Or HaChaim (Bamidbar 19:02) Let us assume that we have two containers inside a house, one full of honey, the other full of refuse. If you take both these containers outside it will be observed that the container full of honey attracts swarms of flies whereas the number of flies which are attracted to the container full of refuse is insignificant by comparison. Similarly, when a Jew dies, the fact that he was full of holiness while alive -i.e. sweet as honey,- now attracts all kinds of spiritually negative elements seeing the soul has departed from that body. These are the forces of impurity which always attempt to attach themselves to anything sacred as they wish to benefit from the physical sweetness of holiness. This is the reason that the body of a dead Jew confers impurity on any other Jew who is under the same roof. This is so even if 1000 houses attached to each other surround the room in which the dead body is kept. As long as one door opens into those houses the impurity is spread throughout the airspace in all these houses. The same does not occur if the dead body is not that of a Jew. This is because the Gentile never possessed holiness while alive so that the spiritually negative elements have no reason to think they would benefit by attaching themselves to it. The body of a dead Gentile confers ritual impurity on a Jew only if the Jew touches it, etc., not if he merely shares the same roofed-over airspace with it. The only impurity which does cling to the body of a dead Gentile is that which is capable of killing on contact. The root cause for all these rules is the Torah which was given to the Jewish people.

The Haredi Draft Crisis Is only part of the story
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/428990
The battles over the draft, national identity, Judea and Samaria, against terrorism, and against international pressure are all part of the struggle over whether the Jewish people will continue embracing their national revival or retreat from it.
Reserve soldiers from all sectors are furious that they continue to carry the burden of war while an entire sector remains largely exempt from military service. Families are exhausted after multiple rounds and hundreds of days with a husband, father, or brother serving on the front lines. They resent the lack of uniform rule of law and that they bear the burden while others do not.
These issues are all connected. The battles over the draft, national identity, Judea and Samaria, against terrorism, and against international pressure. At their core, they are all part of the same struggle over whether the Jewish people will continue embracing their national revival or retreat from it.
Trump Calls New York Times Story ‘Treasonous,’ Vows to Add to Lawsuit
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-calls-new-york-times-iran-story-treasonous-vows-add-lawsuit-12101843
President Donald Trump called reporting by The New York Times on the war against Iran "treasonous" and said he would add the report to his lawsuit against the newspaper.
"The way the Corrupt and Failing New York Times is covering stories on a very battered and beat up Iran, through FAKE & MADE UP ‘FACTS' is, in my opinion, ‘TREASONOUS,’" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Sunday night.
Trump's new remarks came after he criticized a Times analysis suggesting months of conflict had changed little strategically, while Trump claimed Iran’s military and economy had been severely damaged. The Times has previously said Trump’s lawsuit is without merit and an attempt to stifle independent reporting.
Murdoch Outlets Turn on Trump Over Iran Deal
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-iran-deal-criticism-murdoch-fox-news-wsj-new-york-post-12096724
Rupert Murdoch-controlled outlets, including Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, are breaking with President Donald Trump over his Iran deal, in a rare instance of sustained criticism from influential conservative media.
Across those outlets, hosts, commentators and editorial pages have questioned the deal’s terms and broader strategy, marking a notable shift from their frequent alignment with Trump’s agenda. The criticism underscores the outsized role these platforms play in shaping conservative opinion and political messaging.
Within Fox News and conservative commentary, some voices have directed criticism at Vance or other negotiators involved in crafting the deal, suggesting that Trump himself may not have been deeply involved in the details.

G-d controls everything?
The deal of the millennia: Like acne, peace is breaking out across the Middle East
https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-899965
The lion is not eating the lamb, but sitting down at the table together with the lamb, piled with burgers and fries alongside Persian kotlet and Ghormeh Sabzi.
In the grand sweep of biblical history, few moments rival the miraculous turnaround we are witnessing today. The ink is barely dry on what historians will surely call the Deal of the Millennia, the comprehensive accord between the United States and Iran, and already the lions are lying down with the lambs. Or more accurately, the ayatollahs are trading their turbans for MAGA hats and their missile programs for golf courses. US President Donald Trump reminds us that the Deal of the Millennia draws its inspiration from his wife Melania, who has always been the peacemaker in the family.
Hezbollah in Lebanon held a press conference in a Beirut café next to a newly opened Trump Tower franchise, where Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah appeared in a sharp navy-blue suit and bright red power tie, with a matching MAGA hat in place of his earth-toned turban. In a voice cracking with emotion, he declared: “For too long we worshiped a false god of vengeance and martyrdom. We were blind, but now we see.
