Former finance minister accuses Netanyahu of intentionally keeping ultra-Orthodox community poor and ignorant.

By Adina Katz, World Israel News

Yisrael Beiteinu head and former finance minister Avigdor Liberman launched a blistering attack against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that the premier should be eternally damned for allocating funds to ultra-Orthodox schools that don’t teach the core academic curriculum.

“I agreed to give a lot of money [as finance minister] in exchange for core curriculum studies,” Liberman told Hebrew-language Channel 12 News on Saturday evening.

“What Netanyahu did, and for that he deserves to suffer in hell every day, is he took those people and said: ‘I will give you the same funds without the need to study core studies. I want you to remain in poverty, without education, and you will suffer,’” the MK continued.

“The fact that Netanyahu has prevented Israeli children from studying core studies is intolerable, unacceptable and unforgivable.

“The man is willing to sell out on all values in exchange for power,” he added.

Liberman has a long history of making comments hostile to ultra-Orthodox Jews, including saying in 2021 that the religious parties should be “carted off to the garbage dump, along with Netanyahu, in wheelbarrows.”

Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, a close ally of Netanyahu, responded by referring to Liberman by his original Russian name, Yvette, and saying he was “jealous” of the premier.

Using Gematria, a Jewish practice of assigning numerical points to words or letters, Karhi wrote on Twitter that “Yvette” has the same value as the word “Satan” in Hebrew.

Israel’s ultra-Orthodox parties are currently slated to receive the largest-ever allocation of funds from the national budget in the history of the state, of which around 1.2 billion shekels ($328 million) will be routed to schools that do not teach English, math, or non-religious subjects.

Despite the large amount of funding, the Agudat Israel faction within the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party is threatening to vote against the state budget and topple the government, should Netanyahu not transfer them an additional 600 million shekels ($164 million) in subsidies for yeshiva students.

If the state budget is not passed by May 29th, the Knesset will automatically be resolved and the Israeli public will go to an unprecedented sixth round of national elections in seven years.

Tracy Vanderhulst, a 38-year-old math teacher at Yucaipa High School in California, was taken into custody on Thursday night for allegedly having unlawful sexual contact with a 16-year-old male student.

She has been charged with statutory rape and booked into San Bernardino’s Central Detention Center, with her bail set at $30,000.

The arrest was made following a meticulous investigation conducted by detectives from the Sheriff’s Department’s Crimes Against Children Detail division and the Yucaipa Police Department.

Vanderhulst had been working at the school since 2013 and in 2017 received the prestigious “Teacher of the Year” award. In the description of why she deserved the honor, Vanderhulst was hailed as a “kind and innovative teacher from whom we hope our children will grow” and one who “strives to engage all of her students from her intervention classes to her honors classes.”

But the allegations against her present a starkly different picture. Detectives validated that there may be more victims and asked that anyone with further information come forward to aid the investigation.

Those with knowledge of any possible crimes in the teacher-student sexual misconduct case are encouraged to call Detective Rachel Young of the Specialized Investigations Division at (909) 890-4904 or submit anonymous tips to the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463).

This case is still under investigation, and anyone with knowledge must take action to ensure justice is served.

Terrorists wounded in gunbattle with IDF forces in Samaria.

By TPS

The IDF reported that gunmen fired from a passing vehicle at a military post during the night, near the village of Irtah in northwestern Samaria.

An IDF force that was engaged in what an army spokesperson described as “proactive activity” in the area identified the suspects and returned fire. Several terrorists in the vehicle were wounded, the army said.

After scanning the area, backpacks, presumably belonging to the shooters,  were located.

In separate operations overnight, IDF forces, the Shin Bet, and the Border Police arrested seven wanted terrorists throughout Judea and Samaria.

The security personnel arrested four wanted men in the Palestinian Authority-controlled city of Tulkarem and in the villages of Bala, Senor and Siris.

During the operation, Israeli forces located and confiscated a micro-Tavor assault rifle, cartridges, a military vest and a lathe for making weapons.

The forces arrested three more wanted men in the villages of Al Mughayyir and al-Eizariya.

IDF soldiers and Border Police officers also operated in the village of Beit Awa and confiscated Carlo style submachine guns, an air rifle and ammunition.

