Mendel Furst a Satmar Lakewood Rebbe accused of grabbing a 10-year-old student by the neck and dragging him up stairs

The prosecutor in the case of a Yeshiva teacher accused of endangering the welfare of a child by grabbing him by the neck and dragging him up a flight of stairs has offered the teacher a deal in which he would avoid trial but would have to forfeit his teaching position – or any work at a school – for three years.

The deal was proposed in Ocean County court on Wednesday. It follows a July 10 hearing at which the prosecutor asked for additional time to determine that the victim’s family wasn’t being subject to “undue pressure or threats” from rabbis. If he accepts, the Hasidic schoolteacher who faces charges of abusing the 10-year-old boy will be admitted to New Jersey’s Pre-Trial Intervention program.

The defendant, Rabbi Mendel Furst, who teaches at a Satmar boys’ school in Lakewood, allegedly grabbed the child by the neck and dragged him up a stairwell, leaving scratches and bruising around his neck, according to a Lakewood police report from January.

Furst was seen in surveillance video committing the offense as a way of scolding the boy on Nov. 12, 2023, police said. He was charged with fourth-degree cruelty and neglect of a child.

In response to Shtetl’s request, the police only released heavily redacted bodycam videos of officers executing their search warrant, while neither prosecutor nor police would share the surveillance footage they obtained from the school. However, the attorney for the boy’s family wrote a memo describing what he saw in the school surveillance footage. A man’s “right hand was wrapped around the child's hand in a head lock,” the attorney, Terrance Turnbach, wrote. “At one point in time on the video, the child's feet are actually in the air while being restrained.”

“The child was visibly carried up the staircase in this manner while the Rabbi was chanting ‘What do you say to the wicked, there will be no peace to the wicked’ in Hebrew in a sing song chant,” Turnbach added.

In Ocean County criminal court on Wednesday, the prosecutor, Kimberly Carr, said that she and the alleged victim’s father supported pre-trial intervention, a program that allows defendants to avoid a trial, as long as Furst agrees to certain conditions.

Furst would have to avoid contact with the alleged victim and his family, go to anger management classes, and not work as a teacher or school administrator for three years. Furst’s attorney, Yosef Jacobovitch, said they needed time to consider the proposal; they are due back in court on Sep. 4.

But at the previous hearing, on July 10, Carr was reluctant to agree to  PTI. She said that the victim’s father who had initially opposed Furst’s participation in the program “received phone calls from rabbis on behalf of this defendant inquiring as to the basis for his opposition to the program.”

The morning of that hearing, the father’s attorney told Carr the father had a “change of heart” and now supported PTI. The prosecutor was suspicious about this change and said she would evaluate further, before agreeing to the deal.

“I want to have an opportunity to make sure that that change of heart is not a result of undue pressure or threats that are coming on behalf of the defendant,” Carr said. “To not ask those questions, I feel, would not be doing my due diligence.”

In response, Jacobovitch said that any inappropriate calls made to the alleged victim’s father were not made from him. “There was absolutely nothing that was presented to the victim or his father that would make him change his position,” Jacobovitch said. “That definitely did not come from us. And if that was the case, you know, obviously we would apologize for that.”

The judge, Linda Baxter, then advised Jacobovitch: “I’m going to underscore what I know the state is going to say to you, which is that your client and you should both do whatever you can to make sure that third parties do not reach out to the alleged victim or his father, because that’s not helping.”

At the time, the judge proposed the next hearing be on Aug. 7, but postponed it to Aug. 14 after Jacobovitch asked to have it changed — likely because Aug. 7 would’ve fallen during the last nine days of the Three Weeks, a period between the fast days of Shiva Asar B'tammuz and Tisha B’av, which many Orthodox Jews consider an unlucky time. 

Jacobovitch would not stop to talk to Shtetl’s reporter at the courtroom on Wednesday, and his law firm has not returned a call from Shtetl.

New details of how Israel eliminated Fuad Shukr

A Hezbollah official revealed new details about the assassination of the terrorist organization's most senior military commander and the head of its Strategic Unit, Fuad Shukr, last month, the Wall Street Journal reported.

