wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky'

 

Outraged Papua New Guinea academics have slammed President Joe Biden for his ‘unacceptable’ suggestion that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in the country after his plane was shot down during World War II.'They wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky"

Biden implied on two occasions Wednesday that his maternal uncle 2nd Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan had met a grisly end at the hands of cannibals after his plane was shot down by the enemy over New Guinea in 1944.

But the White House and official defense records confirmed that Finnegan died when the military plane he was in experienced engine failure and crashed into the Pacific Ocean, not over land.

14 War Widows Perform ‘Halachically Necessary But Unpleasant’ Chalitza Ceremony

 

14 widows who lost their husbands during the Swords of Steel war have recently undergone the Chalitza ceremony which enables them to remarry, according to figures released by the Beis Din.

In a special session last week during the vacation period, Rabbi David Lau together with Rabbi Michael Amos and Rabbi Eliezer Igra performed the ceremony for one of the widows, who are considered chained and unable to marry until they are released by the brother of their deceased husband.

M, one of the women, told the Yisrael Hayom newspaper that “in the end the procedure was fine. The Rabbis were very sensitive and Rabbi Lau led the ceremony as gently and as genially as possible in the circumstances.”

T, who also lost her husband in the war, said that “It was hard to hear the details, many of which were new to me, especially that I was an Agunah (chained) and after the ceremony will be considered like a divorced woman who cannot marry a Kohen.”

T said that she had gone to a rabbi who accompanies her family to sit with him and understand better the procedure. She said that it could be “uncomfortable and painful” and discussed the matter with her brother-in-law before undergoing the procedure.

T said that “This is not a pleasant procedure but one which is halachically necessary. Just as one marries via the rabbinate, this is also via the rabbinate. I still believe that there should be changes internally, with rabbinic approval, to streamline the procedure.”

T added that widows should go to a rabbi they know to understand both the technical and spiritual aspects of the process.

Another widow said that she had not known that such ceremonies still existed and thought that they were only in the period of the Temple.

“I married the man I loved so much. I lost him in battle and now have to deal with the complex, painful and embarrassing situation. On the other hand, his family are warm and friendly and I believe we’ll get through it despite the great stress which I have been under since.”

 

For Shame! Jewish-Run Non-Profit Funds Pro-Hamas Protests Run by Howard Horowitz!

 

Over 50 Pro-Palestinian groups are involved in the anti-Israel demonstrations on university campuses throughout the US. 

At a recent congressional hearing regarding Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, Polish news outlet Visegrad24, via V24 Investigations, provided the Congressmen at the hearing with material after having sent in undercover journalists revealing how professors and faculty are radicalizing students by spreading anti-American and anti-Western propaganda.

The protesters are part of a larger network of organizations, such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Within Our Lifetime (WOL) led by Nardeen Kiswani.

Kiswani leads the group which recently blocked airports and bridges in the New York area.

In the above video, Libs of Tiktok explains the mechanism that makes funding of these organizations. It turns out that there are plenty of rich individuals who are willing to finance these obstructive protests which make life difficult for millions of Americans, with the main funneling apparatus coming via a New York based Jewish-owned non-profit.
