Everyone has heard the cliches of life being full of surprises, and we never really know what can happen. There are few, however, who entirely understand the weight of these sayings until tragedy strikes, as it did for the family and friends of Ashley Murphy-Hayes. Ashley, a 26-year-old father, was described as “loved” and “respected” by those who knew him—an evening of fun in Bolton, England sadly ended in his fatal death in the early hours of January 7.

The night began as any other night, with Ashley Murphy-Hayes going out with his girlfriend, Kartina Kirkby, and a school friend, Paul Barrett. Barrett recalled Ashley being his “usual annoying self in a good way,” without warning of what would come. After they visited several dance venues, including ROC Night Club and Bamboogy, Ashley and Karina had a disagreement. It was then that Karina and Paul returned to Bamboogy while Ashley stayed behind.

At 4 am, passersby Mbekezeli Mayo and Jude Esan found the young father in the worst of circumstances. Ashley’s neck was stuck between railings, and he was unresponsive with no pulse. They quickly tried to free him from his terrifying predicament, and the nightclub manager called the police and emergency services. However, tragically Ashley was pronounced dead by the hospital an hour later due to asphyxia from neck compression.

At the inquest, police proclaimed no one else had been involved in the death – leading the coroner to classify Ashley’s death as an accident. His family said after the hearing that he was “respected and loved by many” and that “you knew when Ashley was in the room.”

The death of Ashley Murphy-Hayes conveyed clear messages of never taking life for granted, showing gratitude for the time we have with our loved ones, and being aware of the signs of distress in those we love. It is a reminder to always look out for each other, something the life we dearly miss demonstrated with not just his own family and friends but the ones he never had the chance to meet.

The IDF released a statement saying that the incident was under review.

By World Israel News Staff

An Israeli soldier was lightly injured in a car ramming attack in the Palestinian village of Huwara in Samaria on Monday evening.

The suspect sped off in his vehicle.

EMTs administered emergency medical care to the victim before evacuating him to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikvah.

The IDF released a statement saying that the incident was under review.

The incident comes less than two weeks after a similar attack in the same place, when a terrorist rammed his vehicle towards a group of IDF troops, injuring one soldier.

At the time, MK Danny Danon (Likud) called on the military to shutter all stores on Huwara’s main thoroughfare.

“Another attack in Huwara’s death corridor. Thankfully, there were no casualties, but the writing is on the wall. All businesses along the traffic route should be closed, and the entire length and width of the route should be secured. A zero-tolerance policy for terrorism is needed in Huwara.”

Huwara, near Nablus in Samaria, has been a hotbed of Palestinian terror for decades.

Over a month-long period earlier this year, three terror attacks took place.

At the end of February, two Israeli brothers, Hallel and Yagel Yaniv, were murdered in a drive-by shooting, prompting a riot by Jewish Israelis later that evening.  A poll later found that almost three-quarters of Palestinians supported their murder.

Two weeks later, former U.S. Marine David Stern was shot while driving through the town with his young children family. After being shot at at point blank range, Stern, a martial arts instructor, managed to shoot and neutralize the terrorist.

A week and a half later, two IDF soldiers were wounded in a shooting attack in the Palestinian town.

Also last month, an Israeli soldier was lightly wounded in a Palestinian stabbing attack in Huwara.

A day later, a pregnant woman miraculously escaped her car after it flipped over during a terror attack in the same place with nothing more than scratches.

Continuing to advertise on Twitter would go against the brand’s “progressive values,” the ice cream maker said.

By Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner

Ben & Jerry’s will end all paid advertising on Twitter because of what it called the “proliferation of hate speech” on the social media platform since it was purchased by SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the Vermont-based ice cream company announced last week.

The ice cream maker said that continuing to advertise on Twitter would go against the brand’s “progressive values” and that it has decided to take “a stand against these harmful changes” happening on the online platform. It explained that following Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, which made him the company’s new owner and CEO, hate speech on Twitter “is up dramatically while content moderation has become all but non-existent.”