According to the source, on the day on which Shukr was eliminated, he received a phone call telling him to go up the five floors to his apartment in which he had stayed throughout the day.

As soon as Shukr entered his apartment, an Israeli airstrike blew up the apartment, killing him and other members of his family instantly.

According to the report, the phone call to Shukr was made by someone who hacked Hezbollah's internal communication network.

Shukr was assassinated on July 30 in an airstrike in a suburb of Beirut, days after he was responsible for the massacre of 12 children in a Hezbollah rocket attack that struck a soccer field in Majdal Shams in northern Israel.

Shukr was also responsible for the bombing of the US marine barracks in Beirut in 1983 in which 241 American servicemen were murdered. The US has a $5 million bounty on his head

 

Don Lemon of CNN "Surprised" when he interviews Atlantic City Residents

 

 In a recent on-the-ground interview, former CNN anchor Don Lemon found himself at odds with the sentiments of Atlantic City residents regarding the state of the U.S. economy. The segment, intended to gauge public opinion, quickly became a contentious exchange as multiple locals voiced their support for former President Donald Trump, citing a stronger economy and greater financial stability during his administration.

Lemon, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, was visibly surprised as interview after interview revealed a consistent theme: many residents felt more financially secure under the previous administration.

“Four years ago, it was a lot better. I made a lot more money than I do now,” said one man, reflecting on his personal experience. When Lemon attempted to fact-check the claim, the man responded with laughter, dismissing Lemon’s statistics with a simple, “I know nobody likes him, but we had good times with Donald Trump.”

Another woman echoed these sentiments, expressing frustration with the current economic climate. “The economy was good, life was good,” she said, underscoring a growing disconnect between the realities faced by many Americans and the messaging they receive from the media.

Throughout the interviews, Lemon repeatedly insisted that the economy has improved under Joe Biden. However, these assertions were met with skepticism and even outright laughter from the locals. Many residents pointed to their struggles with rising grocery prices and the overall cost of living as evidence contrary to Lemon’s claims.

This street interview highlights a significant divide between media narratives and the lived experiences of everyday Americans. While economists may present data supporting economic growth under the Biden administration, many people, especially in working-class areas like Atlantic City, are not feeling the benefits.

President Herzog Is Surveying the Jewish People – Go Tell Him How You Feel!

 

President Isaac Herzog announced the launch of a pivotal global survey to shape dialogue and leadership development within the Jewish world — the first step of his Voice of the People initiative. The survey will help create a new worldwide Jewish advisory council to address the most pressing challenges facing Jewish communities in Israel and the Diaspora.

President Isaac Herzog said, “We are currently engaged in safeguarding the State of Israel and reinforcing the strength of the Jewish people amid a challenging war and rising antisemitism. Simultaneously, we face critical issues that demand our attention. In response, we are establishing the Voice of the People council, which will ensure the Jewish people’s ability to thrive in a changing world. The survey we are launching today will shape the council, and therefore shape the discussions impacting the future of the Jewish people. I encourage everyone to participate and contribute to help build our collective future.”

Voice of the People, Kol Ha’am, in Hebrew, was launched to become an incubator for innovative and practical solutions to the pressing challenges facing the Jewish people worldwide, while also fostering international Jewish leadership. Led by CEO Shirel Dagan-Levy, the initiative will set goals and objectives to implement the ideas generated in working groups, aiming to bring about real change in shaping the Jewish future.

The initiative will include the establishment of an international Jewish council composed of 150 leaders from communities around the world — 50 representatives from Israel, 50 from the US and Canada, and 50 from other countries. This council will convene online once a month for two years, culminating in a conference in Israel in March 2025, with all representatives attending in person.

The first step in launching the project involves distributing a survey to the global Jewish community to select the topics for discussion in the first council meeting. This survey will be open for responses for the next 45 days, after which the results will guide the council’s priorities and strategic actions. Twenty survey respondents will be selected to participate in a private conversation with the President during the virtual launch event on September 15, 2024.

