Sandak, a resident of the Bat Ayin settlement, was fleeing Border Police in a car with three other so-called hilltop youth on December 21, 2020, when the car flipped over, killing him. According to police, Sandak’s group fled from police before losing control of their vehicle. Sandak’s defenders view his death as a police killing; they allege that the police car hit his vehicle from behind, causing it to run off the road.

Attacks on Jewish people rising on Instagram and Twitter, researchers say
Researchers who study social media say that they are seeing an increase in anti-Semitic posts from far-right users of Instagram and Twitter and that the services aren't doing enough about it.
Separate researchers who were independently looking at the two social networks said attacks on Jewish people had spiked on both services ahead of the midterm elections on Nov. 6, similar to a rise in harassment before the 2016 presidential election.
Many but not all of the posts mention billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros, the researchers said. Soros is frequently the subject of unfounded conspiracy theories, and his home was among the targets in a series of attempted bombings this month.
Which Jews are criticizing Jewish philanthropist George Soros?
It’s not just people in power who are calling attention to Soros: This spring, there were half a million negative tweets about him in one day, according to the Anti-Defamation League, which says the Soros theories “can serve as a gateway to the antisemitic subculture that blames Jews” for unrest in the US Many of the tweets, according to the ADL, blamed Soros for fomenting violence in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests.

Blinding is alternative to capitol punishment

So Glenn Beck Calls George Soros a Nazi Collaborator? Marty Peretz Said It First
https://forward.com/opinion/133132/so-glenn-beck-calls-george-soros-a-nazi-collaborat/
The part that’s gotten the most attention is a reference, repeated several times, to Soros’s childhood in Nazi-occupied Budapest, when Soros’s father hid him and his siblings with Christian families as their “godchildren.” As Soros describes in his own 2003 authorized biography, he went out at times with his godfather-protector to deliver Nazi orders to Jewish residents and — once, apparently — to inventory some property confiscated from Jews. Here’s how Beck tells it:
So when George Soros was 14, his father basically bribed a government official to take his son in and let him pretend to be a Christian. His father was just trying to keep him alive. He even had to go around confiscating property of Jewish people.Now, imagine you are Jewish and you have to go and confiscate the property of your fellow Jews. And you are pretending to not be a Jew and if anybody finds out, you’re dead. He actually had to endure watching people send off to their eventual murders, watching people gathering their stuff, sending them off knowing that they were going to go to their death.
As Beck tells it, Soros
used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then ship them off. And George Soros was part of it. He would help confiscate the stuff. It was frightening. Here’s a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps.When he had to go over and take the lands from the people, his fellow Jewish friends and neighbors who were being sent to the gas chambers, I can’t imagine what that would do to a teenager, or anybody, to an adult. Well what did it do to George Soros?In an interview with Steve Croft, Soros was asked if he felt guilt at all about taking the property from the Jews as a teenager. He responded — no. He also said, quote, I don’t deny the Jews their national existence but I don’t want to be a part of it.
Congressman: Holocaust Survivor Is a Nazi Collaborator Who Organized Charlottesville Rallies
“George Soros survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary, and he has spent his life supporting efforts to ensure that such terrifying authoritarianism never takes root again,” his foundation said in a statement to Vice. “He was 14 years old when the war ended. He did not collaborate with the Nazis. He did not help round up people. He did not confiscate anybody’s property.”
“Such baseless allegations are insulting to the victims of the Holocaust, to all Jewish people, and to anyone who honors the truth. It is an affront to Mr. Soros and his family, who against the odds managed to survive one of the darkest moments in our history. He abhors violence in any form and has never funded it. Never has. Never will.”

אמת ליעקב בראשית פרק כז פסוק ד
(ד) בעבור תברכך נפשי בטרם אמות.
עיין במלבי"ם כאן שביאר בטוב טעם שכוונת יצחק בזה היתה לעשות מעין שותפות יששכר וזבולון בין יעקב ועשו, והינו שיעקב יקדיש את חייו לעבודת ה' ועשו ימציא לו מזונו, ועיי"ש32.

Hearing Delayed in Complaint Against Andrew Cuomo Due to 'Potentially Defective' Filing
Apple has previously been criticized for his handling of the case. Cuomo's attorney, Rita Glavin, said that the sheriff of Albany County "didn't even tell the District Attorney what he was doing."
"But Apple's behavior is no surprise given (1) his August 7 press conference where he essentially pronounced the Governor guilty before doing an investigation, and (2) his Office's leaking of grand jury information," she continued in a statement. "This is not professional law enforcement; this is politics."

