Hashgachos In Israel Now Certify if the Shabbos Goy is a Genuine Goy
So the Goy of Badatz is 100% a genuine Goy. A Ben achar ben achar ben, a Goy!
The Goyim of the other Hashgachas are questionable Goyim. The Goy of the Rabbinate could even have a name like Rabinovitz! The guy in the video wants to know if the Badatz Goy would eat from the Hashgacha of Machpud!
Ellen Greenberg 27 Was Stabbed 20 times Yet the Med Examiner Ruled it a Suicide??
This graphic shows knife wounds Ellen suffered to her neck and chest, that pierced her brain and severed her spinal cord |
The Door That Sam said he broke down, Latch looks almost Intact |
Parents of a young teacher found with 20 stab wounds have won the right to challenge the ruling of her death as a suicide.
Ellen Greenberg, 27, was found dead on the kitchen floor of her apartment in Philadelphia in the middle of a blizzard on January 26, 2011.
She had 10 stab wounds to her neck and the back of the head, and 10 to her stomach, abdomen, and chest with a 10-inch knife still plunged into her heart.
Her fiancé Sam Goldberg told police he broke down the door, which was locked from the inside, found her, and attempted CPR with on the phone with 911.
Assistant Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne initially ruled her death a homicide but changed it to suicide after a meeting with police and prosecutors.
Greenberg's parents Joshua and Sandee have spent the 13 years since, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, trying to reverse it.
'Ellen stabbing herself 20 times before dying is bulls**t. She died from a very vicious, very painful knife attack,' Joshua told DailyMail.com
After amassing a wealth of evidence pointing to homicide, they sued the ME's office and Osborne in 2019 but were rejected by the Commonwealth Court last September.
But the Pennsylvania Supreme Court this week granted their appeal to hear the case as a 'matter of statewide importance'.
'We're smiling, we're very optimistic... I hope we're making our daughter proud. There's been a lot of frustration, but we haven't given up,' Sandee said.
The court will hear arguments on whether 'executors and administrators of an estate have standing to challenge an erroneous finding recorded on the decedent's death certificate'.
The order noted 'that finding constitutes a bar or material impediment to the recovery of victim's compensation, restitution or for wrongful death, as well as private criminal complaints'.
Joshua said the family would change a longstanding precedent if it won, and hoped Greenberg's cause of death would at least be changed to 'undetermined'.
'Medical examiners apparently have this ability that you and I don't have - they can walk on water so their conclusions cannot be challenged, except by a court. So, we are challenging something that cannot be challenged,' he said.
The family's lawyer, Joseph Podraza, said getting the finding changed could force Greenberg's death to be reinvestigated as a possible homicide.
'We've got our fingers and toes crossed. That's why we were ecstatic when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided to take up the matter,' he said.
'We're hopeful that one of the reasons that they took this case is to set that precedent and to correct what we contend is an erroneous determination.'
Though the Commonwealth Court found the Greenbergs had no standing to challenge the medical examiner, the judges were otherwise on their side.
The 39-page decision was a scathing indictment of how the case was handled, giving them hope for the Supreme Court appeal.
Biden met with national security team ahead of anticipated Iranian attack against Israel
President Biden met with his national security team in the Situation Room Monday ahead of an anticipated Iranian attack against Israel.
The meeting came a day after Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III spoke with his counterpart in Israel Sunday to reiterate U.S. support for the Jewish state as tensions escalate with Iran and its proxies, threatening a wider regional war after 10 months of fighting Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
Austin and Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant discussed U.S. force posture moves that the Defense Department is taking to bolster protection for U.S. forces in the region, support the defense of Israel, and deter and de-escalate broader tensions in the region, according to readout from the Pentagon.
That meeting came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a Cabinet meeting Sunday that Israel is already in a "multi-front war" with Iran and its proxies.
Tensions in the region are already at all-time highs after last week’s killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon and Hamas' top political leader in Iran. Iran and its allies have blamed Israel and threatened retaliation. Hamas said it has begun discussions on choosing a new leader.
Netanyahu said Israel was ready for any scenario. Jordan's foreign minister was making a rare trip to Iran as part of diplomatic efforts — "We want the escalation to end," Ayman Safadi said.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken reportedly told his counterparts on Sunday that Iran and Hezbollah could attack Israel as early as Monday, per Axios.
Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, head of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is expected to arrive in Israel Monday to coordinate preparations for the anticipated attack, according to the Times of Israel.
In Israel, some prepared bomb shelters and recalled Iran's unprecedented direct military assault in April following a suspected Israeli strike that killed two Iranian generals. Israel said almost all the drones and ballistic and cruise missiles were intercepted.
"For years, Iran has been arming and financing terrorist organizations across the Middle East, including smuggling explosives into Israeli territory for terror attacks against civilians," IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a statement. "The IDF and ISA have already thwarted numerous attacks in which Claymore type explosives were smuggled into the country’s territory. We are determined to continue acting against Iranian terrorism wherever it may be."
The war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel that killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took around 250 people hostage. Israel’s brutal retaliation has led to the deaths of nearly 40,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
Heavy airstrikes and ground operations have caused widespread destruction and displaced the vast majority of Gaza's 2.3 million people.
“To establish a Palestinian state means to abandon, God forbid, the center of the country to the Nazis and the next massacre"

Twenty-five new outposts have been established in Judea and Samaria Since October 7, 2023, according to a new Peace Now report. I received the report in my email because I am a Peace Now subscriber, so you won’t have to be.
The report, which summarizes the numbers behind the Israeli government’s actions “to annex the West Bank under the auspices of the war,” also states that the government has promoted approvals for the construction of 8,271 housing units throughout Judea and Samaria (although Peace Now used the W word).
One of the significant moves made by the government in Judea and Samaria since the outbreak of the war was declaring some 6,000 acres as state lands, which allowed the state to build there. Peace Now noted that 2024 was a record year for land declared state land, which is about half of the entire area declared as state land since the 1994 Oslo Accords.
The new Peace Now report reveals:
- 25 new outposts were established.
- Dozens of roads have been carved out.
- 24,193 dunams (a little less than 6,000 acres) were declared as state lands.
- Plans for 8,721 housing units in the settlements have been promoted.
- 5 new settlements were established by cabinet decision.
- 3 outposts were qualified as “neighborhoods” of existing settlements.
- 70 illegal outposts were recognized as eligible for budgeting and infrastructure.
Here’s to you, John Oliver!
Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Monday: “To establish a Palestinian state means to abandon, God forbid, the center of the country to the Nazis and the next massacre. We are working on the ground to remove this threat from the agenda, to ensure security for the residents of the seam line, Gush Dan, and everywhere else in the country. We do this through strengthening settlements in construction, development, establishment and regulation of settlements and infrastructure, stopping the Arab takeover of the open areas, fighting the terrorist financing of the Palestinian Authority and its leaders and imposing complete Israeli control of the territory. This is the only way.”

What to have at home in case of war
Alongside the Home Front Command's recommendation to keep products in every
home that can last for 3 days, such as food, water, medicines, toiletries,
rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, a battery-operated transistor,
etc., the Ministry of Economy has held internal discussions in recent months
with the Ministry of Health, the National Emergency Authority, and the Home Front
Command and formulated a list of emergency food items.
The recommended food items include dry goods that do not require cooking
like raw tahini, nuts, couscous, bulgur, oats, various canned goods, tuna,
hot meals, biscuits, rice cakes, crackers, dried fruits, cooked legumes,
peanut butter, honey, sugar, halva, tea, coffee, etc.
Inventory Check
The Ministry of Economy has instructed the chains to prepare for the sale of
quantities sufficient for 3-7 days, with guidelines for the supermarket
chains to prepare with appropriate stocks for the population. The ministry
conducts regular checks and has found that there are sufficient stocks in
the chains, warehouses, and production, and there is no need for food
hoarding.
IDF Launches New Alert System For Large-Scale Emergencies
The IDF’s Home Front Command has launched a new system to send location-based alerts to the public.
The new platform enables Israeli civilians to receive personal messages in large-scale emergency events directly, without the need for any action on their part.
The messages will appear on users’ phone screens automatically and sound a warning alarm along with emergency instructions. The Cell-Broadcast-based technology enables the dissemination of messages to many subscribers in the same area simultaneously.
The system does not replace the Home Front Command app or physical alert sirens but is specifically for large-scale emergencies.