NY Times reporter leaked Jewish WhatsApp group data that fell into hands of anti-Israel activists who harassed members

The New York Times said it took disciplinary action against a reporter who acknowledged leaking data about a WhatsApp group chat for Jewish business people that led to its members being doxxed and harassed by activists sympathetic to Palestinians.

Natasha Frost, a Times reporter who was based in Melbourne, Australia, earlier this year, downloaded and shared 900 pages of content from the private WhatsApp chat that was launched by Jewish professionals in response to the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that claimed the lives of nearly 1,200 Israelis.

Frost acknowledged to the Wall Street Journal that she shared the information with one individual before it fell into the hands of anti-Zionist activists.

Leftists Protested Outside Shas MK’s Home – Ends On A Surprising Note

 Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Haskel, one of the leading protesters against the government, published a long post on his Facebook account on Thursday under the title “A Surprising Meeting,” in which he described how he was hosted at the home of Shas MK Yinon Azoulay.

“We started the protest two weeks ago by standing in front of the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, in front of the home of Knesset member Aryeh Deri, and in front of the home of Minister Moshe Arbel. This evening, it was in front of the home of Shas MK Yinon Azoulay in Ashdod in order to request from him and the members of his party to take another significant step to advance a plan to release the hostages.”

“While I was still talking on the megaphone, MK Azoulay approached me and invited us for a conversation in his home. We went up to the fourth floor, to a modest apartment in a regular apartment building. MK Yinon has six sons. As soon as we came in, Yinon asked one of his kids to prepare drinks for us and served us homemade cookies that his wife made.”

“We introduced ourselves and explained why we came late at night to disturb his rest. I must point out that MK Yinon was attentive and told about what he and the other Shas members have done for the hostages. MK MK promised to convey our words to Deri. At the end, we took a picture and said goodbye.”

He ended: “Until today, we’ve received police intervention during our protest. Today we were treated to listening and friendly hospitality.” He signed the post with the words: “There will still be good days.”

HORRIFIC TRAGEDY: 2 Chassidim Killed When Their Vehicle Rolls Down Embankment In Mountaindale

 

A horrific tragedy struck the Jewish community on Thursday night, as word spread of the deaths of two young men in the Chassidish community who were killed in a car crash in the Catskills.

Catskills Hatzolah and other emergency personnel were at the horrific scene on Church Road in Mountaindale, where a vehicle had overturned, rolled down an embankment, and burst into flames, killing both of the vehicle’s occupants.

Hatzolah personnel rushed to the scene but were tragically unable to save the crash victims.

Chevra Kadisha were at the scene to ensure kavod hameis.

The victims were identified as Yisroel Sholom (ben Yaakov) Oshri Z”L, from the Belzer Community in Boro Park, and Mendel (ben Moshe) Weinberger Z”L, from the Satmar Kehilla.

The Levaya for Yisroel Sholom Oshri will take place on Friday morning at the Belzer Bais Medrash at 1350 39 Street in Boro Park at 10:00am, followed by a Levaya in Monsey at the Belzer Bais Medrash at 12 Maple Terrace. The Kevura will be held in Monsey.

Levaya details for Mendel Weinberger will be published when they become available 

Should Hamas Talks Fail, US Plans Direct Offensive on Smotrich, Ben Gvir, Maybe Netanyahu

 

If the negotiations with Hamas fail this time as well, the Americans will be faced with a dilemma of how to proceed, when the chances of a deal are so slim and the Democratic Party convention is starting next week. Make no mistake about it, this was never about the suffering civilians in Gaza or, alternatively, the remaining living Israeli hostages who have not been murdered yet. This has always been about winning the White House and gliding problem-free into the January 20, 2025 inauguration.

So, what will the administration do if Israel fails to deliver? Mind you, it’s always about Israel. No one expects Hamas’s lone boss Yahia Sinwar to be flexible – only Netanyahu is being ordered to give a little more. And this is not coming only from the Americans – the IDF brass are convincing themselves and anyone suicidal enough to listen that no harm could come from withdrawing from the Philadelphi corridor that separates Gaza from Egypt. They’ll sprinkle sensors everywhere to make sure the tons of Iranian weapons and ammunition waiting on the Egyptian side are not delivered to breathe new life into the expiring Hamas. And should push come to shove, no problem, the IDF is perfectly capable of retaking Philadelphi.