No, George Soros wasn’t a Nazi soldier
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/feb/10/facebook-posts/no-george-soros-wasnt-nazi-soldier/
We’ve fact-checked a version of the same photo before, as have reporters at Snopes and the Associated Press. The photo isn’t fake or doctored, but it also doesn’t show Soros, despite what the text attached to it says. A quick reverse image search reveals that much.
In reality, the photo is of Oskar Gröning, a former SS soldier who was sentenced to four years in prison in 2015 for being complicit in the murder of 300,000 people during the Holocaust.
The Vilification of George Soros In Israel
https://momentmag.com/the-vilification-of-george-soros-in-israel/
There are many reasons why Soros is vilified in Israel, and one of them is clearly the liberal focus of his philanthropy. Largely through his charitable organization, the OSF, Soros gives nearly $1 billion a year to organizations worldwide that support democracy and civil society. Only a tiny fraction of this annual largesse goes to Israel: From 2006 to 2016, OSF gave an average of around $3 million a year, an amount that pales in comparison to funds provided by other American mega-donors.
Debunking the George Soros-was-a-Jew-killing-Nazi conspiracy theory
Glenn Beck’s three-part Fox News series about George Soros in 2010: “The Puppet Master.”
Soros was very rich and world-famous before the series aired. He had been sometimes portrayed as a hero, such as for spending billions of dollars on foundations promoting democracy in Eastern Europe. And he had been sometimes portrayed as a villain, as when he earned a fortune by speculating against the British pound in the 1990s.
But Beck turned Soros into a cartoon nightmare — using actual puppets as props as he told Fox News viewers that Soros was funding a vast web of liberal organizations and trying to “form a shadow government, using humanitarian aid as a cover.”
Beck’s treatment of Soros’ childhood was bizarre. In the second episode of the series, Soros was called “the son of Orthodox Jews.” In the third, Beck said, “his mother was wildly anti-Semitic” — a Nazi sympathizer who had perverted her son.
“He was a Nazi collaborator,” Jones told his viewers a few weeks after Election Day. “He went around and helped round up thousands of people, stole hundreds of millions of dollars, reportedly. ... He got off on it. The guy is fundamentally evil.”

George Soros is not a Nazi, explained
https://www.vox.com/2018/6/11/17405784/george-soros-not-a-nazi-trump
Donald Trump Jr. is more than his father’s right-hand man — he’s his most important link to the conspiratorial far right.
He tweets constantly about the “deep state” to more than 2 million followers, continually sending them the signal: Trump hears you.
And as the 2018 election heats up, many of Trump Jr.’s tweets center on billionaire and longtime progressive donor George Soros. Specifically, they focus on a conspiracy theory regarding the Hungarian-born Jewish investor: that he’s a Nazi.
So yes, George Soros is a billionaire with ties to progressive causes. But he is not a Nazi. Or a Nazi sympathizer. At all. Despite what one might see on Twitter (or Reddit or Facebook) — or even hear from members of Congress. When one Republican Congress member suggested to Vice News that Soros had funded the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VIrginia, last summer in an effort to discredit the right, he made sure to add that Soros ”turned in his own people to the Nazis.”

Exonerated Man Who Spent 37 Years in Prison Denied Compensation for Wrongful Conviction
A Florida man who was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder has been denied compensation for the 37 years he spent in prison.
Robert Duboise, 55, was released from prison in August 2020 after being behind bars since 1985.
However, Duboise had previously been to prison for non-violent offenses, and according to Florida state law, anyone applying for prison compensation is required to have a clean record.

After passing budget, gov't eyes bringing haredim into coalition
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/316370
After long nights of voting and debates, the coalition finally passed the budget last night (Thursday night). Now they will try to test its expansion. One such topic: cooperation with the haredi parties.
In recent months, the question of the haredi factions joining the government has received an unequivocal answer - Lieberman said "it is either me or them", and the haredi have made it clear that they are not interested in joining the government at all.
But senior government officials point to the new post-budgetary political situation as an opportunity to bring back the issue of cooperation to the table.

