In both cases the Prosecutor's office left with recordings of those incidents, effectively removing the decision to prosecute or not from the owners and leaving the decision solely in the hands of authorities.  Full story at faa

- From Yated Neeman editorial 

"We see evil battling good in the Holy Land and we see the Jews trying to defeat the forces of evil. We saw devastating tragedy on the holy day of Shabbos and Simchas Torah. So many killed, so many hurt, so many held by savages. And people wonder why. We see others giving their lives to fight the evil. And we see the world seek to block Israel from achieving victory over the evildoers. We see an American president and secretary of state seeking to pull defeat from the jaws of victory as they unite Arab countries and lobby Israeli politicians to break apart the coalition, dump the democratically elected Netanyahu, and establish a Palestinian state, which would be an existential threat to the Jews of Eretz Yisroel.

They plant articles in the media blaming Israel as the obstacle to peace and the threat to stability in the Middle East, while they push the long debunked so-called two-state solution. The talking points take hold and people here and in Israel buy into the message that Netanyahu is done and should go.

Moreover, Amaleik is the voice that pushes for compromise on matters of halacha, telling people that they don’t have to be so stringent in the observance of mitzvos. The modern-day adaptation of Amaleik’s credo of “asher korcha baderech” tells people to take it easy and not spend so much time learning or fretting about matzos and other mitzvos. It tells people to complain about the cost of matzos, as they overspend on their cars, clothes and vacations.

  3. Why would an intelligent person feel the need to reprint a yachted editorial?
    A 2 stage solution might be bunk but what game plan is he presenting?
    No one thought that a gaza invasion would have any effect, forget about a positive effect, According to any metric hamas is still alive and kicking.
    How about presenting something which just might work ?
    And what does yated do besides planting right-wing Mizrahi eretz Yisrael hashlaima Ideas cloaked in daas torah?

    1. You are misunderstanding the Yated.

      It is not a 'right-wing Mizrahi eretz Yisrael hashlaima Ideas cloaked in daas torah' paper. It is a Republican paper. Every Goyishe idea placed forward by the shiker gluttons that inhabit the Republican party is considered Daas Torah. If they are rightwing about Israel, so is the Yated. The amount of goyishkeit they push through is nauseating. Other newspapers and magazines have problems too, but none are like them. None sell their political positions as Torah, and none take such an extreme party line like the Yated.

      I personally don't allow it into my house. I prefer the FJJ to them.

    2. Here we go again, Mr.Democrat.

    4. How is it ok for people to talk about the Moetzes with such zilzul?

      If other Gedolei Yisroel disagree, it is fine to follow them. But how is the zilzul ok? And in this case, nobody of stature even disagreed.

    5. Yated is the only one that identifies with the yeshivish litvish community, Mishpacha and Ami don't belong in your home

    6. an opinion or an argument?"nobody of stature disagreed" is what you've been led to believe
      R' A Feldman admitted on the phone that he wasn't informed of the facts about that person

    7. "How is it okay"because we were involved in these things way before they showed up.Some people here weren't born yesterday. And if anything influenced them into what they became before they decided to turn their backs on us

    8. So who is the person of stature who disagreed with the Moetzes? I haven't seen a name yet. Only that someone heard on the phone that someone wasn't informed about something. No disagreement yet.

      Delete
    9. R'Simcha Bunim Cohen also agreed they were deliberately misinformed re: Mr. Schnall. How is that for their credentials in the field?

      Delete
    10. So still nobody disagreeing with their recommendation to vote for Schnall.

      FYI, I didn't vote for him. But the zilzul in the Moetzes here is unacceptable. People seem to have this republican belief that is more important than anything in their lives. Would these people divorce their wives, or demand a divorce from their husbands, if they found out that their political views weren't republican? Or is it just being mezalzel in Talmidei Chachamim that is in the line?

  6. [ the Israeli Judge, former Supreme Court President Aharon Barak, voted yes on two ICJ decisions: Israel’s duty to investigate the calls for genocide in Gaza, and Israel’s duty to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza. It didn’t even occur to the exulted judge that speech about what should be done with the Hamas murderers and their non-combatant collaborators was not the same as carrying out genocide.] & who sent that traitor to begin with?
    https://www.ynetnews.com/article/sytmqorf6

    If they would have some internal values,ignore the ICJ.Who are they? Unless Israel,that is,wishes backhanded to buttress them typically in spite of pc pretenses since their raison d'etre remains for us to bend our knee to secular globalism

  7. When you might be free but not quite independent even after 70 years.... When you don't produce in- country 99 % of what is needed to fight, From boots to ammunition to tires and engine oil..... And nor can you afford it, and need USA to supply and fund your war, And even do some rear guard action in the red sea so that way the houthies can't Close off the shipping to Israel which would be a death knell. It gets a little bit hard to dance to your own tune....... Sadly they are beholden to United States and many more countries... Reality is Israel on its own is weak!

