He never misses a chance to make a fool of himself.
Special thanks to the entire YWN staff for:
a) running news around the clock during the war
b) keeping things to facts and not circulating rumors
c) making a place for klal yisroel to know what is going on without tznius issues.
Kudos to you all!
The incoherent posts by Mr. or Mrs. Period continue to give us headaches.
If Iran becomes democratic then the USA will no longer veto a Palestine state in the u.n. this means either a one state or two state solution to the problem…. Democratically….. They will also be able to have an atomic bomb…. Democratically, which will be just as dangerous, September 11 was from the Saudi not Iran or Kabul
So if everything is peaceful once again…. Israel is expired. There is Palestine state or not, and they are Israel citizens, Syria has the golan back with the water, and mujahideen bombs the gas or puts water in the place from Lebanon gas use all democratically, like with qatar and Iran they share gas well, no energy, no water, no land, all democratically…… It’s expiration date
What is the name of this lady, head of US intelligence, that is reported to have said that according to US intelligence reports Iran has not been working on an atomic/nuclear bomb since 2003. Is she some idiot leftie?.
Re the American air base only having B-52s but no B-2s, please know that the B-52s also deliver the heaviest benefits bunker blasting munitions but they have no stealth capability. The B-2 needn’t be based locally. With refueling midair it can reach Iran directly from the USA.
The hostage forum is a fig leaf for extreme leftists same a the Kaplan group. It is not Bibi’s fault that Hamas remains obstinate on their replies to the negotiators. Hamas has done more flip flops on their demands that a circus trapeze act.
Seems like they always make the same mistake, to make impact they go after population, maybe they are afraid if they go after the army such as the air force then nothing will happen and they will just come back with nothing, when they learn not to go after blood and only after the army even if they fear that nothing will happen, then maybe we got somebody to talk with, maybe they was going after the air defense
Your most recent headline page, which doesn’t have a comments section, spoke about missiles just before midnight. It’s currently 10:05pm in Israel so that’s not possible.
Maybe we could see some of the headlines changed to….
הודו לה’ כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו!
Or, perhaps אלה ברכב ואלה בסוסים ואנחנו בשם ה’ נזכיר!
We do not want ח”ו to follow into the trap of כחי ועוצם ידי
k Haman i is still alive. He has got to be eliminated otherwise this is an exersise in futility. Just because Salami has been turned into Balogna its not enough. You can expect China and Russia to intervene with their emmisaries.
CORRECTION: If I’m not mistaken, Milei presented the photo to Netanyahu as a gift. Not the other way around.
The incoherent posts by Mr. or Mrs. Period continue unabated.
If Iran stopped supporting the terrorist and all the nuclear business, it would be worse for Israel, cause if Iran had the same army satellite programs as Israel, it would be much more devastating and dangerous then the Gaza and Lebanon if they both went to sleep, cause then Iran would have missle precision that Israel will not be able to cope with, using satilites capibilities and technology, if they waited until they would have some kind of excuse and gave into American deal maybe even make deals, it would be worse

Nuclear power in Israel
Israel operates a heavy water cooled and moderated nuclear reactor called “IRR-2” (Israel Research Reactor-2) at the Negev Nuclear Research Center (NRCN) near Dimona officially for research purposes, although many believe the installation’s true purpose is the production of nuclear materials for use in Israel’s nuclear weapons.This reactor does not operate under the inspection regime of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The NRCN also hosts a “national radioactive waste disposal site” for “Radioactive waste from hospitals, research institutions, higher education facilities and factories”.
IRR-1
edit
IRR-1, a small 5 MW open pool light water reactor exists at the Soreq Nuclear Research Center in central Israel. This reactor operates under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency
In today’s world there is education about a hydrogen bomb if USA can stop Iran from making an atomic bomb supposing that Iran would dare to hit Israel with one without using a boat to all of … Outer space, I guess can be smuggled to gaza… But then it also has to stop Iran from making a hydrogen bomb that can use twenty percent pure uranium and it has to stop all Iran projects of deuterium making….. Okay mighty and wealthy American good luck…. Never in human history has bullying via the Big man BANK ever made sense to anybody as the PEACE, as for history it was NEGATIVE to that when the big man bank becomes the humanitarian sense, Trump is in essence saying to starve Iran as business, IRAN Said a thousand times it won’t make the bomb, something is wrong here with this Trump cabinet. If it wanted it would of made the hydrogen bomb, can you rightfully stop them. They support the effort of ending Israel occupation of moslem territory etc
If they care so much about gaza why can’t we send them there for a one way vacation

There is something deeply insipid about YWN posting videos of obviously challenged Jewish men (in embarrassing circumstances) with clown emojis.

