Tweet of the Day


translation:
Seriously, the Jerusalem Municipality is turning off the music and issuing fines in the Machane Yehuda Market because of the Nine Days

I posted this because it went somewhat viral and the suggestion in it is interesting and cute, but it is wrong. The Jerusalm municipality twitter/x account responded that their shutting of the music and distributing of fines had nothing to do with the Nine Days. They were shutting down music and giving out fines because of municipal bylaws being violated in the playing of loud disruptive music during the "quiet hours", aka siesta hours, of 2-4pm, and also the business owners had put their music guy making all that noise out in the public walkway without a permit rather than inside their own premeses...

it is easy to assume even something as ridiculous as what was originally posted. It is good to get the true story.

While it might be against halacha to play music during the Nine Days (yes, there are different minhagim, and also different interpretations of what is considered prohibited music in regards to the Nine Days), as far as I know there are no laws against it in the legal books of Israel (other than wedding halls being shut down, and I dont think that is a law rather a directive from the Rabbanut kashrut authorities)...

Translation:
Blessings to the incoming Head of the Mossad General Roman Grofman.
Roman is an excellent officer who is not afraid to say the truth and engage with the enemy.
Roman is part of a very small group of senior leadership who before October 7 warned time and again about the conception and the dangers of buying quiet and a false sense of security.
I am certain he will take the amazing accomplishments of the Mossad and bring them to new levels..
--Betzalel Smotritch

Best of luck to Roman Gofman in his new position (I think he only starts it in June 2026) and we all wish him much success. His success is our success, is Israel's success.

so Gofman warned them time and again before October 7 and they didn't listen?  And now they are planning to listen to him or only when he says what they want to hear?

As an aside, didn't they used to never announce the names of the heads of Shabak and Mossad? They always referred to them as an initial, until recently. Now they annoucne the names and who the candidates are and who has been selected and appointed, though other senior positions are still only referred to by a letter...

today's TotD is actually from 2014...




I dont know who found this in the archives and ug it up and publicized it... most of the ocmments on that old Bteselem post are from today, not from 11 years ago...

Yes, Yahya Sinwar who was known as the Butcher of Khan Younis had a brother (now deceased) named Mohammed Sinwar who was considered even mroe hard line and more brutal than Yahya... and he worked for Btselem as a field researcher....

Translation (courtesy of X Translation services):
Special message to public service officials and law enforcement authorities: Countless people have asked me whether the elections will take place at all. I will be clear: We will not allow anyone to postpone or disrupt the elections. We are on it. Postponing elections can only happen with a majority of 80 Knesset members, and there are no such. ** On this occasion, I appeal to all heads of security systems, police officers, public employees, judges, and members of the Election Committee: Continue to uphold the law and the state. I am aware of the immense system of pressures being applied to you. It is not easy, but do not agree to break the law or bend the rules due to political pressure. You will not forgive yourselves for deviating from the law; you bear responsibility for your actions. There is a tomorrow. Do not be afraid. Soon the current government will be replaced. The bad norms that have infiltrated the public systems, such as allowing agents of an enemy state to operate from the Prime Minister's office, government ministers who receive bribes, or the intervention of political and criminal operatives in promoting military and police officers, will be uprooted from the root. Soon the state will return to a healthy track of professional management, renewal, and growth.


Very strange tweet. Until now this has been the discussion of conspiracy theorists on the Left, adding to the silly and mean conspiracy theories promulgated by both the left and the right since October 7 2023. I dont know if he has concrete information about this or not, but until now it has just been a wild and hopefully baseless accusation bandied about with no concrete information, at least not any told to the public. It is somewhat surprising Bennett is talking about this now, especially with the elections still over a year away.

That's a great way for this to play out but Mosab Yousef has denied any interest in converting to Judaism.. but I guess he could still be Prime Minister as an Arab citizen if he would get citizenship...

Hilarious!



Translation:
The Peleg Hayerushalmi people have declared a protest "Day of Rage" opposite the entrance to Prison 10 at 5pm. But the time has come and gone and the protestors have not yet arrived.
A Peleg leader told me "The protestors are stuck in traffic on the way [to the prison]. The traffic here in this country is not normal, what is this all about!?"
Completely true.

Hilarious.

They are going to protest and shut down roads that will cause horrible traffic and frustrate many and they are frustrated sitting in traffic on the way and complaining about the traffic.

Pointless as it is, it is a good tweet and a tweet similar to what many Israeli leaders and authorities should have tweeted out today.

I say pointless, as good as it is, because those who accuse Israel of being involved will continue to do so as they will just say it is a coverup and Bennett and others are lying. Lack of involvement cannot really be proven so the accusations will just continue...

right when the news broke that Israel attacked Iran I said I hope one of the first targets is this Doomsday Clock and Palestine Square. Looks like it was not one of the first targets but it was on the list!
