Maher and the 4th Armored Division are well known across Syria for their Brutal Crackdown against Anti-Government Demonstrations in 2011, specifically in the City of Daraa where his Forces led a Slaughter against Hundreds if not Thousands of Civilians; they are also known for their Close Ties to Iran and Iranian-Backed Forces operating in Western Syria and Lebanon.

- IDF attacks Yemen: In a large-scale air operation today, dozens of IAF aircraft, including fighter jets, refueling, and intelligence planes, attacked targets used by the Houthi terrorist regime in the areas of Ras Issa and Al Hudaydah in Yemen. The aircraft attacked power plants and a seaport, which are used to import oil. They also attacked infrastructure at the port that the Houthi regime uses to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, supplies for military needs, and oil.
- Israeli official: "The purpose of the attack in Yemen is to collect a heavy price for their [the Houthis] attacks. If they continue to attack Israel - the attacks will increase. The damage caused to the Houthis is enormous, and it will take them a long time to repair it."
- The body of the Hezbollah leader was removed from the rubble in Dahiya intact.

ReplyDeleteGrow up. Move on.
ReplyDeleteI was reviewing some of the old posts and came across how bitter you have become. I appreciate your efforts on our behalf but I think at this point you are just causing more damage than help.
What damage?
ReplyDeleteThe Amish prevailed in court on the grounds of how few Amish - if any - were receiving government assistance and that their community is completely self sustaining without high school education. Lakewood mesivtas would have a lot harder time making such an argument in court. To put it nicely
ReplyDeleteRight. Not only that, but our people engage in commerce with the rest of society. In Yoder they had their own discrete way of life. Still, if it becomes necessary, ch'v, it's worth the try.
ReplyDeleteRight. I was helping in NY and I realized that problem with Yoder but some misivtas don’t take federal funds. Anyway, very good point.
ReplyDeleteYoder is not a government funding case.
DeleteIt's school attendance case.
What government funding is available to K-12 yeshivot?
Right again. But I am not sure that self sufficiency is necessary. I think we would lose in court because we take part in commerce.
ReplyDelete"When, therefore, one devotes his property to a use in which the public has an interest, he, in effect, grants to the public an interest in that use, and must submit to be controlled by the public for the common good, to the extent of the interest he has thus created." Munn v. Illinois, 94 U.S. 113 (1876). Kind of like in rishonim (Rashba) that the malchus regulates the market.
BTW Hence, in NY the best chance is in the legislature. The governor has no control over the Department of Education. It is independent and actually older than the state.