The Hebrew word for this kind of hubris is “Smokh.” It means, literally, “count (on me).” Israelis used to trust the IDF’s smokh. But since October 1973, and even more so since October 2023, no one does. Not even a little. Netanyahu and the majority right-wing contingency in his cabinet and coalition are well aware that once the IDF abandons Philadelphi, the war gains would be reversed.

And this is why Hamas is pushing this point above anything else. It all comes down to getting the IDF to stop punishing them in southern and central Gaza. Luckily, they’ve got a Michigan-pleasing White House on their side. Heck, they have the IDF Command on their side.

Zionists Home Front Command Worry about Charedi hikers who may be at risk during Bein Hazamanim

The IDF's Home Front Command is concerned that haredi hikers may be at risk due to the security situation, especially in northern Israel.

With the start of the yeshivas' three-week vacation, the number of haredim hiking around Israel is expected to skyrocket, and many, if not most, do not have smartphones which support the Home Front Command's app or similar apps which warn of incoming missiles or hostile aircraft infiltrations.

Air raid sirens sound only in populated areas, and missiles which are expected to land in open areas are usually not intercepted.

Galei Zahal reported that in light of this situation, the Home Front Command has published an information sheet for haredi hikers; a Home Front Command document details the steps taken to educate the public during this period.

Among the warnings included in the information sheet is that without a cellular device on which the Home Front Command app is activated, those hiking in open areas are in danger of their lives. If there is no absolute need, it is recommended to avoid areas which are often targeted by missiles or hostile aircraft, especially those in northern Israel.

The paper also emphasized the importance of maintaining a distance from fallen missiles, which abound in open areas where dozens or even hundreds of rockets have fallen during the course of the war.

Bereaved Father Slams Haaretz: “מלשינים ארורים: Our Son Was Burned Alive & You Burned Our Hearts”

 Eliyahu Libman, the head of the Kiryat Arba Regional Council, whose son Elyakim, H’yd, was murdered on October 7, slammed the Haaretz newspaper which recently published an investigation claiming that IDF soldiers use Gazans as human shields.

Haaretz reported that the IDF uses Palestinian civilians as human shields in Gaza by ordering them to enter homes and tunnels that may be booby-trapped. Apparently, Haaretz writers believe that it is better that IDF soldiers serve as human shields and should willingly allow themselves to be blown up by entering tunnels and homes that are likely to be booby-trapped

“You’re cursed informers [מלשינים ארורים],” Libman wrote. “All those murdered, abducted, and wounded aren’t enough for you so you endanger IDF heroes with your investigations. You endanger the State of Israel.”

“There is no forgiveness for you nor atonement. How much Jewish blood could have been spared without your perverted morality. Our son was burned alive and you’re burning our hearts with your wickedness.”

EXPOSED: Iran is helping Kamala’s campaign

 

The two-track Iranian plan to either kill or defeat Trump is everything that the media falsely claimed about Russia and the 2016 election.

By Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Magazine

With headlines like “Harris Surges Ahead: A New Era of Democratic Enthusiasm and Opportunity” and “Former Friend Exposes JD Vance’s Radical Transformation: A Study in Political Opportunism”, you might mistake NioThinker for another mainstream media outlet.

Only the occasional odd word choice and a convoluted bit of grammar hints that the digital media site flowing with enthusiasm for Kamala and contempt for Trump isn’t really American.

Classified as part of Iran’s ‘Storm-2035’ network: NioThinker is an enemy operation.

Why is an Islamic terrorist state spending its time putting up articles like “Trump Silent After Fox News Poll Favors Harris in Swing States” and “Pelosi Can’t Stop Laughing At Trump’s Choice’ Of J.D. Vance For VP”.

Like everything else Iran does, it’s a strategic choice. Iran has been boosting Biden-Harris while doing everything possible to undermine Trump.

Israel responds to European support for Palestinian state by approving new settlement in Judea

 

Nahal Heletz, one of five new towns planned in Judea and Samaria, will create continuity of Israeli control from Jerusalem through to the Gush Etzion area.