"White Privileged" Stephanopoulos Gets Unhinged Talking Down to A Black Representative
In a heated exchange on ABC News, Representative Byron Donalds and host George Stephanopoulos clashed over Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity. The segment, which quickly became tense, showcased a dramatic confrontation that left viewers questioning the impartiality of the host.
The interaction began when Stephanopoulos brought up Harris’ racial identity, prompting Donalds to address the ongoing social media conversation surrounding the topic. However, the discussion quickly escalated when Stephanopoulos accused Donalds of perpetuating a slur.
“You just repeated the slur again. If it doesn’t matter why do you keep questioning her identity? She’s always identified as a black woman. She is biracial. She has a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. She always identified as both. Why are you questioning that?” Stephanopoulos demanded.
Donalds responded, attempting to shift the focus to broader issues. “Well George, first of all this is something that’s actually a conversation throughout social media right now. There are a lot of people that are trying to figure this out. But again that’s a side issue, not the main issue. The main issue is…”
Stephanopoulos, visibly agitated, interrupted. “Sir, one second. You just did it! You just did it again! Why do you insist on questioning her racial identity?!”
As tensions rose, Donalds tried to regain control of the conversation. “Do you want to talk or do you want me to talk?”
“I want you to answer my question!” Stephanopoulos shot back.
“George… George. Now that you’re done yelling at me let me answer!” Donalds retorted, highlighting the contentious nature of the exchange.
The fiery confrontation left viewers wondering about Stephanopoulos’ ability to maintain impartiality, especially in the context of a potential ABC Presidential debate. The segment has since sparked widespread discussion and debate on social media, with many questioning the boundaries of journalistic neutrality and the role of media in political discourse.

Family of murdered Israeli hostage releases sickening footage of Innocent Gaza civilians kicking and stomping on his corpse
The family of a murdered Hamas hostage posted shocking footage showing the victim’s lifeless corpse being abused and desecrated on the streets of Gaza following the Oct. 7 terror attack.
Levi, 52, was a taxi driver from Bat Yam, who was at Kibbutz Be’eri on Oct. 7 to drop off a passenger.
What exactly happened to him during the attack on the kibbutz itself is unclear.
Family members believe he was either prevented from leaving by Hamas militants, or that his cab was struck by a missile or drone.
In the disturbing footage, Eitan’s limp body is seen stuffed in the trunk of a car, being driven into Gaza.
A crowd can be seen trailing after the vehicle.
A blurred portion of the video shows people kicking and stomping on his remains.
Hamas confirmed Levi’s death in December. It is believed Hamas still has Levi’s body.
Trump says he will either debate Kamala Harris on Fox News or ‘won’t see her at all’ as he questions her ‘mental capacity’
Donald Trump announced late Friday night that he has accepted an offer from Fox News to debate Kamala Harris in September.
The former president said in a Truth Social post the debate would be held in Pennsylvania on Sept. 4 and hosted by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
Harris has wanted Trump to stick to the scheduled Sept. 10 debate on ABC News which was originally slated to be a showdown between Trump and President Biden.
The ex-president had previously agreed to the ABC News debate. But following Harris’ ascension to Democratic nominee for president after Biden dropped out of the race, Trump has complained that it would not be “fair.”
Trump also claimed Friday that his ongoing litigation against the ABC and anchor George Stephanopoulos has created a “conflict of interest” with the network.
“I spent Hundreds of Millions of Dollars, Time, and Effort fighting Joe, and when I won the Debate, they threw a new Candidate into the ring. Not fair, but it is what it is! Nevertheless, different Candidate or not, their bad Policies are the same, and this will be strongly revealed at the September 4th Debate,” Trump railed in the Truth Social post.
He said “the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe” but this debate would include “A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE” at a to-be-announced venue.
Trump’s campaign said previously that it would not finalize debate plans until Harris was formally declared the Democratic nominee.
In a statement posted to X Saturday, Team Harris refused to say whether she would agree to the Fox News showdown.
“We’re happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th,” she said in the post, falsely asserting that Trump had previously agreed to debate her.
Trump responded later Saturday that Harris “doesn’t have the mental capacity” to face him.
“I’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at all,” he said.
Harris on Friday secured enough votes to secure her nomination — despite never winning a primary.
