2024 Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro blames Israel for civil unrest after he stole election.

Reb Shraga Feivel’s [Mendlowitz] thoughts

one day, talking excitedly with Rabbi Gedaliah Schorr

What matters is Donald Trump’s pro-Israel and pro-Jewish policies.
His personal life is not relevant, or is much-less relevant.It is better to vote for a candidate with pro-Israel and pro-Jewish policies,
even if he is a massive philanderer, than it is to vote for a candidate with
anti-Israel and anti-Jewish policies, even if he was never a philanderer.In other words, the policies of the candidates are much more important
than their personal lives, especially their polices towards Israel and Jews.I am AMAZED by the large numbers of people who
do not understand this very simple and very important idea.If you are smart enough to get through 12 years of yeshivah,
then you should be smart enough to understand this concept.===========================================

The Catholic Church has traditionally opposed divorce.
However, millions of individual Catholics want divorce.
In other words, millions of Catholics disagree with their church.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantIn a recent comment dated August 4, 2024, sechel83
claimed that Rabbi Moshe Feinstein [ZTL ZYA]
“openly wrote letters encouraging everything the rebbe did”.Since Rabbi Moshe Feinstein [ZTL ZYA] died in 1986 CE,
and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson died in 1994,
this means that Rabbi Moshe Feinstein never saw
the many thousands of Chabad people who continued
to insist that their Rebbe was the Melech HaMashiach,
even after his death.We cannot know with certainty what Rabbi Moshe Feinstein
would have said about people who insist that the Chabad Rebbe
was the Melech HaMashiach, even after his death;
but given stories that I heard about him, I think he would
be very disappointed with the Meshichists and Elokists,
and he would tell Jews to not listen to them.August 5, 2024 4:02 am at 4:02 am in reply to: Should Jews Go on Vacation while Israel is at War? #2302539SQUARE_ROOTParticipantQUESTION: “Should Jews Go on Vacation while Israel is at War?”
===========================================
If we want to discuss this question correctly,
then we must recognize 3 different categories:[1] Category 1 is those who live in Eretz Yisrael, and suffer because of the war.
[2] Category 2 is those who live in the exile [galut], but suffer from serious troubles.
[3] Category 3 is those who live in the exile [galut], in comfort and prosperity.
Which of the 3 categories does the original question refer to?
The answer for Category 1 is not the same as the answer for Category 2.

