Some 40,000 haredim demonstrated in New York in favor of regulating Internet access and, in particular, against Facebook which subverts traditional family values.

They are right, the subversion is there, but there is hardly any way to stop the progress, however detrimental it is to traditional moral values. Likewise, insular Jewish communities of Eastern Europe opened up to the world about 150 years ago, and American haredim are no different. Out of Israel, there is no long-term option for Jews to escape assimilation.

Police seemingly abandoned their usual cover-up tactics and reported yet another incident of rape: the Arabs assaulted two young girls near Haifa.

The statistics is nothing new, such crime is commonplace for years. There must be a reason the government decided to frighten the public, and that reason is not clear. One possibility is that the Interior Minister plays his own political game after losing Lieberman’s support. Another possibility is related to political aspirations of ex-security chiefs. Yet another is that Netanyahu attempts to set the goals other than attacking Iran.

While the government keeps talking about legalizing many of the outposts—which is not likely due to foreign pressure—demolitions continue.

This week the Jewish army helped tear down two Jewish hamlets, and this night they tore down yet another, Ramat Migron. In this Jewish madness of a national army siding with the nation’s enemies against its most patriotic elements, the IDF detained several Jews for trespassing in a closed military zone. How did a hamlet become a military zone in the first place, and only for demolition? Closed military zones according to the law can only be set up when there is imminent danger to Jews. In civil relations, such a false declaration would easily be recognized as forgery.
