Israel Grants Residency Status to Rabbi Convicted of Child Sex Abuse

Rabbi Baruch Lanner of New Jersey was convicted in 2002 and sentenced to seven years in prison, serving three. He has recently requested Israeli citizenship

haaretz.com/israel-news/20… Most of Rabbi Baruch Lanner's abuse of kids is omitted from this Haaretz piece or greatly minimized by it even though the abuse is well documented & has previously been reported in The Jewish Week and elsewhere multiple times over the past 2 decades. Why omit it?

@AkivaMCohen @jewishstudent1 Dude. Agudah has a *history* of appeasing Christian theocratic wannabes. They celebrated the overturning of Roe even though the only head of their rabbinical council in the last 60 years, Moshe Feinstein, strongly opposed it.…

IfNotNow is a virulently anti-Israel organization started by progressives, many of whom are not Jews. INN's public faces are Jews, though. And they're detested by the vast majority of American Jews. Bernie knows all this. But here he is today touting INN's endorsement.

1/ IfNotNow's goal is to highlight Israeli abuses of West Bank Palestinians in order to stop those abuses & supposedly promote peace. But INN doesn't condemn Palestinian terrorism against Jews or rampant antisemitism in the Palestinian community. Israel is always the only bad guy

@Howard_Lovy I think the Democratic Party is in a fight for its soul and could end up as bad (or worse) than Birtain's Labour Party very quickly. Seeing violent attacks on synagogues as vehicle to "prime" the public for attacks on migrants is odd, to be frank. 1/ @Howard_Lovy Trump already openly talks about killing migrants and his followers cheer that talk. Further, Trump wants to use the Insurrection Act to use the *army* to round up and deport migrants. The violence against Jews in synagogues is what it is: antisemitic hate. 2/

@StewartMills @JoshMarks78 Because the UN divided the Palestine Mandate into 4 main parts: Jordan, the international city of Jerusalem, an Arab Palestinian state & a Jewish Palestinian state.

Thankfully, the Arab coalition lost that war. But Jordan now controlled the West Bank & East Jerusalem while Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip. 2/

Ilhan Omar used an anti-Semitic trope to criticize AIPAC for influencing US politics. When called out, she apologized, but in that apology she claimed it was PACs & lobbyists in general -she named AIPAC, the NRA and the fossil fuel industry as examples- she was targeting. But... ...Omar herself took a large amount of PAC-related money, including from a Muslim PAC & lobby group, CAIR, that is widely considered to be both anti-Israel and supportive of groups like Hamas. What follows is Open Secrets breakdown of Omar's money sources:
