- WZO: Reform slate calls to disqualify cheating slates from joining.
"Any slate found to have perpetrated or potentially benefited from this fraud must be disqualified. They have no place in the Parliament of the Jewish People."
Post-Election Statement – ARZA:
It is now clear that the more than 10,000 fraudulent votes, which are public knowledge, might only be the tip of the iceberg. The evidence is overwhelming: slates attempting to manipulate the election used prepaid debit cards, unverifiable phone numbers, identical addresses, and additional unethical tactics. This is not just misconduct. It is corruption.
The American Zionist Movement must not allow this attempt to tamper with this election to succeed. These acts were an intentional, organized effort designed to distort representation, divert communal funds, and subvert the very ideals on which the Zionist movement was built. We say to the AZM and those responsible for the appeals process: do not whitewash their actions with a slap on the wrist.
it goes without saying that any fraudulent votes should be thrown out. But that alone is not enough. Any slate found to have perpetrated or potentially benefited from this fraud must be disqualified. They have no place in the Parliament of the Jewish People.

ReplyDeleteHow many cars park in the commuter lot on Swarthmore? Zero.
Imagine if the 100million the yeshivos in EY could come from the heaps and piles of money in WZO and be used for Torah rather than be squandered on the "arts" and other liberal agendas.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a fool, the wzo would shut itself down before allowing themselves to be taken over by frum. Keep on having fantasy dreams like a little child. And they lived happily ever after.............
Delete9:56 - Except that 8:59 isn't a fool. Is he WZO would shut down, that also would be a HUUUGE brocha
DeleteJust imagine stealing the money and giving it to yeshivas just imagine having klal yisroel be oiver issurim so we can go give money to yeshivas. This was already addressed by the chofetz Chaim who said better more than half yeshivis close down than to join the wzo
Delete10:43
DeleteIt would not be a bracaha at all rather a broch to the Eretz Hakodesh office who are making big fat salaries from their political connections children of Degel and shas MK'S who are pushing the campaign as the money flows..
It's all about the MONEY
11:04 Just imagine if there was as much passion about mosdos and yechidim only getting money through glat yosher as there was about not voting in the WZO elections. V'Dai L'Maven
DeleteIf the WZO closes down, how would we get the 'free kanna'us' that it provided us? We can live in nice houses and build buildings, and be kanna'im on the Israelis' cheshbon. No WZO means we need to fix ourselves up to be kanna'im.
DeleteAnon 12:29
DeleteYou’re right the difference is no one has ever said “it’s a mitzvah to steal” “we must steal “ “we don’t want to steal but we have no choice “ “rav Chaim said to steal” “my uncle rav shmuel said to steal” “only kanaim say not to steal” “its eitzniks who say not to steal” and the list goes on and on and as rav dov Landau explained this Avodah Zara so take the stealing mashal and x it by 1000
Avodah Zarah? What are you talking about?
DeleteAs Reb Shmuel said, no one is becoming a Zionist because they voted for EH
DeleteAnon 2:19 he’s referring to the topic on hand which is Zionism
DeleteZionism is Avodah zarah
2:54
DeleteObviously Reb shmuel didn’t say that in the letter that he wrote to rav Chaim (the one where Rav Chaim never actually responded but the ehk lied and said he did) Reb shmuel expresses his concern of voting in the wzo
Zionism is avodah zarah?!?!? What are you guys smoking? Who teaches people foolishness like that?
Delete4:21 said "(the one where Rav Chaim never actually responded but the ehk lied and said he did)"
DeleteNo one is impressed with your lies and Motzi Shem Ra. Even Reb Shalom conceded that Reb Chaim's Chatzer/household claimed that Reb Chaim responded, this was NOT made up by EHK
Zionism is Avodah zarah
DeleteVoting Ltoeles Hatzibbur and having kavana that I'm not doing this Lshem Kabolas Zionism is not Avoda Zara
Anon 4:27 thank you for showing your true colors if you want to know what seems to you klal yisroel been smoking for the last 100+ years you may ask rav dov landau as he said Zionism is a”z
DeleteAnon 5:04 my apologies I must be living in a hole what wa seen Chaim’s response was it Kdai meod lehatzbia? O wait no that’s what ehk claimed 5 years ago now I think the version is lasos kna”l am I correct? I can believe he responded just let me know today what I should beleive
DeleteAnon 5:07 good svara I don’t think anyone said joining is an act of a”z it is hischabrus with reshaim though and add to it signing the jp clause whilst having in mind whatever you want is still signing on apikorses
DeleteAnon 5:04 ha! His chatzer said that’s a good one!