Trump claims he can control IDF actions in Lebanon because Israelis respect him
US President Donald Trump said this week that he would be able to keep Israel from launching new attacks in Lebanon because the country has a lot of respect for him, thanks to his previous policies regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Trump was asked during an interview with Axios — which was taped on Thursday and aired Friday — whether he’d be able to “control Israel from attacking Lebanon,” as Washington and Jerusalem have publicly disagreed about the decision to tie Israel’s offensive against Hezbollah to the controversial memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran.
“They have a lot of respect for me, and they do as I say,” he added, recalling how he pulled the US out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal orchestrated by the Obama administration and which Jerusalem opposed, and how he authorized a major attack on Iran’s three main nuclear sites during Israel’s 12-day war with Tehran last June.
Trump insists US-Iran MoU qualifies as Tehran's 'unconditional surrender'
https://www.jpost.com/international/article-899972
In an interview with Axios on Thursday, US President Trump said that there were no limits to his power and claimed that he had achieved regime change in Iran by killing the previous leadership.
US President Trump said there were no limits to his power and that he believed the Memorandum of Understanding between Washington and Tehran constituted Iran’s unconditional surrender in an interview with Axios on Thursday.
“It really probably is unconditional surrender. I think so,” Trump said when asked about the MoU.
Trump emphasized the damage the US had done to Iran’s military forces and senior officials, including Iran’s former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, claiming that he had achieved regime change through killing the previous government officials.

Ex-Trump official: US-Iran framework is ‘enormously helpful’ to Iran
https://edition.cnn.com/2026/06/19/business/iran-deal-trump-economy
The diplomatic breakthrough between Washington and Tehran is a potential gamechanger for Iran’s war-battered economy, former Trump energy secretary Dan Brouillette told CNN in an exclusive interview.
Brouillette expressed concern that the US-Iran agreement is “a little too generous” to Iran, including by giving Iran “certain things up front,” such as the right to immediately sell oil. He noted estimates that the sale of oil and fuel could generate $60 billion a year for Iran.
Trump said on Wednesday that if the war continued, there would have been a 1929-style “economic catastrophe.”
Garnel where are You?
The world has become overwhelmed with a Pandemic 0f Trump Derangement Syndrome. Obviously you would claim caused by Obama and Biden. Even Fox News, NYPost,Yated and MAGA have caught it. The average Israeli views him with contempt. Trump is being portrayed not as the defender of Israel but as the strongest champion of Iran. Garnel you have attacked me for months for being critical of Trump. Where are you now when the whole world has turned against him this self proclaimed Defender of the World?

Halacha and Reality
Michtav M'Eliyahu (4:355): When Rav Dessler was asked concerning certain halachos that the reason that had been given for them is not in accord with modern science... for example (3) This that it is permitted to kill lice because they don't reproduce sexually (Shabbos 107b. Rav Dessler stated that concerning this matter and those like them the Halacha never changes even though the reason doesn't make sense to us. We are to hold on to the Halacha with two hands whether to be strict or lenient [not like the Pachad Yitzchok]. The reason for this is that the Halacha was known to Chazal by tradition through the generations and they also knew things through experience.... The important point is that the reasoning they gave did not create the Halacha but rather the reverse was true, the Halacha created the reasoning. The reasoning given in the gemora is not the only possible explanation. If they happened to give explanations on occasion which were only true according to the science of their day, we have an obligation to search out alternative explanations that will justify the Halacha according to modern science.... Even if one cannot find a convincing explanation, we must still believe with perfect faith that the Halacha is still true and we hope that G d will enlighten us with an appropriate explanation.
Rambam (Letter on Astrology): I know of course that it is possible to search and find isolated opinions of some sages in the Talmud and Medrashim whose views contradict what I have said. ... These statements should not trouble you because one doesn’t simply discard a clearly established halacha and revert back to the initial analysis. Similarly it is not appropriate to discard a well validated principle and simply rely on a minority opinion of the sages instead. That is because the sage is not infallible and might have erred by overlooking some important facts or hints when he stated his views.
Chazal - Everything They Say Is True
Igros Moshe (Y.D. 2:70): It is not possible that the generations following the completion of the gemora would know about that which is not visible to the naked eye. Only the Sages of the Talmud (Chazal), with their kabbala and their sevara, could possibly know about it. We are obligated to believe that everything that they say is true. In contrast, after the completion of the Talmud even the Gaonim...
Chazal and Accuracy of Details
Niflaos Tiferes Shlomo (73): … An obvious question is why we find that throughout the Talmud and Medrashim stories and wonders are told by the Tannaim and Amoraim with widely varying details. One will say this is the way it happened and while another will tell a different version. If so, G d forbid that one of them should be telling a lie! ... The fact is that we are not really concerned with the details but rather the basic message. Thus our Sages were not so concerned with the particular details as long as long as the message was conveyed. So what difference does it make when a good person is being praised and glorified or the opposite if a wicked person is being degraded – the message is the important thing not the details…? All that should matter is that the desired purpose is achieved in a particular story to arouse a proper impression in the listener so that he understands the words of Torah and his faith is strengthened in Divine Providence and the strength and power of tzadikim. What difference does it matter if the details vary? Therefore there is no significance in the differing versions because they all describe the essential truth.

