She lost her father on October 7th—and now she sings at his grave. So many children became orphans that day. So many hearts shattered. The pain didn’t end on October 7th—it ripples through every child, every family, every future that will never be the same. Never forget what Hamas did. Never forget the victims. ๐

The BBC Documentary that Paints Every Israeli as an Extremist
Louis Theroux’s new BBC ‘Settlers’ documentary claims impartiality. What it delivers is a slick propaganda film: Israel as aggressor, settlers as sociopaths, Palestinians as voiceless victims. Let’s talk about what Theroux really chose to show—and what he left out. ๐งต pic.twitter.com/ITMjNAB5vj

By Rachel O’Donoghue, Honest Reporting
Louis Theroux first visited Judea and Samaria in 2011 to film a documentary titled Louis and the Ultra-Zionists, part of his long-running series for the BBC. Back then, he at least seemed to possess a trace of journalistic curiosity. Even the title signaled a degree of editorial caution, framing his subjects as a small, ideological fringe rather than as representative of Israeli society as a whole.
At the time, Theroux made an effort to clarify that he was profiling a narrow segment of Israelis. He showed legally purchased Jewish homes (sold by Arab landowners, no less) and acknowledged the regular — and at times deadly — terror attacks faced by Israeli civilians living in the area, often requiring military protection. There was condescension, certainly. But there was also context.

"The Peaceful Dismantlement of the State of “Israel”
If the State of Israel were dismantled, there are two possibilities:
Either the Jews remain in the land of Israel OR they leave the land of Israel.
If the Jews remain in the land of Israel, without the Israeli Army to protect them,
they would all be killed, slaughtered, annihilated, murdered and massacred.
Some of the surviving women and children would become SLAVES to Muslims.
This has actually happened before, so what I say is historical, not merely theoretical.
If the Jews would leave the land of Israel, then approximately
8 million Jews will become homeless refugees.
Which countries will accept approximately 8 million Jewish refugees?
I cannot think of any country or any combination of countries
that would accept even half that number of Jewish refugees,
or even half-of-half that number of Jewish refugees.
If millions of Jews were massacred, the nations of the world
would interpret that as G*D abandoning the Jewish people,
which would be a very great Chillul HaShem,
which would cause even more persecution against Jews.
If millions of Jews became homeless refugees, the nations of the world
would interpret that as G*D abandoning the Jewish people,
which would be a very great Chillul HaShem,
which would cause even more persecution against Jews.
Last but not least, dismantling the State of Israel,
even “peacefully”, is the fantasy of every neo-Nazi,
radical anti-Semite and fanatical Jew-hater.
The fact that UJM agrees with millions of neo-Nazis,
radical anti-Semites and fanatical Jew-haters
SHOULD be a very big warning that he is pointed
in the WRONG direction; but just as radical anti-Semites
and fanatical Jew-haters refuse to listen to logic,
the Chareidi anti-Zionists also refuse to listen to logic.
The Chareidi anti-Zionists will eventually go to the
same place in Gehinom as the millions of neo-Nazis,
radical anti-Semites and fanatical Jew-haters.
They will be neighbors and roommates in Gehinom.
PS: The so-called “peaceful” dismantlement of the State of Israel
would soon result in the complete destruction of:
[1] Every synagogue in Eretz Yisrael.
[2] Every yeshivah in Eretz Yisrael.
[3] Every mikvah in Eretz Yisrael.
[4] Every stone in the Kotel.
Again Square Root comments:
Trying to dismantle the State of Israel peacefully is like
grabbing an ax, and using the ax to cut a lamb’s head off,
without killing the lamb.
Just as it is NOT possible to cut a lamb’s head off,
without killing the lamb, it is also NOT possible
to dismantle the State of Israel peacefully.
This should be obvious to every person whose IQ is above 75,
but some Jews have been brainwashed by extreme anti-Jewish hate.
UJM and HaKatan have still not explained where 8 million
Jewish refugees are supposed to go to,
after they dismantle the State of Israel “peacefully”.
I cannot think of any country or any combination of countries
that would accept even half that number of Jewish refugees,
or even half-of-half-of-half that number of Jewish refugees.
Thugs charged with savage murder of Israeli businessman in his LA home are illegal immigrants
The three men who allegedly murdered an Israeli businessman late last month in his Los Angeles home are all illegal immigrants from Georgia — one of whom was released after an earlier crime by a sanctuary city, sources told The Post.
The three attackers allegedly broke into Alexander Modebadze’s Los Angeles home, where they held the 47-year-old captive for hours before savagely beating him to death, police said in a statement.
Cops later arrested Pata Kochiashvili, Zaza Otarashvili and Besiki Khutsishvili and charged them with murder — and all three now have federal immigration detainers lodged against them, according to sources.
They are now being held on a $2 million bail.
Otarashvili and Khutsishvili were released into the US after crossing the southern border illegally under the Biden administration, according to sources.
Otarashvili was arrested by border agents after crossing the Yuma, Arizona, border illegally on July 3, 2022, and was swiftly released and instructed to report to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in New York.
He reported to ICE’s New York office roughly three weeks later and was told to come back a year later, which he failed to do.
The illegal migrant applied for asylum in October 2022, but his immigration court hearing was cancelled for an undisclosed reason.
Israel has no choice but to take control of Gaza and at last destroy Hamas
Israel has called up tens of thousands of reservists in advance of plans to capture — and this time hold — all of the Gaza Strip, should Hamas refuse to agree to a cease-fire by May 16.
The escalation is understandable; indeed, almost inescapable: What other choice does Israel have?
Hamas won’t agree to any serious deal short of a permanent end to the war that allows it to survive and maintain its death-grip on Gaza — which it has vowed time and again to use to stage more Oct. 7, 2023-style attacks on the Jewish state.
So Israel can’t permanently halt the war with Hamas in control of Gaza, yet no other nation has offered a realistic plan to end the Hamas threat, nor to govern Gaza.
So Jerusalem is giving Hamas one last chance to agree to permanently surrender control of the strip, or to get a temporary cease-fire if it frees the last hostages, including an American, Edan Alexander.
If Hamas doesn’t bite by the time President Donald Trump wraps up his Middle East trip next week, the IDF will once again order evacuations, starting in Gaza’s north, and systematically clear and retake control of all Gaza.
The Jewish state would then hold those areas indefinitely to prevent Hamas’ return — though a government spokesman says the plan isn’t meant to produce a permanent occupation.
Operation Gideon’s Chariots will roll out gradually, but won’t stop until Jerusalem controls all of Gaza — and Hamas has no place to hide. Good.
Israel will also seek to deprive the terror group of humanitarian aid, which it has used to maintain its control over Gaza’s population. And it vows to destroy Hamas infrastructure and target its leaders.
All this will help force the release of the remaining hostages, or pave the way for their rescue by IDF forces.
Israeli military officials believe now is the time to “launch the concluding moves” of the war, explained Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
No one with any compassion wants the war in Gaza to drag on, but Israel can’t end by accepting an eternal threat of periodic Oct. 7-style massacres.
Hamas still needs to be eliminated and Gaza secured; with the full support of the US president, Israel now has a chance to do that.
It’s time to get it done.
Israeli Military Analyst On Houthi Attacks: “We’re Caught In An American Trap”
I24NEWS military analyst Tzvi Yechezkeli referred to the Israeli preparations for an attack in Yemen as an “American trap.”
“The trap we are in is mainly an American trap,” Yechezkeli said. “The Americans have taken it upon themselves to attack the Houthis with very, very serious and intensive attacks. But in practice, we’re getting what we already know from before—that it’s impossible to subdue the Houthis from the air.”
“And no matter how much the Americans try, including bringing in Yemeni forces opposed to the Houthis on the ground, it’s not working.”
“If we didn’t have the interception means, we might have already rolled up our sleeves and dealt with the problem, but the trap is that we gave it to the Americans, and this must be seen in the Iranian context. It’s not just an incident between us and the Houthis; Iran is involved. And the Americans are dragging their feet on negotiations with Iran.”
Yechezkeli continued: “I’ll just mention a few things about Trump’s first 100 days. He promised that if there’s no deal after two months of negotiations with Iran, he’ll attack. We’re reaching that deadline very soon. He promised hell in Gaza – it’s not happening. The issue of the deal and everything he pressured Hamas for – it’s also not happening.”
“Trump’s tweets and reality are separate. The reality says that he, Trump, is following in Obama’s footsteps. He’s moving toward an agreement with Iran and therefore, they’re getting this energy and this approval that it’s possible to attack Israel.”
Yechezkeli concluded: “The Houthi spokesperson said that they attacked Israel because Israel is recruiting reservists. And I wonder – if the Houthis are in such a state, they probably weren’t harmed. And therefore it goes back to this, to the issue that it’s an American trap.”