Israeli security forces also operated overnight in the city of Hebron, arresting a wanted terrorists.

During that operation, dozens of boxes of fireworks were located and confiscated.

Army commander signs order ending prohibition on Israelis entering the site of the former town of Homesh – evacuated in the 2005 Disengagement – drawing criticism from the US Embassy in Jerusalem.

By World Israel News Staff

The United States lamented a decision by the Israeli military late last week ending an 18-year-old policy barring Israeli Jews from visiting the ruins of a former Israeli town in Samaria.

On Thursday, Major General Yehuda Fuchs, the chief of the IDF’s Central Command, granted final authorization to a Defense Ministry order dropping the ban on Israelis traveling to an area in northern Samaria which included the town of Homesh.

Homesh was one of four Israeli towns in northern Samaria which were evacuated by the Sharon government as part of the Disengagement Plan in August 2005.

Under the Disengagement Law, passed by the Knesset in the lead up to the evictions in northern Samaria and the Gaza Strip, Israeli civilians were barred from visiting the areas targeted for evacuation.

Over the past 18 years, groups of Israeli activists – including some former residents evacuated in 2005 – have attempted to visit or even resettle the former towns in northern Samaria.

A small outpost community – centered around a yeshiva – was established in Homesh, only to be demolished repeatedly by Israeli security forces.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionist Party) celebrated the decision Saturday night.

“We promised to authorize the continued Torah study at the yeshiva in Homesh, and we are fulfilling that,” Smotrich tweeted.

Fuchs’ order also places Homesh back under Israeli municipal jurisdiction, Smotrich noted.

“It adds the town to the territory of the Samaria Regional Council to enable the renewed planning for the yeshiva.”

Yossi Dagan, the mayor of the Samaria Regional Council, celebrated the end of the ban.

“This is a holiday. An important day in the history of the State of Israel. A day when historical justice was done for one of the greatest injustices in this country to the Land of Israel and to Israeli citizens.”

Last week, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (Likud) signed the preliminary order authorizing Fuchs to end the ban on Israelis in Homesh.

The U.S. Embassy in Israel lamented the move, telling the Times of Israel in a report published early Sunday morning that the U.S. is “deeply troubled” by the decision.

“The United States strongly urges Israel to refrain from allowing the return of Israeli settlers to the area covered by the legislation passed in March, consistent with both former PM Sharon’s and the current Israeli government’s commitments to the United States.”

“We have been clear that advancing settlements is an obstacle to peace and the achievement of a two-state solution. This certainly includes creating new settlements, building or legalizing outposts, or allowing building of any kind on private Palestinian land or deep in the West Bank adjacent to Palestinian communities.”

In March, the Knesset voted to repeal the Disengagement Law in northern Samaria, paving the way for Fuchs’ order rescinding the ban.

Despite the end of the ban, the government has taken no steps to rebuild the town of Homesh, nor indicated it has any plans to do so in the near future.

Israel’s national security minister also reiterated his call not to cut funding to the Negev and Galilee.

During a visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Sunday, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said that despite Hamas threats, Israel remains sovereign of the holy site.

“I’m happy to go up to the Temple Mount, the most important place for the people of Israel,” the Otzma Yehudit Party head said in a statement. “It should be said that the police are doing a wonderful job here and once again prove who owns the [the Temple Mount] in Jerusalem. All the threats from Hamas will not help, we are the owners of Jerusalem and the whole Land of Israel,” he continued.

Rabbi Shimshon Elbaum, head of the Temple Mount Administration, said Ben-Gvir’s visit “gives meaning to the slogan ‘The Temple Mount is in our hands’ which recently turned 56 years old.” Elbaum was referring to the message broadcast from Israel Defense Forces commander Mordechai Gur after his brigade liberated the Old City from the Jordanians in 1967.

Around 1,200 Jews visited the Temple Mount on Thursday ahead of Jerusalem Day, which began on Thursday evening. The annual flag march through the Old City and other festivities associated with the holiday, which marks the reunification of Israel’s capital during the 1967 Six-Day War, were also held on Thursday so as not to run up against the start of Shabbat.