Who Won the Iran War? 10 Military Experts Explain
https://www.newsweek.com/who-won-iran-war-10-military-experts-explain-12084896
The U.S. laid out several goals when it joined Israel with strikes against Iran on February 28. It succeeded in beating down Iran's conventional military power. But it did not fully achieve the White House's other stated objectives: eliminating the threat of Iranian nuclear weapons, regime change, dismantling Tehran's support for proxy groups and wiping out its ballistic missile capacity.
"There was no meaningful victory for ordinary Iranians, for regional stability, or for U.S. strategy."
"It's one of those cases in history where everyone fails."
"Significant achievements for both sides—though the U.S. achievements that mattered most arguably occurred last year in one day."
"Iran came out on top because, while the United States accomplished key military objectives, the political impact of the deal and the economic relief the deal could provide may allow Iran to undo U.S. military success."
"It is difficult to make the case that this war achieved any significant positive result for the United States."
"Neither side will gain a complete victory. That said, I think the United States is in a better position."
"There is a relative consensus worldwide, even in the United States, that Iran has won the war and President Trump lost this war."
71% of Israelis don’t trust Trump to look out for them in Iran deal; just 11% say Israel won war
A television poll published Thursday found that only a sliver of Israelis feel their country won the Iran war, or trust US President Donald Trump to look out for their interests as he negotiates a deal with the Islamic Republic.
In addition, most feel that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s conduct hurt Israel’s interests in the US-Iran agreement, according to Channel 12 news.
The numbers marked a stark departure from the robust support Israelis have given Trump for years in poll after poll. Now, however, there is deep concern across Israel over the terms of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding signed this week, while a series of recent harsh public criticisms of Israeli officials from both Trump and US Vice President JD Vance point to a rift in the US-Israel relationship.
Is the Iran war really over?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/06/18/is-iran-war-really-over/
Iran won an immediate end to the fighting and the lifting of the American naval blockade of its ports. Washington agreed to issue waivers letting Iran resume selling its crude, to unfreeze some $24 billion of its assets and to help develop a reconstruction fund of at least $300 billion.
Iran conceded remarkably little. It will open the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping while the final terms of the peace deal are being negotiated. The six remaining U.S. hostages being held by the regime never featured in negotiations. Iran’s lead negotiator, the speaker of the parliament Mohammad Ghalibaf, boasted that the regime had won at the table “several times over” what it could not win on the battlefield.
The Iranians may be tempted to push their advantage, with American deterrence obviously weakened. They can activate Hezbollah to attack Israel at will and then point the finger at the U.S. for not stopping Israel from reacting. Worse, Trump unwisely laid out his concerns about the economy in public, and Iran’s ability to shut down shipping and terrorize its neighbors has not been removed.
Israel stunned by Vance attack and implied US weapons warning
https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bkzqvtbfgx#autoplay
Israel was stunned by U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s attack on cabinet ministers but chose not to fire back or respond emotionally, in an effort to avoid widening the rift with President Donald Trump. The decision came after Trump repeatedly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent days and on Thursday evening published a post spelling out his expectations at this stage, including from Israel.
You could have been the greatest president of all, but you failed
Mr. President, you have gravely harmed the human interests of the enlightened world, and you may be remembered forever as the president who brought about America's humiliation. You betrayed us, the Israelis. And in a single moment, the contempt you once faced suddenly seems so justified and logical. Danny Zaken writes to the US president.
'Wake Up and Smell the Reality': JD Vance Warns Israel to Abide by Trump’s Iran Deal
https://time.com/article/2026/06/18/JD-Vance-Israel-Iran-Deal-Donald-Trump-Lebanon/
Vice President JD Vance on Thursday issued a stark warning for the Israeli government to get on board with President Donald Trump’s controversial agreement with Iran, suggesting Israel had alienated much of the globe in recent years and that the U.S. was its last remaining major ally.
“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” Vance said near the end of an hourlong White House briefing with reporters.
Israeli officials have expressed “deep concern” about the deal, according to Axios,. A Netanyahu adviser said Israel doesn't consider itself bound by the Lebanon part of the memorandum .
‘Everyone just needs to copy what I say’: Trump vented anger with Vance over Iran messaging
“Trump vented to others that Vance hadn’t repeated his own new phrase that Iran’s nuclear program had been ‘totally obliterated,’” Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan write in their upcoming book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump” obtained by POLITICO.
