Mossad will Target Hamas Leaders Even in Qatar

 


"Trans Shooting Up America"

 


Israel isn’t getting enough credit for what just happened in Yemen.

 

On Thursday, Israel carried out a targeted airstrike in the capital city of Sanaa, eliminating the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Yemen’s Houthi government, as well as his entire cabinet. In a single strike, Israel liquidated the leadership of one of the world’s most heinous terrorist groups – something no other country in the world has ever done. This isn’t just a victory for Israel – it’s a victory for all of us. In addition to waging a violent insurgency against the Yemeni government for over a decade, the group has also targeted countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE with drone and missile attacks. They've killed multiple crew members of international shipping vessels, and they've repeatedly waged war against Israel, sending millions running for shelter, many, many times. Now, though, the group’s operational and strategic capabilities have been set back – and the message is clear: the reach of Israel is limitless. Indeed, since October 7th, the Jewish state has carried out the most impressive and successful counterterrorism campaign in history – and they aren’t done yet. Another day, another mission, and another instance of Israel doing the world’s dirty work.

Remember When Cry'in Schumer Said on the Senate Floorin 1996 "The number one reason people come to the US illegally is to defraud systems like social security and I want to stop it."

 


Sen. Jon Ossoff Another Self-Loathing Jew

 

Votes by Sen. Jon Ossoff in support of resolutions calling for a halt of U.S. shipments of specific weapons to Israel met with overwhelming, but not universal, criticism from within Atlanta’s Jewish community.

Ossoff, a Jewish Democrat who has talked publicly about relatives living in Israel, voted Nov. 20 in favor of two of three resolutions advanced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont. Those resolutions called for a halt to U.S. delivery of tank rounds and mortar shells. Ossoff voted against a third resolution that called for a halt to delivery of guidance kits for joint direct attack munitions, known as JDAMS.

Sixteen Democratic senators, including Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, voted in favor of advancing all three resolutions, while another Democrat supported one of the three. Though the resolutions were defeated in the Senate by a large margin, their votes reflected divisions in the Democratic Party over Israel’s conduct of its war against Hamas in Gaza following the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist massacre of 1,200 people and the kidnapping of 250 more.

Ossoff’s votes likely will be an issue when he seeks re-election in 2026.
The first-term senator explained his votes in a Senate floor speech. “I remain steadfastly committed to the U.S.-Israel alliance, and I also believe we must be willing to say no, even to our closest friends, when we believe it is in America’s national interest,” Ossoff said in closing.

Frankfort & Melbourne Stooping to take Crap from Pro-Hamas Protestors

 


Watch the Pro-Hamas guy who tries to stop the burning of a Kaffiya , gets the crap beaten out of him!  

Mazal Tov Rabbi Leo Dee remarries Following tragedy:


 Rabbi Leo Dee, 53, on Sunday night wed Aliza Teplitsky, 43, in an emotional ceremony held in the town of Efrat.

During the chuppah (ceremony), Dee’s surviving daughters, Keren and Tali, delivered moving words about their late mother, Lucy, and expressed their heartfelt support for their father’s decision to remarry Aliza.

The ceremony was officiated by Efrat's Rabbi Shlomo Kimchi and Rabbi Yair Bienstock, with musical accompaniment by Rabbi Shlomo Katz. IDF Chief Cantor Shai Abramson also participated, dedicating a moving song to the couple.

Rabbi Dee’s wife Lucy and two of their daughters, Maia (20) and Rina (15), were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists in April 2023. Since then, Dee has become an internationally recognized figure of faith and resilience. He has authored three acclaimed books on faith, prayer, grief, and healing, following the success of his first book on contemporary Judaism, "Transforming the World: The Jewish Impact on Modernity."

Aliza Teplitsky, originally from Toronto, was active in Bnei Akiva and later served as director of programs for the movement in North America, based in New York. She immigrated to Israel in 2005, worked on the Jerusalem light rail project, designed exhibitions at the Israel Museum, and worked in tourism. Today, she manages a customer service team at a Tel Aviv hi-tech company.

Rabbi Dee and Aliza will continue to live in Efrat together with Dee’s three surviving children - Keren, Tali, and Yehuda.

Dozens of Haredim enlist in IDF

 

Dozens of young Haredi men arrived this morning (Monday) at the Tel Hashomer induction center, taking part in a special enlistment day designated for Haredi units in the IDF. The new recruits were assigned to combat service in the Netzach Yehuda Battalion of the Kfir Brigade, the Hashmonaim Brigade, the Negev Platoon, the Tomer Company in Givati, the Hetz Company in the Paratroopers, and the Border Police.

