IDF Disciplines Soldiers for Singing Hanukkah Songs thru Jenin Mosque Loudspeaker !

I wish to address the unusual footage published today from the Jenin mosque. IDF soldiers are required to act professionally in accordance with the spirit of the IDF and its values. This is how the overwhelming majority of soldiers act; we will not compromise the IDF’s conduct. Anyone who does not conduct themselves according to IDF values will face corresponding measures.

The History of the Status Quo

In 1878, the Status Quo was internationally recognized in the Treaty of Berlin, which was signed between European powers and the Ottoman Empire following the conclusion of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. Article 62 of the treaty stated that: “It is well understood that no alteration can be made to the status quo in the holy places.” Article 62 of the Berlin Treaty extended the Status Quo to include all holy places and not only Christian sites

Tel Aviv, one of the most Anti-Semitic cities in the world?

Chairman of the Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee, MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism), commented, "The events in Tel Aviv had potential for the judicial system to demonstrate that they are protecting society against governmental tyranny, discrimination and arbitrariness. Instead, we are evident that there is no connection between a court with infinite power, unparalleled in the world, and the protection of rights, or of the Jewish and democratic State of Israel."

Temple Institute Rabbi: 'Jews came from all of Israel to blow the shofar on Shabbat !

Rabbi Israel Ariel, head of the Temple Institute, tells in a conversation with Israel National News about the unusual situation of blowing a shofar at the Temple Institute on Rosh Hashanah, which fell on Shabbat.

"There was great interest in participating in the observance of the mitzvah of blowing the shofar on Shabbat. Families came from all over the country: from Tzfat, Bat Yam, Efrat, and also from the neighborhoods in Jerusalem. They also walked long distances to the Temple Institute to be part of the blowing of the shofar," says Rabbi Ariel.

Guards search Women of the Wall, find Torah scroll!

Justice of the Peace in Jerusalem Karen Miller stated that, "there will be no inspection of any kind, including a physical or manual search of bags, the purpose of which is to locate a Torah scroll and prevent its entry into the Western Wall."

The Women of the Western Wall were astonished to see that the security guards searched the equipment of the organization's women. According to them, placing bouncers alongside the security guards, who participated in the security inspection procedure, also constitutes a blatant violation of the provisions of the ruling and an excess of authority.

"We will return to court so that we can have our say on the blatant violations of the ruling, which is actually a compromise settlement agreed to by the Wall Heritage Foundation," said Women of the Wall in a statement.

Jerusalem Shiekh: There is no proof the Temples ever existed!

Sheikh Ikhrama Sabri, the head of the Supreme Islamic Council in Jerusalem, attacked what he called the intentions of "extremist settlers" to slaughter and burn the ashes of the 'Red Heifer' on the Temple Mount.

Under Jewish law (halakha), the only way to remove the ritual impurity that comes from contact with or being in proximity to the dead such as by entering a cemetery is through a ritual that includes sprinkling the ashes of a completely red heifer on the person with the impurity.

The former residents of Kfar Darom see a unique significance in the destroyed town's synagogue

The synagogue in the original town in the Gaza Strip was inaugurated on Israel's 57th Independence Day, only three months before the disengagement. "The synagogue in Kfar Darom served as much more than a house of prayer," says the invitation, "It was the beating heart of the community. It was the center of life, and the residents got culture, social life, and inner strength from it. It is no surprise that the synagogue in Kfar Darom became a symbol in the eyes of the whole of society. There we fought, out of great love for Israel, out of pure faith in the ruler of the world, and out of endless dedication to the land of Isreal."

A watchdog organization on Sunday released undercover hidden camera footage showing senior Palestinian Authority officials referring families of terrorists who murdered Jews to HaMoked, an Israeli organization, for legal assistance.

The undercover footage was released by the group Ad Kan, which works to expose far-left organizations which work against the IDF and the State of Israel.

HaMoked’s budget is based primarily on funding from European governments and the New Israel Fund.

Dozens of Arab terrorists rioted for hours on Monday night on the main road leading through the town of Huwara in Samaria, the setting for three shooting attacks in the past few months, one of which was fatal in the cases of Hallel and Yagel Yaniv Hy"d.

Multiple Jewish-owned cars driving through Huwara in order to access their homes were targeted by Arabs throwing rocks. One driver, Yaakov, is a volunteer with United Hatzalah who lives in the area and was making his way to the Tapuah Junction when he found himself under attack. Dozens of rioters surrounded his vehicle and began to hurl rocks at the car. One hit the windshield, which shattered.

More than Four in Ten U.S. Jews Say they Felt Less Safe than Last Year

More than Four in Ten U.S. Jews Say they Felt Less Safe than Last Year

Last year saw several high profile cases of antisemitism, including a hostage-taking at a Texas synagogue and anti-Jewish hatred shared by celebrities, chief among them rapper Kanye West. Former President Donald Trump dined with two openly antisemitic guests, drawing criticism from his own Jewish supporters.

Eighty-five percent of American Jews, ages 18-29, have experienced antisemitism online. More than a quarter of those – 26 percent – said they feel physically threatened by these incidents.

Four in five Jews said in the 2022 survey that antisemitism has grown in the past five years; nearly half said it’s taken less seriously than other forms of bigotry or hate.

"I am determined to launch 'Operation Defensive Sheild 2' in Jerusalem. To those officials who are speaking against me: the police have the authority to demolish illegal houses, arrest over 150 suspected terrorists, raid houses, stop the incitement in the mosques, detain those who owe taxes, and more. The security cabinet is important, and I will request additional things there, but governance is crucially important, and I will make sure it stays that way," Ben-Gvir wrote on social media.

United Nations Adopts Resolution Calling Israel’s Founding a ‘Catastrophe’

The UN General Assembly this week passed a resolution to characterize the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948 as a “catastrophe,” in what has been heralded as a major victory for pro-Palestinian activists.

The word “Nakba,” which means catastrophe or disaster in Arabic, was also a term coined by the Palestinians to commemorate the Jewish state’s founding.

Otzma Yehudit says go to the terrorist beds and strike them!

Wednesday called for Israel to move from defense to offense, following the double bombings in Jerusalem which left one person dead and 18 more injured.

Speaking with Israel National News - Arutz Sheva, Almog said that the terror attack was "well-planned by a cell which knew what it was doing. It was planned long before the first of the month," he added, hinting that the attacks have nothing to do with the results of the elections, or with the incoming government.

According to Cohen, "Offense is starting to use very harsh punishment - whether it is collective punishment for the entire village from which the terrorist comes, returning to the period of targeted eliminations, so that they will be afraid to enter their vehicles, and mostly a change in perspective, of moving from defense to offense. In defense, we can only make a mistake once, but we are always making mistakes and paying a heavy price. It's time to approach their beds and spill as much of the terrorists' blood as possible."

US Jewish leaders fret over results of Israel's election

One person who did speak freely during the panel was Dani Duek, a student at Tel Aviv University who was at the conference because of her role on Hillel International’s student cabinet. Duek rose to ask a question and quickly had the spotlight turn to her.

She said she was distressed by the idea of seeing Ben-Gvir in government but understood why so many others were not. “People like the idea of this simple easy answer, more than thinking Ben-Gvir is someone I would sit down for a beer with,” she said.

Presented after the panel with some of the scenarios that American Jewish leaders are hoping for, Duek said she was not optimistic that any would come to pass. She knows an array of young people voting for Ben-Gvir, including friends from growing up in Kfar Saba and her university classmates.

“I’m not as confident,” she said. “If I let my thoughts go where they want I would cry.”

Election Poll Puts Netanyahu Bloc With 62-seat Majority

The most recent election poll saw Netanyahu's bloc earning 62 seats, just shy of a majority coalition needed to lead the government, with the help of the newly formed ticket of the Zionist Spirit. Thursday's poll, by contrast, puts him as leading a majority in the upcoming Knesset, despite the Zionist Spirit's nose-dive below the threshold.

Closing the gap left By Shaked and Hendel are Religious Zionism and United Torah Judaism which gained a seat each.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the political rainbow, Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid fell by three whole seats and Gideon Sa'ar and Benny Gantz's joint list also lost a seat. The current governing coalition's losses were partially offset by gains on the left, with the Labor earning two more seats.

Why is there a Looming Economic Recession?

Why is there a Looming Economic Recession?

The global economy is stuck in a rut that it won’t exit unless governments revolutionize policies and how they invest, rather than just hoping for a cyclical upswing, the OECD said.

The latest outlook and policy prescriptions from the Paris-based group mark a step beyond its repeated warnings about threats to growth from U.S.-China tensions, weak investment and trade flows. Those remain, but it also flags more systemic challenges from climate change, technology and the fact that the trade war is just part of a bigger shift in the global order.

Did Queen Elizabeth have a Jewish Problem?

Did Queen Elizabeth have a Jewish Problem?

Aish.com. painful omission by some British Jews.

In 2009, the British historian Andrew Roberts said that the “true reason of course is that the FO (Britain’s Foreign Office) has a ban on official royal visits to Israel, which is even more powerful for its being unwritten and unacknowledged. As an act of delegitimization of Israel, this boycott is quite as serious as other similar acts, such as the academic boycott, and is the direct fault of the FO Arabists. It is, therefore, no coincidence that although the queen has made over 250 official overseas visits to 129 different countries during her reign, neither she nor one single member of the British royal family has ever been to Israel on an official visit.”
