שלח לחמך על פני מים, כי ברוב ימים תמצאנה
who is interested in knowing the exact schedule of this piece of tumah?!
Just for the record…One can not leave Beit Lechem for Israel, as your story states.
Beit Lechem IS Israel. L’chol hadaios !!
Don’t submit to the press’ liberal terminology!
What a shame…..
The Goyim are wearing yarmikas and the PM and President of what is supposed to be a Jewish State have their heads uncovered. Shkootzim!!!
I hope they don’t sit down together for a Chazer (pig) dinner like Netanyahoo had a previous venue.

If the pope is wearing a head covering- maybe those 2 guys on both sides who belong to a religion that institutionalized the idea- should have worn one too. Maybe giving away Kever Dovid makes them feel uncomfortable to wear a Jewish bini!
Anyone living in jlem wants to know the schedule so that they can try to not be bothered by it… though today they already showed that accuracy was not part of the schedule by delaying for over 2 hours….
When will Am Yisrael wake up and remove the Tumah from the land? Remove all the places of Idol Worship. Remove the Ishmaelite murderers, and remove the leftist anti-Torah regime. Din Torah NOW!
You either fight to promote this or you are part of the erev-rav.
To the Editor: Food for thought. Is it possible that quoting a Gadol B’Yisrael’s warnings to us and then completely negating his admonitions just a couple of hours later is perhaps slightly insensitive? Even if one doesn’t agree with his opinion, isn’t there still room for tact? Just food for thought.
Earthquake yesterday … epicentre jordan ….coincidence???