Among those who visited the site on Thursday were several Knesset members, including Development of the Periphery, the Negev and the Galilee Minister Yitzhak Shimon Wasserlauf of Ben-Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit Party.

In his statement on Sunday, Ben-Gvir also addressed the Knesset vote on Wednesday boycotted by his party in protest against budget cuts to programs for the Galilee and the Negev

“We must remember our brothers in the Negev and the Galilee. In the upcoming budget we must invest in the Negev and the Galilee. Jerusalem is our soul, the Negev and the Galilee is our soul, we must invest, we must act there, we must be the owners of the Negev, also of the Galilee, and the basis is the budget,” he said.

Nearly a decade after the body of 5-year-old Jeremiah Oliver was found stuffed in a suitcase off of I-190 in Massachusetts, prosecutors have finally identified a suspect in the boy’s murder.

Alberto L. Sierra Jr., 32, was indicted by a grand jury on charges of “homicidal violence” and pleaded not guilty in court on Thursday. At the time of the boy’s death, Sierra was the boyfriend of Jeremiah’s mother, Elsa Oliver.

The news of Sierra’s arrest was welcomed by police chief Ernest Martineau, a sergeant when the investigation into Jeremiah’s disappearance and death began. Martineau said the case was “haunting to any parent,” and the police department had committed ten years ago never to give up or forget.

The medical examiner concluded that Oliver was the victim of “homicidal violence of undetermined etiology,” the case exposed serious issues in the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. An independent report found that DCF staff had not done their jobs and that DCF and the adults in Jeremiah’s life had failed to protect him. One DCF worker even lied about visiting Oliver’s home in September 2013, the month and year that the boy was first considered missing and last seen alive.

Jeremiah’s mother and Alberto Sierra have served prison time recently, but not for abusing the 5-year-old boy. While Sierra was convicted as recently as 2017 of abusing Jeremiah’s siblings, and the boy’s mother, Elsa Oliver, pleaded guilty to abusing and endangering her two other children the same year. Sierra now faces charges of murder and disinterring of a body and was ordered held without bail at his Thursday arraignment. The suspect is expected back in court next Thursday, May 25.

The death of Jeremiah Oliver is a tragedy that has haunted the Massachusetts community for nearly a decade. The indictment of Alberto L. Sierra Jr. is a step in the right direction for justice, and hopefully, the case will bring closure to the Oliver family and the community.

Naima Khan-Ghany promotes divisiveness, hatred of Jews, and the destruction of Israel.

By Joe Kaufman, Front Page Magazine

rinidad-born Naima Khan-Ghany, along with her signature hijab and glasses, wears a big smile on her face. But her friendly and grandmotherly appearance is deceiving, as she promotes vile antisemitism and the destruction of Israel and is involved with those tied to violence and bigotry, targeting Jews, gays and others. It is of major concern, because she has been appointed and recently reappointed to positions within the Broward County School Board that ironically deal with “diversity” and “human relations.” Will Khan-Ghany’s controversial exploits disallow her from further serving in such positions? Does the School Board embrace her radical activities?

Khan-Ghany is a public school teacher and adviser to local high school and middle school chapters of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), a youth group founded by operatives from the Muslim Brotherhood in 1963. She has sat on the Broward County School Board Diversity Committee, since January 2016. She is also the Chair of the School Board’s Human Relations Committee. She was recently reappointed to both by newly elected School Board member Jeff Holness, who is no stranger to Islamist gatherings. Previously, she was appointed by Holness’ predecessor Rosalind Osgood, who vacated her seat to run for Florida State Senate.

According to the website for Broward County Public Schools (BCPS), “The primary responsibility of the Diversity Committee is to make recommendations to promote diversity through the Superintendent, to the School Board, while maintaining a unitary school system.” And “The Human Relations Committee… makes recommendations to the Superintendent and the School Board on matters that foster mutual respect and understanding among people within BCPS. The committee further supports the work of the District as it pertains to policies related to diversity, educational/vocational equity, nondiscrimination, inclusion and character education.”

It would seem that the activities Khan-Ghany has been associating herself with fall in direct opposition to the missions of both the Diversity and Human Relations Committees and are huge conflicts of interest.