“In addition to the changes on the platform that have led to an increase in hate speech, Musk himself has doubled down on dangerous anti-Democratic lies and white nationalist hate speech,” added the company that was founded by Bennett Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, both of whom are Jewish. “The platform has become a threatening and even dangerous space for people from so many backgrounds, including people who are Black, Brown, trans, gay, women, people with disabilities, Jewish, Muslim and the list goes on. This is unconscionable in addition to being plain bad business.”

Ben & Jerry’s additionally slammed Musk and Twitter’s “toxicity and tacit endorsement of hate and violence,” saying it “goes against everything our company stands for.”

“Twitter must act today to end the extremist and violent content on the platform. Until that happens, Ben & Jerry’s will spend no money with Twitter and we call on all businesses and partners to do the same,” it concluded by saying. “For the time being, we will continue to maintain a presence on the platform to connect with our community, but will revisit that presence as needed pending developments in this space.”

In July 2021, Ben & Jerry’s announced that it would stop selling its ice cream in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem, areas it called “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” because it was “inconsistent” with its company values. Its boycott decision resulted in major backlash in the US and a number of states — including Arizona, New Jersey, Texas, Illinois and Florida — moved to sell its investments in the ice cream maker’s parent company, the British conglomerate Unilever, in compliance with state laws prohibiting business with entities boycotting Israel.

Unilever then moved in June 2022 to sell the ice cream maker’s business in Israel to a local licensee, which would allow Ben & Jerry’s products to continue being sold or distributed in Israeli territories. Ben & Jerry’s filed a lawsuit against Unilever in July of last year to block the sale but to no avail.

“This decision, which defies all logic and reason, is an insult to the millions of Iranians protesting for their basic freedoms,” stated Israel’s Foreign Ministry.

By JNS

Following Iran—a country that executes its citizens for “blasphemous” social-media posts—gaining leadership over a U.N. forum based on promoting human rights through technology, the Islamic regime in Tehran has now gained another position of influence within the international body dedicated to fostering peace: vice president of the General Assembly.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry called it “a shameful decision.”

It said: “In addition to murdering its own citizens, attacking innocents around the world and racing towards a nuclear weapon with the goal of wiping Israel off the map, Iran will now serve in a senior U.N. position.”

The ministry noted that Iran advocates for the elimination of Israel, a fellow member of the United Nations, saying “this decision, which defies all logic and reason, is an insult to the millions of Iranians protesting for their basic freedoms and to the justice, peace and global stability that the U.N. is supposed to stand for.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a short video with a simple message: “I have heard all of the reports about Iran. I have a sharp and clear message for both Iran and the international community: Israel will do whatever it needs to do to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.”

Iran will serve in the position for a one-year term beginning on Sept. 5.

Hillel Neuer, executive director of United Nations Watch, reported the news and said, “This is a regime that defies U.N. arms embargoes, tramples the human rights of its own citizens and foments terrorism across the globe.

Michael Freund, chairman of Shavei Israel, tweeted: “The #Ayatollahs murder their own people, suppress democracy, threaten to destroy #Israel, sponsor #terrorism & are rushing to build a nuclear bomb. So today the #UN rewarded #Iran by electing them VP of the General Assembly. Insane! #DefundtheUN.”

In addition, Iran was appointed rapporteur of the Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Committee of the General Assembly.

In response to this decision, Ambassador Robert Wood, the Alternative Representative for Special Political Affairs, delivered a statement of protest that said, in part: “Given Iran’s persistent violations of U.N. Security Council resolution 2231, including pertaining to its ballistic-missile program, its ongoing efforts to undermine international security and its failure to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a representative of Iran’s government is unfit to serve in a leadership position within this committee, even if such a position is largely ceremonial.”

Zahra Hojabri, the U.N. correspondent for the Islamic Republic News Agency, tweeted that “the United Nations became the scene of victory for #Iran once again on Thursday after the Islamic Republic was granted two important duties at the international body.”