=============================Over the past 300 days, I have not listened to even one minute of music,
because of the great suffering of our people, in our Holy Land.
Even if I had listened to music, I would not have been able to enjoy it,
because of my knowledge of their suffering.I cannot listen to music when it seems that every week,
more of our precious soldiers, who defend our precious Holy Land, are killed.I cannot listen to music when 8 soldiers are killed in one day,
by a Muslim-Nazi genocidal-terrorist booby trap.I cannot listen to music when soldiers in their 20s are being killed,
with at least one 19 year old soldier killed.I cannot listen to music when those who righteously fight
to defend us from Muslim-Nazi genocidal-terrorists
suffer permanent injuries, injuries that will never heal.I cannot listen to music when parents of these soldiers suffer
the most horrific fate that any parent can experience:
their children dying young, without giving them any grandchildren.It seems ironic to me that I cannot remember things that I learned
in High School or College, even though I spent many hours
studying for tests; yet memories of the music that I used to listen to
enter my mind every day and every night, even music that I listened to
in the 1970s and 1980s. It seems that musical memories are the
longest-lasting memories; at least for me, and maybe for other people also.I wish that all the time that I spent listening to music had instead
been spent accomplishing some useful goal, because listening
to music is pleasant, but it is not as useful as accomplishments,
nor is it equal in importance to achievements.Last but not least, the very-small inconvenience that I suffer
by not listening to music is NOTHING, when compared to
the vastly greater suffering of our brothers and sisters in our Holy Land.
May G*D save them, and us here in the exile, very soon.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantRobert Spencer of Frontpage Magazine said:
The media isn’t going to tell you this. The Hamas-linked Council
on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes itself as
“America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.”In that guise, and as it has championed numerous far-left causes,
it has become a respected member of the leftist establishment,
with numerous ignorant and self-serving politicians lavishing
praise on this unsavory gang in hopes of gaining Muslim votes.Among them has been, not surprisingly, Kamala Harris.
This has been known for years, but no one has cared.
Back in October 2020, the Washington Free Beacon reported that
“as California’s attorney general and then as U.S. senator,
Harris forged a relationship with the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR), one of the nation’s top anti-Israel groups
and advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state.”After the Hamas massacres of October 7, 2023, this matters more than ever.
CAIR, the Free Beacon added, “advised [Kamala] Harris on
community issues during her time in California politics,
and she later offered the group her ‘gratitude and admiration’
in a 2018 personal letter to the group.”
Specifically, “Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR’s
Los Angeles office, praised Harris in 2015 for including
the group in an interfaith meeting with law enforcement officials.[Kamala] Harris, he said, ‘exemplified leadership’ by
vowing to tackle Islamophobia at a time when
the state’s Jewish institutions were facing threats.”That was bad enough, since “Islamophobia” is a propaganda
weapon designed to intimidate people that it is wrong —
somehow “bigoted” — to oppose jihad violence
and Sharia oppression of women.Even worse, long before he praised Kamala Harris,
Hussam Ayloush has repeatedly refused to denounce
Hamas and Hizballah [Hezbollah] as terrorist groups.In 2017, with Donald Trump in the White House,
Ayloush called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.Yet the following year, [Kamala] Harris wrote to CAIR:
“Please accept my gratitude and admiration
for your tireless work to promote peace,
justice, and mutual understanding.”Even that was not all. “As California’s top cop,” the Free Beacon noted,
“Harris partnered with local CAIR officials and relied on them
to advise her about community matters. In 2015, for instance,
[Kamala] Harris hosted CAIR for an interfaith community event
following a deadly terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
In 2016, as Harris ran for the Senate, CAIR’s
political action committee donated $1,750 to boost her campaign.”That may not be much in the larger scheme of things,
but imagine the outcry if Donald Trump had taken a small fraction
of that amount from a group linked to the Ku Klux Klan.Harris’ ties to CAIR take on a new urgency now that she is
a presidential candidate, and now that this self-proclaimed
“civil rights organization” is more forthright
than it used to be about where it really stands:CAIR’s cofounder and longtime executive director Nihad Awad
infamously said that he was “happy” about Hamas’
October 7 [2023] jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis.In April 2024, Awad eulogized a Muslim Brotherhood cleric,
Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, who had ties to al-Qaeda as well as Hamas:“The Islamic nation has lost one of its biggest emblems and men
with the passing of Sheikh Alam and worker Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani
after he dedicated his life to the service of the Quran
and the manifestation of its miracles that never cease.
He remained tall and firm in the face of challenges, tribulations,
pressure, and rankings until he met the Almighty Allah.
Our condolences to his family, Yemen, and our nation.
We ask Allah, the Merciful, the Merciful and the Forgiving,
to have mercy on him, forgive him and reward him with the best of rewards.”Al-Zindani was on the UN Security Council’s list of specially designated terrorists.
If Trump had similar ties to any of the groups that the leftist establishment
claims are made up of “right-wing extremists,” including a group that
opposes CAIR and jihad terror and got added to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s
“hate group” list for doing so, the media outcry would be shrill and intense.Trump would be hounded everywhere
until he disavowed the group and returned its donation.No one, however, is asking Harris about CAIR.
That’s because Harris, CAIR, and the media are all part of the same leftist establishment.Surely you don’t expect them to police themselves, do you?
Politicians can associate freely with groups that are on
the left’s approved list, and be secure in
the knowledge that there will be no accountability.Responsibility to the American people?

