    A 2021 Department of Justice report revealed that 64%
    of federal arrests in [year] 2018 involved noncitizens,
    despite them comprising only 7% of the population at that time.

    Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

    “Christmas, the most joyous of holidays to Christians,
    has been among the most dreaded
    of days for Jews throughout history.

    In many parts of Europe it was a time for pogroms and beatings;
    Jews were to be punished for their refusal
    to acknowledge the divinity of J—-.”

    flamingOTD, there are many things that I want to say to you,
    and I do not have the time or the patience to say even 10% of them now.

    So I will make this quick as possible:

    The 25 million to 50 million ILLEGAL ALIENS who live in the USA
    have made *** EVERYTHING *** more expensive for ALL Americans.

    Their presence has increased the prices of: food, gasoline, housing, etc, etc….

    Many ILLEGAL ALIENS were convicted of VIOLENT CRIMES in their native lands,
    and many of them have continued to commit VIOLENT CRIMES in the USA.

    Other countries LAUGH at the USA, when they empty their mental hospitals
    and send their lunatics to the USA, to be paid for by unfortunate USA taxpayers.

    MY RESPONSE:

    There are also no [or very few] Zionists today.

    Even in the early 1990s, the Jewish newspapers mentioned many times
    that we are now living in “the post-Zionist era”, meaning that
    most Secular Jews in Israel were no longer Zionists, even in the early 1990s.

    The Chareidi Gedolim condemned the Zionists of the 1930s to 1950s,
    not their grandchildren and great-grandchildren who are alive today.

    When will you stop living in the 1950s?

    You just contradicted yourself!

    You have said or implied many times, that the ONLY people

    Yet you just asked as to believe Judge Halevi,

    On a different topic, your comments in this YWN Coffee Room
    have done more to make Jews HATE EACH OTHER
    than anything else that I have seen in many years.

    You constantly work to make Jews HATE EACH OTHER,
    and YWN is also guilty, because they approve your
    hate-filled hate-causing comments.

    If YWN truly desires to promote Jewish unity
    and help Jews be zocheh to the Melech HaMashiach,
    then they should delete all of your comments and ban you completely.

    In Olam HaBa, the hate between Jews that you caused many times
    will outweigh all of your good deeds, and drag you down to Gehinom.
    You laugh at me now, but you won’t be laughing in Gehinom.

    And YWN Moderators will join you in Gehinom,
    because they approved your sinful comments.

    Thank you for publicizing this relevant but little-known historic incident.

    Please allow me to add 3 details that you did not mention:

    [1] In the massacre described above,
    more than 800 Jewish men had their head chopped off.

    [2] In the massacre described above, ALL widows and orphans
    of more than 800 Jewish men were made into SLAVES.

    [3] Muslims are required, by their religion, to believe that
    this incident describes the most correct and most righteous behavior,

    That statement is the opposite of the truth,

    the History of Islam and nothing about History of Jews in Muslim lands.

    More evidence that the Agudath Israel organization is pro-Israel:

    ______________________________
    Yeshivah World News said this:

    In response to Hamas’ October 7 [2023] atrocities and Israel’s war
    against terrorism, Agudath Israel of America is organizing an ongoing
    “Virtual Washington Mission” to impress upon the nation’s elected officials
    the importance of their continued support for Israel and to solicit their aid
    in helping to address the security challenges currently facing American Jews.

    Agudath Israel’s Washington Office has worked closely with the organization’s
    nationwide regional offices to coordinate the virtual meetings with
    over 30 senators and congresspersons. And more are being arranged.
    Some members expressed their desire to have in-person meetings,
    which were convened in their home districts.

    The agenda of these meetings has included the need for Congress
    to back up Israel’s rooting out of Hamas, to condemn and isolate
    the terrorist group, the safeguarding the hostages, and to quickly
    pass legislation to provide Israel the military aid it urgently needs.

    In addition, the activists are expressing concern regarding the
    dramatic uptick in antisemitic incidents in the U.S., particularly
    those experienced by Jewish students on America’s college campuses,
    and urged the members to support a substantial increase in federal
    security grants that support shuls, schools and other community institutions.

    The mission’s participants include hundreds of rabbinic and
    lay leaders across the country, all meeting with their respective
    members of Congress. Participants report that the reaction
    of the senators and congresspersons has been overwhelmingly
    positive, and receptive to the Jewish community leaders’
    perspective and message. The members of Congress stressed
    how important it is that they hear from their constituents at this time,
    and how every individual who reaches out to a congressmember makes an impact.

    The meetings have led to tangible results including members
    of Congress co-sponsoring legislation, reaching out to University deans,
    and in one case, authoring a letter to Secretary Blinken asking him
    to arrange a screening of the Israeli video featuring the brutality
    of Hamas’ October 7th attacks for members of Congress and the media.

    “Everyone needs to understand that now is the time to talk to
    your elected officials in Washington,” said Rabbi Yossie Charner,
    Agudath Israel’s director of congressional affairs.

    “For every PRO-ISRAEL call a congressional office receives,
    we have been told that it gets even more from the other side.
    We, as both an organization and as constituents,
    must make our voices heard.

    MY RESPONSE:

    Thank you very much for this accurate and valuable quote.
    I already verified the link that goes with the quote.

    This Hadith – which preaches that ALL JEWS must be KILLED by Muslims
    — appears seven [7] times in the Hadith. There are two versions of this Hadith:

    In the first version, which you already quoted,
    the Last Jew is hiding behind a rock,
    before he is KILLED by a Muslim.

    In the second version, the Last Jew is hiding behind a tree,
    before he is KILLED by a Muslim.

    In all versions, the Last Jew On Earth is KILLED by a Muslim,
    which completes GENOCIDE against ALL JEWS – even those Jews
    who are non-Zionist, and even those Jews who are anti-Zionist!