    1. If so, though dubious,independence was always going remain a socio-political facade. Should've stayed within the broader Commonwealth.
      As was fairly obvious to some even back then, the arabs & most of the rest of the planet would've been content with such an entity..But they forced independence,in order to grab control of the jewish diaspora. Which they still drive the ship.

    2. Thinkin that life was so pleasent in Eretz Yisroel under the British Mandate is serious revisionist history. And thinking that anti-semitism and the murder of Jews would go away if there was no state of Israel is exactly what the Zionists thought. Only they thought so in reverse based on what their situation with no state of Israel was. In essence however it is the same belief.

    3. Under the British mandate was a walk in the park compared to what the Jews had to put up with in Europe on a good day

    4. Going to sleep after not having eaten anything all day because of lack of food was no walk in the park by any standard. Catching a pigeon that flew into a shul and sharing it with your whole family who is thrilled at your major mazal is no walk of a park lifestyle. Of note, I heard I heard the above descriptions of life back then from a member of the (old time) Netury Karta. Even he felt that the reason so many of his classmates in Etz Chaim joined Mizrachi and worse was because of how bad and hopeless conditions under the British mandate were . Despite being someone who probably fasted on Hey Iyar he acknowledged to me that the claim that when the state of Israel was formed there was widespread celebration in Meah Shearim is true. Primarily because people were happy to see the British go. It wasn't Zionist sentiment per se.(according to him)

    5. It was a general poverty nothing to do with the government per se. The Arabs were even poorer than that. How about people living in basements with a open sewer running through their living space. I'll take catching pigeons any day.

    6. Kool Aid you're receivin'.
      There were alot of problems remaining from the era of the Turks, but Yerushalayim & the Land in general were transformed under the Mandate with little appreciation.
      The old yishuv were naive & in bad shape. They were also sadly pathetic when it came to raising the next generation then. How so? While under the domination of enticing propaganda (even then) they received barely any funds because the WZO & sister orgs. blocked everything
      with little appreciation.
      Proof:Herut dropped in the second election for knesset & stayed low for most of the rest of the decade. Because they were held most responsible for 'kicking out the british'.

    7. The righteous Dr. Wallach founder of Shaare Tzedek, had walk around with a bodyguard (they now make him ironically retroactive a zionist pioneer) since he was considered too pro the Mandate

    8. Here is another story about life under the wonderful British Mandate. Meah Shearim with the most of the rest of Yeruslayim was under curfew. An old man woke up in the middle of the night and left his house to use the outhouse in his courtyard. Even though he had his hands in the air a British soldier shot him dead. The person who told this to me was the Neturey Karta member mentioned above. He of course blamed the Zionists and said if they weren’t so hostile to the British, the British would not have been so trigger happy. But just imagine if the exact same story would have happened ten years later when the Zionists were in control. No one, let alone Neturey Karta members, would be saying “it is all of the fault of those who live in Meah Shearim because they always act so hostile and confrontational to the police”

    9. Combined with zionists there was incessant undermining anti-Mandate & Commoweal propanganda blowing in from the Soviet Union & disruptively pushed by mounds of internal (almost always unzereh) communists & radicals. The brits would react to the situation unpleasantly as could be expected, a prompt cause for further propaganda.Thus foisting an unhealthy unfortunate cycle.

    10. There was never any chance of Eretz Yisroel remaining under British rule. The Mandate for Palestine was never a British possession, but a trusteeship that the British Empire was supposed to hold while preparing the indigenous people for independence. Even putting the Zionists aside the Arabs never would have accepted annexation to Britain either. Had the British offered citizenship to those living in Palestine you probably would have had more Jews who considered themselves to be Zionists than Arabs willing to accept.

    11. Sorry, research the subject.
      It wasn't supposed to be forever. Correct.But 'temporary' should have been benign several generations of positive nursing to eventual something mutual...eg near independent commonwealth connection


      iirc Most Arabs of various mandates were quite satisfied originally with the arrangement.Probably would have lasted except for the arriving influx of competing isms.
      Would have disturbances occurred? Sure. It's in arab nature, but capable of being massaged without the bearing the troubles of the past century just as contently as elsewhere in the world..

    12. The arabs virtually worshipped T.E. Lawrence of Arabia
      Hoped you might have been capable of dismissing the bait & switch retroactive anachronistic albeit near universal revisionism of conflicting claims of Arab nationalism which was practically non existent