SQUARE_ROOTParticipantThis recent article was written by Dr. Joseph Frager MD:
President Joe Biden is missed already. As bad as he was,
Vice President Kamala Harris is a hundred times worse.
One of her first official acts as nominee for president
was to make sure not to attend Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress,
even though she is the President of the Senate
and it is more than just customary for her to do so.House Speaker Mike Johnson said,
“It is outrageous to me and inexcusable that …
Kamala Harris is boycotting Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech.”Would Harris have declined to attend Winston Churchill’s
speech to Congress on December 26, 1941?Israel is America’s only real and reliable ally in the Middle East.
It was brutally and savagely attacked on October 7 [2023].It has been and continues to be bombarded by missiles from Hezbollah.
Twelve children were just killed in their latest bombing.
Iran attacked Israel with hundreds of missiles, drones and UAVs on April 13 [2024].Israelis are deeply concerned that their very existence is at stake.
Britain felt the same way during World War II.
As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his address,
Biden visited Israel soon after Oct. 7 to lend support because
he was aware of the gravity of the situation. It was a war against evil.Winston Churchill devoted most of his speech to Congress
to ultimate victory over the Axis powers.
He quipped about his American-born mother,
“I cannot help reflecting that if my father had been American
and my mother British, instead of the other way round,
I might have got here on my own.
In that case, this would not have been
the first time you would have heard my voice.”He went on to say, “We both of us have much to learn
in the cruel art of war. We have therefore,
without doubt, a time of tribulation before us.”Churchill was warmly received on both sides of the aisle.
He understood war and its consequences.
No one tiptoed around the evil that the Axis powers
had unleashed. No one, including the “isolationists”
who opposed U.S. involvement in the war, boycotted the event.Ironically, Netanyahu has addressed Congress four times
while Churchill did so only three times. Although Harris
might think that the situations are different, this is not an excuse.
Israel is facing a multi-front war and is preventing
that war from spreading to U.S. shores.Harris has already encouraged campus protests against Israel
by stating that “They are showing exactly what
the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza.”Her quick call for a ceasefire as early as March only hardened
the hearts of Hamas, prolonging the war. Harris’s moral equivalence
on the conflict will only make a hostage deal even more difficult.As one Israeli official said after Netanyahu and Harris met,
“When our enemies see the U.S. and Israel are aligned
it increases the chances for a hostage deal and decreases
the chances for a regional escalation. When there is such daylight
it pushes the deal further away and brings a regional escalation closer.”Thus, Harris has only made the situation worse.

she was advocating for the “de facto holocaust for all of humanity.”SOURCE: article titled: “Elon Musk Calls Kamala Harris an ‘Extinctionist’ in X Post”

