What you are looking at above is a couple of kitzonim, the extremist thugs, in Bet Shemesh being picked up by a security camera stealing tzitzis that had been tied for Israeli soldiers on the front.

If anyone were to file a complaint with the police it should not be hard to find them. The police know who the extremists in Bet Shemesh are. They deal with them regularly and it isnt a massive community.

I would not be disappointed if the jerks were arrested and tried for treason as supporters of Hamas, who are now considered equal to ISIS and the Nazis.

Somebody asked me today, "Do you think we'll ever get past this?"

I answered, "We don't eat bread for eight days because we're still mad at Raamses II."

On Wednesday, I'll travel to Israel to stand in solidarity in the face of Hamas's brutal terrorist attack.

I'll then travel to Jordan to address dire humanitarian needs, meet with leaders, and make clear that Hamas does not stand for Palestinians' right to self-determination.

Meaning, they normally eat the treif burgers, the cheeseburgers, the McNuggets, the McRibs and all the other chazer treif sold there but now they will boycott because of McDonalds stance on Israel. I guess they will have to switch over to eating Burger King or Wendy's (though I do not know their positions no Israel)...

Israel is scheduled to transition off of DST to Winter Time at the end of October. According to Barkat, the troops will benefit form the extra hour of daylight during active hours, so instead of sunset at 4:30 it would be at 5:30, and the economy will benefit from this as well. Additionally, people get down and depressed during the winter months with darkness settling in early - keeping it daylight for a bit longer will keep people's spirits up a bit.

Some support the initiative, saying it will help the war efforts.

Others oppose the initiative. Minister from Shas along with Minister of Communication Shlomo Karhi are opposed to the initiative because it will hurt religious people who need to pray. With a late sunrise people wont be able to pray until 7am instead of at 6am.

I do not personally have an opinion on the matter other than to say that if it really would help the troops and the general morale of the nation, and I do not know if it will or wont and that should be studied, it should be done. At this time that is the most important thing. The religious people, myself included, can sacrifice a bit and daven a little later for a short period of time. It seems a little selfish while the troops are sacrificing everything including their lives, or at least risking them, that davening at 7 is our biggest problem and we give priority to that. And again, I do not know if extending daylight savings time will help the troops, and that should be studied, but if it will it should be done.

The only justification I can think of for the opposition of the extension is if the opposing ministers are referring to religious soldiers not being able to daven until 7am which might be too late for them. If they are referring to civilians I see no justification in the event that the troops really will benefit from the extension.

I do think it is interesting that this is an effect of, and conversely can effect, the war.