The Chofetz Chaim Hated Russian Communist Leaders
https://60ribo.org.il/the-chafetz-chaim-hated-russian-communist-leaders/
It was told in the biography of Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman (in the English Artscroll edition, page 59) what the Chafetz Chaim (who usually has the final say on what is Jewish Law) did to the Communist, Trotsky.
A certain heretic who was in Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi’s neighborhood would upset him by incessantly challenging the legitimacy of verses. One day, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi took a rooster and placed it between the legs of the bed upon which he sat and looked at it. He thought: When the moment of God’s anger arrives, I will curse him and be rid of him. When the moment of God’s anger arrived, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi slept. When he woke up, he said to himself: Conclude from the fact that I nodded off that it is not proper conduct to do so, to curse people, even if they are wicked. “His mercy is over all His creations” (Psalms 145:9) is written even with regard to sinners.
Berachos (19a)
There were these hooligans in Rabbi Meir’s neighborhood who caused him a great deal of anguish. Rabbi Meir prayed for God to have mercy on them, that they should die. Rabbi Meir’s wife, Berurya, said to him: What is your thinking? On what basis do you pray for the death of these hooligans? Do you base yourself on the verse, as it is written: “Let sins cease from the land” (Psalms 104:35), which you interpret to mean that the world would be better if the wicked were destroyed? But is it written, let sinners cease?” Let sins cease, is written. One should pray for an end to their transgressions, not for the demise of the transgressors themselves.
Moreover, go to the end of the verse, where it says: “And the wicked will be no more.” If, as you suggest, transgressions shall cease refers to the demise of the evildoers, how is it possible that the wicked will be no more, i.e., that they will no longer be evil? Rather, pray for God to have mercy on them, that they should repent, as if they repent, then the wicked will be no more, as they will have repented.
Rabbi Meir saw that Berurya was correct and he prayed for God to have mercy on them, and they repented.
Youngkin accused of antisemitism after claiming allies of Jewish donor George Soros ‘inserted’ operatives into Virginia school boards
GOP gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin is facing allegations of antisemitism after accusing allies of Jewish philanthropist George Soros of a shadowy campaign to place secret political operatives onto Virginia school boards.
In an appearance Tuesday night at a rally at the Burke Volunteer Fire Department, Youngkin tried to link Soros, his Democratic opponent Terry McAuliffe and cultural debates roiling some suburban Northern Virginia public school systems. In particular, some parents are protesting equity initiatives they associate with critical race theory, an intellectual movement that examines the way policies and laws perpetuate systemic racism.
What Glenn Youngkin’s Virginia win means for Democrats
https://www.vox.com/2021/11/3/22752593/virginia-governor-results-youngkin-wins
Many on the right and in the national media have framed Youngkin’s attacks on the purported use of “critical race theory” in Virginia’s public school system as crucial to his success. It isn’t so clear that was what made the difference, though, since conservative candidates focusing on that issue in local races in New Hampshire and Connecticut lost.
And while Youngkin used the specter of critical race theory to appeal to the base, his TV ads aimed at swing voters had a wider focus. In those, Youngkin conveyed concern about the state of the economy and the state’s education system more broadly. He falsely claimed McAuliffe planned to raise taxes by over $5,000 per family, and argued that the state’s public schools were increasingly poorly run and unsafe.
Virginia governor-elect Youngkin was accused of using antisemitic tropes
Republican Glenn Youngkin, a businessman, has defeated former governor Terry McAuliffe to become Virginia’s governor in a race that was fraught with charges of antisemitism.
Local and national media organizations called the race, which was widely viewed as a barometer for Republican electoral strategy in the post-Trump era, early Wednesday morning.
Youngkin embraced former US President Donald Trump in the primary but distanced himself from Trump in the general campaign, while still managing to retain the support of Trump’s core constituencies.
25 years later, man sues bar mitzvah tutor, synagogue and day school for abuse
Nearly 25 years after his bar mitzvah tutor pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct, a 40-year-old New Jersey native has sued the former tutor as well as the synagogue and day school that employed him.
The tutor, Akiva Roth, pleaded guilty in 1997 to four counts of lewdness, and lost his jobs at the East Brunswick Jewish Center, the former Solomon Schechter School of Essex and Union counties and Camp Ramah in the Berkshires. But the plaintiff in the lawsuit and two other former students of Roth who were interviewed over the past month contend that the three institutions failed to properly inform their communities of the situation, allowing Roth to continue teaching in other Jewish organizations for years.