How does that make him any worse than the average American politician?
Every accusation that you made against Donald Trump is also true for:
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck “the shmuck” Schumer, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama,
Bill and Hillary Clinton, and the entire Democratic Party.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantMr. Daniel Greenfield said this:
“The idea that terrorists attack because they hate freedom,
however, is misguided,” Philip Gordon wrote in “Winning the Right War.”
“Even most of the Muslims who support terrorism and trust
Osama bin Laden favor elected government” and “personal liberty.”[Philip] Gordon, [ex-President] Obama’s future Middle East coordinator,
explained in his book that Muslim terrorists weren’t “born evil” and
did not “hate our freedoms”, but rather feel “shame” over the state of
“a once great Islamic civilization” surpassed by other cultures
including “the local upstart, Israel.”America was “creating conditions” that “generate” Islamic terrorism
by detaining Al Qaeda terrorists, failing to punish American soldiers
and “justifying any Israeli military action.” Gordon urged the White House
to assure Iran that we have “no intention of using military force
against Iran or fomenting internal dissent” because
“Iran’s concerns about such issues are legitimate.”Published in 2007 by an imprint of The New York Times, [Philip] Gordon’s
book was a blueprint of the policies the Obama administration would adopt,
including blaming America and Israel, appeasing Iran and Islamists
and making Muslims feel better about themselves.
These are the building blocks of the policies that
led us to Oct. 7 and an Iranian war across the region.Today, [Philip] Gordon is Kamala’s national security adviser,
and possible future secretary of state.Gordon’s hostility toward Israel and sympathy for Islamic terrorists
is a longstanding matter. Even before joining the Biden administration,
he had co-written an article with Iran lobby figure Robert Malley,
currently under FBI investigation for mishandling classified documents,
urging Biden to reverse Trump’s possible recognition of Israel territory
and to cut political and economic support for Israel to punish it
for its diplomatic successes under the Trump administration.Recently, Gordon urged Israel to stop seeking victory against Hamas
and accept a hostage deal that would allow the Islamic terrorist group
to hang on in Gaza and free thousands of terrorists.In his book, Gordon claimed that
“though Hamas refuses to recognize Israel today,
it is not hard to imagine an eventual change in that position.”
And in 2014, he argued that a reconciliation deal
between the PLO and Hamas “isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”In 2016, Gordon, speaking on behalf of the Clinton campaign,
appeared at a conference of the National Iranian American Council
(NIAC), widely regarded as the Iran lobby, and promised that
Hillary Clinton would veto new sanctions on Iran. He was described
as assuring the Iran lobby of the “potential for collaboration with Iran.”
The New York Times even appeared to list him as a “tour guide” on its Iran trips.And Gordon is not the only terror booster on Kamala’s team.
Ilan Goldenberg, a key member of the Kerry team who played
vital roles in the Obama administration’s campaigns against Israel
and for Iran, serves as her Middle East adviser,
and would have a more prominent role in any administration.Goldenberg complained that the Trump administration had taken
Israel’s side during the Hamas border riots that served as
a prep for Oct. 7, objected that moving the embassy to Jerusalem
had not been packaged with similar concessions to the terrorists
and co-authored a paper with Hady Amr,
who acts as Biden’s point man to the terrorists.The paper proposed that “the United States, UNSCO, and Egypt
should work quietly in concert, engaging with Israel, the PA, Hamas”
to secure a “long-term ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas,
with Israel accepting that “Hamas would retain some of its military capabilities.”At one session Goldenberg urged, “You used to have 25,000,
100,000 Gazans working inside Israel. That needs to happen again.
The Israelis know who these guys are.
They can start with a few thousand work permits.
And there’s a lot of support for that in all of the Israeli communities around Gaza.”Prior to Oct. 7 [2023], Gazans flooded Israel, scouted those
“Israeli communities around Gaza” and when Oct. 7 began,
came back with maps of the communities so that they knew
where the security teams were, which houses had dogs
and where the children could be found.Gordon and Goldenberg, who are set to play major roles
in a Harris administration, have expressed no regrets or retractions
of their past policies and positions. Even as the Middle East burns
due to Iranian terrorism, all they have done is double down.In a co-written op-ed headlined, “Relax, Israel — if your ally
is working with your enemy, it doesn’t make them friends.”
Goldenberg envisioned that “In the aftermath of a successful
nuclear deal, U.S. relations with Iran should shift
from that of an adversary to that of a competitor.”His position on Israel was rather different, with op-eds like
“Why Israel’s Settlement Construction Must Be Stopped” and
“How Israel Brought U.N. Resolution on Itself With Irrational Settlement Push”.Under a Secretary of State Phil Gordon, the Abraham Accords
and normalization with countries like Saudi Arabia, which one
of his op-eds described as an “Arabian fantasy,”
would be swept aside in a return of Obama’s non-stop
pressure campaign on Israel to create a terrorist state.“How will it have peace if it is unwilling to delineate a border,
end the occupation, and allow for Palestinian sovereignty,
security, and dignity?” Gordon had said at a conference in Israel
right after terror rockets began to fall.
“It cannot maintain military control of another people indefinitely.
Doing so is not only wrong but a recipe for resentment and recurring instability.”After the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens by Hamas,
Gordon equated Israel and the terrorists, claimed that both sides
suffered from “racism,” told “both sides to demonstrate reason and calm”
and warned that “calls for retribution and revenge have no place on either side.”
Finally he falsely contended that “neither side” was
“ready to make the difficult decisions required for an agreement.”Goldenberg had similarly argued that “half the root causes are Israeli actions,
in terms of — especially just focusing on Gaza, on the blockade.
And the other half is Hamas’s choice to use violence and arm itself in response.”That false paradigm has been markedly present
in Kamala’s attacks on Israel after Oct 7 [2023].Kamala’s relentless criticism of Israel’s self-defense is a preview of things to come.
Behind her escalating rhetoric are a group of anti-Israel figures
from the Obama administration. Goldenberg was one of the radicals
brought in by the Warren campaign and then injected into
the Biden administration. Gordon is a longtime State Department
anti-Israel figure from a faction whose fingerprints
are all over the policies that empowered Iran and set the region on fire.What would Kamala’s foreign policy look like?
The presence of Gordon and Goldenberg as her close advisers
on the region shows that it would be the Obama administration on steroids.SOURCE: article titled: “Kamala’s anti-Israel advisers helped bring on Oct. 7”