Khan-Ghany is a former host of Who’s Who in America, a show produced by the Al-Hikmat Islamic Network, the media arm of the Darul Uloom Institute (DUI). DUI has been a haven for high-profile al-Qaeda militants, including “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla and al-Qaeda Commander Adnan el-Shukrijumah. At Al-Hikmat, Khan-Ghany organized an event with el-Shukrijumah’s younger brother, Nabil el-Shukri. The leader and founder of DUI/Al-Hikmat is Shafayat Mohamed, an imam who has been thrown off several Broward County community boards for his talks against homosexuals. Mohamed has claimed that natural disasters are caused by gay sex.

In February 2015, Khan-Ghany was a speaker at a banquet for ICNA Relief, the social services division of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a group that has numerous ties to South Asian terror. In February 2019, Khan-Ghany was photographed with ICNA Relief USA’s Government Affairs Coordinator Syed Ammar Ahmed, who has previously joked about threatening to blow up a school. In February 2020, she was photographed with ICNA Relief USA’s Chief Operating Officer Abdul Rauf Khan, who has used his social media to promote the Muslim Brotherhood and anti-Semitic icon Louis Farrakhan and to target Jews and gays.

In May 2021, Khan-Ghany was a contact for and provided the introduction for an event featuring former South Florida imam Ibrahim Dremali, titled ‘LET’S TALK PALESTINE.’ The speech was co-sponsored by Khan-Ghany’s Broward County MSA Council. Throughout the lecture, Dremali incited against the Jewish community, telling the crowd, “The Jews… want to destroy the Dome of the Rock,” the Muslim shrine. Days prior to the event, Dremali urged others to fund Hamas; implored people to read the anti-Semitic fraud, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; and said, “If the Arab leaders open the borders for Palestine… the Jews they’ll be inside that ocean.”

Khan-Ghany makes no secret of her own hatred of the Jewish state. In May 2021, she made a series of posts on her social media questioning Israel’s right to exist and right to defend herself and calling for Israel’s outright destruction. She wrote that Israel’s claim of “self-defense” was a “usual excuse.” She posted a call for prayers for the “liberation of Palestine… from the river to the sea.” She posted a video of similar statements from members of the condemned Jewish fringe group Neturei Karta, with one outrageously saying, “At the end of the day, the Palestinian flag will be on all of Palestine, from the river to the sea.”

After Khan-Ghany posted the logos of over 60 popular US companies, writing, “Boycott these products!” she was called out by an ex-colleague. Former Broward School Board Student Representative Beau Simon wrote, “Ms. Khan I have the utmost respect for you and I enjoyed working with you at the School Board but you really should look into other ways to promote peace in the Middle East rather than ‘boycotting’ Israeli products. This post and advertisement solves nothing, if anything it divides us more. I highly suggest you reevaluate some things you may post and ask yourself ‘is this contributing to the solution or making the problem worse?’”

Khan-Ghany’s posts do not just target Israel with hate; some of them go after Jews themselves. Khan-Ghany has used social media to promote videos of notorious anti-Semite, TruNews host Rick Wiles. In one video, Wiles equates Jews with Communists, Bolsheviks and Satanists and refers to European (Ashkenazi) Jews as “so-called” Jews. In another, he spews the libel about Jews owning the media, asking, “Who planted into our minds, here in America, that we should hate and kill Muslims?… [A]fter 9/11… we were saturated with media propaganda. Who owns the media in this country?” On top of the video, one reads the message, “Make this go viral.”

With all of Khan-Ghany’s extensively documented involvement with militant Muslim groups that are related to hatred and violence and her personal promotion of bigotry and fanatical animosity towards Jews and Israel, one has to ask how she can remain so long on committees associated with the Broward County School Board. This is especially the case, given that these committees deal with diversity and human relations.

The extremists whom she aids and abets cynically view ‘human relations’ as a vehicle for promoting the advancement of Islamist causes and ‘diversity’ as a means of placing radical coreligionists in positions of power and influence. As Khan-Ghany herself stated, regarding her work in getting recognition of a “Muslim Heritage Month” in Broward County and a day off from school for Muslims placed on the Broward School Board calendar, “I am not in this for the name, fame or glorification; it is for Islam.”