Several of the enlistees were graduates of the Netzach Yehuda pre-military academies, run by an association that supports young Haredi men with religious and social preparation ahead of meaningful service.

Yehoyada Cohen, who enlisted in the Hashmonaim Brigade, expressed, “This is our time. We are making progress in creating a spiritual framework adapted for Haredim. Many gave up what was most precious to them in order to enlist, and that inspired me to join as well. I hope the IDF will allow us to defend our country while safeguarding our Haredi way of life.”

His father, David Cohen, added, “Those who dedicate themselves to Torah study should continue on that path. But those who have completed it deserve to take part in this mitzvah. It is positive that the army has created frameworks that enable soldiers to serve while maintaining a Haredi lifestyle. As parents, we want to believe our sons will be kept within a system committed to preserving their values.”

David, 19, a graduate of the Nitzotz Ba’Emunah Haredi preparatory program who joined the Netzach Yehuda Battalion, remarked, “I have not been in yeshiva for the past two years, and I decided it was time to give my contribution. I am proud to become an IDF soldier and to devote myself to the people of Israel.”

Shomer Yisrael, the organization overseeing Haredi enlistment tracks in the IDF, stated, “We are proud of every recruit who chooses to integrate Torah observance with service to Israel’s security. They prove it is possible to be both a Haredi devoted to mitzvot and a combat soldier. We will continue to guide and support them during their service and after their discharge.”



150 News Outlets Across 50 Countries to Launch Coordinated Anti-Israel Push Today

 

A coalition of more than 150 media outlets across 50 countries is preparing a coordinated campaign accusing Israel of killing journalists and restricting press freedom, according to leaked plans circulated by pro-Israel advocates.

The campaign, slated for Today, Sept. 1, is reportedly led by international activist NGO Avaaz in partnership with Reporters Without Borders. Outlets are expected to publish black front pages under a unified slogan: “At the rate journalists are being killed in Gaza by the Israeli army, soon no one will keep you informed.” The campaign will also feature coordinated hashtags, including #ProtectJournalistsInGaza.

Organizers appear to have timed the effort ahead of upcoming UN votes on Palestinian statehood and aligned it symbolically with the anniversary of Germany’s invasion of Poland.

Pro-Israel groups argue the campaign is less journalism than public relations warfare. Many individuals described as journalists in Gaza were affiliated with Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, with several filming the Oct. 7 attacks while wearing press vests. They also point to standard press restrictions in other warzones, including Mosul and Fallujah, and note that foreign reporters have been escorted into Gaza by Israel.

Finally!! Military Police Deployed To Jerusalem, Beitar Illit, & Elad To Arrest Draft-Dodgers

 

As thousands of Brelover chassidim prepare to travel to Uman, the IDF is planning to step up enforcement against Chareidi draft-dodgers.

The enforcement will not only take place at Ben Gurion Airport but also at various crossing and in Chareidi areas.

Channel 12 News reported that in recent days, military police have been stationed in areas where a high concentration of Chareidi travelers is expected, including Elad, Beitar Illit, and the Jerusalem area.

The police officers will conduct proactive inspections to locate deserters trying to leave the country at air, land, and sea crossings.

Rabbi Yosef Blau's Pathetic Response to his Critics

 

!כל המרחם על האכזרים סופו שמתאכזר על הרחמנים

Rabbi Blau made a few serious factual errors. First, the vast majority of Gazans and PA Arabs, inculcated in a terrorist, Islamist, destructive, and annihilating strategy and tactics, and suffering from indistinct roots and therefore insecure, cheered and still cheer Oct.7.

The settler violence and seizures are a concoction of the American and European Left, who have sponsored thousands of episodes of baiting of Jeeish shepherds, followed by flipping on cameras to catch their self-defensive responses.
It is the PA which has confiscated thousands of dunams of Area C land. Look how narrow E1 is now, eg.
Thirdly, a smart person does not provide fodder for pyromaniacs. He is not emotionally intelligent.

For 48 years, until he moved to Israel earlier this year, Rabbi Yosef Blau was the “mashgiach ruchani” at Yeshiva University, a revered figure who served as a sort of spiritual guidance counselor to students at Modern Orthodoxy’s flagship seminary. 

In that role, he said this week in an interview, his job was to be “available to help students on issues that bother them, rather than issues that bother me.”

Earlier this month, he told the world what was bothering him, and the world took notice. Blau, 86, is the author of “A Call for Moral Clarity, Responsibility, and a Jewish Orthodox Response in the Face of the Gaza Humanitarian Crisis,” an open letter signed by 80 Orthodox rabbis. The letter forthrightly condemned Hamas, but took the Israeli government to task for its halting response to what most of the world sees as a hunger crisis in Gaza.