Hamas is the one who is taking their food away.

Before Eretz Yisrael was taken-over by “The Zionists”,
there were approximately three [3] yeshivahs in Eretz Yisrael.After 76 years of Zionist rule in Eretz Yisrael,
there are many hundreds of yeshivahs in Eretz Yisrael,
maybe more than 1,000 yeshivahs in Eretz Yisrael.Plus similar increases in the number of synagogues in Eretz Yisrael.
In secular year 1967, the stunning victory of “The Zionists”

are both studying in many yeshivahs right now,
and teaching in many yeshivahs right now.ALL food in the Israeli Army is KOSHER.

President from 1986 to 1994) said this:==========================================
In 1968, I ran as a Democrat in my first primary election,
as I sought to become a New York state Assemblyman.I fought four more tough primary races against fellow Democrats
David Dinkins and Robert Wagner Jr. as we vied to become
Manhattan borough president, and yet another in 1985 against
Ken Lipper to become City Council president. In every primary
I had to work my butt off to prove myself to my party and my constituents.
Those races made me a better public servant and a better man.That’s what the democratic process is for — and what the Democratic Party
is all about: testing our candidates through primary contests and giving
our voters a voice. This is not happening with Kamala Harris.And it’s one of the reasons the Democratic Party will lose to Donald Trump in November.
If they actually wanted to live up to their name, Democratic leaders
would insist on an open convention where delegates
could freely select a presidential nominee in Joe Biden’s place.Instead, Harris is getting a free ride from the media and from many in her party:
Those who failed to pass Biden off as competent are now highly motivated
to try to position Harris as someone who’s qualified to be president.The anti-Trump press is ready to deify her,
Hollywood donors are poised to fill her coffers,
and the left is going all out to maintain their power.Only one problem: Harris is utterly unqualified for the job.
Harris was one of the worst vice presidents in history,
an abject failure at virtually every task except for casting
tie-breaker voters for big spending bills
that caused the inflation we’re all suffering through.Instead, she fixed it for the left — letting millions of
unauthorized immigrants (*) pour into this country
and then backing free healthcare for them all.She has no foreign-policy experience, with a background as
a California “prosecutor” and less than a full term in the US Senate.She has not been tested on the national stage in any serious way
and got zero votes as a failed presidential candidate.She is turning her back on our democratic ally Israel,
even as it faces attacks on three sides from
Iranian proxies who are holding Americans hostage.Her stance only gives comfort to Hamas and signals
the continuation of weak-kneed pro-Iran policies.This week, in her first speech as a 2024 candidate,
she promised massive new spending programs.
As a senator, she backed the full $10 trillion Green New Deal.So a vote for Harris is a vote for spending that could kick off
another round of inflation, continued open borders costing us billions,
higher energy prices and electric vehicle mandates.There isn’t a left-wing idea out there that Harris has not supported,
from the transgender agenda to banning private health insurance altogether.Her idea of freedom is joining a union,
not fostering American individualism and innovation.
Her idea of the future is expanded government handouts for virtually everything.
Despite Harris’ trademark cackle, her election would be no laughing matter.All of the flaws and mistakes of the Biden-Harris administration
will be magnified if the veep [Vice President] makes it to the Oval Office.
She is nothing but the Great Pretender, the sequel.Donald Trump has had to survive false accusations of racism,
fines meant to bankrupt him, partisan lawsuits in an attempt to jail him,
an assassin’s bullet — and now even a second presidential opponent,
after demolishing his first one.Don’t be fooled by all the Harris hype: She is nothing but a new mask
for the left, a failed vice president who in nearly four years on the job
never did anything to distinguish herself.As an elected Democratic official for 25 years, I could not in good conscience
vote for Kamala Harris. I would have to vote for Donald Trump.SOURCE: article titled: “I ran in Democratic primaries for 25 years —