“How dare anyone go against the דעת-תורה of the venerated Gateshead ראש-ישיבה נר”ו.
It has always been the position of the true genuine גדולים already all the way back from the venerated חזון איש זצקללה”ה to vote Religious slates in all elections to crush the anti religious, & this shall NEVER change until Israel merits a full fledged authentic Torah based state.”
I would like to point out the important difference between voting as a citizen of a country and joining, and pledging allegiance to, an organization who is hell-bent on uprooting and destroying the Torah and its people. [THE VERY FACT THEY MAY HAVE SPEAR-HEADED A CAMPAIGN TO KEEP US FROM VOTING TELLS YOU WHAT THEIR AGENDA IS.]
Secondly, it is disingenuous to suggest thre is only one authentic “daas Torah” here. Rav Dov Landau and Rav Moshe Hillel, both of whom have reiterated their stance, are also part of an age-old mesorah.

does anybody have the same thought about the yoni z video it is not apporiate to have the kallah shown!!!
please clean up the comments section. or better yet, remove it entirely.

I am deeply frustrated by Yeshiva World News’ biased coverage of the ongoing discussions about voting in the WZO elections. When Rav Avrohom Gurwitz shlit”a spoke in favor of voting, YWN gave it full coverage—an article, a video, the works. But when BMG held a massive asifah with virtually all the Gedolim in America present, YWN barely acknowledged it, posting only a single token picture with no real write-up.
This kind of selective reporting is misleading and unfair. If YWN considers itself a reliable news source for the Torah world, it should present all perspectives, not just the ones that align with a particular agenda.
There was an article about this new Israel protection using the laser, literally books can be written on the sociology of it, cause the technology itself is probably not much more then the laser engraving, but the reason that they didn’t use them until now is because it was an obvious dangerous weapon, this means that anybody in Palestine and Gaza could make something like that and burn the fields or buildings even the bomb etc, it is not a simple matter, it can stop radar and planes sight with lasers, books can be written about this, but this technology might be what places like Syria was looking for, but Iran has it already, and it’s going to open up a world of military dangers when Israel uses it, somebody mentioned, microwave radiation technology also, and do you know how hot a plane or a tank can get, then there is Musk with his satilites and the use of lasers as weapons of stuff it can compass
World antisemitism. Get rid of the leader of world antisemitism, the Israeli reshaante the AG.
“*MELTDOWN:* The leftists are fuming over the massive Chasunah last night of the son of HaRav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin.”
It is very odd that you describe as “leftists” those who want chareidim to serve in the army. In American terms, this is a distinctly right wing position, and in Israel it is a position espoused by many on the right, including the Lieberman faction and many dati le’umi. Similarly, asking for massive social aid for a non-working population is a very left wing position, opposed by the right in Israel and America. Perhaps you should accept that the Bnei Yeshiva are the real leftists here.
What’s with this new “watch and enjoy” segment??
YWN. Did you discuss the matter with a halacha scholar before posting inappropiate clips of immodestly dressed women ????
Can you maybe figure out why the rabbonim made an Isir of looking TV ???? If we have TV here on YWN why should one buy a TV ???? We also have CNN female Immodestly dressed brodcasters posted here.
You might be caught up in the massive concept of being מחטיא את הרבים.
You could still fix it by removing it now.
I doubt you will aprrove this comment to be published but at least you’ve seen it and might learn to be careful before publishing these kind of images.
I might be wrong but at least discuss the matter with a Ruv.
The zionist made the state of Israel for one reason only to steal it first spiritually and then physically, now that people are going to the har habayis, with the zionist intent, to destroy the last vestige of kedusha, I have absolutely no doubt that like trump said Israel will not last, it will not. It is the end. Finished
Common Sense; It seems the issur of ערוה בעששית doesn’t apply online.
Am I dreaming? or is there really a clip of an immodestly-clad woman posted on YESHIVA World News?
(And this is without even getting into the issue of posting clips of women at all, even ones modestly dressed. But this??)

