“It was the United States of America that saved Israel, and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves Bibi Netanyahu.”
Trump calls for Netanyahu's trial to be canceled.
President Trump: I am shocked to hear that the State of Israel is continuing its witch hunt against Netanyahu, the fighter who has been summoned to continue his trial on Monday. Netanyahu's trial must be canceled immediately, or a pardon must be granted to the great hero. The USA saved Israel, and now the USA will save Benjamin Netanyahu.

We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart, he's got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him.

- For those who are makpid on following Rav Yehuda Hachasid please make sure to cut nails and hair today as Rosh Chodesh is Thursday and Friday
R’ Yehuda Hachasid wrote in his last will and testament that there should be no haircuts, shaving or cutting nails on Rosh Chodesh, presumably because of sakana. The Mishna Berura writes specifically that this minhag applies even when Rosh Chodesh is on Friday.
However, there is a shita of Reb Yaakov Kaminetzky ztl who that the Minhag not to take a haircut on Friday only applies to a one day Rosh Chodesh. Then there is an option to take a haircut on Thursday, which is still considered L’kovid Shabbos. When Rosh Chodesh is two days, taking a haircut Wednesday would not be considered in honor of Shabbos. In that case Reb Yaakov held one could and should take the haircut on Friday, the second day of Rosh Chodesh. Follow your minhag or speak to your LOR

- Satmar Rebbe Rav Aaron spoke out about the war started by israel attacking IranThe The rebbe said "The War Was Because Netanyahu Was Afraid That the Coalition Would Fall" there was no real danger in it, and that the launch was made out of political calculation – when Netanyahu sought to save his government following threats from the ultra-Orthodox to overthrow it due to the draft law
The rebbe said the Iranians want to destroy all Jews. They are evil, but they are not the only ones, and there was no tangible danger now that they intended to attack. But what was it? The Prime Minister's fear that his coalition would fall, anyone who followed a little knew that because of the decree on the conscription of yeshiva students, the Caredi Knesset members wanted to leave the coalition."
"He had no other choice but to save his government, only through war. Think carefully, the war is only to save his rule, and that is why more than twenty Jewish Jews were killed, that is why the residents Eretz yisroel have been living in fear and terror for a week." "This whole war is a purely political war and he is ready to abandon all of Israel throughout the world. It is better to survive politically," said the Rebbe.
-NYP editorial on Mayoral primary election: We remain convinced that a Mayor Mamdani would be a disaster for New York City, and believe a majority of voters will agree … if he faces a credible opponent in November. This is certainly an opportunity for Mayor Eric Adams, who’s right now low in the polls thanks to his uneven first-term performance and a taint of corruption mainly created at the behest of a White House furious that he called out some obvious failings of a president who the nation now knows was unfit for the office.
Maybe Adams can come back roaring off the mat, or another candidate such as GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa can rally the city’s silent majority behind a positive, credible vision for New York’s future.
- Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory over three-term ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s mayoral primary is a “political earthquake” that will pressure the national Democratic Party to move further left, political analysts told The Post.
- Zohran won over 60% of voters under 40, with especially dominant support among 18 to 29 year-olds (Gen Z) - these are supermajorities

DeleteIt's not even his tzavaah. It's called that, but it's just a Sefer of minahgim.
DeleteSo we should write of the MG"A? https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49625&st=&pgnum=63
Deletesurely you aren't referring to rav yehuda hachasid's tzavaah as superstition.
DeleteDid the Satmar Rebbe come to his viewpoint about Netanyhu's motivation for the war in Iran after learning a blatt gemorah or is he just repeating the standard talking points that you can find in any far left newspaper?
