Last night, Israel Police blocked 50 right-wing activists – many linked
to the outlawed Kach Movement founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane – from
entering the Arab village of Araba in the Lower Galilee. The right-wing
activists were hoping to disrupt a wedding between an Arab man and a
Jewish woman.
After widespread public outcry in response to news
earlier this week that the IDF was moving its swearing in ceremony for
new recruits to its haredi Netzach Yehuda battalion from Israel’s
national Six Day War memorial at Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem to a
closed army base due to haredi threats, the IDF has changed its mind –
the ceremony will be held Sunday at Ammunition Hill after all, just as the battalion's soldiers wanted.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Paul Wooten ordered CBS to turn
over all communications it had with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s
Office about the production and promotion of its upcoming documentary

Not only that, as you can see on this video, the yeshiva is openly messianist (the yellow flags in the yeshiva's Lag Ba'omer parade and the "yechi" yarmulkes worn openly by some students), and the parents of these messianist kids are often the schochtim and mashgichim working at Agri Star. And, as you can see at right, the yeshiva says, Postville is "Sholom Mordechai's [Rubashkin's] Town."
Chabad in Melbourne continues to harass and shun Zephania Waks for supporting his son Manny's campaign to bring Chabad (and other) pedophiles to justice.

United Torah Judaism Party MK Rabbi Meir Porush was even more
blunt in his criticism, reportedly calling the government’s newly
tweaked proposal for a law drafting haredim a "miserable bill designed
to crush the world of Torah.…The future of our existence is in
danger. There should be Knesset committees to reform the secular
education [system], which creates criminals and murderers, rather than
recruiting yeshiva scholars for army service,” Porush said.

The Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes continues to prosecute Sam Kellner, despite the mounting evidence that Kellner was set up by the family and friends of accused pedophile Rabbi Baruch Lebovits.