Excellent idea!
Thank you YWN!
Attention YWN,
Can you update the order of comments and responses to be listed by last date posted first and then go backwards? Why the need to reread the first post again and again? The updated posts that are from now, today, and yesterday, should be seen first…
great
They guy with the guillotine could be arrested for threatening the life of the president.
YESHIVA World News shows videos of a *GALACH* and a kloister!?
אוי לאותה בושה וחרפה
As my rebbe said about Television (tanslation from Yiddish):
“Once people were careful not to pass by a kloister; one would go around. A mother would not allow her child to go near a kloister or see a tzelem. Yet nowadays, through television they bring the kloister, the galach, and the tzelem into the house, Rachmana litzlan (may Hashem save us).
A young rabbi – in fact fine and G–d-fearing, from a pious yeshiva – related that he listens and watches television every day from twelve o’clock to one o’clock. At that time a galach speaks, and from the galach’s sermon, he gathers material to speak about from the pulpit in his synagogue! He said this sincerely, and he thinks he’s doing it for the sake of Heaven, so he will have what to sermonize about in his synagogue. He is oblivious to the tremendous sin that this involves.
Once, people would give up their lives not to hear a galach speak, but now, through television, they bring the galach into their home, and they even vest this in holiness, as being for the sake of Heaven.”
I expected more from YWN.
Every hostage saved is a win for Israel, this agreement is complete win for Israel, there is no such a thing as a cease fire in Gaza, it just doesn’t exist, them firing these rockets is proof of that, it is only a win for Israel
Didn’t Netanyahu swear up and down forever that he was going to completely destroy Hamas, and that there was no way he would ever allow them to govern Gaza again? Well what exactly is going on with this agreement? It was only a few days ago that Hamas showed that it still had the capability to fire rockets at Israel. So much for being “destroyed”. I see this as a clear win for the terrorists.
The incoherent posts by Mr. or Mrs. Period continue.
Can’t outwit Gods calendar…..
The Syrian seem to want peace with Israel, but they have a extremely poor economy, and if they make peace it would be fictional if they didn’t take back the golan and half the kenneret water for recognizing Israel as a state in that government, if this happens Israel will rely totally on desalinated water which uses energy to make the water usable, now Lebanon was conquered and defeated to the point that it won’t be able to do what happened in the gaza as a terrorist organization but Israel was hungry for that land, if they focus only on the gas of Israel that it has in the water, either by using it or destroying it, and then some clane from Libya decide to stop gas shipment to Israel or any shipment to Israel, it is yemen in the south and then Libya the West and Israel then has no energy, and that will mean no water, still dangerous next to Gaza, won’t dare to bomb again after all the billions lost, only God knows what’s happening in West Bank Palestine, maybe Iran will focus on that, sweet Syria the country is essentially over. What about a boat?
The soldier in the first video skipped שעשה נסים?

You are all a bunch of fools nothing changed nothing will change The war was a waste the enemies are still surrounding us and you’re living in a dream world. Nothing will change for the better until we all don’t repent fully and recognize that God runs the world and only those who follow the Torah can hope for the final and just redemption. I weep for the $15,000 Jewish boys who were slaughtered or wounded by the enemies
it’s all up to Hashem.you cant predict anything these days.
Bensolomon, now it’s just semi-coherent.
Israel has an opportunity now to get the hostages back and keep the north quiet for many years to come. The real danger is the west bank. Sleeping cells.
Thanks responding to my request to put captions on your lead photos.
Fixed it for you:
I know everybody! It’s hopeful. But in my opinion it’s not a win. For Israel, Hezbollah wanted to be a terrorist organization like Hamas and Egypt. It’s no worse than Syria or turkey and it won’t make weaponry any less fabulous (if they had anything!). This will also keep Iran. To use it’s scud missiles on Yemen, that will focus the mind more on boats than shipments. The Turkish government officially protected Hamas. Just don’t give money! But it’s citizens did! This will make them more proud. In economic terms (which is now BRICS) if Syrian people decide to make peace with Israel it will cost the golan! The water source is no protection. And only the “gas of the sea” is such for a country.
You’re welcome
Mods, please stop posting incoherent comments.