DeleteAll paid wzo influencers please take a deep breath and answer a simple q why by joining the wzo is there no issur anymore of hischabrus lireshayim ?? Please can someone give an answer
Delete5:36
DeleteHear Reb Shmuels answer in his own words

Scroll down to audio link
5:28 You might be better off crawling back into your hole
DeleteEHK did not make up the Kdei Meod Lhatzbia
Reb Shalom himself acknowledges that thats what they heard from Reb Chaim's Chatzer
See Event 19 in link below
https://netzachyisrael.substack.com/p/wzo-horror
5:30 Not sure what your issue is. We have this concept all over Shas where when one does a Masseh but has Kavana Lhefech then the Chalois of the Maaseh is not Chal.
DeleteIf I pick up an Esrog with Kavana not to be Yotze yet until after the Bracha, was I already Yotze by picking it up? NO ! You can still make the Bracha Oiver Laasiyoso !
Signing the JP clause with Bfeirush Kavana that I am not being mischaber with Rashaim is not a maaseh Hischabrus !!!
Anon 6:17 Reb shmuel is not giving a reason why it’s ok on the contrary from the fact he wrote a letter to Reb Chaim shows he had issues with it and there has been no reason given as to why it’s mutar I the audio Reb shmuel doesn’t mention a reason as to why it’s not hischabrus so again why is there no issur hischabrus
DeleteAnon 6:22 so enlighten us what was Reb Chaim’s answer was it like Reb shmuel said or was it what ehk said? (I’ll give you a hint it’s the 3 rd option and pretty obvious eh scammed Reb shmuel into believing Reb Chaim said anything on the matter)
DeleteAnon 6:29 your getting all mixed up there are 2 issues one is hischabrus regardless of any signing of the jp and having kavannah when your mischaber that your not being mischaber doesn’t work by lulav it’s a mitzvah so u can only be Mikayem with kavanah but if I do an avatar it’s an aveirah regardless of the kavannah
Delete2) there an issue with signing onto kefirah which the jp is saying im signing but I don’t mean to sign also makes no sense the same ppl that are screaming its ok to sign bc they dont mean it will never accept a Tayanah if someone says they hug Ahmedanajad but don’t mean it
6:29 Doing a Melacha (aveira) on Shabbos while one is mis'asek, Chayiv or Patur ?
Delete6:29 If someone points a gun at you and says - hug Ahmadinejad or I shoot you, is that hug an expression of love? Obviously not and its clearly just done to save your life no matter how many times you'll shout out Ahmedanajad I love you!!!
DeleteSame here.
8:01 Your Sinah for EHK is atrocious. EHK only publicized what Reb Shmuel told them.
DeleteWhat did Reb Shmuel tell them? He told them what he heard from Reb Chaims Chatzer, as per Reb Shalom's statement.
9:06 ty for the compliment!! I’ve been working on my sinah for them sonecha hashem… I’ll let you finish the sentence
DeleteThat version would be all nice and dandy the tiny winy issue with that is ehk been advertising and claiming that reb Chaim had a diff response of lasos kna”l so I ask once again and I’ll let you choose who should I believe today should I believe Reb shmuel or should I believe ehk (to make your life easier the issue stems from the fact that ehk marketing team Jcn/ consult write wasn’t aware of the lie ehk told Reb shmuel 5 years ago now when you lie you always have to remember what you said previously of not you get caught- ouch!)
9:47 You don't need to work on hating, you are a big enough hater and sufficiently consumed by hate already. Find something else to work on. It's on my achraius.