“Hamas’s sins and crimes do not relieve the government of Israel of its obligations to make whatever efforts are necessary to prevent mass starvation,” the letter reads. 

The letter also decried extremist voices in Israel, the hardening of sentiments about Palestinians, and the explosion of settler violence in the West Bank. But unlike the growing number of similar statements released by non-Orthodox denominations and other Jewish groups, the letter was written by and for an audience of Modern Orthodox Jews, on balance the staunchest defenders of Israel among the major Jewish movements. 

“This moment demands a different voice — one grounded in our deepest Jewish values and informed by our traumatic history of being victims of persecution,” the letter reads. “Orthodox Jewry, as some of Israel’s most devoted supporters, bears a unique moral responsibility.”

The media treated the letter as a tipping point in the internal Jewish dismay over the war in Gaza — Blau said he was “stunned” that the New York Times wrote about it. The letter also sparked a passionate, often angry debate among Blau’s fellow Orthodox Jews, especially those who tend to identify with the “religious Zionist” camp that weds religious piety with a deeply nationalist view of Israel. 

While the letter was cheered by groups like Smol Emuni US, which represents Orthodox and otherwise observant liberal Zionists, and by individual Orthodox and non-Orthodox Zionists who have been critical of the Israeli government, the critics have been vocal. They accused the author and the signers of representing a fringe within Orthodoxy, aping the criticism of NGOs and governments hostile to Israel, and providing aid, comfort and talking points to Israel’s enemies. 

This week Blau was back in his office at Y.U.’s Upper Manhattan campus, where he still has a volunteer role counseling students when he is not at his new home in Jerusalem. In a conversation with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Wednesday, he responded to his critics, explained why he wrote the letter and talked about his lifetime attachment to religious Zionism and where he thinks it has gone wrong.

Raised in Borough Park, Brooklyn, in a non-Hasidic Orthodox family, Blau attended the Yeshiva University High School for Boys when it was located in Brooklyn. He received his bachelor’s degree from Yeshiva College and his rabbinic ordination from its Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. In 1977, he was appointed Mashgiach Ruchani by Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, perhaps the most important Modern Orthodox figure of his era, and Rabbi Norman Lamm, Y.U.’s longtime president. 

From 2005 to 2017, Blau served as president of the Religious Zionists of America.

The conversation was edited for length and clarity.

Leaked Iranian documents show that Iranians are begging Trump to Negotiate but Trump Not Returning Their Calls



Iran International says leaked Foreign Ministry discussions reveal senior Iranian officials complaining that the U.S. has ignored repeated Iranian requests to negotiate—including 15 messages the Trump team allegedly didn’t answer.

The claim collides with Tehran’s public posture: 
Khamenei recently ruled out direct talks; Iran’s own foreign minister bragged that Tehran rejected a U.S. request to open negotiations; and officials told mediators they wouldn’t discuss a ceasefire while under Israeli attack. 

Iranian media also pushed the line that they never asked to relaunch talks.



 

Iran on the brink of Collapse?

 

The winds of change could soon blow on Iran, according to a new report.

The Islamic Republic is facing collapse, indicates the report, issued by UK-based Henry Jackson Society this week, as the UN accuses Tehran of executing nearly 900 people already this year “as a tool of intimidation.”

If the Islamic Republic falls, “there is a danger that regime collapse could lead to a vacuum of governance that is accompanied by civil war,” according to the findings.

“This is an outcome that must be avoided at all costs for the Iranian people, and every step must therefore be made to ensure that any transition is quick and painless,” it added.

The current Iranian regime “remains wedded to the Iranian revolution,” according to the report.

It added that the Ayatollah’s regime is committed to “reconstituting its nuclear program and exporting terrorism both regionally and internationally, makes it an ongoing danger to the West.”

Targeted attacks launched by Israel with the US in June on Iranian nuclear sites “set back the regime,” the report said, but “it has not eliminated the strategic and security threats posed by the regime.”

It appears to support the Iranian opposition instead, as it is “culturally liberal and yearns for freedom,” but concedes the Islamic Republic’s “ability to coopt and quell the opposition creates for itself greater risk as cultural opposition and economic discontent inform one another.”

“This offers a greater prospect of galvanizing the Iranian opposition if there is a plan for the day after as opposed to a vacuum of governance,” the report added. “And in so doing, it contains the best prescription for both resolving the threat the Iranian regime poses to the international community, and to its own people.”



Jerusalem light rail resumes regular operations

 


Jerusalem's light rail will resume regular operations on Sunday, running between Neve Yaakov in northern Jerusalem to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in southern Jerusalem.