He’s the prime example of a dangerous dictator masquerading as a victim and patriot.
He showers us with self-pitying tales of his wife’s and kids’ disastrous automobile deaths
and falsifies his son Beau’s death as occurring during the Iraq war.He not only proclaims what kinds of autos, washing machines
and light bulbs we must purchase but also woos the support

=====================================Nearly half of Jewish voters have felt at risk because of their religious identity
while living in the Empire State — while more than a third said that New York
is no longer a safe haven for their people, a shocking new poll reveals.The survey conducted for the pro-Israel New York Solidarity Network
found that 44% of the 1,200 Jewish voters in New York City
and other counties queried said they have felt unsafe,
as did 67% of identifiable Orthodox Jews.More than a third — 35% — said they agreed with the statement:
“New York is no longer a safe haven for Jewish life and the Jewish people.”Nearly 40% of the same voters said the US is no longer a safe haven for Jews.
The numbers are unsettling given that 1.5 million Jews live in New York state
— more than any single place on the globe outside of Israel, the poll takers said.“That more than a third of registered New York Jewish voters believe
New York is no longer a safe haven for Jews should be a five-alarm fire
for state and local elected officials,” Sara Forman, executive director
of the New York Solidarity Network and Treasurer of Solidarity PAC,
said in a statement to The Post Wednesday.It comes as New York has been hit by a wave of antisemitic hate crimes
since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.The hate has spilled onto college campuses, where some Jewish students
have been left cowering in fear due to anti-Israel protests and antisemitic incidents
— including at Cooper Union and at Columbia University,
where vandals occupied an academic building.Many of the masked hoodlums escaped prosecution, and a campaign
is now underway to urge Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state legislature
to restore a mask ban at public protests to prevent harassers
and bigots from hiding their identify and getting away with crimes.Half of those surveyed by the New York Solidarity Network said
they don’t believe New York’s college campuses will do enough
to make Jewish students feel safe in the upcoming fall semester,
while 42% said they did.Meanwhile, 86% of respondents said they believe that antisemitism
is a serious problem, and 56% have witnessed anti-Jewish hatred
on social media and online forums —
including 72% of those under the age of 30.Antisemitic hate crimes are up 45% in 2024, according to NYPD data
obtained by The Post in April — with many of the
emboldened attacks captured on shocking video.For instance, the Brooklyn Museum’s director and a number
of its Jewish board members last month were targeted
by antisemitic vandals who tossed red paint and scrawled
“blood on your hands” across their homes.An inverted red triangle was sprayed on director Anne Pasternak’s
co-op apartment building — a symbol used in the past
by Hamas to identify Israeli military targets and, more recently,
has been spotted at anti-Israel tent encampment protests
that plagued university campuses across the country.An anti-Jewish harasser from Staten Island was recently arrested
for allegedly storming a Big Apple subway car
and demanded that “Zionists” raise their hands.A Jewish father of five in Brooklyn was beaten in front of his own home
last December during the first night of Hanukkah as his attacker
spewed antisemitic vitriol — just two days before another man
was robbed of his $2,500 traditional Jewish headpiece in the borough.The virulent Jew hatred has exploded amid the Hamas-Israel war in Gaza,
initiated by the terror militia’s sneak attack on the Jewish State.“Jews have been warning leadership for months, as masked mobs
teeming with hatred for Jews crowded outside hospitals and synagogues,
defaced the homes of Jewish museum board members,
intimidated Jews on the subway and in other public spaces,
vandalized Jewish-owned business, overran colleges to ‘occupy’ campuses
— all while far-left politicians celebrated this behavior as ‘peaceful’ protest,” Forman said.“If we do not feel safe here, with the largest Jewish community outside of Israel,
how can we feel safe anywhere?” Forman added.“Community leaders, non-Jewish allies, and elected officials on
the state and local level must send a decisive message
to the public, and to those elected officials who condone this behavior,
that anti-Jewish hatred has no place in New York, without exception or apology.”The New York Solidarity Network survey conducted by
GQR Insights and Action questioned 1,200 registered Jewish voters
from May 9-22, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.Live phone interviews made up 46% of respondents,
while text-to-web surveys made up the other 54%.Voters from high density Jewish zip codes were interviewed in New York City
and select counties: Nassau, Suffolk, Albany, Broome, Erie, Monroe, Oneida,
Onondaga, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Tompkins, Ulster and Westchester.SOURCE: article titled: Nearly half of Jewish voters believe NY is unsafe for them