DeleteFor a guu who claims to be working on something based on a posuk, you would think he at least knows what the posuk says. It's not sonecha it's מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ
DeleteAnon 9:47 thank you again!!! Greatly appreciated but one can never sto working on himself and his middos Chas veshalom if one is lax in hating reshaim that’s re trying to be machriv klal yisroel he may end up loving them. Ahem ahem
DeleteAnon 10:31 your an illui!! This negates everything that anon 9:47 said wow! Great job! Bravo! You’re a hero! I hoped I didn’t make any typo mistakes otherwise you might as well negate it all
Delete11:04 You don't typo mistakes to be negated... Bnei Torah don't fly off the handle like that when someone points out a misquoted posuk...
Delete11:33 I honestly have no clue what your trying to say is there a point that you were trying to make?
DeleteAre we going to be shown how exactly the first 100 million was distributed? Who received, and how much each moissad received?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that if you were such a big contributer, they'd spend all the time you need to understand where every dollar went..
DeleteDon't they owe Klal Yisroel a din vecheshbon? Can they just come here, make a great noise and harness everyone's ahavas hatorah, and then just not show us what happened?
DeleteMaybe there will be no need for keren. .. ... 2.0
DeleteImagine Torah being supported by fellow brothers.
ReplyDeleteThink Rav Chiya
why does Aisle 9 need a 2 story warehouse for such a small store. hmmm..
ReplyDeleteWe need to fix the formula
ReplyDeleteAisle 9 happens to be a busy store. And more warehouse = more space to buy more volume at a better price. And more room for their catering/deli operation
ReplyDeleteGlad to see YWN is back to its Spewing hateful headlines against peleg protestors sinas am haratzim at its finest stoking hate against frum Jews playing right into the secular reform antisemitic playbook
ReplyDeleteThis is the platform used by te frum mosdos to advertise
plain sick
Now this is what you call words of tochocha spoken with true Ahavas Yisroel and meant only l'toyeles and kovod shomayim...
DeleteYes, violent protestors play right into the reform and anti-semitic playbook.
DeleteWhen we explain to them that the life of a Ben Torah is incompatible with the violence of the army, these kinds of scenes ruin the claim.
And that is besides the bad middos displayed and encouraged by people doing pointless acts that upset people and have nothing to do with Torah.
"Frum jews" ?? Are you referring to those hatted jacketed white shirted wild choleras acting no different than the Hamas loving college kids, who are being touch constantly by the chayalot, are these the FRUM jews you are talking about?
DeleteI suppose that kid yelling Shiksa and spitting at a religious woman is also one of your "FRUM jews"????
DeleteYWN is posting simple videos of the 'protests' How they are displaying abhorent behavior and making a chilul hashem. Rav Shach ztl and other gedolim would never allow this. It is a shame how they behave and an emabarasment. Pulling down posters of soldiers that died? Spitting on frum women? terrible behavior. I guess you just like to shoot the messenger posting video of these 'protesats' of people dressed up like frumeh yidden.
DeleteI’m not judging those who join Peleg in EY because I’m not in their situation of possibly facing the draft and would possibly act differently if I were. But it is still important to know where and what Peleg leads its followers to and regard it as a group accordingly. Otherwise you may start following it… They have no shortage of proselytizers in the US. The US crowd has to see them for who they are. May they and those who want to draft them do teshuva together.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but you’ve completely misunderstood the situation. That’s your perspective—and the one YWN wants you to see. But have you made any real effort to understand how these bochurim protesting actually see things?
ReplyDeleteThey are acting under the guidance of their rabbanim, roshei yeshiva, and rebbeim—leaders they trust deeply. They perceive a serious spiritual threat, one that you, as a casual viewer of YWN videos, likely haven't internalized. This isn’t just about protests or dramatic footage—these clips are being presented in a way that makes the bochurim look bad, intentionally eliciting a shallow and misguided response while completely ignoring the deeper, unreported side of the story.
That kind of selective coverage is not just irresponsible—it’s disgusting. It promotes division, spreads baseless hatred against ehrliche Yidden, and misrepresents an entire community.
