The Doctor Who Helped Israeli Spies Catch Eichmann But Refused Recognition For It

NRP

The story of the needle is also the story of Dr. Yonah Elian, an Israeli anesthesiologist recruited for the Eichmann mission to administer the sedative. He hid the needle in a drawer for most of his life and refused to come out of the shadows — even as the other Israelis on the mission were crowned national heroes.

In a tweet late Tuesday, Barak rejected the Daily Mail's "despicable insinuations" and threatened to sue the paper.

"I indeed was in his house, I never took part in any party/meeting of the kind hinted to," he wrote.

"I suggest the people at the Daily Mail and anyone cooperating with them to prepare their credit cards. The libel suit is on its way."

Later Wednesday Barak was expected to address the report during a conference of his Israel Democratic Party.

SUSPICION: SEVERAL BOYS RAPED 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND DOCUMENTED THE ACT

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Suspicion-Several-boys-raped-11-year-old-girl-and-documented-the-act-595823

For nearly four months, an 11-year-old girl has been admitted in a mental health facility after suffering from two suspected group rape cases, one of which was a knife was pressed to her neck as she was made clear that if she complained she would get hurt.

The rapes were documented by the participants, boys aged 13 and 14, who studied with her in the same educational institution, with their mobile phone cameras. Later, the videos were distributed among all the school's students, as well as to the educational staff and the school administration.

Israel Police questioned the youths involved in the affair and released them, claiming that because of their age they cannot be subject to punishment. 

However, the family attorney, Hillel Babayev, is unwilling to let the case go and intends to fight until the participants are sent to a closed criminal institution

Trump makes 13 false claims in Cabinet meeting

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/16/politics/donald-trump-fact-check-cabinet-meeting/index.html

(CNN)President Donald Trump uttered a rapid series of false claims, at least 13 in all, during his Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. He made another claim for which there is no public evidence, and he offered positive words about an ally's accusation for which there is no public evidence.

Leave Jews Out of It

But Trump immediately forfeited whatever claim he might have had to raising valid questions about Omar’s appalling lack of gratitude when he included her three colleagues, all of them natural-born American citizens, thereby suggesting they are not genuine Americans. His attack was of a piece with the conspiracy theory he propagated to launch his most recent foray into politics: that the country’s first black president is not a natural-born American citizen. It was also of a piece with traditional anti-Semitism. Trump’s line of attack—instructing a group of American citizens to “go back” from where “they came”—is one that can easily be, and often is, deployed against Jews.

The claim that Jews are not loyal to the countries in which they reside is one of the hoariest, most pernicious of anti-Semitic slurs. Malleably affixed to a diasporic people, the accusation oozes from the left and right fringes of the political spectrum. Omar recently attributed her colleagues’ support for Israel to campaign donations and implied that American Jews “push for allegiance to a foreign country.” Long before that, the cantankerous Nixonian Pat Buchanan called Congress the “amen corner” of the “Israeli Defense ministry” and accused prominent Jews of advocating for wars that would be fought by “kids with names like McAllister, Murphy, Gonzales, and Leroy Brown.” Whether emanating from the woke, anti-Zionist left or the reactionary, isolationist right, the charge is basically the same: Jews are an alien presence, always and everywhere unwelcome guests in those lands unfortunate enough to hos them<

Which is why Trump’s attempt to implicate American Jews in his bigoted harangue against the Democratic congresswomen is so pernicious. Some Jews, like Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii, have criticized Trump for citing the women’s views on Israel as justification for his tirade. “You really have to leave us out of your racist talking points,” he tweeted. “You are not helping us, you are not helping society, you are not helping Israel.” As the question of whether Jews are white is seriously debated among left-wing identitarians (so that Jews may be ranked on their intersectionality victim pyramid), Trump’s invocation of Israel to attack four ethnic-minority women is breathtakingly cynical, effectively working to pit Jews and people of color against each other.

Shaked blasts 'hypocritical' outrage over Rafi Peretz

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/266089

Former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked defended Education Minister Rafi Peretz (United Right) on Wednesday, calling the backlash against Peretz “hypocritical” and a de facto form of censorship.

Shaked’s spoke out following a public backlash against Peretz over his comments in an interview aired Saturday night in which he expressed support for so-called gay “conversion therapy” to help people with same-sex attraction alter their sexual orientations.

While Shaked emphasized that she personally is adamantly opposed to conversion therapy, the former Justice Minister said the attacks on Rafi Peretz were a hypocritical attempt to silence dissenting views.

On Tuesday, following the public backlash, Minister Peretz renounced his support for conversion therapy, calling such treatment “unacceptable and severe”.

In a letter to Tel Aviv school principals, Peretz wrote: "I know that conversion treatments are unacceptable and severe, and I understand that this is an invasive treatment that is incompatible with the human psyche, causing patients more suffering than relief, even reaching the point of life-threatening suicide that could be prevented.

As the leading targets of hate crimes, Jews are routinely being attacked in the streets of New York City.

https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/287821/orthodox-jews-attacked-brooklyn-hate-crime

The incidents now pass without much notice, a steady, familiar drumbeat of violence and hate targeting visibly Jewish people in New York City.

Early on the morning of June 15, a Saturday, two men in a white Infiniti drove around Borough Park, a vast, traditional Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in central Brooklyn. Surveillance footageposted on the local website BoroPark24 showed a man jumping out of the car’s passenger side as someone in a shtreimel and long black jacket walked down the sidewalk in their direction. As the car idled, the passenger approached the Jewish stranger, lunged at him in a linebacker-like stutter-step, and then darted to the waiting vehicle, which promptly sped away. Levi Yitzhak Leifer, head of the Borough Park Shmira neighborhood patrol, said there were at least six and as many as nine reported incidents that night involving the same vehicle. Beresch Freilich, a rabbi who serves as a community liaison with the NYPD in Borough Park, said that some of the targeted individuals sensed a violent intent: “The car passed by going back and forth, and they felt it was trying to run them over.”

ANN COULTER BLAMES EUTHANIZATION OF BEAR THAT ATE MAN WHO OVERDOSED ON METH ON LACK OF BORDER WALL

https://www.newsweek.com/ann-coulter-blames-euthanization-bear-that-ate-man-who-overdosed-meth-lack-border-wall-1449637

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter on Tuesday blamed the euthanization of a bear in February, that was put down after it ate a man who had overdosed on methamphetamine, on the lack of a wall on the southern U.S.-Mexico border.

"The poor bear was euthanized for no reason. (Except that we don't have a wall on our border)," Coulter tweeted on Tuesday afternoon, alongside a link to a New York Post report, published in February, titled "Man eaten by bear after meth overdose."

She’s one of a growing number of young people — largely millennials, though the trend extends to younger Gen Xers, now cresting 40, and down to Gen Z, the oldest of whom are freshly minted college grads — who have turned away from traditional organized religion and are embracing more spiritual beliefs and practices like tarot, astrology, meditation, energy healing and crystals.

mistaken psak! ? הבן נעצר עם סמים של אביו - האם מותר לו לגלות?

https://www.kikar.co.il/323842.html

הרב זילברשטיין הכריע ופסק כי אסור לבן להסגיר את אביו. "כך גזרה תורה, כחוק שאין בו טעם, כפרה אדומה, שאין רשות להלשין על האב, כשם שיוסף הצדיק נשלח לבית האסורים על לא עוול בכפו ויצא לפתע, כך הבחור הזה, יגיע היום לפתע יוציאו אותו מהכלא ויעלה מעלה מעלה מבירא עמיקתא לאיגרא רמא".

that would mean that abused children can not call the police