“The media and his fellow politicians have been hiding the president’s condition from the American people.
His administration governed following a leftist agenda, embedding it deeply into American governance, culture, and society.
Expressing the truth about the president and his abilities risked the return of Donald Trump and his traditionalism and America First agenda.Journalism today is less about objective reporting and more about framing occurrences to advance agendas and objectives.
So, when there were clips of the president demonstrably weakened, saying silly things, or speaking gibberish and displaying that he was in decline, the right-wing media reported on them while the prevailing mainstream media, whose objective is to advance social progressivism, ignored them.Biden was kept hidden from the general population. Sometimes they would trot him out to read speeches or comments from cards or a teleprompter, but he would rarely interface with people for long and didn’t engage in small talk. Invariably, when he did, he would say something foolish, wrong, or incomprehensible.
He would meet with leaders and dignitaries and read his comments from cards. It was poor form for foreign leaders to tell anyone that the president wasn’t with it. At summits, everyone would play along and cover for the American president. Liberalism was enabled to govern and lead the country and the world.
Generally, the gambit worked, and when the media and Democrat politicians were unable to ignore the instances, they blamed them on the right and said that the right-wing media was dishonestly editing clips to portray a healthy, sharp, vigorous president as incoherent and weak.
But the campaign messed up. They believed their own narratives about Donald Trump and assumed that, in an early debate, he would expose himself to the world for the madman they told everyone he is. The country would see that he is insane and wants to be a dictator. They would be rid of him once and for all.
But the tables were turned, and even after a full week of rest and preparation, their candidate could not perform.
He spoke in incomplete sentences, was unclear and unfocused, and at times made absolutely no sense at all.
There was no way to sugarcoat what 50 million people saw with their own eyes in real time.
So instead of Trump being exposed, Biden was. And the jig was up.Once they realized that, everyone who had been covering for Biden ran for cover.
Then they made it seem as if they were surprised.
They knew that if permitted to run for reelection as their candidate,
Biden would lose, and the liberal enterprise they had going would implode.
With little choice, they began sacrificing their man and playing up the incompetent woman he had chosen to serve as his vice president, hoping that they would be able to do for her what they did for him and convince the low-information voters to vote for her and then carry her over the finish line.They say that their campaign is all about democracy, yet here they go and seek to upend the results of a primary in which Democrat voters across this country voted that Mr. Biden should be the Democrat nominee for president. However, because they fear that he will lose, they are now preparing to do something that was never done before and simply disgorge the democratically chosen candidate for president.
Then they tell us that they are the ones fighting for democracy and Trump is the dictator.
The media is gleefully formulating and driving this instead of simply reporting what others are saying and doing.”SOURCE: On Logic by Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz, 2024 July 10, www (dot) yated (dot) com