Since May, light rail service in Jerusalem has been disrupted by construction work aiming to connect the future "Green Line" of the train to the existing "Red Line." The construction is considered one of the most complex engineering operations of its kind in Israel.

The work was carried out at six locations in central Jerusalem and included infrastructure connections, track installation, electrical and control systems, and the construction of a new “island” station. The operation was completed on schedule, even during Operation Rising Lion, and received the necessary safety certification from the Transportation Ministry for the line’s operation.

In the coming days, the Neve Yaakov depot is also expected to open, enhancing the operational flexibility of the light rail and improving service availability for passengers. Additionally, starting Tuesday, September 2, 2025, shuttle lines 500-503 will be discontinued, and bus routes in southwestern Jerusalem will return to their original routes, except for line 27, which will continue to run to the Central Station.

Haturim Station, which is still undergoing infrastructure and safety system work, will remain closed in the coming weeks, with its opening date to be announced later. Further development along the Red Line corridor will continue at night only, without disrupting regular service.

Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion said, “The return of the Red Line to full operation is significant news for the residents of Jerusalem. We successfully completed a complex task while remaining on schedule, restoring essential light rail service to tens of thousands of passengers. This is a significant step on the path towards an outstanding transportation revolution, at the end of which Jerusalem will become the first city in Israel with a modern, comfortable, light rail network connecting all parts of the city.”


In Gaza Only the military option remains on the table

 


The Israeli Security Cabinet will convene on Sunday evening to approve the military plan to take control of Gaza City.

A diplomatic source cited by Ma’ariv emphasized ahead of the meeting that “at this stage, only the military maneuver is on the table; previous frameworks for a hostage deal or ceasefire are no longer relevant.”

The source added that if a deal is reached, it would include all hostages, both the living and the deceased.

According to the source, at this point, “there is no indication that Hamas is willing to discuss conditions for ending the war,” and therefore no preparations are being made for possible negotiations or the formation of an Israeli team.


IDF Airstrike Kills Senior Hamas Figure; Target Believed To Be Infamous Spokesman Abu Obaida


 The IDF and Shin Bet announced on Motzei Shabbos that a key Hamas official was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on Shabbos.

Israeli media reported that it is believed the strike targeted Hamas spokesperson Abu Obaida, who has been targeted in several previous strikes.

According to a senior Israeli official, if Abu Obaida was at the site that was hit, “there’s no chance he survived the elimination attempt this time.”

The strike hit the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City.

The IDF said it took “numerous steps to minimize civilian casualties, including the use of precision-guided munitions, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence.”

CANCELLED: Ukraine Says Rosh Hoshana At Tziyun Of Rebbe Nachman In Uman Is Banned This Year Due To War

 

With preparations for Rosh Hashanah intensifying, Ukrainian officials are now saying that the annual pilgrimage to the kever of Rav Nachman of Breslov in Uman will not be permitted this year due to the ongoing war with Russia.

Ukrainian officials informed news outlets that the ban is rooted in severe security concerns, as the Russian invasion continues to rage across the country. Since February 2022, a blanket prohibition has been in place on large public gatherings. Despite that warning, in past years tens of thousands of mispallelim still traveled, most entering Ukraine through Moldova and continuing on to Uman to daven by Rebbe Nachman’s tziyun.

This year, Ukrainian authorities have decided not to allow the trip at all, citing the heightened risks posed by ongoing missile strikes and instability in the region.

Reports indicate that Kyiv has grown frustrated with Israel’s limited role in supporting Ukraine during the war. Ukrainian officials have demanded that Israel provide both financial aid and an official police presence in Uman to secure the massive crowd, should the pilgrimage go ahead.

Meanwhile, Moldova — the key gateway for most travelers — has issued its own list of conditions. Among them: Israel must cover the cost of a temporary terminal for charter flights, estimated at eight million shekels, fund police escorts for the convoys, and supply additional security equipment. Without this funding, Moldovan officials say they will not allow the traffic of tens of thousands of Yidden through their airports and roads.

According to reports, Israel has been given until September 3 to transfer the funds demanded by the Moldovan government. If not, even if Ukraine were to reconsider, the route to Rosh Hashana in Uman would remain blocked.

A senior Ukrainian official told reporter Barak Ravid that “at this stage, the arrival of visitors to Uman will not be possible this year due to security considerations related to the ongoing war with Russia.”

The report comes a day after Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara sent a letter ordering the government to enforce arrests against Breslover “draft-dodgers” who attempt to leave the country to travel to Uman, claiming that it is “illegal” for the government to formulate any plan to interfere with the enforcement of arrests.