“If the Americans give up the negotiations, give the green light – it’s time to attack Iran, the Houthis will disappear. And if not, we’re in a trap. We’re waiting for the Americans, and Trump is excellent—in tweets. But in the field, we’re still waiting. It’s not happening, and every day that passes is a blow to prestige, deterrence, and certainly to the blow that will come, and I really hope it will come.”
The Rabbis that Prohibited Taking Money From WZO Coming To the US to Grab another $100 Million from Naive Americans
From a commenter:
God forbid we take any money away from the reform WZO. Lets rather go suck out from the Americans another 100 million bucks and let the American yeshivos and moisdois crumble from financial stress while the reform enjoy their billion dollars in funding
DIN: I believe they raised close to $100 million on the last trip to Chutz Le'aaretz! I'm wondering if $100 milion was just sitting in people's accounts, while US Moisdois are struggling to remain afloat? There were three Moisdois in Monsey that closed this past year because they couldn't meet expenses!
So are they now coming every year to schnoor $100 million???
How about joining the IDF?
Several dozen roshei yeshiva representing the Litvish, Chassidish, and Sefardic Torah worlds in Eretz Yisroel gathered on Monday at the home of the venerable sar haTorah, Maran Rav Dov Landau shlit”a, to confront the escalating gezeiros against yeshivos.
With government threats looming — including the potential arrest of yeshiva bochurim for refusing army enlistment — the rabbanim convened to deliberate next steps. After lengthy discussion, a consensus was reached: the situation demands immediate international action. Plans are now underway for a second Keren Olam HaTorah mission to the United States, following the historic success of last year’s campaign.
Despite his advanced age of 95 and recent surgery following a broken bone, Rav Dov shlit”a expressed an unwavering desire to participate once again, saying he wants to do everything he can for Keren Olam HaTorah. Rav Dov requested tefillos from the tzibbur that he should have the strength to travel once more to America on behalf of the yeshivos.
The meeting was marked by remarkable achdus, with roshei yeshiva from all backgrounds joining together with one voice and one mission: to secure the future of Torah in Eretz Yisroel.
Askanim involved say the trip is tentatively planned for shortly after Shavuos. Last year’s inaugural campaign brought in over $100 million for yeshivos and drew tens of thousands of participants to events across the U.S., Canada, and South America.
Beit Shemesh Rabbis Call To Boycott Entire BIG Chain Over Shabbos Desecration
The struggle against the BIG retail chain, which recently opened a large shopping mall in Glilot near Tel Aviv that operates on Shabbat, continues. On Sunday evening, the leading rabbis of Beit Shemesh, including Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein (Lithuanian sector), Rabbi Natan Kopshitz (Hasidic sector), and Rabbi Shlomo Zaafrani (Sephardic sector), signed a letter along with other city rabbis calling on the public to boycott the mall, according to a Kikar HaShabbat report.
In an unusually sharp letter, the top Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Hasidic rabbis call on residents to refrain from buying products from chains that desecrate Shabbat. This includes not only branches that are open on Shabbat, but even those that remain closed locally, if the chain’s national owners publicly violate the sanctity of Shabbat—such as the BIG shopping complex, which is closed on Shabbat in Beit Shemesh but operates on Shabbat in the newly opened Glilot branch.

Chareidim Sinas Chinam Bullying and Sefira
The Gemarrah in Yevamos 62b, tells us that Rabbi Akiva
Harav Hagoen Eliyahu Godlevsky sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping his three daughters
DIN: Though this case was adjudicated last year July 2024, we were given permission to release his name yesterday!
At the request of three sisters who were sexually abused by their father, the Tel Aviv District Court today (Sunday) allowed the publication that Rabbi Eliyahu Godlevsky, one of the senior rabbis of Breslov, one of the rabbis who signed against Berland and came out against him with all his might, and the leader of the Azamra organization for the dissemination of the teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, was convicted about a year ago on April 9, 2024, in the Tel Aviv District Court, of committing sexual offenses against three of his daughters.On July 11, 2024, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, suspended imprisonment and compensation to the victims
Advocate Licole Tamsut, who represents the victims on behalf of the Legal Aid Department at the Ministry of Justice: "I have been accompanying the victims in the legal proceedings for more than two years. During this period, I was exposed to their strengths and abilities on the one hand, but also to their difficulty in the fact that they were required to remain silent due to the publication ban on the affair.
The victims are happy that justice has finally been served, after years of suffering, and after more than two years have passed since the complaint was filed. Finally, not only did the fact that their father hurt them receive legal confirmation and he was convicted and sentenced, but the court understood their difficulty, and they no longer have to keep the difficult events they experienced a secret, as they were asked to do by the defendant over the years of abuse.
The possibility that they were given, from now on, not to keep the harm to them a secret, can be the beginning of some kind of healing for the many wounds and damages that accompanied and continue to accompany them over the years."
One of the victims of the offense said after the court's decision to allow the publication of the name of her father, who harmed her and her sisters: "I am happy to be able to breathe again, after the request to lift the gag order was accepted. Finally, the shame is moving aside and we no longer have to hide behind shame and guilt that don't belong to us."
The prosecutor in the case, Adv. Rosi Kabaz of the Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office (Criminal): "The State Attorney's Office welcomes the significant sentence of 10 years in prison imposed by the District Court on Rabbi Eliyahu Godlevsky, after he was convicted of committing sexual offenses against three of his daughters.
The courage of the girls to speak up and complain is that it is possible to reveal the truth about what happened in the family unit, and therefore even when the home, which is supposed to be the safest place for the children, ceases to be a fortress – there is no room for silence!
The punishment and compensation to the complainants may not be able to heal the wounds, but they have the power to send a clear message of condemnation and justice."

Satmars Burning of the Jewish Flag Explained! "it's a Mitzvah"
Satmar and their Neturei Karta Branch have a different torah than the rest of Klall Yisrael!
To them, burning a flag that represents the Jewish People and that also represents Satmar itself is a Mitzvah!
Just that you know, the shul where his father the Kedushas Yom Tov, and subsequently where his brother R' Chaim Tzvi, known as the Atzei Chayim, davened, in Szeget, had a huge Star of David on the Gate leading into the shul!
In addition the Shul in Satmar itself That R' Yoel Teitelbaum became the rav had a Magen Dovid embedded in the Stained Glass above the Aron Kodesh. This shul is intact today as the Germans didn't burn this one down and one can see the Zionist Symbol still today!
Satmar also added another made-up halacha which the tuchislekkers in Lakewood adopted as well, which they call "Yeheeg Ve'al Yaavor"
We know that there are only 3 prohibitions that you are required to give up your own life and not violate!
If someone asks you to commit murder, someone asks you to commit adultery, and finally, if someone asks you to worship idols!
Satmar added another one, and that is supporting Zionism!
The Satmar Rebbe, R' Yoel Teitelbaum z"l, who invented this prohibition, had no problem violating it himself, when he and his Gabbai, Yoel Ashkenazi, managed to join a Zionist Train to escape the Holocaust!
Though he ordered others to give up their lives if they were put in a position to receive help from Zionists, he found a "heter" on his own fatwa, and he survived thanks to the Zionists!

Houthis tested new missile in Ben-Gurion Airport attack
The pro-Iranian Al Mayadeen network claims that the Houthis in Yemen had fired a new type of missile toward Ben-Gurion International Airport yesterday. The report cited assessments suggesting the launch was part of ongoing efforts by the Yemeni terrorist organization to develop advanced missiles and drones, in defiance of American military operations in the region.
At the same time, Saudi-owned Al Hadath reported that the US-led coalition had struck a Houthi training camp overnight. According to the report, dozens of Houthi operatives were killed or wounded in training camp strikes over the past 24 hours.
Throughout the night, the US coalition reportedly carried out dozens of airstrikes on Houthi hideouts, military posts, and rocket launchers across Yemen, focusing primarily on the northern provinces of Saada and Al-Jawf. According to reports, the Houthis had deployed advanced weapons in these areas, including ballistic missile systems and drones.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced that the terrorist organization had launched a ballistic missile toward Ben-Gurion Airport, "in the Jaffa area," claiming it was a hypersonic missile. He said that interception attempts by US and Israeli defense systems had failed and boasted that airport activity was suspended for over an hour. Saree warned all international airlines against flying to Ben-Gurion, claiming the airport was "not safe for flights."
Earlier, senior Houthi figure Mohammed al-Bukhaiti told Arab media that "the attack on Ben-Gurion proves our ability to strike fortified sites inside Israel. We have demonstrated our capability to strike at the military prestige of the US, UK and Israel. There are no red lines in this confrontation with the Zionist entity, the United States and Britain."
Against this backdrop, the head of the Houthis' Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, convened a meeting of the organization's security apparatuses on Sunday "to discuss recent developments, respond to American aggression against Yemen, and support operations in Gaza."
According to a report by the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Iran continues to supply the Houthis with weapons and intelligence on naval movements to improve the accuracy of their attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. At the same time, US forces reportedly thwarted an Iranian weapons shipment to the Houthis by sea in recent days.