To all the comfortable chutznikim casually scrolling through YWN for entertainment: please realize you’re being fed a narrative. Your reactions reflect a superficial grasp of what’s truly at stake
I'm NOT judging them as people but I am judging them as a group and as a group they are thugs who only make things worse. The only hafgona the Brisker Rav ever agreed to attend was the one against Giyus Bnos. And even then with all the risks to Bnos Yisroel he only agreed to attend if he was GUARANTEED beforehand that there would be no violence afterwards and no inflammatory speeches. That is the haskafa I still follow. H’kol kol Yaakov, V’Haditim Yedey Esav! Other behavior is wrong. Period. I do not judge these bochurim and understand their point of view and feel their pain. I also understand the point of view and don’t judge and feel the pain of the secular Israelis who want to draft them. But because I understand them and don’t judge them doesn’t mean we should not strongly oppose their behavior. For both groups mentioned.
DeleteWhich of their rabbanim, roshei yeshiva, and rebbeim & leaders instructed them to spit at religious women and call them shiksa and call the soldiers Nazis and to create massive chilul hashem when these images are viewed by our less religious brothers and they all respond - Thanks goodness we are not Daati ???
DeleteWhich of their rabbanim, roshei yeshiva, and rebbeim & leaders gave them a hetter to be touched and carried by the Chayalot????
Never in history has 'bnei torah' acted this way. There is a mesora how to act. Interesting when it comes to WZO and zionist it is asur as 'kochi veotzim' but when they proptest against some misdeed then they can use kochi viotzem '... Interesting...
DeleteSorry your pain for those who want to draft is misguided
DeleteThe gedolim called it a gezeiras giyus of shmad your sad attemo to equate both sides makes you the quintessential YWN btrainwashed follower who was duped into the hateful narrative against these yeshiva bochurim and you mask it but fake outrqge against their behavior
This 'guidance' is nonsense. Not one of their 'leaders' attends a hafgana, nor are there letters that they should do so.
DeleteThis is exactly as it seems - vildkeit and hefkerus.
Those acting with this vildkeit are endangering the entire olam hayeshivos, and sending them to the army. There is no way to persuade the public to allow Yeshivaleit to learn instead of going to the army if they see us as violent thugs forcing an opinion on others. If they cared about the army, they would stop acting this way.
2:03
DeleteTheir rebbeim and roshei yeshiva don't have to respond to you
Go-ahead open a yeshiva and guide your talmidim accordingly. The fact the your brain can't comprehend another side shows your lack of understanding and bias against what you don't grasp
Why not?
DeleteAre they somehow entitled to try to influence the rest of us?Just because??
Gezeiras giyus of shmad does not mean that we should shmad ourselves without going to the army. Encouraging bochurim to fight with their fists is also shmad. Especially if there is no chance of it being successful in changing the law, and it is counter-productive.
Delete3:27 You really don't come across as the type of guy who always has the attitude about other groups of Yidden "that is what their Rabbonim hold, so it's OK for them to do it" Anyway a group that sends it followers out in the street to demonstrate does the owe the public an explanation. They were TRYING to get other people to pay attention and react to them.
DeleteYWN is Trash like CNN it's a modern Orthodox site with fake Shocking click bate headlines spreading nastiness
ReplyDelete2:18 Thirty years ago when I was their age, you could have gotten me to join these bochurim by telling me it's a gezaras shmad that we need to moser nefesh to fight. I changed my view 180 degrees when I realized that had I been born a secular Israeli or even Mizrachi and came across this type of behavior too often I would also hate - I mean DESPISE - the Charedei world and everything it stands for. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteIn hopefully another couple decades you'll likely come to synthesize both those extremes moving somewhere in between
DeleteYes, you do have to be moser nefesh to fight. But only when it is a fight. But punching soldiers in the street isn't fighting, it doesn't bring a solution closer. It is shmad, let us do something about it.
DeleteThe street protestors don't believe it is shmad, which is why they are willing to risk a law not being passed by angering so many people.
To some it's the secular or "open" ideologies that supersede basic Jewish train of thought, basic daas torah.
DeleteHostage protesters and anti netanyoyo protestors have been doing the same.