By World Israel News Staff

Israeli defense authorities gave approval for the establishment of a new Jewish town south of Jerusalem in Judea Wednesday.

The Israeli defense ministry’s Civil Administration, the governing authority in the roughly 60% of Judea and Samaria under full Israeli control, finalized the municipal boundaries for the new town of Nahal Heletz, which will be built as part of the Gush Etzion bloc south of the capital.

Once completed, Nahal Heletz and another new planned town, Sde Boaz, will create territorial continuity of Israeli townships between Jerusalem and the existing Gush Etzion bloc.

The Israeli government voted to green light the establishment of five new recognized towns in Judea and Samaria in late June, in response to European states recognizing unilateral Palestinian statehood.

In addition to Nahal Heletz, towns selected for recognition include Evyatar, Givat Assaf, and Sadeh Efraim in Samaria, and Adoraim in Judea.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionist Party), who also serves as Minister in the Defense Ministry, with authority over settlement affairs inside the ministry, celebrated the finalizing of municipal boundaries for Nahal Heletz as a “historic moment” for the settlement movement.

“About two months ago the security cabinet approved my proposal for the establishment of five new towns in Judea and Samaria,” Smotrich tweeted Wednesday.

“Through combined work of the Ministry of Defense and the Civil Administration, they have put in much effort to implement the decision and, among others, promoted the outline of Nahal Heletz, that will be part of the continued momentum and construction of Jewish towns and villages.”

“No anti-Israel and anti-Zionist decision will stop the further development of Jewish construction. We will continue to fight the dangerous idea of ​​a Palestinian state and establish facts on the ground.”

Iran Blackmailing Netanyahu into Surrendering Gaza or Facing Massive Retribution

 

So, why hasn’t Iran avenged the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on its territory last July 31?

Suleiman Maswadeh, Kan11’s Israeli Arab correspondent (he was born in the Muslim quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem) suggested Tuesday night that maybe the reason why the attack on Israel by Iran and its affiliates has not been carried out so far is because the joint preparation between Iran and Hezbollah regarding the attack has not yet been completed.

In other words, they haven’t attacked because they’re not sure when and how to attack. Should Iran attack first and be followed by Hezbollah? Should they attack together? Either way, both Shiite allies would receive a devastating response from Israel and, hopefully, from the US armada parked on Israel’s shore. But the keener question is when to attack Israel.

Erdan at UN: 'You convened for these terrorists, but not for the children of Majdal Shams'

 

The UN Security Council convened for an urgent session, at the request of Algeria, regarding the IDF’s strike on the Al-Taba’een school in Gaza. Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, presented the Council with images of the Hamas terrorists who were eliminated in the school. Strongly criticizing the Council, he remarked: “You convened for these terrorists who used a school as their terror base, but for the children of Majdal Shams, murdered by Hezbollah’s rocket fire, you couldn’t find the time for an urgent session! Shame on you!”

Erdan presented the UN with images of the Hamas terrorists who were the target of the strike in Gaza, as well as images of the Israeli children who were murdered in Majdal Shams, and sharply criticized the Security Council: “The Council convened today to discuss Hamas’ false claims. Shockingly, it seems that you have decided to dedicate your time to listen to the terrorists’ lies while no real concern has been shown when Israeli children were murdered recently be Hezbollah.”u

He also displayed a board with the faces of the children who were murdered by a Hezbollah missile in Majdal Shams: 

“While those terrorists used a school as their terror base, these children will never see their school again. But for them, you couldn’t find the time for an urgent session! Shame on you!”

In addition, he further criticized the Council for its disregard of the threat of an Iranian attack against Israel, stressing, “The most unbelievable thing is your inaction to condemn and stop the biggest danger and threat to the entire region: Iran.”

“Right now, millions of Israelis are preparing for a direct Iranian attack, just as they did in April. Iran’s aggression threatens the entire region with war. Yet, you are here wasting time on falsehoods spread by the words of terrorists.”

Massive cyber-attack on Iran's major banks

 

A massive cyber attack has hit major banks in Iran, including the Central Bank of Iran, London-based Iranian opposition-affiliated Iran International reported on Wednesday

The attack significantly disrupted the financial activities in the country and it is still unclear if the Iranians have managed to overcome it. It caused most ATMs to stop working, not only in Tehran but in various other cities as well.

According to the report, this is one of the largest cyber attacks against Iranian infrastructure ever.

According to foreign reports, Israel has carried out cyber attacks against Iranian infrastructure in the past, including train stations and gas stations.

Iranian citizens are reporting the following message appearing on ATMs due to the cyberattack:

"Dear Customers,
It is not possible to withdraw money from this ATM.
This is because all of Iran's budget and national resources have been allocated to wars and the corrupt religious leaders of the Islamic Republic regime.
We deeply apologize."

According to new evidence! The terrorist was NOT injured by a blunt object ... All a Lie by the prosecution! ...Solders will be released soon

 New medical evidence in the case of the alleged abuse of Nukhba terrorists at the Sde Teiman military base significantly challenges the military prosecution, Kan News reported on Wednesday.

According to the evidence, there is no proof indicating that the terrorist was injured by a blunt object. In addition, there is strong criticism of the young investigators, who claim that they are not experts in anatomy and medicine, which led to severe mistakes during the investigation.

The Military Defense announced on Tuesday that it reached an agreement with the prosecution for the release of the five suspects to house arrest in view of the expected continuation of the investigation.

At the same time, it was announced that the director of the Sde Teiman detention facility infirmary, who served as the infirmary's commander at the time of the incident, was summoned to testify to the Military Police Investigations Unit. He only testified on Wednesday. Until now, the commander has not been summoned, even though he was responsible for the terrorist's treatment, and was only summoned following another testimony and pressure by the suspects' defense.

Why Chareidim are Suddenly Going After Ben Gvir.... Do they really care why he may be violating a "Safek Kareis?"

 

Harav Yair Lapid 

Harav Ovadia Yosef z"l Referring to Lapid as "Ashmedei" a demon!

הרב הצדיק יאיר לפיד חושש מכרת וזועק כי אסור לעלות להר הבית

 - ומביא כהוכחה את הרב הצדיק אריה דרעי

Ben Gvir with Chassidim on Har Habyis 

Chareidim don't really care whether Ben Gvir or those going up to the Har Habyis are being over a " Safeik Karis"! They could care less! You think that they are losing sleep over Ben Gvir's Olam Haba? 

Did the Gedoilim who condemned Ben Gvir, condemn the Gay Parade in Yerushalayim? 

Do they protest Chillul Shabbos? 

Years ago Harav Amrom Blau z"l protested every shabbos against chillul shabbos, today not a peep! Harav Arye Levin z"l would go every erev Shabbos to stores and try to convince to keep stores closed! 

 Today the spiritual leaders of Chareidim  don't really care about Jews that don't look like them, that violate Shabbos to which there is a definitive capital punishment! They invite politicians that openly are mechelei shabbos  during elections to pander and chanfeh them! They sit with them in the Knesset and shmooze all the time, and they aren't the least concerned about their olam habah!

If they really cared about Ben Gvir as a fellow Jew and were really concerned about his olam habah, they would have invited him over to discuss this like civilized mentchin, but instead, they condemned him in their Loshon Hara rags! 

So what happened? Why are they getting involved now? Why, Ben Gvir has been going up to the Har Habayis for years! 

Read what I wrote a couple of days ago and you will see that this is all about politics, it has nothing to do with Hashem, it has nothing to do with "safeik karis" It's all about votes! 

It all started with hypocritical Loshon Hara paper the Hebrew Yated, denouncing Ben Gvir's ascension to the Har Habyis on Tisha Be'ov! 

Over 3,000 frum Jews including Belzer Chassidim ascended!

On Sunday Aug 11 we posted a well-researched article that going up to the Har Habayis has been a tradition going back at least a thousand years and that the Rambam himself davened on the Har Habayis! (Note: Follow your own Rabbi's Psak)

It is interesting that the Yated trying to support their position that it is prohibited to ascend to the Har Habyis, quotes Harav Avraham Yitzchok Kook z"l who prohibited it! 