[1] Every man should require a legally-binding pre-nuptial contract,
that protects his assets from Divorce Court. It may be necessary
to have 2 or 3 pre-nuptial contract signed, because the wife can
always claims that she was coerced into signing the contact.If the woman will not sign a legally-binding pre-nuptial contract,
then DO NOT MARRY HER, regardless of who she is. Just don’t![2] DO NOT SIGN any documents that legally recognize you
as the father of ANY child, until AFTER you get a DNA test
that proves that the child that your wife gave birth to
is actually your biological child.Women are very clever: When they cheat on their husbands,
they choose a man who LOOKS LIKE like their husband,
so if a baby is born as a result of her cheating,
the child will look like her husband, and nobody will suspect.Therefore, you must get a DNA test to prove that your child
is really your child, even if the child looks like you.[3] DO NOT TELL your wife that you are DNA testing your children!
And get the DNA test results sent to your work address,
or relative’s home address, not your home address,
where your wife may open your mail

Baalei Teshuvah and their children, Sephardic Jews, poor Jews,
older men, divorced men, disabled men, and any man whose
reputation has been destroyed by rumors.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantArizal stated that the Gimel Shevuot [Three Oaths]
did NOT APPLY after 1,000 years of exile.Rabbi Chaim Vital taught that the Three Oaths
were only binding for the first thousand [1,000] years of Exile,
in his Introduction to Sefer Eitz Chayim.This means that The Three Oaths expired more than 900 years ago.
If you believe that The Three Oaths are halachically binding,
then just TRY to find them in: the Arba Turim, Shulchan Aruch,
Rambam’s Mishnah Torah or the Shulchan Aruch HaRav.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantPresident Joe Biden recently made a public statement
in which he said that he was “proud” to be
“the first black woman to serve under a black president”.President Joe Biden confused himself several times in the sentence:
He confused himself with his own vice president,
Kamala Harris, and referred to her time
as vice president under Barack Obama.================================
None of this surprised me.When Joe Biden became USA President 4 years ago,
I said: “Congratulations!
You just elected America’s first senile President!”Those were my exact words, 4 years ago.
================================
Over the past 4 years, the neo-Marxists and Stalinists
who dominate the MSM (Mainstream News Media)
have conspired to conceal and deny the senility
of President Joe Biden.But the recent debates made Joe Biden’s senility undeniable.
The Mainstream News Media should be held accountable
for their conspiracy to conceal and deny the senility
of President Joe Biden.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantRambam, Hilchot Shabbat, chapter 2, paragraph 23:
[The following rules apply] when gentiles lay siege to Jewish cities:
If their intent was financial gain, then Shabbat laws
should not be violated because of them,
nor are we allowed to wage war against them.If a city is located near the border, however,
we should march against them with weapons
and wage war against them, even when
they are [merely] demanding hay or straw.In any location, if the gentiles’ intent was [to harm] Jewish lives,
or if they engaged in battle with a city or laid siege to it,
without stating a specific intention, we must wage war against them
and the Shabbat laws should be violated because of them.It is a mitzvah for every member of the Jewish people
who can come [to their assistance] to go out
and help their brothers who are under siege
and save them from the gentiles [even on] Shabbat.It is forbidden to delay until after Shabbat.
After they [the Jewish soldiers] saved their brothers,
they [the Jewish soldiers] may return home
with their weapons [even] on Shabbat, so that a
dangerous situation will not be created in the future.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantRabbi Aryeh Kaplan [ZTL ZYA] said this in his
HANDBOOK OF JEWISH THOUGHT, volume II,
chapter 3, paragraph 24, top of page 23:“Experience has shown us that when Jews are
not ready to defend and die for their fellows,
an even greater number are killed in the end.”SQUARE_ROOTParticipantRabbi Steven Pruzansky said:
“The IDF [Israeli Army] soldier fulfills three mitzvot
that cannot be fulfilled by the soldier in any other army:
[1] the settlement (Yishuv) of Eretz Yisrael,
[2] preserving Jewish life (Pikuach Nefesh),
[3] and Kiddush HaShem, the sanctification of G-d’s Name,
implicit in the Jewish people exercising sovereignty over our homeland.”SOURCE: Ask the Rabbi, Part 22 by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky
