More abuse by the Israeli police - Yeshiva World News

https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/1851401/police-officers-jump-on-recovered-toldos-aharon-covid-19-patient.html



R’ Eliezer Samet, a Toldos Aharon chassid, who recovered from the coronavirus and tested negative twice for the virus, was suddenly pounced on by two police officers and arrested on Rechov Malchei Yisrael in Geulah on Tuesday morning on the mistaken assumption that he was an active coronavirus patient who was supposed to be in quarantine.
Samet was one of the first people in Jerusalem who was diagnosed with the virus and has fully recovered. He was walking on Malchei Yisrael on Tuesday with his wife on his way to visit his father.
According to a report by B’Chadrei Chareidim, the police ignored R’ Samet when he explained that he had already recovered. R’ Samet then said: “If you’re going to arrest me, at least do it quietly. Don’t humiliate me on the street. Let’s go to the side.” But the policemen insisted on arresting him in the middle of the street. Only after much effort and the intervention of askanaim were he and his wife released.
His family members are furious, telling B’Chadrei: “They were even already called this week to donate blood at Hadassah Ein Kerem [for the antibodies in the plasma to be used to treat coronavirus patients.] What’s happening here is that the right hand isn’t aware of what the left hand is doing – an outrageous lack of coordination.”
“What’s happening here is that people don’t want to be tested due to this.” [Because if they test positive for the virus they will be tracked by the police and can be fined NIS 5,000 if found outside before they receive two negative tests for the virus. The tests are often delayed and the process can take weeks. R’ Samat was unfortunately not the first person that the police mistakenly believed was violating quarantine].
“And even when he was detained at the police station, they called him to ask when he’s coming to donate blood for the antibodies. It’s absolutely crazy what’s going on here.”

Do we really know that Coronavirus is serious?

From Oct 1, 2019 to Feb 1, 2020, 12,000 - 30,000 people died from the flu in the US. The flu is a respiratory disease. The CDC estimates that 31 million Americans had the flu and 210,000 to 370,000 flu sufferers were hospitalized because of the virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year around the world. The mortality rate of the flu is around .1%, meaning 1 in 1000 people who get it die.

As German pulmonologist Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg explains, there are around 100 types of viruses that virologists track and they are changing every year. Virologists test for the ones they have tests for. Normally, 7-15% of viruses are coronavirus, which is also an acute respiratory disease. Coronavirus is not a new disease. People die from it every year.

So in China in the city of Wuhan, which is a huge city with millions of people, they have resperatory illness sufferers. Doctors ran a few tests on a small group of less than 50 people and found a new variant of coronavirus. All the test shows is that it's a different variant. Normally, you have to be very careful with these kinds of findings, look at them very thoroughly to see what you have, see how severe it is, how damaging, how many recover from it. But Chinese virologists 

The test for this virus is new and its reliability not confirmed. Also, when people die, you have to try to figure out if they died from the virus. Many were in intensive care for other things and died while having the virus but that doesn't mean they died from the virus. All of this takes time to sort out. But in this case, there has been a rush to action and all the proper research has not been done.

goal of the First Lebanon War was to bring down the Hashemite Kingdom

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20200504-terrorism-was-israels-pretext-to-turn-jordan-into-palestine-says-ehud-barack/

The goal of the First Lebanon War was to bring down the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and turn the country into Palestine, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has said in a shocking admission about the true intention of the Zionist state.
Israelis were told that the objective of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon was to remove forces belonging to the Palestinian Liberation Organisation and end the threat posed by the resistance group to its northern communities. Barack admitted that this was untrue, explaining that the real goal was to use the “pretext of Palestinian terror” to force the PLO back to Jordan where they would take over government from the Hashemite Kingdom.

Velt News BIG STEP: A million Israeli children head back to school, Kids less likely to contract or pass on virus


Excerpts:
"After a long 7 week ‘lockdown,’ millions if Israeli’s will head back to school Today."
"The decision was made last minute by the health ministry, Times of Israel reports, adding  ‘An Israeli study underpinning the decision found that though younger children were less likely than adults to contract the virus or pass it along, there was still a possibility they could infect others.’"
------------------
Here’s the key phrase, “decision was made last minute”. So one minute we can’t be near each other less the sky fall and the next there’s no problem. Just hop when we order you to, just like in the military.

For seven weeks the kids learn how to not be in school and then suddenly without warning, without a period to adjust mentally, we are off to school, even as the rules of engagement there are still uncommunicated.  And kids are scared. Didn't we tell them that there is
horrible danger lurking out there. Didn't we tell them that anybody who goes to a minyan is a rodef? Didn’t the government and press tell us over and over again how horrible the Charedim are for not following the rules? Weren’t there raids on Charedi classrooms in Beit Shemesh at the end of last week! Didn't we tell the kids they can't walk 100 meters from the house. Two days ago I watched a bar mitzvah online because it is far too dangerous for the family to gather 20 people in a huge room or even outdoors. But it's off to the classroom kids. Don't be scared now.
This entire culture is built on militarism. The military trains each young person in the prime of youth to be a military commander when dealing with other human beings. Just order them around. Don't worry about the effects of that.

Rasha

 He may have pretty eyes, he may look cuddly but he's a rasha just the same. Why else would nearly the entirety of Avigdor Liberman's demands to join the Blue and White coalition consist of opposition to Orthodox Judaism. From Times of Israel:


On Sunday, Liberman listed in a Facebook post his conditions for joining a coalition. The first was guaranteeing a monthly stipend of at least 70 percent of the minimum wage in Israel for all retirees living off old-age pensions or guaranteed incomes.
All the other demands concerned the issue of religion and state.
He demanded that the right to decide whether to allow public transportation and open businesses on the Shabbat day of rest be transferred from the government to local municipalities and councils. 
Another demand was a year-old pledge to pass, unaltered, a draft law regulating the conscription of ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students to the military that was passed in a first reading in the Knesset in 2018. The ultra-Orthodox parties have vehemently refused this demand.
Liberman’s fourth demand was approving civil marriage in Israel, where religious authorities currently control all registration of marriage, and the fifth was to allow all city rabbis to oversee conversions to Judaism — a demand opposed by the ultra-Orthodox because they fear many people will go to relatively liberal rabbis who impose less stringent demands.
Isn't that remarkable? Nothing about healthcare, the economy, education, crime, security? The request for the montly stipend is largely vote buying. According to TOA, Liberman adamantly refuses to join a Likud right-wing coalition because he believes Netanyahu, his former mentor of sorts, was responsible for legal complaints against him and his family, as if he is above that sort of thing. So this faker who claims to be principled, who paraded around in the clothes of a right winger, will join with the left and the Joint List of Arab parties and risk losing the opportunity to annex half of area C because the idea of buses not running on Shabbos is such a major calamity for him. His whole being opposes Toras Hashem. He wants Charedim in the army even though the army doesn't need them. But he'll join with the Arab party even though Arabs don't serve in the army. It's all about who he hates and he hates Charedim.

Who are the fools who voted for this man?