    The wicked brainwashed Neturei Karta *** NEVER *** talk about
    this quote from Islamic holy books, because it contradicts their
    false version of Jewish History, which falsely claims
    that there was no Muslim anti-Semitism, before “The Zionists”.

    May G*D punish them for relentlessly spreading lies
    that mislead both Jews and Goyim.

    “Yud Tes Kislev” is NOT a real Jewish holiday, because:

    It is NOT mentioned in Tanach.
    It is NOT mentioned in Mishnah.
    It is NOT mentioned in Talmud.
    It is NOT mentioned in Midrash.
    It is NOT mentioned in Gaonim.
    It is NOT mentioned in Rishonim.
    It is NOT mentioned in Shulchan Aruch.

    We already have more-than-enough real Jewish holidays,
    without also accepted the false holiday of “Yud Tes Kislev”.

    Everything that I just said about “Yud Tes Kislev” is even more true

    The leaders of Hamas intentionally place Arab civilians –
    including Arab children – in places where they are most likely to be killed.

    They do this for many reasons:

    __________________________________________
    [1] Hamas knows that the MSM (Mainstream News Media)
    will blame Israel, and *** ONLY *** Israel,
    for the deaths of Arab civilians.
    This is a big propaganda victory for Hamas.

    Therefore, the leaders of Hamas intentionally place Arab civilians –
    including Arab children – in places where they are most likely to be killed,
    for the purpose of scoring propaganda victories against Israel.

    The leaders of Hamas could have easily saved the lives of Arab civilians,
    by permitting them to enter underground tunnels.
    But they DO NOT WANT to save the lives of Arab civilians,
    because they want the MSM (Mainstream News Media) to blame Israel,
    and *** ONLY *** Israel, for the deaths of Arab civilians.

    Stated another way, the leaders of Hamas use Arab civilians –

    This is rarely mention by the Mainstream News Media.

    I agree with this comment.

    In the 1990s, many Secular Israelis were identifying as “Post-Zionist”,
    meaning that they no longer identified themselves as Zionists.

    I strongly suspect that this trend has increased greatly since then,
    even though Jews are no longer talking about it.

    Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

    “The world may have to deal with terrorists in order to save lives.

    But the moral scandal is that in addition
    to simply dealing with these terrorists,
    much of the world has HONORED them.

    The standing ovation accorded to Yassir Arafat
    – the architect of international terrorism –
    by many UN [United Nations] representatives
    in Geneva in [year] 1988 [CE] will live in infamy.

    The willingness of world statesmen – including
    the Pope and other moral leaders – to treat
    Arafat as a person deserving of tribute
    is beyond moral comprehension.”

    What the Satmar Rebbe did in the 1950s is Ancient History and is no longer relevant.

    In the 1950s the State of Israel was less than ten years old and did not include The Kotel.

    In the 1950s the vast majority of Jews in the State of Israel
    did NOT have telephones and waited many years to get one.

    In the 1950s the State of Israel was NOTHING compared to what it is now.

    In the 1950s, anti-Zionists were a very small minority opinion
    and Satmar represented a very small minority of Orthodox Jews.

    After The Holocaust, anti-Zionism became
    much less popular among Jews,
    and after the Six Day War of 1967 CE,
    anti-Zionism became even less popular among Jews

    Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA said this about the modern State of Israel:

    The State of Israel was one example he gave of
    the need to replace kana’us with a more balanced view.

    On the one hand, he fully endorsed a letter issued
    by Rabbi Elazar Schach on the eve of Agudath Israel
    entering the governing coalition in Israel in 1977 [CE],
    which called upon the religious community
    not to be carried away by enthusiasm for a state
    founded as a secular state, whose laws are secular laws,
    and whose leadership is secular.

    He had himself frequently warned those leaving for Israel,
    “Don’t lose your head at the sight of a Jewish army.”

    At the same time, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky]
    disagreed with the view of the Satmar Rebbe
    that the miraculous Israeli victory in 1967 [CE]
    was the work of the sitra achra (satanic forces):

    [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky said:]

    ________I deny that miracles can emanate from a destructive satanical force.
    ________Miracles of such magnitude can only be performed by a force for good
    .”

    Reb Yaakov [Kamenetsky] felt that but for
    the creation of the State in 1948 [CE] a million Jews
    would have become assimilated as a result of
    the despair that followed the Holocaust and
    attributed the renascence [rebirth] of Soviet Jewry
    to the miraculous Israeli military victory in 1967.

    If only the Israeli government had also recognized
    Hashem’s miraculous deliverance in 1967 [CE],
    he added, history would have been changed.

    .…

    Similarly, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky] concluded, recognition of
    Israel’s role in preventing millions of Jews
    from losing any connection to the Jewish people

    must mitigate our kana’us, even as
    our love for our fellow Jews in Eretz Yisrael
    must “not blind us to [their] shortcomings.”

    from from the ArtScroll History Series biography
    of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, chapter 22, page 547:

    In a fascinating letter to Rabbi Menachem Porush,
    written half a year after Israel’s dramatic victory
    in the Six-Day War [in year 1967 CE], Rabbi [Moshe] Sherer
    agreed “that what transpired were great miracles.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:

    This short quote proves that Rabbi Moshe Sherer
    disagreed with those who said that Israel’s dramatic victory
    in the Six-Day War resulted from the sitra achra (satanic forces)
    [for example: the Satmar Rebbe].

    Rabbi Menachem Porush was a member of Knesset for Agudath Israel
    between 1959 and 1975 CE, and again from 1977 until 1994 CE.
    The Jewish Press published Rabbi Porush’s articles hundreds of times.
