Qatar’s ‘gestures’ to Trump raise suspicions on both ends of the political spectrum

 

The government of Qatar had a surprise for President Trump on his recent visit to the Middle East.

That was the release of the last American-born hostage being held in Gaza.

Edan Alexander, 21, was freed by the Qatari-funded group Hamas as a gesture to Trump.

Two questions obviously arise from that “gesture.”

The first: If Hamas can just release hostages like this why won’t they release all of them, whether they were born in America or not?

The answer to that is clear: It is because the Qataris and Hamas don’t want to release all the hostages.

They want to keep hold of them for as long as possible to exert as much leverage as possible.

The second question is less easy to answer.

If Qatar is so close with Hamas, how on earth can they be regarded as an ally of the United States?

It is that second question that has hovered over the president’s trip this week.

Tze’ela Gez’s Chilling Post: “A Feeling That Nowhere Is Safe”

 

Tze’ela Gez, H’yd, who was murdered in the Bruchin terror attack on Wednesday evening, was a trauma and crisis therapist, which meant she was not only a resident of a high-risk area (Shomron) but she was privy to her clients’ fears and traumas as well.

As someone who helped others, she often posted tips and advice for women going through fears on her Facebook account.

In October 2024, about six months before she was murdered, she wrote about the security situation, saying: “An unsafe period, a feeling that nowhere is safe, and yet we continue to go to work and live.”

She then added, “What helps you to leave the house? And not avoid it…”

Gez A”H was on the way to the hospital to deliver her fourth child when she was targeted in the terror attack near Bruchin.

IDF forces are still engaged in a manhunt for the terrorist.


Video below filmed by Tze'ela Gez, who was murdered by a terrorist yesterday on her way to the delivery room, has surfaced -

*In her words, she reminds us of the responsibility we have, to honor the fallen by living*.

May her memory be for a blessing 💔



Guatemalan Police Rescue 2 Teenage Couples From Lev Tahor; Find Baby’s Remains

DIN: Interesting, they found no Satmar or Tosh Askanim there! Readers have written that Satmar and Tosh Askanim are there to help them! 

Guatemalan authorities targeted the Lev Tahor cult in a raid in the last 24 hours after receiving reports of alleged crimes of human trafficking through forced marriages and abuse of minors.

Agents of the Special Forces of the National Civil Police (PNC), with the support of the Ministry of Interior and the Attorney General’s Office, conducted a raid in the town of Oratorio in Santa Rosa.

During the raid, two underage couples, ages 15 to 17, from the Lev Tahor cult, were rescued, and evidence was seized. In addition, several non-Jews were arrested, including a Nicaraguan national who was caught and detained in the middle of an attempted murder.

In disturbing news, investigators also discovered the skeleton of a one-year-old child buried in a wooden box.

The four teens were transferred to the care of special staff from the Public Complaints Commissioner for Children and Youth. Teens are not forced to remain in the welfare facility they were transferred to after the major police raid on the Lev Tahor cult in December 2024, but all minors are traced via a child abduction alert system (similar to the Amber alert system in the US).

The police raid was carried out after receiving reports that adult Lev Tahor members had forced the teens to marry.

In December 2024, the authorities in Guatemala raided the Lev Tahor cult compound located in San Rosa, about 90 kilometers from the Guatemalan capital, following reports of abuse, and rescued at least 160 minors.

Uprooting the evil element Needed for Chareidim 
• Beit Shemesh Iriya Responds to Attack on Minister Ben Gvir and the waiving of Palestinian Flags in RBS B*

Today's violent events in Ramat Beit Shemesh — including the attack on National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and his wife — once again highlight the complex reality in the city.

The Beit Shemesh Iriya regularly deals with incitement graffiti and Palestinian flags. Just this week, such symbols were removed from multiple locations — during which a municipal crew was physically attacked.

*The Iriya clarifies:* dealing with this phenomenon goes far beyond erasing graffiti — it requires deep government intervention and firm enforcement.

Mayor Greenberg is accompanied by security personnel, following previous attacks on him and his family.
The Iriya will continue working for the safety of the public and calls on the state to take action against the Chareidim threatening residents.