ReplyDeleteIt’s called common senses naetanyahu has been crying about Ira as nukes for over 30 years saying how they’re about to get nukes. Strange how no other country had such intelligence. As rav shach said you can’t trust the Zionists for going to war (or anything) nebach hidden have died all for this rashas to personal gain
DeleteUh...Israel is not the only country to say that Iran is working on nuclear weapons. The U.S., UK, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, and Japan have expressed such concerns too. So has the International Atomic Energy Agency. Only unlike Israel Iran is not a threat to them
DeleteHere's my take on the Satmar Rebbes political analysis. The Satmar Rebbe says the Iran war is so that Netanyahu should not have to worry about keeping his coalition together . That doesn’t seem likely because the attack on Iran was a day after a failed no confidence vote. Being that Israeli law requires parties who bring unsuccessful no confidence votes to wait six months before doing it again and Israel is anyway going to elections in sixteen months Netanyahu has easier ways to keep the coalition together without going to war. If anything and that was his true motive he would have pushed the attack off for another five months.
DeleteYou really think thu US would have joined this war to help netanyahu get reelected?!
DeleteAnon 3:08- no one said it was for weapons (us-gabbard testified in congress as such) not sure where u r getting ur info and no one seemed to have a problem with it and
Delete“Just saying”- uh yes trump is bribed by Miriam Adelson so yes. Funny how he cares so much now what’s going on in Israel with Netanyahu trial he’s never mentioned it before
Anon 3:20 definitely is pretty coincidental. We can also mention Oct 7th as a way Netanyahu is staying in office isn’t it strange mossad is all over Iran but Oct 7th they didn’t know and just at the time when Netanyahu in trial how convenient and since then until the giyus issue he staying in office now that it became an issue again let’s play around with Iran. Besides the fact that bibi is a freier anti torah Jew and has no nemanus even as a person he’s a repeat offender mushchas and liar
DeleteSure Netanyahu enemies in the opposition all strongly supported the attack on Iran because they want Netanyahu to keep his coalition together. They also believe whatever Netanyahu tells them. None of them have the security background and information like the Satmar Rebbe to realize that there was no Iranian nuclear threat
DeleteAnon 4:59 you think the opposition is in the know? Who exactly sits in the situation room? Lapid? Any non Zionist who’s not meshuchad from Zionism sees this even lehavdil the goyim (bill clinton is one example)
Delete4:56 PM So now non-Jews, most of whom are anti-semites are where we turn to find out the truth of situations involving danger for Klal Yisroel. The frum anti Zionist movement has been very influenced by the non-Jewsih anti-Zionist "haskafa" that they read. But think for yourself and answer this question. If Iran was not looking to build a nuclear weapon why did they break the agreements they singed in both the NPT and JCPOA and enrich their uranium to 60% ? Under international norms and scientific practice, uranium enriched to 60% U-235 has no civilian use. It serves no role in power generation, medical isotopes, or legitimate research reactors, and its production raises serious proliferation concerns. It's only purpose is weaponry So why did Iran break their agreements and do it?
Delete4:56 PM Your comment could be used as a textbook example for how cults try to practice mind control without actually addressing the weaknesses of and obvious questions on their beliefs.
DeleteAnon 5:32 no one’s turning to non Jews it’s just common sense Netanyahu is not a trustworthy person besides for being a Zionist and an ois varf. To think yidden have gone to war bc Netanyahu said there’s a danger and we know he has negeyis and somehow it’s always working in his favor and pushing off the court case why should I trust him? Iran has yet to be in a war but Israel has fought many and started many including this one. If you believe Iran was trying to get a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel idk forsure but I do know that tulsi gabbard testified in congress otherwise and that Netanyahu has been claiming the same thing for over 30 years do you really believe him?cmon
Delete6:21 I have no clue what you are referring to but speaking of addressing questions can you please adress how for the last 30+ years Netanyahu has been saying Iran is a few months/ years away from a nuclear weapon but now he finally bombed them when he has a negeyis for it to keep himself out of jail or lease answer why should trust him and don’t avoid the q
DeleteGabbard clarified that U.S. intelligence indicated Iran could potentially produce a nuclear weapon “within weeks to months”. She only meant to say that U.S. intelligence does not indicate they are actively looking to do so. But didn't you claim no one is turning to non-Jews? Several factors have delayed Iran’s potential weaponization over the years: international sanctions crippling its economy, IAEA inspections , covert sabotage (e.g., Israel’s alleged attacks on Natanz), and Iran’s strategic calculation that an actual bomb could provoke devastating military retaliation. None of that would have happened had Israel not been sounding the alarm. I will not respond to you further.
DeleteAnon 8:29. ?????????
DeleteWhat about the war in Satmar. Was that nessecary?
ReplyDeleteLol. Btw, it's "necessary", necessarily.
DeleteDoes Aaron also believe that JFK is still alive hiding in Cuba , and that man never landed on the moon? Lol

ReplyDeleteThe Chickens Come Home to Roost
The Mamdani victory is a glaring example of the epic failure of the Agudah doctrine and of other self-appointed frum askanim who have persistently endorsed and voted for Democrats in NYC, including Jewish Democrats. These figures helped shape the very environment we now find ourselves in: one where they cared only about government funding while turning a blind eye to the collapse of societal values.
By embracing all manner of ills and enabling policies that have turned New York into a cesspool, they attracted exactly the kind of elements that thrive in such moral decay. As the city sinks deeper into decadence and filth, frum Yidden may soon find it increasingly difficult to live here at all.
And when people dared to object to supporting Democrats, the Agudah leadership would retreat to their tired talking points claiming that Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt”l, was a daas yachid. But now we see clearly: you reap what you sow.
w/o taking sides on the actual issue. I predict that when the dust settles the askanim will advise voting for Mamdani
DeleteExactly what could the Agudah have done that would have produced a different outcome?
DeleteRemember, this was a Democratic primary, they couldn't endorse Curtis Sliwa. They had a choice between Mamdani and Cuomo. Which do you suggest they should choose?
Easy Answer: Had Aguda never remained so smoothly all in over & over with the pro immigrant bargain labor third world pervert brandishing policies of slick jet set non-third world dominant wing of the Democrat party who for sure were bound to remain on top[sarcasm alert]-FOR which they were WARNED repeatedly but ever suavely mocked their Jeremiahs with their comparative supposed inside expertise & signatory DT-this could never have happened.& unless they are put to pasture,it will happen again!
DeleteThe Chickens have well indeed come home to Roost
How sad that people are so caught up in their political dimyonos that they actually believe their simplistic narratives.
DeleteBoruch Hashem that you can fight the righteous war, and feel good as you do so.
We(R'Leiter,R,Homnik,R'Levin,R'Teleky,a dozen others) have been fighting & suffering for it for decades because of this.& nobody ever enjoys it.
DeleteWHERE HAVE you BEEN??
Because unlike your politico organization askanim,they are tzadikim.
At least be gracious to FINALLY admit you & yours were retrospectively wrong all along.& the disaster your honchos have finally brought on everybody.As they predicted.TRY.Will you??
Kannaim on the Internet: The Agudah is useless, they don't do anything.
DeleteAlso Kannaim on the Intenet: The Agudah is completely to blame for the entire progressive movement.
Plain Motzi Shem Ra on Aguda. There would be no better outcome had Agudah taken a different position. They have their Morei Derech that guide them. Most endorsements are about choosing the lesser of two evils.
Delete4:42,
DeleteWith Aguda & similar organizations eg SVL,OU,RCA out of the mix, just few noble 'outsider' altruists have caused better outcomes than anything they accomplished eg Bob Turner in 2011,etc.,etc.
4:44,
Funny!
When their preferred candidate wins, they're always lapping up the credit. Galore!
But if they lose well "would be no better outcome had Agudah taken a different position"
"choosing the lesser of two evils."If you made those evils-share reponsibility
Well who will you vote for, Lenin or Mussolini?
Sure, the Agudah made Mamdani and Cuomo.
DeleteThe שנאת חנם is frightening. People will believe anything and everything, just for a political difference.
Remember, Leiter has no problem making friends with lowllives like Roy Moore, but hates Frumme ehrliche Yidden on the Agudah. This is what happens when people take politics too seriously. They blame this on Reb Avigdor Miller, but ignore what he said about staying with frumme Yidden. As the Klausenberger Rebbe put it 'they hate a Yid and love the Goy.'