Yisrael Porush Trying Hard to Remain Relevant Says "“No One Will Fly”: Threatens Mass Protest at Ben Gurion After AG Blocks Uman Travel Plan for Draft-Age Yeshivaleit

 

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Friday struck down a government initiative that would have allowed bochurim and yungeleit who did not serve in the army to travel freely to Uman for Rosh Hashanah without fear of arrest at airports or border crossings.

In a sharply worded ruling, Baharav-Miara declared that the arrangement was “contrary to the law” and undermined what she called the state’s obligation to enforce the draft equally. She insisted that the government and its ministers “have no authority” to instruct security agencies to look the other way.

Her announcement sparked fierce criticism from chareidi leaders and askanim. One senior political figure accused the attorney general of “seeking to sow division and chaos.” Rabbi Natan Ben Nun, head of Ichud Breslov in Uman, said the decision unfairly tramples on the religious obligations of those who travel to the kever of Rav Nachman of Breslov for Rosh Hashanah. “We hope a solution is found quickly so that talmidei hayeshivos can travel without fear,” he said.

The plan, championed by Shas leader Aryeh Deri, had been linked to a funding package of 10 million shekels from several ministries to bolster infrastructure and security in Moldova, the transit point for most travelers to Uman. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu personally raised the matter with the Moldovan prime minister, officials said.

But opposition figures pounced. Yair Lapid urged Baharav-Miara to block the plan, calling it “illegal,” and warned he would petition the High Court if the government attempted to move forward. Secular advocacy groups also demanded its cancellation.

On the chareidi side, fears of mass arrests have fueled talk of protests. Former Elad mayor Yisrael Porush, head of the advocacy group Magen U’Moshia, warned that if talmidei hayeshivos are barred from flying, “no one will fly.” He said as many as 20,000 could gather at Ben Gurion Airport if the government does not find a solution. Transportation officials condemned the comments as “dangerous rhetoric.”

Even within the coalition, not all ministers support the plan. Immigration Minister Ofir Sofer of the Religious Zionist Party said he was troubled that the government was prioritizing funding for travel to Uman “in complete detachment from the difficult situation the nation is facing.”

For now, with Rosh Hashanah just weeks away, the fate of thousands of Breslov chassidim hoping to spend Yom Tov in Uman remains in limbo — caught between legal rulings, political fights, and their yearning to be mispallel at the tziyun of Rav Nachman.

Targeting Iran’s Leaders, Israel Found a Weak Link: Their Bodyguards

 

A banner in Tehran showing pictures of Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists killed by Israeli strikes. Israel used its technological and intelligence capabilities to track and target key figures in Iran during the 12-day war in June.

The meeting was so secret that only the attendees, a handful of top Iranian government officials and military commanders, knew the time and location.

It was June 16, the fourth day of Iran’s war with Israel, and Iran’s Supreme National Security Council gathered for an emergency meeting in a bunker 100 feet below a mountain slope in the western part of Tehran. For days, a relentless Israeli bombing campaign had destroyed military, government and nuclear sites around Iran, and had decimated the top echelon of Iran’s military commanders and nuclear scientists.

The officials, who included President Masoud Pezeshkian, the heads of the judiciary and the intelligence ministry and senior military commanders, arrived in separate cars. None of them carried mobile phones, knowing that Israeli intelligence could track them.

Despite all the precautions, Israeli jets dropped six bombs on top of the bunker soon after the meeting began, targeting the two entrance and exit doors. Remarkably, nobody in the bunker was killed. When the leaders later made their way out of the bunker, they found the bodies of a few guards, killed by the blasts.

The attack threw Iran’s intelligence apparatus into a tailspin, and soon enough Iranian officials discovered a devastating security lapse: The Israelis had been led to the meeting by hacking the phones of bodyguards who had accompanied the Iranian leaders to the site and waited outside.

Israel’s tracking of the guards has not been previously reported. It was one part of a larger effort to penetrate the most tightly guarded circles of Iran’s security and intelligence apparatus that has had officials in Tehran chasing shadows for two months.

Warning - sensitive content... Netanyahu Releases Never Released Video of Oct 7

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara, last night (Thursday, 28 August 2025), met with Sabine Taasa, who lost her husband and son in the 7 October massacre.

Taasa updated Mrs. Netanyahu on the status of her children, who were at home and were also wounded, and on the rehabilitation process that she and her children are undergoing.

As part of the global public diplomacy effort, a joint statement by the Prime Minister and Sabine Taasa is being distributed abroad today, in which a section of the atrocities video, that is very difficult to watch, and which was filmed by the security cameras in the Taasa family home in the moshav of Netiv Ha'asara, will be shown.