How I Went from Hating Jews to Becoming One

 


Igor Pivnev, who eliminated 13 Hamas terrorists while defending his family and community on October 7, was found dead in an apparent suicide.

Israeli police officer First Sergeant Igor Pivnev, aged 32 from Yated in southern Israel, took his own life on Tuesday.

Pivnev served in the police and was known for eliminating 13 terrorists during the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7th, 2023.

On the morning of the massacre, Pivnev was stationed in Hebron. When he heard about the attack, he decided to return to his home in Yated. On his way, he fought terrorists in several locations, eliminated 13 of them, and after reuniting with his wife and daughters, went out again and joined the local security response team.

Three months ago, his wife, Chani Leiderman-Pivnev, wrote a heartwrenching post about soldiers and police officers who are suffering mentally: "If there are people around you are have been sinking since that Saturday, turn the world on its head so that they can get the proper professional help and treatment. Don't try to save them alone, you can't, and things will just get worse. Fight the feelings of guilt - it's not your fault."

In an interview with the Police Spokesperson last year, Igor recounted the fighting: "The scenario in my head was that I would get home and see a lifeless house, but I put fear aside. From Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak, I headed home, but I saw terrorists walking toward the kibbutz cowshed. Then a shootout began, lasting a few minutes. On the way from the police station to my community, I saw a suspicious white vehicle and stopped on the side of the road. I identified terrorists, I shot at them, and eliminated them.

"We had drills for situations like these, but I never believed that we would confront so many terrorists. When I heard about what happened in Kibbutz Be'eri, I imagined how I'd be left without a wife and children, but I remained optimistic the entire time."

Terrorist Murder Pregnant Israeli and Shoot Her Husband in Samaria as They Drive to Delivery Room

 







The Israeli military is hunting for a terrorist who shot and injured two Israelis, a pregnant woman,Tzala Gez, a resident of Bruchin in Samaria, and her husband, as they drove to the delivery room near the small community of Bruchin, in Samaria, the Israel Defense Forces stated.

The baby was delivered in hospital, Ynet reported, but the baby’s condition wasn’t publicly known. The Rabin Medical Center’s Beilinson Hospital had stated on Wednesday night that its medical teams were fighting in the trauma room to save the life of the woman and the baby.

“I am deeply shocked by the horrific attack in Samaria, targeting a heavily pregnant woman and her husband as they were on their way to the delivery room,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated.

“This vile act precisely reflects the difference between us—those who cherish and bring life—and the despicable terrorists whose very purpose is to kill us and cut lives short,” the prime minister said.

“I trust that our security forces, as in previous cases, will swiftly reach the murderers and hold them and anyone who aided them accountable,” Netanyahu said.

Archaeological evidence Discovers Differences in Minhagim Between the Kingdoms of Yehuda and the Kingdoms of Yisrael!


 Archaeological evidence of names holding significance over thousands of years has been uncovered in an interdisciplinary study from multiple Israeli universities, after personal names etched into clay and stone were found within the bounds of the historical Kingdom of Israel.

The PNAS-published study, from researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University, and the University of Haifa, applied advanced diversity statistics to ancient name data, revealing a stark contrast between kingdoms in biblical times.

The biblical kingdoms of Israel and Judah during the Iron Age II period (between 950-586 BCE) were different in many ways, with different kingdoms catering to different societal norms.  

Now, by applying diversity tools from ecology to ancient name data, researchers found that the Kingdom of Israel had much greater name variety than the southern kingdom, hinting at deeper social differences.

Led by Ariel Vishne and Dr. Barak Sober of the Hebrew University’s Department of Statistics and Center for Digital Humanities, the study suggests that Israelite society was more open and cosmopolitan, while Judah gradually narrowed its naming conventions, reflecting growing religious centralization and sociopolitical control.

“Names are more than just labels; they are cultural artifacts,” said Sober. “By analyzing naming diversity the way ecologists measure species diversity, we can detect patterns of identity, openness, and change that might otherwise be invisible in the archaeological record.”

Researchers built their database by examining over 1,000 personal names preserved on various archaeological materials; seals, stone, ostraca, storage jars, and more. The same statistical tools used to measure biodiversity gave further insight into the variety of names as well as their distribution among the population at the time.