Early intelligence that leaked to the media indicated the damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities didn’t line up with what Trump had touted and Vance had used more cautious language when he appeared on ABC News. The vice president also said in that same ABC interview that the Trump administration’s intention was to not embark on regime change, only to have Trump say the opposite hours later.
Vance hits back at Iran deal critics in GOP, Israe
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5930853-vance-defends-trump-iran-deal/
The preliminary agreement faced criticism even before it was signed Wednesday evening, with a growing number of Republicans and conservative figures arguing it was too weak on Iran.
Vance pushed back on a reporter saying that Netanyahu was “fuming” over the MOU, and he warned Israeli officials critical of Trump’s deal with Iran from personally attacking the president and isolating Israel’s best friend in the world.
Israeli officials across the political spectrum have come out against the MOU, with Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir saying that “Trump’s agreement does not bind us” and urging for stronger attacks against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. A ceasefire in Lebanon is the first pillar of the MOU.

Trump’s Iran agreement may be a dud, but he’s getting what he wants
https://edition.cnn.com/2026/06/18/politics/trump-iran-deal
Donald Trump insisted last month that he didn’t think about Americans’ finances when negotiating with Iran.
“I didn’t want to see economic catastrophe. If you kept this going, that could have happened,” Trump said Wednesday, in seeking to explain what critics see as a deeply flawed agreement to end the war.
Trump’s comment, in France, was a revealing moment. It shows how, under political pressure, he often grasps for short-term advantage over the long-term strategic grind. And it underscores his reverence for the wisdom of the markets, which he said were “more brilliant” than any of his advisers “other than me, of course.”
Trump’s unfiltered commentary on Lebanon is leaving Israel with an impossible choice
Clearly tired of what Israel sees as an urgent fight, the US president is making the contradictory claims that the war on Hezbollah is both not speedy enough and not careful enough
Trump made bad Iran deal because of relentless Democratic Persecutions
Where does Trump come into the picture?
No doubt, he had turned soft. No doubt, as I had said, the mullahs, and the media, had feasted on him, so there was nothing left but the shell of a man.
They knew how to play his vanity, so that he’d be willing to sign any paper placed in front of him.
So it goes when you break a man. Have we forgotten when Trump was their dish and Adam Schiff was his appetizer?
Trump’s first four years as president were a sorry sight for himself and the nation. Four years of Russia…Russia…Russia.
For every day of four years the Democrats gave him no rest from accusations that he was a spy for Russia…all false.
From Hemingway…"The world breaks everyone and afterwards many are strong at the broken places."
The 5 passages of the US-Iran peace deal that worry critics the most: ‘Always tries to get more’
“The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war, by signing this MOU, declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other, and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and other provisions of this paragraph.”
The language about Lebanon has raised concerns in Israel, which is not a party to the agreement and has repeatedly carried out military operations against Iranian-backed Hezbollah in the country.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialog with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz in discussion with other Persian Gulf or [Gulf] states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.”
The mention of “administration and maritime services” leaves open the possibility that Iran and Oman could charge service fees to ships that want to access the strait.
“United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least USD $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Israel Worried About Trump’s Bad Deal With Iran
https://yated.com/israel-worried-about-trumps-bad-deal-with-iran/
Even before the details were released of the Memorandum of Understanding that President Trump negotiated with Iran and that was announced on Sunday, the verdict in Israel and among Israel’s supporters across the political spectrum was immediate, unanimous, and deeply disturbing: It is a very bad deal, and clearly endangers Israel’s national security.
Rather than bringing a new era of peace to the Middle East as President Trump had promised to do, the reported concessions to their demands in the new deal are likely to further embolden the new hardline leaders of Iran and make them even more recklessly aggressive. After a period of recovery from the damage that it suffered during the 40-days of bombardment by the U.S. and Israel, Iran will pose a renewed threat not only to Israel but also to Iran’s Persian Gulf neighbors and the other states across the Middle East, which are now well within the range of its drones and ballistic missiles, and which Iran has already attacked.
By agreeing to a deal that achieved none of the four original aims for which the U.S. and Israel jointly went to war against Iran, President Trump sold out both Israel and his partner in the original attack on Iran, Prime Minister Netanyahu. By failing to require Iran to give up its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, and end its support and protection of Hezbollah and its other terrorist proxies, Trump’s ignominious surrender to Iran’s demands endangers Israel’s long-term survival, and has made yet another war with Iran in the years ahead inevitable.
Dr. Donald and Mr. Trump: The Iran deal exposes a dangerous reversal
https://www.ynetnews.com/opinions-analysis/article/sjq07hgmml
The final memorandum appears even worse than the leaked version, strengthening Iran’s hold over Lebanon, ignoring Hezbollah’s disarmament and exposing a disturbing gap between Trump’s declarations and the agreement he signed
These are no longer rumors. The agreement is before us, and on some points it is even worse than the 14 leaked clauses.