This would be laughable if it weren't so tragic, they have absolutely no respect for Harav Kook z"l and zero respect for Harav Aviner shlitah who also prohibits it, but that doesn't stop these hypocrites from bringing support to their position from Gedoilim they hate and actually curse!

In their article denouncing Ben Gvir they denigrate and mock Ben Gvir's Gedoilim! 

When their Charedie Gedoilim are mocked and ridiculed they scream and bark that it is prohibited to be "mevazeh a Talmud Chachim" but they have no problem attacking those Gedoilim that don't agree with them! 

Normally they would ignore Ben Gvir, so why not ignore him now?

Great question! I love my readers' sincere interest in learning the facts!

Ben Gvir is a threat to the rest of the Chareidie parties! 

Ramat Beit Shemesh Alef and the Sheinfeld areas in Beit Shemesh voted overwhelmingly for Ben Gvir in the last two national elections. This is significant since it seems that all new Olim vote for Ben Gvir. Between Ben Gvir and Smotrich they have 14 seats! This means that Chareidim in Bnei-Brak and Yerushalayim are fed up with Deri and Gafni and must also be voting for Ben Gvir! Wow! Their own people are voting for Ben Gvir!!!!

Litvaks were running so scared that they would be losing seats that they schlepped out R' Chaim Kanievski z"l from Bnei--Brak, dragged him kicking and screaming to a huge rally in Yerushalayim! I had reported then about that rally where R' Chaim z"l on an open mike asked his grandchild Yankie "Vus tee ich doo" "what am I doing here?"

So the enemies the Chassidim and the "kalteh litvaks" decided to band together and recruit Harav Hazadik Yair Lapid Shlitah to their cause to make Ben Gvir look like a lunatic! The enemy of my enemy is my friend! 

They now saw an opportunity to show their own who are sympathizing with Ben Gvir, that he is a bono-fide "lunatic" and that he defies Chareidie Rabbis and goes up to the Har Habayis. They are showing them that Ben Gvir "is not one of us" .. 

Truth be told... They don't really care if anyone goes up, and they don't care if Ben Gvir goes up as he goes up every week and they say nothing, but this is a golden opportunity!

Will this work? Only time will tell!

Just weeks ago Belz, Stolin and Viznitz announced that will allow in their Yeshivois secular studies starting this coming Zman! 

The Yated blasted this decision; according to the hypocrites this went against  Mesorah (a lie), and brought their big guns Rav Landau, Rav Hirsch to denounce the Chassidim. R' Landau and R' Hirsch were only too happy to oblige the Yated as there is no lost love between them and chassidim, ; 

Belz and Stolin laughed at them and said that they "don't need kalteh Litvaks to tell them what their mesorah is, and that they are doing this with the Haskama of their own Gedoilim! Interesting that only the kalteh litvaks invoked their worn-out mantra "Daas Torah" but what they ignore is that Chassidim have their own "Daas Torah"  

Ben Gvir is also a threat to Chassidim because according to their own internal studies, their very own Chassidim are fed up with Shas, Degel and the Aguda parties and are abandoning them and turning and voting for Ben Gvir and Smotrich, in the last election many Charedim voted for Ben Gvir and Smotrich!

But what we see from this incident is the following:

#1 Chareidim won't allow others to be Mevazeh their Talmedei Chachim, but they have no qualms mocking and being Mevazeh Talmedei Chachmim that oppose their view in a public forum...see video below!

#2 They will bring Gedoilie Yisrael such as Harav Kook z"l and ybl"c Harav Aviner Shlitha to support their view, though they ridicule and mock them all the time! In fact, they erased Harav Kook z"l from the Charedie establishment altogether! 

#3 They will team up with far-leftists like Yair Lapid who hates their guts, and sit down with them in private discussions to try to oust their threat ... Ben Gvir! 

#4 Chassidim and the Litvaks who hate each other's guts will team up to try to eliminate their common enemy! 

Below watch a video of Chareidim Being Mevazeh a Gadol BeYisrael Harav Leibil Shlitah because he refuses to follow their psaks! 

Tisha Be'Ov is over back to Sinas Chinim!!