The public if they so desire can hear some of the aforementioned 4:27pm noble names tonight @11 in NYC area on WSNR 620AM
DeleteOutrageous,Orwellian.
DeleteThose like R'Leiter whose have sacrificed their essential all for their encompassing Ahavah, are maligned as haters by 4:30am
While to contrast those who amount to haters whose only love is indulgent self-love are termed as lovers?
per Chazon Ish, only through an aggressive tightrope tandem between active ahavah & sin'ah would uproot the original tragic sinful sin'ah and will finally bring geulah.
so the definition of "sinas chinam" is people who don't hate the same people that i hate?
DeleteNu,this isn't only about Agudah.It's also other similar Organizations who together took over & mockingly shoved everybody else however prescient out of the limelight.
DeleteThe fun run is over.Come out & admit their direction has unfortunately been proven off all along.
Reach out & work together
instead continuing to be lashing out with only"political difference", & silly " שנאת חנם". Even if/where necessary to apologize for old wounds
Disagree with the Agudah all you like. But this isn't disagreement, this is sin'as chinam. Hating someone because they have a different opinion to you is just hate.
DeleteBtw, it's strange that we have many talmidei chachamim in our world. Yet, not one has ever said anything remotely similar to the opinions of Leiter and ilk. Supporting Goyim?! Where did he pick that one up from? We had Reb Dovid Feinstein in this country, did he support it? Does Reb Reuven? How about Reb Elya Svei? Did he say anything remotely similar? Reb Meir Stern is still with us, what has he said about joining goyishe culture wars?
Yes, Leiter sacrificed all. All of us are too comfortable, staying married to our wives and bringing up our children.
Mr. Cohen, you missed the target here.
Such utter pathetic drivel. You really can't serve up something better? What purpose does an answer serve?
DeleteBut here goes
BTW even among his noble altruist group there are bound to be differences in methods & tactics. However from among them arises emes.In R' Shneur 's words such a group of Bnei aliyah has the Din of gadol hador
Now because your ilk is so in the pits you wish to make it personal. THAT is the epitome of sheer sinas chinom! Hope everybody notices it!
The nefarious moguls there worked over his wife to walk out in order to reduce his impact because his virtue was a threat to them. But you'll twist even that?!
Several of your leading RY divorced their young wives awhile back. Ever taken them to task for that?
Just be modeh. There are righteous astute men who could have been on top of your social pyramid out there than your crowd ever will be. But they gave it up & due to need for gratitude the indulgent of the community rather spurn them for it!
How low are going to go in your desperation?
was that last word salad written by Kamala Harris?
DeleteAnon 2:20 explained quite articulately how the Agudah are to blame for the entire country, and are also useless people who do nothing.
DeleteI couldn't have written it better.
Also, what does 'nefarious moguls' mean?
Although in general, personal attacks are out of place, this case is different.
DeleteMany of us are on one side in the culture wars in the US, and that makes sense. We have conservative ideas of marriage and they often align with some of those in the more conservative parties.
However, when we begin to set our own identity with these ideals, we can often find ourselves tied up in knots, explaining the indefensible and aligning with characters whose morals are as anti-Torah as those on the left.
Some of these people are well-known for their activism, and people may think that they represent them. When the average Ben Torah finds out who those rabble-rousers and 'righteous astute men' are, they will be more suspicious about joining their parade.
Yes, their personal lives are relevant here. If they were productive people who were עוסקים בישובו של עולם with all that entails, people may take them seriously. With a little understanding of their backgrounds, things may be different.
DeleteMost Russian Jews back in Russia used to make the same garbage comments as 6:55am & then some, about the Refuseniks who we now glorify
If 6:55am would have been behind the Iron Curtain, he would have gone after the Refuseniks.The main basis that we haven't been downgraded to that yet is because of the heroic 'righteous astute' men, of which there are several, who he can't stomach
TIME TO FIX THE FORMULA
